"Ah, Theatre night. The one night a month we come together, watch our stories, and forget all our horrible, horrible troubles." Hop-pop said as he and the kids walked up to where the theatre was. They all sighed before Hop-pop pulled out a bag of popcorn and asked,"Now who wants popcorn?" "I'll pass, don't know if there are bugs..." Pika passed."I do!" Polly yelled. In the theatre, 2 frogs argued over a seat, and 3 different shades of blue pollywogs chanted."Theatre night!"The Plantars and Pika walked to where the seats are, and Sprig looks for a seat to find one in the middle."Oh! Right in the middle! Dibs!" he yelled as he pointed to the seat."That seat is mine!" Polly argued before hopping to the seat."Not if I get there first." Sprig argued as he ran to the seat, Sprig landed face first onto the seat."Jesus... is he ok?" Pika asked from the side lines."Boom!" Sprig cheered."No fair. You have appendages." Polly argued."Tut-tut. Sprig, give Polly the seat." Hop-pop scolded."Say what? Come on, Hop Pop. I got here first." Sprig complained."That's what older brothers do, Sprig. They look out for their little sisters. Now, move that rump over to that stump." Hop-pop told Sprig, Sprig gave up and sat on the stump before it fell apart "Damn dude, want my seat?" Pika asked, Sprig got up and sat on the log Pika previously was on before ranting."It's just not fair. Just because she's a little younger, she always gets special treatment." Pika knelt down behind Sprig."Sorry dude, can't relate... I'm the youngest child, and even if I wasn't, my parents give me and my brother equal treatment if it weren't for the fact that I was cursed with being deaf from deaf... other than that, it's fair treatment between me and my bro, " Pika explained with a shrug at the end, Sprig blew a raspberry."Lucky you..." Toadstool walked on stage."All right, now. Everybody settle down. I have some bad news. The acting troupe had to cancel on account of...well, being eaten on the way here." he announced, the crowd booed."We need our stories!" Mrs. Croaker yelled, "Well..." Pika muttered as they got up, their knees cracking, "I got something that might work, it's an 'anime movie', it's like a play but on a screen and not real" Pika explained, the crowd murmured

Later:
Pika placed their phone against a rock and had someone drag in a giant piece of glass to magnify the phone screen. "Thanks, Chad, local glass artisan." Pika thanked Chad "Yep" Chad replied "Ok, tonight I'm gonna show you an anime I enjoyed, in Japanese it's called 'Kimetsu no Yaiba' but in English it's 'Demon Slayer' so lets refer to it's English name, anyways there's some info necessary to know be-" Pika explained before Mrs. Croaker interrupted, "Just start the movie!"Okay, you got it!" Pika said before hitting play on their phone. The movie doesn't start "bloody hell, " They uttered as they pressed play again. The movie then began playing,

Film:
It began with a calming overview of a cemetery with Master Ubuyashiki and his wife walking through it, paying their respect for the fallen Slayer Corp members, it then changes to a train Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu have to hop on, once they got on they looked for the flame hashira 'Kyojuro rengoku', when they entered the train cart Rengoku was in they could hear someone yelling "Tasty". That person is the flame hashira with his red and yellow hair that makes him stand out


*fast forward bc I'm lazy, and to retell the whole movie would take a while it's almost 2 hours long*

As Tanjiro laid on the ground, bleeding from a wound that the train conductor inflicted on him, Rengoku told Tanjiro to concentrate on his breathing and to close up the wound, when the bleeding stopped Rengoku explained to Tanjiro "As long as you can master the breathing methods you can do things ordinary people can't do."

In reality:
"Wait, how can breathing help people do things ordinary people can't?" Hop-pop asked."Shut up, HP, " Pika whispered
