01x05 - My Own Steel

[bunniefuu]

That mask is a mark.

I've gobbled up every single person
that wore that kind of mask.

Total Concentration Breathing.

Breath of Water.

First Form...

Water Surface Slash!

Urokodaki.

Damn it!

My body is starting to disintegrate.

I can't stop it.

Damn it.

The last thing I saw
was the face of a demon slayer.

Why did this happen?

I'm so scared.

I'm scared of being alone at night.

Brother, where are you?

Hold my hand now.

Just like how you always do.

Why?

Why did I k*ll my brother?

That's odd.

Who is "brother"?

The smell of sadness.

God, I beg you.

When this person is reborn,

I hope you won't let him become a demon.

Brother!

Brother!

Can you hold my hand?

You're hopeless.

You're always so timid.

Sabito.

Makomo.

And the other children who were m*rder*d.

I won.

Please rest in peace.

You can fulfill your promise to go home.

Although you're only left with your soul,

go back to Sagiri Mountain.

Go back to your beloved Master Urokodaki.

If I die, my soul will return too.

I have a question for you.

What should I do to turn a demon back
into a human form?

Tell me

the way

to turn Nezuko back into human.

Wisteria.

I survived.

Only four people left.

There were 20 people at first.

That guy didn't make it too.

It was because I fainted back then.

I didn't manage to save him.

I'm going to die.

Even if I'm alive now, I'll still die.

-Welcome back, everyone.
-Welcome back, everyone.

Congratulations, everyone.

Thank goodness, you're all fine.

What should I do next?

Where's the sword?

First of all, please accept
the distribution of uniforms.

We'll take your body measurement.

After that, the rank will be engraved.

There's a total of ten ranks.

Kinoe.

Kinoto.

Hinoe.

Hinoto.

Tsuchinoe.

Tsuchinoto.

Kanoe.

Kanoto.

Mizunoe.

Mizunoto.

Everyone is currently
in the lowest rank, Mizunoto.

Where's the sword?

For the steel to be used in sword making,

please choose an ore today.

The sword-making process
will take 10 to 15 days to complete.

What?

Before we begin...

A Kasugai Crow
will follow you from now on.

Kasugai Crow?

Kasugai Crow is a crow
primarily used for communication.

Crow?

Isn't this a sparrow?

Are you kidding me?

I don't care about the crow!

The sword, I want it.

Give me the sword now.

I want Demon Slayer Corps' sword.

The color-changing sword!

Let go of the child now.

If you don't, I'll break your arm.

Who the hell are you?

What should we do?

Do it if you have the guts.

Are you done talking?

Please choose an ore, everyone.

The steel of the sword

is used to k*ll demons
and protect yourself.

Please choose, everyone.

I'll probably die immediately.

Even if I were to choose,

I don't know which one I should choose.

It's my first time seeing ores.

I can't make a judgment
from their exterior.

I have no idea which one is better.

I see.

There were five survivors.

How excellent.

Our children have grown
in numbers yet again.

I wonder what kind of swordsmen
they will become.

I was too naive.

It didn't matter whether the demon
could communicate or not.

All they wanted was to k*ll me.

I'm sorry, Nezuko.

I couldn't find the way

to turn you back into human.

I feel so heavy with the given uniform.

I wanted to go home earlier,

but my whole body hurts.

I'm finally here.

Nezuko, Master Urokodaki.

Nezuko!

You're awake!

Nezuko.

It hurts.

Why did you suddenly fall asleep?

Plus, you never wake up after that.

I thought you were dead!

Thank goodness, you came back alive.

I see. You k*lled the morphed demon.

Yes.

Finally.

It's so great that you came home alive.

Yes.

There are several types of demons.

There are demons who can use a type
of special spells, Blood Demon Arts.

Those are the so-called caster demons.

You will probably fight
against those demons later.

Fighting against them will be harder
than what you have experienced.

But Tanjiro,

you'll definitely be fine.

Yes.

Well,

I think Nezuko is different
from the other demons.

Is she the spell-casting type
that you said?

No, I don't think so.

I don't think she's a demon
who practices Blood Demon Arts.

This is just my guess.

Nezuko uses sleep to compensate

for not consuming human flesh.

Maybe she's using this method
to regain energy.

I'll protect Nezuko.

FIFTEEN DAYS LATER

You are...

I'm Haganezuka.

Tanjiro Kamado's sword is ready.

I came here to deliver it.

Well, I'm Tanjiro Kamado.

Please come in.

This is a Nichirin blade.

I forged this sword.

Well...

I'll make tea now. Please come in--

The raw materials of a Nichirin blade

are mined from the mountain
nearest to the sun.

Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand
and Scarlet Crimson Ore.

Thus, the forged steel
can absorb sunlight.

I see.

Because Sunlight Mountain is perpetually
bathed in sunlight throughout the year.

-It doesn't rain or snow on the mountain.
-As always...

-It's dirty. Can you stand up first?
-This guy never listens.

Hyottoko mask.

Aren't you the son of Kakushaku?

This is really a sign of good fortune.

No.

I'm the son of Tanjuro and Kie.

That's not what I meant.

I mean you have red hair and eyes.

If a family business relates to fire
and a child like you was born,

it's an auspicious sign
that deserves celebration.

Is that so?

I didn't know that.

At this rate, this sword
will most likely turn bright red.

Am I right, Urokodaki?

Yes.

All right. Unsheathe the sword.

Nichirin blade is also known
as the color-changing sword.

The sword will change its color
depending on the owner.

It's black!

Black.

Is there something wrong
with a black sword?

Does it signify misfortune?

No, there's no such thing.

It's uncommon to see
such a pitch-black sword.

I thought I could see a bright red sword!

I'm pissed!

It hurts.

This is dangerous.

Please calm down!

How old are you this year?

I'm 37 years old.

Tanjiro Kamado.

Listen to your mission.

It's talking.

Make haste to the northwestern town.

Young girls have been vanishing there.

Every night,

young girls disappear.

Find the demon hidden within
and put an end to it.

Tanjiro Kamado.

Exercise caution.

This will be your first mission
as a demon slayer.

First mission.

Kasugai Crow, say hello to everyone.

You don't have a right to order me around.

-It hurts!
-Darn you, kid.

My goodness.

Here's a little gossip
from the Taisho era.

Cut the crap! Do your mission now.

Move it!

I know.

Next, episode 6,
"Swordsman Accompanying a Demon."

Listen carefully!

If you don't watch next week's premiere,
I'll peck your head into a pulp.
