Farmer Sure, you’re welcome to it, but that basket’s full of holes. Tanjirou Yes. I’ll pay you for it. Farmer No, that’s all right. I mean, it’s a basket full of holes. Tanjirou No, I will pay you! Farmer No, it’s all right. You can have the bamboo and straw for free, too. Tanjirou But I’m still paying you! Farmer I said it’s okay! You’re one stubborn kid! [Action: Tanjirou slaps the money into the farmer’s hand.] Farmer Agh…! Tanjirou Please accept this, although it’s just small change! [Action: Tanjirou begins running off with the basket, straw, and bamboo.] Tanjirou Thank you very much! Farmer Ouch!! [Scene: At a cave in the mountains, during the day. Tanjirou calls for Nezuko, who is in the cave.] Tanjirou Nezuko? Huh? Nezuko? She’s gone! [Action: Nezuko pokes her head out of a hole in the ground.] Tanjirou She’s here. [Scene: At a cave in the mountains, during the day.] Tanjirou Nezuko… (Thoughts) She dug a hole? (Thoughts) My little sister has turned into a mole. (Thoughts) And she’s frowning! (Thoughts) She must really want to avoid the sunlight. Wait there for a second. [Action: Tanjirou fashions a covered basket for Nezuko with the basket, straw, and bamboo.] Tanjirou Nezuko? Nezuko. Think you can fit inside this? I want to keep moving during the day, too. I’ll carry you, okay? Can you fit? In here? Basket. [Action: Nezuko dives headfirst into the basket, but doesn’t quite fit.] Tanjirou She kinda protrudes, huh? (Thoughts) I can’t believe she grew up. Seems like yesterday that she was tiny. Huh? Nezuko. Remember how you became big like an adult earlier? Do you think you can do the opposite? Get smaller? Smaller, Nezuko! Get smaller! [Action: Nezuko flips the basket rightside up and dives into it.] Tanjirou Ahh! [Action: Nezuko becomes small enough to fit inside the basket.] Tanjirou Ohh! Good job! That’s a good girl, Nezuko! I’m impressed! [Scene: In the late afternoon. Tanjirou walks down the path past a farm with Nezuko carried in the covered basket on his back.] Woman Mt. Sagiri? If you want to go to Mt. Sagiri, you’ll have to cross over that mountain, but… The sun’s about to set. Are you really heading there with all that luggage? It’s dangerous, you know. Tanjirou I’ll be careful. Thank you very much. Woman People have gone missing lately! Try not to lose your way! [Action: Tanjirou turns back to wave at the woman and continues walking down the path.] [Scene: At night, on a path going into the mountains. Tanjirou and Nezuko walk together until they reach a lighted temple.] Tanjirou Oh. There’s a temple over there. There’s light leaking through, so someone must be there. Let’s check it out. Ah… Hah! [Action: Tanjirou looks around.] Tanjirou I smell blood! This mountain path is pretty rough! Someone must have gotten hurt! [Action: Tanjirou and Nezuko run up the steps to the temple. Tanjirou slides the doors open quickly.] Tanjirou Are you all right?! Ah! [Action: The basket drops off Tanjirou’s back. Inside the temple, a demon has attacked several humans, leaving them dead. He’s eating their corpses.] Demon What the hell? This is my turf. If you break into my territory, I’ll make you pay! Tanjirou (Thoughts) It’s a man-eating demon! [Action: At the sight of the corpses, Nezuko begins salivating furiously.] Demon Huh? There’s something off about you. Are you both humans? Tanjirou Urk…! [Action: The demon charges Tanjirou, knocking both of them from the top of the steps to the temple.] Tanjirou Urk! [Action: Tanjirou uses his hatchet to slice the neck of the demon.] Tanjirou Urk… Demon Hahaha… A hatchet, huh? Not bad. But a scratch like this… should heal in no time. [Action: The wound Tanjirou inflicted heals.] Demon See that? The bleeding stopped already. Tanjirou Ah…! [Action: Nezuko continues to stare at the bodies in the temple. The demon moves too quickly to see and pounces on Tanjirou, pushing him to the ground.] Tanjirou