02x15 - Gathering

[bunniefuu]

Thank goodness Nezuko's asleep.

Hushabye...

Nezuko!

Stop it!

Baby bunny on the hill...

Tell me why your eyes are so very red...

You sleep tight now.

I can still fight.

I can still move.

This time...

I'm going to fight to the end!

To the very end!

EPISODE : GATHERING

Huh! This really pisses me off.

You're good-looking, you have three wives,

and on top of that, you're full of swagger.

You're different, aren't you?

You're not like any of the other Hashira I have k*lled.

You must've been special since the day you were born.

A chosen talent, right?

That makes me so jealous! I need you to die as soon as possible!

Talent?

Do I look like someone with any talent?

If someone like me gives that impression, you really are living a blessed life.

You may be centuries old, but if you've stayed shut up inside a place like this...

I guess you can't help being ignorant of the real world.

UPPER SIX

What do you know about it?

I know, all right.

But you have no clue, do you? See, this country is vast.

It's teeming with people who'd blow your mind.

Some are complete enigmas.

Some can take up a sword and become a Hashira in two months.

DESTROYER OF DEMONS

Me, chosen?

Don't give me that crap!

Just how many lives do you think I've let slip through my fingers until now?

That's right.

I can't be like Rengoku!

Then how do you explain it?

UPPER SIX

My Blood Sickles are drenched with deadly poison,

yet you simply refuse to die!

I come from a line of shinobi. I've become resistant, so poison doesn't work on me.

The shinobi were wiped out back during the Edo Period!

Don't give us that crap!

That's no lie.

The shinobi exist.

I had nine brothers and sisters.

Seven of them d*ed by the time I turned .

Panicked by our clan's decline,

my father, just like a man possessed, forced us to submit to brutal training,

and the only survivors were myself and my brother, who was two years younger.

My brother was exactly like my father.

The same mindset, the same mannerisms as my father...

His subordinates were pawns.

His wives were expendable so long as they produced heirs.

No one else ever had any say.

Resolutely indifferent.

And I...

didn't want to become like him!

It's hard, isn't it, Tengen?

The path you have chosen.

Rejecting the values that shape you, that were instilled in you during your childhood,

even as you place yourself on the b*ttlefield... That's surely agonizing.

Carrying all that conflict and quandaries inside yourself...

You still...

All of you still persist in moving forward and battling on. Isn't that right?

So that you can protect other people's lives.

Thank you.

You're a remarkable child.

I'm the one who should be grateful.

Master, for your sake, I'd never think twice about laying down my life.

I can surely accomplish everything.

Those who have baggage like conflict or quandaries are spineless fools.

That's always been the story of my life.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

What the hell are you laughing about?

The poison's affecting you, after all! Slowly but surely!

Claiming it didn't work on you was just bravado! Pretty humiliating, huh?

Oh no! It has absolutely no effect on me!

Wanna see me dance?

I'm so on fire, I could eat bowls of tempura udon!

In a flashy way, that is!

Don't you dare kick my little sister!

You scumbag!

Well, those are unique explosions.

They can inflict damage on a demon's body

and explode with the slightest friction from a strike.

She got hit because she slashed one without realizing that.

She's always taking a hit, that one!

The blade is extendââ‚

He's holding onto the tip of his sword!

What kind of insane grip does he have?

Go!

Damn, I botched the chance to finish off this one!

He beheaded me again!

Damn you! Damn you!

I'll make you pay for this!

Not fair! Not fair! Why am I the one who's always getting beheaded?

Hold on. You're onto us, aren't you?

About what?

Not that finding out about us will do you any good!

Since you're going to die a slow and steady death, anyway!

Even as we speak, we're creeping toward victory, aren't we?

I don't know about that!

Better not forget me!

Not only yours truly, Lord Inosuke, but his minion is here, as well!

Who the hell are these guys?

Huh?

DESTROY

If you're wounded, come this way!

Everyone else, please flee from here!

Huh.

Hey, you guys...

Talk about flashy entrances!

That's what I like to see!

DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT ARC

DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT ARC

You can summon all the underlings you want...

but there'll still be no blissful future waiting for you!

You're all going to die, anyway...

so stop staring with those sparkling eyes!

There are two demons now.

How did that happen?

Also, the Belt Demon isn't dead!

Are they both Upper Six?

Splintered off from each other?

If that's the case...

the main unit has to be this man!

His scent is different!

The weight of his scent!

It feels like the back of my throat's gone numb!

My hands are shaking!

I wonder if it's from fatigue.

Or...

is it fear?

No!

Even so, I...

We...

We're going to win!

Us the Demon Slayers!

No way can you win!

Not when the Hashira who's your only hope is ravaged by poison!

Poison?

Oh, we're going to win easy, you dumbass bottom-feeders!

I'm at the top of my game when I'm shackled by poison in my system!

Oh, spare us your bravado!

Shut up! Don't you dare underestimate humans!

All three of these boys are my brilliant Tsuguko!

They have relentless grit!

Yeah, we do!

Even if their limbs fall off, they won't let go!

And I've already identified how to bring you down!

