Needle Blood Demon Art

Needle Blood Demon Art, is the Blood Demon Art used by Haruka Nishimiya, a member of the new generation of the Twelve Kizuki, holding the position, Lower Moon One.

## Overview

As the name alludes, it allows Haruka to create needles out of her own blood, and freely control them on her will. She can also change its size and amplify the strength of these needles. These needles are notably very sharp and can be used to sting opponents. These needles contain massive levels of venom, which can instantly kill her opponents, once it is injected, unless the opponent possesses resistance to poison.

Haruka can generate unlimited needles and can freely change it's size. She could also manipulate and change the temperatures of these needles freely, making them extremely hot and cold. Haruka can also form anything, with these needles, and manipulate it, using her blood. Additionally, Haruka can slice anything, with these needles, although harder objects require more energy. Haruka is also highly capable of combining these needles, to form substances.

This was seen when she formed crystals, out of her own flesh out of these needles. Haruka could also telekinetically control these needles, and control the appearance of these needles. Thus, she can also make these needles invisible. She can also make these needles hold additional threads, although the thread was fashioned from her blood.

As needles are used for sewing, these needles could also be used to tighten her enemy's clothes, to immobilize her opponents, as seen when she sewed and tightened the threads too hard, that it became capable of immobilizing Demon Slayers in combat. These needles are most notably painful, poisonous, but are extremely brittle, allowing it to emit poison.

## Usage

Like **Hajime Homura**, Haruka believed her Blood Demon Art was weak, and thus, she trained herself in different modes of combat. Afterwards, she honed her Blood Demon Art to a massive level, but not as honed as Hajime's. She has honed and fully utilized her Blood Demon Art's capabilities.

She primarly uses it to tighten the clothes of Demon Slayers, to immobilize them, giving her room to attack. Additionally, she has created numerous techniques, such as her main technique, called Needle Rain. She also uses it to sting opponents, and paralyze them.

Afterwards, Haruka stabs them with these needles. She also uses these needles as her primary weapon in combat. These needles have a massive amount of poison, which is tremendously violent and brutal, although Haruka could change the effects of the poison however she pleases.

## **Techniques**

Haruka has worked extremely hard, to develop and strengthen her Blood Demon Art.

**Color Crystal Needles:** Haruka generates exceptionally long needle crystals, which each has a different color. These needles can release extremely poisonous and suffocating gasses, and are as hard as steel. Initially, it releases tremendous amounts of acid and poison, which is absorbed through the veins of the target, leading them to death. This is similar to Gyokko's Ten Thousand Gliding Fish.

**Needle Amplify:** Haruka summons and generates small needles, which she controls the direction of. These needles are telekinetically controlled by her, and she amplifies the strength of these needles, using her flesh. These needles emit poisonous gasses, from her gaseous blood, which is slightly weaker than Hajime. Due to this poisonous gas, it can make the air more suffocating.

**Flame Needles:** Due to the intense heat it possesses, Haruka's needles are called Flame Needles, and can burn down humans. Haruka has complete control over it, meaning it cannot backfire on her.

**Freezing Needle Circle:** Haruka summons and generates needles, out of her blood, and changes the temperature of these needles to make them exceptionally cold. Haruka then forms circles of these needles, to stab the opponent in a circular manner. Initially, the cold temperatures of these needle circles is enough to immobilize opponents. This is considered to be the same as Hajime's Frost Crow Crystal Circle Technique.

**Needle Butterfly:** Haruka generates immense amounts of needles, and manipulates it's shape to the point of looking like a butterfly. However, it is only a shape. Haruka can amplify the strength and change the size of these needle butterflies, and uses it to slice her opponents in a butterfly manner. These needle butterflies can weaken and paralyze her opponents, no matter how much poison resistance her opponents have.

**Needles of Frostfire:** Haruka combines two extremely large needles. She changes the temperature of the first needle to be extremely cold, and then, changes the temperature of the next needle to be extremely hot like flames. Afterwards, she combines it together, and directs these needles as projectiles. The combined solution creates a frostfire.

Dance of Poison Needles: This is similar to Butterfly Dance: Caprice, as Haruka leaps into the air, and generates needles, which she masterfully stabs and injects into the targets, dosing them with immense amounts of poison.

**Cloth Tighten:** A technique, which is noted to be exceptionally useful. As the name alludes, Haruka generates invisible cloths and threads, and sews the fabric of her opponent's cloth with tremendous speeds, before they can react. This tightens the clothes of the opponent, and thus, they are immobilized. Afterwards, Haruka summons extremely large needles, to kill the opponent with the poison of the needles. The poison of the needles goes to the target's veins, leading them to death.

## Weaknesses

When Haruka is weakened, the poison in the needles are weakened, as well as the needles itself. It requires Haruka's blood, to generate the needles, and thus, she cannot generate needles without using her blood. It also drains her energy and her strength, after she amplifies her needles, depending on how strong she created the needle to be.

Additionally, the effects of the needles are longer, depending on the enemy's strength. Unlike Hajime's crows, it contains some of Haruka's scent, which means it could be sensed. Harder objects will require more energy to be drained from Haruka, after she slices the objects with her needles.

## Trivia

Her Blood Demon Art was inspired by an ability of evil deities, known as the Upper Class Demigods, and Lower Class Demigods, as well as the techniques.
