Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (鬼滅の刃)

Boy: How?

How in the world could something like this happen?

Come on, Nezuko!

I've got you! Don't die on me!

No matter what it takes, I'll save you!

I won't let you die.

I promise I'll save you.

Your big brother's got you!

Woman: Tanjiro.

Your face is all covered in soot.

Let me clean you up.

You know, you really don't have to go.

All this snow could be dangerous.

Tanjiro: I want US to have a good new year's celebration

where everyone can eat as much as they want,

so I'll sell all the charcoal I can.

How thoughtful.

Boy: Hey, bro!

Are you going to town again today?

Girl: I'm coming with you!

Woman: No, you're not.

You know you can't walk as fast as Tanjiro can, sweetie.

- Boy: Aw, come on, mom! - Mother: No way.

He's not going to be able to use the cart today,

which means he can't give you a ride when you get tired.

Boy: Tanjiro!

Girl: I wanna come with you.

I promise I'll help out.

Tanjiro: That's very generous of you, Hanako.

- ( Hanako gasps ) - Tanjiro: But no.

You're staying home today.

Tanjiro: Sorry, Shigeru. You are, too.

But I'll bring back goodies, okay?

Shigeru: Promise?

- Tanjiro: Yeah. - ( Shigeru laughs )

Tanjiro: And, Hanako,

I'll read for you when I get home later.

Hanako: 'Kay!

Tanjiro: Good girl.

Mother: Thank you for doing this, Tanjiro.

Tanjiro: 'Course.

Time for me to head out.

Hey, takeo, do me a favor while I'm gone, okay?

Chop as much wood as you can.

Takeo: Yeah, I was already gonna do that anyway.

But I was kinda hoping we'd do that together this time. Hmph.

Tanjiro: There, there, now.

Takeo: Knock it off, would you?!

You're blushing, take!

Takeo: Shut up, you brat!

Tanjiro: There, there, now.

Takeo: I told you to cut it out! ( Groans )

Shigeru: Come back as soon as you can, okay?

Hanako: Be safe, and see you when you get back!

Nezuko: Hi, Tanjiro.

Tanjiro: Hey, Nezuko.

Nezuko: I had to put rokuta down for a nap now.

Otherwise, he would throw a fit.

Ever since dad passed, he's been glued to your side.

In fact, everyone seems to follow you wherever you go.

I'll see you when you get back!

Tanjiro: We don't exactly have an easy life, but we're happy.

Life can change, though,

as sudden as the weather.

It shifts and moves on.

The sun can't shine forever,

and the snow has to stop at some point.

But whatever happens, when happiness is destroyed,

it's always followed by the smell of blood.

Ah, Tanjiro!

You came down the mountain on a day like today?

Don't you ever stop working? You could catch a cold.

Tanjiro: It's not as bad as you think.

You need a refill on charcoal, by any chance?

- Man: Hey, Tanjiro! - Tanjiro: Eh?

Man: I'll take some more!

Man 2: I'm good, but thanks

for fixing my sliding doors the other day.

Woman 2: I need some charcoal, too!

- ( Rumbling ) - ( Tanjiro chuckles )

Tanjiro!

- ( Woman 3 growls ) - Boy: I'm so glad you're here!

I've been accused of breaking this plate!

Can you help me out here?

Give it a sniff!

It smells like a cat to me.

Boy: You see?

Woman 3: So it really was a cat.

Boy: I tried to tell you I didn't do it!

Man 3: Hey there, Tanjiro! I don't suppose

you could give me a hand with this luggage, could you?

Tanjiro: How'd it get so late?

Oh, well. At least I sold out.

- Man: Hang on! Tanjiro! - Tanjiro: Eh?

Man: You're not going back up the mountain now.

It's simply too dangerous.

Tanjiro: Oh, I'll be fine. I've got a good nose.

Man: You can stay here for the night.

Come on. Get inside.

Tanjiro: No, I'm...

Man: Don't argue. Just get in here...

Before the demons show up.

Tanjiro: Thanks for dinner.

Hey, uh, Mr. Saburo, what did you mean by "demons"?

Saburo: There have always been man-eating demons

prowling about after dark.

That's why it's not safe to go outside at night.

Time for bed.

You can set off for home at first light.

Tanjiro: These demons,

they're not able to come inside your house, are they?

Saburo: Yes, they could come in.

Tanjiro: But, then, wouldn't they just eat everyone?

Saburo: The Demon slayers protect US

by killing as many as they can.

They always have.

Now go to sleep.

It's lights out.

Tanjiro: Old man saburo,

he's been on his own since he lost his family.

He must be lonely.

I'll bring my brothers and sisters by.

You don't have to be scared.

There are no demons. You're safe.

Although, now that I think of it,

my grandma used to say the same thing

before she passed away.

Saburo: You be careful now.

Tanjiro: Thank you!

Tanjiro: Whenever happiness is destroyed...

It's always followed...

Eh?

The smell of blood.

Nezuko!

What happened?! What's going on here?!

What happened to you?!

Mom?

Mom. Hanako.

Takeo. Shigeru.

Nezuko. Rokuta.

- ( Panting ) - ( Footsteps crunching )

Nezuko's the only one who's still warm.

If I can get her to a doctor, she might live.

How could something like this happen?

Maybe a bear...

That couldn't find a place to hibernate?

I can't breathe!

The air is icy! My lungs hurt!

Just keep moving!

Move those legs of yours faster!

We've still got a long way to go to get to town. Hurry!

I won't let you die.

No matter what it takes,

your big brother will save you!

Oh, no!

The snow saved me...

But the snow is the only reason I fell.

Nezuko?

Nezuko, are you okay?

You don't have to walk!

Let me carry you to town, all right?

Nezuko!

Sh-she's...

A Demon!

This is what old man saburo tried to tell me about.

She's a man-eating Demon?

Impossible! Nezuko's a human

since the day she was born!

Except she doesn't have Nezuko's scent anymore.

But she isn't the one who killed them.

She was lying on top of rokuta like she was protecting him,

and her hands and mouth weren't covered in blood,

but there was one more. There was another scent!

- ( Gasps ) - ( Flesh creaking )

- How are you getting bigger?! - ( Nezuko growling )

Tanjiro: And she's getting stronger, too!

While I was sleeping like a baby at saburo's,
