Coin Toss dtiys - Congrats on 400! @gemini-forest

So this is the first dtiys I've done! First off, pose is from a promotional picture for the Miles Morales PS5 game on the steam page here. I could never otherwise.

But the dtiys seemed like the perfect opportunity to mess around with a fun Spider-Man pose and glowy colors. I got to mess with the water color blender which was fun!

The chains made me cry. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Anyway I haven't read Coin Toss yet but I am excited too! (sorry just shoot me) I really enjoyed seeing all your art of wine aunt Michael causing chaos at the tmnt au competition with nailed bats and cheese! Can't wait to learn more about him in the fic!

[oommmmmoo]

Missed opportunity to put 'beyond' as the third option

Oops. I guess that hundred year long nap would make anyone need to go. At least he didn't wet the... bed? ❌️ bath? ❌️ the... the shrine of resurrection? ✅️✅️✅️

Top 10 BL's you've read for 2024?

the top in this 10 is "off the top of my head", tbh. i also didn't list ten, and these aren't in any particular order. these also aren't my all time favorites (necessarily. i think a couple on this list qualify)

Anotoki Kara Sukidattanda to Omo (and its sequel)

here's the thing: this bl is not good and most people aren't going to like it. it is schlocky, messy, and melodramatic, it's borderline surreal, extremely absurd, relentlessly horny, and it has the pacing of a tiktok edit to an early 100 gecs song set to 150% speed. very prototypical in a lot of ways, one of the most unique bl i've ever read in others. an absolute fever dream. but it's one of those things i read at just the right time, and there's something about it that means a lot to me. it's first so you understand how esoteric my taste gets right off the bat and have 0 expectations for anything else i put on this list. also some cws for this one so like you can dm me if you want to know.

Reunion (by 2coin and deulsum)

something you need to know about me is i really love manhwa that people think is boring and by god reunion is that bitch. long-winded, gently achy character study with identity porn. it's shockingly lowkey, grounded, and comforting to read for it's initial premise... that being "poor guy with terminally ill mother poses as the dead grandchild of a rich terminally ill old dude's nanny in order to pay for his mom's treatment and his brother's schooling and oh no there's this mean chaebol grandson who is obsessed with him except it's 7 years later and the chaebol grandson has amnesia and gives his boss a briefcase of cash to buy him" you'll see what i mean when you read it, it's really actually good. you'll like it if you like quiet slowburns.

Eat Your Heart Out (by Samak Satang and AI_tuner)

do you like scalies? do you like amazing worldbuilding? do you like plotlines about social class and eugenics? do you like yandere older brothers? do you like aggressive bottoms who are slutty and insufferable? do you like 2 and a half foot long dicks? boy do i have a one of a kind manhwa for you. eat your heart out was an unexpected delight right from the start due to it's amazing art and character design. but then i got to know helm and i fell deeply, deeply in love. he is just so fucking annoying and borderline unlikeable at times in a way that makes him an amazing protagonist. crazy about this one, a new favorite for sure. also i am not joking about dick size. you are reading "two and a half foot long dick" and thinking to yourself "surely, danny is exaggerating" i am not exaggerating. please pray for helm. he is not making it out alive.

Tameshi ni Komando Itte mita

if you like domsubverse you probably won't like this domsubverse. if you don't like domsubverse im also not sure if you'll like this. really, to enjoy this you should have a neutral opinion on domsubverse and a positive opinion on kissing the homies goodnight. dom getting dommed. sweet, bunny-soft, funny, and i just really love the relationship between the two leads.

90 Days for the Delicacy

phew, look at those two whole normal recommendations! time for bdsm and gore! i can't really tell you anything about the plot of this one without spoiling it. im sorry, i hate when people do that to me, too. if you know what my favorite manga are: this is in a similar genre.

Nekura to Gyaru Otoko

a simple manga about an outgoing gyaru boy, his childhood friend who has spent his life taking up as little space as possible, and the quiet, painful conflict that causes. one of the first manga i read this year that made a lasting impression on me. i love the art, i love the characters, i love the quiet moments in the story, i love it's bluntness, i love it's weight and temperature and how it tastes when i read it. a must-read for chronic doormats and those who would rather die than burden people they love, imo.

One Summer Day (by ker)

grim reaper fucks up a reaping reaaaal bad and has to babysit his charge until the paperwork comes in. unfortunately being still-alive when you're not supposed to be comes with some... side effects. such as becoming a huge murderslut. good news though! the cure for undead murderslutism is in fact nasty sloppy bareback marathon sex. this is by the same author+artist as sign and i absolutely love it. the characters are likeable and you can feel that this one is going to suckerpunch you with pain between the multi-hour fuckfests.

Spectrophilia

a young man is haunted by his past... literally. and, uh, hornily. after attending the funeral of his highschool bully/situationship/best friend the protagonist finds himself plagued by raunchy "dreams", the star of which being his dead friend. i think i started this in 2023 and i don't care you should read spectrophilia. the art style is really unique and im crazy about it. slow, quiet, a hint of yandere. don't ask me why two entries on this list feature dead people.

OΣG!!! = Oh My God

lets round this out with a banger i fucking love oh my god, it's great, it's gore-camp, it's playfully dark, and the characters are fun! it's a yandere serial killer/salaryman romance wrapped up in an amazing art style and slutty bloodsplatter. this one's light, easy, fun, and exactly what it's trying to be. i adore it.

[intotheelliwoods]

Gonna ask this to a few people that inspire me, but how do you take inspiration from things without feeling like whatever you make is just bad in comparison? Or like a downgraded version of the thing(s) that inspired you?

(If this is too negative feel free to delete/ignore, I'm sorry)

Oh gosh this is such an interesting question since, I dont think I really have feelings of thinking my version is bad? Or that I am just a copy?

I am honestly just grateful my work became as popular as it is in the first place haha- low expectations going in to begin with. That and, I am very aware my art style isnt as defined and polished as other peoples styles, but I have come to terms with this! And hey the improvement in my own artwork over the past year is a massive trip if you go back through some of my older stuff- I am improving, slowly.

I mean, 2AL started by complete accident, and was "inspired" from me wishing the Leos from OMO or MNMC would hug it out already- but if you were to compare 2AL to one of those, they are very different. Hell even comparing OMO and MNMC, same starting point, but still very different.

