blade that cuts through demons

Muzan was originally a terminally ill aristocrat from the Heian period. Trying to avoid an early death, he underwent an experimental treatment, becoming the first demon. Since then, he has been forced to hide, feasting on human flesh and searching for a way to overcome his only weakness—sunlight. Muzan is a master of disguise, able to alter his appearance to blend in among humans. He has three primary forms: Young Man: The most common form is that of an extravagant aristocrat with wavy black hair, red eyes, and a white hat with a red ribbon. Woman: A form in a beautiful yukata with a floral pattern, a voluminous topknot, and makeup. Boy: An orphan form used to blend in with the crowd. In his true, combat form, his body is covered in white, cocoon-like flesh, and his limbs are surrounded by a multitude of toothy mouths. Paranoid Coward: Despite his incredible power, Muzan is terrified of death and demon hunters. In the final battle, he displays selfishness and a willingness to sacrifice anyone for survival. A ruthless egocentric, he views people as livestock and food, and his subordinates as mere expendables. He punishes any disagreement or failure with death. Determination: He is ready to destroy anyone who stands in his way to find the Blue Spider Lily, the final key to immunity to the sun. As the progenitor of all demons, Muzan possesses a colossal arsenal of powers. Blood Manipulation: He can create new demons, strengthen them, and instantly kill or injure anyone who speaks his name (Kibutsuji's Curse) or disobeys his orders. Absorption and Transformation: He can absorb enemies and their abilities, as well as instantly regrow new limbs or change their body structure. Cellular Destruction: He can infect opponents with demonic blood, which destroys their cells (which is only prevented by Tamayo's medicine). Superhuman Stats: Overwhelming physical strength, speed, and advanced senses allow him to fight for long periods of time.

Human: A young man with black hair and turquoise eyes. He wore the traditional Demon Slayer uniform, over which he wore a black kimono with a blue sash. Like his mentor, Jigoro, he wore a necklace of magatama beads. Demon: After transforming, his skin became pale, fangs appeared, and black marks resembling flames appeared on his face. The kanji for his rank appeared in both eyes. Kaigaku was an incredibly vain, arrogant, and selfish man. He suffered from an inferiority complex, a pathological fear of weakness, and envy of more talented people. Betrayal: As a proud hunter, he clashed with Upper Moon One, Kokushibo. Facing absolute death, Kaigaku betrayed humanity and agreed to become a demon to save his own life and gain even greater power. Relationship with his teacher: He hated his mentor, Jigoro, for trying to make him and Zenitsu equal, and gloated when his teacher committed seppuku. Kaigaku was a master of Thunder Breath, but with one important caveat: he could not use the first, most basic style (Thunder and Lightning), compensating for this with techniques 2 through 6. Blood Technique: After becoming a demon, he combined his katana skills with demon blood. This allowed him to create black "electrical" fire that sears the flesh of his enemies and cuts them at the cellular level. His attacks are so powerful that any hunter who doesn't use constant concentration loses the ability to breathe.

Appearance: In his human past and as a demon, Gyutaro was extremely ugly, covered in black birthmarks and scars, with an emaciated body, yellow eyes, and green irises. He suffered from poverty and parasites, earning him a reputation as a monster from an early age. Personality: Cruel, envious, and extremely sarcastic. Despite his frightening nature, he loves his younger sister, Daki (Ume), immensely and is willing to make any sacrifice for her safety, deeply grieving that she had to endure the harsh fate of a human. Gyutaro poses a huge threat to Slayers due to his unique fighting style: Blood Utilization: He manipulates his own poisonous blood, forming incredibly sharp sickles that can attack from a distance and cut through flesh. Poison Attacks: His blood contains a deadly poison that kills a person in minutes. Symbiosis: Gyutaro can hide inside his sister's body, acting as her "brain" and significantly increasing her combat potential. To completely kill this pair, Slayers must decapitate both demons simultaneously.

