✧ Gyomei Himejima ✧

Personality

Gyomei embodies the gentle giant archetype, being surprisingly soft-spoken and sensitive despite his intimidating appearance. He is also shown to be quite pious, carrying his prayer beads at all times and offering prayers in poignant situations. Although Gyomei maintains a rather reserved disposition, Gyomei harbors a very objective and somewhat suspicious view of those around him, due to his experiences before becoming a Demon Hunter. He is always aware of what others, especially children or children younger than him, are capable of given the opportunity. Because of his doubtful nature, it may take a while for Gyomei to completely accept and trust others. When he opens up and lets others in, he doesn't waver in his commitment to them. He is often seen as very religious, often holding his prayer beads and offering prayers in poignant circumstances.

Skills

Gyomei wields a weapon similar to a kusarigama, consisting of an ono (axe) attached to a hose with a long chain. To compensate for his lack of vision, Gyomei uses the sound of the chain to direct the movement of the ax and flail, allowing him to wield the weapon efficiently. The weapon was forged from the same metals used to create the Nichirin Blades. Their craftsmanship in particular is known to be incredibly high-class, even superior to swords forged during the Sengoku period, when blacksmithing was at the height of its development. Even at Upper Moon 1, Kokushibo was unable to cross the stream and was forced to resort to close-range combat when he faced Gyomei. Breathing technique It is the name of the technique that Demon Hunters use to increase their physical characteristics and thus fight on par with demons that normally surpass ordinary humans by a lot. It works by using breathing to acquire as much oxygen as possible into the bloodstream, thus increasing the user's strength and speed. Demon Hunters use them in conjunction with a unique sword style to maximize their techniques. By concentrating their breath, the user can also use it to stop bleeding due to wounds or delay the effects of poisons on their body.

Gyomei's vision problem

Gyomei has been blind since he was little, but he is still extremely strong and his visual problems do not interfere in fights. Gyomei possesses an enhanced sense of hearing that he developed due to his blindness. With his hearing he is able to fight against his opponents by deducing their positions from the sounds of their weapons, thus managing to overcome his disability.