I think my only advice to other people trying to make an AU is to try and find some core theme/idea and work around that, rather than gather a bunch of little things from other sources you like into a big pile. Find some key message to start up a base with.

[weirdolydiaprower]

Bf and pico argue while mid pee

That's quite the prompt there. XD

[chuuvtw]

Heyoo

Idk if this has been asked before but when did you start liking omorashi and how did you realize? I'm just curious and bored (and horny)

I've not actually been asked this before. Sorry if I ramble <3

See, I feel like I've subconsciously liked omo since I was a kid, but obviously, I was a kid, so it was not really a kink but just a fixation. I used to rewach scenes where a character pissed themselves like over and over again, just sort of entranced, I guess.

I can't really give a specific age for when I started to fixate on it but I realised "oh fuck I'm into that" as a teenager, about 14-ish.

It really was a smack to the face that omo genuinely turned me on, I'd never really been super attracted to anything before and then to realise the first thing your into is piss (probably the most memed kink to exist) was a "jesus fuck" moment.

Anime and Manga where the things that made me realise I was super into omo, mainly the part in Prison School where the guy is standing and just slowly starts to piss himself while calling it an emergency (I don't remember the actual dialogue but something like that)

I'd also blame Blue Exorcist because I swear to god the author had some sort of piss kink because there's no way there is just so many mentions of piss in the manga without the author having one. To give a specific part, when the characters are on some sort of mission out of the school and that one guy pissed himself in fear (I don't know if he actually pisses himself in the anime but I'm fairly sure he did in the manga)

Now, this one is different because it never happened in the show itself, but while watching deathnote, I just remember thinking to myself, "What if one of them had to piss..." while L and Light were handcuffed together. 😅.

I also remember seeing so omo art online (I never really had any online restriction) specifically one of Kaneki pissing himself, and holy fuck something awoke in me that day. I tried to find the art recently, and I can't find it anywhere anymore, which does suck but I know for a FACT it did exist.

I hope this all answers your question :)

[stoneshipmapper]

Did a collab with @omo321 where we colored each other's line art! This is my work on their Yuyuko. We each did redraws of sprites from the fighters!

[twinkleomorashi]

Do you have any headcanons about your fic’s characters?

I actually have a whole document of these that has never seen the light of day. Until now. Some of these are canon bc that’s just how writing head canons about ur own characters works ig. Sorry this massively long!!!

I have both normal and omo/ nsfw ones of course!

June

Loves a fruity little drink. Any fruity little drink offered is a win in her books. Also loves diet coke. Hates drinking water.

Hates any sort of bug or animal you would call an exterminator for.

Takes obnoxiously long showers

Really terrible at not getting her way. Will have a tantrum

Youngest sibling if it wasn’t obvious.

Actually a really good cook, but nobody believes her

Possessive. It contributes to the biting / marking kink she has, but she hasn’t made that connection yet (everyone else has)

Favorite flavor of ice cream is cotton candy because Bethany Mota said it was hers in like 2014 so June forced herself to like it and is still convinced she does.

Loves gossip. Has never minded her business ever.

Kind of a klepto if we’re being honest but this is canon

TERRIBLE driver. Assigned passenger princess by others out of fear

August

extremely obvious blusher

sense of humor of a twelve year old boy despite trying to act more mature than she is

subconsciously collects rocks. Her pockets always have some in them that she found throughout the day. She sometimes forgets to take them and they fuck up the dryer.

Cries watching teen soap operas but nobody is allowed to know that

Terrible eyesight without her glasses

Fiddles with her glasses when she’s lying.

Scared of storms

Mommy issues so bad

Doesn’t like the taste of beer, but drinks it anyway because she thinks it makes her look more masc

honestly has terrible internanalized toxic masculinity

favorite band is The Killers

has kept a diary since she was 14

Taj

car smells like car air freshener desperately trying and failing to conceal the smell of weed

art major, makes a living drawing furry porn. Says it’s for the bit. It might not be.

Blood is probably at least 25% energy drink at this point

“Anything for the bit!” (Actively gets herself into Situations)

Terrible at budgeting

loves hot chip and charge her phone

favorite flavor of anything is green apple. Likes the light green monster because she thinks it’s green apple. It’s not.

Loves heights and climbing, is really good at it even though she’s short

sleeps in weird positions, very heavy sleeper

Exclusively wears really stupid graphic t shirts

Her one exception to her lesbianism is shadow the hedgehog and she’s dead serious about it

Massive praise kink.

Isla

Prefers coffee to tea. Has not had tea in two months because she thinks people expect her to drink tea and thus she refuses to.

Self proclaimed frigid bitch (is actually so sweet). Total defense mechanism.

Twirls her hair when she’s nervous.

Loves fruit and veg.

Avid reader, prefers non fiction. Likes to research psychology and human behavior.

High alcohol tolerance, but no where near as high as she thinks it is. “I’m completely sober right now” (is actively stumbling around and giggling)

Squeamish as hell. Can’t handle horror movies or even watch like… wrestling or something.

Psych major who has never once communicated her own feelings honestly ever so uh

Laughs really loud, is embarrassed by it

Struggles to make friends because she’s too self conscious to talk to people.

Was a horse girl as a child. Still is lowkey a horse girl but she’s embarrassed about it and refuses to discuss it.

Terrified of heights

porn specific lol both actual and piss

June

average sized bladder, though it’s on the weaker side

too stubborn to admit to others that she needs to pee until it becomes an emergency

Like won’t admit it until the VERY last second where she’s starting to panic about wetting herself

Squirmyyy, moves her hips a lot

Loves to give hickies. Huge marking kink. Goes along with her possessiveness.

Dominant for self-satisfying reasons. August immediately becomes more dominant if she sees June trying to be, but that’s what June wants from her anyway

August

Not super in-tune with her needs. Forgets to pee and ends up desperate later on as a consequence

Usually can stay pretty composed when desperate, but has her limits. Will admit it with little hesitation.

Instinctively grabs herself when desperate, though often catches and stops herself if people are around

Way more willing to pee in containers or outside than most people are

Has tried to pee standing up many times. It has never once worked. She has never told anyone this.

Loud..

Loveeees to top. Puts others pleasure before her own in every situation. Has to be explicitly guided into putting her own first.

