Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc. Episode 8 "The Hashira Unite" /鬼滅の刃　柱稽古編　第8話『柱・結集』

Japanese/Romaji/English

産屋敷あまね「日の光を克服した鬼が現れた以上、鬼舞辻無惨は目の色を変え��、それを狙ってくるでしょう。己も太陽を克服するために。大規模な総力戦が近づいています」

Amane Ubuyashiki “Hino hikari o kokufuku-shita oniga arawareta ijo, Kibutsuji Muzan wa meno-iro-o kaete, soreo neratte-kurudesho. Onoremo taiyo-o kokufuku-suru tameni. Daikibo na soryoku-sen ga chikazuite-imasu.”

Amane Ubuyashiki “Now that a demon who’s conquered sunlight has appeared… It’s a given that Muzan Kibutsuji will make a frenzied attempt to come after her. So that he, too, can conquer the sun.

産屋敷耀哉「初めましてだね…。鬼舞辻…無惨…」

Kagaya Ubuyashiki “Hajimemashite-dane…Kibutsuji…Muzan…”

Kagaya Ubuyashiki “Nice to meet you, I should say… Muzan…Kibutsuji.”

鬼舞辻無惨「何とも醜悪な姿だな。産屋敷」

Muzan Kibutsuji “Nantomo shuakuna sugata-dana. Ubuyashiki.”

Muzan Kibutsuji “You’re…certainly looking hideous… Ubuyashiki.”

耀哉「ついに…私の…元へ来た…。今…目の前に…鬼舞辻…無惨…我が一族が…鬼殺隊が…千年…追い続けた…鬼…　あまね…彼は…どのような…姿形を…している？」

Kagaya “Tsui-ni…Watashino…motoe kita… Ima…menomae-ni…Kibutsuji…Muzan… Waga ichizoku ga… Kisatsutai ga…sen-nen…oitsuzuketa…oni… Amane… Kare wa… dono-yona… sugata-katachi o…shite-iru?”

Kagaya “At last…you’ve made your way to me. At this moment…you’re right before my eyes… Muzan…Kibutsuji. The demon that my family…the Demon Slayer Corps…has been pursuing for the last…thousand years. Amane… What kind of…shape and form…has he assumed?”

あまね「二十代半ばから後半あたりの男性に見えます。ただし瞳は紅梅色、そして瞳孔が猫のように縦長です」

Amane “Nijudai-nakaba kara kohan atari-no danseini miemasu. Tadashi hitomi wa kobai-syoku, soshite doko ga neko no yoni tatenaga desu.”

Amane “He appears to be a young man in his early-to-late twenties. However…his eyes are a light pink color… and his pupils are vertical slits like a cat’s.”

耀哉「そうか…そう…君は…来ると…思っていた…必ず…。君は私に…産屋敷一族に酷く腹を立てていただろうから…私だけは…　君が…君自身が殺しに来ると…思っていた…」

Kagaya “Soka… So… Kimi wa kuru to omotteita… kanarazu… Kimi wa watashini… Ubuyashiki ichizoku ni hidoku hara o tateteita-darokara… watashi dake wa… kimiga…kimi-jishinga koroshini kuru to… omotteita…”

Kagaya “Is that right? Right. I knew that…you’d be coming. Without fail. Because I’m sure that… you’ve been quite livid with me…with the Ubuyashiki Family. I always expected you…to come personally for me alone…to kill me yourself.”

無惨「私は心底興醒めしたよ、産屋敷。身の程も弁えず、千年にも渡り、私の邪魔ばかりしてきた一族の長が、このようなザマで。醜い。何とも醜い。お前からは既に屍の匂いがするぞ、産屋敷よ」

Muzan “Watashi wa shinsoko kyozame shitayo, Ubuyashiki. Minohodo mo wakimaezu, sen-nen-nimo watari, watashino jama bakari shitekita ichizoku no osa ga, konoyona zamade. Minikui. Nantomo minikui. Omae-kara wa sudeni shikabane no nioi ga suruzo, Ubuyashiki yo.”

Muzan “I’m feeling utterly disenchanted, Ubuyashiki. To see the head of the clan that for a thousand years… had the gall to constantly thwart me… in such a deplorable state. Hideous. So very hideous. Your body is already giving off the scent of a corpse, Ubuyashiki.”

耀哉「そうだろうね…。私は…半年も前には…医者から…数日で死ぬと言われていた…。それでもまだ…私は生きている…。医者も…言葉を…失っていた…。それもひとえに…君を倒したいという一心ゆえだ…無惨…」

Kagaya “So daro-ne… Watashi wa… han-toshi-mo mae niwa… isha kara su-jitsu de shinuto iwarete-ita… Soredemo mada…watashi wa ikiteiru… Isya mo…kotoba o…ushinatte-ita… Soremo hitoeni…kimi o taoshitaito iu isshin yue da… Muzan…”

Kagaya “I’m sure that it does. Six months ago… I was…told by my doctor that I would be dead in a few days. And yet, here I am…still alive. Even my doctor…was left…speechless. And it’s all thanks to…my single-minded desire to defeat you… Muzan.”

無惨「その儚い夢も今宵潰えたな。お前はこれから私が殺す」

Muzan “Sono hakanai yume mo koyoi tsuieta na. Omae wa korekara watashi ga korosu.”

Muzan “That feeling dream of yours is about to be shattered tonight. I’m going to kill you now.”

耀哉「君は…知らないかもしれないが…君と私は…同じ血筋なんだよ…君が生まれたのは…千年以上前のことだろうから…私と君の血は、もう…近くないけれど…」

Kagaya “Kimi wa…shiranai kamo shirenai ga… kimito watashi wa… onaji chisuji nandayo… Kimi ga umaretanowa…sen-nen-ijo-maeno koto darokara…watashi to kimino chi wa, mo…chikakunai keredo…”

Kagaya “You…may not know this… but you and I…hail from the same bloodline. Although since you were likely born more than a thousand years ago… our blood is no longer thick.”

