1
I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY!
2
I KNEW I DIDN'T KILL THOSE KIDS!
3
Now that you're back from Final Selection, I need to speak to you man to man.
4
That's why I've waited until 3 AM, the Witcher's Hour, and locked your sister behind that sliding wood door!
5
Let me out of here so I can teach you a lesson, old man!
6
If you have the guts!
7
I slept for two years!
8
I'm more wired than mom after her happy smoke!
9
Uh, yes, thank you, Orokodaki, but I think I'd just like to take my sister and go, because...
10
Honestly?
11
I felt safer on the mountain.
12
You know, the one filled with demons?
13
You remember the demons!
14
They remembered you by name.
15
One said it was your best friend.
16
That's fine.
17
You could be a quitter.
18
But if you leave now, You'll never get a really cool sword!
19
You can't just bribe me with weaponry, I-- Plus, you'll never know what it means to be a demon slayer.
20
I know it's a sunk cost fallacy and all, but...
21
I did train for two years, what's a few more days?
22
HAHAHAHAHA!
23
I knew you'd see it my way!
24
Curiosity killed the kid after all!
25
You mean cat?
26
Please, mean cat!
27
Ah, no thanks, I'm allergic.
28
Anyways, my contact, Haagen -Dazs, will be here in the morning.
29
Well...
30
Later morning, like 10 AM!
31
People say he looks almost exactly like I did when I was his age.
32
So don't be overwhelmed by his dashing good looks.
33
Hanging Ten is a renowned swordsmith.
34
Wow!
35
I can't wait until exactly 10 :00 a .m today!
36
Thank you.
37
Oh, hello there!
38
You must be Haagen -Dazs!
39
Hageneska.
40
I'm here to report that I lost the package.
41
The sword?
42
But.. don't you have it on your back?
43
You didn't let me finish.
44
Okay, sorry.
45
- Are you going to finish?
46
While I was traveling through the woods, I was set upon by a ravenous demon.
47
I was able to get away safely, but it took not only one of my cherished swords I spent so long crafting, but even the spare I made just in case such a thing happened
48
All for nothing since the crazy bastard chipped them both.
49
Now there's a crazed boar demon running around with two swords.
50
Who knows what horrors it'll bring upon the land.
51
Oh.
52
Wow, yeah, that's...
53
That's terrible!
54
Well, since there's no sword, I guess I'll just go back to a quiet life and not become a - Luckily, I crafted a third sword for just such an occasion.
55
No need to thank me.
56
Payment for all three swords will be enough thanks.
57
Listen, sir, I saturated the coal market in my day, so...
58
I respect your hustle.
59
But I've had a significant amount of trauma since then, so I'm gonna have to ask: Are you fudge -sticky kidding me?!
60
Pay extra?!
61
I didn't know I was paying to begin with!
62
Yeah, that's on you, kid!
63
All five of my best customers are dead!
64
And I just had to pay for Rocky's funeral!
65
Do you have any idea how expensive a boulder -sized coffin is?!
66
After informing Haganeska that I had exactly 3 yen to my name, he screamed for 45 minutes straight, but eventually agreed to waive the fee.
67
This is a Nichirin sword.
68
It's made from the sun and kills demons.
69
It's sunny to demons.
70
Sunny Demons.
71
Sunny D, if you will.
72
Okay, I - All of the pain
73
and suffering I've been through will be worth it if I can see this sword turn bright red.
74
I really have a good feeling about this.
75
Red is my favorite color.
76
Okay, that sounds real cool, but like - Honestly, I think if one more bad thing happens, I'll just...
77
SNAP! But have no fear!
78
I know you won't disappoint me.
79
It'll be all the reward I need to see that smile on your face and that shining red blade.
80
Huh, it's black.
81
Oh, it goes with everything now.
82
Tanjuro, my boy!
83
You've done it!
84
That sword is now completely worthless.
85
No collector would ever buy it now, as the wielder of the Black Blade is cursed to die.
86
Die?
87
How? When?
88
You name it.
89
A sword wound, a terrible accident, even old age!
90
You'll never be immortal, unlike me.
91
I'm telling you for ruining my precious thorn!
92
No!