Taj

Veryy vocal most of the time, mostly unashamed

Diuretics effect her pretty bad, despite how many energy drinks she drinks

Bladder’s actually pretty big and strong under normal circumstances. She can hold it for a while if she puts her mind to it and doesn’t give into the temptation to “let some out”.

That being said, she’s not particularly strong-willed most of the time… Easily tempted by the thought of relief and that can override her logic about the consequences of giving in.

Weirdo perv. Massive praise kink. Very obedient and eager to please

Tops from the bottom.

Dangerously close to crossing too many wires in her brain about a certain something..

Isla

Embarrassed at the mere idea of someone knowing she has to pee

Will not say a goddamn word if she’s desperate

Will literally be pleading for help but doing in roundabout ways that very rarely directly mentions the problem at hand

Huge bladder, but it tends to be weak and sore for a few days if she loses control of it

Secretly a huge pervert, but will barely even admit that to herself

Once she gets the chance to be one though??? Lord..

Soft but firm domme

Bottoms from the top

[justpottytime]

I just saw that Micro-Link Omo art and it gave me a prompt idea:

•Person B gets accidentally shrunk and person A finds B as the size of a toy.

•While A finds a way how to get B back to normal, B has the urge to go really badly.

•A quickly has to find something for B to pee in either:

A. A giant toilet/potty chair as A holds B as they squirm and a little frighten, then lets it go as tiny pee-pee piddles make some noise in said toilet/potty

B. A toy sized toilet for B to sit on as they are relived that they made it.

C. A Bowl/Cup/potted plant as B would be bashfully blushing as A sits them and encouraging them to go potty, and B tinkles slowly while red in the cheeks.

D. B wets themselves and is very ashamed as they start to cry. A comforts them and gets them a pair of dry doll pants making B feel better.

The rest is up to you, what prompt would you choose?

Awwwww, this is so adorable! Micro omo is such a cute thought, there's so many ways to play it! Personally I have a huge weakness for B and C, especially the idea of them having to crouch behind a potted plant - which, for someone so tiny, would be as big as a tree to them! At least it provides lots of cover... Now let's just hope A can find a way to fix this quickly, before B has to go again!

Thanks for the ask!

[kathaynesart]

Legitimately, sincerely, I’d love to see your take on a “What if?” with Future!Leo in the present with Casey after the movie’s events. Some have already done those stories, I really like Trial and Error, but your spanking, stinking excellent and I love your art style and writing. If nothing else, it’s just cause I appreciate your take on the series.

Thank you so much! And so sorry for the late reply, I have received so many wonderful messages that I can't answer them all for fear of bogging down my Tumblr with nothing but me crying and thanking everyone! I might do a compilation of screenshots of these answers if I can make the time to respond to some of the big ones in a single compacted post.

Trial and Error, by ApatheticRobots is absolutely wonderful and has definitely turned me into an emotional puddle. I highly recommend everyone checking it out on AO3. There is also Odd Man Out, by Cosmocrow which really leans into the relationship between father and son that had me in tears. Both stories are fantastic.

My take would indeed be very different from either, but that more has to do with when our story arcs take place. Neither T&E's or OMO Leo really get the chance to heal until going into the past, while mine is doing all the grunt work in his future timeline. All goes well, there will be a point where my Future Leo will be asked this theoretical possibility and what he would do if confronted with the dum-dum that still haunts him.

[threestripeslider]

Hey! I only just found your writing blog but I’ve been a fan of your art account and OMO for a while!! I was just wondering if you have a schedule for posting or if you just post at your own pace? This is not to rush you or anything! I was just wondering if there are certain times I should look out for every few months for a new chapter. I love your art and writing so much!! I hope you’re having a great summer!!

i wouldn't really say this is my writing blog, just the blog im willing to talk about my fics about lmao i dont really wanna talk about my fics on my art blog.

as for your question; no, i do not have schedule. i usually try in the beginning but then it starts to stress me out, so i tend to not follow through anymore. so guys will get chapters when you get chapters lmfao.

[dokidoki-muffin]

I been filtering through your blog, and a thought crossed my mind. I’ve seen you stated that you adore both tickling in sfw and nsfw nature, can’t blame you because I feel the same haha, and was wondering if you’ve ever thought of omo x tickling? I’ve seen some other nsfw tickle artist/bloggers interact with those field of things and was just curious on your thoughts! Considering some of your spice art, it seems like you would anyway.☺️

Hello 🙃 I've loved a broad spectrum of tickling for many years now 💖✨ Although I have to admit omo is not really my cup of tea 😅 No judgement intended ofc!! 🙏✨ Everybody is different and free to enjoy what they want! 💖 I am just personally not into it.. like generally. Doesn't matter if tickling is involved or not 🙃🙈

炭治郎「卑怯者!!」

Tanjiro “Hikyo-mono!!”

Tanjiro “You coward!”

猗窩座「貴様の顔…!! 覚えたぞ小僧！次会った時は、お前の脳髄(のうずい)をぶちまけてやる!!!」

Akaza “Kisamano kao…!! Oboetazo Kozo! Tsugi atta-tokiwa, omaeno nozui’o buchi-makete-yaru!!!”

Akaza “I know what you look like, boy! The next time we meet, I’m going to spray your brain matter everywhere!”

我妻善逸（炭治郎でも、落ち込んだり、だめかもしれないって思っちゃうことあるんだな。そりゃそうだよな。煉獄さんみたいな、鍛え抜かれた“音”がする人でさえ、死んじゃったんだからな。悲しいし、取り乱すよな。伊之助だってギャン泣きだった。いっぱい悔しかったんだろうな。どんな強そうな人だって、苦しいことや悲しいことがあるんだよな）

Agatsuma Zen’itsu (Tanjiro-demo, ochikon-dari, dame-kamo shire-naitte omocchau koto arun-dana. Sorya so-dayona. Rengoku-san-mitaina, kitae-nukareta otoga suru hitode-sae, shinjattan-dakarana. Kanashiishi, torimidasu-yona. Inosuke-datte gyan-naki datta. Ippai kuyashi-kattan-darona. Donna tsuyo-sona hito-datte, kurushii kotoya kanashii kotoga arun-dayona.)

