Uzui Tengen

Overview & Appearance

One of the nine members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and his nickname is Jumushi (音柱). He uses a breathing sound derived from the breath of lightning. He likes flashy things, so he decorates his entire body, including his face and circlet, with flashy ornaments. He likes to say things like "doing it flashy" as much as his appearance. He was a ninja before becoming a Demon Slayer Corps. He likes flashy things to the point that it's hard to believe he's a ninja. This trait was the same when he was a ninja, and he has decorated his circlet, although it's more plain now. He has even more decorations now, and this has the disadvantage of obscuring his beauty. He displays a childish and self-centered personality that is reminiscent of Hashibira Inosuke. However, despite his dark past, he has an outstanding personality and is loved by his three wives. He has silver short hair that goes down to his shoulders, dark red eyes, and upturned eyes. He is a handsome man with a different vibe from the author's official handsome man, Tomioka Giyuu. [17] He usually wears his hair slicked back and tied with a turban, [18] and has unique eye makeup that resembles a festival firecracker on only one eye, and he even wears dazzling accessories, so his appearance is not very prominent. However, his real appearance that is covered up by this is objectively very handsome. In particular, when he lets his hair down, as in the photo above, he looks even more beautiful. Because of this, the trio (Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke) who put on thick makeup to infiltrate the brothel look particularly ugly, and he even uses a beauty trap on the brothel's hostess to sell these ugly-looking children. Zenitsu was also jealous of him, saying, "He has an obviously handsome face." By the way, if you look at the back, you can see a single strand of hair that looks like a ponytail, but it is actually just hair sticking out from between the turban. Plus, it is said that the hair is thin. With a height of nearly 2m and a muscular body of a bodybuilder, he has an extremely strong physique, making him the second-strongest man in the Demon Slayer organization after Kyomei. This physique can be said to be the result of his efforts in the past, when he endured harsh training with a bone-crushing spirit. He wears a circlet with six jewels in the center on his forehead and jewels hanging down on both sides, two gold hoop earrings on each ear, and a sleeveless blue-gray uniform without a haori.[19] He wears something like a gold bracelet on his forearm, and half gloves and silver rings on his hands. His gaiters are a dark red color, the same color as his eyes. And all of her fingernails and toenails are painted alternately in light green and red nail polish. Her hands are clearly visible because she is wearing half gloves, but her feet are not very noticeable, but you can see it in some of the goods illustrations where she is wearing sandals on her bare feet.

personality

He is generous and refreshing. Although he is a bit different from Kyojuro, he is not the most rough-tempered of the Tengens, and he is surprisingly a person of integrity, unlike his first appearance at the meeting. However, he is self-centered and a bit hasty, so he sometimes seems a bit frivolous. The second person he uses is Omae and Temero, which shows his personality well. However, when faced with an urgent situation where their life is at stake, they become much calmer and more rational. He values ​​the lives of those around him very much, and is never stingy with apologies and gratitude when he makes a mistake or receives help. The reason why people around Uzui continue to follow him is because, although he may seem like a narcissist, he is polite and takes good care of others. With his hearty personality and my-pace attitude, he feels more like a comrade who fights back and forth with Tanjiro and his friends than a vertical relationship.

