Chapter 62
【59L---
Oops, typo, that's alright (hehe)
Anyway, Wumei even confused me - so what exactly is his true self?
60L---
Going back upstairs, that gentleman should be Wu Mi's original appearance.
#Wu-wu usually appears as a young man with black hair, tall stature, pale skin and plum-red eyes. Sometimes, he changes his appearance according to his own needs, disguising himself as a beautiful woman or child. #——Selected from the original text. 】
"Write it down!" Fuzugawa Miyabi pulled a lucky guy over and shook his shoulder, accurately finding the key words in the description, "black hair, tall figure, skin as pale as paper, plum-red eyes, usually a young man, but also women and children!"
"Yes! Lord Wind Pillar! I've remembered it! Please stop shaking my shoulders!" Goto, the lucky man who was pulled over by Fuzukawa Michiya, was crying silently in his heart.
Damn it! I could have taken a day off today...
【61L---
Okok, let’s forget about Wupo first and talk about Xiaoyue.
62L---
As for the controversy surrounding Gyoyue...I feel that he is second only to Douma, or even bigger than Mumu.
63L---
The controversy over Xiaoyue is indeed huge.
On the one hand, some people think that Xiyue is one of the few pure villains in "Demon Slayer", and everything he does is without reason and is just pure evil. On the other hand, some people believe that "man is inherently good" and that there are reasons for the bad things Xiyue does.
64L---Owner---
There is indeed a lot of controversy... (Thinking) (Alert jpg.) So everyone please don't quarrel, we are analyzing what is going on with Xiaoyue! 】
Iguro Obanai's gaze turned to Gyouyue under the tree again: Are you simply evil or are you doing this for a reason? Let me decide.
Fuzugawa simply dislikes all the people who turned from Demon Slayers into demons. He snorted, "You've already turned into a demon, what else can you be bitter about?"
【65L---
Personally, I think Yaoyue is pretty good.
The original novel describes him like this: #In the Demon Slayer Corps, although he is powerful and abides by the rules, he is not popular. He has a strong desire to win and believes that as long as he lives, he will be rewarded one day.
"It is not shameful to surrender to a strong person with overwhelming power. As long as I can survive, there will always be a way. I will not lose until I die. Even if I have to beg for mercy, even if I have no home and have to drink muddy water, even if I am accused of stealing money, as long as I can survive, I will win one day, and I will win for you to see! I always believe in this and keep moving forward."
All kidding aside, I honestly think that there is nothing shameful about yielding to someone who has overwhelming power (guilty jpg.).
66L---
So that's why you conquered Upper Rank One and turned into a demon?
67L---
But I read in the novel that after he met Upper Rank One, it was the Upper Rank Half that forced him to feed his demon blood to Gion.】
"His idea itself is not wrong. Sometimes it is advisable to surrender to the strong." Kuwajima Jigoro sighed, "It's just that the strong person is wrong."
...But since it was semi-forced, does that mean that Giongaku still has the dignity of a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?
Kaburamaru tapped Iguro's shoulder with his tail - Iguro did not comment on Giongake's performance.
【68L---
Let’s first look at Xiyue’s past.
As a child, Xiaoyue became an orphan without a home to return to. He believed that no matter what the process was, as long as he was alive, he could definitely change the status quo.
Later (around 6 or 8 years old), he was taken back to the temple by Gyoumei Kuei-shi and adopted. When he was with Gyoumei Kuei-shi and other orphans, Gyou-yue also behaved like a normal child - he ate with everyone and was patted on the head by Gyoumei Kuei-shi, showing a happy smile.
One day, because of stealing money, Xiaoyue was chased out of the temple by other children that night. Knowing that there were ghosts in the area and incense burners had to be lit at night, they carried Beimingyu Xingming on their backs and lied to Xingming that Xiaoyue had already fallen asleep.
69L---
Since Beimingyu Xingming has brought him back to the temple, he already has his own ties and will not have to worry about food and drink, so why would he steal money?
70L---
The author didn't write this in the book... well, who knows. 】
“What happened back then… no one knows the truth, Amitabha.” Facing the puzzled gazes of the Demon Slayer Corps members, Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and sighed softly.
Xiao Yue... Even though he did something wrong, when he was driven out by the other kids, did you ever hope that you could go out and find him?
Amitabha...who knows?
【71L---
What about the incense burner filled with wisteria flowers? Did he move it?
72L---
The ghost and the incense burner did not appear in the brief revolving picture when encountering Kokushibo, so we can roughly speculate that the ghost has seen Gion, but Gion has never seen the ghost and has not touched the incense burner.
73L---
But it was mentioned in the extra story that Gyouyue was the boy who attracted ghosts to Mr. Beimingyu's temple.
74L---
The author didn't explain it clearly at all... I guess only Xiaoyue himself knows whether the incense burner was moved or not.
75L---
Never mind, let's move on.
What happens after being kicked out?
76L---
Then he became Jigoro Kuwashima's disciple.
