"Yoriichi Type Zero."
Tanjiro says, "It's arms... Why are there six?" The boy says, "It's arms? Well, according to my dad... The doll is modelled after an actual swordsman. They had to give it six arms, or they couldn't replicate his movements." Tanjiro asks another question, "So... This person... Who is he? And what exactly did he do?" The boy lightly shouts, "Sorry, I don't know the details either... But it dates back to the Sengoku Era." Tanjiro yells, "S- Sengoku? You mean... It's more than three hundred years old? How has it not broken after all this time?" The boy explains, "Its construction is so superb that we can't hope to achieve that level now. So if it breaks, we won't be able to fix it after that... My dad died suddenly. And I have no siblings. So I have to be the one to fix it. But I don't have the talent to fix blades and dolls..." Tanjiro says, "So that's why... I see. I see," Tanjiro looks at Muichiro and adds, "This person... Is amazing. He's really young and is really talented." A crow from behind caws out, "Well, of course! That boy is a descendant of the Sun Breathing users! He's a genius? He's completely different from you." Tanjiro says, "Tokito-kun's crow? Sun Breathing is the original breathing style... So he's really amazing... But he doesn't use Sun breathing, does he...?" A brief moment of silence occurs with the occasional sword clashing before the crow flies to Tanjiro's cheek and biting it while yelling, "Shut the heck up! I'll gouge your eyes out!" Tanjiro grabs the crow and begins to pull on it, earning him more pain. The crow finally let go and perched on his shoulder. The crow also said, "Sun Breathing or not, his talent still far exceeds yours!" Tanjiro dipped his head down and thought to himself, "You know what? I think the crow is right." The boy noticed Tanjiro's posture and patted his back whilst saying, "Hey, cheer up. Even if he has talent, I'm sure that you'll be able to pass him up." Tanjiro looks at the boy with a tear while introducing himself, "Thanks. You're so sweet. My name's Tanjiro. What's yours?" The boy also introduces himself, "I'm Kotetsu. You don't have to listen to this bully of a crow." Muichiro slashed the doll in the face, breaking some parts as shares flew around the area. Tanjiro let's out, "I- Its armour..." The boy begins to shiver with fear and takes off as Tanjiro calls out, "Kotetsu-kun!"
Tanjiro took off to find Kotetsu while saying, "I'll find you! I have a good sense of smell and perception! Kotetsu-kun! Ko-" Kotetsu hid atop in a tree as he said, "You're really good at climbing, huh? I'll help you with the doll in any way I can. Don't give up! You still have a future. You have to work hard so you can be better ten, twenty years later on. One day, you'll be able to do the things you can't do right now." Kotetsu was quiet before sniffling and saying with a shaky voice, "No, I can't. I know I'm just a pathetic guy. Everything is gonna end in my generation, and it's all my fault." Kotetsu looked to his right and saw Tanjiro floating. Tanjiro flicked him and said, "Don't be too reckless. Please don't talk about yourself that way." Kotetsu thought to himself, "How is he flying? Is this really part of the Demon Slayer Corps?" In the background, Tanjiro's crow and Muichiro's crow insult each other. Tanjiro continues, "If you can't do it yourself, then someone else will do it. But you have to put in effort so you can pass it on to the next generation. So even if you can't do it, then your kids and grandkids might be able to, right? I wanna beat Kibutsuji Muzan myself. And I want to save my sister who's now turned into a demon. But I believe someone will finish the deed for sure. Just like how we defeated an Upper Moon with the lives we connected. Those same lives will one day beat Kibutsuji. Let's work hard together!" Kotetsu sniffs twice and says, "I didn't want to see the doll break, but now I've made up my mind. His training session should last through the night. That's why I'll make sure... to mentally be ready." Tanjiro gleams.- Later -
Tanjiro says, "Oh! So you're ten. My brother was also..." Muichiro brushed past the two as Tanjiro asks, "Huh? You're done!?" Muichiro looks at the two and replies, "Yeah... It was great training. So who are... Oh, right. I broke my blade, so I'll be taking this one." Kotetsu was shocked and ran off in the direction Muichiro came from. Tanjiro called out, "Kotetsu-kun!" Muichiro threw the sword at Tanjiro who caught it while he says, "Dispose of this one for me." Muichiro and the crow begin to walk away as Tanjiro thought, "I don't sense any maliciousness... So he's probably not doing this on purpose... But still." The crow looked back at Tanjiro while Tanjiro puts a straight face on and adds, "That crow is definitely malicious though... She's really looking down on me." Tanjiro then took off to find Kotetsu.
It started to rain as Tanjiro finally found Kotetsu standing above the doll. Tanjiro patted his back while saying, "Kotetsu-kun. Let's make sure. It might still be able to move." Kotetsu jumped at Tanjiro's entrance.
The two begin to stand the doll up and successfully do so. It stood still as a statue while Tanjiro says, "Not moving... I guess that means..." The doll begins to move and assumed a stance as Tanjiro yells out, "Yes! It's moving, Kotetsu-kun! Good for..." Kotetsu silently stood in front of the doll and said, "It is, Tanjiro-san. Now train. Please. Become stronger than that shitty indifferent jerk...! I'll help you with all I've got!" Tanjiro ceases all movement and thought, "Wait... Right now?"Chapter 87: End
