Here I come,
rushing in like a boar!
I'm pissed.
I'm so damn pissed.
Teruko, hang on to the furniture.
That demon is a caster.
You can't just slash him with a sword.
I'm so pissed off by these stinking bugs messing around in my house.
The room can spin.
Interesting!
Don't step on another person.
What the hell?
You just stepped on a child. What's up with you?
Good.
That was the first time someone threw me down.
Why is he fighting me?
Is he not a Demon Slayer?
My swords are amazing, aren't they?
They are not for ordinary kids like you.
They can make mincemeat out of anybody. They're my pride and joy.
Stop.
The demon is over there.
I don't care!
Stinking bugs.
Get out of my sight and die!
The tatami got split open.
It happened at the same pace as the drum beat.
It looks like a scratch of a wild animal.
Go right.
Go left.
Stupid bug.
You damn stinking bugs!
I'm getting the hang of it.
The room is changing again.
But how did that happen?
The demon didn't beat his drum.
I can smell a few demons in this mansion.
Are there other demons beating drums?
That might explain why...
I smell blood.
Don't be afraid.
Stay behind me.
It's the leftovers of another corpse eaten by a demon.
What is it?
It's okay.
The demon is not here anymore.
Come on, let's go somewhere else.
Don't turn around, walk straight ahead.
There's another scent, but it's not from a corpse.
It's the smell of a peculiar blood I've never encountered before.
But it's not a big spill.
Excuse me, Mr. Zenitsu.
Signal.
Whatever you do, give me a signal.
If you want to say something, don't do it so suddenly.
I'm so shocked, I almost threw up my heart.
Sorry.
If my heart blasted out, you'll become a murderer, get it?
I was just saying...
that you sweat a lot, breathe heavily, and tremble terribly.
Can't I?
I already did my best!
No, I'm sorry to say this,
but your jitters are making me uneasy too.
No, I'm sorry!
But...
If we don't stop talking, the demon might show up.
So I want to be as quiet as possible.
What about you?
There are kids.
Boy, do they taste good.
Look at that!
It showed up, right? Isn't that a demon?
Stay away from me!
Don't come after me!
Stop chasing me, I said!
I'm not tasty!
I'm definitely not tasty!
Really!
We're skinny, dry, sunken, and definitely not tasty!
You will never know if you haven't tried.
What the hell?
His tongue is so fast, it split the bucket into two!
This is ridiculous!
No!
Get up, Mr. Zenitsu.
My knees won't take orders.
Eighty percent of my fear is concentrated in them.
This is not the time to talk stuff like that.
Just leave me alone.
You have to run.
But I can't.
He's such a good boy.
I can tell from his voice that he's scared.
I have to think of something.
It's a pity if I can't protect him.
It isn't right if he dies young.
But I'm extremely feeble.
Get up.
I may not be strong enough,
but I must protect him.
I'm going to slurp the bone marrow out of your ear.
Mr. Zenitsu!
Sir...
He's asleep.
What's up with him?
You're finished!
Mr. Zenitsu, get up now!
What's that sound?
His breath, it has changed.
Mr. Zenitsu?
Breath of Thunder.
First Form.
Thunderclap and Flash.
It's dead!
The demon's suddenly dead!
But how?
I can't take it!
What happened?
I can't take it anymore!
Shoichi, did you...
Thank you for saving me!
I'll appreciate it forever!
You should've told me that you were so powerful!
What's up with him?
What was that?
Nothing.
Let's go.
I've lost him again.
It has been like this in the past three days.
Damn it.
Rushing through a building so narrow,
I'm so not in my element!
You dodged.
You're one pretty vigorous human being.
Looks like you're worthy of me shredding you into pieces.
My way, the Breath of the Beast.
The larger the target, the better it is to split into two!
You have such guts to rush towards me.
That hurts!
I'm going to make a stepping stone out of your corpse.
Third Fang.
Rip and Devour!
Rushing in like a boar!
Rare blood.
I can only eat rare blood.
So I'll reach the power of 50...
No, I mean 100 people.
I must eat more people with rare blood.
Once I do,
I can rejoin the Twelve Demon Moons.
Kyogai.
You can't eat any more people?
Is this all you can do?
No, this isn't it.
Please wait a little longer.
Give me a little more time.
That's enough.
I'm going to strip you of your number
because you've reached your limit.