Urk…! (Thoughts) He’s so fast! And he’s unbelievably strong! Demon You won’t get me twice! All right. I’m gonna snap your neck! Tanjirou Agh! [Action: At the sound of Tanjirou’s pain, Nezuko runs from the temple and kicks the demon’s head off in a swift motion.] Nezuko Urgh! [Scene: The demon’s head hits a tree.] Demon Gah! Tanjirou What…? What?! Eek…! [Action: The demon’s body falls limp. Tanjirou pushes it to the side.] Tanjirou Wah! (Thoughts) Sh-She killed him! (Thoughts) Oh, but wait! He’s a demon, so… [Action: The demon’s body starts to reach for Tanjirou.] Tanjirou N-Nezuko… Nezuko Urgh! [Action: Nezuko kicks the demon's body away. It, too, crashes into a tree.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I don’t believe this… Did he just move without his head?! Demon You bastards! Tanjirou Ah…! Demon One of you is a demon after all? You gave off such a weird vibe! What’s a human and a demon doing teaming up? Tanjirou (Thoughts) He’s actually talking! Ah! [Action: The demon’s headless body runs toward Nezuko, jumps into the air, and attempts to kick her.] Nezuko Urgh! [Action: The demon’s body continues to attack Nezuko.] Tanjirou Stop it! Ahhh!! [Action: Tanjirou charges toward the headless body with his hatchet while the demon’s partially regenerated body and head run toward Tanjirou.] Demon Grr…! Tanjirou Ah! [Action: Tanjirou stops the demon’s head with his hatchet, and the demon grabs Tanjirou’s shoulders.] Tanjirou Nezuko! Nezuko Urgh… Urgh! [Action: The headless body kicks Nezuko several times. It throws her deeper into the forest.] Nezuko Ugh! Tanjirou Nezuko! Grr… Ah…! (Thoughts) What’s the deal with this guy? [Action: The demon’s hair begins wrapping around the handle of Tanjirou’s hatchet.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Growing arms from his head! (Thoughts) I gotta save Nezuko! Demon Hmm? Tanjirou Out of my way! [Action: Tanjirou headbutts the demon.] Demon Gah… (Thoughts) Hard as a rock! (Thoughts) That head of his… Tanjirou Hngh! [Action: Tanjirou headbutts the demon again.] Demon (Thoughts) … like a rock! Tanjirou Ahhh!! [Action: Tanjirou throws the hatchet, along with the demon’s head.] Demon Gahhh! [Action: The demon’s head is pinned against a tree.] Tanjirou Okay! [Action: Tanjirou runs off into the forest.] Demon I wrapped my hair around his hatchet to grab it, but it got tangled up! Dammit! [Scene: Deeper in the forest. Tanjirou searches for Nezuko.] Tanjirou Nezuko! Where are you? [Action: Tanjirou continues running, eventually finding Nezuko. The demon’s headless body kicks her.] Nezuko Ugh! Tanjirou Nezuko! Stop it! [Action: Tanjirou tackles the body, accidentally flinging both of them off a cliff.] Tanjirou Ahhh! [Scene: In the forest, at night. Tanjirou is falling off a cliff.] Tanjirou Ahh! Urgh… [Action: Before Tanjirou can fall, Nezuko grabs the collar of his clothing. The headless body continues to fall. When the body falls on its neck, the demon feels it.] Demon Gahhh! [Scene: Back at the temple. Tanjirou draws a small blade to kill the unconscious demon head.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I wonder if there are tons of demons out there. (Thoughts) This isn’t the scent that was lingering in my house. That was a different demon… (Thoughts) But… I gotta finish him off, or he’ll attack more people. (Thoughts) So… I gotta do it! [Action: Tanjirou’s breathing gets harder as he hesitates to kill the demon.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Do it! [Action: A hand reaches out and takes Tanjirou’s shoulder.] Tanjirou Ah…! Ah! [Action: tanjirou turns to see a man wearing a tengu mask.] Urokodaki You can’t finish him off with that. Tanjirou (Thoughts) A goblin mask! (Thoughts) I didn’t hear his footsteps! H-How can I finish him off? Urokodaki Don’t ask me. Can’t you use your own head to figure that out? Tanjirou Ah… (Thoughts) If stabbing is no good… I’ll have to crush his head! [Action: Tanjirou grabs a fairly large rock and stands before the demon’s head.