無惨「何の感情も湧かないな。お前は何が言いたいのだ？」

Muzan “Nanno kanjo mo wakanaina. omae wa naniga iitainoda?”

Muzan “That does nothing for me emotionally. What is it that you’re trying to say?”

耀哉「君のような怪物を…一族から出してしまったせいで…私の一族は…呪われていた…」

Kagaya “Kimino-yona kaibutsu o…ichizoku kara dashite-shimatta seide… watashino ichizoku wa… norowarete ita…”

Kagaya My clan has been cursed… because the family… produced a monster…like you.

耀哉「生まれてくる子供たちは皆、病弱ですぐに死んでしまう…。一族がいよいよ絶えかけた時、神主から助言を受けた…『同じ血筋から鬼が出ている…その者を倒す為に心血を注ぎなさい…そうすれば一族は絶えない…』代々神職の一族から妻をもらい…子供も死にづらくなったが…それでも我が一族の誰も…三十年と生きられない…」

Kagaya “Umarete kuru kodomo-tachi wa mina, byojakude suguni shinde-shimau. Ichizoku ga iyo-iyo taekaketa-toki, kannushi kara jogen o uketa. ‘Onaji chisujikara oniga deteiru… Sonomono o taosu-tameni shinketsu o sosogi-nasai… Sosureba ichizoku wa taenai.’ Daidai shinsyokuno ichizoku kara tsuma o morai… kodomomo shinizuraku-nattaga… soredemo waga ichizokuno daremo… sanju-nen to ikirarenai…”

Kagaya “Our children were all born sickly and weak… and they would die soon after. My family was on the verge of being wiped out… when we received a priest’s advice. ‘A demon has emerged from your bloodline. Commit yourselves… to killing that demon. If you do so, your clan will survive.’ Through the ages, we have married the daughters of priests… and though this has made our children less prone to death, still… no one in our family…has lived past the age of 30.”

無惨「迷言もここに極まれりだな。反吐が出る。お前の病は、頭にまで回るのか？そんな事柄には何の因果関係もなし。なぜなら…私には何の天罰も下っていない。何百何千という人間を殺しても、私は許されている。この千年、神も仏も見たことがない」

Muzan “Meigenmo kokoni kiwamareri dana. Hedoga deru. Omaeno yamai wa, atamanimade mawarunoka? Sonna kotogara niwa nanno ingakankei mo nashi. Nazenara…watashiniwa nanno tembatsu mo kudatte-inai. Nanbyaku-nanzento iu ningen o koroshitemo, watashi wa yurusarete-iru. Kono sen-nen, kamimo hotokemo mitakotoga nai.”

Muzan “Your drivel has now reached its peak. I’m about to gag. Has your disease spread to your brain now? Your story is completely irrelevant. And why? Because I’ve received no divine punishment whatsoever. Even though I’ve killed hundreds… thousands of humans… I have never been held accountable. Over the last thousand years, I’ve never seen the gods or Budda.

耀哉「君は…そのように物を考えるんだね…だが私には私の…考え方がある…。無惨…君の夢は何だい？この千年間…君は一体…どんな夢を見ているのかな…」

Kagaya “Kimi wa… sono-yoni mono o kangaerundane… Daga watashiniwa watashino…kangaekata ga aru… Muzan… Kimi-no yume wa nandai? Kono sen-nen-kan… kimi wa ittai donna yume o mite-irunokana…”

Kagaya “So… that’s how you look at it, is it? But I have… my own… way of thinking. Muzan… What is your dream? What have you been… dreaming about… for the last thousand years?”

無惨（奇妙な感覚だ…。あれ程目障りだった鬼殺隊の元凶を目の前にして、憎しみが湧かない。むしろ…）

Muzan (Kimyona kankaku da… Arehodo mezawari-datta Kisatsutai no genkyo o menomae ni shite, nikushimi ga wakanai. Mushiro…)

Muzan (What an odd feeling. Here he is, right before me, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, always such an eyesore… yet there’s no hatred brimming in me. Actually…)

白髪たち「♪ひとつとや　一夜明くれば　賑やかで　賑やかで　お飾り立てたり　松飾り　松飾り　二つとや　二葉の松は　色ようて　色ようて…　三蓋松は　上総山　上総山…」

Hakuhatsu-tachi “♪Hitotsutoya, ichiya akureba nigiyakade nigiyakade, okazari tatetari matsukazari matsukazari, Futatsutoya, Futaba no matsu wa iro yote iro yote… Sangai-matsu wa Kazusa-yama Kazusa-yama…”

White hair kids “♪One is for one night ending… Lively… Merry… Raise decorations… Pine decorations… Pine decorations… Two is for two pine sprouts… Good color… Good color… Three layers of pine… Mount Kazusa… Mount Kazusa… ”

無惨（この奇妙な懐かしさ、安堵感…、気色が悪い。そして、この屋敷には四人しか人間がいない。産屋敷と妻、子供二人だけ。護衛も何もない…）

Muzan (Kono kimyo na natsukashisa, andokan…, kishoku ga warui. Soshite, kono yashiki niwa yonin-shika ningen ga inai. Ubuyashiki to tsuma, kodomo-futari dake. Goei mo nanimo nai…)

Muzan (This odd sense of familiarity… and relief… It’s revolting. And there are only four humans in this mansion. Ubuyashiki and his wife… and two children. That’s all. No bodyguards whatsoever.)

