1
Is Nez cut off, or is he - does he nickname her and never use that nickname ever again?
2
Tanjiro, you fuck!
3
What are you doing?
4
You stealing my charcoal again?
5
I'll call the fucking police on your ass and have one last melt to feed!
6
Give me that coal dust back!
7
Oh, Mom!
8
I'm just gathering this charcoal to sell in town so we'll have money for a family dinner!
9
Eee, get money for a family dinner!
10
Shut the fuck up, Tanjiro!
11
If you bring any money back, I'll use it on drugs!
12
Mom, I know we don't have a lot, but I'm grateful we're all happy.
13
Who the fuck is we, Tanjiro?
14
You horning the happy bro?
15
I'll cut you!
16
I'll cut you like a dirt fish!
17
Please, brother.
18
I have clinical depression.
19
Share some of the happy.
20
Both of you, stop it.
21
He's probably just playing a cruel prank, like the asshole I taught him to be.
22
Jeez, guys.
23
You're laying the love on too thick.
24
I love you guys, too.
25
Goodbye, everyone!
26
Sup, nerd?
27
Hey, Nezuko.
28
The family is extra feisty today.
29
I think they're excited for dinner later.
30
Wait, we finally get real food?
31
No more scavenging?
32
Well, it's the anniversary of Dad's death, and Mom wanted to celebrate.
33
Oh, what?
34
I thought it was your turn to leech sit.
35
Rokuta over here broke into a house down the road, and I had to wrestle him away from their cat.
36
This was the next best thing to cause.
37
Try to take care of him for me.
38
Hope you guys don't miss me too much!
39
You have to leave for us to miss you!
40
Whew!
41
I didn't think it'd take me the whole night to get everything.
42
Hope the family isn't starving to death!
43
OH MY GOD!
44
They look so hungry!
45
No!
46
How could I let this all happen?
47
Don't worry, Nezuko.
48
I'll fix this.
49
Do you really want to share a death anniversary with Dad? And Mom?
50
And Rogue to Hanako Takeo and Shigeru!
51
Oh jeez, today's a bad day.
52
Ow!
53
Calm down!
54
Nezuko?
55
Nezuko?
56
Nezuko, are you okay?
57
I'm sorry, I - I know I let you down,
58
but I can't make it right if I'm dead!
59
We're all we have left, Mesuko!
60
Please!
61
Hey!
62
You get away!
63
Hi.
64
Uh, yes, yes, hello.
65
You get away from my sister! That?
66
That's not your sister.
67
It is!
68
We're related by blood and everything!
69
Then why is she struggling?
70
We come from trouble, sir!
71
That's all she knows!
72
I'm sorry.
73
She's a demon.
74
Now's not the time for hilarious jokes!
75
Huh?
76
Huh?
77
Huh?
78
Huh?
79
Ah!
80
Ah!
81
Ah!
82
Nasuko!
83
Sorry.
84
For everyone's safety, she has to die.
85
Give her back!
86
No. I won't let you - Are you serious?
87
You can't even die right?
88
Oh my god, at least avenge us then.
89
Your sister deserves better than this shit.
90
If only Takeo had lived, he would have at least bit that guy's hand a few times.
91
Get ducked, Tanjiro!
92
Woo!
93
You're awake.
94
What happened?
95
You charged in, threw a hatchet at me, and got knocked out.
96
But then your sister uttered a word, a single word of wisdom that shook me to my core.
97
Never in my life have I witnessed such elegance.
98
I was moved to tears.
99
Really?
100
No, you peed your pants and passed out, but your sister did defend you.
101
After laughing at you.
102
So the Nezuko I knew is still inside after all!
103
I believe there may be some humanity left in her, yes.
104
Go find my old master, Orokodaki.
105
He'll lead the 12 -step program for your recovery from being a nerd.
106
Also, please make sure to keep your sister from direct sunlight.
107
Oh, and don't feed her after midnight.
