A scene shows a settlement in minor flames and some blood splattered on the walls. A lifeless person is seen laying on the ground and lantern broken and burning on the snow covered ground. Also, a demon is seen devouring a dead person on the neck. His feast was interrupted when he spotted a person with a mask and with a sword on his side. The masked person remained on his spot. The demon sprang on his feet and began attacking his new-found prey, hoping he would eat him next. However, the masked person blocked the demon's attacks with slight ease.
Having no chance, the demon retreated somewhere and hide from the attacker. Blood trickled down his bloody face from his earlier feast on the dead human. He breathed heavily when the masked person approached the demon slowly. The demon made a tactical retreat once again, hoping to escape from this masked person. He stopped to look behind him to see him not following the demon anymore.
Little did the demon know, the masked person stood on top of a roof, overlooking down on the demon. He sprang upwards. The demon heard it and turned around to be met with a slice to the neck from the masked person's sword.
Back to reality, in the demon's eyes, Tanjiro's image was replaced with a masked person that he encountered from before. This masked person is the younger version of Urokodaki.
"Urokodaki!" The demon exclaimed before he got his neck sliced off by Tanjiro. The head flew in multiple directions and landed near the tree.
"You did it!" Wind cheered from the side from witnessing Tanjiro's impressive and successful attack.
"Hmph. Way to go, Tanjiro." Lightning smirked.
"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" The demon cursed as he watched the remains of his body being reduced into nothing but ashes slowly. Tanjiro sheathed his sword while watching the body disintegrating.
"..." Earth stayed silent as he spectated the monster's head.
"Dammit! To think the faces of the Demon Hunters will be the last that I'll ever see..."
When Tanjiro turned to look at the demon, his face isn't filled with malice nor with satisfaction. It's filled with sadness.
"How did it come to this?"
"I'm so scared. I'm so alone." In his mind-set, his human form cried into a void of darkness surrounding him.
"Brother, where are you? I want you to hold my hand. Like you always do!"
Tanjiro slowly walked over to the demon's decaying body. The only body that hasn't reduce to ashes yet is the hand.
"Why on earth did I bite you to death, big brother?"
"Huh?" His human face was no longer there and instead, it was replaced with a demon's version of it.
"Wait, who's this 'Brother' person?"
Tanjiro got up in front of the demon's hand. A somber expression presented on his face.
"You're doing what I think you're doing, huh?" Earth whispered to Tanjiro.
"What a sad scent." He did what Earth and the others didn't expect and hold onto the demon's hand with both hands. The hand's fingers then tightened. The demon teared up after seeing the act. The demon's head already faded.
"Tanjiro..." Earth said in a low whisper. His split forms only watched in silence.
"God, please..." Tanjiro started praying while bringing the hand to his forehead. The demon, in the void of darkness, stood up when he saw a light in a distance.
"The next time this man is reborn. Please make sure he doesn't turn into a demon."
The demon ran into the light which turned out to be his brother holding a lantern and walking. "Brother! Brother! Hold my hand, will you?"
The brother did what the younger brother had wanted and held his hand. "You're hopeless, you know? Still such a scaredy-cat."
The hand Tanjiro is holding is now gone. Although, his face still showed sadness, it is later replaced with determination.
"Sabito, Makomo..." His voice is lower than a whisper. He looked forward to see all the dead children, Urokodaki's disciples including Sabito and Makomo, present. "...and everyone else who were killed... I won."
He received a pat on the shoulder. He looked over to see Earth patting him for a job well done.
Tanjiro smiled. "You can rest easy now. I guess you're going home as promised. Even though you're just souls, you're going back to Mt. Sagiri..."
The children disappeared one by one. Makomo was the last to disappear after she smiled sincerely directly to the boys.
"...and to Mr. Urokodaki whom you love very much. I'd ended up dead, my soul would've returned there, too."
He finished as he looked up to the starry night and the crescent moon. Mindless thoughts ran through his head. Sabito and Makomo can now rest in peace after what he had done to the demon. They don't deserve such a fateful demise like that. But he hoped in his heart, they found peace on the other side.