Beheading you at the same time!

Both of you at the same time! Am I right?

Otherwise, there'd be no reason to disperse your respective skills

rather than assimilating your weak sister into yourself!

Easy-peasy, you two!

I see! It's that simple!

We've as good as won, huh?

All those Demon Slayers perished because they couldn't do that simple thing.

Not even the Hashira!

Fifteen for me and seven for my sister.

That's how many we've devoured!

You heard him!

Not a single one lived to see daybreak!

Long nights are always on our side, after all.

Every last one of you, just die!

Zenitsu!

Leave that worm woman to me and Sleepyhead!

You two go defeat that praying mantis!

Got that?

Watch your back!

Sure thing!

I won't let you k*ll my sister.

You! You're the one from...

I have something to say to you.

Apologize to the girl you hurt by pulling her ear.

Huh?

Even if it was your earnings...

that provided them with their basic needs,

that still doesn't make those girls your belongings.

You have no right to do whatever you want to them.

Don't bore me with your stupid lecture!

In what world does someone as ugly as you get to speak to me as an equal?

In this city, women are merchandise.

The same as objects.

Getting sold, bought and destroyed.

The owner is free to do with them as she chooses.

Ugly people have no right to eat any meals.

The inept shouldn't be treated as humans!

You shouldn't do the same horrible things to others that were done to you.

You're wrong about that!

The horrible things done to us... The things that made us suffer...

We do them back to others and collect on those debts.

We can never make up for our own misfortune unless we collect it from the blessed.

Because that's the way we live our lives!

SIX

We've k*lled off everyone who's ever leveled false accusations at us, right?

We're going to slash your windpipes just like we did to the others!

Unbelievable bloodlust!

It's giving me the chills from my elbows to my neck!

No wonder! You're up against the Upper Six demon!

Get a hold of yourself!

Uzui's been poisoned!

I have to protect him!

Strike with your sword the instant he moves!

The second he moves even an inch!

In that instant!

Swing it! Swing your sword!

Evade it! Evade it!

Bend backward! Bendââ‚

What are you doing?

He protected you instead, and now you're a hindrance!

Tons of Belts from up above!

Huh? Three eyes?

I can see everything! All of your movements!

Now that my brother's awake,

what you're seeing now is my true power!

Shut up! Stop screeching in that damn shrill voice!

Them being your Tsuguko was a lie, right?

Your movements are so out of sync!

What a total bust!

You can't even get close to me!

Shut up, Worm Woman!

If you want to prove anything, why don't you shut your trap and see if you can k*ll us!

All right, as you wish!

You can just die!

So quick!

He really is like a praying mantis!

What's up with these slashes?

There's no way out of this!

Heavy! These slashes are so heavy!

Sidestep it! Ward off the blow!

If you take the blow head-on, it'll snap your blade in two!

If it's power versus power, the weaker side always loses!

Don't misjudge the flow of power and ward it off as you should!

The flexible Water Breathing technique is better for defense...

if it's only to ward off the blow!

My blade never would've gotten nicked!

Sound Breathing...

Fifth Form...

String Performance!

You can as*ault me with your noisy moves, but it'll do you no good!

Die! Die! You ugly toads!

It's not just the Belts!

Now we have blood blades flying toward us!

What's going on? I can't get near that Worm Woman!

Dammit!

These blood blades are big trouble!

I can feel it all over my body that just a scratch would be deadly!

Damn!

Be useful! Don't let him att*ck as much!

Find a way to win!

He's not going to hold up much longer!

It's a miracle that he can still move at all!

That shoulder wound must be really deep!

He seems to have stopped the bleeding, but it's touch and go!

That left hand tied to his hilt is the only thing keeping his sword in his grip!

All because I got poisoned!

I have to take care of this, or we'll be wiped out!

I can't breathe!

This furious att*ck is leaving me gasping!

I'm about to black out! I have to find a way...

to start Recovery Breathing!

What are those?

Kunai?

It's going to be a pain, dealing with this much of them in front of a Hashira.

What a chore! So annoying!

When there are still three fledgling Demon Slayers, too!

Well, even if they hit me, those things are no...

No.

Would they really try to pull off such a meaningless att*ck?

Blood Demon Art... Rampant Arc Rampage!

He's creating a dome with the slashes!

Hey, hey, hey!

What's going on here? He's coming at me!

There's one stuck in you!

A Kunai, piercing you, too!

That's right, he's a shinobi. Not a swordsman.

This guy's always had otherworldly senses!

What the...

My legs won't regenerate!

I knew it! They're laced with something!

This Kunai!

Probably with something extracted from wisteria!

M-My body's going numb!

Hey, not too shabby!

Starting to get into sync in such a short time! Pretty amusing!

Please!

NIN-NIN

Nin-nin!

Rengoku, how would you fight?

I might not be able to handle it like you would.

I could never be like you, either!

Rengoku!

Your sword skills are a thing of beauty!

Though you do have too many wives!

Look after Young Kamado, the yellow boy and the boar head boy for me, Uzui.

Just leave those flashy jobs to me.
