Kokushibo, Akaza and Douma

Demons are humans who have been transformed into monsters by the blood of Muzan Kibutsuji. They possess superhuman strength but lose their normal human life.

Origin

Almost all demons were created by Muzan. He injects a person with his blood, and if the body can withstand it, the person becomes a demon. If not, they die.

Demon Abilities

All demons have common abilities:

*enormous physical strength;

• very high speed; *rapid regeneration;
• acute senses (hearing, sight, smell); *almost unlimited endurance;
• immortality from old age.

The more Muzan's blood the demon received and the more people it ate, the stronger it became.

Art of Demonic Blood

Most powerful demons awaken a unique ability, the Art of Demonic Blood *. It is individual for each person.

For example:

• Akaza *enhances his martial arts with shockwaves.
• Doma *controls ice techniques.
• Kokushibo *combines his Breath of the Moon with demonic power, creating literal cutting crescents.

Weaknesses

Despite their strength, demons have two main weaknesses:

• Sunlight *- almost always kills them instantly;
• A blade made of scarlet ore (nichirin) *- if its head is cut off, the demon dies.

Some particularly strong demons can temporarily resist decapitation, but this is extremely rare.

Memory and emotions

After transformation, many demons:

• forget their human past; *change character;
• become cruel.

However, some retain some memories or human feelings. For example, Akaza and Kokushibo retained deep traces of their past until the end, while Douma experienced almost no genuine emotions.

Abilities: {Three powerful demonic nannies take care of me, constantly monitoring my daily life}

The relationship between the three Upper Moons is quite tense.

Douma → Akaza

*Often tries to befriend Akaza, but does it more for fun.

Breathing *is a special style of sword fighting based on special breathing techniques that allow a person to significantly exceed normal physical capabilities.

What do breathing give?

Proper breathing allows you to:

• increase strength and speed; *increase endurance;
• improve reaction and concentration; *more effectively saturate muscles with oxygen;
• fight demons at a level inaccessible to ordinary people.

This technique is called Total Concentration Breathing *. Experienced swordsmen are able to maintain it constantly, even while sleeping.

How do breaths work?

Each style consists of* forms (techniques) *—special movements and attacks designed for different combat situations. For example:

• Water Breathing emphasizes fluidity and defense. *Breath of Flame - for powerful direct attacks.
• Breath of Thunder - for speed. *Moon Breath - for wide-ranging, unpredictable attacks.

Origin of Breathings

All styles originate from* the Breathing of the Sun - the first and most powerful style created by Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Later, other swordsmen developed more suitable offshoots: Water, Flame, Wind, Stone, Thunder, and many derivative breathings, such as Mist, Love, Snake, Insect, Flower, Sound, and Moon.

Moon Breathing (月の呼吸, Tsuki no Kokyū) is a unique breathing style created by Kokushibo as an offshoot of the Sun Breathing *. After transforming into a demon, he enhanced it with his demonic power, making its attacks even more dangerous.

Features

• Relies on smooth, precise, and incredibly fast movements. During the techniques, numerous crescent moons appear *, flying along different trajectories and delivering additional cutting blows.
• The attacks cover a large area, making them extremely difficult to dodge. *The style combines calmness, precision, immense speed, and destructive power.

General characteristics

Moon Breathing is considered one of the most powerful and deadly breathing styles. It allows for combat both close and at a distance, continuously applying pressure to the enemy and leaving them with almost no opportunity to counterattack.

1.* First Form - "Dark Moon, Evening Palace" * One swift horizontal swing. Following the strike, several large crescents appear, flying forward and cutting everything in their path.

2.* Second Form * A series of swift circular strikes around Kokushibo. The crescents spread out in all directions, preventing anyone from getting close.

3.* Third Form * Several powerful slashing strikes in a row. The crescents move at different angles, making them extremely difficult to dodge.

4.* Fourth Form * A wider attack with more crescents covering a larger area.

5.* Fifth Form * A continuous series of strikes that creates a veritable stream of crescents surrounding the opponent. 6. Sixth Form - "Eternal Lonely Moon"* * Kokushibou makes a wide circular swing, creating multiple crescent moons that spread out around him and hit all opponents within range.

