01x17 - You Must Master a Single Thing

[bunniefuu]

The Twelve Demon Moons

should have larger concentration
of Kibutsuji's blood.

If I could get their blood,

it'll speed up the completion of the drug
to turn Nezuko back into human.

Right. Inosuke!

Did you defeat her?

Are you okay, Inosuke?

I'm asking if you defeated her or not.

Yes, I did.

That's not important. Are you injured?

I don't need your concern!

Listen carefully.
Make sure you understand this.

Whatever you can achieve, I can do it too.

Soon, my head will be sturdier than yours.

And then...

He's seriously injured.

I didn't manage to save my other comrades.

That demon smells of fear and suffering.

Enough to make her desperate for death.

What's happening on this mountain?

-The twelve demons are here.
-Inosuke, don't move.

-A family of demons is perched here.
-Stop! I don't need it.

I'm fine!

But I thought demons don't work in groups.

That hurts!

It hurts.

It seems I was stung by something.

What the heck?

I'm pissed.

I can't find Tanjiro and the rest.
This is the worst!

Where the heck did they go?

Which way should I go?

Plus, this place stinks.

It stinks!

I want to cry.

The scurrying sounds made
by these spiders creeps me out!

These spiders are trying
their best to survive too though!

Damn you. How noisy!

Keep quiet!

Is this even possible?

That was a human face!
It's a human-faced spider!

What's going on?
What the heck is going on?

This is a dream!

Please tell me this is a dream!

If this is a dream, I'll try my best.

After I wake up,
if I could lie on Nezuko's lap,

I'll definitely go all out!

I'll work hard on the field!

Be it 10,674 or 21,348 square feet,
I'll definitely work hard to cultivate it!

So...

Please let me wake up from this nightmare!

What's that?

Are these people turning into spiders?

Is the house floating?

It seems I could vaguely see...

Are those threads?

Plus, the stench is unbearable.

What a pungent stench.

If the master of smell, Tanjiro,
was here, he would've d*ed!

The stench is so unpleasant
that my throat hurts.

My tears are falling.

My eyes hurt so much.

It's huge!

What a huge spider!

It's massive!

This is unbelievable!

There's no way am I talking
to someone like you!

Running away is pointless.

You already lost.

What nonsense are you spewing?

Listen carefully! Don't talk to me!

I hate your kind the most!

You already know, don't you?

Something bad is going to happen.

What do you mean?

Look at your own hand.

What? My hand?

What's with my hand?

This is...

You're poisoned.

You were bitten by a spider, weren't you?

The poison will turn you into a spider.

In 30 minutes, you'll become my sl*ve
and crawl on the ground.

Look. This is a clock.

Do you know how it works?

After the long hand
moves around in one circle,

you'll become the spider's companion.

When the hand reaches here,
your limbs will feel numb and painful.

When it reaches here,
you'll feel dizzy and nauseous.

When it's here,
you'll be in excruciating pain.

Your body will shrink
and you'll lose consciousness.

After that, when you wake up...

10:55 P.M.

10:56 P.M.

-Even if you run--
-It's useless, right? Yes!

I know! I know that!

What are you doing?

Shut up!

Don't be afraid.

When the toxins spread
until you turn into a spider,

you'll lose your intelligence too.

No! That's what I hate!

Why don't you understand?

You don't have friends or lovers, do you?

No wonder you're hated!

You want me to poison you again

so that you can turn into
a spider faster, don't you?

I don't want that!

I don't want to become that!

Get it together!

Don't cry! Don't run away!

Your actions are meaningless.

Zenitsu!

Get down.

Continue with your training.

No, I thought I was going to die!

If I continue training,
I think I'll really die!

This kind of training won't k*ll you.

Get down now, you idiot!

Grandpa!

Call me master!

I really like you, Grandpa.

The girl I liked cheated my money
so that she could elope with another man.

It was you who saved me
from a lifetime of debt!

But maybe it was because
you wanted to train a swordsman.

Actually, I wanted to meet
your expectations too!

But I couldn't do it!

I feel like I have failed you!

I have been practicing behind your back!

I didn't sleep at all!

But I achieved nothing in the end!

What's going on?

Tell me. What's going on?

Calm down, Zenitsu!

You have talent.

I'm already...

Zenitsu!

I had enough of my life.

I was even struck by lightning.

My hair color changed.

I'm grateful to be alive though.

I'm the one who dislikes myself the most.

I've always known I should try my best.

But I'm scared.

I'll run away and cry.

I want to change.

I want to be useful.

But...

Actually, I already tried my hardest!

But in the end, am I going to lose
all my hair and become a monster?

You've got to be kidding me!
This is so unreasonable!

What the heck is wrong with this guy?

No! Don't come up here!

Could you leave me alone?

Just for a short while!

Am I going to lose my hair at this stage?

My hair are falling off.

That guy said nothing about this just now!

What the heck is wrong with this guy?

Isn't he one of the demon slayers
who came here to k*ll us?

Did he faint?

What a coward.

