Here goes...
Comin'...
through!
Infuriating!
Teruko!
Hold onto the furniture!
That one's a demon with supernatural powers!
Stop launching those reckless assaults!
EPISODE 12: THE BOAR BARES ITS FANGS, ZENITSU SLEEPS
Infuriating!
You damn insects running amok in my house!
The room freakin' spun around!
This is fun! This is fun!
Don't stomp all over her!
Who the hell are you?
What do you think you're doing, stepping on a little kid like that?
I like it! I like it!
No human's ever sent me flying like that before!
Why is he coming after me?
Isn't he a Demon Slayer?
My swords will hurt you.
Because they're not the kind of swords you little gentlemen use!
The way they shred through flesh... That's what I pride myself on!
Knock it off! There's a demon right there, you know!
Like I care!
Damn insects!
Out of my sight! Die!
The floor ripped apart all of a sudden!
At the same speed as the sound of the tsuzumi!
In the shape of a beast's claws!
Spinning right!
Spinning left!
Damn insects!
You damn miserable insects!
I'm starting to get the hang of it now!
We're in yet another room now?
But what does this mean?
That demon didn't strike his tsuzumi just now.
I'm picking up the scent of multiple demons in this house.
Is there another demon with a tsuzumi, then?
Is that why...
I can smell blood.
It's gonna be all right, okay?
Just stay behind me.
Okay.
Another human ripped to shreds and devoured!
Wh-What's the matter?
It's all right. There are no demons around.
Come on, let's head over there.
Without a backward glance.
Look straight ahead, okay?
Now there's another scent.
A unique scent of blood I've never smelled before.
Looks like there wasn't that much bleeding.
Excuse me, Zenitsu.
Signal... Signal... Signal... Signal me first!
If you want to talk, don't come at me all of a sudden!
My heart nearly flew out of my mouth just now!
I'm sorry.
If that had come to pass,
that would've made you a murderer for sure! Do you get that?
It's just that... See...
You've been sweating, gasping and shivering so horribly.
What about it? Aren't I doing the best I can here?
Well, forgive me for saying so,
but you're making me nervous, too, so...
Oh no! Sorry about that!
Even still... Even still...
If we talk too much, those demons and all will...
They might find us, right?
That's why...
I think it would be best to be as quiet as possible! Right?
A couple of kids.
Probably most agreeable to the tongue.
What did I tell you?
A demon showed up! A demon showed up, understand?
DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA
Stay away! Stay away from us!
Stop that!
W-W-We don't taste good! I'm sure I taste awful!
I'm serious, okay? This kid's all skin and bones,
so he's all dry and tastes ghastly!
How will I know until I have a taste?
Nooooo!
What was that? Quick-tongued!
Splitting a vase in two!
That's just not possible!
Zenitsu! Get up!
It's in my knees now! 80 percent of my fear is in my knees!
This is no time to whine, all right?
Just leave me behind, okay?
Make a run for it!
I can't do something like that!
What a great kid this is!
Even though I'm making terrified sounds like this!
I gotta find a way somehow!
If I don't protect him, what will become of him?
Dying before he reaches double digits would be way too tragic!
But I'm so horribly weak!
Get up!
I don't have the ability to protect him!
But if I don't protect him...
I'm gonna guzzle your brain matter through your ears!
Zenitsu!
Zenit—
He's fast asleep.
What's up with him?
Die!
Zenitsu!
Please wake up!
Wh-What's this sound?
This guy...
He's giving off a different vibe!
Zenitsu...
Thunder Breathing First Form,
Thunderclap and Flash.
It's dead!
All of a sudden, it's dead!
What the hell? I can't take this!
What is this? What is this? Yuck!
Shoichi...
Don't tell me...
Thank you! You saved my life!
I shall be eternally grateful to you for this!
Why didn't you tell me sooner that you were so powerful?
What are you talking about?
Did you say something?
No.
Uh, no. Forget it.
Let's go now, okay?
Okay.
Damn! He sent me flying again!
It's been like this for the last three days, dammit!
Making my way through a cramped building like this...
It's just not my thing for crying out loud!
Hey, you dodged me.
You seem to be a pretty fresh human.
Your flesh will be well worth gouging out!
Self-taught... Beast Breathing.
It's gonna be so worth it to shred such a huge target!
You've got guts to charge me head-on like that!
Flaunt your corpse
and serve as my springboard!
Fang Three Devour!
Comin' through! Comin' through!
Marechi...
If I can just devour some...
Fifty...
No, a hundred humans' worth...
I gotta search for more humans with marechi and consume them.
That way...
LOWER MOON SIX
I can reclaim my place among the Twelve Kizuki!
Kyogai.
You can't eat any more?
Is that all you've got?
No.
No, I'm not done!
P-Please give me more time!
J-Just a little!
I've had enough.
I'm stripping you of your number.