Zenitsu Agatsuma (So, even Tanjiro can sink into despair and feel hopeless, too. Well, why not? Even someone who sounded as well-trained as Rengoku ended up dead. That would make anyone sad and fall right apart. Look at Inosuke. Even he was bawling. I guess he was beyond frustrated. Even the strongest person can suffer and feel sorrow, huh?)

善逸（だけど、ず―――っと蹲(うずくま)ってたって仕方ないから、傷ついた心を叩いて叩いて立ち上がる。煉獄さんも、きっとそういう人だったはず。そういう音の人だった。ちょっと風変わりだったけど、強くて優しい音だった）

Zen’itsu (Dakedo, zuuuuuuutto uzukumatte-tatte shikata-nai-kara, kizu-tsuita kokoro’o tataite tataite tachi-agaru. Rengoku-sanmo, kitto so-iu hito datta-hazu. So-iu otono hito datta. Chotto fu-gawari datta-kedo, tsuyokute yasashii oto datta.)

Zenitsu (Even still, since there’s no point in cowering forever, they beat their wounded souls again and again and get back on their feet. I’m sure that Rengoku was that kind of person, too. That’s the kind of sound he gave off. Not that it wasn’t a little odd, but his sound was strong and kind.)

善逸「炭治郎！こっそりまんじゅうもらってきたから、食おうぜ！」

Zen’itsu “Tanjiro! Kossori manju moratte-kita-kara, kuoze!”

Zenitsu “Tanjiro! I secretly snagged us some bean paste buns, so let’s eat!”

寺内きよ「ああ！炭治郎さんがいませぇん!! あ��――っ、善逸さんごめんなさぁい!!」

Terauchi Kiyo “Aa! Tanjiro-sanga imaseen!! Aaaaaaa, Zen’itsu-san gomen-nasaai!!”

Kiyo Terauchi “Oh no! Tanjiro’s missing! Oh! Zenitsu! I’m so sorry!”

善逸「いや全然大丈夫。どしたの？」

Zen’itsu “Iya, zen-zen daijobu. Doshitano?”

Zenitsu “No, I’m totally fine. What’s wrong?”

きよ「焦点が大丈夫じゃないですぅ！ほんとにごめんなさい！炭治郎さんがどこにもいなくって。炭治郎さん、傷が治ってないのに鍛錬なさってて、しのぶ様もピキピキなさってて…!! 安静にって言われてるのに！」

Kiyo “Shotenga daijobuja nai-desuu!! Hontoni gomen-nasai! Tanjiro-sanga doko-nimo inakutte. Tanjiro-san, kizuga naotte-nai-noni tanren nasattete, Shinobu-samamo piki-piki nasattete…!! Anseinitte iwareteru—noni!!”

Kiyo “Your focus is totally off! I really am sorry! Tanjiro’s nowhere to be found, so… Tanjiro’s wounds aren’t even healed yet, but he’s been training, so Lady Shinobu has really been on edge, too! He was told to rest in bed!”

善逸「んっ！腹の傷かなり深かったんだよね？馬鹿なの？」

Zen’itsu “N! Harano kizu kanari fuka-kattan-dayone? Baka nano?”

Zenitsu “That stomach wound of his was pretty deep, right? How dumb is that?”

炭治郎（煉獄さんの鴉… ありがとう。煉獄さんの意を汲んで、案内してくれている）

Tanjiro (Rengoku-sanno karasu… Arigato. Rengoku-sanno i’o kunde, annai shite-kurete-iru.)

Tanjiro (Rengoku’s crow… Thanks! He’s carrying out Rengoku’s will by guiding me to his house.)

炭治郎「あっ、うっぐ… くっ、うう…ああ…」

Tanjiro “A, uggu… Ku, uu… Aa…”

炭治郎「千寿郎…君？煉獄杏寿郎さんの訃報(ふほう)はお聞きでしょうか…… 杏寿郎さんからお父上と千寿郎さんへの言葉を預かりましたので… お伝えに参りました」

Tanjiro “Senjuro…kun? Rengoku Kyojuro-sanno fuhowa okiki-deshoka…… Kyojuro-san-kara otosamato Senjuro-san-eno kotoba’o azukari-mashita-node… otsutaeni mairi-mashita.”

Tanjiro “Are you Senjuro? Have you heard of Kyojuro Rengoku’s passing? I have messages from Kyojuro for his father and for you, Senjuro. So I’ve come to relay them to you.”

千寿郎「…兄から？兄のことはすでに承知しておりますが…… あの…大丈夫ですか？あなた顔が真っ青ですよ」

Senjuro “…Ani-kara? Anino kotowa sudeni shochi-shite ori-masuga…… Ano… Daijobu desuka? Anata kaoga massao desuyo.”

Senjuro “From my brother? I already know what happened to my brother. Excuse me! Are you all right? Your face is deadly pale!”

炭治郎「あ…」

Tanjiro “A…”

煉獄槇寿郎「やめろ!! どうせ下ら���ことを言い遺(のこ)しているんだろう！たいした才能も無いのに剣士などなるからだ！だから死ぬんだ!! くだらない… 愚かな息子だ、杏寿郎は!!」

Rengoku Shinjuro “Yamero!! Dose kudaran koto’o ii-nokoshite-irun-daro! Taishita sainomo nai-noni kenshi-nado naru-karada! Dakara shinunda!! Kudaranai… Orokana musukoda, Kyojurowa!!”

Shinjuro Rengoku “Knock it off! He would’ve only left the most worthless of messages, anyway. Look what he got for becoming a swordsman when he had no real talent! No wonder he died! Worthless! What a fool of a son Kyojuro was!”

槇寿郎「人間の能力は生まれた時から決まってる。才能のある者は極(ごく)一部。あとは有象無象(うぞうむぞう)。何の価値もない塵芥(ちりあくた)だ!! うう、杏寿郎もそうだ。大した才能は無かった。死ぬに決まってるだろう」

Shinjuro “Ningenno noryokuwa umareta-toki-kara kimatteru. Sainono aru monowa goku-ichibu. Atowa uzo-muzo. Nanno kachimo nai chiri-akuta-da!! Uu, Kyojuromo soda. Taishita sainowa nakatta. Shinuni kimatteru-daro.”

