Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - The Smell of Enchanting Blood - full transcript

The next mission is in Asakusa, Tokyo. Tanjiro is taken aback by the opulent Taisho Era cityscape, but soon picks up the demon's scent there. His pursuit of the scent leads him to Muzan ...

Are you okay, honey?

Honey?

Stop!

What's going on here?

There... There's blood!

Stop!

Honey.

Ma'am, you're in great danger.

Wrap your wound with cloth
and hold it tight.

It's okay.

There must be a way to cure you.

The wife's wound shouldn't be fatal.

Harder!

Hold it harder.
Bind the cloth with a rope.

You're going to be okay.

This man hasn't killed anyone.

He was just an ordinary passerby
just a moment ago.

Are you all right?

Don't look.

It's dangerous here, Rei.
Let's go somewhere else.

What about him?

Damn it.

I can't leave this one behind.

Muzan Kibutsuji!

No matter where you go,

I'll never let you off the hook!

What's with that boy?

Do you know him, Tsukihiko?

You'll never get away from me!

I'll pursue you to the depth of hell
and I'll cut off your head with my sword!

I'll never forgive you!

Hey! What are you up to?

Are they drunk?

Hey, kid. Get off that man.

No.

Get me some fetters, please.

I beg you.

That's enough. Get up.

Please, don't.

Only I can constrain this man.

Move aside!

Please don't!

Goodness, what happened to his face?

Did he lose his mind?

Take the boy away.

Please stop!

I don't want him to kill anyone.

Please let me do my work.

I beg you, gentlemen.

Damn! If you resist us again...

Enchanting Blood, Aroma of Visual Fantasy.

What is this aroma?

What are these patterns?

What's going on?

I can't see anything around me.

Is this some kind of attack?

If it is, that's not good.

The smell is getting stronger.

You still call someone a human

even if he has turned into a demon

and you will do your best to save him.

So let me give you a helping hand.

Why are you doing this?

Who are you?

Your scent, it's...

That's right. I am...

a demon, but I'm also a healer.

I'm also bent on eradicating
a certain Muzan Kibutsuji.

You're not coming along, Dad?

I have work to do,

so I have to go somewhere else.

It was a huge commotion back there.

Honey.

It's okay.

I'm just going to talk to the police.

Okay, go inside.

Come home early, Dad.

I will. Be a good girl.

Send them home, please.

You may go now.

Dude, let's hit another bar!

Yachan, are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm not drunk yet--

What the hell?

Excuse me.

Stop!

Excuse me, but I'm in a hurry.

What was that?

Hey, that's an expensive suit
you have there.

It hurts my eyes.

Your face looks pale.

It's like you're going to die.

Say something.

Are you already dead?

Yachan!

What did you do to my brother?

Honey, he's dead!

Yachan isn't breathing.

Why you...

Do I look that horrible to you?

Is my face pale?

Do I look weak?

Do I look like I can't live long?

That I'm going to die soon?

No.

I am the one and only life form
that is on the verge of perfection.

If I supply you with a good amount
of blood, do you know what will happen?

A human body is simply unable
to sustain such a drastic change.

It damages your cells.

I want you to kill the demon slayer
wearing hanafuda earrings.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

As you wish, sir.

Those earrings...

Listen up!

It's...

It's not that you haven't paid me,

but that you've wasted my udon!

You have to pay for that!

I'm sorry. Please give me another one.

-Will you eat it?
-Yes.

-Are you sure?
-Yes, I am!

Good!

So will you!

Put down that tube
if you want some of my udon.

What's that tube for anyway?

Chopsticks! Use chopsticks!

Can I have my udon now?

Two bowls for me!

Sure.

Thank you for the meal.

That was delicious.

Glad that you appreciated it,
you get that?

Come again soon!

I'm sorry, Nezuko, for leaving you there.

What is it, Nezuko?

Are you waiting for me?

I've been instructed to take you there.

I can smell my way there.

It's a place that is cast
with a Blindfold spell.

Do you think you can find it?

Blindfold?

Besides that,

isn't she a demon too?

She looks hideous.

Hideous?

Hideous?

Is he pointing at some ugly woman?

Who?

Nezuko?

She's not hideous!

Take a good look at her face.

Nezuko was a popular beauty
back where we came from, you know!

Come along.

Of course I will, but Nezuko is not ugly!

You'll see her once we go
somewhere brighter.

Wait, let's go there, okay?

I see it now.

It's because of her mouthpiece, right?

Maybe it's the mouthpiece
that made her look ugly.

But someday you'll see
what she looks like without it.

Hurry up, while no one is around.

There's a big house beyond the dead end.

Hurry!

Heads up.

Don't be rude when you see my master.

I don't care if you're dead or alive,

but she instructed me to take you along.

Come in.

I'm home.

Good to see you again.

Thank you for taking the trouble
to help me.

