 Yeah, I'm cutting through these now! Yeah, who said anything about dodging the rest of these attacks? Come here! I already see that thread. It's game over! How's it going everybody? Dottonoi here and I am very excited because yes, as you can see on your screen, we are playing the brand new Demon Slayer game, Demon Slayer the Hinokami Chronicles. There's too many reasons to count why I'm excited for this game. One, it's developed by the same people that made the Storm series. And two, I'm just a big fan of the franchise overall. I did read the manga and finish it. But let's be real, the anime just heightens that material to a brand new level, which is why I'm so excited for this that I wanted to start off on the loading screen. So we're just going in for me. Dude, look at this title screen and I'm still installing the game. Not that I'm waiting. I'm not I'm going to wait for my full experience. All right, dude, I'm not going to wait for this installation progress to finish. I'm just going to play my story mode a bit. Would you? Oh, transitions. My God, within the blade. I didn't know this make a jump this. Oh, what? Oh, we're already starting in the training. I guess they didn't want us to watch our family die. That's all right. You know, we started with this fight. Burns, a young man's determination. We're just skipping the my family dies arc. All right. That that works for me. Oh, and we are. Oh, you finally learned proper breathing techniques. This guy's talking a lot for somebody. I'm about to I assume I'm going to be in the game. This is am I allowed to talk spoilers? I don't know if I want to talk spoilers, but let's just say this guy's lucky. I'm not going to be the first one to do this to him. Hey, first bit of gameplay. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh, oh, changing up the attitude real quick with this tutorial. I should read this. Damn, hold on. How are you dashing like that? Oh, oh, quick step. Yo, oh. You know, I keep my defense is maxed up. Oh, wait, there's also a deflect. Oh, I don't know why it chose to head, but I got with a mask. But let's go eight for it. Oh, my God, it looks so good. All right, now for the sixth form. Hey, chase dash boost during boost surge. We got power ups. Oh, my God. And let me hit you with this too. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, I know this is a tutorial, but I am soft to go. Wow, my God. Oh, my God, that looks so good. Of course I have, bro. Did you just see what I hit you with? Oh, that's an easy S right. Come here. Oh, my God. All right, he's pretty good. I'll give him that, dude. If you can cut this boulder in two. Oh, we're going to cut the boulder. Just give me the sword. No, don't give up, dude. Quick time event. Don't give up, dude. Oh, no, we are going to start with the my family dies arc. No, I don't want to watch. Oh, I don't want to watch this again. Mom, my siblings, they all died. Oh, my God. They're giving us the extra. They're just giving us the lower quick. Give me my sword. Oh, we might actually just battle him for real. Then we're going to get the quick time event. Oh, no, dude, this is the final standoff. This guy's going to get his ass beat. The first real battle begins. Can we actually hold on? Hold out for us. Let's go. I'm just starting with some light attacks. Hit him with the whirlpool as well. Perfect guard. Oh, he didn't do anything. Oh, I was. I was mixing in my breathing with the with the oh, it's cutscene time. Oh, the first quick time event of the game. This is going to be crazy. This is going to go crazy. He's doing it in that case. Total concentration. Oh, yeah. Don't mess with me. I am. You know, I perfected all the storm games. Get out of my way. No, it's not a tie. That's right. We in the lead, baby. The thread. I can see it. The opening thread. Let's go. I'm coming straight for that man's head. Oh, no. No. I didn't know what they wanted. No. Why are you looking at me like that? Still got that S-rank though. I just unfortunately failed the climactic finish. You going to admit that we're strong enough now? Keep winning, Tanjiro. You must defeat him. All right. I think I think it's safe to spoil it now. These guys have been dead. They were dead the whole time. I've just been training this rock. That's a clean slice right there. I didn't think you would actually do it. Well, of course, dude. I was training with your other students. I mean... To be honest, I never had any intention of sending you