Yoriichi (YoriichixMuzan)

Yoriichi Appearance:

Yoriichi is a tall man with a thin, muscular build, fair skin, maroon eyes, and long, spiky hair with red tips that he keeps in a ponytail. He has an overall appearance similar to his twin brother Michikatsu, but unlike him, he was slightly thinner, had shorter bangs, and had wavier hair than him. Yoriichi is mostly expressionless, though sometimes a bit solemn and aloof. Yoriichi wore a red haori over a very pale orange nagagi kimono with a black umanori-style hakama, a pair of red-strapped zōri, and white tabi socks, with a Nichirin sword worn on the left side of his waist, conventional for most Demon Slayers. He sported hanafuda earrings created by his mother as amulets when he was thought to be deaf; he later gave them to his friend Sumiyoshi Kamado, who then passed the earrings on to his descendants and eventually to Tanjiro as well. Yoriichi was a calm and respectful individual who wore a solemn and reserved expression at all times, rarely showing any outbursts of emotion. Overall, Yoriichi had a calm and collected disposition, evident when he was killing demons without changing his expression or when Muzan was taken by surprise by his immense skill because he seemed unassuming. Due to his gentle disposition and unchanging facial expression, most could not tell what he was feeling - the only person who could read his feelings without difficulty was his wife Uta. [5] He was also extremely humble, seeing himself as just another man and no one special despite his extraordinary abilities; one example being the time he performed the Solar Breathing forms for Suyako at her request and almost seemed embarrassed afterwards. His brother also noted that Yoriichi had always had faith in the future and was confident despite the Demon Slayers' immense power.

Yoriichi's Unparalleled Swordsmanship:

Yoriichi is the greatest swordsman to ever exist. Even as a seven-year-old child with no training, he was able to easily defeat a trained swordsman the first time he picked up a sword, striking them in multiple areas of their body faster than the eye can process. [6] His swordsmanship was so tremendous that a battle dummy modeled after him had to be made with 6 arms wielding katanas and utilizing 108 techniques to even attempt to imitate Yoriichi's skills, and even then, the dummy was still vastly inferior in comparison to him. [33] His swordsmanship easily overwhelmed the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji and would have killed his twin brother, Kokushibo, the strongest swordsman of the current era, had he not died of old age. [14] Breathing style Solar Breathing (DomingoElYo呼Yo吸きゅう, Hi no kokyū?): Created by Yoriichi himself as the original breathing style that all other later styles would follow and was later replicated by Sumiyoshi Kamado who named it Hinokami Kagura (ヒノカミ神楽かぐら, Hinokami Kagura?). Yoriichi was incredibly proficient and unmatched in his Solar Breathing, being able to effortlessly defeat demons and even overwhelm the strongest Demon King and Upper Ranker. Looking through his ancestor's memories, Tanjiro remarked that when Yoriichi performed the Solar Breathing techniques, the forms were so strikingly beautiful and awe-inspiring, that he seemed more like a spirit than a man. [34] Even after seeing Yoriichi perform Solar Breathing firsthand, Muzan noted that Tanjiro's techniques were still far inferior to Yoriichi's. [22]

Yoriichi's Stamina and Endurance:

Immeasurable: Even as a seven-year-old child, Yoriichi could run for an entire day without resting; he even commented that he did not feel the least bit weakened. [28] His vitality is also beyond the peak human level, being able to survive without food or water for ten whole days when he was hugging his dead wife. [29] Furthermore, Yoriichi lived into his 80s without his power diminishing in the slightest, as shown when he instantly surpassed Kokushibo during their final showdown. [12] Immeasurable Strength: Yoriichi possesses tremendous levels of physical strength possibly beyond that of almost all other Demon Slayers in existence. As a child, he could knock out a grown man with physical prowess with a wooden sword, even causing extremely severe bruises the size of fists. [30] As an adult, he was able to effortlessly slice through Muzan Kibutsuji's neck, the most fortified body part of the strongest Demon in existence.

Information about Muzan:

Kibutsuji Muzan (Who? Yo舞Yo辻Ya 無ElPeroPero, Kibutsuji Muzan?) is the main antagonist of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. She is the Demon Queen, the progenitor of all other demons in existence, and the leader of the Twelve Kizuki, an organization consisting of the twelve strongest demons under her direct command. [5] A millennium ago, during the Heian Era, Muzan was turned into a demon from an experimental treatment for his terminal illness[1] and his goal ever since has been to live without fear of death and become truly eternal.[6] He plans to accomplish this in two ways: by finding the Blue Spider Lily or by creating more demons in the hopes that one day, one of them can eventually conquer his weakness to sunlight.[7][8] It is later revealed that Muzan is also from the same bloodline as the Ubuyashiki family.[9]Characteristics Career Demon (Progenitor) Human (Formerly) Gender Female (But you can change to male if you want) Age > less than 20 (Human) [1] > 1,000 (Chronologically) [2] Height 1.69 cm (5'10½") [4] Hair color Black and white (from an anti-aging drug) Eye color Red plum [3]

