03x05 - Bright Red Sword

[bunniefuu]

You're sure it's this way?

Yes! We're almost there!

There he is.

Mr. Kanamori!

Oh! He slashed it in the blink of an eye!

Lord Tokito! Thank goodness!

Mr. Kanamori!

Young Kotetsu!

Thank goodness you're safe!

To be honest,

I thought you'd be dead by now!

Same here, Mr. Kanamori!

So, you're Kanamori?

Mr. Tokito, this is Mr. Kanamori.

Do you have a sword for me?

Give it to me now.

Oh my!

Look at this!

It's quite badly chipped!

That's why I came to the village.

I see! I see!

I do have a sword ready for you,

so let me give it to you right away!

You don't waste time, do you?

I'm happy for you!

You should be thankful!

Tanjiro asked me to take care of it.

Your sword, that is.

He also said I should be

understanding toward you.

Tanjiro?

Tanjiro said it, huh?

So, I checked up

on the first swordsmith who served you—

Mr. Kanamori! Mr. Kanamori!

We have to head to Mr. Haganezuka's!

If he's under att*ck by those demons—

Oh, that's right!

Come on, I'll show you

the way to my work shed!

EPISODE :

BRIGHT RED SWORD

I'm worried about the village!

Since you're a Hashira,

I want you to take that sword...

and go to their aid as soon as possible!

It's that shed over there!

Thank goodness!

I don't see any fish monsters!

I was working in that shed!

The sword I'm supposed to give you

is inside, too!

Please take it

and rush to where the chief is!

No, I can't.

Huh? What's that?

Ouch! You're so annoying!

It's here.

Hyo!

Huh?

I'm impressed that you noticed me!

But wait, you're a Hashira.

UPPER FIVE

-Hyo, hyo, hyo!

Is this rundown shed

that important to you?

What is it that you're being

so secretive about, I wonder.

Hyo, hyo!

Enemy att*ck!

Demons!

Enemy att*ck!

Protect the leaders of each clan!

Take out the Hashira's swords!

Help the chief get away!

Tetsugorou!

Watch out!

Those monsters' claws

are as sharp as blades!

Take cover inside the buildings for now!

No good! Get back! Get back!

Whoa! A Hashira showed up!

Sorry I'm late!

I'll take care of this right away, everyone!

Wow!

-So fast!

-So strong!

I'd forgotten because she's so cute...

but the Hashira sure are strong, huh?

The chief!

Please look after the chief!

Chief!

Ch-Ch-Chief...

Chief!

The Demon Slayer guards

who were stationed here have been k*lled.

As the most highly-skilled person

in the village, Chief...

I can't let you die!

This monster is...

way too big!

My att*cks have no effect!

And it's abnormally quick!

DESTROYER OF DEMONS

-You shouldn't move!

DESTROYER OF DEMONS

-You likely have internal injuries!

L-Lady Kanroji!

What kind of sword is that?

Did the chief...

Did Lord Tecchin forge it?

I've heard the rumors,

but how odd it looks!

Love Breathing...

First Form...

Shivers Of First Love!

My heart would never flutter for those

who needlessly hurt others!

Lord Tecchin!

Are you all right, Lord Tecchin?

Stay with me!

Lord Tecchin! Can you hear me?

Here I am in the arms of a young,

beautiful girl! I'm on cloud nine!

Oh my! Lord Tecchin! Please!

I fell on my head, too!

What?

Please hold my hand!

Oh dear, forgive me!

Are you okay?

You back off!

Wh-What a relief.

What...

What is this?

This scent?

Stop trying to flee...

like a pesky gnat!

Now I remember.

I was knocked out

by that demon with the fan!

Nezuko came to before I did!

Curses! Could they be any slower?

Karaku! Blast it away!

Right!

I was just about to do that anyway!

Think! You've got to think!

How to inflict massive damage

on the enemy!

An att*ck that they can't

recover from right away!

Damn.

UPPER FOUR

-Hey, brat...

UPPER FOUR

-Die!

It's all over for you now!

DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA

SWORDSMITH VILLAGE ARC

DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA

SWORDSMITH VILLAGE ARC

Now that's what you call a fine view!

All right...

now there's nowhere for you

to scurry around and hide!

Dammit! The rubble!

Nezuko, it's okay!

I'd never abandon you!

Let go of my sword!

I'll clear away the rubble, okay?

Nezuko! Stop it!

You're going to cut your fingers!

It certainly blew up completely.

Once this smoke clears,

it will spell their demise.

Nezuko!

Stop! You have to stop!

Hyo, hyo!

A pleasure to meet you!

My name is Gyokko.

Before I k*ll you,

might I ask for a minute of your time?

Why are you closing in on me?

Because we'd be scared on our own.

I'd be delighted to show my artwork

to my three guests tonight!

Artwork?

What are you talking about?

Now then, let me start with this piece!

Behold, "Death Throes of the Smiths"!

Please take a look!

First, those hands!

The hallmark of a swordsmith,

those thick, blister-ridden, soiled hands!

I intentionally pushed them

to the forefront!

Lord Kongouji! Mr. Tetsuo!

Mr. Hagaike!

Koutarou!

Uncle Tetsuhiro!

Yes!

You're absolutely right!

For this piece, I used five swordsmiths

to lavish, extravagant effect!

