All students , Pro heros and teachers were sitting in theater room and the episode was about to start . All of them have one thing in mind that what are they going to seeing and teachers were hoping that it was not something that would put to much stress on students mind .
The screen start and a Title was shown " Kimetsu no Yaiba " and then came written episode name " Ch -1 Cruelty " . Adults understood what how this Episode was going and they didn't expect much since it was about Demons from what they have been told but students were with different reaction .
Mina asked " I have a feeling something bad is going to be shown .I really don't like the shows that start with sad story ." Ejirio said " Yeah !! But it's not a show Mina , teachers said that it is real history . " She said " I know but I don't like such starts."
They all worried after seeing the title of episode .
" Scene starts with a boy carrying a young girl on his shoulders and she looked injured . Boy was also panting , it could be seen that it was because of carrying the injured girl in his back . He thought and said ' How did this happened ? ' " Nezuko !! Don't die .... Don't die . I'm gonna save , you can't die !! Your big brother is definitely gonna save you !!"
All might said " that girl seems injured ? But how ? " He looked towards his fellow teachers they were also thinking the same thing . Hawks then said " We are told there be demons ,it could she was injuried by Demon but boy saved her but why it boy not looking injuried ? " Tokoyami said " We can only find by watching teacher " Dark shadow agreed " Yes ! he is right , let's watch and find out ."
*Scene Change*
The image then transitioned to a basket of charcoal being lifted . The boy pulled it onto his back with practiced motions , before a voice called out for him " Tanjiro " the teenager turned around to the sound of woman voice .
" So, his name is Tanjiro, huh?" Ashido asked, "I'll admit that he's pretty good looking in a rugged sort of way" she nodded. Izuku noted down the name, before turning his attention back to the screen. Izuku said " and the injuried girl was his sister named Nezuko but this female voice was from a adult must be his mother . "
' A woman dressed in kimono was shown who had gentle smile on her face . She said " Your face is pitch black . Come here . " She then cleaned the charcoal form his face while saying " You don't have to go . It's snowing and dangerous ." But the kid answered saying " I want to have us a great New year's feast . So, I am gonna sell as much charcoal as I can ... Even if little bit . " She thanked him for his hard work for family .'
Ejirio said " man , he just like our age but he seems very mature and hardworking compared to us . So , manly "
Ida nodded and said " Yes , his hardworking nature and love for his family is admiring quality . "
Hagakure said " they seems such a happy family "
And Momoa said " but I don't think it going last much longer , since we saw him carrying his sister . "
They all didn't like what he said but it was true since all saw it too . Teacher and Pro heros were also impressed by Tanjiro hard working nature but Endeavour said " Still ,his mother said that it's dangerous and harsh winter could turn into Storm . Kid should listen to her " Todoroki eyed him after listening his comment .
' Three more kids were shown . One girl and two boys , while girl and younger boy requested Tanjiro to go with him " Tanjiro ,you are going to town again today ? " " I wanna go too " . Third one seemed most elder than other two and had a axe in his hand . He must be cutting wood for charcoal before coming here . Tanjiro's mother deined them from going saying that they can't walk fast like Tanjiro .
When kids tried press it mother said " he is not taking cart Today , he can't pull you when you get tired. " Tanjiro younger brother hugged him while girl was still requesting to go with him . Tanjiro looked at kid with asked and said " Takeo , I know you can't do a lot ,but cut a wood little bit today ,okay? " Takeo lookes at side and said " I will But .... I was hoping , we do it together . " Tanjiro simply smiled at his brother .'
Tsu said " they seems to be quite happy family like mine. His brother and sister like him very much , they have quite strong sibling relationship . "
Ida said " they are like me , when was a kid and used to pester my brother to help him with his work when came home exausted . Mother would tell me not to do it but brother would always take my side."
Izuku was writing about the family members and only people name he knew currently were Tanjiro, Nezuko and Takeo .
Urakara said " I didn't imagined you as spoiled kid in your childhood." Ida looked embarrassed and his classmates laughed. Meanwhile adults were worried about what was coming since the title of episode kind of spoiled them. They were hoping that it would not be much cruel like the title of episode.