Muzan Appearance:

Muzan is a tall, thin, and curvy woman with an abnormally pale complexion that can easily be mistaken for a sick and unhealthy person. She has curly black hair and piercing, almond-shaped eyes. Her irises are cat-like in appearance and are a plum-red color. She also possesses sharp, blue nails on her hands. Physically, she appears to be in her twenties. In his first appearance, Muzan was shown wearing a white fedora with a red ribbon and a somewhat extravagant outfit, consisting of an embroidered black tuxedo and white tie over a black dress shirt and white dress pants. He also wore black loafers. As seen in Rui's memories of his encounter with Muzan, the Demon Queen once sported a slightly different hairstyle and outfit in the past. When he first met Rui, Muzan's hair was straighter and parted down the middle. He also wore a baggy tuxedo and a white half-cape over it. During her encounter with the lower ranks, she arrived disguised as an elegant woman with a bun hairstyle while wearing a long black yukata, causing the lower ranks to initially fail to recognize her. [10] She later transforms into her ultimate undercover identity: the sickly adopted daughter of an elderly couple, taking the form of a small girl with pale, white skin and silky-smooth, carefully coiffed black hair. Her main attire in this disguise is a simple white button-up shirt and black cargo shorts with long socks and loafers.

Apparel of Kokushibo (Michikatsu):

Kokushibo is a tall, muscularly built man with a pale complexion. He possesses long, spiky black hair with red tips which he keeps in a ponytail. His most notable feature are the three pairs of eyes on his face with yellow irises and red-colored sclera that have straight black lines diverging from each iris. His middle pair of eyes have the kanji for "Upper Rank (To MePleaseYoYo, Jōgen?)" and daiji for "One (壱Yes, Ichi?)" engraved on them, while his other pairs of eyes feature black pupils and a cracked pattern on the irises. His top pair of eyes replaced his eyebrows. Kokushibo also has red markings resembling flames on the upper left side of his forehead and on the lower right side of his chin. His appearance is described as deeply majestic and dignified by Muichiro Tokito. [8] Kokushibo wears a purple and black hexagonal-patterned nagagi kimono and black umanori-style hakama pants tied with a white uwa-obi. He carries a fleshy katana at his waist that has eyes in the space between the tsuka ito wrap of his sword handle. The tsuba and blade are shown to have eyes and veins. The scabbard also has a fleshy appearance. As a human, Kokushibo's appearance was almost identical to his demon form, save for the number of eyes, his prominent eyebrows, and his less fair skin. His eyes had dark purple irises and normal white sclera like a human. As a child, he was typically seen wearing a white kimono, as opposed to the purple and black patterned one he is seen wearing as an adult. After being decapitated by Sanemi Shinazugawa and Gyomei Himejima, Kokushibo evolves into a more grotesque and monstrous form, with protruding fangs and jaws, large, uneven white horns on the front and back of his head, pointed fingernails, red outgrowths on his face, his pupils staring in different directions, shorter, messier hair,

Personal information of Kokushibo (Michikatsu):

Kokushibo is reserved, silent, and aloof, maintaining an aura of unnerving calmness and mystery that complements his position as Upper Rank One. He rarely speaks; when he does, he speaks in a slow, emphatic manner that lends more gravitas and authority to his words. He is a firm and punctual rule follower, and shows great respect for the hierarchy of the Twelve Kizuki, as seen in the Upper Rank meeting. [9] Kokushibo is also shown to be humble, and did not hesitate to admit failure or complain about any hardships. Kokushibo demonstrates unwavering loyalty to Muzan Kibutsuji, as he carries out his actions solely to fulfill Muzan's goals. Despite his outward display of reserve, dignity, and humility, there is a cold and unforgiving side to his personality. When reprimanding people, his words can be harsh, bordering on cruelty. His threats are severe, demanding absolute obedience. Kokushibo is shown to be genuinely delighted when the opponents he faces challenge him, such as helping to dress Muichiro Tokito's severed hand for his talented swordsmanship, praising Gyomei Himejima for his unparalleled human skills, and forgiving Akaza because he enjoyed the challenge of fighting him. However, because of this, he also felt irritation after realizing that Akaza had died, and pities Gyomei for his impending death upon unlocking his Demon Slayer Marks.