Creature: A Demon who shares the status of Upper Moon Six with her older brother, Gyutaro. Abilities: Possesses incredible strength, and in combat, uses her living hair, transformed into sharp ribbons. Personality: Characterized by her high self-esteem, cruelty, and sadism, yet deeply attached to her brother. Living Sashes (Obi): Daki is able to manipulate her long cloth sashes as extensions of her body. They possess incredible durability, razor-sharp edges, and can stretch over vast distances. Flesh Vault: Daki hides people and her belts within a pocket dimension within her own body (her belts), allowing her to stealthily kidnap victims and launch surprise attacks. Superhuman Stats: Possesses colossal physical strength, speed, and destructive potential. Immortality and Regeneration: Like a demon, she is resistant to conventional weapons, and can quickly regenerate lost limbs and heal wounds. Flexibility and Shapeshifting: She can flatten or stretch her body to fit into tight spaces, as well as change her appearance and age (appearing like an adult courtesan, although the demon's true age is younger). Older Brother Control: Daki and her older brother, Gyutaro, share the same rank. They share feelings, emotions, and intelligence. Implantation: Gyutaro can hide inside Daki's body and also project his eye into her forehead. This greatly enhances her reflexes, speed, and combat potential. Absolute Defense: While her brother is within her or while their cores are connected, Daki cannot be killed by normal decapitation—her head instantly regenerates. Slayers must decapitate both demons simultaneously. Hair Color: She initially has long, lustrous black hair, which, upon activating her full demonic power and absorbing her obi, turns a dull white with bright lime-green tips. Eyes: Piercing, blood-red. Clothing: Being a demon disguised as a famous geisha (Oiran Warabihime)

Base Form: It has a pale, white-greenish body. One of its main visual characteristics is the lack of traditional eyes and a mouth on a human face: its "eyes" are located where the forehead would normally be (one closed, the other facing to the side), and instead of eyes, its face is occupied by a mouth. The mouth is positioned even lower, resembling the open mouth of a fish. Numerous small, childlike arms extend from the demon's back, constantly wriggling. Pot Bonding: Gyokko is constantly carrying his porcelain pot, from which he usually protrudes up to his waist, using it as a portal and part of his anatomy. True Form (Shedding): During his battle with Muichiro Tokito, the demon sheds his old shell. His true body takes on the appearance of a humanoid fish. His skin takes on a poisonous green hue and becomes covered in tough scales. Gyokko is a pronounced narcissist and egocentric. He considers himself a genius artist, and his attacks and bloody rituals are the greatest works of art. Sadism: One of his most famous "works" is the statue "Death Throes," created from the bodies and tools of five village blacksmiths he tortured. Temper: Despite his refined manner of speech, he is extremely unstable. Any criticism of his "art" or damage to his precious jars sends Gyokko into fits of rage that cloud his judgment. As a member of the Upper Moons, Gyokko possesses monstrous strength. Jug Manipulation: The demon can teleport between his jars over any distance, hide within them, and summon various aquatic creatures from them (such as deadly aquatic fish that corrode flesh). Water and Poison Manipulation: Gyokko can create water prisons and summon ink sprays that transform into poisonous fish that paralyze victims upon contact. Diamond Scales: In his true form, his body is covered in scales that are stronger than diamond. Incredible Regeneration: Able to quickly heal wounds from Nichirin blades and instantly regenerate his head.

True Form: In his base form, he is a vain, hunched old man with a very thin, wrinkled body. A large bump and two horns protrude from his head. Face: Expresses extreme fear, with the kanji for "fear" tattooed on his tongue. He has long hair and pointed ears. Clones: By separating his emotions, his bodies transform into younger, more physically fit demons. Hantengu's main power lies in his Blood Demon Technique, which activates in times of danger. Emotional Splitting: The demon disintegrates into separate entities, each embodying a specific emotion and possessing a unique elemental-magical attack. Sekido (Wrath): Manipulates electricity and strikes opponents with powerful lightning bolts using his staff. Karaku (Joy): Uses a magical fan that creates destructive gusts of hurricane-force wind. Aizetsu (Sorrow): Attacks from a distance with a spear, creating powerful shockwaves. Urogi (Rapture): Possesses bird-like wings, claws, and is capable of creating sound waves. Zokahuten (Hatred): The highest and most powerful form, created by fusing four previous clones. It controls wood dragons and possesses immense physical strength. Urami Manifestation (Resentment): A clone that protects Hantengu's original, tiny body. It can increase in size and deliver devastating blows.

Nakime is a silent and emotionless woman with pale skin. Her face is almost always hidden by long, straight hair, revealing only her empty, pupil-less eyes. She wears a classic women's kimono and always holds a traditional Japanese musical instrument, the biwa. Her character is characterized by complete composure and absolute devotion. Nakime's main power is the Blood Demon Technique, which is associated with space and sound. Spatial Manipulation: By skillfully playing the biwa, she is able to alter the architecture of the Infinite Castle. The sound of the strings allows her to move walls, create passages, and instantly teleport other demons or fighters to any point in the dimension. Enemy Manipulation: During large-scale battles, she can disorient Hunters by constantly switching rooms. Searching Techniques: After receiving more blood from Muzan after Hantengu's death, she developed the ability to create eye copies of herself, capable of spying on people across Japan.