Many years after escaping from the temple (about 8-9 years later), Gyoku went to Momoyama and worshipped the original leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kuwajima Jigoro, as his master, and learned the Breathing of Thunder with his fellow apprentice Zenitsu Agatsuma. 】
"Regarding the incense burner incident... it doesn't matter whether he did it or not. Now is not the time to bring up the past." Colleague C said, "Even if he did it, what can we do? Expel him from the Demon Slayer Corps? Make him commit seppuku?"
"But if he really did it..." Murata retorted, "It was a time bomb!"
【77L---
Because of his hard work, Gyoku was recognized by his master, Kuwashima, who asked Zenitsu to regard him as a role model. Gyoku learned the remaining five forms of Thunder Breathing, but he could never learn the first form, Thunderbolt Flash.
78L---
Tsk... These two brothers are really something, one can't learn the first form no matter how hard he tries, and the other can only learn the first form.
79L---
Is this a destined rival?
Gyokugawa hates Zenitsu's lack of effort and thinks it's a disgrace to Zenitsu, and that Jigoro Kuwajima is wasting his time on his junior fellow apprentice, and he hates Zenitsu's rude behavior of calling Jigoro Kuwajima "grandpa".
80L---
Whispering: Actually, he is not that good, right? After he turned into a ghost, he called the other party old man. 】
Jigoro Kuwajima recalled the daily lives of the two men, Giongaku's hatred for Zenitsu, and the ending revealed on the screen, and sighed silently: Maybe these two men really are destined to be rivals.
【81L---
After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, he was not popular in the team (his teammates even said something bad to him: "If he can't learn only one kata, then... even if he learns other katas, it won't be a big deal, right? But Gion is so arrogant" and cursed him, "He can't be a pillar at all! He will die soon anyway!")
When Gyokugawa learned that his junior fellow apprentice Zenitsu had used violence against his superior, he reprimanded him, "I heard that you beat up someone of a higher class than you? You useless bastard, don't cause trouble! It's a shame to have someone like you!"
82L---
I feel like Gyoku is really being ungrateful at this moment - Zenitsu is helping him out! Why is he scolding Zenitsu? He even calls him a disgrace!
83L---
Is it possible that Gion felt that his own affairs should not involve Zenitsu, and was afraid that Zenitsu would be harassed in the future because he beat someone of a higher class than him?
84L---
It’s hard to say. If it was Senior [Xiaoyue] from Kigetsu Academy, he might think so, but Xiaoyue? That’s really hard to say. 】
"Is the relationship between these two brothers good or bad? I'm really confused!" Colleague B exaggeratedly covered his forehead, "One moment it feels like the relationship is bad, and the next moment it feels like the relationship seems to be pretty good?"
"There's actually someone in the Demon Slayer Corps who is so unrefined as to gossip about others and curse them?" Uzui Tengen raised his eyebrows, "His popularity is even worse than Tomioka's?"
Tomioka's popularity was already bad, right? But no one cursed him, and yet he never did. Of course, it could be that they didn't know, or it could be that because Tomioka was a pillar, those who talked behind his back didn't have the guts to do so.
【85L---
During the patrol period in the later period of the Pillar Training, Gonyue encountered the Upper String One, Kokushibo, while on a mission. Isolated and helpless and facing overwhelming power, Gonyue begged for mercy from Kokushibo. However, Kokushibo thought, "Becoming a demon... becoming stronger... do you want... you?", so he semi-forced Gonyue to give his blood and transformed.
86L---
...begging for mercy?
Okay, I understand. If I met that brother, I would probably beg for mercy faster than Xiao Yue.
87L---
Although Muzan Kibutsuji Muzan had lost interest in turning the swordsman who practiced the Breathing Technique into a demon, he still chose to recognize him after hearing Kokushibo's recommendation. He transformed the blood of Kokushibo that Gonyue had taken, turned Gonyue into a demon, and looked forward to his growth.
Next, Gyotake replaced the already destroyed Daki and Gitarou as the new Upper Six. As he became a demon, his master, Kuwajima Jigoro, committed seppuku to apologize.
88L---
I remember Yushiro also commented on the battle between Zenitsu and Gion - the Upper Rank (Gion) that Zenitsu just fought was unable to use his spells and abilities skillfully... You are lucky in this regard. If you had fought again a year later, you would probably have died on the spot.
89L---
Does this mean that...Xiao Yue still has a talent for fighting? 】
"Hmm! He may have some talent for fighting!" Rengoku Kyojuro said, "But I still can't understand why he would abandon the dignity of a swordsman to beg for mercy from a demon with overwhelming power! At present, I think the best way for him is to stop him from fighting against the Twelve Demon Moons! After all, he has a certain amount of strength, and it seems that he is willing to work hard to kill demons!"
"Too naive, Mr. Rengoku," Tokito Muichiro interrupted. "Can you guarantee that he will always encounter weaker ghosts? If he encounters a ghost that is slightly stronger - stronger than him, can you be sure that he will not beg for mercy?"