"Are you okay, Tanjiro?" BoBoiBoy, who merged back into his original form, asked him with concern. Tanjiro told him he's okay. Although, one question lingered in his mind.
"Now is it the time to tell me how you... clone yourself?" He got curious after seeing BoBoiBoy's multiple versions of himself. If it's a sort of breathing technique, Tanjiro would want to have that as well. It would be a great asset if he's ever in a dire situation.
"It's called Elemental Breathing. I created this breathing by myself. I don't think it can be learned though." BoBoiBoy told him the half truth. Surely he discovered this breathing by accident but he didn't actually made one. It was a technical mistake he did.
"I figured as much." Tanjiro sighed.
After the wholesome event with the morphed demon, Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy went their opposite ways and try to survive the Final Selection for seven days. One could say it was a terrible plan for the thought of having to split up in the woods filled with demons but they thought it was efficient to cover more ground just like the plan they made up an hour ago.
BoBoiBoy is sprinting away from the demon who is coming after him with bloodlust in his eyes. Thanks to his acrobatic movements, BoBoiBoy managed to get on top of the tree branch and jumped high enough to deliver a decisive blow directly to the demon's chest area. The demon walloped in pain as the blade bursted in his chest.
"There's something I wanna ask you." BoBoiBoy said, still locking the blade into the demon's chest.
"How do I turn someone who's become a demon back into a human?" He felt stupid for asking this question as the demon didn't answer his question and instead spat at him. BoBoiBoy sighed and decided to end his misery by cutting off the demon's head.
"No matter what I say to them, it won't get to them! They're really persistent on wanting to eat me." BoBoiBoy hears footsteps approaching and found two new demons with an intent to kill BoBoiBoy.
"You there!" He pointed his blade at them. "Is there any chance that any of you would tell me how to turn someone who had become a demon back into a human?"
Again, he received snarls from them and jumped at him. BoBoiBoy clicked his tongue and slashed their heads off neatly.
"Again... Nothing." He sprinted off to another location and finding a place where he can rest. "I hope Tanjiro got what he need from the demons. Although I highly doubt it considering they speak nothing but wanting meat in their mouths."
He heard a high pitched scream and made him stop to hear where it came from. Not far from his location, he saw a girl running away from a demon that is chasing after her.
"No! Stay away from me!" She pleaded as she dropped her sword and continued to run away from the demon. BoBoiBoy couldn't let this slide. Someone is in danger.
"Lightning Breathing, Sixth Form, Bolt Zap!"
The girl was about to get slashed by the demon's claws. She braced for the impact but later, nothing came. What she heard next is the sound of lightning zooming past her and the next thing she see is a demon's head laid out in front of her. She recoiled back in horror. She never felt terrified her whole life. She wondered why she entered Final Selection in the first place.
She was about to cry when she sees a hand extended to her. She looked up, tears in her eyes, and saw BoBoiBoy offering her a hand.
"Are you okay?" His voice was gentle. She took a moment to look at his hand before accepting it and helped her back up on her feet.
"Th-Thank you..." She thanked him in a low voice but it was enough for BoBoiBoy to hear it because of his enhanced hearing.
"You're welcome. All in a day's work for a hero to come to the rescue." He posed comedically and caused the girl to sweatdrop at his action. Silence wafted between them after the event earlier. He happened to be staring at her for quite a while. She has butterfly accessories on her hair and she has ocean blue eyes. Her haori is dyed in blue and her robe is coloured white.
"Uhhm..." He started out awkwardly. "My name's BoBoiBoy. What's yours?"
She fumbled between her words before she faced him completely.
"I'm... Aoi. Aoi Kanzaki." She introduced herself.
"Well Aoi, if you want, you can come with me so you won't have to be alone. It's pretty dangerous around here." He offered her his help. She didn't knew this would happened. Her plan was to wait out for this event to blow over. If she went with him, chances of her survival will rise. But then, she barely knew him and had trouble trusting anyone she meets.