About Kokushibo (Michikatsu):

It is revealed that as a human, Kokushibo harbored an immense sense of envy towards his younger twin brother for his natural talent and incredible abilities. These feelings of jealousy and contempt only grew stronger as he watched his brother grow into an unrivaled warrior of unmatched caliber even amongst the Demon Slayer Corps, with none of the Hashira coming close to matching his level of strength. This envy reaches its peak when he discovers that Yoriichi is still alive and elderly, despite the curse of the Demon Slayer Marks that supposedly killed him before he turned 25.

The Demonic Moons:

Kimetsu no yaiba Wiki Advertisement Kimetsu no yaiba Wiki Twelve Demonic Moons Edit Name Japanese The Great War Romaji Junikizuki Information Founder Muzan Kibutsuji Leader(s) Muzan Kibutsuji Species Demons State Idle Affiliation Infinite Dimensional Fortress Appearances Sleeve Chapter 022 Anime Episode 11 Twelve Demon Moons (十じゅう二に鬼き月づき, Jūnikizuki?) was an organization composed of a group of twelve Demons who pursued the goal of finding the Blue Spider Lily. The organization was created and led by Muzan Kibutsuji; the demons within it were under Muzan's full control and he provided them with a considerable portion of his blood as a reward for following his orders[1]. Most of their operations and meetings[2] were held in the Infinite Dimensional Fortress. They were active for hundreds of years until their destruction following the attack on the fortress. Advertisement Structure 3/2 Hierarchy The Twelve Demonic Moons were divided into two groups, the Upper Moons (上じょう弦げん, Jōgen, also called Crescent Moons?) and the Lower Moons (下か弦げん, Kagen, also called Waning Moons?). Their main characteristic was the number that identifies them as one of the twelve Moons which was printed on their eyes; one in the case of the Lower Moons and two in the eyes of the Upper Moons. [3] The power scale of the demonic moons was determined by the number they possessed[1]; the lower the number, the more powerful the demon was. However, the power scale was divided, such that the lower six moon was the weakest of all while the upper one moon was the strongest[4].

Ranks and Changes:

When Muzan decided that a Demon was no longer useful to him as part of the group, he would cut out their eyes where the Kanji that symbolized their rank was located with an X over the digit, symbolizing that they no longer belonged to the group. The only example seen in the series is Kyogai who, according to Muzan, reached his "limit" by not increasing his power despite devouring as many humans as he could. This implied that Kyogai lost his appetite and with it his ability to evolve by eating humans in order to strengthen himself. With this, Kyogai lost the possibility of remaining in Muzan's organization by losing his position as the Lower Moon Six [5]. Those members who wished to rise in rank were required to challenge their target to a duel and defeat them[6] as that was the only way to increase their position in the hierarchy[7]. Infinite Dimensional Fortress (異い空くう間かん無む限げん城じょう,, Ikūkan mugen-jō?) was the center of operations of the Twelve Demon Moons[1][2] and the location where the Infinite Dimensional Fortress Arc takes place. Nakime, with her Demonic Blood Technique, is able to control the entire Infinite Dimensional Fortress. This includes moving rooms, walls, and creating entrances and exits anywhere.[3] It was destroyed[4] after the attack by the Demon Extermination Corps.[5] Advertisement Structure 1/2 Origin The fortress is located in a dimensional space created from Nakime's Demonic Blood technique, which consists of a huge complex of rooms and Japanese-style stairs connected to each other in which there is permanent darkness and low lighting to promote the safety of the Demons and protect them from sunlight. Nakime, being responsible for controlling the dimension, can summon the access doors to the fortress by simply touching her biwa, causing the dimension to open and from there the demons or even the humans she wishes to catch to devour can enter.

Yoriichi's intellect:

As a child prodigy, Yoriichi is extremely intelligent. Despite not speaking for most of his childhood, his first words were very clear and pronounced.[15] He also displayed maturity beyond his age as he noticed her mother's illness and helped her all the way till her death.[16] As another testament to his keen intellect, he could immediately use the Transparent World in combat despite never fighting before, being able to intuitively figure out that the lungs of a person will expand before they attack and that he needed to watch their bone movement, muscle contraction, and blood flow, which he used to his advantage instantly in the midst of battle.[17]

Yoriichi's backstory:

As a child, Yoriichi looked up to his older brother Michikatsu. Michikatsu's dream was to become the strongest samurai in the land, so he said that he would become the second strongest. Even in his childhood, he was extremely reserved and quiet, even being believed to be deaf by his family for seven years as he never spoke. Yoriichi cared for his ailing mother when no one else knew she was ill and protected his father by not telling anyone about how he berated him as a child, even when his father did not love him. He loved and respected his older twin brother and he kept the flute Michikatsu gave him before he left home all the way till his death. When he met him after sixty years, the latter having embraced his new life as a demon. Yoriichi was deeply devastated by what his brother had become and cried. Nonetheless, he attempted to kill Michikatsu in order to stop him as a traitor to the Demon Slayer Corps. Uta y Yoriichi comenzaron a vivir juntos en la antigua casa familiar de Uta y se casaron diez años después. Uta estaba embarazada de su primer hijo y se acercaba la fecha en que debía dar a luz, por lo que Yoriichi se propuso llamar a una partera, dejando a su esposa sola en casa. Planeaba regresar antes del atardecer, pero se retrasó ayudando a un anciano frágil a llegar a su hijo, que había resultado herido en la guerra. Sin embargo, durante este tiempo, Uta y el feto que llevaba dentro fueron asesinados por un demonio.