Shinjuro “A person’s talent level is determined the day he’s born. Only a mere handful have any talent. The rest are just members of the masses! Completely useless trash, they are! Kyojuro was in that group. He had no real talent. So why wouldn’t he end up dead?”

槇寿郎「千寿郎!! 葬式は終わったんだ！いつまでもしみったれた顔をするな!!」

Shinjuro “Senjuro!! Soshikiwa owattanda! Itsu-mademo shimittareta kao’o suruna!!”

Shinjuro “Senjuro! The funeral’s over now. It’s high time you wiped that gloomy look off your face!”

炭治郎「…ちょっと！あまりにも酷い言い方だ。そんな風に言うのはやめてください！」

Tanjiro “…Chotto! Amari-nimo hidoi iikata-da. Sonna-funi iu-nowa yamete kudasai!”

Tanjiro “Hold on! That’s going way too far! Please stop talking about him like that!”

槇寿郎「何だおまえは！出て行け。うちの敷居を跨(また)ぐな…！」

Shinjuro “Nanda omaewa! Dete-ike. Uchino shikii’o mataguna…!”

Shinjuro “Who the hell are you? Get out! Don’t you dare set foot on our property!”

炭治郎「俺は、鬼殺隊の…」

Tanjiro “Orewa, Kisatsu-Taino…”

Tanjiro “I’m with… the Demon Slayer Corps!”

槇寿郎「んっ！お前… そうか、お前… “日の呼吸”の使い手だな？そうだろう!!」

Shinjuro “N! Omae… Soka, omae… ‘Hino Kokyu’no tsukaite dana? Sodaro!!”

Shinjuro “You… I get it now! You… You’re a wielder of the Sun Breathing technique, right? Am I right?”

炭治郎「“日の呼吸”？何のことですか？」

Tanjiro “‘Hino Kokyu’? Nanno koto desuka?”

Tanjiro “Sun Breathing? What are you talking about?”

槇寿郎「ぬうっ！��んっ！」

Shinjuro “Nuu! Nun!”

炭治郎（速い!! 素人(しろうと)の動きじゃないぞ…!!）

Tanjiro (Hayai!! Shirotono ugokija naizo…!!)

Tanjiro (So fast! Those were no amateur moves!)

千寿郎「父上!! やめてください!! その人の顔を見てください！具合が悪いんですよ!!」

Senjuro “Chichiue!! Yamete kudasai!! Sono hitono kao’o mite kudasai! Guaiga waruin-desuyo!!”

Senjuro “Father! Please stop! Just look at his face! Can’t you see that he’s not well?”

槇寿郎「うるさい、黙れ!!」

Shinjuro “Urusai, damare!!”

Shinjuro “You keep your mouth shut!”

千寿郎「うっ…」

Senjuro “U…”

炭治郎「いい加減にしろ、この人でなし!! ぐっ！さっきから一体何なんだ、あんたは!! 命を落とした我が子を侮辱して、殴って!! 何がしたいんだ!!」

Tanjiro “Iikagenni shiro, kono hitode-nashi!! Gu! Sakki-kara ittai nan-nanda, antawa!! Inochi’o otoshita waga-ko’o bujoku-shite, nagutte!! Naniga shitainda!!”

Tanjiro “That’s enough, you monster! Why are you acting like this, anyway? Insulting your own child, who’s lost his life… Striking him… What is it that you want to do?”

槇寿郎「お前、俺たちのことを馬鹿にしているだろう」

Shinjuro “Omae, ore-tachino koto’o bakani shite-iru-daro.”

Shinjuro “You… You’re mocking us, aren’t you?”

炭治郎「どうしてそうなるんだ!! 何を言ってるのかわからない!! 言いがかりだ!!」

Tanjiro “Doshite so narunda!! Nani’o itteru-noka wakara-nai!! Iigakari-da!!”

Tanjiro “What makes you say that? I have no idea what you mean! Now you’re just slandering me!”

槇寿郎「お前が“日の呼吸”の使い手だからだ。その耳飾りを俺は知ってる！書いてあった!!」

Shinjuro “Omaega ‘Hino Kokyu’no tsukaite dakarada. Sono mimi-kazari’o orewa shitteru! Kaite-atta!!”

Shinjuro “That’s because you’re a wielder of the Sun Breathing technique! I know all about those earrings! I-It was in the book!”

炭治郎（ああ… “日の呼吸”ってもしかして、ヒノカミ神楽のことなのか？）

Tanjiro (Aa… ‘Hino Kokyu’tte moshika-shite, Hinokami-Kagurano koto nanoka?)

Tanjiro (Sun Breathing… Could he be talking about Hinokami Kagura?)

槇寿郎「始まりの呼吸…！一番初めに生まれた呼吸。最強の御技(みわざ)！そして全ての呼吸は“日の呼吸”の派生！全ての呼吸が“日の呼吸”の後追いに過ぎない！“日の呼吸”の猿真似をし、劣化した呼吸だ！火も水も風も全てが!!」

Shinjuro “Hajimarino Kokyu…! Ichi-ban hajimeni umareta Kokyu. Saikyono miwaza! Soshite subeteno Kokyuwa ‘Hino Kokyu’no hasei! Subeteno Kokyuga ‘Hino Kokyu’no ato-oini sugi-nai! ‘Hino Kokyu’no saru-mane’o shi, rekka-shita Kokyuda! Himo Mizumo Kasemo subetega!!”

Shinjuro “First Breathing. The first breathing technique ever created! The most powerful of them all! And all the other techniques are derived from Sun Breathing! All the others just mimic Sun Breathing. They’re just cheap imitations, retrograde versions of Sun Breathing! Fire, Water, Wind… All of them!”

炭治郎（あ？どういうことだ… うちは代々炭焼きだ。家系図もある。日の呼吸… ヒノカミ神楽… いや、それよりも、そんなことよりも）

Tanjiro (A? Do-iu kotoda… Uchiwa dai-dai sumi-yakida. Kakeizumo aru. Hino Kokyu… Hinokami-Kagura… Iya, sore-yorimo, sonna koto-yorimo)

Tanjiro (What does he mean? We’ve been charcoal burners for generations. We have the records to prove it. Sun Breathing… Hinokami Kagura… No. Never mind that. There’s something more important than that!)