108
Actually, ever.
109
Don't -don't feed her ever.
110
Alright, keep it frosty.
111
Hey, Nezuko!
112
I know we haven't talked since the, uh, the incident, but I hope you're okay.
113
I'm just worried because, you know, you dug a four and a half foot hole in the ground and you're glowering at me out of it.
114
And I do it again, bitch boy!
115
You're being so insensitive right now!
116
Why'd this have to happen to me?
117
If you ask me, Rokuta had it too good for too long.
118
That tiny mucus distributor should have been demonized.
119
Aw, Nezuko.
120
Why are you grumping?
121
Uh, I get it.
122
He can't understand me, and there's no way I can voice my thoughts.
123
I've finally reached womanhood in Taisho era Japan.
124
Would giving you a gift make you feel better?
125
You know who's gonna want presents?
126
I know we lost everything a bit ago, so I wanted to make you this.
127
Ta -da!
128
Basket!
129
It can kind of double as a mobile house for you.
130
You don't like basket?
131
What's wrong with it?
132
I think I did a pretty good job on it.
133
You call that tacky work a good job?
134
I wouldn't be caught dead cruising inside of that.
135
Besides, you know I haven't lived in a mobile home since Mom got a phobium.
136
Oh, I get it.
137
You must still be weak from our fight earlier.
138
We'll just stay here for now.
139
What?
140
You think I can't fit that basket?
141
I am the pinnacle of physicality!
142
Close enough.
143
Showed you, Tan -Gyro!
144
That must have made the basket too small.
145
I'll remake it.
146
Stop body shaming me, you fucking bully!
147
Look at how petite and spelt I am!
148
There!
149
Bevel showed you!
150
Wow, you did it!
151
Great job, Nezuko!
152
Yeah, I earned this.
153
Mount Sugiri?
154
Oh, why, that's the home of that Orokodaki fellow.
155
It's just over the mountain.
156
You can't miss it.
157
Thank you for the directions.
158
I'll make sure to give him your regards.
159
No!
160
No, that won't be necessary.
161
Have a safe trip.
162
Take notes, son.
163
That is what a dead man looks like.
164
Oh, hey, a temple!
165
You know what they say about temples with their lights on.
166
Temple with a light, you can stay the night.
167
That's a creepy saying.
168
But I'd much rather mooch off some kindly priest than sleep in this basket.
169
So, I'm completely prepared to trespass.
170
Blood!
171
Someone in that temple is hurt!
172
Maybe it's not too late to save them!
173
hello kind meatbag i mean stranger what uh seems to be the problem
174
oh this well my uh my friends and i were just playing twister
175
but i accidentally tripped and my mouth made contact with their flesh repeatedly because they were delicious
176
Okay, screw this.
177
I'm just gonna kill you.
178
AAAAAAAH!
179
Geez, mister!
180
I've played a few games of Twister in my day, but your house rules are crazy!
181
I lied about the Twister, you idiot!
182
I'm a demon!
183
I chowed down on those priests and you're concerned that I lied?!
184
Priorities, kid!
185
You killed those priests?!
186
But accidentally though, right?
187
Right?
188
Maybe.
189
But you just tried to slit my throat with your axe.
190
It should be just about healed.
191
Nezuko, run!
192
He's too powerful for us!
193
She's a demon, too.
194
Obviously, she's more concerned about her next meal.
195
We're so much.
196
It doesn't count that we took a fight first, right?
197
You're done for, kid.
198
Desuko, have you always been this strong?
199
Fools.
200
Little do they know that I have a secret weapon - OH GOD DAMN IT!
201
Okay, small setback, but these fools will never expect my ace in the hole.
202
That fight sure had a lot of twists and turns.
203
You kicked that demon like a soccer ball, and then he grew arms from his neck,
204
and then he started going on about how he fucked our mom.
205
It's like, come on, man.
206
She's dead.
207
Jerk face. Do it.
208
Kill him.
