Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 25 - Tsuguko, Kanao Tsuyuri - full transcript

Tanjiro, who's undergoing rehabilitation training at the Butterfly Mansion, works hard to keep up his Total Concentration Breathing techniques all day long. Though at first, he's helpless ...

Naho, Kiyo, Sumi.

I hope you girls can help me
with my training.

When I'm asleep, if I stop using
Total Concentration Breathing,

can you girls hit me
with these carpet beaters?

I'm begging you.

-Sure, no problem.
-Sure, no problem.

Thank you.

All right, he's fine.

Tanjiro is trying really hard.

Yes!

I'm really useless.

Please help me once more.

-Sure!
-Sure!

Please!

-Good luck!
-Good luck!

I'll succeed this time.

One more time, please!

Are you still the only one here again?

I'm sorry.

I asked them, but...

I don't mind though.

I'll talk to them again later.

Training under the state
of Total Concentration Breathing.

My body has almost gotten used to it.

If I don't push myself harder,

I won't be able to maintain
Total Concentration Breathing all day.

I understand the longer I can maintain
Total Concentration Breathing,

the more my basic physical abilities
will improve!

-You can do it!
-You can do it!

I caught up with her.

I can catch up with her.

I can keep up with her!

That hurts.

Thank you, everyone!

Zenitsu, Inosuke!

I don't care about them anymore.

-You can do it!
-You can do it!

I broke it!

After that, please blow
into this big gourd and break it.

All right.

I did it!

-Amazing.
-I'm almost there.

Thank you, girls!

This is bad.

Tanjiro already went for training.

The sun just came up though.

I am afraid of hard work.

Doing things step by step
is the most tiring thing.

It's you.

Are you worried
because I'm falling behind Tanjiro?

Even if he teaches me slowly,
I still can't remember it.

I think we're really lousy.

Did you say the same thing just now?

Even so, you've gone too far.

"You're trying your best too."

Shouldn't you at least say that to me?

Did you say, "You should work harder"?

It can't be helped then.

It tastes horrible.

Let's go, Monitsu.

What Tanjiro plans to learn

is the technique called
Constant Total Concentration Breathing.

By using Total Concentration Breathing
for the entire day,

your basic physical abilities
will increase drastically.

Let's give it a try now.

No way!

It's impossible!

If I don't push myself harder,

I also can't maintain
Total Concentration Breathing all day.

You two will be fine.

Expand your lungs like this.

When your blood flow is disrupted,
your bones and muscles will clack.

At that moment, maintain it.

After that, it's consistent training.

My goodness.

This is the basic technique.
It's the very first step of the skill.

Learning should be
the second nature to you.

You still need to put in
a lot of effort to master it.

Since learning is second nature to you,

I think Inosuke will master it easily.

Can you do it?

Learning is second nature to you though.

If you can't learn it, then it's fine.

It'd be a shame though.

What?

I'll master it!

Of course I can! Don't look down on me!

Watch out, I'll rip your chest out!

Please do your best, Zenitsu!

I'll cheer for you more than anyone else.

Yes!

Kanao, you got selected with them too.
Why don't you join them?

Keep going! Try harder!

You coward!

You're doing great, Zenitsu!

HEADS

It hurts.

I was so hungry.

Sad days.

Hollow days.

Painful days.

Lonely days.

Those were the days I lived day to day.

Until one day,

a sound rang.

I no longer feel awful.

I won't feel awful again.

Living in poverty,

even when my parents sold me off,
I didn't feel sad.

Excuse me. Can I trouble you for a moment?

Why did you tie this child up?

Is she a criminal or something?

Isn't it obvious to you?

She's so dirty and covered in fleas.

Plus, she might run away.

Nice to meet you.
How are you feeling today?

I'm Kanae Kocho.

What's your name?

This brat doesn't have a name.

Her parents didn't even name her.

Are you done yet?

Move aside.

Please don't touch my older sister.

What did you say, girl?

If you want to talk to this brat, pay up.

Well, I'll buy this child then.

Is this enough?

Don't run away!

You'd better pick up the money now.

There are many people here
and the wind is strong.

Will this be okay?

It's fine.

I'm really sorry.

Don't touch it! It's mine!

My goodness.

Kanae!

Kanae! This child is hopeless.

She won't do anything
unless we told her to.

That includes eating too.

If we don't tell her to eat,
she won't eat at all.

She'd rather starve
until her stomach growls.

My goodness.

If she's like that, what should we do?

Hey, don't get angry.

I really love your smile.

But a child who can't think
and act on her own won't cut it.

It's dangerous.

Well, you're right.

She can't do anything on her own.

She also can't make decisions.

Well, when you're alone,
flip this coin to make a decision.

Do you understand, Kanao?

Kanae!

Don't think too much about it.

Kanao is a super cute child!

That doesn't make sense!

