Demon Slayer (Kimetsu No Yaiba) Dubbed version...can't quite catch I am non-native English speaker trying to practice my listening skill by watching and listening my favorite anime Kimetsu no yaiba English dubbed version.
(I have found that this way I tend to keep my focus longer with interest)
I have watched the first episode and am stuck at the first encounter of Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka.
When Tanjiro begged not to kill Nezuko, Giyu got angry and said,
&quot;Don't xxxxxxx like that will give your enemy the chance to kill you!&quot;
I couldn't catch the xxxxxxx part at all, and can not find any closed caption.
English Subtitles of Japanese audio doesn't match with dubbed version so I am totally lost.
I tried to guess and the closest word I could get was &quot;quave&quot; or &quot;grovel&quot;,
If you watched the English Dub, would you please teach me what it says?
In original word in Japanese was, &quot;Seisatsu Yodatsu No Ken Wo Tanin Ni Nigiraseruna! (生殺与奪の権を他人に握らせるな）&quot;
Thank you for your help in advance!
You heard correctly, the line is &quot;Don't grovel like that and give your enemies the chance to kill you!&quot;. Grovel meaning &quot;to lie or creep with the body prostrate in token of subservience or abasement&quot; which refers to Tanjiro kowtowing in front of Giyu, pitifully begging him not to kill his sister. Its an interesting translation, the subtitle of the line in the sub (&quot;Don't ever give others a chance to murder you&quot;) is a decently direct translation of the spoken line (&quot;生殺与奪の権を他人に握らせるな&quot;) and makes no mention of Tanjiro's posture.
