Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (鬼滅の刃)

HOW?

How did this happen?

Nezuko, don't die! Don't die on me!

I'm gonna save you no matter what!

I won't let you die!

I swear your big brother will save you no matter what!

Tanjiro?

Your face is covered in soot.

Come over here.

It's dangerous with all this snow. You don't have to go, you know.

Well, I want everyone to eat their fill on New Year's,

so I'm going to sell as much charcoal as I can.

Thank you.

Big Bro!

You're going to town again today?

Tm suing with you'.!

Oh no, you're not.

You know you can't walk fast like Tanjiro.

Mfin]!

You may not.

Since he can't use the cart today,

he won't be able to give you a ride when you're tired.

Big Bro!

I wanna go with you!

I promise I'll help you!

Thanks, Hanako.

But you're staying home today.

You, too, Shigeru. But I'll get you tons of goodies, okay?

Really?

Yeah.

And, Hanako, I'll read for you when I'm back.

Okay!

That's a good girl.

Thank you so much, Tanjiro.

Sure.

Okay, I'll be heading out now.

Takeo...

Will you chop as much wood as you can?

Sure, I'll do it, but...

I was hoping we could do it together.

There, there.

What's with that all of a sudden?

You're blushing, Take!

Hey, you shut up!

There, there.

I said cut it out!

Hurry back, okay?

Be safe, okay?

Big Brother!

Hey, Nezuko.

I was putting Rokuta down for a nap, or he'd make a scene when you leave.

He misses Dad a lot since he passed away.

And everyone follows you wherever you go.

See you later!

We don't have an easy life,

but we're happy-

But life could change suddenly like the weather.

It shifts and moves on.

It's not like it always stays sunny,

and it's not like it ever snows endlessly.

And...

whenever happiness is destroyed,

there's always...

the smell of blood.

Well now, Tanjiro!

I can't believe you came down from the mountain on a day like this!

You're such a hard worker! You might catch a cold, you know!

This is nothing, really.

Do you have enough charcoal?

Hey, Tanjiro!

Can I have some charcoal?

Thanks for fixing my sliding doors the other day.

I'll need some charcoal, too!

Tanjiro!

Oh man, perfect timing!

I've been accused of breaking this plate!

Help me out, will you?

Sniff it!

I smell a cat.

You see?

Oh my, so it was a cat?

I told you it wasn't me!

Tanjiro!

Can you give me a hand with this luggage?

Oh man, it's late already.

I'm glad they're sold out, though.

Hey, Tanjiro!

Are you going to head back up the mountain?

You'd better not. It's too dangerous.

I've got a good nose, so I'll be fine.

You can stay here for the night.

Come on. Get back here.

But...

Don't argue! Come on!

Before the demons show up.

Thanks for the meal!

Hey, Mr. Saburo,

what are demons like?

Man-eating demons have always prowled the land once it gets dark.

That's why you should never stroll around at night.

If you're done eating, go to bed. You can set off for home at first light.

Could these demons come inside your house?

Yes, they could.

Then, everyone would get eaten up by the demons.

That's why the Demon Slayers protect us by slaying them...

since way back when.

Lights out now.

Go to sleep.

Old man Saburo is all alone after losing his whole family.

So, he must be lonely.

I'll bring my brothers and sisters next time,

so you don't have to be scared. There are no demons. You're safe.

But, come to think of it,

my grandma used to say the same thing when she was still alive.

You be careful now.

Okay!

Whenever happiness is destroyed,

there's always...

The smell of blood!

Nezuko!

What happened? What's going on?

What happened here?

Mom...

Mom...

Hanako...

Takeo...

Shigeru...

Nezuko...

Rokuta...

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

If I can get her to a doctor, she might survive!

How did this happen?

Was it a bear?

Was it a bear that wasn't able to hibernate?

I can't breathe!

The air's so icy! My lungs hurt!

Keep moving forward!

Move your legs faster!

We still have a long way to go before we reach town.

Hurry!

I won't let you die!

I'm gonna save you no matter what!

I swear your big brother will save you no matter what!

Oh no!

I was saved by the snow.

But the snow is also why I slipped.

Nezuko?

Nezuko, are you all right?

You don't have to walk!

I'll carry you to town, okay?

Nezuko!

Sh-She's. ..

A demon!

I just remembered what old man Saburo told me.

Nezuko's a man-eating demon?

No! Nezuko's a human ever since she was born!

Except, she no longer has Nezuko's scent.

But it wasn't Nezuko's doing!

She was lying as if she was protecting Rokuta,

and there was no blood on her mouth or hands.
