Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (鬼滅の刃)

Oh.

You've got to be kidding. What kind of battle do you have to

wage to end up like this?

No. Is that everyone? I found .. Them. They're over here.

Pastor Kaguya.. 100 years. It took

100 years for something to finally change.

And it actually happened. Don't you see? This must be an omen.

Fate is about to take a dramatic turn for us.

The effects will be widespread. Everything will be shaken to its core.

And eventually he will feel it as well.

Wasn't he? Bouzouki? We will defeat you.

Our generation will put an end to you without fail.

And then you, the sole blemish of my family will be gone.

The alternate dimension. The infinity castle. The fact

I was summoned here can..

Only mean one thing. They managed to kill an upper rank.

And.

Well, well, well, if it isn't Lord Archer, sir.

How lovely it is to see you in such good health.

What has it been 90 years since I last saw your face?

When I was summoned here, I thought

for a second you might have perished.

And my heart began to sing.

My poor, worried heart was filled with

anguish at the thought of it.

How terrifying. Terrifying. It appears that in the time we've been apart,

you've even forgotten so much as how to count. Kyoko.

It's been 113 years since we were last summoned.

That's an indivisible number, an uneven number. And it's odd. Terrifying, terrifying.

Biwa a woman as Lord Mouzon arrived yet or not.

Can say with certainty he has not.

Then what about Upper One? Is he here?

Don't tell me it was him who

somehow got killed. Whoa whoa whoa.

You're beginning to hurt my feelings here, Lord Akaza.

Weren't you even a little concerned about me?

Here I was worried sick. Something might have happened to you.

After all, you're a cherished comrade of mine.

And I'd be heartbroken if I lost any of my comrades.

Greetings, Lord.

Hi, Kyoko. Long time no see.

Is that a brand new pot? It's beautiful.

Remember the one you gave me? I'm

using it to display a woman's head. Fits perfectly.

I never intended for it to be used like that.

Though I must say, I'm intrigued.

You'd love it. You should come to my place sometime.

Get it off. Get your hand off of me.

Oh.

Wow, that was quite a punch.

Unless I'm mistaken, you've gotten slightly stronger.

You asked about Upper One earlier. He's the first one I summoned.

In fact, he's been here all along.

I've been here the entire time.

It seems Lord Mouzon has arrived.

Guitarro is no longer with us, meaning

the upper ranks are now incomplete.

Oh, is that true, my lord? No. You have my sincerest apologies.

Since I was the one who brought Yutaro in,

how can I atone for this embarrassment? Let's see.

I can gouge an eye out. Or maybe keep..

Your wretched eyeballs. I have no need for them.

I knew that Jutaro would be defeated.

As expected, Daiki proved to be his weakness.

Had he just fought alone from the start,

he most assuredly would have won

if the battle hadn't gone on after he'd poisoned them.

Oh, well, none of it matters anymore.

How worthless. Can't you see you're falling

in order of who has the most of their humanity remaining?

But I guess that's fine. It's nothing new.

I've come to learn that I should expect nothing from you.

You're saying such tragic things again. But think about it.

Really? Has there ever been a time

I didn't meet your expectations, my lord?

For starters, you have yet to annihilate the Ohbayashi family.

And whatever became of the blue spider lily.

Centuries have passed and you have nothing to show for it.

Answer me this. Why do you exist

if your sole purpose has become.. To disappoint me?

Forgive us. I beg of you. I beg of you.

I have nothing to say in response.

However, Ohbayashi is a master at evading us.

I'm afraid detective work isn't my strong point either.

I'm at my wits end here.

Pardon me, Lord Mouzon, but I have something for you.

You see, I've acquired some juicy information

that I think will interest you.

Information that can change everything. Just a mere moment ago.

Have I ever told you lot how much I detest change?

Changes in circumstance. The changes of flesh changes in one's emotions.

Most changes cause only weakness and inferiority.

And I am not weak. What I'm interested in is permanence.

To forever remain in perfect condition, immune to the disease of change.