3 wives

He has three wives who are all kunoichi and subordinates. Considering the era, this is not only unusual but also outrageous. The main character Tanjiro is surprised that someone of the same type as Inosuke has three wives, and Zenitsu is jealous and suspicious of such a man who has three wives. Furthermore, all three are beauties with different styles and have great breasts and glamorous looks. Tengen's clan is polygamous, so when they are around 15 years old, the clan leader chooses three women to marry. It seems that he left them together when Tengen joined the Demon Slayer Corps and quit being a ninja. All three wives are deeply in love with Tengen, and while they generally get along well, they sometimes fight due to personality differences. Hinatsuru: She has a calm and affectionate personality, and her physical features include her upturned lavender eyes, a black ponytail with bangs, and a teardrop mole on her left eye. Perhaps because she has the most mature personality among the three wives, she seems to have the most romantic relationships with Tengen. In the anime, she is often portrayed as so affectionate that she unintentionally makes the other two wives jealous twice. She comes from a ninja family that is second only to the Uzui family in rank, and is skilled at both gathering information and fighting, giving her a good balance as a ninja and excellent judgment. Makio: Her physical characteristics are her goddess-like bangs, which are divided 50/50, her bangs are yellow and her back is black, her hair is two-toned, and she has a ponytail at the back. She has yellow eyes, four-eyed eyes, and round eyes with one eyelash on each side, one on the top and one on the bottom. She has a very strict and blunt personality, just like her sharp appearance among the three. Because of this, she often finds the weak Suma particularly frustrating and scolds him, and when she gets angry, not only her mouth but also her actions become quite bold. Suma: She has big, round eyes with blue pupils and black, medium-length hair. In season 2, she always had her hair down, but in season 4, she tied it up in a ponytail like the other wives. Her bangs, hairstyle, and long, round eyes with eyelashes are quite similar to Hashibira Inosuke. Also, her smiling face strangely resembles Kanroji Mitsuri. She is a beautiful woman with a cute appearance that resembles Mitsuri, and she has a large, glamorous body. Unlike other kunoichis, she is a crybaby and has a weak and timid personality, but she is good at following orders. After Tengen retired, she seems to have become more psychologically stable and is much more cheerful and easygoing. Whenever she appears, she is usually scolded by Makio. She is often scolded by Makio because he is strict, but she is also scolded for her various unruly words and actions, such as grabbing Hinatsuru who has fallen and making remarks that cross the line without even understanding the meaning. [1] Although she whines about herself as a half-sister[2], she surprisingly shows her ability in the brothel infiltration episode, and is the only one to rise to the position of Oiran.[3] Even when she was kidnapped by Taki, Koinatsu Oiran mentioned that Suma had never been manipulated by a man.[4] He really likes Tengen, so after all the fighting in the brothel, when Obanai teased Tengen for only dealing with one Upper Sage 6, his usual weak appearance disappeared and he and Makio showed signs of suppressing their anger, unable to control their expressions. Although it was depicted as a gag, his face was so angry that the tendons on his face stood out.

Hot and bothersome rat

A mouse ninjutsu handled by Tengen. It has a funny face reminiscent of a potter's mask, a muscular body like its owner, and a circlet on its head. Its characteristic is that its cry is loud rather than squeaky.[40] It is said that among the mice, the ones with the strongest tenacity are filtered out once, and among them, the ones with especially good abilities are selected and trained (excerpt from Q&A). According to the author, since passing this training makes you muscular, you essentially need tenacity and a narcissistic side. In addition, this muscle is by no means decorative, and you can easily carry each of Tengen's twin swords, which are clearly heavier than a normal Japanese sword no matter how you look at them.

