Summary[]
Gyutaro is one of the primary antagonists in the Red Light District Arc of Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is a demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, holding the position of Upper Kizuki Six, a position he shares with his younger sister, Daki. As a Demon Moon, Gyutaro is one of the closest servants of the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, whose main purpose is to find the Blue Spider Lily so that Muzan can gain immunity from the sun.
Over a century ago, Gyutaro was a human who worked as a debt collector in the Rashomon Riverbank of Yoshiwara, Tokyo, the lowest class in the Red Light District, previously living in harsh conditions especially for his physical appearance. His life became somewhat better at the birth of his sister (at the time known as Ume), though things quickly turned to worse when Daki turned thirteen where she stabbed a samurai in the eye for insulting her brother, causing her to be tied up and burned. Later, the two injured siblings were turned into demons personally by Doma, who was the previous Upper Kizuki Six at the time, with the siblings growing strong enough to take up their current position by present times.
Powers and Stats[]
Dimensionality: 3D
Threat Level: Wolf+
Powers and Abilities: Demon Physiology, Immortality (Type 8; by leaving a "core" piece of his body inside Daki, Gyutaro can remain alive unless both are decapitated simultaneously), Expert kama user, Body Control (Created his kama's out of his flesh and blood. Can twist his own neck in order intercept attacks behind him. He can leave a "core" piece of himself (ex. an eye) in that of his sister so as to see what she sees and even better coordinate their attacks together), Blood Manipulation and Poison Manipulation (His Blood Demon Art uses his own blood to form blood slashes and is concentrated enough to even act as poison, which would have killed Inosuke and Tengen despite their respective resistance to poison had Nezuko not use her Blood Art to neutralize it in time. Even a single scratch from one attack was deemed dangerous enough for Inosuke to actively avoid them), Limited Healing (Healed and reattached Daki's decapitated head back to her body as well as the burn marks on her face), Fusionism (Can fuse with his sister, allowing him to remain dormant and hide inside her body without anyone noticing his presence)
Physical Strength: At least Small Building level
Attack Potency: At least Small Building (Stronger than his sister. Killed over twice the number of Hashira than his sister did. Easily kept up with both Tanjiro Kamado and Tengen Uzui, even taking off one of the latter's hands. Muzan states that Gyutaro, who he considers as the true Upper Kizuki Six, would have been able to kill Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, Nezuko, and Tengen had he simply fought by himself though it was also stated his poison would have helped in that matter. His headless body was still active long enough to do this to the surroundings)
Durability: At least Small Building (Should be more durable than his sister. Neither Tengen nor Tanjiro were able to slice through his sickles, even twisting his own neck to stop a following attack from the former with his teeth. Tanjiro needed to summon "a hundred times his strength" in order to even get through to cutting his neck, something he was only able to achieve through awakening his Demon Mark)
Speed: At least Supersonic (Casually dodged a direct fatal attack from Tengen Uzui, while also saving his sister Daki in the process, all of this happening while in mid-transformation out of her body. Tengen also considered Gyutaro to be fast, whereas Tengen can casually blitz Daki before she could react. Can keep up with Tengen and Post-Rehabilitation Tanjiro at the same time, outpacing the former and blitzing the latter during the fight. Is so fast that he appears to teleport, appearing in front of Tanjiro despite the latter looking at him. Also fast enough to disappear mid-way through his and Tengen's attacks, appearing the next on top of a nearby building)
Intelligence: High (Gyutaro displays incredible tactical foresight and intelligence. He is able to use the information gathered from both himself and Daki to better coordinate their attacks and was able to quickly figure out Tengen's bombs had enough power to harm even their bodies. Gyutaro was also able to use his Blood Demon Art tactically to create inescapable attacks. After seeing Hinatsuru fire a barrage of kunai, Gyutaro correctly surmised that mounting an attack that would normally be easily mitigated by his regeneration had an underlying motive and chose to deflect the attack rather than taking it head on. He is also shown to use his flesh manipulation ability in creative ways, such as trapping Tengen's and Tanjiro's blade in his flesh Kama to keep them from moving. Lastly, Gyutaro figured out Tanjiro's strategy which was to disguise the scent of the wisteria-laced kunai with a prostitute's incense bag in order to land a surprise attack on him)
Stamina: Limitless (Demons don't ever get exhausted)
Range: Melee range with sickles, up to hundreds of meters with Blood Demon Art (His final
Weakness: Most Demon Physiology Weaknesses (While Gyutaro and Daki can still die from severing their necks, this can only be done if both are beheaded at the same time. Otherwise, they will remain alive)
Arsenal[]
His dual kama's.
Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities[]
Blood Manipulation: Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art. He uses his own blood from which they can be conjured up through various means, either by his sickles, his open wounds, or simply by will through his blood veins. Due to being a Demon, and an Upper Kizuki at that, it is likely that Gyutaro cannot run out of blood due to his regenerative abilities, allowing him to continuously spawn his attacks without end. In combat, Gyutaro usually forms his blood in the form of sickle-based slashes, launching them at high speeds that can keep even the likes of Tengen at bay as well as Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu. Additionally, his blood is also poisonous to the point that Inosuke would die were to be scratched by them, and Tengen himself was affected by it throughout the fight even with his own resistance fighting it off. Furthermore, the blood attacks are also strong enough that Tanjiro states his blade would shatter if he took it head on, needing instead to parry or deflect it away.
- Flying Blood Sickles: A technique that releases multiple sharp and durable sickle-shaped blades of solidified blood by swinging his kama. Gyutaro can also freely manipulate them if they're still out in the open, using them to launch towards his target at will.
- Rampant Arc Rampage: Gyutaro creates a dome of sickle-shaped blades of solidified blood around him that defend from incoming attacks.
- Rotating Circular Slashes: Flying Blood Sickles: Gyutaro's strongest attack. As the name implies, it unleashes circular waves of sharp solidified blood from his body similar to his normal Flying Blood Sickles attack. This technique has massive range as stated by Tengen, and can be done without swinging his arms or kama's around. Even after being decapitated, Gyutaro could still activate it one last time, with its final usage strong enough to wreck several of the Entertainment District's buildings in his immediate surroundings.
