Doma

Immense Durability: As an Upper Rank demon who has assimilated a huge amount of Muzan's blood, Doma has an exceptionally durable body. Being of a higher rank, Doma boasts greater durability than Gyokko, who in his true form had scales tougher than diamonds, as well as Hantengu, whose skin is hard enough to resist the blasts of a shotgun and break Nichirin swords, and even Akaza, who had such durability that even a Hashira such as Kyojuro Rengoku struggled to cut him. This is shown when Kanao had difficulty slicing Doma's neck even when his body was falling apart due to the extreme dosage of poison he received.[34] Kanao only succeeded in decapitating the Upper Rank when Inosuke used his swords to push her blade through Doma's neck, and even then, his body was already decomposing due to the severe poisoning he endured from Shinobu. Immense Speed & Reflexes: Doma possesses inhuman movement speed and reflexes, being able to move so fast he appears to teleport. Being of a higher rank, he is faster than Akaza, who was able to keep up with a Marked Giyu, and Gyutaro who was able to keep up with and overpower Tengen, the fastest runner among the Taisho era Hashira. He first displayed his immense speed during the Upper Rank meeting, where he appeared to teleport to Gyokko,[35][31] which caught him off guard. Later, when Akaza appeared behind him and destroyed his head, Doma claimed that he could've easily evaded it if he wanted to, but didn't do so on purpose as he wanted to get along with him.

His imperceptible speed was further testified when he sliced a woman to pieces after Shinobu, the fastest Hashira Doma has met, brought her away from his attack range, even taking the Insect Hashira a moment to register the attack.[36] Moreover, Doma was shown to be able to keep up with Shinobu's own tremendous speed for the majority of the fight. More impressively, Doma was able to deliver a deep cut to Shinobu before she could even react.

Biological Absorption: Doma briefly displayed the ability to absorb human bodies through physical contact, shown when he completely broke down and assimilated Shinobu's body within only a few seconds of killing her.[29] He mostly uses this ability as a faster alternative of consuming humans during battle.

Flesh Manipulation: Like all demons, Doma is able to manipulate his flesh at will. As with the rest of the Upper Ranks who wield weapons, Doma likely utilizes this ability to form the two Japanese war fans he used in battle.

Immense Regeneration: As an Upper Rank demon, Doma possesses one of the most advanced and powerful regenerative healing factors in existence. When Akaza punched off both his lower jaw and the upper portion of his head, he instantly healed with ease, even considering the fatal attack to be a friendly gesture.[30][31] Doma also took mere seconds to recover from Shinobu's onslaught of fatal Wisteria poison attacks and from a deep slash in his abdomen which caused his guts to spill out. Even when Doma absorbed Shinobu's body and ingested over 37 kilograms worth of poison, approximately 700 times[32] more than the lethal amount needed to kill an average demon, it still took a considerable amount of time before it began to have any adverse effect on him.

Reactive Adaptation: During his battle against Shinobu, he is able to break down and render all of the various poison mixtures Shinobu injected into him useless, immediately developing antibodies to her poison without much trouble.[33] Shinobu herself was shocked at how fast Doma built a resistance to her normally fatal poison.

Keen Intellect: Doma is exceptionally intelligent, which he displayed on multiple occasions. While in a fast-paced brawl with Kanao, he was able to process and deduce her abilities, surmising that it was her superhuman eyesight that allowed her to parry and dodge his ice attacks and immediately develop a strategy to counter it.[27] In another instance, when he left Kanao and Inosuke to fight his ice clones, he construed that Inosuke had an acute sense of touch just by observing his behavior when near his ice techniques.[28]

It is also implied that Doma was able to trick and deceive all of his followers, allowing him to kill and eat them. He was able to keep this up for over a century with almost complete infallibility. Doma also possesses incredible memory, being able to remember even the most insignificant details from back when he was a human.

As the holder of the second highest ranking position of the Twelve Kizuki, and the third most powerful of his kind to have ever existed, Doma is an exceptionally powerful demon. His combination of combative prowess and his potent cryokinetic Blood Demon Art in battle is powerful enough to overwhelm and defeat the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, without any difficulty,[22][23] and he is also noted to have defeated Kanae Kocho, the late Flower Hashira, in the past.[24] Afterwards, Doma could take on both Inosuke Hashibira and Kanao Tsuyuri, whose strength and abilities were on par with the Hashira, simultaneously without much effort either.

According to Doma, Akaza, who holds the rank of Upper Three, would have no chance in defeating him in battle, to the point where even he wouldn't dare challenge Doma to a battle, despite the Upper Rank's immense outward hatred toward him.[25] Moreover, Doma was able to surpass Akaza in a shorter period of time, showcasing the immense power gap between the two demons. As further credence to Doma's immense power, he rarely fights seriously and instead adopts a casual and carefree attitude even in life-and-death situations against the most powerful Demon Slayers, only ever becoming serious when his life is in serious danger, such as when the deadly effects of Shinobu's poisons became apparent.

