The hantengu clones

Sekido's appearance and personality

Sekido (積せき怒ど Sekido?, lit. Anger) is a tall young man with a lean muscular build, and narrow, deep red eyes that have the kanji of "Upper Rank" (上じょう弦げん Jōgen?) and daiji of "Four" (肆し Shi?) engraved into them. When he was first formed, he had unkempt wavy hair similar to Hantengu. After Aizetsu forms from his head, he grows long, spiky hair that goes past his shoulders. In both instances his hair had a reddish tinge. He has two prominent curved horns on his forehead and markings under his eyes that give his face a cracked appearance. He also has the kanji for "anger" etched into his tongue. As a demon, Sekido has pointed ears and sharp nails on each finger. He is usually seen wearing an irritated or enraged expression on his face. Sekido wears the same kimono as Hantengu, as he is formed from Hantengu's headless body. He also wears a pair of zōri and is always seen carrying around a Khakkhara (錫しゃく杖じょう Shakujō?). As the manifestation of Hantengu's anger, Sekido was in a constant state of vexation, irritation, and rage, even towards his fellow clones, which could be seen when he easily got angered when they failed to meet his expectations and were subdued by the Demon Slayers. Sekido was also seen to care very little about his brethren. When they were injured by the Demon Slayers, such as Genya blasting Aizetsu's head off and Nezuko burning Karaku with her Blood Demon Art, Sekido was unsympathetic and berated the clones for losing to their opponents. His apathy towards the other clones was most exemplified when he forcibly absorbed them against their will to form Zohakuten, even as Aizetsu protested. He also showed himself to be the most dominant of the emotion clones and seemed to be their leader, as he was the one who barked orders at them and took charge at critical junctures when they were battling the Demon Slayers.[4] This is likely why he is the one to commence the formation of Zohakuten. In addition to his usual irate demeanor, he can be seen displaying hin

Karaku's appearance and personality

Karaku (可か楽らく Karaku?, lit. Pleasure) is a tall young man with a lean muscular build, and narrow, deep green eyes with the kanji of "Upper Rank" (上じょう弦げん Jōgen?) and daiji of "Four" (肆し Shi?) engraved into them. When he was first formed, he had unkempt wavy hair similar to Hantengu. After Urogi forms from his head, he grows long, spiky hair that goes past his shoulders. In both instances his hair had a greenish tinge. He has two prominent curved horns on his forehead and cracked markings under his eyes, similar to Sekido. Karaku also has the kanji for "pleasure" etched into his tongue. Karaku has pointed ears and sharp nails on each finger, like Sekido. He is usually seen wearing a gleeful expression on his face. Karaku wears nothing but green hakama pants, accompanied by a Yuigesa harness. Karaku is always seen carrying around a fatsia leaf-shaped Uchiwa (團扇うちわ Uchiwa?). As the manifestation of Hantengu's pleasure, Karaku showcased himself to be the most relaxed and laid-back of Hantengu's clones. The entire time he was battling against Genya, Tanjiro and Nezuko, he was constantly either praising or mocking them, and instead of taking the battle seriously, he saw it as nothing more than a game, seemingly to only take interest in the new experiences he was obtaining in the battle. This was demonstrated during his battle with Nezuko, when, instead of finishing her off immediately, he decided to tease and play with her despite being able to easily overpower her anytime he wanted. Later when Genya shoots off Sekido's hand, Karaku immediately takes an interests and decides to entertain himself by fighting Genya instead. This behavior easily got on the nerves of his fellow clones, such as Sekido, who constantly berated him for not taking on a serious outlook in battle, and Aizetsu, who was confused at why he was taking so long to kill Nezuko. He took no notice, and instead told them to keep their hands to themselves to allow him to toy with and kill Nezuko. Karaku agoni

