Summary
The new season ofDemon Slayeris right around the corner. This one will adapt the penultimate story arc of this series: The Infinity Castle arc. This time around, rather than the usual episodic series, Infinity Castle will come as a movie trilogy.
Considering the last arc will focus solely onthe evil overlord, Muzan Kibutsuji, this means the Infinity Castle will be the last arc where fans get to see the demon slayers fight against various powerful demons, most of whom belong to the upper ranks of the Twelve Kizuki. This means chaotic battles involving mind-blowing blood demon arts that viewers haven’t seen before. With that in mind, here’s every blood demon art that will appear in the upcoming Infinity Castle arc, ranked based on how strong they are.
7Genya Shinazugawa
Blood Demon Art: Vampiric Trees
Genya Shinazugawa is the younger brother ofthe Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa. And just like his brother, Genya is also a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. However, unlike his brother, Genya is not as gifted with the sword. He couldn’t even master any breathing style. Not one to give up so easily, Genya took the forbidden approach of consuming demons’ flesh to manifest demonic powers.
Other than acquiring the strength and other physical attributes of a demon, Genya also manifests a Blood Demon art called the Vampiric Trees. With this ability, Genya can produce and shoot flesh bullets from his sawed-off double-barreled shotgun. Once the bullets are lodged into the opponent’s body, they will violently and instantly grow into a small tree. This tree will restrain the enemy’s movement and suck their blood at the same time.
6Kaigaku
Blood Demon Art: Electrokinesis
Before he became the new Upper Rank Six of the Twelve Kizuki, Kaigaku used to be a demon slayer. Even more surprising is the fact that he was actually a student ofthe Thunder Breathing Style, just like Zenitsu. Unfortunately, his thirst for power was so great that he eventually decided to join the dark side.
Apart from his Thunder Breathing Style, Kaigaku also possesses a Blood Demon Art called the Electrokinesis. This ability enables Kaigaku to generate and manipulate dark-colored lightning and thunder that can scorch anything it touches.
5Nakime
Blood Demon Art: Infinity Castle
Nakime is the Upper Rank Four of the Twelve Kizuki. Unlike her fellow upper ranks, however, Nakime rarely fights on the frontline. In fact, she seldom engages in any direct combat at all. And yet she is easily one of Muzan’s most trusted and treasured subordinates. The reason for this is her unique blood demon art.
Nakime’s Blood Demon Art is called the Infinity Castle. Yes, the Infinity Castle that will become the main setting of the upcoming movies was the creation of Nakime. She is the master of this ever-expanding castle that exists in a separate dimension from the real world. From creating trap rooms to dictating everyone’s position inside the castle, Nakime can do everything she wants within her Infinity Castle.
4Yushiro
Blood Demon Art: Blindfold
Unlike most of the demons on this list, who were created by Muzan or one of his upper-rank demons, the one who turned Yushiro into a demon wasthe demon doctor, Tamayo. That’s why his loyalty lies with Tamayo, instead of Muzan. Interestingly enough, even though Yushiro is a demon from Tamayo’s lineage, he still possesses a blood demon art, just like demons that come from Muzan.
His Blood Demon Art is called Blindfold. This ability allows Yushiro to create talismans that can affect the presence or the vision of anything and anyone. For example, if he puts the talisman on a building, that building will not exist to most people, and the same thing applies if he does so to people as well. Furthermore, he can also use the talisman to enhance his and other people’s visions so that they can notice everything around them, no matter how imperceptible it may seem.
3Akaza
Blood Demon Art: Destructive Death
Akaza is quite possibly the most well-known demon mentioned so far. After all, he was the one who killedKyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, back in the Mugen Train arc. Truth be told, Akaza doesn’t need any Blood Demon Art. His expertise in hand-to-hand combat, combined with a demon’s amplified strength and regeneration, makes him a truly formidable foe. But just like any demons out there, the Blood Demon Art is available to him whether he wants it or not.
Akaza’s Blood Demon Art is called Destructive Death. This ability allows Akaza to generate destructive shockwaves that can destroy anything upon impact, or at the very least, send them flying a couple of yards back. With Destructive Death, the close-quarter combat expert gains a long-range weapon, which makes him even more terrifying.
2Doma
Blood Demon Art: Cryokinesis
Doma is quite possibly the most repulsive and dangerous demon in the entire Demon Slayer series. He finds joy in torturing and consuming human beings. Even when he doesn’t need any sustenance, he still actively hunts humans just to amuse himself. Unfortunately for humanity, Doma is the Upper Rank Two ofthe Twelve Kizuki, which means he is absurdly strong and it’s nearly impossible to take him down.
Doma’s Blood Demon Art is called Cryokinesis. As the name suggests, this ability allows Doma to generate and manipulate ice. He can use his ice to freeze his opponents, create a mini blizzard with his fans, and construct various ice objects, such as lotus flowers and even ice limbs. Though it is not the strongest Blood Demon Art, Doma’s Cryokinesis is easily the most versatile one.
1Kokushibo
Blood Demon Art: Crescent Moon Blades
Kokushibo is the Upper Rank One of the Twelve Kizuki, and the brother of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the founder of the Demon Slayer Corps and the creator of the Breathing Style Technique. He was an exceptional swordsman when he was still a human.He even developed the rare Moon Breathing Styleto compete with his brother’s Sun Breathing Style. But no matter how long he trained, he couldn’t surpass his genius brother. Blinded by his thirst for power, he accepted Muzan’s offer and became a demon, under the new name of “Kokushibo.”
With Yoriichi Tsugikuni no longer around, Kokushibo is undoubtedly the most powerful swordsman in this world. Thanks to the physical enhancements and hyper regeneration he gained as a demon, he ranks among the most powerful beings in existence. Second only to Muzan himself.
As if that’s not enough, he also has a Blood Demon Art called the “Crescent Moon Blades” that allows him to create crescent blades at various sizes from his blood. When he combines this Blood Demon Art with his already unpredictable Moon Breathing Technique, the result is a barrage of chaotic attacks that can cut anything around him.