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) To crush his skull and smash it completely, I guess I’m going to have to pound him with this rock many times. (Thoughts) I bet he’s going to suffer. (Thoughts) Isn’t there anything I can use to kill him with one blow? Urokodaki (Thoughts) Ahh… This kid isn’t going to cut it. (Thoughts) He’s too kind and can’t make decisions. (Thoughts) He’s facing a demon, yet the scent of kindness remains. (Thoughts) He has empathy for even a demon. (Thoughts) Giyuu… he’s never going to make it. [Action: The demon regains consciousness.] Demon Ugh… (Thoughts) Ah… I blacked out. (Thoughts) Is my body dead, then? (Thoughts) I feel sick! Ah! [Action: The demon notices Tanjirou and begins trying to grab at him.] Demon You bastard, I’ll kill you! I swear I’ll devour you! Get over here! Dammit! I can’t go to you, so you come to me! Tanjirou (Thoughts) I faltered too long. Now the sun’s coming up! Demon Are you listening, you brat?! Ah… Bwahh! Gahh! Ahh!! [Action: In the sunlight, the demon is burned alive and disintegrates.] Tanjirou Ah…! (Thoughts) He’s gone with that much sunlight?! (Thoughts) No wonder Nezuko shrinks from it! Ah… [Action: Tanjirou looks around.] Tanjirou Nezuko? Nezuko?! [Action: Tanjirou runs back to the temple. He sighs in relief when he sees Nezuko in her basket.] Tanjirou Nezuko… Ah… O-Oh, that’s right. Where’s that man? [Action: Tanjirou walks to the side of the temple, where Urokodaki squats with his hands in prayer.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) He buried the people who got killed. Umm… Urokodaki I’m Sakonji Urokodaki. I’m assuming you’re the one Giyuu Tomioka sent my way. Tanjirou Yes! My name is Tanjirou Kamado! My sister’s name is Nezuko, and… Urokodaki Tanjirou… What will you do when your sister devours a human? Tanjirou Huh…? [Action: Urokodaki slaps Tanjirou across the face.] Tanjirou Ah… Urokodaki Too slow! You’re just too slow at making decisions! You failed to finish off that demon before daybreak! Do you know why you couldn’t answer my question right away? It’s because your resolve is too weak! There are two things to do if your sister devours a human. Kill your sister! And slit your own belly and die! That’s what it means to travel with your sister who became a demon! But that must never happen no matter what. And best you not forget. Your sister, taking the life of an innocent person… That’s the one thing that must never happen. Ever! Do you understand what I’m saying? Tanjirou Yes! Urokodaki All right, now I’m going to test you to see if you’re fit to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Carry your sister on your back and follow me! [Action: Urokodaki begins running through farmlands, with Tanjirou following him some distance behind.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) He’s so fast! Just how old is he anyway?! (Thoughts) And, like earlier, I’m not hearing any footsteps at all! (Thoughts) Nezuko, I know it must be jarring, but please be patient! (Thoughts) Well, being patient is all that you’ve ever known. (Thoughts) Nezuko… all your life… (Flashback) You’re fixing your kimono again? I guess we’ll have to buy you a new one. Nezuko (Flashback) No, no, it’s all right! This kimono is my favorite! (Flashback) I’d rather the younger kids got more food to fill them up! Tanjirou (Thoughts) I swear I’ll turn you back into a human! (Thoughts) I swear I’ll buy you a beautiful kimono someday! (Thoughts) Everything that I couldn’t do for the others… I’ll do it all for you! [Scene: In the late afternoon. Tanjirou and Urokodaki have arrived at Urokodaki’s house. Tanjirou is dead tired.] Tanjirou N-Now, have I… passed the test? Urokodaki The test starts now. We’re going to climb a mountain. Tanjirou Ahh…! [Action: Tanjirou lies a sleeping Nezuko down in Urokodaki’s house.] Urokodaki I’ll make sure to take care of your sister for you. Tanjirou I’m counting on you, sir. [Action: At night, Urokodaki and Tanjirou set out to climb the mountain.