'Tanjiro started to leave while waving at his family . At few steps he met a girl with flowers pattern kimono was shown , she was carrying little child on his back and she called him by his name " Tanjiro!" . Tanjiro called her Nezuko while she said " I was putting Rotuka to sleep but I heard all the commotion . "
Tanjiro patted sleeping baby head while saying " they've lonely since Father died so ,they started to cling to you . Take care of yourself ok " Then he started to leave leave while his sister waving him good bye .
Tanjiro narrated the story ' Our life isn't easy but we're happy . But life is like weather , it's always changing. It wouldn't always be easy and the snow will not always keep falling . When happiness ends there's always smell of blood in Air . '
Mineta commented " Wow~ she is pretty. Smash !! " But was meet with tongue slap from Tsu. Izuku said " so ,their father just died, it must be hard on them and Tanjiro it trying to help them as much as he can by working while Nezuko seems to help her mother in taking care of her siblings . " While writing it all down. Todoroki thought ' they are poor but happy together , so this is siblings bonding . I should help my sister when we get home . '
Urakara understood that how hard it was being poor since her parents were always working but losing his parents was even more sad and Tanjiro have lost him and have to take care of his family too. Mina said" Nezuko also seems kind girl , helping her mother taking care of her Siblings . "
Meanwhile adults were more concerned what Tanjiro said in his narration . This meant that it was not just his sister that was in danger from shown first scene and it was not something they wanted to happen with kid who seemed so , hard working and kind to other . They wished somehow they could help him but it can't happen since this was past and what happened can't be changed.
Nezu said " What Tanjiro said also applies to us too , students . Life is not always going to be easy , it always changes like weather and you never know, if it is going to be a storm or sunny day . " They all nodded at knowing since the recent events have changed their life like weather too with All Might retirement , league of villains being not be captured and now finding themselves here .
*Scene Changes*
' A village covered in snow is shown , then we focus on one woman in particular who was sweeping snow away from her front door . She sighed, before turning around with a surprise gasp , " oh !! Tanjiro! You came down the mountain on say like today ? Don't you ever stop working ? She asked " you could catch a cold " the woman said .
" It's not as bad as you think. You need a refill on charcoal by any chance ?" Tanjiro asked with a kind smile. " Hey !! Tanjiro ! " a man's voice called from a building slightly father down the street, " I'll will take some " he said gratefully . " I'm good, but thanks for fixing my sliding doors , the other day " another man called. A woman further down raised her hand " I need some charcoal too " she said .'
All Might said " it's seems that Young Tanjiro helps around the people, when comes at village . People seems to like him vey much too , it must be because of his kind and hardworking nature . "
Detective Tsukauchi said " Difference between people now and in past can be seen so , much clearer . People helped eachother much more and were greatful for what they had then . Now , people are Full y opposite of it. "
'Tanjiro smiled greatfully , before suddenly the door of the house behind him slid open , and a young man with blood trailing from his nose and mouth rushed out towards the teenager .
As he attempted to move towards the burgendy haired boy, a woman held him back , " Tanjiro !" He cried, fighting his way forward ," I'm so glad you're here !" The young man exclaimed in relief , pulling forward until he was on his knees forward in front of boy, taking out a cloth bundle and unwrapping it .
" I've been accused of breaking this plate, can you help me out here ? Give it a sniff ! "the young man begged holding up the the broken plate up while the older woman came up behind him with arm crossed . Tanjiro did as asked , leaning forwards and sniffing the plate a couple or times , before he straightened and looked up at the woman , "it's smells like cat to me ." The young man cried saying he told the woman it was not him . Another voice came from behind and it was middle ages man with a white cloth wrapped around his head . He asked Tanjiro to help him carry bundle of cloths. '
Woah! So he has a sense of smell like Hound Dog's? That's pretty cool" Hagakure said cheerfully. "Yeah, he could do so many things with a heightened sense of smell like that! If he were in our world, maybe Hound Dog would even take him on as a Sidekick-" Izuku muttered. "Midorya" Aizawa said, snapping his student out of his mutter spree.
" It's seems that Tanjiro have hightened sense of smell , this could be a case of Hyperosmia . " Recovery girl said . They all looked at her and she said " I guess none you know , but Hyperosmia is generally caused by pregnancy or Autoimmune disorder " She explained to them. While some student and teacher understood most were still confused .