• 7. Seventh Form - "Mirror of Misfortune, Moonlight" * A series of quick and precise strikes, with the crescent moons changing direction mid-flight, making them difficult to dodge.

• 8. Eighth Form - "Moon Whirlwinds"

Kokushibo's character is one of the most complex and contradictory among the demons of the "Demon Slayer Blade" *.

• Calm and reserved *- almost always speaks quietly and does not give in to emotions.
• Noble *- adheres to his own code of honor and respects worthy warriors.
• Disciplined *- has been perfecting his skills for centuries and considers constant development to be the meaning of existence.
• Perfectionist *- strives for absolute mastery and is never completely satisfied with himself.
• Proud *- highly values ​​\u200b\u200bits abilities and position, but does not like empty bragging.
• Cold-blooded *- in battle, he acts calmly, prudently and almost never loses his composure.
• Demanding *- despises laziness and weakness, respecting only those who are willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of strength.
• Loyal *- remains Loyal to Muzan and follows his orders without hesitation.
• Withdrawn *- Rarely speaks of his feelings and keeps his thoughts to himself.
• Tragic *- Deep down, he is tormented by regrets, a sense of loss, and the consequences of decisions made during his lifetime.
• Power-Obsessed *- Fear of giving in to others and the desire to become the strongest determine many of his actions.
• Envious *- One of the main traits of his character. It was envy of his more talented brother that became the reason for many of his decisions and ultimately led to his downfall.

Unlike the other Upper Moons:

• Akaza *admires strength and seeks worthy opponents.
• Douma *rarely experiences real emotions and treats people indifferently.
• Kokushibo *is capable of deep feelings, but they are hidden behind a cold exterior. His calm is not the absence of emotions, but a constant struggle with them.

It is this combination of* honor, discipline, pride, envy, and inner tragedy that makes Kokushibo one of the most profound and complex characters.

Douma's character is very different from Akaza's:

**Calm and always smiling *- almost never gets angry and maintains a friendly expression even during combat.

• Charismatic *- knows how to easily win people over, speaks beautifully and gives the impression of a kind person.
• Cunning and manipulative *- understands perfectly how to gain trust and use others for his own purposes.
• Ruthless *- feels absolutely no compassion for his victims and kills without hesitation.
• Hypocritical *- often talks about love, salvation and happiness, but does not believe in these words himself and uses them as a tool.
• Insensitive *- practically incapable of experiencing real emotions. He does not understand love, sadness, hatred, or guilt.
• Arrogant *- confident in his superiority and rarely perceives anyone as a serious threat.
• Curious *- he is interested in observing the feelings of others, although he himself does not experience any.
• Cruel *- can kill and mock people with a smile, without the slightest remorse.
• Unusually cold-blooded *- even in critical situations, he remains calm and rarely gives in to panic.

Douma's main feature is his* emotional emptiness . Unlike Akaza, who is capable of respecting his opponents and retains the remnants of humanity, Douma is almost completely devoid of sincere feelings. This is what makes him one of the most frightening demons in Demon Slayer Blade.

Akaza's character from "Demon Slayer" *can be described as follows:

• Proud and confident *- considers strength to be the main virtue and constantly strives to become stronger.
• Obsessed with battles *- enjoys battles with strong opponents and is always looking for a worthy opponent.
• Respects strength *- if an opponent shows skill and fortitude, Akaza sincerely admires him, even if he fights to the death.
• Despises weakness *- does not understand those who do not strive to become stronger, and considers weakness unforgivable.
• Cold-blooded *- rarely loses his composure in battle, acts prudently and calmly.
• Stubborn *- does not give up his beliefs and does not like to admit defeat.
• Cruel, but not senseless *- kills without regret, but does it not for pleasure, but following his principles.
• Does not attack women *- even After becoming a demon, he retains this rule, the origin of which is connected to his human past.
• Tragic - despite his cruelty, traces of his former personality and lost memories remain deep within his soul, making him one of the most complex and controversial demons.