Appearance: A muscular young man standing 173 cm tall with short-cropped hair (bright pink in his demon form) and yellow eyes with glowing pink eyelashes. His body is covered in blue striped tattoos, reminiscent of the handcuffs he wore in life as a street fighter. Personality: A hot-tempered, proud, and impulsive fighter. He is obsessed with perfecting his skills and enjoys battling strong fighters. However, a strong sense of compassion and devotion, inherited from his previous human life, resides within his character. Deployment Technique (Destructive Death): A fighting style based on martial arts and the creation of shockwaves, which are released using a technique resembling a compass with a snowflake beneath its feet. Incredible Strength: In combat, Akaza exclusively uses hand-to-hand combat, capable of moving at superhuman speed and effortlessly countering several Pillar-level Slayers at once. Regeneration: Possesses the immortality of a demon, regenerating severed limbs and fatal wounds in seconds. He is vulnerable only to sunlight and Nichirin blades, which can decapitate him. Before becoming a demon, his name was Hakuji. He endured a difficult life, stealing money to buy medicine for his ailing father, who ultimately committed suicide. Hakuji was later taken in by the martial artist Kenzo, whose daughter, Koyuki, he saved and with whom he subsequently fell in love. Hakuji was preparing to become the head of the dojo, but a rival school poisoned the well, killing Kenzo and Koyuki. In a fit of rage, Hakuji killed 67 people from the enemy dojo with his bare hands, after which he was transformed into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji, losing most of his human memories.

Poison Mist: He can create a freezing mist and poisonous ice spores. Because Doma constantly fed on humans who had consumed wisteria poison for years, his ice attacks are deadly to fighters, as inhaling the smoke causes their lungs to collapse. In his human life, Doma had unusual eyes, leading his strange parents to believe him to be a prophet and a child capable of communicating with spirits. His father created a religious cult around him. Throughout his youth, Doma was forced to listen to the fictitious complaints and problems of his followers, genuinely unable to understand why people react so emotionally to life's hardships. When he witnessed his mother murder his father in a fit of jealousy and then commit suicide, Doma remained completely indifferent to the tragedy, merely airing out the room to clear the smell of blood. Soon after, he met Muzan Kibutsuji, who transformed him into a demon.

Doma is a tall, powerfully built man (185 cm) with a unique and distinctive appearance. His most distinctive feature is his long, platinum-blond hair, which fades to a pale green at the ends and appears to be coated in blood. He has a rare iridescent eye color—his irises shimmer with a multitude of shades, and his rank is engraved in the pupils. He wears an open turtleneck with a black and red gradient, over which he wears a long, maroon cape with fur trim and black, loose trousers. He often wears a strange crown-like hat or headdress on his head, which is covered in drops of blood and resembles torn fabric. Doma's personality makes him one of the most terrifying and charismatic villains in the franchise. Throughout his long life (he became a demon at a young age and lived for over 200 years), Doma has been completely devoid of any emotion. He is incapable of feeling joy, sadness, fear, or anger. However, he is acutely aware of the emotions others expect from him, so he skillfully feigns a cheerful, caring, and friendly demeanor. He interacts with everyone, including his enemies, politely and gently, smiling frequently. A pragmatic psychopath, Doma believes that humans are doomed to suffer, so he sincerely views devouring his followers (especially women) as an act of "salvation." He believes that those he consumes thus remain within him forever, finding an "eternal paradise" within his body. Doma is an incredibly powerful demon, second only to Upper Rank One, Kokushibo. Thanks to his copious consumption of human flesh, his physical attributes, such as speed, strength, and reflexes, surpass human limits. Ice Fans: Doma is a master of wielding a pair of sharpened Japanese fans (sensu), which he uses both in close combat and to channel his attacks.