Kaminari said " Man ,I still don't get it ." And Bakugo shouted " HE SIMPLY SMELLS BETTER THAN NORMAL PERSON , FUSE BULB !!" and added new insult name at last . They felt little bad for him since it was a disease not a quirk but All might said " still it shows his pure heart because he is using his disease to help with others in trouble . "
* Scene changes *
' it was starting to get late and Tanjiro started go back towards the mountain when he heard a voice calling him from a house . It was an old man with grey hair . He said " HEY ! TANJIRO YOU AREN'T GOING BACK UP THE MOUNTAIN ARE YOU ? , It's too dangerous ." Tanjiro assured him saying that he got a good nose and it will help him avoid wild animals .
But the old man insisted him staying at his home ,even when Tanjiro tried to say no , he forced him more to stay . He said and as warning " You don't want to run into man-eating Demons. " Tanjiro didn't argue and entered old man house . '
Kaminari and Mineta were scared from hearing the demon part and izuku said whiel writing information into his Notebook " this old man seems to be very confident about their existence that he didn't want Tanjiro to go at late night. But why only at night ? Does demons don't attack in day when people are alone at mountain roads ? Or is it that they can't come at day like the vampire ? I think this could be the case then , can they even call demons ? He also said a part about them being hunting humans to eat does that mean they eat humans to survive ? Rumble - rumble"
Bakugo hit at head and said " SHUT YOUR SPOILER TRAP !! DAMN NERD !!" Izuku asked for forgiveness form his fellow students but adults got interested in possibilities that Izuku told them about . They looked at Principal Nezu who just nodded in agreement of Tanjiro deduction from small shown scenes and Tsukauchi thought ' this kid is smart. If was not in hero course ,I definitely would have taken him in for future detective , well what can I do now , since All Might beat me to it. "
' Tanjiro was sitting in old man's house now while the man was explaining about Demons " for ages man eating Demons have roamed these woods in dark so, you shouldn't go out in night. " He gave Tanjiro food while bringing out extra futon for Tanjiro to sleep .
He said " Eat ,then sleep you can go back home early tomorrow . " Tanjiro now in futon asked " but can't demon come inside the house ? " '
Mirko said " was also thinking that too ? Why wouldn't they kill them in their houses , it's not that hard to open or break a wooden door ?"
' Old man said " Yes they can " then asked " then why wouldn't they eat everyone ?" Old man who was smoking through pipe said " because Demon slayers have cut them down for ages ." '
Hawks said " it looks like there are people who fight demon to protect people and he said ages that means they might have an organization that existed from centuries . I wonder if it was government funded since different clan's were in power from Time to Time . "' I wonder if Hero committee knows something about it ?'
They all nodded and All might said " it must be hard to fight them in different part around the Japan . Getting information about attack would be hard to considering the technology back then . Odd are Highly against people getting saved because of these factors , I wonder if they have some way to relay information to slayers quickly . Like some agency or so ? "
Nezu said " such information must have been kept secret so, society don't fall into chaos . And it would be dangerous to let people know about them since some might try to hunt Demon themselves by endangering their lives for some glory . " They understood why would that happen since people were like that in old times .
Ida said " I am grateful to old man for carrying about Tanjiro's life and giving him place to stay at his home . " They all smiled at people helping hardworking boy ,who just lost his father .
' Tanjiro closed his eyes in hopes to sleep while thinking ' Old man Saburi lives alone because he lost his family . He must be lonely . Next time ,I will bring my little brothers. There's no need fear , there's not such things as demons. But now I think about it my grandmother said same thing before she died . ' '
Mina said " Owww ! He is so caring , don't you he is somewhat like Midoryia Urakara . What if he is Midoryia great-great grandfather . " Urakara blushed at them mentioned so did Midoryia. They all thought their were similarities between them but Kai said " Kamado Tanjiro is ancestor of Nana shimura and Tenko shimura ."
Tsu said " Oh !! I wonder who they are ?" Meanwhile All Might was surprised at hearing that it was his mentor and hero Nana ancestor that they were watching. He was happy to see that how kind Tanjiro was just like his mentor . Tsukauchi put his hand on shoulder for comforting him, since they almost knew what going to come next.
Midoryia on other hand thought ' so , he is All Might teacher and One For All seventh users Ancestor ,He is really kind like All might discribe her . ' Nana shimura who watching it from OFA also happy to see her Ancestor .