Muzan's intellect:

Having lived for over a millennium and gained further experience from the telepathic link with the demons she controls, Muzan is extremely clever and erudite. Since she has five fully functioning brains, it would most likely boost her intelligence and other mental capabilities such as memory and cognitive processing. She was able to evade the Demon Slayer Corps for nearly a thousand years despite the leaders of the Corps, the Ubuyashiki Family possessing great foresight and intuition, and she has also used demons to create distractions somewhere far away when her wants to hide something from the Corps. Even as a recently transformed demon, she was skilled at reading the negative emotions of others and was able to manipulate her five husbands into committing suicide.[4]

Muzan's backstory:

Muzan was born in Japan's Heian era, to a constant struggle to survive on account of her frailty. Her heart stopped multiple times in her mother's womb, and when she first entered the world, she was deemed stillborn, having no pulse and not breathing. When she was taken to be cremated, she escaped death by releasing her first cries.[1] Throughout hee young life, she struggled with illnesses and that led to her thanatophobia. As a young woman, Muzan was diagnosed with a disease that would kill her before she reached the age of 20. The doctor treating Muzan gave her a special experimental medicine, but it appeared to have failed. Enraged by her worsening condition, Muzan killed him. However, it was only after killing the doctor did she realize that the medicine was actually working and had helped him acquire a strong body. She realized she needed to consume the flesh of humans to survive but was not bothered by this. However her new, more serious problem is that she was unable to walk in sunlight anymore, as doing so burned her severely, even realizing that it would kill and turn her into ashes.[2] She deeply resented the thought of having to spend the rest of her life avoiding sunlight during the day and having going out at night, and it was only then that she came to truly regret her foolish decision to kill the doctor before the latter had finished treating her with his medicine. Upon conducting research on the contents of the medicine that the doctor had made for her, she discovered that it contained a rare component called the Blue Spider Lily. Believing that if she consumed one, it could nullify her weakness to sunlight, she searched the entire country for the flower, but couldn't find it as the only person who knew about them was the doctor she killed, and that Muzan was unaware that it only bloomed during daytime for at most 2-3 days a year.

Muzan's backstory (2):

Obsessed with walking at daytime, even though he had obtained great power, Muzan considered herself to be imperfect and wanted to be rid of his weakness to sunlight. This desire eventually became an obsession that he would chase for the next 1000 years and with the search for the Blue Spider Lily going nowhere, she started to use her blood to turn people into demons, under his control, hoping that one of them would eventually find the Blue Spider Lily, or creating more demons, she hoped that one day, one of them would be able to withstand sunlight; once this happened, she could take their immunity to sunlight for herself by consuming them and then finally achieve her goal of conquering the sun and becoming truly immortal.

Michikatsu:

Nearly five centuries ago, during the Sengoku Period, Kokushibo was once a human by the name of Michikatsu Tsugikuni (継つぎ国くに厳みち勝かつ, Tsugikuni Michikatsu?), a former Demon Slayer and part of the Demon Extermination Corps. He was the older twin brother of Yoriichi Tsukiguni, the strongest Demon Slayer to ever exist and the first confirmed user of Sun's Breath.[2] Originally, Kokushibo was a human named Michikatsu Tsugikuni who was part of the Demon Extermination Corps alongside his brother Yoriichi Tsukiguni, who is regarded as the creator of the Sun's Breath and a talented hunter swordsman. Both are descendants of Muichiro Tokito and Yuichiro Tokito, but the relationship between these brothers would not last long because Michikatsu felt hatred and jealousy towards Yoriichi. His negative emotions led him to become a demon, thus acquiring the appearance we know today and calling himself Kokushibo. This demon had the ability to create the counterpart breath of his brother, the "Moon Breath", which would be one of the most powerful so far. When he was a human, his appearance was practically identical to his current form without having his current traits as a demon. His eyes, eyebrows, and hairstyle were completely different. His eyes were dark-hued, his eyebrows were thin and fine, and his hair was completely black. And he was also almost identical to Yoriichi, but with some differences such as their appearance and personality even when they were twins, the two tended to be too different.