耀哉「当てようか…無惨。君の心が、私には分かるよ。君は永遠を夢見ている…不滅を…夢見ている…」

Kagaya “Ateyoka… Muzan. Kimino kokoroga, watashi niwa wakaruyo. Kimi wa eien o yumemiteiru… Fumetsu o… yumemiteiru…”

Kagaya “Why don’t I guess, Muzan? I can tell… what’s on your mind, you know. You’re dreaming of eternity. Immortality… is what you dream of.”

無惨「その通りだ。そしてそれは間もなく叶う。禰豆子を手に入れさえすれば」

Muzan “Sono tori da. Soshite sore wa mamonaku kanau. Nezuko o teni iresae-sureba.”

Muzan “Exactly. And that dream will soon come true. As soon as I get my hands on Nezuko.”

耀哉「君の夢は叶わないよ、無惨」

Kagaya “Kimi-no yume wa kanawanai yo, Muzan.”

Kagaya “Your dream’s not coming true… Muzan.”

無惨「禰豆子の隠し場所に随分と自信があるようだな。しかし、お前と違い私にはたっぷりと時間がある」

Muzan “Nezuko no kakushi-basyo ni zuibunto jishinga aru yodana. Shikashi, omae to chigai, watashi-niwa tappurito jikanga aru.”

Muzan “You seem quite confident about where you’ve hidden Nezuko. But unlike you… I have all the time in the world.”

耀哉「君は…思い違いをしている」

Kagaya “Kimi wa… omoi-chigai o shiteiru.”

Kagaya “You… have it all wrong.”

無惨「何だと？」

Muzan “Nandato?”

Muzan “What did you say?”

耀哉「私は、永遠が何か…知っている。永遠という��は…人の想いだ。人の想いこそが永遠であり、不滅なんだよ」

Kagaya “Watashi wa, eien ga nanika… shitteiru. Eien to iu-nowa… hitono omoi da. Hitono omoi-kosoga eiende ari, fumetsu nandayo.”

Kagaya “I… happen to know… what eternity is. Eternity is… the human will. The human will lasts for all eternity… and it’s immortal.”

無惨「下らぬ…お前の話には辟易する」

Muzan “Kudaranu… Omae-no hanashi-niwa hekieki suru.”

Muzan “Such rubbish. Your words make my stomach turn.”

耀哉「この千年間、鬼殺隊はなくならなかった。可哀相な子供たちは大勢死んだが、決してなくならなかった。その事実は、今、君が…下らないと言った、人の想いが不滅であることを証明している」

Kagaya “Kono sen-nen-kan, Kisatsutai wa nakunara-nakatta. Kawaiso na kodomo-tachi wa ozei shindaga, kesshite nakunara-nakatta. Sono jijitsu wa, ima, kimiga kudaranai to itta, hitono omoi ga fumetsu de-arukoto o shomei-shiteiru.”

Kagaya “Over the last thousand years… the Demon Slayer Corps has never been eradicated. So many of my poor children have perished… And yet… it still exists. The fact that it remains… proves that the human will… what you just brushed off as rubbish… is immortal.”

耀哉「大切な人の命を理不尽に奪った者を許さないという想いは…永遠だ。君は誰にも許されていない。この千年間、一度も…。そして君はね、無惨…。何度も何度も、虎の尾を踏み、竜の逆鱗に触れている。本来ならば一生眠っていたはずの虎や竜を、君は起こした。彼らはずっと、君��睨んでいるよ。絶対に逃がすまいと。」

Kagaya “Taisetsuna hitono inochi o rifujin-ni ubatta mono o yurusanai to iu omoi wa… eien da. Kimi wa darenimo yurusarete-inai. Kono sen-nen-kan, ichido mo… Soshite, kimi wane, Muzan… Nandomo nandomo torano o o fumi, ryu no gekirin ni fureteiru. Honrai-naraba issho nemutteita-hazuno tora ya ryu o, kimi wa okoshita. Karera wa zutto, kimi o nirande-iruyo. Zettaini nogasumai to.”

Kagaya “Refusing to forgive those… who have senselessly taken the lives… of their loved ones… That feeling… is eternal. No one… has forgiven you. Not once… in the last thousand years. And you know what, Muzan? Time and time again… you’ve stepped on the tiger’s tail… and incurred the wrath of the dragon… Normally… they would’ve remained asleep for all time… but you’ve awakened… that tiger and dragon. They’ve had their glare… fixed on you all this time… vowing to never let you escape.”

耀哉「私を殺したところで、鬼殺隊は痛くも痒くもない。私自身は、それ程重要じゃないんだ。この…人の想いと繋がりが、君には理解できないだろうね、無惨。なぜなら君は…君たちは、君が死ねば全ての鬼が滅ぶんだろう？」

Kagaya “Watashi o koroshita-tokorode, Kisatsutai wa itakumo kayukumo nai. Watashi-jishin wa, sore-hodo juyo ja-nainda. Kono… hito no omoi to tsunagari ga, kimi niwa rikaidekinai-darone, Muzan. Naze-nara kimi wa… kimi-tachi wa, kimi-ga shineba subete-no oni ga horobundaro?”

Kagaya “Even if you were to kill me… it wouldn’t make any difference at all to the Demon Slayer Corps. I myself… am not that important. These… human feelings and bonds… are not… things that you’d understand… Muzan. And that’s because you… you and your kind… if you die… all demons will be wiped off the face of the earth, right?”

耀哉「空気が揺らいだね…当たりかな？」

Kagaya “Kuki ga yuraida ne… Atari kana?”

Kagaya “I just felt a change in the air. Did I guess right?”

無惨「黙れ」

Muzan “Damare.”

Muzan “Shut up.”