' Next say Tanjiro woke up early and said his good bye to Saburo before starting to go up mountain. He was narrating his story again .
When happiness ends there's always smell of blood in air .
Scene changes to Tanjiro house . He saw his sister Nezuko and Rokuta outside of house laying on snow and there was Blood all round them. He rushed towards them in hurry and then he saw the bloody scene inside his house from the broken door.
His house was painted red in the blood of his family members . His mother ,sister and both brother corpse were laying inside the house . He shouted " What ? How ? What happened ? Mother ,Hanako,Takeo , shigeru , Nezuko , Rokuta. "
A chill went down in the spine of students form the horrible scene they just saw . Midoryia said " how ? Why ? No , I didn't expect this ? " He was unable to find any words to even say something about just what he saw now . Most students vomited after watching this horrible scene . A magical bucket appreared in front of them .
Aizawa was frustrated to since it was his duty to protect people too and do not let such horrible things happen . He was sad because it reminded him of his friend Oboro death . He said ," This the harsh and dark reality of world that we fight to prevent form becoming true in our time " to his students .
Mirio was furstrated and said " Why them ? They didn't even done anything bad . I was just a small family and I can't even do anything " He friends comforted him . Meanwhile All Might was angry this was second time he saw his mentor family distroyed and he is unable to save them .
Recovery girl said " Calm down, All Might we can't do anything , it past that is being showed to us . " All might tried to say something but Nezu said " I know All Might it hurts you the most from hearing about your mentors family death but we can't do anything and just hope that Young Tanjiro is able to take Miss Nezuko to doctor with safety. "
Pro Hero's and students were surprised to hear that Nana shimura that they have been told about was All might mentor. They all felt bad for All Might too ,since this scene caused him pain more than anyother .
' Scene changes to the first scene in episode they were shown . Tanjiro was carrying his sister on his back . It had a hachet tied to his waste . He was thinking ' only Nezuko body is still warm. Maybe a doctor can save her . How ? Did this happened ? A bear ? Maybe a bear to hungry to hibernate ? So , hard to breathe Air 's so cold to breath . It's freezing my lungs . Keep going !! Move your feet faster !"
Students were sad to see Tanjiro struggling walk in cold and snowy terrain . They wanted someone to apprear for their help . Recovery girl knew that it was impossible for kid to find a doctor in time ,since to much blood was already shown but she kept it for students and All Might sake who was looking really frustrated.
' Tanjiro continued to walk while thinking ' it's still long way to town . I wouldn't let you die . I will save you your big brother will save you Nezuko !! ' suddenly her hand started to twitch . Nezuko opened her eyes ,there was slit in her eyes like cat eyes . Her mouth had sharp teeth like vampires.
She opened her mouth and let out a scream " GRRRRRRAAAAAAA" Tanjiro got surprised by sudden scream and slipped on the snow . He falled from the side of cliff but snow cushned his fall . Tanjiro thought ' the snow saved me !! But it also made me trip . ' he stood up and shouted her name "NEZUKO !! " . He saw her standing in snow with her head down . '
Mic said " don't like that look , it like one in scary movies when a person is possessed by ghost. " Midnight said " her physical features also have changed , you the nails and teeth right. " Snipe said " from what we are told for now these Demons seems mixture of Demon and vampires . Maybe they replicate by biting too ."
All students were now worried about Tanjiro's safety if what snipe said was true. They didn't wanted something more bad to happen but they can't control anything their no matter what .
' Tanjiro called out her name and rushed towards her " NEZUKO ARE YOU ALRIGHT !? You shouldn't be standing up ..... Let me carry you into town." He was near her and her face was shown which her slit eyes , sharp teeth and nails . She jumped upon Tanjiro to bite but he was able to stop her mouth with his hachet .
Mina said " Oh no, !! She is a demon now." Ibara was praying for their safety and hoped someone to save the boy since he would not be able to survive against his own sister and he wouldn't be able to attack her because of his kind nature .
Teacher and Pro hero's were expecting this would happen after seeing her scream , now all they could hope was a Demon slayer to come and rescue least the boy it girl couldn't be saved .
