kore = this
sore = that
are = that over there
dore = which

kono = this one
sono = that one
ano = that one over there
dono = which one



In the shadows beneath the trees he waits.
In the darkness under the moon he plots
In the silence of the night he kills.

I loathe responding to romaji but I will as I do have problems with those translations. Those Japanese words don't mean those English phrases.

この only means "this" and never mean "this one" and a noun MUST follow it. "This one" is already a noun phrase, isn't it?

No noun follows 〜れ; these are pronouns. A noun follows 〜の; these are adjectives.

Example:
このペンです。It is this pen.
これです。It is this.
