==Summary==
Doryu, better known as "Pumpkin Doryu", and fearsomely reputed as the "Ruler of Night", was the leader of Doryu Ghost Attack Squad, one of the organizations who rose to power during Demon Card's temporary crisis. Doryu was born one of the Demon Gods, the highest and most powerful beings in the Demon World. However, his love for humans and desire to create peace between them and Demon had him cast away his status and travel to the human world. Here, through long efforts and dedication, he managed to create from nothing (as well as become the mayor of) his ideal town, Albesk, where the two races were to live peacefully together. However, tension was quick to arise between humans and Demons, degenerating into ruckuses which soon drove all Sentinoids away from the town. Doryu was the only one to remain in Albesk, not wanting to leave the town he created, and still clinging to his dream of peace. However, he suffered continuous abuses at humans' hands, having his house burnt and a human mayor elected in his place; eventually, the citizens locked Doryu in the darkest cell in town. After 100 days spent in that dark and silent dungeon, the former Demon God felt something in his hand: Vampire, one of Mother Dark Bring Sinclaire' pieces, which allegedly "chose" him. Having escaped his cell with this new-found power, driven into darkness by human cruelty, Doryu left, wanting to create a dark world where no human could survive. He also made sure to transfer the remains of Albesk on his flagship, Creature.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Dark Magic: Doryu's greatest asset aside from his Mother Dark Bring is his mastery over high-level Dark Magic, which he can employ for a variety of purposes. First and foremost, it endows him with dangerous offensive spells focused around the Darkness attribute, letting him bombard groups of foes and cause great destruction. Other uses include summoning magic weapons to use in melee, generating illusions, communicating remotely with those aboard Creature (doing so by manifesting a miniature version of the airship, enclosed in a dark orb, in his hand) and even raising the dead, giving them new life.
*Necromancy: Doryu is a necromancer, one capable of granting life to dead bodies, effectively resurrecting their owners as "zombies". He employed this power of him to bring back the notorious murderer Crush Cookie, making him one of his subordinates. The process not only restored Cookie's body to a life-like condition (albeit leaving it cold as a dead body is supposed to be, in turn making it extremely resistant) and allowed it to function normally, but also returned the man's memories. However, Doryu's "zombies" are susceptible to sunlight, and exposing them to it even for a brief moment will cause them to be "purified", vanishing into ashes.
*Twilight Sword: By drawing ethereal glyphs in the air with one hand, Doryu causes a magic sword to appear in that very hand. He can wield such blade in battle, employing it as a normal sword, with one added advantage: being imbued with Dark Magic, the wounds inflicted by this weapon get worse as night approaches, aching deeply and remaining open. At night, treatment gradually becomes a harder if not impossible option, eventually leading to the victim's death. The Twilight Sword is a long, slender double-edged sword with a straight blue blade, which was shown secreting a dark substance when Doryu explained its powers. It sports a grayish crossguard (with a triangular black section extending over the blade itself) adorned by six purple spikes curving towards the blade; the largest two are located at the end of the crossguard's arms, while the other, smaller pairs sit around the blade itself. The hilt and pommel are purple as well, with the latter being covered in rounded, straight spikes. The weapon's blade was broken in two by a particularly powerful slash from Haru's Eisenmeteor.
*Jet Black Sword: This is the other weapon summoned by Doryu following the destruction of his Twilight Sword. To use it, the Ruler of Night wasn't shown drawing any glyph, instead calling its name to have it appear in his hand in a puff of smoke. The blade is, once again, long, slender, double-edged and dark in color, but the light hilt and crossguard, covered in spiralling dark motifs, are now radically different, resembling those of a sabre, with one of the arms curving an elongating downwards to join the pommel and protect Doryu's hand, while the other juts upwards towards the blade. According to Doryu's statements, this sword is stronger than his Twilight Sword; however, Haru snapped it in two with a swing of his Gravity Core before the Ruler of Night had a chance to demonstrate its powers.
