Hantengu

Interesting facts Muzan thinks Hantengu is normal. He sometimes irritates Muzan, but overall he is tolerable. As a human, Hantengu lied a lot about his name, to the point that he forgot his real name. He had several wives and children, but he killed them all, thinking that they were too cruel to him. Hantengu and Mukago are the only ones of the Twelve Kizuki with horns, and also hold equal ranks within their ranks. Perhaps Hantengu was a kleptomaniac.

Zohakuten (憎ぞう珀はく天てん, Hatred?) Hantengu's most powerful emotion clone, formed when Sekido absorbs Karaku, Aizetsu, and Urogi. This clone can conjure wooden dragons to attack his opponents, beating five drums attached to his back to control the dragons. The Dragon Heads are capable of breathing out the attacks and powers of other absorbed clones, as seen when the heads inhale Sekido's lightning and thunder, emit Urogi's Sonic Cries, generate powerful wind attacks that leave behind giant maple leaf craters like Karaku, and breathe out spear-like thrusts like Aizetsu. Zohakuten has also demonstrated the ability to use his unique Blood Demon Technique. Avichi's Karmic Tree (Muken Gōju): Zōhakuten directs his dragon-like trees towards the enemy, causing them to rapidly grow and multiply as they rush towards his opponent. Lightning Killer Strike (Kyōmei Rai Satsu): An attack used by Zōhakuten's Wood Dragons that exhibits the ability to combine the unique abilities of Urogi and Sekido to create an attack of thunder and sound. Maddening Scream (狂きょう圧あつ鳴めい波は, Kyōatsu Meiha?): Zōhakuten produces wave-like screams like Urogi; which are powerful enough to shatter a person's body; for stronger individuals, like the Pillars, the attack can temporarily stun the opponent, as seen when he attacked the Pillar of Love, Mitsuri Kanroji. Urami (Indignation?) The final emotion clone created by Hantengu as a last line of defense, being essentially a larger and more physically powerful version of his "core", whose main purpose is to be a living armor used to hide Hantengu's true body within his heart.

Karaku (Pleasure/Relaxation?) The second of the emotion clones created by Hantengu. This clone has the ability to create a fan similar to a maple leaf using his own cells. He can use it to create powerful gusts of wind, capable of easily leveling an entire building and nearly wiping out humans and demons respectively to death and leaving behind maple leaf like craters. The downside to this ability is that other people can use it if they can take it. Flesh Fans: When Karaku's arm was torn off and separated from him by Nezuko and then was struck by his own technique, Karaku showed that he could easily grow and create new fans from his flesh, similar to Sekido.

Aizetsu (哀あい絶ぜつ, Sadness?) The third emotion clone created by Hantengu. This clone has the ability to forge a long spear called Yari from his cells, which can then expand and contract according to Aizetsu's will. He uses this ability in close combat, extending the spear's reach as it strikes, allowing him to easily kill his opponents in both long-range and close-range combat. *Flesh Spear: Like Sekido's staff and Karaku's fans, Aizetsu's spear is also likely made from his own flesh and bone, thus explaining his ability to grow and shrink at will. Urogi (空うろ喜ぎ, Happiness?) The fourth emotion clone created by Hantengu. It takes the form of a joyful demon with wings and bird-like claws, capable of emitting sonic screams from its mouth as a primary attack, and uses its claws and talons as secondary weapons. It has also been stated that Urogi's claws are sharp enough to cut through diamond. Flesh Parts: This clone is also capable of creating multiple miniature clones of himself from severed body parts. The clones are also capable of firing sound waves, however, they only have less than one-tenth of their original strength, allowing even the weakest Demon Hunter to easily ignore the attacks.

Demonic abilities Split Personality: Hantengu can split into multiple younger forms, each with their own distinct emotion and abilities. They are distinguished from each other by their clothing and a kanji tattoo representing their primary emotion. Demon Form Description & Attacks Hantengu profile Hantengu (半はん天てん狗ぐ, Hantengu?) The main form of Upper Moon Four, which is a smaller version of the original body, as well as a body that possesses the "core" of Hantengu. This body has incredible physical strength and durability, such that even bullets or Genya's sword cannot penetrate its flesh, despite Genya using his increased demon power to further enhance his attacks. Sekido (積せき怒ど, Anger?) One of the first emotion clones shown by Hantengu, his specialty is his ability to summon powerful lightning and thunder attacks using the Hakhara (錫しゃく杖じょう, Shakujō?) a medium created from his own flesh. The lightning attacks themselves are powerful enough to immobilize demons, as seen with Nezuko, and completely paralyze demon hunters. However, the downside to this ability is that Sekido cannot electrocute something created from his own cells, as seen when he was unable to channel his lightning through Urogi's severed leg. Flesh Staff: When Sekido left his Staff impaled on Nezuko to paralyze her with lightning, Sekido demonstrated the ability to grow a new Staff from his palm using his own flesh and bone, showing that Sekido can create more than one Staff for battle.