"I appreciate your help after saving me but..." She trailed off. "I think I'm fine by myself."
He was unsure of this. She was clearly running away from a demon that was planning to kill her. What other chances will she have if she can't defend herself like that?
"Are you sure you're really okay? Something like that might happen to you again." BoBoiBoy worriedly said. It's his natural way of expressing care for others even though they're complete strangers.
Aoi nodded. "I'll be okay. Thanks again for saving me." She picked up her sword that she dropped and took off, leaving BoBoiBoy alone.
'This is a terrible decision.' He thought in his head. But surely, she has a plan to survive this event in seven days. 'Stay safe Aoi.'
He took off to another direction to get away further from the demon's territorial forest. His thoughts lingered back to the morphed demon, the demons earlier and Aoi. So many stuff transpired lately and that caused him a bit dizzy. He learned to get used to these sort of things by being here in this world. BoBoiBoy had already accepted the fact that fate brought him here to redeem himself. If there was something he ever done to deserve this, then he would gave this one a second chance if he must. In exchange for doing something good in his life, there is always misfortune that follows. He believed that to be the case.
His sprint came to a halt as he sensed something coming here. It sounded faint but its getting closer.
'What's that sound? I hear swords clashing.' He stood his guard and to his prediction, he found the source of the sound. He quickly jumped out of the way when he spotted a hurling figure coming his way.
He landed not too far from the mysterious person. 'Who's this guy?' He inspected his new opponent. The muscular body shape and form made this person identified as a male. He wore no type of top clothing and only his pants that were made by some type of leather were clearly displayed. The swords were strapped on his sides. The most noticable feature this guy has is a boar mask.
"You there! Fight me!" He pointed to BoBoiBoy and unsheathed his dual swords. BoBoiBoy blocked them using his sword and he got pushed back by this person's unbelievable strength.
"Who are you!?" BoBoiBoy demanded to know as to why this guy is suddenly attacking him. The guy only kept attacking BoBoiBoy with no signs of stopping. He only deflected his wild attacks with his sword. Each clash from the guy's sword had more force than he can block.
'What's with this guy!?' He grew irritated. BoBoiBoy continued to deflect most of his attacks.
"C'mon! Attack me! Throw everything you have at me!" He threw the swords at BoBoiBoy. He shifted his body and managed to avoid the swords but got headbutted in the stomach by the guy in a boar mask. He was sent flying and fell on the ground.
"Dammit..." He grabbed his stomach in pain and stood up slowly.
"Is that all you got!?" The guy grew impatient. BoBoiBoy had enough and snapped at his unexpected new opponent.
"Right! Who are you!? And why are you attacking me!?"
He didn't listen, unfortunately, and threw more punches at him. He realized he didn't have his swords with him and was fighting BoBoiBoy barehanded.
"Listen to me!" He sheathed his sword and fought on a one to one battle barehanded. He knew a thing or two about close quarters combat so he fared pretty much with this guy. Even though he lacks combat experience, BoBoiBoy scored hits on the guy albeit he can't keep up with him.
"I don't want to hurt you! I just want to talk!" BoBoiBoy protested and tried to reason with him
He laughed. "Hahahahaha! Now that's what I'm talking about! I wanted this to happen! A fair fight!"
BoBoiBoy grew confused. "What are you—"
Before he can finish, demons showed up in the same place they are.
'Great. More enemies. Can't this night get any worse?' He was about to fight the demons but the boar guy quickly picked a fight with them. BoBoiBoy really wanted to help but seeing as how the guy in the boar mask handled him barehanded, he thought it was okay for him to handle them by himself. He used this opportunity and escaped the battlefield, letting the guy fend for himself against the demons.
'Now I look like such a coward. I wish I could've helped him back there. But then again, he would try to fight me again.' His head was debating of the choice he had made. Not for long, he heard a sound which sounded like thunder. He gasped as a yellow flash zoomed past his vision.
"Was that a... yellow blur?" His mind is racing with these new things coming to him. He thought it was best to leave these thoughts away and kept running to the direction he has suppose to be heading.
