What if Tanjiro was a Pure Saiyan? (DB X KNY)

Sabito & Tsutako

"It's a waste of your time."

Tanjiro thought, "I bet... Giyu wishes that he'd died. I understand it so well it hurts. When someone does, someone who is important... That you wish they'd lived instead of you... and they died protecting you... It feels like you're being ripped apart. Sabito... was the boy who trained me on Mount Sagiri. Although it didn't help me much, it was such a strange experience. Those two were already dead... but they helped me. I understand... Sabito went through Final Selection together with Giyu. If he'd survived, he'd be about the same age as Giyu is now. That's really incredible. At Final Selection, he saved everyone! I couldn't do that! I was too busy defending myself. If Sabito had lived, he would have been an incredible swordsman! That must be another reason why Giyu thinks it would've been better if he had died instead. But what should I say to Giyu? No matter how wretched or ashamed you feel, you have to keep on living. Giyu doesn't see it himself, but he has become a Hashira! He must have driven himself hard, struggled on his way up and suffered a lot! I don't know much about Giyu, so... I won't criticize him. But... But... There's one thing I must ask no matter what." Tanjiro then says, "G... Giyu!" Giyu was unfazed and kept walking. Tanjiro thought, "Aw! He won't stop." He then said, "Giyu! Don't you make use of... The gift that Sabito gave you?" Giyu stopped in his tracks and widened his eyes.

- Memory of Giyu's -
A young Giyu drops to the ground with a visible slap mark on his cheek. A young Sabito was also in a position as if he was the one who hit, which he did. Giyu stutters, "S... Sabito...!" The young Sabito warns, "Don't you ever say that you wish... that you'd died again! If you do, we're through! I won't be your friend! Your older sister was getting married the next day! And yet she hid and protected you from the demon! You and no one else! So don't disrespect her death like that! You better stay alive! Your sister sacrificed hers to save yours... And you give you a future!"

- Present -
The much older Giyu felt the cheek where he was slapped and heard the words,

"You must carry on living... Giyu."

Giyu thought, "That hurt. I remember the shock and pain of Sabito striking my cheek vividly. Why did I forget that exchange with Sabito? It's important. I didn't want to remember... Because my tears would never stop. When I did remember, I was so sad that I couldn't do anything. Tsutako... Sabito... I'm sorry I'm so immature." Tanjiro had sweat dripping down his face and thought, "Uh-oh... He isn't reacting at all. Oh no! Was I too mean? He already seemed pretty depressed. Did I just make things worse? I know! Maybe I could challenge him to an eating contest!" With each thought he'd think of, his smile grew bigger, "And if I win, he has to cheer himself up and train me! He's pretty strong so I'll benefit greatly from it! He doesn't like to talk, but you don't need to talk during an eating contest! It's a great idea!" Giyu turns to Tanjiro and said, "Tanjiro... I'm late. I have lessons too." Tanjiro then asks, "Hey, Giyu... wanna have a soba eating contest?" Giyu thought, "Why...?!" Later on, the two had a full-on eating contest, with Tanjiro winning of course. That Hashira training continues at full force with Giyu's participation.

- Meanwhile -
Shinobu walked down a hallway with a stern expression. She then visits a betsudan, supposedly her older sister, Kanae's. She sat in front of it and thought, "Be calm. It's alright. Help me calm down. Only immature can't control their emotions. So I guess I'm immature." Shinobu put on a fake smile with a few irk marks appearing on her face. She breathed out while Kanao suddenly says, "Master! You're back! I'm going to train with the wind Hashira. Can I train with you after the stone Hashira?" Shinobu answered, "I can't participate in the Hashira training this time." Kanao was shocked and asks, "Huh? W... Why not?" Shinobu gestures to Kanao to get closer while saying, "Kanao... Come here." Kanao sat in front of Shinobu. Kanao then said, "Um... Uh... I just wanted to train with you more, Master." Shinobu was surprised and smiled at her. Shinobu then says, "Kanao, you've gotten much better... At speaking your mind. It is a good sign. So now is the right time." Kanao was confused while Shinobu continues, "Let's talk about... how to kill... the demon who killed my sister Kanae."

- Elsewhere -
A crow flew above a house. And inside that house, Tamayo and Yushiro resided. Tamayo sat by a table while writing something, and beside her, was an open window. A crow then flew to the window and said, "Good evening, Tamayo! It's dangerous to leave your window open at night. Still... The moon is beautiful tonight. Let me introduce myself... I'm Kagaya Ubuyashiki's messenger! You're very good at hiding. While I was trying to find you, my master lost his ability to move." Tamayo asks, "How do you know... I was here?" Kagaya's crow answered, "I followed a human trail. I identified the former owner of this house, from whom you bought it. And then, during the day, I took control of Yushiro's sense of sight. I have some training... But I'm just a crow. So no one is that way of me. Relax. I have no intention of harming you two." Tamayo asks, "Then what is it you want?" The core answered, "Hmm... I understand why you're suspicious. It will be tough to win your trust... Like Tanjiro did." Tamayo thought, "What are his intentions? Is Ubuyashiki trying to trick me?" She then asks, "Where is Yushiro?" The crow answered with footsteps above the ceiling, "There's no need to worry about him. See? You can hear him running. Now... Let's discuss my business. There's a child I'm the Demon Slayer Corps who is also knowledgeable about demon physiology and pharmacology. We'd like you two to study Nezuko's transformation together. Will you work with us to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji? Come to Ubuyashiki mansion... Please." Tamayo had so much on her mind. Fear, nervousness and all others. She thought, "Go to the Demon Slayer Corps hideout... Even though I'm a demon?"