耀哉「うん、もういいよ。ずっと君に言いたかったことは言えた。最期に…一つだけいいかい？私自身はそれ程重要ではないと言ったが…私の死が無意味なわけではない。私は幸運なことに鬼殺隊…特に柱の子たちから慕ってもらっている。つまり私が死ねば、今まで以上に鬼殺隊の士気が上がる…」

Kagaya “Un, mo iiyo. Zutto kimini iitakatta-koto wa ieta. Saigo-ni… hitotsudake iikai? Watashi-jishin wa sorehodo juyo dewa nai to ittaga… watashino shi ga muimi na wakedewa nai. Watashi wa koun-na-kotoni, Kisatsutai… tokuni Hashira no kotachi kara shitatte-moratte-iru. Tsumari watashi ga shineba, imamade ijo ni Kisatsutai no shiki ga agaru…”

Kagaya “Right. That’s enough. I got to say what I’ve always wanted to say to you. Would you mind… if I said one last thing? I just told you… that I myself am not that important… but it’s not as if my death will be for nothing. I am… fortunate enough to be loved by the Demon Slayer Corps… particularly… by the Hashira. In other words… if I die… it will fuel the Demon Slayers’ motivation even more than before.”

無惨「話は終わりだな？」

Muzan “Hanashi wa owari dana?”

Muzan “Are you done talking?”

耀哉「ああ…こんなに話を聞いてくれるとは思わなかったな…ありがとう、無惨」

Kagaya “Aa… Konnani hanashi o kiitekureru towa omowanakattana… Arigato, Muzan.”

Kagaya “Yes. I never thought you’d listen to what I had to say for so long. Thank you… Muzan.”

Muzan (Ano otoko no kao!! Hotoke no yona emi o haritsuketa-mama, onoreto tsumato kodomo-morotomo, bakuyakude keshitobasu!!)

Muzan (The look on that man’s face! With the smile of a Buddha plastered on his face, he flew himself up in an explosion along with his wife and two children!)

無惨（私は思い違いをしていた。産屋敷という男を、人間にあてる物差しで測っていたが、あの男は完全に常軌を逸している）

Muzan (Watashi wa omoichigai o shiteita. Ubuyashikito iu otoko o, ningen ni ateru monosashi de hakatteitaga, ano otoko wa kanzen ni joki o isshiteiru.)

Muzan (I had the wrong idea about him. I’d always measured Ubuyashiki by the same standards as any human… but this man is completely off the rails!)

無惨（何か仕掛けてくるとは思っていた。しかし、これ程とは。爆薬の中にも細かい撒(まき)菱(びし)のようなものが入っていて、殺傷力が上げられている。一秒でも私の再生を遅らせる為に）

Muzan (Nanika shikaketekuru towa omotteita. Shikashi, korehodo towa. Bakuyaku no nakanimo komakai makibishi no yona mono ga haitteite, sasshoryoku ga agerareteiru. Ichi-byo demo, watashino saisei o okuraseru tameni.)

Muzan (I knew that he’d set some kind of trap. But nothing of this scale! These explosives are laden with something like tiny makibishi… increasing their destructive power! In order to slow down my regeneration if even by one second!)

無惨（つまり、まだ何かある。産屋敷はこの後まだ何かするつもりだ。人の気配が集結しつつある…��らくは柱。だがこれではない、もっと別の何か。自分自身を囮に使ったのだ、あの腹黒は）

Muzan (Tsumari, mada nanika aru. Ubuyashiki wa kono-ato mada nanika surutsumorida. Hitono kehai ga shuyaku-shitsutsuaru… Osoraku wa Hashira. Daga kore dewa nai, motto betsuno nanika. Jibun-jishin o otorini tsukattanoda, ano haraguro wa.)

Muzan (Meaning that there’s still more to come. Ubuyashiki is still planning to do something further! I can sense humans gathering. Most likely the Hashira. But there’s still something else! He used himself as bait… that schemer!)

無惨（私への怒りと憎しみが蝮(まむし)のように、真っ黒な腹の中で蜷局(とぐろ)を巻いていた）

Muzan (Watashie no ikari to nikushimi ga mamushi no yoni, makkurona hara no nakade toguro o maite-ita.)

Muzan (Like a viper, his rage and hatred toward me… was coiling inside his pitch-black heart!)

無惨（あれだけの殺意を、あの若さで見事に隠し抜いたことは驚嘆に値する。妻と子供は承知の上だったのか？よせ。今考えることではない。動じるな。間もなく体も再生する）

Muzan (Aredakeno satsui o, ano wakasa de migotoni kakushinuita koto wa kyotan ni ataisuru. Tsuma to kodomo wa shochi no ue dattanoka? Yose. Ima kangaeru koto dewa nai. Dojiruna. Mamonaku karada mo saiseisuru.)

Muzan (For someone so young to have concealed that much murderous intent is astonishing! Did his wife and children knowingly take part? Enough! That’s not your concern right now! Don’t get rattled. Soon, my body will regenerate.)

無惨（肉の種子。血気術！！固定された！誰の血気術だ？！これは。肉の中でも棘が細かく枝分かれして抜けない）

Muzan (Niku-no shushi. Kekkijutsu!! Kotei sareta! Dare no kekkijyutsu da?! Kore wa. Niku no naka-demo toge ga komakaku edawakareshite nukenai.)

Muzan (Flesh seeds! Blood Demon Art! I’ve been immobilized! Whose Blood Demon Art is this? The thorns have branched out in my flesh, and I can’t free myself of them!)

無惨（いや、問題ない。大した量じゃない。吸収すればいい！）

Muzan (Iya, mondai nai. Taishita ryo ja nai. Kyushu surebaii!)

Muzan (Well, no matter. It’s not like there are that many. I’ll just absorb them!)

無惨「珠世！！なぜお前がここに…！」

Muzan “Tamayo!! Naze omaega kokoni…!”

Muzan “Tamayo! What are you doing here?”