That's your limit, and you've reached it.
The more humans you devour, the stronger you can become.
And once he saw my potential,
Master Kibutsuji was willing to share his blood with me.
The power of that man's blood was mind-boggling.
I was sure that I'd grow infinitely stronger than ever before,
be welcomed into the ranks of the Twelve Kizuki,
continue to gorge myself on humans
and become even more powerful! Or so I believed!
Or so I believed.
Brother Kiyoshi!
Brother!
Teruko!
Wh-Who's he?
I'm Tanjiro Kamado.
I've come to defeat evil demons.
Now then, show my your wounds.
Good for you for hanging in there on your own.
Brother...
Now this ointment here is amazing!
My master gave it to me!
My master always wears a goblin mask.
Goblin?
Really?
Yes, it's true.
My master's ointment is so amazing, it works in a split second.
Okay, you're all set!
Well? The pain's gone, isn't it?
Yes!
Do you think you can you tell me what happened here?
A monster dragged me away,
a-and I nearly got devoured.
But just then,
another monster showed up out of nowhere,
a-and they started fighting to the death
over who was gonna get to e-eat me.
A-And then,
the one with the tsuzumi growing out of him...
When the other monster defeated him,
he dropped a tsuzumi!
And when I picked it up and struck it,
this room suddenly changed.
And I somehow held on until now!
A demon with tsuzumi growing out of him...
So that was him?
He mentioned marechi or something like that.
That's right!
He kept calling me "Marechi"!
What is "marechi"?
It refers to the owner of rare blood!
You little brats!
I'm going to peck you now.
Cut it out!
What do you mean by "rare blood"?
The blood of all living species can be categorized into types, idiot!
And the ultimate marechi...
The more scarce the blood,
the more uncommon...
For a demon!
A single marechi human has the same nutritional value as eating fifty!
One hundred humans!
For demons, marechi is a feast!
Marechi is their favorite food!
Marechi...
I'm leaving this room now.
Keep calm.
It's all right.
I'm just going to take down that demon.
Listen to me, Teruko.
Right now, your brother is terribly exhausted.
So, you gotta look after him, okay?
As soon as I leave the room, strike that tsuzumi and move out.
Just like Kiyoshi's been doing until now,
whenever someone tries to open the door or you hear something,
strike that tsuzumi right away and make a run for it.
I promise to come get you.
I'll follow your scent.
I'll call out your names when I open the door.
You just have to hold out a little longer.
You can do it, right?
Good for you!
You're so strong!
I'm heading out.
Strike it!
Damn insects!
So infuriating!
The tsuzumi on his right shoulder flips the room right!
The left one flips it left!
Right leg, forward spin!
Left leg, backward spin!
The tsuzumi on his belly launches that claw attack!
So fast!
The speed of the rotations and attacks is devastating!
Miss Tamayo did treat my wounds,
but these injuries aren't fully healed yet!
Can I beat him?
Can I?
These injuries hurt so bad I can hardly stand it!
All this time, I've just been enduring it!
When I pulled Zenitsu off that girl,
when I shouted out, I was enduring the most terrible pain!
I was able to withstand it because I'm the eldest son!
But I couldn't have if I were the second son!
Whenever I dig in,
the broken parts creak, and I can't muster any strength.
That demon's attack is leaving scars that look like claw marks.
It scares me so much that I can't move in closer!
Since I'm not at full strength,
if I charge forward to get within striking distance,
a flash of pain makes me stumble!
I'll get sliced into rings!
My injuries are making me imagine the most awful things!
Mr. Urokodaki!
Water can change into any form.
Pour it into a container, and it's a square.
Pour it into a bottle, and it's round.
Sometimes, it can even smash boulders and flow away as far as the eye can see.
That's right!
There are ten Water Breathing forms!
So, I can battle any kind of opponent!
If you're hurt,
then make a move that will compensate for it!
I can take on any form!
And this flow will never be stopped!
Right now, it's not just my bones! My heart's also been broken!
A broken Tanjiro's not gonna do any good!
All right! If you could please quiet down!
Look straight ahead!
Rouse yourself!
Give it all you've got, Tanjiro!
Give it all you've got!
I've done a good job until now!
I have what it takes!
And not today...
or any time in the future!
Even if I'm broken...
I'll never give up no matter what!
RUSTLE RUSTLE
PREVIEW
Give it all you've got, Tanjiro! Give it all you've got!
I'm the eldest son, so I can endure it!
You're gonna cheer me on, too, right, Nezuko?
Thanks, Nezuko!
Okay, to show my gratitude, I'm gonna cheer you on, too!
Give it all you've got, Nezuko! Give it all you've got!
You'll never give up no matter what!
You're the eldest daughter, but if anything bad happens to you,
don't endure it. Just tell me, okay?
Next, Episode 13, "Something More Important Than Life."
Looks like we've run out of time for the Taisho secret!