Soon enough, he ran out of breath to run any further. He exhausted all his stamina after he dealt with the mysterious boar guy. He kneel down on the ground.
'I'm so tired... I need a break.'
Before he can move, he moved his head around him and noticed that he is under the Wisteria flowers blooming even at night.
"Wisteria...?" BoBoiBoy felt relieved and slumped down on the ground.
"I made it..." He added. "I hope your safe as well, Tanjiro."
7 days have passed. The Final Selection almost came to a close. Only 5 slayers presented.
"Only four of us? But there were at least twenty." Tanjiro wondered how the huge number count had been reduced to roughly five of them.
BoBoiBoy looked around for any signs of the guy in a boar mask anywhere. So far, he found no one in particular. "He probably... No... I shouldn't think of that. It's my fault for leaving him alone." He gritted his teeth in frustration.
He didn't see Aoi anywhere around either. If anything, she could've gotten into trouble with some demons and she couldn't defend herself from it. How idiotic he was from not being able to convince her to come with him.
'It's alright. She'd probably survive somewhere and didn't make it here. That's gotta be it... right?'
"I don't see that guy anywhere. It's all because I blacked out at that moment."
Tanjiro looked down in shame. "I couldn't save him."
BoBoiBoy watched as Tanjiro takes the blame for himself for not saving the guy. A whimper caught their attention.
"I'm gonna die. I'm a goner. Even if I survive now, I'm gonna die in the end anyway." A boy with yellow-orange hair said with a tone filled with fear. BoBoiBoy recognized him from the beginning of when they arrived in Final Selection.
"Hey, excuse me?" BoBoiBoy called out to him but he didn't face to him. "Are you alright?"
"No, I'm not. I'm gonna die because I survived Final Selection." He shivered.
"At least you're still here and alive right?" That sentence is enough to have his head twirled towards his. "Don't feel afraid just because of that. It's all in the past now."
It almost calmed him down but the shakiness in his eyes are still there. He faced down on the ground and didn't spout anything anymore.
BoBoiBoy figured he successfully calmed the boy down. "I'm BoBoiBoy. And you are?"
"Uhh... Zenitsu Agatsuma." He shakily introduced himself before looking back down to the ground.
When he look to his left, he saw the girl from seven days ago. He stared at her in disbelief as to how she managed to survive in the demon filled forest unscathed and no scratches or bruises.
She happened to make eye contact at him but didn't say anything. She continued to stare at him with a smile before her eyes wandered elsewhere.
'She's... weird.'
"Welcome back." The two twins on the front said simultaneously.
"Congratulations." Hinaki said.
"We're pleased to see that you're safe." Nichika said.
"So? What am I suppose to do now? Where's my sword?" The guy with scars on his face said impatiently.
'I have a bad feeling about that guy. His tone didn't betray his face.' BoBoiBoy stared at the boy with messy hair.
"First, we shall issue you all uniforms. We will take your measurements, after which your rank will be engraved." Hinaki told them.
"Ranks?" BoBoiBoy mumbled.
"There are ten ranks in all..."
"Kinoe."
"Kinoto."
"Hinoe."
"Hinoto."
"Tsuchinoe."
"Tsuchinoto."
"Kanoe."
"Kanoto."
"Mizunoe."
"...and Mizunoto."
"Currently, you are at the lowest rank, Mizunoto."
'And I thought my rank is the lowest of the low...' BoBoiBoy comically cried as he remembered his rank as a TAPOPS member. He still wondered to this as to how Yaya and Ying are Lieutenants already.
"And our swords?" The scar faced boy said growing more impatient.
"Today, we will let you choose the ore for your swords." Hinaki mentioned. "However, the swords will take ten to fifteen days to complete."
"Are you kidding me?" He sighed and muttered in disappointment.
"But first..." Hinaki clapped her hands twice and the sounds of crows can be heard upwards. Each crow landed on top of the slayers' shoulder.
"We will assign each of you your own Kasugai Crow." Hinaki said.