The more people you eat, the mightier you become.
Only by fulfilling that criteria, will I obtain the blood of Lord Kibutsuji.
The lord's blood contains power beyond compare.
No matter how strong I get, I still couldn't catch up with him.
In order to rejoin the ranks of the Twelve Demon Moons,
I had to keep on devouring more people.
I believed that I can still be even more powerful.
So I believed.
Kiyoshi!
Teruko.
Who is this?
I'm Tanjiro Kamado.
I'm here to defeat evil demons.
Here, let me see your injury.
You did well even when you were alone.
Kiyoshi.
Here's an amazing wound cream.
My master made it for me.
My master always wears a tengu mask.
Tengu? Really?
Yes.
His cream is so amazing, it works the second you rub it.
There you go.
Well, it doesn't hurt, right?
Can you tell me what you encountered here?
A monster caught me.
As he was about to eat me,
some other monsters came out of nowhere.
They started fighting each other.
They were arguing over who among them could eat me.
Then, there was one who grew drums on his body.
When the others beat him up,
this drum fell off him.
I picked it up and beat it, and the room changes.
I still have it now.
The one with the drums.
Is it that one?
The one who talks about rare blood?
Yes, that's the one.
He keeps calling me rare blood.
This so-called "rare blood" refers to someone with precious blood.
You brats.
Watch out or I'll peck your heads.
Stop it.
What do you mean by precious blood?
Every living being has its own type of blood, you fool.
Amongst rare blood,
there's an even rarer precious blood that gives even greater power.
To demons, a person with rare blood has the worth
that is equivalent of 50 or even 100 normal people!
Rare blood is the demons' most exquisite delicacy.
It's the demon's favorite.
Rare blood.
I'm about to leave this room.
Calm down and you'll be all right.
I have demons to slay.
Listen, Teruko.
Your brother here is very tired.
You must be a good girl and help him.
Once I leave,
you must beat the drum to move the place around.
Just like what your brother did.
Whoever opens the door,
once you hear it, just beat the drum to save yourselves.
I promise I'll get you out of here.
I'll trace your scent.
When I open the door, I'll call your name.
Just hang in there.
Can you do it?
Good, you're strong.
I'll be back soon.
Beat it!
Stinking bugs.
Such a pain in the ass.
Drum on the right shoulder, turn right.
Drum on the left shoulder, turn left.
Drum on the right leg, move forward.
Drum on the left leg, move back.
Drum on the belly, a scratch!
It's so fast.
His spinning and attacks are surprisingly quick.
Ms. Tamayo may have treated me a lot,
but my wounds haven't completely healed.
Can I beat him?
My wounds hurt so much, I can't stand it.
I have to endure it.
When I pulled Zenitsu away from that girl
and reprimanded him,
I had to endure a sore so acute.
I'm the eldest son, so I must endure it.
If I were a second son, I wouldn't have endured it.
If I exert pressure on my leg,
the broken part will make a cracking sound and I can't make it go up.
The demon's attack that looks like a scratch mark.
It's stopping me from getting closer.
I'm not in my best condition,
so when I want to charge by shortening the standoff distance,
my leg won't work with me because of the pain.
I'll be shredded into pieces.
The agony is only making me think of the worst.
Master Urokodaki?
Water comes in all shapes and sizes.
In a measuring cube, it's a square.
In a vase, it is round.
Sometimes, it can smash a rock and spread its pieces all over.
Yes, he's right.
Breath of Water comes in many forms.
So it can take on all sorts of foes.
Even when I'm injured, I can make up for it with motion.
I can turn into all shapes and sizes.
The flow of water will never stop!
Not only my bones are broken, but my heart is frustrated.
I can't stand Tanjiro being frustrated!
Can you please be quiet?
I have to move forward.
I'll liven up my own spirits.
Go for it, Tanjiro.
Go for it!
You have come so far.
You can do it.
Be it today
or the days ahead.
No matter how tough it gets,
I'll never give up!
Go, Tanjiro!
I'm the eldest son, so I have to bear it.
You're rooting for me, aren't you?
Thank you, Nezuko.
I'll return your favor by rooting for you as well.
Go, Nezuko!
You must not give up, Nezuko.
You're the eldest daughter.
No matter how bad it gets, you must tell me everything.
Next, episode 13, "Something More Important Than Life."
I didn't take the time to tell you gossip from the Taisho era!
