Gyokko

## Introduction

Gyokko is short tempered, shallow and arrogant, especially when it comes to things regarding his "art", as seen when he was easily enraged by Muichiro when he began to insult and make fun of the quality of his art and through his conversation with the Hashira, constantly praised himself as "beautiful" and his work even more so, further reinforcing his arrogant and narcissistic personality. His arrogance was most prominently displayed after he was beheaded by Muichiro Tokito, referring to the Mist Hashira as an inferior and lower life form while calling himself a superb and chosen being.

He has also shown himself to be incredibly petty and jealous, as seen when he attacked and mutilated Hotaru Haganezuka due to his jealousy of the latter focus and dedication to his work, surpassing his own zeal when working on his own art and made him want to instead make the latter lose his focus and waste time on the swordsmith due to this petty jealousy.

He is also shown to be incredibly morbid as when Doma told him he placed a human head on top of his pots like a plant, Gyokko immediately saw it as more inspiration for his "art", the extent of this morbid and violent inspiration for his "art" is shown even more when he brutally murdered several swordsmiths and used their corpses to create a "beautiful" piece by stitching their bodies together along with sticking several swords into them, this extreme sadism is shown even further when he built in the feature of them to scream when a sword is shoved deeper into his "artwork" implying that they were still alive.

### Character Details

As the holder of the fifth highest position in the Twelve Kizuki, Gyokko is an extremely powerful demon. His unique Blood Demon Art and techniques allow him to easily outclass the average demons and give him the necessary edge to overwhelm and kill even the Hashira, the most skilled and powerful swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps. As Upper Rank Five, Gyokko is more powerful than Gyutaro and Daki, the former having killed 15 Hashira and the latter having killed 7. Gyokko has displayed many impressive feats of strength. Most notably, in his duel with Muichiro Tokito, Gyokko was able to overpower and hold the Hashira back for the majority of their fight, even managing to bring him to the brink of death. If not for Gyokko's inherent egotistical nature and Muichiro awakening his Demon Slayer Mark, the Upper Rank would have more than likely been able to kill him.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques**:

* **Thousand Needle Fish Kill** ( *Senbonbari Gyosatsu*?) - Gyokko summons floating fish demons from his pots which spit out a barrage of poisnous needles. The poison contains paralyzing properties which immobilize the target.

* **Water Prison Pot** ( *Suigokubachi*?) - Gyokko creates a vase structure made out of water that traps the target. The water suffocates the target and prevents them from using any breathing technique, making it difficult for them to break free and escape.

* **Octopus Vase Hell** ( *Takotsubo Jigoku*?) - Gyokko manifest gigantic tentacles from his pots to restrain his targets. These tentacles are strong enough to destroy a shed and are noted to be extremely durable.

* **Ten Thousand Gliding Slime-Fish** ( *Ichiman Kakkūnengyo*?) - Gyokko summons a total ten thousand slime-fish from multiple pots to attack his target and eat them, leaving nothing but bones. When these fishes are cut, their severed bodies will spread a poisonous liquid before they turn to dust. The poison is also percutaneous meaning it can be absorbed through the skin. Once the poison is absorbed, the target presumably dies.

* **Killer Fish Scales** ( *Jinsatsu Gyorin*?) - In his true form, Gyokko delivers a wide-ranged barrage of physical attacks using his immense speed. This technique was powerful enough to decimate trees in the surrounding area.