Aizetsu's appearance and personality

Aizetsu (哀あい絶ぜつ Aizetsu?, lit. Sorrow) is a tall young man with a lean muscular build, shoulder-length spiky hair with a blueish tinge, and narrow, deep blue eyes with the kanji of "Upper Rank" (上じょう弦げん Jōgen?) and daiji of "Four" (肆し Shi?) engraved into them. He has two prominent curved horns on his forehead and cracked markings under his eyes. Aizetsu also has the kanji for "sorrow" etched into his tongue. As a demon, Aizetsu has pointed ears and sharp nails on each finger. He is usually seen wearing a dejected expression on his face. Aizetsu wears a navy blue kimono with white lines running through various areas of the clothing and rope-like accessories tied around his shoulders. He also wears hakama pants and a pair of zōri. Aizetsu is always seen carrying around a Jūmonji Yari (十じゅう文もん字じ鑓やり?). As the manifestation of Hantengu's sorrow, Aizetsu was portrayed to be completely dejected, sour, and negative, constantly describing everything as depressing. Out of all the manifestations, Aizetsu was shown to be the calmest and most collected out of all five of them, as seen when instead of frivolously wasting time on entertainment as Urogi and Karaku or immediately getting agitated and enraged by anything like Sekido, Aizetsu was shown to calmly analyze his opponents and think out his strategy and figure out his opponents' abilities and weaknesses before attacking. Unlike the usually vicious and bloodthirsty attitude most demons possess when killing humans, or even compared to the rest of Hantengu's clones, Aizetsu chooses to kill quickly by striking vital areas, and he feels sadness should his opponent fail to die a quick death. His perpetual dour and sadness even extends towards his fellow clones, as seen when he complies with Sekido's orders only to make him stop yelling.

Urogi's appearance and personality

Urogi (空うろ喜ぎ Urogi?, lit. Joy) is a tall young man with a lean muscular build, long spiky hair that goes past his shoulders with a yellowish tinge, and narrow gold eyes with the kanji of "Upper Rank" (上じょう弦げん Jōgen?) and daiji of "Four" (肆し Shi?) engraved into them. He has two prominent curved horns on his forehead and cracked markings under his eyes. Urogi also has the kanji for "joy" etched into his tongue. Urogi has pointed ears and sharp nails on each finger. He is usually seen wearing an overjoyed expression on his face, similar to Karaku. Unlike the rest of Hantengu's humanoid manifestations, Urogi possesses an avian physiology, possessing two large wings on his back and raptor-like feet armed with sharp talons that take the place of his hands and legs; additionally, Urogi has a thick coat of brown feathers around his legs, reaching down to his knees, and he only wore a chain of gold colored pearls around his waist along with purple ornaments hanging from two pearls. As the manifestation of Hantengu's joy, Urogi is the most jovial and giddy of Hantengu's clones. Similar to Karaku, he seemed to view the entire battle against the Demon Slayers as nothing more than a game or as a source of entertainment, as seen when he happily complimented Tanjiro on his intelligence for correctly guessing that neither one of the four clones was the "real" body and constantly exclaimed that the entire fight against Tanjiro was delightful. He is also shown to very boastful of his avian abilties, as he brags to Tanjiro about the speed and strength of his talons. Despite this, he could lose his patience should his opponent prove too challenging to finish off, shown when he was angered when Tanjiro sliced off the top part of his head.

Zohakuten's appearance and personality

Zohakuten (憎ぞう珀はく天てん Zōhakuten?, lit. Hatred) is a short and muscular young boy with short black hair that spikes up at various angles around his head and narrow gold eyes with the kanji of "Upper Rank" (上じょう弦げん Jōgen?) and daiji of "Four" (肆し Shi?) engraved into them. Zohakuten also has the kanji for "hatred" etched into his tongue. He is usually seen wearing an angry scowl on his face, similar to Sekido. Zohakuten's clothing seems to be a combination of Sekido's, Karaku's, Aizetsu's, and Urogi's clothes. He wears dark brown hakama pants covered with a piece of cloth bearing a close resemblance to the wavy pattern on Sekido's kimono and tied together with a long strap of white cloth. He also wears long brown sleeves that bear a resemblance to Aizetsu's kimono. On the back of his head hung the purple ornaments found on Urogi's pearl belt. Finally, he dons a plate of golden armor that only covers his upper chest. Zohakuten has a series of drums connected to each other that are inexplicably floating behind his back, with each drum having the kanji of "hatred" displayed on them. He also carries around a bone-like dagger in each hand. As the manifestation of Hantengu's hatred, Zohakuten shared many personality traits with both Sekido and Hantengu himself, as he too was easily enraged and was incredibly spiteful and hateful towards his enemies, deeming them as evil and cruel villains. Despite this, Zohakuten was usually stoic and phlegmatic in his vindictive rantings, rarely raising his voice and instead speaking to the Demon Slayers frankly. Similar to Hantengu, he had a hypocritical sense of righteousness, as shown when he admonished Tanjiro and Genya for attempting to behead the “small and weak” Hantengu, referring to them with a degrading pronoun and calling their actions atrocious. When Tanjiro pressed that Zohakuten was the true fiend, the demon lost his composure and immediately sent his dragons on him. Like Sekido, he was also foul-mouthed as seen when he constan
