Donut Mockery at the Cursed Shrine

Tengen

Oi, Flame Hashira... heard you got turned into a donut by that Upper Moon.

Tengen

All that hot air, and you still ended up with a hole in your chest.

Rengoku

Tengen... you dare mock the sacrifice of a Hashira?

Rengoku

My death protected countless innocents!

Tanjiro

(His eyes... they're not Giyu's anymore... something's controlling me!)

Giyu

T-Tanjiro... stop... this isn't... you...

Tengen

(The boy's aura... it's corrupted. This isn't normal demon blood.)

Rengoku

Whatever's puppeteering you... release him, demon!

Tanjiro

(Can't... control... my body... Nezuko... help me!)

Tengen

Rengoku! The shrine's purification ropes—use them now!

Rengoku

These purification ropes should hold Tanjiro until we figure out what's controlling him.

Tengen

Upper Moon blood... I've seen this before. Someone's using him as a puppet.

Tanjiro

(My body... it's moving on its own... I can feel something crawling under my skin!)

Giyu

The corruption... it's spreading through his bloodstream. We need to—

Rengoku

Then I'll burn it out of him! Flame Breathing—

Tengen

(That presence... it can't be...)

Rengoku

A-Akaza... how... you're supposed to be...

Tanjiro

(Yes... free... and now, Hashira... you die again.)