209
You can't do this.
210
You're right.
211
He's a living being with feelings like you and me.
212
It wouldn't be ethical.
213
Ethics?
214
Feelings?
215
Bold of you to assume I have those.
216
What I mean is that tiny dagger won't do the job.
217
Use your head, boy!
218
It didn't work, sir!
219
Do it again.
220
Till he dies.
221
I don't want to kill him, but I know I have to because this crazy old stranger says so.
222
I'll put him out of his misery humanely.
223
By bashing in his skull repeatedly with this rock.
224
Uh, huh?
225
What the hell happened?
226
I don't remember anything after that whole...
227
I fucked your mom bit.
228
Oh hey, the sun is out.
229
Wait, what about the sun?
230
OH GOD!
231
No!
232
No!
233
Wow, I can't believe it only took that much sun to incinerate him.
234
I'm so glad it's over though, right guys?
235
Guys?
236
Oh no, did the sun take you away too?
237
Thank goodness you're safe, Nezuko.
238
The sun is dangerous for you too, isn't it?
239
Leave me in the dark.
240
If anyone asks, tell them I'm gone.
241
I never got a chance to thank you for trying to give me the nerve back there, or to introduce myself.
242
My name is Tanjiro Kamado, and my sister is Nezuko - Pita, Gurgly, and Dinko.
243
Those were their names.
244
Oh, were you close with those priests?
245
They were my best customers.
246
I came today to deliver more stock because they ran out.
247
If only I'd gotten here sooner.
248
I brought sage for them to burn to ward off evil spirits.
249
Instead, in their desperation, the fool's bird cardamom!
250
Everyone knows cardamom's for weight loss!
251
It doesn't protect you at all!
252
Hmm, it seems your face has gotten bruised.
253
Some lavender frankincense and cypress oil will clear that right up.
254
Uh, can you please just tell me where Orokodaki is, sir?
255
Orokodaki, eh?
256
That's a name I've not heard in some time.
257
Now I cannot guide you to Orokodaki, that man is too dangerous.
258
Legends say he has grown mad in his old age, running around in a cloud -themed tunic, wearing a goblin mask, and selling essential oils.
259
Now I don't know where Orokodaki is, but I can take you to him.
260
Follow me! Is this it?
261
Alas, no. That madman Rokidaki lives deep within the secluded mountain forest.
262
The path ahead is far too dangerous for your sister.
263
You should leave her here in this rust house for now.
264
Well, if the path ahead is dangerous, I still don't feel good leaving her alone like this.
265
I'll be back soon, Nezuko.
266
Are we almost there, sir?
267
Oh, surely not.
268
Rokidaki lives in a small rest house at the base of this mountain.
269
Wait, we put Nezuko in a rest house at the base of the...
270
That was Rokidaki's house?
271
Good luck.
272
Oh, when I get back to Rokidaki's house, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind.
273
AH!
274
Well, that.. wasn't neighborly.
275
But it's probably the last of the traps.
276
If I can just get out of here, I can...
277
Oh, no.
278
Why, hello there, young man.
279
I don't believe we've met before.
280
My name is Sakoji Irokodaki.
281
Please, come in.
282
Anachaleptic?
283
I knew that kid wasn't all there.
284
Not like me.
285
Hey, you want some popcorn?
286
Dear Nezuko, you've been asleep for a long time.
287
I want you to know I've been working hard for you, so I'm writing these letters for when you wake up.
288
Irokodaki's been trying to replace you with a couch.
289
If you couldn't tell, that man is insane.
290
I've been training under him non -stop, swinging swords and dodging traps.
291
Really, it's only given me a crippling fear of lavender.
292
Recently, he kicked me off of a waterfall.
293
I was unconscious for five minutes.
294
There is hope, though.
295
He says that tomorrow's lesson will be really easy.
296
For today's lesson...
297
I will teach you how to breathe.
298
I already know how to breathe.
299
I'm doing it right now.