槇寿郎「“日の呼吸”の使い手だからと言って、調子に乗るなよ小僧!!」

Shinjuro “‘Hino Kokyu’no tsukaite-dakarato itte, choshini norunayo Kozo!!”

Shinjuro “Don’t get cocky just because you’re a wielder of the Sun Breathing technique, boy!”

炭治郎「くうう… 乗れるわけないだろうが!! 今俺が自分の弱さに、どれだけ打ちのめされてると思ってんだ！この！糞爺(くそじじい)!!」

Tanjiro “Kuuu… Noreru-wake nai-daroga!! Ima orega jibunno yowasani, doredake uchinome-sareteru-to omottenda! Kono! Kuso-Jijii!!”

Tanjiro “As if I could! Can’t you see how devastated I am by my own weakness? Why, you… miserable old fart!”

千寿郎「危ない!! 父は――」

Senjuro “Abunai!! Chichiwa――”

Senjuro “Look out! My father is…”

炭治郎「煉獄さんの悪口言うな!!」

Tanjiro “Rengoku-sanno waru-guchi iuna!!”

Tanjiro “Don’t you badmouth Rengoku! Don’t you dare!”

千寿郎「元“柱”です！」

Senjuro “Moto ‘Hashira’ desu!”

Senjuro “…a former Hashira!”

炭治郎「うあっ！」

Tanjiro “Ua!”

槇寿郎「でいっ！」

Shinjuro “Dei!”

千寿郎「やめてください、父上!!」

Senjuro “Yamete kudasai, Chichiue!!”

Senjuro “Please stop… Father!”

炭治郎（何でだ、もしヒノカミ神楽が“日の呼吸”だったなら、なんであの時、煉獄さんを助けられなかった!!! 何でだ！何でだ！）

Tanjiro (Nandeda, moshi Hinokami-Kaguraga ‘Hino Kokyu’datta-nara, nande ano-toki, Rengoku-san’o tasuke-rare-nakatta!!! Nandeda! Nandeda!)

Tanjiro (But why? If Hinokami Kagura is a Sun Breathing technique… then, that day, why wasn’t I able to save Rengoku? Why? Why?)

槇寿郎「ぬうっ！ううっ！」

Shinjuro “Nuu! Uu!”

炭治郎（何でなんだ!!!）

Tanjiro (Nande nanda!!!)

Tanjiro (Why couldn’t I?)

槇寿郎「うわっ」

Shinjuro “Uwa.”

千寿郎「あっ」

Senjuro “A.”

槇寿郎「うあ…」

Shinjuro “Ua…”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

炭治郎（やってしまった…）

Tanjiro (Yatte-shimatta…)

Tanjiro (Now look what I’ve done.)

千寿郎「お茶です。どうぞ…」

Senjuro “Ocha desu. Dozo…”

Senjuro “Here’s some tea. Please drink it.”

炭治郎「ああ… ありがとう。ごめんね本当に。お父さん頭突いちゃって…大丈夫だった？」

Tanjiro “Aa… Arigato. Gomenne hontoni. Otosan zutsui-chatte… Daijobu datta?”

Tanjiro “Oh, thank you. Sorry, I mean, for head-butting your father. Is he okay?”

千寿郎「大丈夫だと思います。目を��ましたら、お酒を買いに出かけて行ったので」

Senjuro “Daijobu-dato omoi-masu. Me’o samashi-tara, osake’o kaini dekakete itta-node.”

Senjuro “I think he’ll be fine. He even went out to buy some sake once he came to.”

炭治郎「そっか…」

Tanjiro “Sokka…”

Tanjiro “Is that right?”

千寿郎「ありがとうございます」

Senjuro “Arigato gozai-masu.”

Senjuro “Thank you very much.”

炭治郎「えっ？」

Tanjiro “E?”

Tanjiro “Huh?”

千寿郎「すっきりしました。兄を悪く言われても、僕は口答えすらできなかった。兄は、どのような最期(さいご)だったのでしょうか」

Senjuro “Sukkiri shimashita. Ani’o waruku iware-temo, bokuwa kuchi-gotae-sura deki-nakatta. Aniwa, dono-yona saigo dattano-deshoka.”

Senjuro “You took a load off my mind. I could never even talk back when he badmouthed my brother. What were my brother’s last moments like?”

千寿郎「そうですか…… 兄は最期まで立派に… ありがとうございます…」

Senjuro “Sodesuka…… Aniwa saigo-made rippani… Arigato gozai-masu…”

Senjuro “I see. So, my brother was valiant until the end. Thank you very much.”

炭治郎「いえ、そんな… 力及ばず、申し訳ありません」

Tanjiro “Ie, sonna… Chikara oyobazu, moshi-wake ari-masen.”

Tanjiro “Oh, no, please… Forgive me for coming up short.”

千寿郎「気になさらないでください。兄もきっと、そう言いましたよね？」

Senjuro “Kini nasara-naide kudasai. Animo kitto, so iimashita-yone?”

Senjuro “Please don’t worry about it. I’m sure that my brother told you the same thing, didn’t he?”

千寿郎「父がよく見ていた書物には、心当たりがありまして。これではないかと思うのですが…」

Senjuro “Chichiga yoku mite-ita shomotsu-niwa, kokoro-atariga ari-mashite. Kore-dewa naikato omouno-desuga…”

Senjuro “Something in a book my father often read rang a bell. I believe this must be it.”

炭治郎「あ… ありがとうございます」

Tanjiro “A… Arigato gozai-masu.”

Tanjiro “Th-Thank you very much!”

千寿郎「炭治郎さんが知りたいことは、書かれているでしょうか？」

Senjuro “Tanjiro-sanga shiri-tai kotowa, kakarete-iru-deshoka?”

Senjuro “Is what you’d like to know in those pages?”

炭治郎「こ…これは！」

Tanjiro “Ko…Korewa!”

Tanjiro “L-Look at this!”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

千寿郎「これは！」

Senjuro “Korewa!”

Senjuro “Look at this!”

炭治郎「ああ… ずたずただ… 殆(ほとん)ど読めない。元々こうだったのかな？」

Tanjiro “Aa… Zuta-zutada… Hotondo yome-nai. Moto-moto ko-dattano-kana?”

Tanjiro “It’s ripped to shreds. It’s unreadable for the most part. Was it like this from the start?”

