Script for my animation entitled

SAVING SISTER FROM A DEMON SLAYER

Scene 1: Tanjiro’s mom and his four other siblings were brutely murdered by a demon. Giyu, a hashira (a senior) and an upper classman of Tanjiro, was sent by the head of Demon Slayer Core to kill demons. Tanjiro’s sister, Nezuko, became a demon after she was injected demon’s blood. Nezuko became aggressive and pushed her brother Tanjiro onto the ground. While Tanjiro was shocked to see his demonized sister’s behavior, Giyu believed Nezuko was the demon who murdered her own mom and her siblings. So, Giyu wanted to kill Nezuko by grabbing her. Tanjiro has a unique smelling ability to distinguish human’s vs. demon’s blood. His unique sense told him that Nezuko is definitely not the demon who killed his family. So, he was fighting with Giyu to protect his sister from being hurt.)

Giyu (said to Tanjiro): Why did you protect her?

Tanjiro:

She's my younger sister, Giyu!! My younger sister!!

Giyu:

Is this monster really your sister?

Tanjiro:

She is not a monster, Giyu. She really is my sister Nezuko!

Scene 2: Tanjiro was trying to save Nezuko from Giyu by pulling her away from him.

Giyu:

Don't move, Tanjiro. My job is slaying vile demons. You sister is a demon right now.

Of course, I have to to chop off your sister's head.

Tanjiro:

Hold on, Giyu! Nezuko would never kill anyone! My house has a weird demon smell that I have never smelled before. It must be the demon named Muzan who killed my family. I think that must be the case! It definitely wasn't Nezuko! Although I don't know why she become like this, but...

Giyu:

The reason is simple. When the demon's blood touches her wound, she'll become a demon. That's how man-eating demons grow their numbers.

Tanjiro:

Nezuko won't eat people! She just won’t eat people!

Giyu: I can't believe you said that. Weren't you almost eaten by her?

Tanjiro: No! Nezuko definitely recognized me. I won't let anyone hurt her. Nezuko will come back as a human again. I'll definitely cure her!

Giyu:

Forget about her! She's hopeless! After she becomes a demon, there is no way she will come back as a human again.

Tanjiro:

I'll find that out! I'll definitely find a way! Don't kill her, please! I'll find the demon who killed my family. I'll do all of the above! Please... please... Don't…. don’t…. kill her! She is my only family member left. Please let her go! Please don't kill Nezuko. I'm begging you. Please……

Giyu:

Don't let another person take control of your right to live or die! Don't beg others pitifully! If doing so works, your family wouldn't have been murdered. When that right is being taken away, You are the weak because you couldn’t protect your family from the demon.

The weak who can't take control wants to cure his sister? and to find the culprit? What a joke! The weak doesn't have rights to choices. Even if you go all out, you'll fall into the hands of the strong. There are demons who may know the method to cure your sister. But don't dream that they will respect your will and request. Of course, I won't respect you, either. This is the reality. Why did you let her push you to the ground just now? Were you trying to protect your sister? Why didn't you swing your ax at her? Why did you turn your back against me? I’m taking your sister because of your failure. I should have pierced your sister. Don't cry. Don't despair. You shouldn't be doing those things now. I know you can't take the blow again. Your family was murdered. Your sister become a man-eating demon. Are you hurt? Do you want to scream your heart out? I understand. If I arrived here half a day earlier, maybe your family wouldn't have to die. But I can't turn back the time. Unleash your fury. The powerful and pure rage of unforgiveness will become an unwavering force driving your limbs. A fragile will won't be able to protect and cure your sister or avenge your family.

Tanjiro:

Stop... Stop it!

Scene 3: Giyu was trying to test Tanjiro’s will to protect his sister by stabbing her. Tanjiro got mad and threw a rock at Giyu. Tanjiro tried to distract Giyu by running behind a tree while throwing his ax at Giyu. Unarmed, Tanjiro was running toward Giyu, and was knocked out by Giyu. They started the fight!)

Giyu:

A simple attack driven by emotions. How dumb!

Here is Giyu’s thought process:

(Giyu was thinking: Huh…. what the heck…. Where's Tanjiro’s ax? Before running into the woods, not only did Tanjiro throw a rock, but he also threw his ax at me. To avoid being discovered he was unarmed, he slanted his body so that I couldn't see his hands. He knew he couldn't beat me. He wanted to knock me down when I slashed at him. This guy...)

Scene 4: Giyu knocked Tanjiro unconscious with the hilt of his sword. Right at this moment, Nezuko broke free from Giyu and ran toward her brother. Giyu thought Tanjiro could be in danger of being eaten alive by his sister!)

Giyu:

Damn it! Tanjiro'll be eaten!

Here is Tanjiro’s thought process:

(Tanjiro was thinking: Nezuko WOULD NEVER eat people! She won’t hurt me. She is different!)

Scene 5: Giyu saw Nezuko did not hurt Tanjiro at all, she was instead protecting her brother. To make sure that Nezuko would not hurt anyone, Giyu knock out Nezuko and put a bamboo muzzle on her.

Here is Giyu’s thought process:

(Giyu was thinking: I do recall there was a similar situation in the past: A man who believed he would be safe when he was in danger of being eaten by a demon. However, the demon DID eat him in the end. In the state of hunger, demons will even eat their family members because they have high nutrition values. Who knows how many times have I seen this scene? This girl (Nezuko) is wounded. She's using energy to heal herself. When she became a demon, she must have consumed a lot of energy. Without a doubt, she's in a state of severe hunger. She can't wait to eat human flesh right now… However, Nezuko’s protective action toward her brother and her intimidation towards me, all indicate that this pair of siblings may be different after all.)

Scene 6: Tanjiro’s mom and his sibling appear as ghosts.

(Tanjiro’s mom’s spirit apologies to her son:

I'm so sorry for leaving you behind, Tanjiro! I'm leaving Nezuko in your hands.)

Giyu:

Are you awake, Tanjiro? Go to the foot of Sagiri Mountain. Find an old man called Sakonji Urokodaki, who is my mentor. Tell him that Giyu Tomioka send you. Remember that demons do not like sun.

There's no sunlight right now, Nezuko should be fine. But don't bring her out in the sun!

Scene 7: Tanjiro and his sister are praying for the death of their family members.

Tanjiro (said to his sister):

Let's go!

Nezuko respond:

Em… em… em… (she was muzzled)

Scene 8: Tanjiro and his sister rush to the Sagiri Mountain.