As a demon, Kokushibo is a tall, muscular man with tanned skin and long black hair with red tips, tied back in a ponytail. Eyes: His most striking feature is his six eyes, each with yellow irises and red sclera. The middle eyes are engraved with the kanji for "Highest Rank" and "One." Markings: His body bears the markings of a demon slayer, resembling flames. Clothing: He wears a traditional purple and black kimono with a lunar swirl pattern, and in combat, he wields a sword grown from his own flesh and blood. Unlike other Upper Moons, Kokushibo has a calm and disciplined personality. He exhibits a samurai code of honor, respects strong opponents, and always addresses his enemies politely. However, beneath this mask lies a deep envy of his brother, Yoriichi, which led him to the path of the demon hundreds of years ago. Kokushibo is considered the second most powerful demon in the universe after Muzan himself, easily defeating Pillar-level fighters. Moon Breath (Kokyu no Kokyu): A unique and devastating swordsmanship style he invented himself. Each swing of his blade generates chaotic crescent-shaped blades that change size and length, increasing their range. Transparent World: Thanks to his six eyes, he sees through his opponents (muscles, bones, bloodstream), allowing him to anticipate any attack and conceal his intentions. Regeneration and Physiology: He possesses immortality and incredible speed. He can regenerate severed body parts in a split second and adapt to opponents' techniques in real time.

Bloodline Curse: The Ubuyashiki family is cursed due to the birth of the first demon, Muzan Kibutsuji, thousands of years ago. Due to this karma, all males in the family are born with fragile health and die young. Appearance and Illness: Due to a hereditary affliction, Kagaya's body is slowly deteriorating. His face is covered in a pattern reminiscent of a demonic mark, and his eyes are completely blind. However, his voice has a calming effect. Strategic Genius: Despite being bedridden by illness, Kagaya brilliantly leads the Corps. He possesses remarkable intuition and strategic thinking, predicting the movements of demons. Family: He is married to Amane Ubuyashiki, and they have five children: Kiriya, Hinaki, Nichiki, Kuina, and Kanata. Role in the plot: It is Kagaya who recruits Tanjiro Kamado into the squad after he takes responsibility for his demon sister, Nezuko. His voice and unwavering faith in humanity unite all the pillars.

Mitsuri is a 19-year-old girl with a very unusual genetic makeup that makes her stand out from the rest: Hair and Eyes: Her long hair gradually transitions from pink to green, and her face is dominated by large, expressive pistachio-colored eyes with long eyelashes and beauty marks beneath them. Uniform: She wears a modified Demon Slayer uniform: a short skirt instead of pants and a jacket unbuttoned at the chest, over which she wears a white haori. Her striped thigh-high socks were a gift from Obanaya Iguro. She is outgoing, emotional, and constantly compliments others in her thoughts. Mitsuri always sincerely tries to help people and her friends, for which she is greatly loved and appreciated by her comrades. She joined the Slayers not only to save people, but also in hopes of finding a man stronger than her, as the prospect of marrying a weaker man in normal society terrified her. Superhuman Strength: Her muscle density is eight times that of a normal human. To maintain this strength, she consumes an incredible amount of food (her diet exceeds the portions of three sumo wrestlers combined). Flexibility and Dexterity: Her joints have phenomenal mobility, allowing her to dodge attacks that would be considered fatal and strike at impossible angles. Breath of Love: A technique created by Mitsuri herself, based on the Breath of Flame. This style perfectly complements her unique body structure. Blade: Her sword is an incredibly thin, flexible, and long katana (resembling a ribbon) that curves like a whip. It is capable of delivering rapid and wide strikes over an area.

Shinobu is a petite, graceful woman with pale skin and large, violet eyes reminiscent of an insect's compound eyes. She has black hair that fades to purple and is tied back with her signature butterfly-shaped clip. Over her standard fighter uniform, she wears a flowing haori with a butterfly-wing pattern, passed down from her deceased sister, Kanae. Although Shinobu constantly smiles and exudes calm, deep down she harbors a burning hatred for the demons who killed her family. Her smile is a tribute to her sister, who loved her expression, but Shinobu herself wears it with difficulty, hiding her constant inner anger. She also displays extreme concern for her comrades and occasionally plays pranks on other Pillars, such as Giyu Tomioka. Shinobu is the only one of the Nine Pillars who lacks the physical strength to decapitate a demon. To compensate, she compensates for her lack of power with unmatched speed and venom: Wisteria Poison: She developed a deadly poison for demons using wisteria flowers, which she inflicts with her unique, sting-like sword, the Nichirin. Breathing Techniques: Her styles (such as "Butterfly Dance: Caprice" or "Bee Sting Dance: Trembling") focus on delivering lightning-fast piercing strikes and injecting venom into a demon's body. As a child, Shinobu lived with loving parents until their family was attacked by demons. She and her sister, Kanae, were rescued by the Demon Slayers. Vowing to protect others, Shinobu and her sister joined the Corps. They later adopted the orphan Kanao Tsuyuri. After Kanae's tragic death at the hands of an Upper Moon demon (Douma), Shinobu became a Pillar and dedicated her life to studying pharmacology, creating poisons, and avenging her sister.