He was pinned by Nezuko and he started to narrate his memories . A DEMON , I thought of what old man Saburo said . Was Nezuko a man eating Demon ? No , that was impossible , Nezuko has been human since the day she was born . But this Nezuko smells of blood and death . But Nezuko couldn't have done all that I found her falling over Rokuta like she was saving him .
She doesn't have any blood her hands and mouth and there's yet another smell . Whatever reason she is growing bigger and she's getting stronger! While I was safely asleep something horrible happened to my entire family . How they must have suffered and I wasn't their to help them. I have to save Nezuko while I can !! "
Aizawa said " Kid is blaming himself for their demise . I don't think he would be able to forgive himself but he need to understand that he would have noy be able to do anything . "
Mic said " I know shouta but he just lost his whole family and now his sister have turned into a demon . What can he even do now other then blame himself . "
Tsukauchi said " but kid is right about Nezuko !! She must have turned whole he was taking her to town . She was unconscious entire time. "
Endeavour said " let's hope there is some hope left for girl otherwise kid is not going to have anything to live for . "
All might was sad at how child was blaming himself for his family misfortune. He thought why good and inocent people suffer while bad people are free and happy .
Mineta was scared from her new look and other were worried about them. Izuku wrote what Tanjiro said about Nezuko in his notebook.
' Tanjiro called out for her sister while being pinned down " Hold on ,Nezuko !! Fight it, fight for your life! Be strong !! Don't turn into a demon . You can do it , Nezuko !!" Her eyes turned normal and she started to cry looking at her brother while trying to fight for control over her demon Instincts. '
After staying for so much time bakugo shouted " GET THE CONTROL , GIRL . JUST FIGHT THE INSTINCTS. " Ejirio said " Wow!! bro , I never seen you cheer for any one " Bakugo just gave him a sharp eye . Bakugo may be annoying but he didn't want a girl to kill her brother . I don't have sister but can imagine his situation would be if was in Tanjiro place .
' Sudden footsteps can be heard and I person running towards the siblings is shown. He suddenly closes the distance between them after seeing Nezuko in an instance . He had a sword in his hand and attacked Nezuko but Tanjiro saw this and pushed his sister aside . Tanjiro and nezuko rolled towards a tree ,while swordsman looked at him after missing his attack and cut Tanjiro's Ponytail instead .
Tanjiro thought ' Who? Who is that ? A Katana ? ' then he saw that sword on his hand which had ' DISTROYER OF DEMONS ' written on it . He understood that he must be one of demon slayers , that Old man Saburo was talking about . The slayer was wearing a haori with half red colour and yellow with hexagonal pattern .'
Aizawa said " he must be a demon slayer and the way he closed his distance after seeing Nezuko , shows that he is quite skilled one too . "
Hawks said " Yeah , that swing from his sword was super clean and I can tell be must be High ranking swordsman from his skills alone . He also keeping his calm like even now the situation is under his control. "
' The Slayer asked " Why you protect her ." Tanjiro said while panicking from his question " Nezuko !! I-Is my little s-sister . " while slayer looked at her , Nezuko lost control again and was growling "Grrrraaawww!!" He said that " THAT is your sister ? " Then he dashed towards him ,while Tanjiro tried to cover Nezuko with himself but before he could react , Nezuko was gone. '
Vlad king said " he is really fast and skilled that Both siblings could even react before he grabbed her . Students her remember never to let your guard down . "
They all nodded to him and kaminari asked " but why did he grabbed her like that ? Isn't he here to help ? " Momoa said " is class 1A filled with fools , of course he will do it , from his prospective , she is a Demon who is attacking a normal human even though he is her brother , He is just doing his job, that why I always say that us class 1 B is superior to you idio- ouch !!" before he could complete his Sentence he received a punch on head from Kendo.
She said " next time you started like that , I will knock you out and you wouldn't be able to find out what happened next . " After hearing this Momoa just nodded because he wanted to know what happened next . Jiro said " but still he was right on first part. that man is just doing his duty Jammy -yay !!"