"Kasugai Crow?" Tanjiro muttered as he looked at his crow.
"These Kasugai Crows can be used primarily for communication." Nichika informed them.
"Did you say 'crow'?" Zenitsu asked in disbelief. "Isn't this a sparrow, though?"
"You're not alone, dude." BoBoiBoy sweatdropped as he has his own 'crow'. Although, this one is also a sparrow like Zenitsu's as well. "I admit. He looks cute."
BoBoiBoy and Zenitsu got startled by the sound of the scar faced guy. "Don't give me that crap!"
He swatted his crow away and looked at them with an angry expression. He walked past Tanjiro and exclaimed.
"Who the hell cares about some stupid crow?" He walked forward and stopped in front of Hinaki. He gripped her hair and brought it up to meet his face.
"I want a sword, you hear?" He said this to her with intimidation. "Gimme one right one! The Demon Slayers' sword! The Color Changing Sword!"
Having enough of this, Tanjiro gripped onto his arm that was gripping Hinaki's hair.
"Take your hand off her! Or else, I'll break your arm!" Tanjiro warned him.
"You go Tanjiro." BoBoiBoy cheered silently.
"Huh? Who the hell are you?" He asked to Tanjiro.
Zenitsu gasped in surprise to what is happening right now. "Wh-Wh-Wh-What should I do?" He panicked.
BoBoiBoy reassured him. "Don't worry. He got this."
Zenitsu calmed down a bit and trusted his judgment and watch what will happen next.
"Let's see you try it!" He dared Tanjiro to do it. Tanjiro breathed and is slowly crushing his arm. he cried in pain from the grip. Zenitsu gasped and the girl watched the scene unfold in front of her.
"See? He got him good." BoBoiBoy said with a proud tone.
The scar faced boy backed away from having his arm almost crushed by Tanjiro. Tanjiro glared at him.
"Are you finished chatting?" Nichika breaks the silence between them.
Afterwards, Nichika pulled away a purple cloth that hides the ores needed for forging swords.
"Now then, please select an ore. The steel for the sword that will annihilate demons and protect you will be of your own choosing." Nichika offered them a choice to pick one ore.
"Well, not that I'm going to live very long. Probably." Zenitsu uttered with a long face.
"Zenitsu, don't say that. You can make it if you believe in yourself. Trust me." BoBoiBoy smiled at him and tried to encourage him. Zenitsu looked at him with a surprised face. He looked like he is about to cry but held it in.
All five them of them are standing in front of the table with ores placed on top.
'They're asking us to choose, but how are we supposed to pick one out? I've never seen an ore before, and I can't tell the difference anyway.'
"I absolutely have no clue." The scar faced boy muttered as he try to pick one for himself.
Tanjiro looked back once more at the ores. His nose caught a scent of one ore that stood out from the rest. He walked forward and picked up one.
"I choose this one." Tanjiro said as he grabbed his desired ore.
"What do you think, Tanjiro?" BoBoiBoy asked for his opinion.
"This is the one I want. I know it because I feel it." Tanjiro answered.
'Right. He can just detect the scent of the ore and chose it because it's unique or something.' BoBoiBoy thought.
"So... should I go first or you?" BoBoiBoy asked Zenitsu to his side.
He shook his head. "You go first."
BoBoiBoy nodded and walked forward. Like Tanjiro, he had never seen an ore before. Every one of them are the same as the rest. He glanced over to Tanjiro and he nodded his head for good luck.
Taking his time to decide, he activated his Heightened Sense. His vision, hearing, and touch increased twice. He inspected the ores with detailed observation. What caught his eye is the ore that looked larger than the rest. This ore is really tough to the touch but feels lighter for some reason. When he slightly squeezed the ore, he felt a mix of sensations, like a second it was warm and a second later it was cold.
"What's the holdup? Hurry up and choose one already!" The scar faced boy exclaimed.
Not wanting to keep them waiting any longer, BoBoiBoy made up his mind and chose this.
"I'll pick this one."