珠世「この棘の血気術は、貴方が浅草で鬼にした人のものですよ」

Tamayo “Kono togeno kekkijutsu wa, anataga Asakusade onini shita hitono mono desuyo.”

Tamayo “This Thorn Blood Demon Art… belongs to the man you turned into a demon in Asakusa!”

無惨（目くらまし��血気術で近づいたな。目的は？何をした？何のために、この女は）

Muzan (Mekuramashi no kekkijutsu de chikazuitana. Mokuteki wa? Nani o shita? Nan-no tame-ni, kono onna wa.)

Muzan (So, she approached me by using Blood Demon Art: Eyeblind, huh? What is she after? What did she do? Why would this woman…)

珠世「吸収しましたね、無惨。私の拳(こぶし)を。拳(こぶし)の中に何が入っていたと思いますか？」

Tamayo “Kyushu shimashitane, Muzan. Watashi no kobushi o. Kobushino nakani naniga haitteita to omoimasuka?”

Tamayo “You absorbed it, didn’t you, Muzan? My fist! What do you think it contained?”

珠世「鬼を人間に戻す薬ですよ！どうですか、効いてきましたか？！」

Tamayo “Oni o ningen ni modosu kusuri desuyo! Dou desuka? Kiite kimashitaka?”

Tamayo “A drug that turns demons back into humans! So, tell me! Is it starting to take effect?”

無惨「そんなものができるはずは…！」

Muzan “Sonna monoga dekiruhazu wa…!”

Muzan “Such a thing isn’t even possible!”

珠世「完成したのですよ。状況が随分変わった。私の力だけでは無理でしたが！」

Tamayo “Kanseishitano desuyo. Jokyo ga zuibun kawatta. Watashino chikaradake dewa muri deshitaga!”

Tamayo “I’ve perfected it! The situation has changed drastically! Although I couldn’t have done it alone!”

無惨「お前も大概しつこい女だな、珠世。逆恨みも甚だしい。お前の夫と子供を殺したのは誰だ？私か？違うだろう、他ならぬお前自身だ。お前が喰い殺した」

Muzan “Omae mo taigai shitsukoi onna dana, Tamayo. Sakaurami mo hanahadashii. Omae no otto to kodomo wo koroshita-nowa dareda? Watashika? Chigaudarou, hokanaranu omae-jishin da. Omaega kui-koroshita.”

Muzan “You really don’t know when to give up, Tamayo! And your misguided grudge is outrageous! Who was it that killed your husband and children? Was it me? It wasn’t, and you know it! It was none other than you yourself! You killed and devoured them!”

珠世「そんなことがわかっていれば私は鬼になどならなかった！！病で死にたくないと言ったのは！！子供が大人になるのを見届けたかったからだ…！！」

Tamayo “Sonna kotoga wakatteireba watashi wa onini nado naranakatta!! Yamai de shinitakunai to itta-nowa!! Kodomoga otonani naruno o mitodoke-takattakarada…!!”

Tamayo “If I’d known that would happen… I never would’ve become a demon! I only said I didn’t want to die from my disease… because I wanted to see my children reach adulthood!”

無惨「その後も大勢人間を殺していたが、あれは私の見た幻か？楽しそうに人間を喰っていたように見えたがな！」

Muzan “Sonogo mo ozei ningen o koroshiteitaga, are wa watashino mita maboroshika? Tanoshisoni ningen o kutteita yoni mietaga na!”

Muzan “And then, you went on to kill hordes of humans! Or was I imagining things? You certainly seemed to be having the time of your life devouring those humans!”

珠世「そうだ！自暴自棄になって大勢殺した！その罪を償う為にも、私はお前とここで死ぬ！！」

Tamayo “Soda! Jibo-jiki ni natte ozei koroshita! Sono tsumi o tsugunau tamenimo, watashi wa omaeto kokode shinu!!”

Tamayo “That’s right! I killed scores of them out of despair! And to atone for my sins… I’m going to die right here with you!”

珠世「悲鳴嶼さん！お願いします！！」

Tamayo “Himejima-san! Onegai-shimasu!!”

Tamayo “Mr.Himejima! Now, please!”

Mitsuri “A Taisho-era secret! Mr. Rengoku’s a cool big brother! While I was training with him, he taught me all kinds of things, and he treated me well! Not only that, but Mr. Rengoku is a big eater, too! We’d have sweet potato rice cooked in a pot this big, and the two of us would eat it all up!”

How to Use Gender-Neutral 3rd Person Pronouns in Japanese:

Note: I am not a native Japanese speaker, and I only have a conversational level in Japanese, as opposed to a fluent level. As such, please don't take anything I say as gospel.

Japanese pronouns are an open class of words in Japanese, rather than a closed class of words like they are in English. While that doesn't mean one can do anything one wants with pronouns in Japanese, it does mean one can mess around with them quite a lot. Pronouns are much less restrictive in Japanese than they are in English. One reason for this is that they don't decline. For example, 私 watashi covers I, me, my and mine, and how its case is decided is dependent on the particle that follows it.

私は watashi wa / 私が watashi ga = I (nominative) 私を watashi wo = me (accusative) 私に watashi ni = me (dative) 私と watashi to / 私から watashi kara = me (ablative) 私の watashi no = my / mine (genitive)

Another reason pronouns are more of an open class in Japanese is because they can often be dropped. In fact, Japanese sentences can often sound downright wrong if you don't omit certain pronouns.

* 「私の名前はニックです。」 ^ "Watashi no namae wa Nikku desu." (awkward) * 「名前はニックです。」 ^ "Namae wa Nikku desu." (natural) (= "My name is Nic.")

* 「私のネコは私が大好きです。」 ^ "Watashi no neko wa watashi ga daisuki desu." (awkward) * 「ネコは私が大好きです。」 ^ "Neko wa watashi ga daisuki desu." (natural) (= "My cat loves me.")