' He looked around frantically for his sister and the man , only to gasp in fear when he saw him a few meters away, Nezuko held unrelenting by his grip . " NEZUKO !!" Tanjiro cried , standing up , " don't move " the slayer ordered as the snow blew between them , all the while Nezuko thrashed and snarled I his grasp . When the snow cleared , Tanjiro was Still standing in the same spot , watching the two of them warily . " My job is to slay every demon I find !! Which mean I have to decapitate your sister to ." Slayer said to Tanjiro . '
Mirio said " no, she haven't even eaten someone , can't they cure her ? " Best Jean's said " it's simple kid ! ,He doesn't know that she was able to control herself before he came , also they are from quite old era . There wouldn't be necessary equipment and information for them to cure a person and keeping a demon alive it then would be very dangerous for Normal people . He is just doing his job ."
All might said " I just hope that they could find a way , maybe she would be different ? I just hope that would be the case . "
Nezu said " we can do nothing about what going to happen since it have already happened , let's just see how this story unvails. " While reassuring All Might.
' Nezuko continued to struggle against the iron girp on her wrists, which were held parallel to each other so ,her claws couldn't scratch the swordsman as he held her . In place . " No wait!! Nezuko hasn't hurt anyone ! Back at my house their was another scent, I-I'd never smelled before ! That's probably the one , who killed my family !" Tanjiro exclaimed. '
Mirko said " His grip is really strong that girl is struggling against it , while she was able to overpower that boy in seconds. He seems to holding her like it nothing for him. "
Endeavour praised him saying " he is a Pro in his work , so he knew how to deal with these kind of situations . "
Mt lady said " Poor boy , now only thing he have left is a sister and even see is at the verge of life death and turned into a Demon."
Kamui woods said " So ,he can differentiate people with their . I wonder who that damn demon even was !!"
' He tried to explain about Nezuko being inocent " Nezuko didn't do it ! I don't know why she changed into something like this! But still ! " That man cut him off any explaining " it's really quute simple . She's turned because demon blood got into her wounds! That changed her into demon . That's how man eating Demons multiply ." '
Nezu said " so , that how demon's multiply , they are like a bacterial infection . Maybe replacing her blood before she transformed could have helped her . " Meanwhile Midoryia write down all the information he got from demon slayer. "
Tsu said " I hope such thing necer happen to my family " Praying for it .
Kodai said " it's is really hard for Tanjiro , he lost his family , then finding his sister have him a hope but now she is turned into a demon , then a slayer comes to kill her . his troubles don't seems to end anywhere . "
Aizawa said " I already said to you all kids , life is not fair and easygoing . Even for good and kind people like Tanjiro , that's why we exist to help them ."
' " Nezuko would never eat a human!" Tanjiro cried while stepping closer to them but Slayer replied by saying " Moment ago she was about to eat you !!" Tanjiro still tried to convince him by saying that " No !! I am sure , she still knows who I am ? I wouldn't let her hurt anyone ! I will find a way cure for her , I will turn her human again. '
Yeah, I mean, it certainly seemed like she recognised him when she started crying" Sero nodded. Many other people nodded along with him, agreeing that Nezuko did recognise Tanjiro as her brother.
' Slayer explained " she can't be healed . Once you turn into a Demon , there is no going back !!" Tanjiro spread his harm and said " I will find a way! Please don't kill her . I will also find the one who killed my family so- so ." But slayer brought his sword near her neck and Tanjiro shouted "STOP!! " he got on his hands and knees to beg the swordsman . '
Tetsu Testu said " man, it's really sad to watch him unable to do anything about this situation ." Kendo said " she is the only family left and even she is in danger now "
' Tanjiro remembered how she is the only one left from his family and he didn't want to lose her to " I'm begging you , please don't kill my sister ." But the swordsman said in anger " NEVER LEAVE YOURSELF , SO DEFENSELESS IN FRONT OF ENEMY " Tanjiro flinched at the sudden change of the slayer voice ,he was no longer calm .
He continued " stop bowing so , pitifully. If that worked your family still would have been alive . How can a weakling like you who bows when its time to fight , to kill or be killed can even cure his sister or even find his enemy . " '
Many people in the audience were now in tears, crying along with Tanjiro. "I know he can find a way to make Nezuko human again, as long as he doesn't give up" All Might nodded. "Do you really think he can Sir?" Ashido asked. "Yes" the former Pro Hero replied. This lifted everyone's hopes a little, and they turned back to the screen.
