Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (鬼滅の刃)

What the hell is this?

- A worn-down castle from the Restoration period.

Must have been abandoned or forgotten

because the location is inconvenient.

Or so I assume.

What a sick joke.

Those demon bastards are living it up like lords in that thing.

- And you're certain that someone

from the village was taken here? There is no doubt?

Yes. You have my word.

We tracked her up to the castle's tower,

but found nothing.

- She couldn't have vanished into thin air, idiot!

How could you let them ditch you?

I'm truly sorry!

- So this means another woman has disappeared in 24 hours.

- Despite the Demon Slayer Corps being on the alert,

they still got us.

- No one's expecting anything from you chumps.

Hmm. Lucky for us...

we may not have gotten here too late after all.

Bastard!

Huh?

I had a feeling

that I should have disposed of them last night.

- -

Take that!

- You two head back to the village.

From here on, just the Wind Hashira and I will proceed.

But, sir...

- The two of you will be a hindrance.

Now get out of my sight.

- Shinazugawa, something isn't right about this place.

- No kidding. I don't like this, either.

I've never seen so many demons swarming around like this.

- Help me! - Hmm?

Wind Breathing Second Form...

...Claws-Purifying Wind!

Serpent Breathing Fifth Form...

...Slithering Serpent.

That was close, huh?

I didn't ask for your help!

Eh?

- - So powerful.

They're not just any Demon Slayers.

- Are they Hashira? - Help me!

Hey, bastard!

I'm taking her back, along with your rottin' head!

- - Step aside!

There's no end in sight to these scum.

Just what are you, cockroaches?!

Enough!

- -

- -

There's more?

Where the hell are all these things coming from, anyway?

- Focus on saving the woman. Leave this to me.

I can handle them on my own.

I was getting bored, anyway.

I leave the rest to you.

- Serpent Breathing Third Form...

...Coil Choke.

- You know, even with your friends,

you're still not gonna win.

Save us some time, and die.

Wind Breathing Fourth Form...

...Rising Dust Storm.

Really, now,

if you want her back that badly...

Stop it! What are you doing?

...then take her!

What is this?

- - Get back here!

You bastard!

What the hell is going on?

- Hey, Shinazugawa, what was that just now?

And where did those demons vanish to?

Hell if I know.

- You sure I can drop you off at the crossroads ahead?

Ms. Kanao!

Thank you for all your hard work!

- Welcome back! - Welcome back!

- Master. I've returned from my mission.

The incident at the Swordsmith Village

is as I described the other day.

Mr. Tokito, Ms. Kanroji, also Kamado and a few others

were able to defeat two Upper Ranks in one night.

Not only that,

but Ms. Nezuko appears to have conquered the sun.

- - Meaning...

major developments are just on the horizon for us.

Yes.

- It's more than likely that Muzan Kibutsuji

is planning to send his demons to abduct Ms. Nezuko.

He wants nothing more than to take possession

of the demon who's conquered the sun.

I'll be leaving soon.

An emergency Hashira meeting has been issued by our master,

so I'll be heading to the Ubuyashiki Mansion.

While I'm gone, I have a favor to ask.

Can you take care of Ms. Nezuko?

Huh?

I'm counting on you.

Oh, I see.

So they're moving already.

Then is everyone in the village all right?

- I don't know enough to say for sure,

but they're worried more demons might come at night,

so they've been working to get the place restored and moved.

That makes sense.

- It's a miracle that it wasn't worse,

seeing as two Upper Ranks showed up.

And they were both such unbelievable opponents.

The Demon Slayer Corps have a few

so-called "empty villages" built for such occasions,

to move right away if anything happened.

Really?

It just goes to show you

how farsighted the Master and the others are.

Are you sure you should be gorging yourself like that

after being unconscious for seven days?

- Sure! After all, Ms. Kanroji always eats plenty!

If you ask me,

that one's actually something of an outlier.

Tasty!

- It only took three days for Ms. Love

and Mr. Mist to fully recover, right?

That's right! They're amazing!

- So you're inching closer to their level,

little by little.

Well, if it means you'll get well faster,

I guess that's fine.

Yup!

- It's a miracle everyone survived.

Yes!

- Oh, I've been dying to ask you this!

I heard something wild happened to your sister.

Will she be okay?

Uh, yes.

She's been strolling around outside

while the sun is out, hasn't she?

Isn't that a big deal?

Like a really big deal?

- We're having someone look into it further, but still...

we're not sure if she's more human now

or just evolving as a demon.

- Is it Lady Kocho who's looking into that?

Nope, Ms. Tamayo!

Who is Ms. Tamayo?

- -

Aw, I told you not to stuff your face like that.

You're still recovering. show some restraint!