300
So I wouldn't forget how I've been manually breathing since I was six.
301
Is that so?
302
Show me.
303
Show me this breathing you've allegedly mastered.
304
That's quite an advanced technique for a rookie like yourself.
305
Dear Nezuko...
306
I THINK THIS GUY IS TRYING TO KILL ME!
307
He keeps punching me in the gut and making me strike weird poses!
308
We finally got a doctor to see you, but he recommended more strong yellow light, because your body vibrations were off!
309
What vibrations?
310
You're comatose!
311
I just want this insanity to END!
312
I've taught you everything I know.
313
You are now free to go. Because you have failed.
314
Also, there's no way to cure your sister's narcolepsy.
315
It runs too strong in your family.
316
Narcolepsy?
317
No, I wanted to restore her humanity.
318
Oh!
319
Yeah, there's no way to do that either.
320
Also, wait, what do you mean I failed?
321
Well, of course I would pass you.
322
Sadly, these decisions aren't up to me.
323
The Rock decides these things.
324
The Rock?
325
The Rock!
326
It's not even remotely sliced in half.
327
What have you been doing this whole time?
328
What you've been telling me to do!
329
You've been listening to the ramblings of some old coot?
330
Anyway, slice Rocky the Rock, or you'll never become a Demon Slayer.
331
Demon Slayer?
332
What even is that?
333
Now don't go easy on Rocky, just because he's my only friend, I believe in you.
334
And stay safe out here.
335
That Rokidaki fellow is still large.
336
Just like that, he was gone.
337
I found myself face to face with the most treacherous foe I'd come against so far.
338
And he kicked my ass.
339
Month after month, I cut, and cut, and cut, and cried, and then cut some more.
340
I had nothing to show for it except battle wounds.
341
Until one day...
342
Come on, head, be good for something!
343
Don't be a crybaby.
344
Be a dude, bro.
345
Your tear ducts are not among your core muscle groups.
346
This is, like, gnarly to witness.
347
Like, the bad gnarly.
348
Bruh.
349
Who are you?
350
And why can't I smell you?
351
Bruh.
352
Too soon.
353
Nobody smells me until the third date, bruh.
354
Ouch!
355
Why'd you just kick me?
356
Because, despite being the ideal shape for rolling, Rocky here is no pushover.
357
Gotta sweat out those tears. With calisthenics. And pain.
358
Lots and lots of pain, bruh.
359
Not everybody makes it out alive.
360
You gotta be muy serioso, compadre.
361
If you want to be a demon slayer.
362
I still don't know what a demon slayer is!
363
That's a real kodaki for you.
364
I'm gonna tell it to you straight, bro.
365
Being a demon slayer is like, whoop -ah!
366
Take your sword.
367
It's totally slay, bro.
368
It's slay.
369
I still don't.. what?
370
Let me show you.
371
Do you understand what it means to be a demon slayer now?
372
Whoop -ah!
373
I'm afraid he cannot be taught, Bracomo.
374
He's not ready.
375
I thought I told you to stop calling me that.
376
Hi.
377
How you feeling?
378
Did you see that?
379
That ginger kid was so fast!
380
The way he hit me was great!
381
I want to do that too!
382
Okay, you're better.
383
Sorry.
384
My name is Tanjiro.
385
What's your name, small stranger?
386
I'm Makomo.
387
I'm the brains of this operation.
388
The dude bro that hit you was Sabito.
389
He must be the brawns of the operation.
390
No, I'm also the brawn.
391
He helps.
392
He moved so fast!
393
I tried to fight back using everything Orokodaki taught me, but - Oh, you've been trained by Orokodaki.
394
You poor, poor thing.
395
That quack's too cryptic, he'll just get you killed.
396
Allow me to explain what you need to know.
397
Makomo helped me realize I did everything wrong.
398
I was so bad.
399
She corrected me and taught me everything I was missing from my training.
400
Like actual training.