The scene changed with a Kasugai Crow explaining the details to the master of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"I see." He pet the crow's head with his index finger. "As many as five or six of them managed to survive, huh? Excellent. The number of my children has increased again. I wonder what kind of swordsmen they'll become.
It was already dusk as the two boys are trying to march their way back into Mt. Sagiri. Tanjiro used a supporting stick to traverse his way back to Mt. Sagiri. BoBoiBoy helpes him with his bag he was carrying. Both are in an exhausted state.
"Sorry, Nezuko." Tanjiro uttered. "I never got to ask them... how to turn a demon back into a human."
"No Tanjiro." BoBoiBoy heaved. "It's not... your fault... that they didn't answer..."
Tanjiro wanted to answer but he couldn't as he dropped on the ground.
"Tanjiro!" BoBoiBoy knelt beside Tanjiro and helped him up. He swung Tanjiro's arm around his shoulder for support.
"Here. I'll help you. Just... don't move too much..." Even though he is as tired as Tanjiro right now, he still has enough strength to carry Tanjiro.
"Thanks. I appreciate it..." Tanjiro expressed his gratitude with his smile. Together, they're taking it slow and walked at a slower pace than usual. The sun had already set and they made it back to Urokodaki's home.
"We... made it." BoBoiBoy released Tanjiro and have him stand up on his two feet.
"Nezuko... Mr. Urokodaki..." He desperately wanted to see them after the whole journey. The sound of the door being destroyed brought their attention on the person who busted it open. Nezuko walked out like nothing had happened.
"Hey! Nezuko!" Tanjiro dropped his supporting stick. "You... So, you're awake!?"
BoBoiBoy only stood there, eyes widen at seeing Nezuko awake and well after these two years.
Nezuko responded by running to them.
"Nezuko!" He wanted to reach her but he tripped and fell down. He tried to get but was tackled by a hug from Nezuko. BoBoiBoy stood beside them.
Tanjiro clutched onto Nezuko and cried. "Why... Why'd you fall asleep all of a sudden? Never waking up once! I was worried you were going to die, you know?!" He sniffed.
Urokodaki was picking up logs for making a fire when he spotted Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy, safe and sound. He dropped the logs and approached to them.
"Mr. Urokodaki, we—" BoBoiBoy didn't finish what he was going to say when Urokodaki hugged all of them.
"You two came back to us alive." He said as he was crying and tears poured out from the side of his mask. BoBoiBoy can tell when somebody is feeling right now by hearing their tones. A trait he got by training. He sounded so relieved and joyful to see them both come back alive.
"Mr. Urokodaki..." BoBoiBoy sniffed and cried as well. He haven't felt this kind of feeling in a long time. He can remember being hugged like this from Tok Aba. He melt from the hug and hugged Urokodaki back.
"I see. You killed that morphed demon." Urokodaki said while sitting across Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy.
"Yes." Tanjiro replied.
"Now the children can rest in peace thanks to Tanjiro." BoBoiBoy added.
"You also helped me back there so thanks BoBoiBoy." Tanjiro smiled.
"At last. I'm truly impressed that both of you made it back."
"Yes/Yeah." They said with different answers.
"There are several kinds of demons. Although, I told this to you BoBoiBoy so I'm going to explain it for Tanjiro again."
BoBoiBoy nodded.
"The demons who use a special spell called the Blood Demon Art possess supernatural abilities. You two may have to fight those demons, as well, from now on. And battling them will be far more difficult than anything you've known until now. Even so, Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy, I'm sure you two will be fine."
They were surprised by this. "Right."
"I think that Nezuko's not like the other demons. Do you think it could be that Whatchamacallit Art?" Tanjiro asked. BoBoiBoy giggled and corrected him that it's Blood Demon Art.
"No, I don't think so." Urokodaki opinionated. "I wouldn't call that an example of the Blood Demon Art. I'm just guessing here but it could be that Nezuko's recovering her strength by sleeping instead of consuming human flesh."
Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy looked at Nezuko sleeping again. They sat against the wall to keep an eye on her.