* 「あなたのネコはかわいいです。」 ^ "Anata no neko wa kawaii desu." (awkward and borderline rude)[1] * 「ネコはかわいいです。」 ^ "Neko wa kawaii desu." (natural) (= "Your cat is cute.")

* 「あの人はここに来てもいい。」 ^ "Ano hito wa koko ni kitemo ii desu." (awkward sometimes)[2] * 「ここに来てもいい。」 ^ "Koko ni kitemo ii desu." (natural) (= "He/She can come here.")

[1] Calling someone あなた anata in polite speech is usually considered very disrespectful. It's recommended to instead use a person's name with a polite honorific, with さん -san being the safest option.

[2] This is only awkward if the topic has already been established. For example, it would be awkward if the sentence followed something like this:

* 「あの人はあそこにいる。」 ^ "Ano hito wa asoko ni iru." (= "He/She is over there.")

Once the topic has been established, it's usually good to drop the topic upon repetition until a new topic is introduced. For instance:

* 「この人は友達です。アダムと言います。アメリカから来て、３０歳です。趣味はカラオケと料理です。１年くらい存じています。大事なカンパニーのメンバーだと思います。」 ^ "Kono hito wa tomodachi desu. Adamu to iimasu. Amerika kara kite, sanjuu-sai desu. Shumi wa karaoke to ryouri desu. Ichi-nen kurai sonjite imasu. Daiji na kanpanii no menbaa da to omoimasu." (= "This person is my friend. He is called Adam. He comes from America, and he is 30 years old. His hobbies are karaoke and cooking. He and I have been acquainted for about 1 year. I think he will be an important member of the company.")

Because pronouns are open class in Japanese, they're very flexible. It's quite easy to mix and match pronouns in Japanese. This is one reason why a lot of Japanese media has casts who use different 1st person pronouns. For example, in the Japanese version of Paper Mario, マリオストーリー Mario Story, every Partner who joins Mario uses a different 1st person pronoun:

Kurio (Goombario): オイラ oira Kameki (Kooper): オレッチ orecchi Pinkie (Bombette): あたい atai Paretta (Parakarry): わたし watashi Resaresa (Bow): あたくし atakushi Akarin (Watt): あたち atachi Opuku (Sushie): あたしゃ atasha Pokopie (Lakilester): オレ ore

This helps flesh them out and gives them all distinctive characteristics.

Now, let's talk about 3rd person pronouns in Japanese. In Japanese, the two binary pronouns are 彼 kare (he) and 彼女 kanojo (she). They're not actually used that often, but they're still good to know, especially since many English-written guides for learning Japanese make liberal use of these two pronouns.

* 「彼は男ですから、「僕」や「俺」などの一人称代名詞を使うことが好きです。」 ^ "Kare wa otoko desu kara, "boku" ya "ore" nado no ichi-nin shou daimeishi wo tsukau koto ga suki desu." (= "He is a man, and so likes using first-person pronouns like "boku" and "ore."")

* 「彼女は女ですから、「あたし」や「あたい」などの一人称代名詞を使うことが好きです。」 ^ "Kanojo wa onna desu kara, "atashi" ya "atai" nado no ichi-nin shou daimeishi wo tsukau koto ga suki desu." (= "She is a woman, and so likes using first-person pronouns like "atashi" and "atai."")

(Note that 彼 kare and 彼女 kanojo can also mean boyfriend and girlfriend respectively, though ボーイフレンド booifurendo, ガールフレンド gaarufurendo and パートナー paatonaa, all borrowed from English, are more commonly used these days.)

Here's the problem: 彼 kare and 彼女 kanojo form their plurals by adding ら -ra to the pronoun. You would use 彼ら kare-ra when referring to more than one person if the people are all male or there is at least one male in the group, and you would use 彼女ら kanojo-ra only if all the people being referred to are female. So, Japanese has a similar dilemma to French and Spanish, because they is gendered.

Except, in Japanese, there are a ton of gender-neutral pronouns you can use to refer to a single person. Some linguists even argue that Japanese doesn't technically have pronouns, as pronouns in Japanese work a lot more like glorified nouns.

To get an idea of the gender-neutral pronouns in Japanese, it's good to have some knowledge of how the こそあど言葉 ko-so-a-do words work. To be brief, こ ko, そ so, あ a and ど do are special morphemes that indicate position. Simply put, こ ko refers to something close to the speaker, そ so refers to something close to the listener, あ a refers to something close to neither or to something extract, and ど do refers to something interrogative.

Through this system, こ ko, そ so and あ a can be used to create various 3rd person pronouns, while do ど can be used to create various interrogative pronouns, like who and what. I won't talk about the interrogative pronouns here, because I feel that will clog up the post, but I will absolutely be talking about all the equivalents Japanese has for the singular they.

1: kochira, sochira, achira (こちら,そちら,あちら):

This is one of the safer ways to refer to people. These words literally translate to this way, that way and that way over there, relating to direction. They're more vague ways of referring to direction than ここ koko, そこ soko and あそこ asoko, which indicate an exact direction but can't be used as pronouns.

They are used to:

1) indicate a direction

* 「こちらにあると思う。」 ^ "Kochira ni aru to omou." (= "I think it's here.")

* 「ええ、本当に？そちらに置いたから。」 ^ "Ee, hontou ni? Sochira ni oita kara." (= "Huh, really? Because I put it there.")

* 「そう言えば、あちらにあるかもしれない。」 ^ "Sou ieba, achira ni aru ka mo shirenai." (= "Now that you mention it, it might be over there.")

2) refer to people in the 1st person (こちら kochira) or the 2nd person (そちら sochira)

* 「そちらとパーティーに行けて、とても嬉しかったです。」 ^ "Sochira to paatii ni ikete, totemo ureshikatta desu." (= "I was very happy to be able to go to the party with you.")