401
And six months later, Judgment Day had arrived.
402
Despite the fact that this is most decidedly training, no more training wheels, brah.
403
Wait, is that a real sword?
404
Yeah, brah.
405
Isn't it sick?
406
It is indeed sick.
407
Perhaps you'd like to see mine.
408
It is very healthy.
409
Oh my god, just fight already! That was beautiful, brah.
410
I'm supes proud of you.
411
I'm holding back manly tears.
412
Well done, Tanjiro.
413
I taught you well.
414
Sabito and Makomo faded with the mist, and where Sabito stood, I saw my great but terrible deed.
415
I did it.
416
I killed Rocky.
417
You son of a bitch!
418
You killed Rocky!
419
But you told me to.
420
I didn't know such thing!
421
Rocky was my fourth best customer!
422
They must have been that whack job, Rokidaki.
423
He's had a grudge against
424
Rocky for years!
425
Let's not dilly -dally, child.
426
We need camphor oil, eucalyptus, vetiver, frankincense, and sandalwood!
427
If we don't bless the body, we'll be stuck with this ghost.
428
God, I hate ghosts.
429
Who do they think they are?
430
Glad there's none here.
431
Oh.
432
Then, uh, what should I do now?
433
Ah, Tanjiro, my boy!
434
I see you've killed Rocky!
435
I've had a grudge against him for years.
436
Go to Mount Fujikasane for the Final Selection.
437
Yes, joining the Demon Slayer Corps will surely give you the mental fortitude you need.
438
What's Final Selection?
439
This is the first I'm hearing of this!
440
My boy, that's because you listened to my words but failed to listen to my spirit.
441
Now, my ghost, my spirit.
442
They're different.
443
Now go!
444
Go!
445
You'll know what you must do!
446
What about my sister?
447
I haven't seen her in nearly two years!
448
Has she been asleep this whole time?
449
All you do is blah, blah, blah.
450
Just go!
451
It sure was nice of a Rokudaki to give me new clothes.
452
And a bath.
453
What a beautiful resort to vacation in.
454
Look at these flowers.
455
The color is lavender, but the scent is wisteria.
456
Other people!
457
Heavily scarred, very dirty other people.
458
Am I the only one that's had a bath?
459
And why does everyone have swords?
460
Hello.
461
I'm glad you all made it to play with us.
462
The game is, Who Can Narrowly Evade Death?
463
The brochure didn't mention anything about death!
464
I'm gonna have to leave a sternly worded review about - The Narrowly Evade Death game is played like this.
465
Survive for seven days and make it to the other side of the forest, where there are more risteria trees.
466
The only thing in your way will be the demons, as well as the lack of any other basic necessities.
467
This is a standard job simulation.
468
Don't look more into it.
469
Once you make it out on the other side, we will initiate you as demon slayers.
470
Good luck.
471
You know what?
472
This is on me for trusting Orokodaki.
473
Ah!
474
What is that?
475
I would have even preferred the lavender to this!
476
Ah!
477
Keep away!
478
I don't want to be your friend!
479
What is that?
480
A demon?
481
Can demons even look like that?
482
I'll eat your joy and me!
483
Won't you go to my tummy?
484
Please, let me live!
485
With an om -nom -nom and me turning you to go!
486
Won't you say you love me too?
487
Oh god, it's gonna eat me!
488
Our play date isn't over yet!
489
Come back, friends!
490
Hey, who cut off my wound? That mask!
491
Orokodaki sent you for me, didn't he?
492
How do you know Orokodaki?
493
Orokodaki is my best friend.
494
I know, because he keeps sending me new friends.
495
My new friend.
496
That doesn't seem like Orokodaki.
497
But then again, neither does Orokodaki.
498
Now, I told you to be a friendly friend.
499
Get in my belly!
500
That's not how you treat your friends!
501
Friends die when they're eaten!
502
And that's wrong!
503
Okay, we can try your way, but let's try my way first.