*Nightmare Spread: A notorious, extremely destructive spell which Doryu performs by lifting his hands into the air, generating a floating dark orb which gradually grows in size. This technique has a considerable cast time; however, Doryu can prevent foes from approaching with Vampire, allowing him to perform it without hindrances. Once the casting is complete, Nightmare Spread covers the surrounding area in a large dome of darkness, swallowing every opponent in its path and destroying them. Before this spell, even the sword Runesave is ineffective, incapable of cutting through it. However, due to the dome being focused around the Darkness attribute, anyone possessing it will be left unscathed, making the Dark Trance spell the natural counter to this technique.
*Darkness Weight: Doryu lifts an arm in the air, instantly gathering a spiralling mass of Dark Magic above him, and the sending it flying against his targets. This spell, unlike Nightmare Spread, cannot be shielded against with Darkness affinity due to its great "weight", which Doryu described as more than "400 Megatons". While this should make it susceptible to Runesave's ethereal cutting, the Ruler of Night is able to control the orb's movements through remote hand gestures, maximizing the chance to strike targets. Upon impact, Darkness Weight engulfs the victim into a large, spherical explosion, causing great damage to the surrounding area as well.

Demon God Form: Doryu made claim that, at night, he turns back into a Demon as part of his "Night Contract". This statement was proven to be true during his fight with the Rave Warriors: it was by opening the vault of Creature and absorbing the darkness from the night sky above that an enraged Doryu was able to transform, regaining the appearance and, most notably, the incredible power of a Demon God that are rightfully his. In such state, Doryu bulks up considerably, matching his considerable height with sheer mass. This form seems to enhance Doryu's already impressive durability, having him react to the extremely destructive Mini Etherion with little more than annoyance.
*Evil Blizzard: Pointing one of his arms towards the targeted area, Doryu causes it to be struck by a storm of black lightning, pouring down from above his foes to electrocute them, and possessing enough power to shatter rock. While Rune Save technically grants the ability to cut through the lightning, its sheer amount makes it extremely challenging to do so.
*Schwartz End: Doryu's strongest technique, a life-absorbing spell and a form of Prohibited Dark Magic, making it unholy even by his standards. The Demon God points his outstretched arms at his opponent, the palms open, and chants out an incantation in an unknown language. Once the casting phase is completed, a vast magical aura is generated around him, striking everything it comes across with great force, and slowly draining life away from any encountered living being; the first to succumb being plants. Despite this spell's fearsome power, Haru, empowered by the Rave of Knowledge, was able to slice through it with Rune Save; a feat which was compared to a "miracle", further hinting at this technique's immense power. "Schwartz End" is German for "Black End".

Vampire: This is one of the five Mother Dark Brings. This highly versatile piece of Sinclaire, in particular, grants control over gravity, allowing Doryu to harness the opposite powers of attraction and repulsion. By attracting himself towards his foes (or, in turn, by attracting them towards him), he can instantaneously get in melee range, at the same time nullifying any attack the victim might be performing. By employing his repulsion, Doryu is capable of virtually negating any physical attack, preventing them from connecting with him, as well as to keep foes at bay while he casts his spell. A second, more subtle use of Vampire comes when the gravitational forces are applied all around a target. This process seemingly tears physical matter away from the victim, opening holes al over their body and rapidly reducing them to nothingness; something which Doryus describes as "being pulled into the darkness". The Ruler of Night's statements, however, are only meant to instill fear into his opponents' heart, as this technique doesn't kill its target: instead, it seems to merely transfer them somewhere else, as shown from Musica reappearing unharmed (albeit transformed due to Mummy's experiments) after being struck by Doryu. This renders it akin to the recurring idea of a black hole, a point of extreme gravity which sucks everything in. The whole thing brought upon viewers and victims' sight while this process takes place is an illusion, which the target can escape by moving fast enough, nullifying the entire technique.