I didn't expect you

to be this moved!

Moreover, I've truly brought out

their swordsmith qualities...

by piercing them with swords!

I left these hyottoko masks on

to juxtapose emptiness and absurdity.

Needless to say,

this, too, was a deliberate choice!

And this is the best part!

Just twist the sword like so, and...

Stop it!

What do you think?

Isn't it marvelous?

I've reproduced their death throes!

Hey.

You'd better knock it off...

you piece of crap.

Hyo!

I'm not done describing my artwork!

Kindly hear me out to the end.

It can teleport from one vase to another.

I see.

What I especially take pride in

is the vase's—

I can barely feel it.

It got away again.

It can move fast.

Now it's over there.

Those vases pop up out of nowhere.

You have a lot of gall, slashing it!

My vase!

My art!

You have no eye for beauty,

you damn ape!

How are those vases spawned?

You bastards with muscles

where your brains should be...

Clearly, you lack the ability

to appreciate my artwork!

Which, in a way, is fine!

No...

but since it's so intent on fleeing,

then unlike that clone demon...

beheading this one will k*ll it.

Thousand Needle Fish k*ll!

Mr. Tokito!

Young Kotetsu!

Lord Tokito!

You're getting in the way, so go hide.

I'm sorry!

I... I...

Hyo, hyo, hyo!

Look at you, riddled with needles...

A comical sight, indeed!

How do you like it?

The poison must slowly be numbing

your limbs, right?

So very comical!

You saved some worthless lives...

and now you're going to die

in a worthless place.

So worthless, it doesn't matter

whether they exist or not.

Because your lives are worthless!

Who's that?

I can't remember.

I think someone said

the same thing to me years ago.

Who was it?

It was summer. It was hot.

We'd left the door open.

I guess because it was too hot,

the cicadas were buzzing really loud.

Hyo, hyo!

Still, you are a Hashira,

even looking like that.

What kind of artwork should I produce?

Oh, I'm giddy!

DESTROY

Shut up.

It's all your talk that's worthless.

Blood Demon Art...

Water Prison Pot!

Death by suffocation is rather stylish.

Beautiful!

And that chilling feeling of a blade

pressed against your neck...

Now that's simply sublime!

It's no good. I can't slash it.

I just stopped a Demon Slayer's

greatest w*apon. His breathing.

I can barely contain myself,

just imagining your face twisted in agony!

Hyo, hyo!

Obliterating this village will be

a devastating blow to you Demon Slayers.

Once we've brought

the Demon Slayers to their knees,

even Ubuyashiki's head

will be within reach!

Nezuko!

Please let go of my sword! Nezuko!

The sword's ablaze with Nezuko's blood!

The sword's changing color!

The temperature's rising,

and my black sword is turning red!

Enveloped in exploding blood!

This is...

Exploding Blood Sword!

So, it turns red, right?

A samurai's sword turns red

only during battle, right?

What's this?

Why is that?

So mysterious!

Even though normally,

it's pitch-black like obsidian...

Who is that?

It's so beautiful, isn't it?

Who are you?

Oh, right.

This is an inherited memory.

The samurai she's talking about...

Could it be that swordsman

with the earrings?

Was that swordsman's sword pitch-black?

I've got a black sword just like his.

And my own sword just turned red, too!

It changed color!

This sword turned red

thanks to the power of Nezuko's blood, so...

even if it was through a different method

than that swordsman's,

right now, my sword is just like his.

You may think you've gotten stronger, but

there are always even more powerful demons!

I'm only flesh and blood,

so my body is scarred and battered...

but...

every time, someone comes to my aid!

They keep me alive!

I have to meet their expectations!

Everyone who's helped me out

has just one wish...

just one desire!

To defeat the demons!

To protect human lives!

I have to come through for them!

Even if you resort to cheap tricks,

you can't b*at me.

You can slash me,

but I won't feel a thing!

A burning blade.

Raging Sword.

Lord Muzan's memories.

The sword of the swordsman

who drove Lord Muzan into a corner...

and nearly beheaded him!

I see that swordsman in him.

Hinokami Kagura...

Sun Halo Dragon...

Head Dance!

I've been thinking about...

that one blow all this time.

The reason why I was able to cut off

Gyutaro's head with that blow.

How I felt in that moment, my breathing...

the way I exerted myself.

The way my whole body felt

like it was on fire...

and my forehead!

Now I know.

I can do it now!

Just one more!

I need to slash all four at once!

Where's the last one?

Genya! So you're okay!

He beheaded the fourth demon!

That's great! That's great!

Was it simultaneous?

If it was at the same time...

Genya—

Is that Genya?

Why... does he look like that?

It's like...

It's like...

PART

How do you sheathe that sword?

How?

Poison potato!

I'm just kidding! I'm kidding!

Wow! That's amazing!

What, you really think

it's that amazing?

It sure is!

That's our Ms. Kanroji, all right!

You sure about that?

Then, maybe I'll show it to you

just one more time!

That was amazing, Ms. Kanroji!

You think so?

Then, why don't I show you again

just one more time?

Now, I'm only doing this for you, Tanjiro!

Wait, first things first!

Next, Episode ,

"Aren't You Going to Become A Hashira?"

-There! There! There!

-Wow, amazing!
