How should we kill them, I wonder.
I can feel the flow of power.
Because of all the blood he shared with me.
Of course we're going to slay them vindictively.
Get down!
Did you decide how to kill them?
Vindictively, of course!
EPISODE 9: TEMARI DEMON AND ARROW DEMON
You were right, Yahaba!
A building just appeared out of nowhere!
The handiwork of a Blood Demon Arts wielder adept at hiding objects.
And is the demon hunter accompanied by a demon?
What's going on here?
Isn't this fun?
Still, I have to say, Susamaru...
Your way of doing things is so immature.
So careless.
You splattered me!
You splattered my kimono with dust!
Oh, stop whining!
We found them right away thanks to my temari, so who cares?
And now we can have tons of fun!
You've gone and splattered me again!
You're so uptight.
Your kimono isn't the least bit soiled.
And besides...
Found 'em! Found 'em!
A temari!
So, she caused all this damage
by throwing that temari?
That woman...
Is she one of Kibutsuji's minions?
Lady Tamayo!
Yushiro!
Dammit!
Nezuko!
Take the lady sleeping in the back room somewhere safe outside!
It's too dangerous outside!
We have a basement, so take her there!
Understood!
Nezuko!
That's one down!
She's giving off a totally different scent than any of the other demons!
Is it stronger? It's a really thick scent!
It feels so heavy once it enters my lungs!
The demon hunter wearing hanafuda-like earrings...
It's you, isn't it?
So, I'm the one they're targeting?
Miss Tamayo!
Please find a place to hide!
I'm the one those demons are after!
Tanjiro, I want you to fight without worrying about us.
We'll be fine without your protection.
Since we're demons.
All right.
It's all over for you now!
That temari will only swerve if I dodge it.
Of the ten forms...
The fastest thrusting technique...
Total Concentration...
Water Breathing!
Seventh Form,
Drop Ripple Thrust-curve!
Oh, so you thrust at the curve diagonally to soften the temari's blow.
But...
How can that temari move around like that?
It swerved unnaturally
when it struck Yushiro, as well!
It's not like it's spinning in any special way, and yet...
What is this?
Yushiro!
La...
Lady Tamayo!
Didn't I tell you?
That we shouldn't get involved with that demon hunter!
From the start!
My Blindfold technique is still a work in progress!
I know you're well aware of that yourself!
I may be able to conceal the presence of buildings and people, their scent,
but it's not like I can mask their very existence!
The greater our numbers, the more traces we'll leave,
and the greater the odds that Kibutsuji will discover us!
Those demons got this close to us,
yet there was no scent until we came under attack!
That was Yushiro's Blood Demon Art, huh?
Anyone who ruins the time I spend alone with you...
I despise such people!
I despise them with passion!
It's unforgivable!
Hey, he's babbling!
What fun this is!
To be killed by me, one of the Twelve Demon Moons...
You should be honored!
Twelve Demon Moons?
They serve directly under Kibutsuji!
She grew more arms!
Now then, let's keep playing!
Until morning comes!
Until you die!
If I were to cast my spell now,
it would affect Tanjiro, as well.
And Yushiro needs time to prepare to switch to attack mode.
But if this goes on...
There it is again!
Even without hitting anything, they changed trajectory!
If I go ahead and slash them, it blunts the blow,
but then they hit me anyway!
Two different scents of blood.
There are two demons!
Their scent tells me where they are!
But...
Miss Tamayo! Yushiro!
It's no good!
I don't have time to protect them!
We'll be healed soon enough!
So don't worry!
Hey! Moron demon hunter!
If you look at the arrows, you can tell which direction they're going!
Dodge the arrows!
Arrows?
Seriously, you can't even see them?
I'm going to lend you my sense of sight!
That should at least enable you to behead that temari woman!
I can see now!
She was using these arrows to control...
...the trajectory of the temari!
Thanks, Yushiro!
I can see the arrows now, too!
Then, hurry up and defeat her!
Nezuko!
Nezuko, let's go outside!
Take care of the demon up in the tree!
I'm the one you want to take on!
The demon hunter wearing hanafuda-like earrings...
No question.
I'm going to bring that head of yours to him.
What fun this is!
Nezuko, how much longer?
They're gone!
Water Breathing...
Third Form, Flowing Dance!
Miss Tamayo!