to final selection. Why not? I couldn't bear to see any more children die. Truly remarkable. I am proud, you know. The waterworks start flowing, dude. I'm sure you come back alive from final selection. I don't even worry about that. That's easy work. Your sister and I will be waiting for you. I don't even worry about me. I'll be back in a few days' time. He walks the path of a demon slayer. All right, so we are moving on from this chapter. Chapter one was just prologue. Just something to get... Oh, no, dude. We're already... The final selection really is where the game kicks off. Tanjiro has trained long and hard under his master, Uro Kadaki. In order to find his way to regain his sister's humanity and avenge his family. After witnessing Tanjiro overcome the Boulder Trial, Uro Kadaki allows him to participate in final selection. The last step to becoming a demon slayer. Oh, no, they're sending us to final selection. Oh, yeah, but we get to sleep first. Oh, I'm getting my hair cut, dude. I'm getting... Hey, can't head out before I'm ready. Dude, this game looks so good visually. The time has come. Oh, no. Oh, they're going to send us up the mountain. Look at my face. Like, I'm like, oh, what am I getting into, bro? Don't... The mask, I appreciate it, but spoilers don't want that. I don't know about this, dude. I get it's supposed to protect me from harm, but... All right. Appreciate it. All right, he's leaving us to our own devices. I guess we should probably get some sleep. Maybe I should check on Nezuko first. That's probably what I'll go do. And let me go over, see how Nezuko's doing. Yep, she's sleeping all right. Oh, no. Even she's having flashbacks to family being killed times. And these are just stills from the anime. There's no way they drew. I don't know if I can show that. First, I have to pass final selection. Oh, my God. Bro, this final boss about a hit. Now I'm feeling more mentally ready. I got my warding mask. I got my new uniform. And I don't have to worry about my sister. Ah, this is the real beginning of the game, dude. We're all... Oh! Progress with the story by going to the locations with two exclamation marks. All right, so it's kind of like Storm 2. I guess I'll just... Let me explore this way. Up. All right, maybe I won't explore it. All right, now... Oh, no. Why did I say that now? I just told this guy to say hi to his dead kids. So there I was on the way to the mount. Oh, I'm already here. Here's my... You could just tell who's going to survive it. Bro, this is main character symptom all over, dude. These guys dressed in all black should have definitely wore something more flashy. Oh, no. They ain't going to make it, dude. Okay, at least this guy... You know, this guy kind of showed up with some main character potential. See, look, look. Look at the difference between me and a character that's going to survive. Like, two characters that are going to survive. Five characters that are going to die. Yeah, I'm prepared for final... I'm ready. I got to say I'm ready. They were waiting on me. It's like a dangerous zoo of demons. Oh, no. The demons here are very hungry. In order to complete final selection, you must survive seven days beyond the Wisteria's protection. That's a whole week. Oh, no. Why are these guys not dressed in main protagonist gear so confident? Don't go, guys. Shouldn't be a problem. Okay, it might be a problem. It might be a problem. I didn't expect the music to kick in. Not much going on around here. I'm going to be honest, you know. Oh, never mind. Apparently, there's demons here. Demons. It's me. Yeah, boy. I got my wording masked. So don't even think about trying anything. Demons. Don't attack me. I'm just collecting some special Yamitsu points. Dude, I told you you didn't have the right colors on your uniform. You should have never came out here. All right. I'll help you. No, he's not okay. Dude, he's freaking out. The other guy I was with got killed by a demon. It happened right in front of me. I'm so scared. I can't move. There could be a demon nearby. I should be careful, too. My nose is leading me right. And it's never once led me wrong. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I got a cutscene. Oh, no, dude. Oh, we're going into a double battle already. Nah, bro. You pulled up on the wrong guy. Oh, shit. These guys got techniques. Nah, you still pulled up on the wrong guy, though. Nah. Look at this guy missing, bro. Chased out. Where are you going? Oh, wait. Now's my chance. Oh, my goodness. You got to watch your neck. Oh, don't give me a threat. Oh, dude, you look less intimidating than the last guy. Get out of my way. Perry. Perry. Perry. Don't even try it. And you're done. Bro, these guys should not have pulled up on me like that. That's another S rank for the books. Wow. I did it. My training wasn't for nothing. Let's go. Easy couple of first kills. All right. But now that I'm done getting hyped, rest in peace. All right. I got to find these other survivors, dude. If I'm going to get these bonus side mission rewards, I got to find these other survivors. Oh, my God. No, my nose is going crazy. While exploring an area as Tanjiro, you can sometimes track sense with R2. Oh, God. Is this guy dead? Hello? A demon attacked me. It really hurts. Bro, you shouldn't have come out here. I never want to see a demon again. Oh, no, this guy's lost all hope. All right, dude, the tracking sent button isn't working. Oh, no, there it is. That's the sent. Oh, my God. Uh, demons. It's me. Yeah, boy. Once again. Oh, oh, my God. What the fuck was that? I was in smell vision. Was that a human or a demon? Uh, I think that was a human. Yep. That's him. What are you running from, bro? Bro, this guy just ran for his life unless that wasn't him. In which case he is screwed. All right. Well, I guess I'm just going to keep following the demon. Oh, man. I'm not liking the smell of this. Oh, you try to pull up on me. Who is this? Who is this filler demon, bro? Harry. Harry. Harry. Don't try it. Whoo. I'm liking that little combo. And let me take that skull from you real quick. Get out of my way. If all you're doing is trying to buy time, then I guess, yeah, keep doing that. But you're not even the guy I was smelling. Are you? No, you're not. Bro, who is screaming? Oh, it's him. I told you, I specifically said this guy had the best chance. I'm surviving. There is a strange smell. I mean, I tracked the strange smell here, but I thought it was a demon. Wait, it isn't a demon smells. Wait, are they introducing? Wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what? Wait, this is a story. This is a rewrite. This is not act. This is not. Wait, this is not anime accurate. I don't remember that. What? Wait, what? Why is he here? I'm going to go see if I can find his little dumb ass. Maybe I can get an early fighting with him. I guess they just they just have this guy running around the forest. So that's sort of a guy almost got taken out by a complete human. Idiot, bro. What are you doing in the final selection if you can't even handle that? Oh, no. That guy's fucking dead. I specifically warned you when we were at camp that you were going to die. Oh, okay. The least I could do is protect his body. I got to at least protect his body of memory. Nope. Come here. Oh, this is. Oh, that combo. Oh my God. Disgusting combos. All right. Goodbye. I like it. You just get them down to like a quarter health and then it's just game. You just go for the neck every time. Should I mourn this guy's death? Yeah, let's let's let's mourn him. I can't help him now. Dude, I told him not to come out here. He broke his sword, bro. That guy got caught slipping, bro. Oh my God. There's another guy screaming. Wait, Zenitsu. Bro, he's scared. Bro, he is screaming up a store. Bro, you're fine. You're wearing protagonist. You're wearing a bright protagonist outfit. You'll be okay. Oh my God. He got scared by the wind. Can I track him down too? I can't, but there's a reward over the which the way he went. He must have jumped these logs, dude. All right. Well, I'll be seeing him later. Spoilers. Oh, he's running for his life. Oh, no wonder he's running, dude. Another one of these filler demons. All right. You're getting the full combo. Oh, wait, go ahead. Try some. Let me parry that. Come here. Let me give you the full combo. Waterfall. Waterwheel. Waterfall. Waterwheel. Waterfall. I could do better than that. Oh, no, I didn't block. I didn't block. I wasn't blocking. That's my bad. I didn't block again. Again. I'm really not trying to play these games with this guy. All right. There we go. All right. You've lost enough help. Boom. Another head gone. That better still be an S, bro. No. No. I just forgot to block. I need to go check out the other participants. Even though they're all dead, I got to go save them. They're all going to die, but I can at least check in on them one more time. Excuse me, sir. I saw you run away from the