Muichiro Tokito is a 14-year-old genius swordsman who holds the highest rank of Mist Pillar. He is distinguished by incredible speed, phenomenal natural talent, and a deadly fighting style. Muichiro has long, straight hair that fades from black to pale turquoise, and empty, mint-green eyes. He wears a loose, dark, kimono-like Demon Slayer uniform. Initially, he appears absent-minded, cold, and emotionless, a man with his head in the clouds and a life of logic. However, after regaining his childhood memories, his personality changes: he becomes more open, values ​​his friends, and develops a sincere determination to protect humanity. Sword Genius: Muichiro is one of the most gifted Slayers in history. He achieved the rank of Pillar after only two months of training. Mist Breathing: He masterfully wields this style, which relies on confusing the enemy, disorienting them, and delivering swift, unpredictable strikes. An unrivaled swordsman, he single-handedly created the deadly Seventh Form Breathing. Physical Enhancements: During a battle with greater demons, he awakens the Demon Slayer's Mark, gains the ability to see the Transparent World, and heats his blade red-hot with rage and willpower. Muichiro was born into a family of woodcutters and grew up with his twin brother, Yuichiro. They were orphans and led a quiet life until, at the age of 10, a demon attacked their home. During the brutal battle, Yuichiro was mortally wounded, and Muichiro, enraged, single-handedly slew the demon with his bare hands. After the severe injury and loss of his brother, he suppressed all emotion to become a ruthless weapon against demons.

Obanai is a young man of short stature with heterochromia (his right eye is yellow and his left is turquoise). As a child, the lower half of his face was brutally disfigured: his mouth was slit from ear to ear by a demon's command. To hide the scars, he constantly wears a bandage over his face. He wears the standard dark blue fighter uniform, over which he wears a striped black and white haori. His legs are wrapped in bandages, and his faithful white snake, Kaburamaru, always perches on his shoulders. Obanai has a complex, secretive, and sometimes sarcastic personality. He is extremely distrustful of others and strictly loyal to the organization's charter. However, behind this stern mask lies a deep sense of justice and a sincere, selfless love for Mitsuri Kanroji, for whom he is willing to give his life. Iguro is a brilliant swordsman. His primary combat stats include: Snake Breath: A unique style that is an offshoot of the Breath of Water. It allows him to attack at incredible angles, like the curves of a snake's body. Weapon (Chris): He wields a serrated katana that resembles a wavy dagger, making the trajectory of his attacks unpredictable. Combat Enhancements: During the Infinity Castle Arc, he awakens the Crimson Blade (which blocks demon regeneration), the Slayer's Mark (in the form of a snake), and the ability World of Transparency. Obanai was born into a family that grew rich through thievery and worship of a snake demon, feeding it infants to be eaten. Obanai himself spent 12 years locked in a cage until the demon ordered the boy's mouth to be slit open to resemble him. He later escaped and vowed to exterminate demons. In the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, he displayed incredible strength and dedication, but succumbed to his mortal wounds after his victory, dying in Mitsuri's arms.

Giyu Tomioka is the honorary Water Pillar of the Exterminator Corps. He is the first hunter the main characters encounter, sparing the demon Nezuko and sending Tanjiro to Urokodaki. Appearance: A tall young man with long black hair, which he wears in a low ponytail throughout the story, and deep, dark blue eyes. At the end of the story, due to severe injuries, he cuts his hair short. Distinctive Attire: He wears the standard black hunter uniform, over which he wears a unique haori consisting of two distinct halves. The red haori symbolizes the memory of his deceased sister, and the geometric green, orange, and yellow haori symbolizes the memory of his friend. Giyu is calm, stoic, and reticent. Due to the trauma of his past, he considers himself unworthy of the title of Pillar, believing that others are more deserving. He may appear aloof and arrogant, but in reality, he is deeply loyal to his comrades, honors duty, and is willing to lay down his life for others without hesitation. As a Pillar, Giyu possesses mastery of the Breath of Water: He has 10 standard kata, adapted to various types of attacks. 11th Kata: A unique technique created by Giyu himself. The "Calm" technique allows him to completely block any attacks and demonic magic within the reach of his blade. As a child, he lost his family while protecting his older sister from a demon attack. While preparing for selection for the Hunter Corps, he befriended Sabito, who saved him from death during the final test but died himself. This event left a deep imprint on Tomioka, causing him to doubt his own abilities. Throughout the battle against the Demon King Muzan, Kibutsuji fought on the front lines, losing his right arm, but survived and continued his life in peacetime.