Doma is outwardly friendly and cheery, possessing an approachable and charismatic air. Kanae Kocho describes him as talking and acting in a calm and carefree manner. However, in truth, he has psychopathic tendencies and adopts sick beliefs and habits, such as devouring his cult's followers with the belief he is saving them from their suffering and pain by letting them live inside his body.

Because of his carefree and waggish persona, he was prone to facetious and inappropriate behavior. Even amongst his fellow demons, he was disliked by Muzan Kibutsuji and Akaza for his casual and childish behavior, and indifference to the strict hierarchy that showed complete and total obedience towards the Demon King, demonstrated by him speaking in the same merry cadence during Muzan's rants. Even Gyokko, a demon with an amicable relationship with Doma due both sharing morbid tendencies, was perturbed when the Upper Rank attempted to accompany him and Hantengu to the Swordsmith Village without Muzan's explicit permission.

As for the humans that he had personally wronged or traumatized, Doma continually did not treat their feelings with any respect, such as telling Shinobu Kocho that he was disappointed at being unable to eat Kanae, chiding Kanao Tsuyuri for "rudely" interrupting him while he was absorbing Shinobu, and continuously mocking Kotoha's life in front of her son, Inosuke. This in turn caused Doma to draw in intense amounts of vitriolic hatred towards him. However, it's hinted that Doma's taunts and jeers are deliberately meant to provoke his opponents into blindly attacking him and getting in range of his deadly Blood Demon Art. His aforementioned comment to Kanao was revealed to have been bait that Doma was surprised didn't work, before concluding that Shinobu had warned her of his abilities.

On occasion, Doma may also have been seen sporting a blackish-lavender cloak, which he drapes around his shoulders, two lengths of purple and black cloth with a rectangular pattern also hanging from it around his neck, as well as a black crown which is lined with gold around its frontal plates and has flowing black ribbons dangling from each of its sides. He is also usually seen holding a pair of sharp fans that were made entirely out of shining gold, a lotus design engraved across them and a green tassel at the base, which acted as his primary weapons.

Doma is a tall young man with a lean, muscular build. He is of extremely pale complexion and possesses long, pointed nails that appeared to be stained with a pale purple. He possesses long platinum blond hair that he wore parted to his right, the shorter parts around his face seeming to flare out to either side around his head, curving backwards with one lock slanting down to the right of his face to fall between his eyes, while the longer parts were left to drape centrally down his back in a thinning spiral. Due to his beauty, he was made a cult leader and seen as a divine being due to such.

His eyes have been described to be incredibly rare and beautiful,[12] as, in color, they appeared to be made up of an array of rainbow pastel tones that fade into one another as they circle his irises, this unusual appearance even causing people to believe Doma is a blessed being who could communicate with the gods. The kanji for Upper Rank (上じょう弦げん, Jōgen?) is etched across his left eye, and the daiji for Two (弐に, Ni?) or Six (陸ろく, Roku?) at the time when he first met Gyutaro and Daki[13] on his right, with thick eyelashes and a set of notably thick black eyebrows acting to frame them above.

Doma wore a blood-red turtleneck of a design that made it appear that the section between his neck and upper chest is covered by a black substance that looks like it's dripping slightly down his body, this same design repeated at his wrists and down his hands, as well as on the small, circular "blood stain"[14] he adorned on top of his head. Below this, he wore a pair of straight, tan-colored hakama pants of a pinstriped design, their cuffs visibly loose, which he secured with a pale green-tinged golden belt (originally colored black, and colored white in the anime), its buckle a bright silver. He also only wears plain black tabi socks on his feet.

Doma (童どう磨ま, Dōma?) is a major supporting antagonist of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is a demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, holding the second highest position, Upper Rank Two (上じょう弦げんの弐に, Jōgen no Ni?).[3]

Over a century ago, Doma held the position of Upper Rank Six (上じょう弦げんの陸ろく, Jōgen no Roku?),[4] and during that tenure, he turned Gyutaro and Ume into demons and introduced them into the Twelve Kizuki.[5][6]

He is also the leader of the Eternal Paradise Faith,[7] a cult dedicated to worshipping Doma and a place where he listens to all his followers' troubles and gives them advice.[8] He had held this position since he was a human child. It also acts as a place for Doma to gather and kill his victims.[9] This cult also took in Inosuke Hashibira's mother, Kotoha Hashibira,[10] before Doma killed her after she found out that he was eating his followers.[11]