千寿郎「いいえ… そんなはずはないです。“歴代炎柱の書”は、大切に保管されているものですから。恐らく父が破いたのだと思います… 申し訳ありません」

Senjuro “Iie… Sonna hazuwa nai-desu. ‘Rekidai En-Bashirano Sho’wa, taisetsuni Hokan-sarete-iru mono desu-kara. Osoraku chichiga yabuitano-dato omoi-masu… Moshi-wake ari-masen.”

Senjuro “No. That’s not possible. After all, the Flame Hashira Chronicles are stored very carefully. I believe it was my father who tore those pages. I’m so sorry.”

炭治郎「いいえ！千寿郎さんのせいではないです。どうか気になさらず」

Tanjiro “Iie! Senjuro-sanno sei-dewa nai-desu. Doka kini nasarazu.”

Tanjiro “No. It’s not your fault, Senjuro. Please don’t feel bad about it.”

千寿郎「わざわざ足を運んでいただいたのに、“ヒノカミ神楽”や、父の言っていた“日の呼吸”について、結局何も…」

Senjuro “Waza-waza ashi’o hakonde itadaita-noni, ‘Hinokami-Kagura’ya, chichino itte-ita ‘Hino Kokyu’ni tsuite, kekkyoku nanimo…”

Senjuro “But you came all this way for it only to end up learning nothing about Hinokami Kagura or what my father called ‘Sun Breathing.’”

炭治郎「大丈夫です。自分がやるべきことはわかっていますので。もっと鍛錬します。舞の手順を知っている“ヒノカミ神楽”ですら、俺は使いこなせていないんです」

Tanjiro “Daijobu desu. Jibunga yaru-beki kotowa wakatte-imasu-node. Motto tanren shimasu. Maino tejun’o shitte-iru ‘Hinokami-Kagura’de-sura, orewa tsukai-konasete-inain-desu.

Tanjiro “It’s all right. I know what it is that I must do. I’m going to train harder. Even when it comes to Hinokami Kagura… though I know how to perform the dance… I still haven’t managed to master it.”

千寿郎「そうなのですか…」

Senjuro “So-nano-desuka…”

Senjuro “Is that right?”

炭治郎「全集中の状態で“ヒノカミ神楽”を使うと、体が思ったように動かなくなります。俺の問題です。技に体が追いついてない。全集中の常中で体力は向上しましたが、それでも足りない… 常中できれば、日一日と体力が上昇してゆくはずとのことだったけど、一瞬で強くはなれないんです」

Tanjiro “Zen-Shuchuno jotaide ‘Hinokami-Kagura’o tsukauto, karadaga omotta-yoni ugoka-naku nari-masu. Oreno mondai desu. Wazani karadaga oitsuite-nai. Zen-Shuchuno Jochude tairyokuwa kojo shimashitaga, sore-demo tari-nai… Jochu dekireba, hi-ichi-nichito tairyokuga josho-shite-yuku-hazu-tono koto datta-kedo, isshunde tsuyokuwa nare-nain-desu.”

Tanjiro “When I use Hinokami Kagura while maintaining Total Concentration, I can’t move my body the way I want to. I’m to blame for that. I can’t physically keep up with it. My stamina’s improved thanks to Total Concentration, Constant, but it’s still not enough. I’m supposed to gain stamina by the day if I can maintain Constant, but I can’t get stronger in an instant.”

炭治郎「…あの時、俺がもっと強かったら… 一瞬で煉獄さんを助けられるくらい強くなれる方法があったら… ずっと考えていました。だけどそんな都合のいい方法はない。近道なんてなかった。足掻(あが)くしかない。今の自分ができる精一杯で前に進む。どんなに苦しくても、悔しくても。そして俺は、杏寿郎さんのような強い柱に、必ずなります」

Tanjiro “…Ano toki, orega motto tsuyo-kattara… Isshunde Rengoku-san’o tasuke-rareru-kurai tsuyoku nareru hohoga attara… Zutto kangaete imashita. Dakedo sonna tsugono ii hohowa nai. Chika-michi nante nakatta. Agaku-shika nai. Imano jibunga dekiru sei-ippaide maeni susumu. Donnani kurushiku-temo, kuyashiku-temo. Soshite orewa, Kyojuro-sanno-yona tsuyoi Hashirani, kanarazu nari-masu.”

Tanjiro “That day, if only I’d been more powerful… In an instant… If only there’d been a way for me to become strong enough to save Rengoku… I’ve tried to come up with one. But there’s no such convenient method. There just weren’t any shortcuts. All I can do is struggle. To move forward by pulling out all the stops to do whatever it is that I can. No matter how grueling or frustrating it may be. And then, I… am going to become a powerful Hashira like Kyojuro! No matter what!”

千寿郎「兄には“継子”がいませんでした。本来なら私が継子となり、柱の控えとして実績を積まなければならなかった。でも、私の日輪刀は色が変わりませんでした。ある程度の剣術を身につけないと、日輪刀の色は変わらないものですが――どれだけ稽古をつけてもらっても、私は駄目だった」

Senjuro “Ani-niwa ‘tsuguko’ga imasen-deshita. Honrai-nara watashiga tsuguko-to nari, Hashirano hikae-to-shite jisseki’o tsuma-nakereba nara-nakatta. Demo, watashino Nichirin-Towa iroga kawari-masen-deshita. Aru-teidono kenjutsu’o mini tsuke-naito, Nichirin-Tono irowa kawara-nai mono desuga――Doredake keiko’o tsukete-morattemo, watashiwa dame datta.”

Senjuro “My brother didn’t have a Tsuguko. Normally, I would’ve become his Tsuguko… and would’ve had to train as a Hashira reserve. But… my Nichirin Sword failed to change color. Nichirin Sword don’t change color until you’ve acquired a certain level of sword skills… but no matter how much training I underwent, it was no good.”

千寿郎「剣士になるのは諦めます。それ以外の形で、人の役に立てることをします。炎柱の継承は絶たれ、長い歴史に傷がつきますが、兄はきっと許してくれる」

Senjuro “Kenshini naru-nowa akirame-masu. Sore-igaino katachide, hitono yakuni tateru koto’o shimasu. En-Bashirano keishowa tatare, nagai rekishini kizuga tsuki-masuga, aniwa kitto yurushite-kureru.”

