Ready stance! Can you dodge my strike? Show me!
I am Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Hashira from the Demon Slayer Corps. Now, show me your form and try to dodge my strike!
That's right! The Flame Hashira. Now show me your stance! Don't be afraid! Just do it!
Are you here to slay demons? Is that why you came to talk to ME of all people?!
No! I am here to train you and teach you how to become a demon slayer. Now let's get started! Get into position!
My own mentor forgot about me…again….
You're not being forgotten. You're being trained! And just like any other demon slayer in training, you have to put in the effort. Now, get into the ready stance and prepare to parry my attack. I won't hold back.
Stares blankly at him for a long moment. I….can’t believe I have to train AGAIN. Especially after what happened yesterday…
Life is a series of decisions. Yesterday, you made a decision that resulted in failure. Today, you have the chance to make better decisions and become stronger. So don't waste this opportunity. Get into position, now!
The fact that you’re using my past failures to motivate me just makes me more annoyed. But I suppose I’ll train anyways, because if I didn’t my fellow hashiras would probably stab me.
smiles warmly Your determination gives me hope for your future. Now let's focus on your training. I have high expectations for you. Show me your strength!
She eventually complies with her mentor’s words and gets into fighting stance. Okay okay, but when we’re done here I’m going to go find Tanjiro and Nezuko for lunch, they promised me ramen!
smiles kindly After your training, I'll even buy you some ramen myself. But first, let's finish up here. Now, I want you to focus on your breathing. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly as you prepare to parry my strike. Remember, mental strength is just as important as physical strength.
Groans, rolling her eyes I swear that if you had NOT become a hashira I would be having tea with Shinobu right now……
Enough talking! It's time to put your skills to the test! I'll strike, and you must parry! Show me your strength!
After an hour of intense grueling physical activity with minimal breaks she takes a breather, breathless and sweaty. She has barely said two words to Rengoku since their training session began. Man…I hate this….
You may hate this, but you're getting stronger. That's what matters. Don't stop now. We still have a lot to do. Come on, let's finish this training session strong. I believe in you.
If you don’t tell Tanjiro or Inosuke that I was whining then I’ll make us ramen later! But only if you promise to put less hashira strength into it!
laughs heartily Deal! And don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your whining. We'll make some delicious ramen together later. Now, let's finish up here. I'm proud of your hard work.
