Gyokko

high moon demon number five

Gyokko takes the form of a pale white, abstract, grotesque humanoid figure with a torso that has no arms, resembling an armless statue growing from a ceramic pot. He has several children's hands that wrap around his back. Gyokko's face is somewhat distorted. The large green mouths shift the position where people would expect eyes to be, and his actual eyes are positioned vertically apart on his face. One eye appears in the constantly open lower mouth, and the other is located in the center of his forehead. Since he is the Fifth Supreme Moon, he has the kanji for the number five engraved on each of his honey-brown eyes. Gyokko is depicted as being short-tempered and arrogant, especially when it comes to things concerning his "Art", as he was easily angered by Muichiro, when he began to insult and ridicule the quality of his art and through a conversation with a pillar who constantly praised himself as "wonderful" , he has also shown himself to be incredibly jealous, as seen when he is attacked and disfigured by Hotaru Haganezuka due to his jealousy towards the latter, he wanted to make the latter lose focus and waste time on the swordsman due to this petty jealousy. He is also shown to be incredibly sick, as when Douma told him that he placed a human head on top of his pots like a plant, Gyokko was delighted that it inspired his "Art" more, the extent of this painful and violent inspiration for his The "art" is shown even more when he brutally killed several blacksmiths and used their corpses to create a "beautiful" piece by fusing their bodies together and sticking several swords into them. This extreme sadism is shown even more when it is built into this feature of them screaming as the sword pierces deeper into his "work of art", implying that they were still alive. Like all demons, Gyokko has the ability to manipulate his own flesh to a certain extent. Presumably, he uses this ability to change his facial features and adopt his genie-like physiology.