Oh to have none other than Lord

son's hand touching my head. How splendid! How sublime.

For the first time in over a century,

an upper rank has been killed.

My frustration has reached its boiling point.

Don't ever give me unconfirmed information and wipe

that smirk off of your face.

I'd advise you all to act with more urgency from here on out.

I suppose you're not entirely at fault for your inadequacy.

I've been too lenient with you because your upper ranks.

Kyoko. Once you've confirmed that information to be true,

you are to head over there with Han Tingcou at once.

Yes. Understood. My lord.

Two. That's hardly fair. I'm the one who got the information

in the first place. How annoying is that?

But that's what makes it intriguing. Oh.

Lord. Kyoko. What kind of information do you

have? I like to tag along.

But that wouldn't be.

You can tell little old me. I won't tell anyone.

The. I don't remember hearing Lord Mouzon

give you orders back there. Get lost.

Huzzah!

You always go too far.

It's all right. Lord Shiva.

I don't mind in the slightest.

It's not for your benefit that I chose to speak.

He disrupts the hierarchy, which in turn

gives heed to insubordination among the ranks. It's unacceptable.

Oh I see. Arkansas. If you're unsatisfied with the rhymes,

then why not back up your words

and challenge him to a battle?

Come on, cut him some slack. He's just messing around.

You know as well as I do.

If he were to challenge us, he'd only embarrass himself.

Look, he's just angsty, that's all. Probably

because I became a demon after him

and still got promoted before him.

I'd be upset, too, if I were in his shoes.

Don't be so hard on him.

And, I mean, besides, I didn't dodge his attack on purpose.

It's harmless horseplay. This is just our

little way of nurturing our friendship.

Those of us on top shouldn't be giving

our subordinates a hard time, don't you think? Ka-Zar.

From here on out, you are to show some respect.

Do you understand?

Oh I understand.

I understand. I'm going to kill you

if it's the last thing I do.

Is that so? Then I wish you the best.

See you around, Lord Shiva. Bye bye.

I don't know how, but I feel

like I got shot out of that entire conversation.

Oh, but that's okay. I'm used to it. Oh!

Wait! Lord. Alcazar.

Hey, I wasn't done talking.

Please send her Tengku and myself to

the same location as fast as possible.

Be well. Lady. Send me to.

Hello. I know you can hear me.

You're free to join me down here if you want.

I respectfully decline.

Oh, you guys are always so cool to me.

Lord founder. Your disciples have just arrived.

Oh, is that right? Well, let's not keep them waiting.

All right. I just need to put this on and I'll be ready.

That's much better. You can send them in now.

I brought you some tea. Right. Thank you.

Uh huh. He's sound asleep. Thanks for watching him.

My wife's fast asleep in the other room.

I really must apologize. I feel bad making our guest babysit.

No. It's fine. She must be exhausted.

Giving birth and raising a child is no easy task.

I will be leaving after this. I don't

want to overstay my welcome. That's all.

Please, sir. You saved our lives that day.

If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't be here.

Nor would this child have been born.

Very well, then the least I can do is pass

down your name for posterity. There's no need.

But, sir, didn't you say you were

at a loss because you had no heirs?

Look, I know I'm just a charcoal

merchant, but it's better than nothing.

Thank you. Sumiyoshi. But there's no need.

Those who have mastered their skill share the same fate.

They always have. They wind up in the same place

no matter what era they find themselves in.

And if lost, they'll find their way back.

Sumiyoshi. You seem to think of me

as some kind of extraordinary person. But I'm really not.

I failed to protect everything that was important to me,

and throughout my life, I was unable

to accomplish any of my goals.

My name is as worthless as I am.

Please, sir. Don't say something like that.

Please, I'm begging you. Don't talk about yourself that way.

It's so sad. So sad.

It was a dream.

Am I? Alive.

Are you okay? You've been out for

two months. Ever since your last battle.

Really? Two months. I see.

Thank goodness. We were so worried.

My name is Gotoh and I'm a Kakashi.