Story Little is known about his early life, but from the fragments of his memories, it can be understood that Hantengu, being a human, had mental health problems, committing a large number of murders and not believing that he was guilty of these crimes. He put all the blame on his "hands", saying that they did it and it was not his conscious decision.

However, the local court sentenced him to death, after which Hantengu spent a long time in prison, waiting for his death. However, at one point, Kibutsuji Muzan finds him and offers him his help, turning him into a demon.

After which, Hantengu gets out of prison and decides to kill the very man who sentenced him. The judge's last words were that no matter who Hantengu is, he will still be punished for his actions in the end.

As the personification of Hantengu's joy, Urogi is the most cheerful and frivolous of Hantengu's emotion clones. Like Karaku, he seemed to view the entire battle against the Demon Slayers as nothing more than a game or a source of entertainment, as seen when he happily complemented Tanjiro with his intelligence for correctly guessing that none of the four clones were the "real" body, and continually exclaimed that the entire fight with Tanjiro was amazing.

As the personification of Hantengu's hatred, Zohakuten shared many personality traits with Sekido, as he too was easily angered and was incredibly spiteful and hateful towards his enemies due to him believing them to be "evil" for bullying him as "weak and innocent". Like Sekido, he was also incredibly foul-mouthed, as seen when he constantly insulted his opponents and called Mitsuri a slut, constantly calling her various derogatory names in his thoughts. He also seemed to have a great sense of loyalty towards Muzan, as seen when he told Mitsuri that he only listens to and follows the orders of one person in the entire world. Out of all the emotion clones, he was shown to be the most intelligent and insightful aside from Sekido, as seen when he easily analyzed why Mitsuri survived his powerful attacks and figured out the true source of her power.

As the personification of Hantengu's grudge, Urami was shown to be just as hypocritical and delusional as Zohakuten and Hantengu, as he angrily told Tanjiro not to bully or harm his "weak and innocent" self. He angrily asked why Tanjiro could not "see" his innocence, and true to his name, he was shown to be the personification of Hantengu's grudge for being punished and persecuted for crimes he was "innocent" of.

As the personification of Hantengu's laid-back nature, Karaku has been shown to be the most laid-back and laid-back of Hantengu's emotion clones. The entire time he fought against Genya, Tanjiro, and Nezuko, he constantly praised them and rather than taking the battle seriously, instead seeing it as nothing more than a game, only seeming to show interest in the new experiences he gained from the battle. This could be seen when he happily expressed his interest in the new sensations after Genya shot him and said it was the first time he had been injured like that. This was demonstrated again, only this time during his battle with Nezuko, when instead of finishing her off, he chose to tease her and play around with her despite being able to easily defeat her anytime. This behavior easily got on the nerves of his fellow clones, especially Sekido, who constantly scolded him for taking so long to fight.

As the personification of Hantengu's sadness, Aizetsu is portrayed as being completely dejected, moody, and negative, as he constantly described everything as depressing. Out of all the emotion clones, Aizetsu is shown to be the calmest and most collected of the five, as seen when instead of frivolously wasting time on "entertainment" like Urogi and Karaku or immediately getting flustered and angry at something like Sekido, Aizetsu calmly analyzes his opponents, thinks through his strategy, and figures out his opponents' strengths and weaknesses before attacking.

Hantengu's base form is cowardly. He is easily frightened by things around him, displaying traits of paranoia, fear, and delusion. He is always shown screaming in fear over even the most insignificant things. This is especially evident in the fact that he always prefers to crawl rather than walk straight. Even in combat, Hantengu is extremely cowardly and fearful, crying when Muichiro Tokito injured him and when he hid from the Demon Slayers.

Hantengu also seems to believe himself to be completely innocent, despite the obvious evidence pointing to his many crimes as a human. Even as a demon who kills and eats many innocent people, he still stubbornly and delusionally believes that he is innocent. As the personification of Hantengu's wrath, Sekido was in a constant state of frustration, irritation, and rage, even towards his fellow clones, as seen when he became easily angered when they failed to live up to his expectations and were defeated by the Demon Slayers. Sekido was also shown to care very little for his fellow clones, as shown when he forcibly absorbed them against their will, even when Aizetsu protested. He was also shown to be the most dominant of the emotion clones and seemed to be the leader, as he was the one giving them orders and taking charge during critical moments when they were fighting the Demon Slayers.[1]

Urami (恨うらみ, Urami?, lit. Resentment) is identical in appearance to Hantengu, except that he is much larger in size, towering over Tanjiro and Genya, and instead of "fear", Urami has the kanji for "resentment" engraved on his tongue.

Appearances Hantengu appears as a short, frail man with a very thin and bony frame covered in veins and wrinkles, and is usually seen hunched over.

His face is thin with a pointed chin and constantly expresses terror and fear, with a prominent brow ridge that lacks eyebrows. His eyes are narrow and often appear squinted, with no visible pupils.