' Anger on the slayer face was visible when continued " If you want something , then fight for it . The weak have no power ,no option , strong will crush them !! Demons might now how to cure your sister but no one will respect your whinnig and Begging . For the matter of fact I don't respect you either ,That's reality . " '
Midoryia felt that it was like story of his life before he got OFA from All Might. He was weak and he could only cry about it but it . Bakugo also understood what that man was trying to say since he also felt ,so much powerless against the presence of AFO . He could not even move against his will and was only alive because All might came in time to protect time but it costed All might his career , which he blamed himself for .
' As he was speaking , Tanjiro could only stare at him while on his knees . He said " why the hell did you cover her earlier , was that your way of protecting her ? Why didn't you used that hatchet to attack me instead you turned your back on me that's how I was able to take her . I could've skewered both of you there " Tanjiro gaped at him , tears falling from his eyes .
Mina said " Man , he is being a bully to him now , he doesn't need to that harsh on poor Tanjiro. " Meanwhile Midoryia thought ' ifbi fought for myself would things being different between me and kacchan ?' but their was no answer for him since time had passed and he didn't took action then.
' DON'T CRY ,
DON'T DISPAIR ,
THOSE THINGS WILL DO YOU NO GOOD .
YOUR FAMILY IS DEAD AND YOUR SISTER HAVE BECOME A DEMON .
I KNOW YOUR HEART IS CRUSHED .
I KNOW YOUR PAIN , HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO CRY OUT .
If I've come half a day sooner , your family could have been alive but there is no such thing as turning back time . Fill your heart with rage , strong pure rage . That gives no quarter , anger that because unwavering force that drives your limbs . Weakness and empty promises can't protect and cure your sister and definitely can't avenge your family . ' Slayer was thinking this while bringing his sword near Nezuko head ." No!' Tanjiro cried , making to get up as his sister growled . Then slayer stabbed her in Shoulder . "
" NEZUKO !! " practically everyone in the theater screamed in terror. "He isn't really going to kill her is he?!" Sato demanded. "Well, it's his job, he doesn't really have a choice" Aizawa sighed. "But Nezuko is a good Demon! I'm sure of it!" Hagakure exclaimed, her shirt sleeves moving to cross her shirt, meaning that she either crossed her arms, or wrapped them around herself.
"Even if that's the truth, he said it himself, as a Demon Slayer, that man's whole job is to kill Demons. Even if they have the forms of little girls" the Underground Hero sighed. "It's the same in our time too . If a Villain does something wrong, it's our duty as Hero's to arrest them, no matter what the reasons are. That's just how it is. In that sense Hero's and Demon Slayers aren't really that different".
' Tanjiro throwed a stone from snow towards Slayer but he deflected it with his swords hilt . He picked up another stone and Nezuko continued to thrash around , as Tanjiro emerged through a gap in trees and threw another stone towards the Slayer .
He dodged it and let it hit tree . Tanjiro rushed at him while screaming at top of his lungs " AAAAHHHH !! " Slayer thought ' simple head on attack with pure motion . What a fool ' hitting the boy in the back with butt of his sword . Nezuko stopped struggling looked at his brother in shock. '
"What's she so shocked about?" Tsyu asked curiously. "I have a feeling that I know where this is going" Mirio said with a smile. Meanwhile Mic wispeared to Aizawa " don't you think that slayer have your harsh way of teaching , do you think he is your ancestors or something " But Aizawa just stayed quite since he was more interested in how this was going to unfold .
' She started at her brother at as layed at ground senseless . Slayer realised that Tanjiro didn't have his hatchet and he thought ' where is his hatchet ? " Before he heard a sound and looked up . It was coming down towards his head spinning at high speed but Slayer dodged it and hatchet hit the tree behind him .
Slayer Understood what Tanjiro did just now ' Just before passing behind tree he threw a stone as distraction and while he threw his hatchet from behind of tree . He hid his hand so I wouldn't see him unharmed. He knew he wouldn't win against me so , his plan was to strike me down after I kill him . This kid - ' mean while screan showed entire scene from Tanjiro Point of view . '
"Well, that was an interesting plan," Kirashima said with a grin, "and so manly!" he cheered. Mirko said " as sucidal his plan was , still I like it . I am impressed by the guts of this kid to do something like that . " Hawks said " he was quickly able to make a plan in hostage situation on top of that . I have to give him , that boy haev making of a Pro considering his options . "
' Nezuko looked at his brother then in anger , she kicked the slayer away and rushed towards his brother . Slayer thought while running to protect kid ' No , I'm too late. She is about to eat him .' but was shocked to see when Nezuko stood infront of her brother while trying to protect him . Slayer remembered Tanjiro words from before ' Nezuko .... Not Nezuko ! She wouldn't eat anyone !!" She rushed to attack him while slayer narrated story .