* 「こちらこそ。」 ^ "Kochira koso." (= "Me too.")

3) refer to people in the 3rd person

* 「こちらは内のクラスを混ざる。」 ^ "Kochira wa uchi no kurasu wo mazaru." (= "He/She/They is going to join our class.")

* 「そちらは私の親友だもん。」 ^ "Sochira wa watashi no shin'yuu da mon." (= "He/She/They is my best friend, of course.")

* 「私とあちらが仲よくない。」 ^ "Watashi to achira ga naka yokunai." (= "He/She/They and I don't get along.")

When used as 3rd person pronouns, こちら kochira and そちら sochira can typically only be used to refer to someone who is present, while あちら achira can be used to refer to someone who is either present or absent.

These words cannot be made plural, although they can be interpreted as plural depending on context.

2: koitsu, soitsu, aitsu (こいつ,そいつ,あいつ):

This is not a safe way to refer to someone if you don't know what you're doing. It literally translates to this guy, that guy and that guy over there, with the guy being gender-neutral the same way you guys is in English. It's often used by men rather than women, as it's considered quite "un-ladylike," though women can use it. It's used to refer objects, or to people who are of equal or inferior social standing to the speaker, such as friends or children. It can have a rude or hostile edge to it in some contexts.

They are used to:

1) indicate an object

* 「こいつがほしい！」 ^ "Koitsu ga hoshii!" (= "I want this one!")

* 「そいつを貰う！」 ^ "Soitsu wo morau!" (= "I'll take that one!")

* 「それじゃ、私はあいつを買わなきゃ！」 ^ "Sore ja, watashi wa aitsu wo kawanakya!" (= "Then I've just gotta buy that one over there!")

2) indicate a person or animal:

* 「こいつは友達だ。」 ^ "Koitsu wa tomodachi da." (= "He/She/They is a friend.")

* 「そいつ、歌うのは上手だな。」 ^ "Soitsu, utau no wa jouzu da na." (= "He/She/They is good at singing.")

* 「さっき、公園にあいつを会った。」 ^ "Sakki, kouen ni aitsu wo atta." (= "I met him/her/them in the park earlier.")

To make any of these pronouns plural, simply add ら -ra to their end, or add たち -tachi to their end.

3: kono yatsu, sono yatsu, ano yatsu (この奴,その奴,あの奴):

This means the same thing and work exactly the same way as こいつ koitsu, そいつ soitsu and あいつ aitsu. In fact, こいつ koitsu, そいつ soitsu and あいつ aitsu come from この奴 kono yatsu, その奴 sono yatsu and あの奴 ano yatsu. Before that, though, they entered a "transitional phase" and became こやつ koyatsu, そやつ soyatsu and あやつ ayatsu. Those are archaic now, but このやつ kono yatsu, そのやつ sono yatsu and あのやつ ano yatsu are occasionally used instead of こいつ koitsu, そいつ soitsu or あいつ aitsu, usually for emphasis.

They are used to:

1) indicate an object

* 「この奴が最高のゲームだ。」 ^ "Kono yatsu ga saikou no geemu da." (= "This one is the best game.")

* 「その奴のエンジンは壊れたと思う。」 ^ "Sono yatsu no enjin wa kowareta to omou." (= "I think that one's engine is broken.")

* 「私、あの奴が聞こえる。」 ^ "Watashi, ano yatsu ga kikoeru." (= "I can hear that one over there.")

2) indicate a person or animal:

* 「このやつは悔しすぎる！」 ^ "Kono yatsu wa kuyashisugiru!" (= "He/She/They is too frustrating!")

* 「みんなはそのやつが好きだ。」 ^ "Minna wa sono yatsu ga suki da." (= "Everyone likes him/her/them.")

* 「あのやつ、本当に最低だな。」 ^ "Ano yatsu, hontou ni saitei da na." (= "He/She/They is really the worst.")

Like こいつ koitsu, そいつ soitsu and あいつ aitsu, simply add ら -ra to make the pronouns plural, or add たち -tachi.

4: kono kata, sono kata, ano kata (この方,その方,あの方):

This is the absolute most polite way you can refer to someone. This is generally how you'd refer to a superior, such as your boss, or, in some cases, someone you really admire. It's made by combining この kono, その sono or あの ano with 方 kata, a respectful word for person.

* 「この方は私の上司です。」 ^ "Kono kata wa watashi no joushi desu." (= "He/She/They is my boss.")

* 「私、その方に「すばらしい料理人です」と伝えた。」 ^ "Watashi, sono kata ni, "subarasbii ryouri-nin desu" to tsutaeta." (= "I told him/her/them, "You're an amazing cook."")

* 「私はついにあの方を会えた！」 ^ "Watashi wa tsui ni ano kata wo aeta!" (= "I was finally able to meet him/her/them!")

To make these pronouns plural, add 々 -gata to the end of the word. You can also make these words plural by adding たち -tachi to the end of the word, though this is slightly less polite.

5: kono hito, sono hito, ano hito (この人,その人,あの人):

This is a safe way to refer to someone, because it can be both polite and informal. Thus, you're unlikely to offend anyone by using this. It's made by combining この kono, その sono or あの ano with 人 hito, which is the standard word for person.

* 「この人の一番好きな動物はネコだもん。」 ^ "Kono hito no ichi-ban suki na doubutsu wa neko da mon." (= "His/Her/Their favorite animal is cats, of course.")

* 「その人はコンピュータゲームが大好きだ。」 ^ "Sono hito wa konpyuuta geemu ga daisuki da." (= "He/She/They loves video games.")

* 「昨日、あの人と話した。」 ^ "Kinou, ano hito to hanashita." (= "I spoke with him/her/them yesterday.")