demon. I came to ask why you scared? Why are you hiding? I won't die. I'm actually doing pretty good for myself. Even if the others get eaten by demons, I'll survive and make it through final selection. Oh my God. I can literally smell his fear. Bro, Tadro literally said it smells like bitch in here. That's crazy. Oh, no. He can smell. I was getting ready to kill that deer. Oh, wow. She saved him. That was amazing. She's just not going to say anything, bro. That hurt. Sucks to suck, I guess. All right. Last exclamation point, and then we can move on to the final selection. Every time I've walked five steps, I hear a different guy scream. Oh, how could I smell blood again? Dude, there's no way. No, there's no blood coming from this direction. It's just a nice, peaceful, tranquil waterfall. Oh my God. It's him. Hey. All right. I feel like we're pretty far apart that that wasn't warranted, but whatever. Oh, okay. Yeah. You could really tell who's going to be all right and who's not. One by the close and two by how they act. I think we all know that I got to fight the final boss of final selection. All right. There's a memory fragment this way as well. I'm going to take a right first. Where if any demons pull up on me, I am not getting another a rank. I will let them know that right now. Oh no. Oh no. Somebody died and left their weapon, dude. Hello. Any swordsmen here missing swords? All right. We got a memory fragment. All right. If nobody needs help, I'm just going to leave. Oh my God. Something's rumbling through the woods. There's so much blood in the air. I could practically smell the bloodlust. Oh no. Oh no. I told you you were going to die. Another dead body. Oh my God. I told him not to go. Dude, I told all those guys not to go. Jesus. Look at these. Oh my God. Look at these prints. Oh no. That demon just tore through here on a rampage, knocked over every tree in the vicinity and killed another guy. Another dead body. Kind of knew that one was going to happen. And I think that's everything we could have completed here. The final selection has been totally cleared out other than this big demon that's clearly been going on a rampage. But I think it's about time we stop him. Oh dude, the scent leads this way. I'm going in. I'm going in, dude. I'm not going to be afraid. Let's go. Oh, there he is. Oh wow. He pulled up on me fast. This guy got to update his calendar. You've been trapped here for years, huh? Oh no. He's pissed. This guy is throwing a fit. Oh, that's not a good sign that he hates my Jesus. He has built huge. Oh God, dash out of that. Oh, I barely dodged that. Oh my God. I was one step away from death. Come here. Whoa. That's a grab. Oh my God. Oh God. Oh my God. This guy's a different beast. I can't. What do I do? I've only ever fought baby demons compared to this guy. Don't grab me. Back step. Back step. Oh, no. Dodge that. Dodge left. Oh my God. I'm too fast. You know I cut a boulder in half before coming here, bitch? You shouldn't have killed my friends. All right. All right. I'm not going to hold it against you, though. You did what you did, and I think that's fine. Oh, he's getting close. No, no, no. Back up. Back up. All right. One swing. Two swing. You should have kept it to yourself. Waterfall. Oh God. I'm messing him up, though. He is getting injured. He can't handle me. I know his patterns now. He got me with what? One grab. Waterfall. Oh, he blew me back. Do I boost? I'm going to boost. Maybe I shouldn't have gone in. Oh, he tried to hit me with the grab. Coward. I got him on the run. I got him on the run. Put everything into this final swing. You're done. All right. I'll give you one last chance to re- Why do you get his full health back? No, no, no, no, no. Oh, all right. Battles over. The opening thread. What do you mean not good enough? Oh. Okay. All right. No. My warning. Yeah. Some warning mask. That was how you ain't devouring anything, bro. Oh, it's my it's my dead little brother. Oh, back roll. Oh, oh, you thought it was over? I got the power of family with me. It's far from over. Oh, I'm just, I'm going to fall. Let's go. This game is sick. Oh, he's getting beefed up, though. We're entering the real fight now. I promised myself I wasn't going to get any more A ranks. It's all S ranks from here. This is the end of the final selection. If I could beat this guy, I can beat anybody. All right. All right. I just want to see. I want to see his opening move. This again. Oh, but now you can