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) I’m exhausted… My legs are starting to buckle! (Thoughts) I’m starting to feel dizzy, too. [Action: Urokodaki stops.] Tanjirou Ah… Urokodaki Now, from here, go back down to the house at the foot of the mountain. This time, I’m not going to wait until daybreak! [Action: Urokodaki disappears into the mist.] Tanjirou What? (Thoughts) Is that all? (Thoughts) I see. He thinks I might get lost in this thick fog. (Thoughts) I just have to get back by daybreak, right? (Thoughts) That’s easy! I’ve got a great sense of smell! (Thoughts) I’ve already memorized Mr. Urokodaki’s scent! [Action: Tanjirou begins running down the mountain. His leg hits a tripwire.] Tanjirou Wah! [Action: As Tanjirou looks around, several rocks fly toward him, hitting his face.] Tanjirou Gah! (Thoughts) Rocks?! [Action: Tanjirou takes a few steps to the side and falls into a hole.] Tanjirou Ahh! Ugh… (Thoughts) A pitfall! (Thoughts) I get it now. So there are traps all around! (Thoughts) That’s the deal, huh? [Action: As Tanjirou crawls out of the hole, he reaches forward and triggers another tripwire.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Uh-oh! Urgh! [Action: From behind, a log attached to a rope swings forward and hits Tanjirou.] Tanjirou Ugh… (Thoughts) Crap, crap, crap! (Thoughts) If I keep walking into traps like this, I won’t make it down the mountain by morning! (Thoughts) And besides, this mountain… This mountain is… (Thoughts) The air is thin here! (Thoughts) It’s way thinner here than on the mountain where I used to live! (Thoughts) That’s why I’m gasping for air like this and feel so dizzy! [Action: Tanjirou continues running forward.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Will I make it back? I might pass out! (Thoughts) No! I gotta make it back! [Action: Tanjirou pauses.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Get your breathing under control… and sniff out each of those traps! Ah! [Action: Tanjirou continues running. He activates a tripwire, sending logs on ropes flying his way. He manages to dodge them. As he continues, he manages to avoid hitting the tripwires and other traps.] Tanjirou (Thoughts) Right! I’ve got it! I’ve got it! (Thoughts) Traps set by human hands have a slightly different scent after all! [Action: Tanjirou hits a trap, sending him into a bamboo pole that flings him up and into the ground.] Tanjirou Urk! (Thoughts) But that doesn’t mean… I’m suddenly athletic enough to dodge every one of them! (Thoughts) I’m gonna make it back no matter what! (Thoughts) Nezuko! [Scene: At Urokodaki’s house. Urokodaki watches over Nezuko as the sky is beginning to become light. Tanjirou opens the sliding door.] Tanjirou I… have… returned… [Action: Tanjirou falls to the ground.] Tomioka (Flashback) Forgive my abruptness, Mr. Sakonji Urokodaki. (Flashback) I’m sending a boy your way who wants to become a Demon Slayer swordsman. (Flashback) He was brazen enough to attack me unarmed. (Flashback) His family was slaughtered by a demon, and the surviving younger sister has become one, but I have determined that she will not attack humans. (Flashback) I can sense something different about these two. (Flashback) Like yourself, the boy seems to have a keen sense of smell. (Flashback) Perhaps he’ll find a way to break through and become your heir apparent. (Flashback) I am asking you to train him. (Flashback) I realize that this is a self-serving request, but please forgive me. (Flashback) I hope that you will take good care of yourself in your endeavors. (Flashback) Yours truly, Giyuu Tomioka. Urokodaki I accept you as my student, Tanjirou Kamado.