504
Well, okay.
505
Fair's fair.
506
Wait...
507
You told Tantra not to fight the hand demon guy that killed us, right?
508
No. Why would I deny him that challenge?
509
Besides, he has calisthenics on his side!
510
Calisthenics didn't save us!
511
You're not believing hard enough, Bakalbro.
512
But he crushed your head!
513
You need to believe, like Tanjiro does.
514
His training has turned him into a Manjiro.
515
Well, I get the feeling we'll be meeting him again real soon.
516
Bro, are we gonna be the three Amigos?
517
Sick!
518
God, I hope he fucking dies, man.
519
Oh my god, I feel so bad.
520
This looks really serious.
521
Bye!
522
You remind me of my two special friends, Sabito and Makamo.
523
They're where the nummiest friends are of the Daki Sentinel.
524
But don't feel bad!
525
I'm sure you're yummy in your own way!
526
What's wrong, new friend?
527
I just want somebody to hold my hand!
528
Savito and Makomo!
529
He killed them?
530
I can't let him take another innocent life!
531
No matter how friendly he is!
532
Whoa!
533
Below me?
534
Was that a distraction?
535
What?
536
You dodged my super hammer surprise, Huggies?
537
God damn you!
538
I'ma plop you like a silly balloon!
539
This one's practically making a blue line for my chopping now.
540
First form!
541
What?
542
Water circuit!
543
Flash!
544
Oh no!
545
Whoa!
546
Whoa!
547
I don't want my playtime to act.
548
I just want somebody to hold my little hand.
549
Is that so nice to ask? That smell.
550
He's lonely.
551
It reminds me of home.
552
Maybe I went a bit overboard.
553
I can't just turn him down while he's dying.
554
I'll just wash my hands after.
555
I did it, Makomo.
556
Sabito.
557
Now, I'm ready to become a demon slayer.
558
Whatever that means.
559
wait where's everyone else do they get to go home early
560

561
i can tell she must be a super complex person pretty this sucks
562

563

564
Either way, I'm dead when I have to accept a mission.
565
Welcome, everyone.
566
Congratulations on surviving the forest.
567
You will all be awarded a Kasugai Crow to receive assignments.
568
You will now be promoted to the rank of Mizumoto.
569
Please allow us to explain the Demon Slayer core ranks in great detail.
570
My crow looks wrong and dumb.
571
I don't like it.
572
Get off of me, you filthy pest!
573
Who cares about all that ranking crap?
574
Just give me my sword!
575
You know, the thing to kill demons with?
576
The thing that demon slayers do?
577
GIMME!
578
The ring above Mizunodo is Mizuno.
579
Did you not hear me?
580
I want it in pink! And after Mizuno is...
581
What do you think you're doing?
582
I have no idea how a demon slayer is supposed to act.
583
But if you don't let go right now, I will politely break your arm.
584
Oh, really now?
585
Well, let's see you try, big guy.
586
And we can't forget about everyone's favorite rank, Konoto.
587
Gah!
588
Dammit, I think you broke my arm!
589
Now I'm gonna need a Kaz!
590
It better be a pink one!
591
On to choosing swords.
592
Goddammit!
593
Choose wisely.
594
One of those ores is poisoned.
595
Oh, thank god I'm gonna kill myself tonight.
596
I wasn't gonna eat it, though.
597
A wise choice.
598
You may choose first I've been through so much
599
Barely made it out alive
600
My master's a lunatic, my sister's a demon, and I'm starting to think

605

606

607
Whoa, where'd that come from?
608

609
I'll just regular hug him.
610
Nezuko!
611
I thought you were never going to wake up!
612
I'm glad that in spite of everything Orokodaki did, we both made it out okay!
613
My protégé.
614
Oh god, is that him?
615
You made it back home.
616
You survived final selection.

My plan has come to fruition.

The two of you are now my living weapons.

My legacy is secured.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