93
The prophecy of the Black Blade has finally come to pass.
94
After surviving my near -death experience, my Kazugai Crow came to give me my first mission.
95
Feed me, shiny ox!
96
CAAA!
97
Also go to the city!
98
There may be demons there or something!
99
CAAA!
100
I.. which city?
101
Where do I...?
102
The demon in the city had something called a blood demon art.
103
And it's not just that the demons are really good at painting or something.
104
Some demons have magic powers.
105
Like, no!
106
Just being a demon wasn't good enough.
107
It's not enough to be evil and strong.
108
All I have is good smell, a discolored katana, and a disability that makes me see sword fighting as pretty colors.
109
Thankfully, my good sense of smell made the demon's superpowers and Nye Immortality irrelevant.
110
AHHHHH!
111
You stabbed me in the fucking neck!
112
AHHHHH!
113
You don't understand?
114
All I ever wanted to do was kidnap and eat 16 year old girls and loudly grind my teeth!
115
I'm sorry, I don't have time for this.
116
Hold on!
117
I'm running out of time to finish my tragic backstory!
118
After that, I was on my way to the big city!
119
I suck, sir!
120
otherwise known as the Big Ass.
121
Wowza!
122
When a rocadaki said there'd be lots of people, I thought he meant like 20!
123
And with my limited math skills, I know this is more than all my fingers and toes combined!
124
I bet Nezuko is freaking out even more than me!
125
Damn it, why'd you wake me up?
126
You know I need my demonic beauty sleeper to get real hunky.
127
And you know what I do with thingies when I get real hungry!
128
I need to sleep.
129
Okay, everything here is awful, but maybe we can find a spot that's less...
130
Awful.
131
Like this alleyway!
132
Nothing bad happens in the alleyway!
133
Hey, you brought your girl too?
134
Nice.
135
This is my sister!
136
Please don't be weird!
137
Huh?
138
What's the deal, kid?
139
What's your major malfunction?
140
Why you got a scarf on your head?
141
Why you got a scar on your head?
142
You know what?
143
Just tell me your star sign.
144
Nope, not just that.
145
You're big three.
146
Can I just get some food, please?
147
Oh, yeah!
148
I sell food.
149
Right.
150
At last, I can finally sit down to a nice, refreshing meal.
151
Ah, reminds me of... that smell!
152
It's the same one I smelled when my family was killed!
153
Why is it here of all places?
154
Where is it coming from?
155
A person?
156
A demon?!
157
Or something worse.
158
You!
159
Sir!
160
Why do you smell like my dead family?
161
Why sir?
162
Ugh, disgusting!
163
It's talking to me now.
164
Sorry, I don't have any spare change, small vagrant.
165
Betty, is this paw talking to you?
166
Oh no, Sugi Hiko!
167
It touched your coat!
168
What do I miss?
169
We'll have to burn it.
170
M -me or the co?
171
How can this monster just casually live with a normal human family?
172
Don't they know he can just eat them like cocktail weenies at any moment?
173
Sadly, it seems it may be incapable of communication or higher thought.
174
The education system has failed yet another.
175
The poor thing is mostly just grunting.
176
Tell me, dear, do you see any police around?
177
Afraid not, darling!
178
Must be off wasting taxpayer money instead of harassing the poor like they're supposed to!
179
Right.
180
Excuse me, Mr. Gutter -Snipe.
181
I'm sure your limited faculties have already alerted you to the fact that we are your betters.
182
So please, go back to scrounging for change under a dumpster or whatever it is you occupy yourself with.
183
- Owie!
184
Wow!
185
They sure are making mosquitoes big!
186
These.. days...
187
Oh, goodness!
188
Could a little bite hurt that much?
189
Rackle -freckle!
190
AHHHHH!
191
I didn't need a demonstration!
192
Whoa -ho, those two are getting freaky!
193
You know the rules, take it to the alley.
194
RAAAGH!
195
I'm sorry, sir, but I'm gonna need you to politely put a sock in it!
196
EEEEET!
197
Hmm?
198
Everyone listen!
199
This is no ordinary freak session, as you call it.
200
This man has been turned into a demon!
201
Sounds like me on a Wednesday afternoon.
202
You know what I mean?