And the lady...

She's fine now.

But I pity her husband.

He's in the dungeon now.

You're treating humans.

Isn't that hard for you?

Are you saying that we demons
crave for flesh and blood

as we treat human beings?

I'm sorry.

Be nice to our guests.

Why do you have to be so rough on them?

I haven't introduced myself.

My name is Tamayo.

The boy is Yushiro.

I hope you can get along.

Get along? No way!

It's not hard on me at all.

I think I'm much gentler
than the average demon.

It's because I have extensively
reformed my body.

I even freed myself
from Kibutsuji's curse.

Curse?

You reformed your body?

This way.

Nezuko, behave yourself.

It's okay.

Just relax.

Sorry about that.

Now, what were we on about?

We made ourselves survive
without eating people.

All we need is just a few drops
of human blood.

You drink blood?

So you're...

Perhaps you're feeling disturbed.

We buy blood from cash-strapped people
under the guise of blood transfusion.

Of course, it's not so much as to cause
any trouble to their bodies.

I see.

So this is why they don't have
the sort of scent that demons have.

But still, they need their fix
of human blood.

If it's just blood, then Nezuko too can...

Meanwhile, Yushiro needs even less blood.

I turned him into a demon.

What, you turned him? But...

Yes.

It's said that no other demon
can create new demons besides Kibutsuji.

In general, that's true.

In the 200 years I have spent,

Yushiro is the only one I've created.

Two...

Two hundred years?

You spent 200 years to create a demon
and Yushiro is the only one?

How old are you, Ms. Tamayo?

Never ask a woman her age, you fool!

That hurts.

Yushiro.

I will punish you
if you harm this boy again.

Understood.

She's graceful even when she's angry.

There's something
I need to be clear with you about.

It is not my intention
to increase the population of demons.

But for those who have
little chance of survival

due to terminal illness
or severe injuries,

this is the only way to treat them.

So whenever I meet someone
under these circumstances,

I'll ask if they would like to be a demon
so they'll live long without aging.

There's nothing suspicious at all
about her pure-hearted scent.

I think I can trust her.

Ms. Tamayo.

Is there a way to turn humans who have
become demons back to humans?

Do you see it?

Yes, I do.

I see footprints.

This is it.

There's an enclosure up ahead.

There are three people
and they have a huge box.

How should we kill him?

I can feel the power flowing within me.

I owe it all to our lord
for giving me his blood.

Of course we're going to give him
an agonizing death.

As for turning demons back into humans,

there is a way.

Please tell me how--

Keep your distance from Lady Tamayo!

Yushiro.

I was just throwing him down, Lady Tamayo.

I didn't punch him.

It's still inappropriate.

Understood.

That hurts.

Please tell me.

Every kind of injury and disease

certainly has a remedy or treatment.

Although we can't turn demons
back into humans at this stage,

but there will be a way.

Thus, we must work to derive a treatment
by means of research.

So I have a request for you.

In order to create an antidote,

we need a large quantity
of demon blood for research.

I have two favors to ask from you.

Firstly,

I want your approval
to examine your sister's blood.

Secondly,

I hope you can try your best
to harvest the blood from demons

who have a thick amount
of Kibutsuji's blood.

Nezuko is currently under
a very rare peculiar condition.

You said she was in a coma for two years.

I suppose that her body has experienced
changes throughout the time.

Usually for such a long time,

if a demon has no access
to human or animal flesh for food,

it will undoubtedly grow more aggressive.

Lady Tamayo has remained gorgeous today.

She'll definitely be gorgeous tomorrow.

However, what was surprising is that

Nezuko never showed any of those symptoms.

This miracle should become the key
to our upcoming research.

Nezuko.

The second favor I asked you
will be a terrible ordeal.

As for the demons who have
a thick amount of Kibutsuji's blood,

those are demons who are almost
as powerful as Kibutsuji.

It's not going to be easy
to harvest blood from them.

That being said,

do you still wish to fulfill my requests?

If there's no other way,

then I'll do it.

If you manage to come up
with an antidote, Ms. Tamayo,

after researching a lot of demon blood,

it will save not only Nezuko,

but even more people, am I right?

Yes.

Get down!

So how do we kill him?

Make it agonizing, of course!

Here's a little gossip
from the Taisho era.

I heard that Yushiro's hobby
is writing in Lady Tamayo's diary.

They say that he can write
seven to ten pages per day.

Somehow, I was able to obtain the diary,
so let me read it to you.

Here it goes.

"January 10.

Lady Tamayo was fantastically
gorgeous today.

At 5:10 p.m.,
she called out my name twice.

Her voice was so pleasant.

At 5:29 p.m.,

Lady Tamayo was lost in thought
when she stumbled on an uneven road."

Next, episode 9,
"Temari Demon and Arrow Demon."

Pretend I didn't read his diary, okay?