Rengoku Kyojuro. He held the highest rank of Flame Pillar in the Slayer Organization, distinguished by incredible strength, unwavering optimism, and a willingness to protect the weak at the cost of his own life.

Hair: Bright yellow strands that smoothly transition to a rich red color (resembling tongues of flame). Clothing: Wears the standard brown Demon Slayer uniform, over which he wears a haori with a pattern of flames. Kyojuro was known for his eccentric, loud, and cheerful personality.

He had a strong sense of duty, instilled in him by his father, and a firm moral code: the duty of the strong is to protect those who are weaker. For the protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, he became not only a trusted mentor, but also a person who left a deep mark on his heart with his Wisdom. Physical Prowess: He possessed incredible speed, phenomenal muscle control, and a will of steel. His skill was so great that he could single-handedly hold his own against Upper Rank 3 Akaza, dealing deadly blows even with severe wounds. Kyojuro was one of the strongest swordsmen among all the Pillars. Self-taught (his father taught him the basic techniques until he abandoned training), he honed his fighting skills to perfection. Flame Breathing: A swordsmanship style passed down in his family for generations. He utilized nine destructive forms of this breath.

Uzui Tengen is one of the Demon Slayers' most powerful swordsmen, the former Sound Pillar. He is a former shinobi (ninja) who combines incredible physical strength with superhuman senses, theatricality, and a unique fighting style. Uzui is a tall and muscular young man with an attractive appearance, which he conceals under makeup and headgear. He wears a gray bandana and a silver headband adorned with jewels. He has a strange red tattoo over his left eye. He wears a cropped sleeveless jacket over his slayer uniform with a white belt, and he wears bandages and sandals.

They deliver powerful slashing blows and are excellent for destroying demons.

Sanemi Shinazugawa is the Wind Pillar. The 21-year-old fighter possesses a fiery temper, a scarred body, and a unique, rare blood (Marechi) that intoxicates demons.

Hidden Caring: Beneath his rudeness lies a deep devotion to his friends and family. He is willing to sacrifice himself for his loved ones, though he expresses this rather harshly. Sanemi was born into a large family and was the eldest of three children. As children, they were attacked by a demon, who turned out to be their own mother. While protecting his younger brother, Genya, Sanemi was forced to kill their mother. This deep trauma and guilt formed the basis of his hatred of demons. He long pushed Genya away, trying to protect him from the dangerous world of slayers.

Gyomei Himejima is the strongest Stone Pillar. This 27-year-old Demon Slayer combines blindness and deep religious devotion with incredible physical strength, using the Breath of Stone and a unique chain weapon. Gyomei is the tallest (220 cm) and physically strongest of all the Pillars. He has a muscular build, dark skin, and a large scar running across his forehead. Himejima's eyes are completely white, without pupils or irises, as he was blinded by a childhood fever. He wears a green, long-sleeved cape over his standard slayer uniform and a massive Buddhist rosary around his neck. Due to his deep faith, he often cries at the sight of others' emotions or tragedies, praying for lost souls, but he also possesses an unwavering determination. Before joining the organization, he was a blind monk who sheltered nine orphans in a temple. When a demon infiltrated the temple one night, Gyomei forced the children to stay behind, promising to protect them. However, one of the boys, eager to save himself, broke the rule, let the demon in, and lied that Himejima was responsible. The children were killed, and Gyomei was falsely accused of their deaths and imprisoned. After this incident, he became suspicious of people and lost faith in the innocence of children. Unique Weapon: He uses a massive nitirin axe with a heavy spiked ball (morning star), connected by a strong chain. The force of his blows is so great that it is capable of crushing even greater demons. The weapon is controlled by the sound of the chain moving and the vibrations in space. Stone Breathing: A style that maximizes destructive power and body durability. Enhanced Senses: Because Gyomei is blind, all of his other senses are enhanced to superhuman levels. He is able to “see” the world around him, sensing movement, heat, and even vibrations in the air from enemy attacks.