203
These guys know what I'm talking about.
204
Hey, y 'all!
205
Daddy, the paws are wrestling in the dirty road.
206
That's what the horses do do!
207
It's still pony times, Daddy!
208
Yes, because they are homeless.
209
They do everything in the street.
210
You're running away?!
211
How dare you!
212
You think you're some sort of smooth criminal!
213
Why are we leaving, darling?
214
I thought you enjoyed watching the poor tussle.
215
No, no, it's fine.
216
Let's just go.
217
Now.
218
Right now.
219
Yeah.
220
I'll dab my fist into your dirty diana till you scream!
221
It'll be the last time you ever see the light of day!
222
You hear me?
223
Wee -woo, wee -woo, wee -woo, wee -woo!
224
No -no square alert!
225
We got a category three no -no square infraction.
226
Oh good!
227
The police!
228
Now the situation can be peacefully resolved!
229
He's resisting!
230
I'm pulling out the squeaky hammer.
231
Ah!
232
Stop!
233
It doesn't hurt, but it's very annoying!
234
It's working, mate!
235
We're killing the moon with excessive force!
236
We won't, motherfucker!
237
We won't!
238
We won't!
239
Please!
240
If you don't bring me something to restrain this man with, he'll get loose and hurt someone!
241
I don't care what you're into.
242
I think that's about enough.
243
Wee -woo!
244
Oh no, I'm highly allergic to pollen!
245
Gah!
246
I'm a demon.
247
Please, come with us.
248
I'll explain everything.
249
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
250
Okay!
251
Alright you two head on home.
252
Daddy has some things to take care of in the alley.
253
Places to go, people to kill.
254
Alright Sookie here you go, but don't you go bringing home any other spouses!
255
Hohohoho!
256
How do you know about the other spouses?
257
We'll talk later.
258
Head home for now, cherish your final moments.
259
Take them away from me.
260
Yay!
261
Final moments!
262
Woosh!
263
Ha ha!
264
This is what a tornado looks like!
265
They really do me like that.
266
Oop!
267
Whoops, sorry there man, I'm drunk.
268
Must not see where I was going.
269
I'm so slosh I can barely feel my fingers.
270
Oh no!
271
He's the dead!
272
Hey!
273
As his older brother...
274
He totally deserved that.
275
I take full responsibility for this and I want to sincerely apologize for - You know...
276
I was having such a good day today.
277
Wait...
278
How many families do you have?
279
Anna was finally able to eat Family 3 after they finished being useful.
280
But all of that turned into shit the moment I met that kid with those earrings.
281
And to say I wouldn't see the light of day again?
282
Who does that soot covered brat think he's talking to?
283
I'm Muzon Kibbutz Tsuji.
284
My name alone brings fear to even my own demon kin!
285
- Okay, what are you doing with your face?
286
- With just a little bit of my blood, I can make the person become closer to perfection.
287
- Oh god, the pain!
288
I feel my flesh melting!
289
Oh.
290
I may have gone a bit overboard on that one.
291
Unless...
292
He's a blood demon art being a puddle?
293
Yeah, okay, go with that.
294
Okay, you guys showed up too fast.
295
Were you stalking me?
296
Yes, Lord Muzan!
297
I like the part where you kick that guy!
298
If you value your lives, then you saw nothing.
299
My eyes are in my hands, Lord Muzan.
300
I saw nothing.
301
I saw everything!
302
But I'm great at lying.
303
Cool.
304
Anyway, bring me that child's head.
305
tonight.
306
The one with the Hanafudo -like earrings.
307
With or without his body, sir?
308
Every second you sit here asking me questions is a second in which you disappoint me.
309
The clock is ticking.
310
Oh shit, book it!
311
I will not have a repeat of last time.
312
The only time I've ever been defeated.
313
Fuck you, Yorichi.
314
You suck.
315
- Some demons, shlong, you fuck man.
316
Wowza!
317
You have a lovely home!
318
Sure, if you like dog houses!
319
I think this dump is where Mom bought her happy smoke.
320
Alright, listen up, fucko.
321
Just because you got an invite here from Lady Tamaio, doesn't mean you get to do as you please.
322
You're on thin ice in this house!