"Would you like at that? She's sleeping again." BoBoiBoy grinned. "That could be a habit of her."
"I wouldn't say that." Tanjiro nudged BoBoiBoy's arm playfully. Later, they had the time to make fun of each other, tell jokes, and play some made-up games, mostly from BoBoiBoy to Tanjiro and vice versa. It had been a long while since they have fun from these trying times. With Tanjiro's family now gone, Tanjiro had begin to view BoBoiBoy as a brother to him. Their friendship ascended into new heights ever since Tanjiro found him amidst in the snow. Tanjiro is very lucky to have someone like him in his life before his family except Nezuko were taken away from him.
Since BoBoiBoy never had any siblings to begin with, he treated Tanjiro as if he is his long lost brother. Something about him just made him want to be with him in their journey in this world. BoBoiBoy might not interact much with Nezuko but it's obvious that he has taken a liking to the demon Kamado sibling. It's a surreal feeling but it's a new chance to make new changes for himself and to adapt in this new world. He'd start a second life here if he wanted to.
"Nezuko, I'll protect you." Tanjiro gaze at Nezuko's sleeping figure.
"We." BoBoiBoy corrected him. "We'll protect Nezuko together."
Tanjiro smiled genuinely at BoBoiBoy and the latter responded in the same manner. They fell asleep afterwards.
15 DAYS LATER
Two men in straw hats with bells on the sides and goblin masks are seen walking and approaching the home of Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy, who are waiting for them.
The yellow floral patterned haori man stopped in front of Tanjiro and the man in a blue floral patterned haori man stopped in front of BoBoiBoy.
"Uh..." Tanjiro had no idea what to say to this man.
"My name is Haganezuka. I have forged Tanjiro Kamado's sword and I am here to deliver it." Haganezuka introduced himself.
"And I'm Kazuhiro Hisashi. I have forged BoBoiBoy's Nichirin Blade and was sent here to deliver it for him." Kazuhiro also introduced himself towards them.
The boys bowed down to show their respect.
"Um, I'm Tanjiro Kamado. Please come inside." Tanjiro gestured for them to come inside the house.
Haganezuka ignore his offer. "This is the Nichirin Sword and I forged it."
"Please, come in so we can serve you two some tea." BoBoiBoy tried to offer them their hospitality but they ignore it and went on explaining about how they forged the swords.
"The materials for a NIchirin Sword can be obtained from the mountain closest to the sun. Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Crimson Ore. These produce steel that can absorb sunlight."
"Wow, is that right?" Tanjiro said trying to sound interested.
"Mt Yoko is bathed in sunlight all day long, you see. Never a cloud in the sky, nor any rain."
"There they go again never listening to what the others say..." Urokodaki commented from the inside.
"You're going to get dirty. so could you get up for a second?" Tanjiro begged Haganezuka to come inside the house.
"Would you both like to come inside? We have tea." BoBoiBoy offered them again.
They exposed themselves to their faces and got up close to them.
"A clown mask?" They said as they saw their masks. Haganezuka has a red goblin mask while Kazuhiro has a blue goblin one.
"Hey, you're a Child of Brightness, aren't you? Now that's what I call lucky." Haganezuka asked particularly to Tanjiro.
"Oh no, I'm the son of Tanjuro and Kie." Tanjiro answered honestly.
"And you, are you a Child of Balance?" Kazuhiro asked to BoBoiBoy.
"Uhmm no?" BoBoiBoy said with a confused face and tone. "I'm the son of Amato."
"That's not what we meant." They said.
"See how your hair and eyes are a reddish color? When a kid like you is born into a family that works with fire, it's considered lucky and a cause for celebration." Haganezuka pointed at Tanjiro and inserted his index finger into his cheekbone.
"Is that right? I had no idea." Tanjiro said with a muffled voice due to Haganezuka's finger against his cheek.
"What about me?" BoBoiBoy asked.
"Have a look at yourself." Kazuhiro started. "Your hair had a white streak and the rest of your hair is black. That's a sign of the balance between light and darkness is trying to compete against each other to see who will complete the color."