Are these two demons closely related to Kibutsuji?
Most likely.
Then, I'm going to extract blood from them for sure!
DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA
I have two favors to ask of you.
One, permission to study your sister's blood.
Two, to retrieve blood samples from demons
as closely related to Kibutsuji as possible.
By "demons closely related to Kibutsuji,"
I meant demons whose powers are more on par with that of Kibutsuji himself.
It won't be easy to extract blood from such demons.
Third Form, Flowing Dance!
Miss Tamayo!
Are these two demons closely related to Kibutsuji?
Most likely.
You think you're going to extract blood from us?
I don't know what you're scheming,
but I won't allow you to do anything to displease him!
If you think you can extract blood from us Twelve Demon Moons,
then have at it!
Watch your back!
Don't let your guard down for a second!
If those two really are Twelve Demon Moons,
then they're undeniably more formidable than any other demon you've killed until now!
Right! Understood!
Watch my back, don't let my guard down for a second,
undeniably...
until now...
Right! I'll do my best!
Lady Tamayo!
Let's use those two as decoys and escape!
I'm just kidding!
Don't stir up dust like that.
So filthy!
She grew new arms in such a short time!
She can regenerate way faster than those Final Selection demons!
I'm going to bring that head of yours to him.
Nezuko!
Now then, why don't you both die at once?
Are you okay, Nezuko?
Hey, Demon Hunter!
You get rid of that arrow man first!
We'll take on the temari woman with your sister!
Understood!
Nezuko, whatever you do, don't push yourself too hard.
I'm counting on you.
I swear...
I'm going to extract their blood!
If it means the medicine will be perfected even a minute sooner,
I'll gladly fight any demon!
I'll fight and win!
There it is!
Opening Thread!
What a grimy little urchin you are.
You stay away from me!
The thread snapped!
This hurts! I mean this really...
It seriously hurts!
A move!
Unleash a move to blunt the attack!
Eighth Form,
Waterfall Basin!
He vanished?
You hurt Lady Tamayo!
I'll never forgive you for that!
Tamayo?
Hey, Susamaru, the one over there...
Wouldn't that be Tamayo the Fugitive?
What a great souvenir she'll make!
Is that right?
Idiot!
You mustn't kick it!
What fun this is!
I like kemari, too!
Yahaba!
Will four heads be enough to take home?
No. We're taking two.
The demon hunter and the fugitive.
We have no use for the other two.
Nezuko...
The bleeding isn't stopping instantly.
She's recovering so slowly.
This medicine will help heal your leg right away, all right?
What should I do?
I can't lose no matter what!
But even if I can see the Opening Thread, it won't be easy to slash him!
Any move would be pointless
unless I can land my blow in the opening with pinpoint accuracy!
If I'm off by even a little, the move won't be nearly as potent!
He'll only change the sword's direction using his arrow skills!
And I hate to say it,
but those eyeballs on his hands are creepy!
Though I hate to say it!
The speed of this arrow!
It's not going to disappear until it hits me!
And I can't slash it with my sword!
The instant the blade touches it,
I'll get blasted away in the arrow's direction!
What should I do?
It's all going the way I want it to!
Your arm's going to get twisted right off!
So, you eluded it by spinning in the same direction as the Kouketsu Arrow?
Damn monkey!
I can't take much more of his attacks!
I gotta strike back!
I gotta change the arrow's direction without touching it directly!
It's about time for you to die!
Adapt your moves!
First, use the Sixth Form to envelope the arrow!
Then use the footwork of the Third Form...
to close in on him!
Twist!
Envelope!
Twisting Whirlpool-Flowing Water!
My sword's so heavy!
But...
Second Form...
Modified!
Horizontal Water Wheel!
PREVIEW
RUSTLE RUSTLE
Those are some powerful demons!
Those temari-and-arrow combination attacks are giving me so much trouble!
Are you okay, Nezuko?
Today, I have a Taisho secret for you about those demons!
Those two, Yahaba and Susamaru, met for the first time today.
I hear that they became friends chatting with each other on their way here.
I can't believe how much in sync they are when they only just met!
Well, we can't let them beat us!
Nezuko, let's practice our teamwork!
First Form!
Second Form!
Third Form!
Looking good, Nezuko!
Next, Episode 10, "Together Forever."
I'm leaving the temari woman to you!
Let's fight together!