323
Both you and your homely sister.
324
No way this simp just called me homely!
325
If you live in a crack house, you shouldn't throw stones, you twink -nosed feratu!
326
No. Let me lay some ground rules about my lady, AKA the seven deadly don'ts.
327
Don't touch her, don't look at her, don't draw her, don't take her out for picnics, don't write love poems about her, don't dream about your future together!
328
And if you build a shrine in her honor, don't you DARE tell her about it!
329
You know what?
330
You feel even so much as dare to smell her!
331
Aw, that's what I do best.
332
I will break every bone in your dumpy body!
333
I will end your pathetic, miserable life!
334
And thanks to my masterful illusions, no one will ever find your corpse.
335
You got it!
336
Also, could you back up a bit?
337
Alright, I brought the two colorful vagabonds you so wisely requested with your...
338
beautiful voice from your Beautiful mouth.
339
My lady.
340
Yushiro, calm down.
341
Uh...
342
I'm sorry.
343
Welcome, both of you.
344
I hope Yoshiro has not been awful to you.
345
He has, but I don't mind.
346
Has he at least explained why you're here?
347
He mostly threatened me, actually.
348
Yoshiro.
349
You've let me down again.
350
Have you considered that he smells and is stupid and I hate him?!
351
Yushiro?
352
I -I'm sorry again, my lady.
353
As you should be.
354
I am both a demon and a doctor.
355
I was once under the control of a powerful demon named Muzan Kibutsuji, But after...
356
Lady Tomayu began a long -winded expository speech about her past...
357
Thousands of spiked horseshoes...
358
And through her explanation, I learned everything she knew about demon -kind.
359
Incendiary hand grenades hadn't been invented at the time, of course, but I made do with...
360
I learned about Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of all demons.
361
This is, of course, where the flying octopi came into play.
362
And I also learned there was hope yet for my sister.
363
Ravaging every inch of my...
364
I'm sorry, I got sidetracked.
365
Um...
366
Give me a bunch of strong demon blood and I can.. probably cure your sister, assuming she keeps sleeping around and not eating any flesh, of course.
367
I'm not a fan of the way you said that last part, lady!
368
Felt real judgmental from a person who looked like they applied their makeup with a pancake.
369
So this Muzon guy I was squaring up against was the head demon?!
370
Well, if he's still here, we should team up and beat the stuff out of him or something.
371
Right?
372
Oh no. Muzan is a spineless coward.
373
If he sensed any hint of resistance from this town, he'd flee like the craven lowlife he is.
374
Well then I'll just beat him up the next time I see him!
375
Lady Tamio said Muzan was a coward!
376
Not that he wouldn't fold you like a goddamn paper swan!
377
You hapless ingrate!
378
Yushi?
379
Oh shit, she's serious when she pulls that name out!
380
Taijiro, your life is valueless!
381
Protect me with it!
382
a few centuries after parting ways with Muzan.
383
- So that means other demons could end up making their own line of demons?
384
- Mmm, the rules are unclear.
385
But if you're sick as fuck like Lady Tamayo, then anything is possible.
386
Yeah.
387
I approve.
388
Yes!
389
I'm killin' him!
390
So all I have to do is collect high -level demon blood and bring it back to you?
391
And you'll cure my sister?
392
Oh, good.
393
You understand.
394
The last demon slayer I recruited went a little crazy.
395
Started wearing a cloud -themed tunic and selling crystals and essential oils.
396
Actually, I heard you recently lost his best friend.
397
Poor thing.
398
I have no idea what you're talking about!
399
I'll send as many blood samples as I can, ma 'am!
400
Hey!
401
Are you just, like, looking for them?
402
I would be done if some fuck -o demon art didn't create all these weird illusions to mask their footsteps!
403
Dammit, this is gonna take all night.
404
Oh, fuck.
405
Didn't Lord Muzan give us, like, a time limit?
406
No, I assume he meant that as an idiom or something of the sort.
407
Well, it's almost morning.
408
We should probably - Holy shit!
409
I'm gonna - Oh, a small earthquake.
410
Is there something else you had to say, or...?
411
No!
412
It's just that usually things aren't this easy!
413
It's a nice change of pace.
414
Leave.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