throw two rocks. Yeah. Real impressive kid. How about I come over there? Oh my God. Whoa. Come here. Waterfall. Waterwheel. All right. I should have backed up. You're right. You're right. I got too close. Get out of there. Oh, barely. Oh, he's scared. Here it comes. What is this power up? All right. I'm a power up too. Then you think you're so impressive, dude. Go ahead. You want to do one more to get out of your system? I didn't think so. Oh, he's weak. Get in all the cheap shots we can. Let's go. Perry. Perry. Perry. All right. Just get back. Get back. We did a lot of damage there. Don't get greedy. Don't get greedy. He's down again. No, he's not. No, he's not. Dude, isn't rage state again? Just lead him to this wall. Dash out. And then we're going to lead him back again the other same way. Same strategy. We are going to make it through final selection. I promise myself no more A ranks. Night. You're dead. I need a boost. Let's go. Full power. He's below the red line. All right. Now we just got to find the opening thread. Where's the opening thread? Here it comes. Oh my God, dude. Nice try. I could smell your hands underground. Oh, who says anything about dodging? I ain't dodging anything. Oh, I am dodging. I thought I was going to cut through it. Yeah, I'm cutting through these now. Yeah. Who said anything about dodging the rest of these attacks? Come here. My neck is tough. He can't cut through it. First form. I already see that thread. It's game over. And I'm not missing this time. Just like I missed on my teacher. Character development. That time I got it perfect. Looks like you weren't as good as you thought, dude. I'm afraid to close my eyes. Oh, no. This is what death is, demon. He doesn't want to be the last thing to see in my face, but I'm going to... I'm going to... Oh, dude, I'm showing him sympathy. I like how I'm going up to his body instead of his head. Oh, this guy smells like bitch, dude, here. I don't want to be a demon. Aw. Aw, here comes the waterworks, dude. Yeah, but get on, dude. You sucked. Should have been better. That was sad, man. That was sad. But at least we did it. We accomplished what they wanted us to accomplish. Seven days later. Oh, so that was just day one. And what do you know? The protagonist made it through. Everybody we expected to survive survived. Even Inosuke is somewhere out there. We get new uniforms. New uniforms and a new rank? This guy just wants a sword. I know Tanjiro chooses his own, but do I get to like choose mine? Oh, yeah, we also get our own bird. I get to meet my bird for the first time. Nice. Wait, doesn't Zenitsu get like a baby bird? Why? He doesn't get a crow. Okay, good. Hey, man, that was come on, man. Tree your bird. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why is he being so aggressive? Yeah, get your hands off of her. That didn't take much convincing. All right. Time to make our sword. Zenitsu just thinks he's fucking done for. I'm going to smell out the best one. My nose wants this one. Oh, they brought us back here. We're going to get an update from the head man himself. Bro, this guy's hyped over five survivors. That is not a good rate. What kind of swordsman will I be the best? Dude, I'm going to be the best of the best. And that is another title card sequence. Final selection has been beaten. I got to head back home. Character development. What if a demon jumped us right now? Just be game over. I'm so close. Damn. Let's go just kick the door down. Yo. Oh, dude. Damn it. My walking stick. Oh, dude, it was all worth it, dude. We survived. Hey, let it out, man. Sometimes you just need a good cry. Wood drops to ground. It's going to be a family hug, dude. Group hug. I shouldn't have said family. That was the bad word. That's countless members of our families. Oh, man. It's a real tearjerker. Oh, chapter one final selection, Finn. I feel like that's a good place to wrap up as any. Hopefully you guys enjoyed the first episode of what might be a full on Demon Slayer playthrough. I don't know. Let me know what you guys thought of this video. We're going to try to work over all right. Hey, I am how you can't do that to me, dude. All because like, I'm going to have to play through the entire section of the game. You can't give me overall rank A because I got one A, dude. No. That's stupid fourth demon that I forgot to block against. Sorry, guys. It's looking like it's going to be a black Katana for me. One behind as well. Oh, the Nezuko surprise.