Senjuro “I’m going to forget about becoming a swordsman… and be useful to others in some other way. This will break the line of the Flame Hashira and inflict damage on its long history… but I’m sure that my brother… will forgive me.”

炭治郎「正しいと思う道を進んでください。千寿郎さんを悪く言う人がいたら、俺が頭突きします」

Tanjiro “Tadashiito omou michi’o susunde kudasai. Senjuro-san’o waruku iu hitoga itara, orega zutsuki shimasu.”

Tanjiro “Walk down the path that you feel is right. If anyone dares to badmouth you, Senjuro, I’ll personally headbutt them!”

千寿郎「それはやめた方がいいです」

Senjuro “Sorewa yameta-hoga ii-desu.”

Senjuro “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

千寿郎「“歴代炎柱の書”は、私が修復します。他の書も調べてみます。父にも聞いてみて、何かわかったら鴉を飛ばします。お話ができて良かった。気をつけてお帰り下さい」

Senjuro “‘Rekidai En-Bashirano Sho’wa, watashiga shufuku shimasu. Hokano shomo shirabete-mimasu. Chichi-nimo kiite-mite, nanika wakattara karasu’o tobashi-masu. Ohanashiga dekite yokatta. Ki’o tsukete okaeri kudasai.”

Senjuro “I’ll restore the Flame Hashira Chronicles myself. I’ll look into other books, as well. I’ll also ask my father, and if I find out anything, I’ll send word through our crow. I’m glad that I got to talk to you. Please get home safely.”

炭治郎「いいえ、こちらこそありがとうございました」

Tanjiro “Iie, kochira-koso arigato gozai-mashita.”

Tanjiro “No, I’m the one who should be thanking you.”

千寿郎「そうだ、炭治郎さん。これを受け取ってください」

Senjuro “Soda, Tanjiro-san. Kore’o uketotte kudasai.”

Senjuro “Wait, Tanjiro. Please take this.”

炭治郎「おお……」

Tanjiro “Oo……”

千寿郎「兄の日輪刀の鍔(つば)です」

Senjuro “Anino Nichirin-Tono tsuba desu.”

Senjuro “It’s my brother’s Nichirin Sword guard.”

炭治郎「い…いただけません、こんな大切なもの…… 俺は…」

Tanjiro “I…Itadake-masen, konna taisetsuna mono…… Orewa…”

Tanjiro “I-I can’t accept something as valuable as this! I…”

千寿郎「持っていて欲しいんです。きっとあなたを守ってくれます」

Senjuro “Motte-ite-hoshiin-desu. Kitto anata’o mamotte kure-masu.”

Senjuro “I want you to take it with you. I’m sure it will protect you.”

炭治郎「…ありがとう……」

Tanjiro “…Arigato……”

Tanjiro “Thanks.”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

千寿郎「失礼します。お戻りでしたか… あの… 先程の」

Senjuro “Shitsurei shimasu. Omodori deshitaka… Ano… Saki-hodono.”

Senjuro “Excuse me. Are you back? Um, our visitor―”

槇寿郎「うるさい!! どうでもいい、出て行け!!」

Shinjuro “Urusai!! Do-demo ii, Dete-ike!!”

Shinjuro “Shut up! I don’t give a damn! Get out of here!”

千寿郎「え… でも、兄上の」

Senjuro “E… Demo, aniueno.”

Senjuro “B-But my brother’s message to you―”

槇寿郎「くだらん!! どうせ俺への恨みごとだろう！わかりきってる!! さっさと出て行け！」

Shinjuro “Kudaran!! Dose ore’eno urami-goto daro! Wakari-kitteru!! Sassatto dete-ike!”

Shinjuro “Worthless! It’s probably just his gripes toward me. I already know what he’d say! Now get out of my sight!”

Tengen “Kyowa kokode Taisho Koso-koso Uwasa-banashi. Oreno jiko-shokai’o kikasete-yaro. Orewa shinobino kakeini umareta. Dakara osanai korowa shinobi-to-shite kageni kakure jimini ikite-kitanda.”

Tengen “Now it’s time for today’s Taisho-era secret! Let me introduce myself. I was born into a shinobi clan. So when I was a kid, I led an unflashy life in the shadows as a shinobi.”

炭治郎「え～？」

Tanjiro “Eee?”

Tanjiro “Really?”

善逸「嘘だぁ」

Zen’itsu “Uso-daa.”

Zenitsu “No way!”

伊之助「嘘は良くねえぞ」

Inosuke “Usowa yoku-neezo.”

Inosuke “You shouldn’t lie.”

天元「嘘じゃねえ！そんときの不満が爆発して、今はこう派手になったわけだが、まっ、もともとその素質があったってことかもなぁ。お前らも任務では派手な活躍を見せんだぞ！」

Tengen “Usoja nee! Son-tokino fumanga bakuhatsu-shite, imawa ko hadeni natta-wake-daga, ma, moto-moto sono soshitsuga attatte koto-kamonaa. Omaeramo ninmu-dewa hadena katsuyaku’o misendazo!”

Tengen “It’s not a lie! All my pent-up resentment from those days exploded, turning me into the flashy guy I am today. But that may be because I always had it in me. I want you three to show me some flashy moves during this mission, okay?”

炭治郎「この人からは責任感の強い匂いがする。信頼できる人だ」

Tanjiro “Kono hito-karawa sekinin-kanno tsuyoi nioiga suru. Shinrai dekiru hitoda.”

Tanjiro “I’m picking up the scent of a strong sense of responsibility from this man. We can trust him.”

天元「何ニヤニヤしてんだ？お前。次回、第二話『遊郭潜入』。お前ら！ちゃんと仕事すんだぞ！」

Tengen “Nani niya-niya shitenda? Omae. Jikai, dai-niwa ‘Yukaku Sennyu.’ Omaera! Chanto shigoto sundazo!”

Tengen “What’s with that smirk on your face? Next, Episode 2, ‘Infiltrating the Entertainment District.’ Do your jobs, you three!”

炭治郎たち「おー！」

Tanjiro-tachi “Ooo!”

Tanjiro and others “Right!”

禰豆子「ムー！」

Nezuko “Muuu!”