When the time comes,
she will open her heart naturally.

Don't worry.

If she meets a boy she likes one day,

Kanao will probably change.

Great, that's the way!

That's the way!

Heave-ho!

You can do it, Zenitsu!

Keep going! You're doing great.

Inosuke!

Our newly forged Nichirin Blades
are almost here.

Really?

Yes, I heard it from my Kasugai Crow.

I could smell Mr. Haganezuka.

Let's hurry!

Mr. Haganezuka.

Hey! Mr. Haganezuka!

Long time no see!

Have you been well--

Go to hell!

Mr. Haganezuka.

How dare you break my sword!

You've got some nerves!

I'm sorry.

But I really...

At that time, I almost lost my life.

The opponent was very powerful.

Unacceptable!

The opponent is not in the equation.

It was you. It was your mistake.

Because you were too weak.
So, your sword broke.

Otherwise, how could my sword break?

But...

I want to kill you!

Are they doing a new form of training?

I don't think so.

Well, Mr. Haganezuka is such
a hot-tempered person.

Yes.

He appreciates swords
more than anyone else.

In Swordsmith Village,
it's hard to find someone like him.

I think so too.

I'm Kanamori.

I took charge
in forging Lord Inosuke's sword.

It's my honor to do my part in this war.

How beautiful.

The bluish-grey color has a dull shine.

The color has depth to it.

It's an excellent color for swords.

That's great.

Inosuke's original swords
were badly damaged.

How do you feel when you grip them?

Actually, this is my first time
making twin swords

for a dual-wielding swordsman.

Lord Inosuke?

You fool!

Nice!

I want to kill you, you wicked bastard!

-Let me see what you've done!
-I'm sorry.

-Wicked bastard! I won't let you live!
-I'm sorry.

It doesn't make sense, right?

-How can there be such a guy?
-I'm sorry.

-Hammering the sword with a rock?
-I'm sorry.

-It makes no sense!
-I'm sorry.

I think he's doing fine.

Tanjiro has been working hard.

Let's make rice balls for him again.

My body has changed.

I can't wait to swing my sword.

With my hands,
I want to swing the Nichirin Blade.

Yes!

They are equally strong. Good luck!

I mustn't let my guard down!

I can win this!

She missed it!

Watch me!

This concoction smells horrible.

It sucks to be splashed with it.

He won!

Is this considered a win?

Splashing it or putting it on her head
is the same.

Yes! I did it!

-This is bad.
-This is bad.

I'm not going to lose!

Here, open your mouth.

Your jaw looks fine.

Okay, please close your mouth.

That's all for your checkup.

Your body has recovered.

Please be rest assured
and accept your assignments.

Well, the training is...

Yes.

All you have to face
from now on is real combat.

Yes.

Right, Ms. Shinobu.

I have something to ask you.

What is it?

Have you heard of Dance of the Fire God?

No.

What about Breath of the Sun?

No.

Actually, it's something related
to my childhood.

Okay.

I see.

I don't know why your dad
used Breath of the Sun.

From what I know,

there's Breath of Flames,
but not Breath of the Sun.

What? Are they different?

I don't know the details either.

I'm sorry.

There's a strict distinction
to that kind of Breath Styles.

We can't call Breath of Flames
as Breath of the Sun.

The Flame Pillar, Mr. Rengoku,
might know about this.

Unfortunately, he went out on a mission.

I understand.

Thank you for telling me these things.

I'll ask Mr. Rengoku
when I see him next time.

Okay.

Well, I shall take my leave.

Tanjiro.

Yes?

I'm looking forward to your achievements.

Yes!

She's still sleeping today.

Although I heard you're sleeping
to recover your energy,

if you don't open your eyes sometimes,

I'll still get worried.

It's almost time for me to leave
this place and take on missions.

My body has recovered a lot.

I'm slightly stronger too.

I've been maintaining
Constant Total Concentration Breathing.

I believe Zenitsu and Inosuke
will be together with us too.

If they are here, I'll be at ease.

Is that so?

You think so too, Nezuko?

They are great people.

To turn Nezuko back into a human,

I'll try my best to defeat
the stronger demons

and deliver their blood to Ms. Tamayo.

Can I really do it?

You can definitely do it, Tanjiro.

Thank you, Nezuko.

You're cheering me on, aren't you?

I'll do my best.

It's so tiring to maintain
Total Concentration Breathing.

I can't master it at all. Damn it.

You guys must be tired.

Right!

I know a little gossip
from the Taisho era.

If you pour the concoction
during reflex training into your bath,

I heard it's great for eliminating fatigue
and promoting wound healing.

I'm going to train now.

You two should take a break.

I can still continue!
Don't look down on me!

Are we still training?

All right. Fine! I'll go!

Next, episode 26, "New Mission."

I'll be going then, Nezuko.