He's dead if he falls headfirst.

What the heck?

Breath of Thunder. First Form.

Poison Sputum!

He actually spun his body
and dodged my att*ck mid-air.

Compared to the guy just now,
he's different and more agile.

Breath of Thunder. First Form.

Everyone, att*ck him!

Breath of Thunder. First Form.

He has been keeping
that same stance since earlier.

I get it.

This guy

only knows one move.

Listen carefully, Zenitsu.

This is great.

Learning one move
is enough for you to celebrate.

Since you could only learn one move,
then you must hone it to perfection.

Practice it to an extent
that's beyond perfection.

That's not right, Grandpa.

Weren't you furious not long ago?

Because Breath of Thunder has six forms.

But I could only learn the first form.

Do you know how a katana is forged?

How would I know?

Will you keep on hitting me?

I'll definitely cry.

After the Kn*fe is hammered
and refined multiple times,

the impurities and excess components
are removed

to improve the purity of the steel

in order to create a strong katana.

Is that why Grandpa hit me every day?

But I'm not steel.

I'm human.

There's nothing special about this guy.

How could he be a demon slayer
with this standard?

You can't move
because of the toxins, can you?

Zenitsu, hone it to beyond perfection.

Cry if you want.

Run away if you must.

But never give up.

You must believe.

Believe in those days
of training that feels like hell.

Your efforts will definitely be rewarded.

Hone it to perfection.

Become a stronger sword
than everyone else.

You must master a single thing.

Go away.

Don't make me repeat myself.

Go away.

You heard me, didn't you?

Crying from morning to night,
aren't you embarrassed?

What a foolish guy.

Spending time on a guy like you
is a complete waste of time.

Our master is an amazing person.

But Grandpa--

He's not your grandpa.
Don't call him that!

Our master was once a Pillar.

It's a title for the strongest people
in Demon Slayer Corps!

Receiving the guidance of a former Pillar
is an extremely rare case.

The time our master spend
on you for your training

is a complete waste!

You're an eyesore to me!
Get out of my sight!

Why are you here?

Why don't you leave already?

As an orphan,
nobody expect anything out of me.

Nobody puts hope on me
for what I could master

or for what I could achieve.

Being able to help someone

even if it's only one person
in this lifetime...

A simple future of protecting her
and making her happy...

Nobody expects me to achieve that at all.

Whenever I fail for the first time,
I'll cry and run away.

Everyone will think I'm hopeless
and stay away from me after that.

But Grandpa was different.

No matter how many times it happened,
he would always rebuke me.

Time and time again, I would ran away.

Time and time again,

he would drag me back.

Although he really b*at me
too hard sometimes,

he was never disappointed in me.

Sting him!

Inject more toxins into him!

At this rate, this guy will...

What's going on?

The air is vibrating.

Breath of Thunder. First Form.

Thunderclap and Flash.

Six Fold.

He vanished!

Did I get hit?

I got hit.

That guy did it.

Someone like him.

How could this happen?

A guy who couldn't move
because of the poison actually...

11:19 P.M.

I had a dream.

It was a nice dream.

I was very strong in the dream.

Stronger than everyone else.

I have the ability to help the weak
and the people in trouble.

I was always helping.

The things Grandpa taught me,

the time he spent on me,

weren't a complete waste.

It's all thanks to Grandpa
that I became strong

and helped many people in that dream.

But I don't think I can make it.

Chuntaro.

I'm sorry.

Don't give up!

I can't give up.

I must use my breathing to slow down
the flow of toxins in my body.

Even if it's painful and uncomfortable,

I can't think about the easy way out
because Grandpa will hit me.

That's right.

Tanjiro will scold me too.

The sound just now.

Was it thunder?

How would I know?

I don't smell a thunderstorm though.

The pungent stench is getting stronger.
I can't tell.

Inosuke.

I want to go this way.

Do whatever you want.

Go down the mountain, Inosuke.

Go down the mountain.

Why? Just b*at it!

Well, you're seriously injured.

I'm not injured!

No, Inosuke.

The injuries on your body
are obvious to anyone with eyes.

A demon!

Because of the smell
flowing throughout the entire mountain,

I didn't notice her at all.

I'll cut her in half!

Damn you, demon!

Don't run!

Inosuke!

Dad!

Who's your dad?

Inosuke!

Stay away from my family!

I'm leaving the rest to you, Dad.

Breath of Water. Second Form.

Water Wheel!

-Tales of Demon Slayer Academy.
-Tales of Demon Slayer Academy.

Honestly, a school prefect needs
to be early so I didn't want to do it.

But it's hard to give it up

because I'm checking
their clothing and grooming.

Even if I stare at the girls,
I won't be scolded.

Nezuko.

Today, Makomo is cute too.

That senior looks beautiful too.

Mr. Tomioka!

I can explain. I'm only checking
their clothing and grooming.

Before you pick
on the other students' clothing,

take care of your own hair!

My hair color is natural!

Next, episode 18, "A Forged Bond."

My hair is really natural.