HE WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TO SAY THAT AND THEN GET EATEN ANYWAY , STARVING DEMON WOULD EAT ANYONE ,EVEN IF THEY ARE FAMILY OR SIBLINGS . BECAUSE THEY NEED ENERGY . I'VE SEEN IT COUNTLESS TIMES . '
Many people cringed at the image on the screen, "damn, that's nasty!" Mineta whined, cringing.
' THIS GIRL IS INJURIED TO HEAL HER WOUNDS AND NOT TO COUNT THE STRENGTH IT TOOK HER TO TRANSFORM INTO A DEMON , SHE MUST BE STARVING TWICE OF A NORMAL DEMON , MUST WANT TO EAT HUMAN FLESH AS FAST AS POSSIBLE . BUT SHE IS PROTECTING HIM AND FOCUSING HER ANGER AT ME . MAYBE THESE TWO ARE DIFFERENT !!"
Slayer shithed his sword and used his hand to knock out her unconscious . '
"I knew it" the former member of the Big Three said with a smile, "I just knew that Nezuko wasn't going to hurt him" he said happily. Nezu smiled while sipping his tea and knew that slayer knew about value of Nezuko as a demon that doesn't harm humans .while Izuku smiled at screen then started to write in his notebook about more information slayer gave .
"His reflexes were very impressive" Ida commented, but everyone was too wrapped up in the images on screen to reply, or even hear him.
Mt lady thought ' At least, he spared the girl life instead of killing her , now Tanjiro have a family member who will stay with him.'
"So, what's going to happen now, ribbit? He sheathed his sword, does that mean he's changed his mind about killing Nezuko?" Asui asked. "We'll just have to watch to find out" All Might replied and every person eyes were on screen .
' Tanjiro dead family is shown at screen while background being black . His mother wispeared in his ear of unconscious body " I'm sorry I had to leave you . Take care of Nezuko. " He woke up and grabbed a cloth Which was a part of Nezuko kimono , who laying besides him with a bamboo muzzle in her mouth .
He then heard the voice of slayer " you're awake !? " He was shocked to see him standing behind the tree and hugged Nezuko tightly . Slayer said " Go see an Old man named Urokodaki Sakonji ,who lives at the foot of Mount Sagiri . Tell him that TOMIOKA GIYU sent you . Your sister should be fine since sun have not come out yet but don't let sunlight touch her. "
With that Tomioka vanished from there in high speed . Tanjiro could only stare at the place where Tomioka was standing in confusion but he was happy that his sister was safe .
Back at house , Tanjiro buried his family corpse near the house and prayed for there souls. He then grabed the hand of Nezuko who was standing near him and started to walk down the mountain towards the direction of Mount Sagiri and with that episode ended .
After the screen turned dark, everyone just sat there, processing what they'd all just witnessed. "Man, that was a lot to take in" Kirashima sighed, leaning back into his chair. "Yes it was. So I think we should take a break for a while and just let everything sink in. If that's okay with you ?" Aizawa asked the Kai . He just nodded and said " by the way , Tomioka Giyu Ancestor of Aizawa. Shouta from his grandmother family side . "
Aizawa looked at him but he already knew about it after hearing Tomioka full name . All the Pro hero's look at him and Hawks said and joked " Well , I can see the resemblance between both of them , congratulations , ERASURE HEAD you are descendant of a person that found a Demon that Protects and doesn't kill . Let's hope that it will put positive effect on the story . "
Aizawa just eyed him while other laughed . Kids needed little laughter moment after such a tension filled situation . So he let it go but All might said " I believe that it will be a positive effect Hawks since , they are Ancestors of my mentor and there are no demons today . So , it was a positive effect I think . " in hope to reassure the students and other Pro hero's .
Nezu said " let's take small break and see what wee got so , far from this episode about Demons later . " They all nodded at his situation and lunch rush went to showed kitchen to cook something for all of them since they would need it . Sato went behind him to help him .