"Okay...? What does this have to do with me being a Child of Balance then?" He suddenly got curious and wants to know more.
"People with those kinds of hair color are really rare. You don't find someone with this type of hair with a white streak on it. But as for you, you're different from the others. That makes you the Child of Balance between light and darkness."
He learned something new now that he knows about this fact. But was weirded out because Kazuhiro described BoBoiBoy as 'different from the others'.
"There's a good chance that this sword will turn red! Right Urokodaki?" Haganezuka said.
"Yeah." Urokodaki replied.
"For you, this might be a good chance if your sword gets the black and white color! The two colors that will clash to see which one will fill the sword's colour!" Kazuhiro almost jumped from excitement from the thought of it.
Soon after, Tanjiro and BoBoiBoy had their swords in hand.
"Come on, hurry up and draw it!" Haganezuka gestured for Tanjiro to draw out the sword by doing some weird hand movements.
"Nichirin Swords are also known as 'Color Changing Swords'." Kazuhiro explained. "They change color depending on the bearer.
Hearing this, they unsheathed their swords and brought their blades up. The color slowly fills in the colourless swords. Tanjiro's sword was black in colour and BoBoiBoy's sword was a complete white in colour.
"Black!"
"White!?"
"It's black and the other is a complete white, huh?"
"Is it bad or something if it turns black?" Tanjiro nervously said. "Is it unlucky?"
"Hey what about me? What about my sword? Is white a good or bad colour or what?" BoBoiBoy gaze at his sword.
"For both of your questions, no, not necessarily. But you don't see this pitch black and bright white too often."
Haganezuka and Kazuhiro both twitched until they exploded in anger.
"And I was so hoping I'd get to see a bright red sword! Dammit!" Haganezuka exclaimed as smoke puffed out his mask.
"Why did the sword turned completely bright white!? And here I thought there was gonna be a black colour on the bottom or top but I didn't expect to see this colour! Dammit!" Kazuhiro also exclaimed and smoke escaped his mask.
They both pounced on the boys and locked them in like they're wrestling them.
"Ouch! Stop! Please calm down! How old do you think you are?!" Tanjiro said while being strangled by Haganezuka.
"I'm thirty-seven." He said as he tighten his grip on Tanjiro.
"Mr. Hisashi! It hurts! Please stop it!" BoBoiBoy cried out.
"No can do! I wanted to see the black and white sword but you didn't let it happen!" Kazuhiro tightened his strangulation.
"It's not my fault!"
With all of this happening, Tanjiro's Kasugai Crow and BoBoiBoy's sparrow flew down and went inside the house.
"Tanjiro Kamado, BoBoiBoy! Here are your orders!" The Kasugai Crow spoke.
"It talks?" Tanjiro raised an eyebrow while repelling off Haganezuka's arm.
The sparrow flew on BoBoiBoy's shoulder and spoke to him using its bird language.
"Did you say 'Make your way to a town to the northwest'?" BoBoiBoy somehow was able to translate its language into English because of his hearing senses.
"Young girls have been vanishing there!" The Kasugai Crow said what it knows.
"Night after night, young girls have been vanishing! Hunt down the demon lurking there and kill it!" The Kasugai Crow said.
The sparrow still talked in its bird language and BoBoiBoy was able to understand what it's saying.
"Tanjiro Kamado, BoBoiBoy, prepare yourself well for this task! This is your first assignment as Demon Hunters!"
"Our first... assignment..." They both gave a tight grip on their swords at the mention of their assignment. This is finally their chance to prove their skills as official Demon Slayers. The task may sound hard for their first mission but with their wits and strength, they'll be able to help people. BoBoiBoy gave one long look at his Nichirin Blade and looked at Tanjiro with a determined face.
"Let's do this." He smirked.
Chapter 6 is done, finally. This took WAY longer than I thought it would but it's done now.
Hope you guys enjoyed reading this and I'll see you all in the next one.
See y'all later :).