Combat Power & Physical Ability & Combat Style

Summary of Uzui Tengen's abilities and evaluation Fighting solely with one's own physical abilities and musical skills. "Score" Skill: A fraudulent ability to analyze and counter your opponent's attack patterns, gaining the upper hand over time. Excellent physical and combat sense His overwhelming mental strength and survival skills are the basis for his recognition as a member of the Golden Generation. A fighting style that lacks ultimate attack techniques and focuses on basic breathing techniques. Tengen is a warrior who underestimates himself among the powerful, but this is only due to the genius abilities of other lords. In reality, he is a warrior with abilities strong enough to be considered a Golden Generation lord. Rather than comparing it to other states, if you look at the performance in the battles it has fought, it deserves to be rated higher rather than lower. Uzui Tengen is a strong player with potential and ability as a Golden Generation main character, and he has proven this through his fighting sense and survival skills. As if to prove that he is the second largest body after Kyomei, his basic brute force, leg strength, and physical abilities are by far the best in the entire Demon Slayer Corps[63], and he ranks 2nd in arm wrestling (strength)[64] and 1st in running. His flexibility and reflexes are also excellent compared to his enormous body like Kyomei. In particular, his grip strength stands out, to the point where he can swing a Nichirin sword with his thumb and index finger, which made even the 6th Kyutaro of the Upper World very flustered, asking how he could have such grip strength.[65] In addition, there is a setting that Yeonju Kanroji Mitsuri's attack speed surpasses even Tengen, but conversely, it can be said that he is not as fast as Mitsuri, but his own attack speed is also very fast. On top of that, he has judgment and analysis skills that overwhelm Mitsuri, and his excellent battle sense are a bonus. Due to his special origins as a ninja, he has resistance to poison. As expected from a ninja, he is characterized by quick and acrobatic movements. Also, since he was not originally a pure swordsman, he shows himself using various tools here and there rather than using typical swordsmanship, and he mainly uses tactical techniques that allow him to attack with a surface rather than a line by throwing the explosives he carries and then cutting them precisely to explode them in the desired manner. Additionally, the back of Tengen's twin sword handles are connected by a chain, so in addition to the normal slashing motion, he can also hold the chain and swing it back and forth at very high speeds, using it like nunchaku. So, Tengen's attacks mainly consist of slashing his Ichiryundo like a line, swinging and turning (type 4, Hyangchamubugan), drawing a circle and unleashing a series of attacks that control space (type 5, Myunghyunjuju), or detonating explosives to concentrate firepower in an instant (type 1, Urim) to incapacitate the opponent. Unlike his visible physical strength and flashy swordsmanship, he is an analyst who thoroughly analyzes his opponents. He has been seen sending his wife to gather information in advance in order to obtain information with certainty. When entering a battle, his fighting power increases dramatically when he completes the 'music score' in his head, which is an understanding of the opponent's attack pattern. On the other hand, if the 'music score' is not completed, he engages the opponent with his own swordsmanship skills. If you look closely, it feels like a proper mix of the characteristics of the three main characters. Inosuke uses two swords, Tanjiro uses his brain to fight, and Zenitsu uses his excellent hearing to understand the situation and subdues the enemy with a single, powerful blow. What sets him apart from these three is the variety of weapons and techniques he uses.

Breath of Sound & Il-Ryun-Do & Sheet Music

The breath of lightning was transformed into the breath of sound. The color of the wheel is orange, and it has a special shape. As a former ninja, he has a lot of martial arts, uses explosives in his swordsmanship, and is characterized by fast swordsmanship. What is unique is that, unlike his acrobatic movements and flashy explosions when he attacks, the cross-section of his sword cuts is very clean. This is a clear example of Tengen's high level of technical precision. It is also a technique that requires a lot of caution because it uses explosives.[70] Also, similar to Zenitsu, a user of Lightning Breath, who has excellent hearing, the creator of Sound Breath, a derivative of Lightning Breath, is also shown to be able to find locations through hearing, or to create musical scores that read enemy patterns and rhythms. Type 1 Resonance: A loud noise is produced along with the explosion caused by the impact. It has the power to bore a hole from the ground to deep underground. Type 4: Hyangchamumugan: A technique that uses slashing and explosions to create a large space in front, defending against wide-range attacks from enemies. Fifth Form Ming-Hyeon-Ju-Ju: A technique that involves rotating the chain connected to two attitudes and rushing forward while spinning the twin swords to pressure the opponent. A special product made to match the sound of breathing. It is a two-handed sword with a short chain between the handles. The blade also has a strangely perforated shape, and this shape seems to be closely related to the sound of breathing. [71][72] However, since almost no one has survived a single blow, the details are unknown. The chain on the handle is so short that it's hard to use in a normal two-handed swordsmanship, so there are many uses that are almost like using nunchaku. However, when it came to animation, perhaps because they felt the limitations of the action, the chain length was made a bit longer so that two-handed swordsmanship was still possible. He usually carries it around on his back, wrapped in a bandage fixed to his upper body, and when he draws his sword, he uses a trick where the bandage automatically cuts itself as soon as he grabs the sword. It is a technique that uses Tengen's unique combat calculation formula to read the rhythm of the enemy's attack movements and convert it into sound to predict and respond to the enemy's attack patterns such as habits and blind spots. [73] The original translation, '악보', is more commonly called '보면' because the tone is so plain, but as can be seen from the example of 보면대, the two actually refer to the same thing. In other words, it is a technique that allows you to display a level of fraud in battle when you read enough information about your opponent. However, the downside is that it takes a long time to activate.