There two says to make these pronouns plural. The first is to add 々 -bito to the end of the word, and the second is to add たち -tachi to the end of the word. Both are pretty safe.

6: kono ko, sono ko, ano ko (この子,その子,あの子):

This, in a way, is the "feminine" equivalent of こいつ koitsu, そいつ soitsu and あいつ aitsu. It's used to refer to people your own age or younger, so it's informal. Generally, guys won't use this for other guys, but they will use it for girls, and girls will call guys and other girls this. It's made by combining この kono, その sono or あの ano with 子 ko, which means child or kid.

* 「この子は何をしてるの？」 ^ "Kono ko wa nani wo shite'ru no?" (= "What's he/she/they doing?")

* 「その子の新しいラジオは高い。」 ^ "Sono ko no atarashii rajio ga takai." (= "His/Her/Their new radio is expensive.")

* 「私、あの子にプレゼントをあげた。」 ^ "Watashi, ano ko ni purezento wo ageta." (= "I gave him/her/them a present.")

To make these pronouns plural, add たち -tachi to the end of the word.

7: kono gaki, sono gaki, ano gaki (このガキ,そのガキ,あのガキ):

You shouldn't use this to refer to someone unless they're your age or younger, and you're either very close to them or want to insult them. It's made by combining この kono, その sono or あの ano with ガキ gaki, which literally means brat.

* 「このガキはいい仲間だけど…」 ^ "Kono gaki wa ii nakama da kedo..." (= "He/She/They is a good friend, but...")

* 「兄さんはそのガキが好きじゃない。」 ^ "Nii san wa sono gaki ga suki ja nai." (= "My brother doesn't like him/her/them.")

* 「あのガキの先生厳しいな！」 ^ "Ano gaki no sensei wa kibishii na!" (= "His/Her/Their teacher is so strict!")

To make these plural, add either ら -ra or たち -tachi to the end of the word.

8: kono yarou, sono yarou, ano yarou (このヤロウ,そのヤロウ,あのヤロウ):

This one is a big no-no unless you're very close with a person your age or younger, or if you want to offend the hell out of someone. It's made by combining この kono, その sono or あの ano with ヤロウ yarou, which literally translates to bastard or, if you're generous, rascal.

* 「このヤロウはビールを盗んだ！」 ^ "Kono yarou wa biiru wo nusunda!" (= "He/She/They stole the beer!")

* 「私、そのヤロウの声が別に好きじゃない。」 ^ "Watashi, sono yarou no koe ga betsu ni suki ja nai." (= "I don't really like his/her/their voice.")

* 「あのヤロウが全然分かれない！」 ^ "Ano yarou ga zenzen wakarenai!" (= "I can't understand him/her/them at all!")

If you want to make the words plural, add ら -ra or たち -tachi to their ends.

9: kore, sore, are (これ,それ,あれ):

This is basically the equivalent of calling someone it. I know some people prefer that, so I thought I'd include these words, which actually translate to this one, that one and that one over there, because Japanese doesn't have a direct word for it. As usual, you probably shouldn't use this for someone, especially if they're older than you, unless they specifically request it or you want to insult them.

They are used to:

1) indicate an object

* 「これは私のリンゴだ。」 ^ "Kore wa watashi no ringo da." (= "This one is my apple.")

* 「私、それを買いたい。」 ^ "Watashi, sore wo kaitai." (= "I want to buy that one.")

* 「あれがネコのボールだ。」 ^ "Are ga neko no booru da." (= "That one over there is the cat's ball.")

2) indicate a person or animal:

* 「私、これに行きたい。」 ^ "Watashi, kore ni ikitai." (= "I want to go with it.")

* 「それは面白い人だ。」 ^ "Sore wa omoshiroi hito da." (= "It is an interesting person.")

* 「あれは音楽が上手だ。」 ^ "Are wa ongaku ga jouzu da." (= "It is good at music.")

As far as I know, these words can't be made plural, but they can be plural in meaning sometimes, depending on context.

How to politely request to be referred to a certain way in Japanese:

To wrap up this post, here's how to politely request to be referred to with a particular pronoun in Japanese. I included the Japanese equivalents for he, she, they and it.

* 「私の優先の人称代名詞は「彼」です。 ^ "Watashi no yuusen no ninshou daimeishi wa "kare" desu." (= "My preferred personal pronoun is "he."")

* 「私の優先の人称代名詞は「彼女」です。」 ^ "Watashi no yuusen no ninshou daimeishi wa "kanojo" desu." (= "My preferred personal pronoun is "she."")

* 「私の優先の人称代名詞は「あの人」です。」 ^ "Watashi no yuusen no ninshou daimeishi wa "ano hito" desu." (= "My preferred personal pronoun is "they."")

* 「私の優先の人称代名詞は「あれ」です。」 ^ "Watashi no yuusen no ninshou daimeishi wa "are" desu." (= "My preferred personal pronoun is "it."")

* 「私は「彼」と呼ぶことが好きです。」 ^ "Watashi wa "kare" to yobu koto ga suki desu." (= "I like to be called "he."")

* 「私は「彼女」と呼ぶことが好きです。」 ^ "Watashi wa "kanojo" to yobu koto ga suki desu." (= "I like to be called "she."")

* 「私は「あの人」と呼ぶことが好きです。」 ^ "Watashi wa "ano hito" to yobu koto ga suki desu." (= "I like to be called "they."")

* 「私は「あれ」と呼ぶことが好きです。」 ^ "Watashi wa "are" to yobu koto ga suki desu." (= "I like to be called "it."")

* 「私に「彼」と呼んでください。」 ^ "Watashi ni "kare" to yonde kudasai." (= "Please call me "he."")

* 「私に「彼女」と呼んでください。」 ^ "Watashi ni "kanojo" to yonde kudasai." (= "Please call me "she."")
