"Zenitsu finally had enough and lost consciousness"

-3rd Person POV-
The Brother Demon said, "Huh?" He thought. "Who is this guy? Isn't he a Demon Slayer who came here to kill our family? Did he just faint? I can't believe how spineless he is." As the Spider minions get to the top, Zenitsu begins to fall to the ground. The Brother Demon thought, "He's going to fall onto his head and die. What the hell?" As Zenitsu falls, his sleeping body begins to spring into action. He breathes out gradually as he puts his hand onto his blade's handle. He says,

Thunder Breathing, First Form.

His body flips and uses the tree to bounce off. He lunges at the Brother Demon ready to attack. The Demon notices what he is doing and spits acid on Zenitsu while using,

Poison Sputum!

Zenitsu twists his body to the right, safely dodging the attack. He lands on the ground while the Brother Demon thought, "Did he just twist his body in midair to dodge that? Such quick reflexes! It's like he's a different person!" Zenitsu uses the same stance as he did against the Tongue demon. He uses,

Thunder Breathing, First Form.

The Demon screamed, "Hey, you guys, pounce on him!" Zenitsu jumps and dodges the small spider minions while getting in the same stance, using,

Thunder Breathing, First Form.

The Spider demon spits acid toward Zenitsu as he jumps out of the way. Zenitsu slides to a stop while the Demon thought to himself, "He's been assuming the same stance over and over." He chuckled while finishing, "Obviously, this guy... must only know one technique!"

-Zenitsu's memory-
"That's all right, Zenitsu. That's good enough for you. Mastering even one technique is cause for celebration!" He kneels and pats his head while saying, "If you can only do a single thing, hone it to perfection. Polish it to the utmost limit!"

-With the battle (Zenitsu's POV)-
I thought, "Hey, but, Jii-san... Just a little while ago, you were furious. Because Thunder Breathing has six forms, and all I can manage to do is one."

-Zenitsu's Memory-
Jii-san hit my head while saying, "Do you know how to force a sword?" I thought, "I have no idea. Will you keep hitting me? I think I'll cry." Jii-san said, "The thing about swords, you have to strike and strike to get rid of impurities and anything you don't need. By refining the purity of the steel, a strong sword is forged." I said in my mind, "So, that's why you keep clobbering me day in, day out?"

-With the battle-
"But I'm not made of steel, am I? I'm living flesh, you know?" Zenitsu thought. The Spider Demon chuckled as he thought, "You're not much of a threat, are you? Do you call yourself a Demon Slayer? Any minute now, you'll be rendered immobile by that poison."

-Zenitsu's mind-
"Zenitsu, perfect it! It's all right to cry! It's all right to run away! Just don't ever give up! Just believe. You endured all that hellish training! You'll be rewarded for that without fail! Hone it to the utmost limit!" Jii-san said.

-With the battle-
A/N: The Italic Bolding are the words said by Jigoro, in Zenitsu's mind during the battle.
The air around Zenitsu begins to spark and crackle. Zenitsu opened his eyes to reveal no pupils.
"Become the most durable blade of all!"
The Spider Demon spat out more acid toward Zenitsu.
"You must master a single thing!"
Zenitsu hopped out of the way before getting hit. While midair, more spider minions jumped toward Zenitsu.
