Flute Demon

## Familial Status

The **Flute Demon** (籥鬼, *Fue Oni*?) was a Demon exclusive to the Special One-Shot who desired to join the Twelve Kizuki. He was responsible for the deaths of a small group of Demon Slayers and innocent civilians.

## Appearance

The Flute Demon takes the appearance of a very elderly man with wrinkly skin, and incredibly long black downward-slanted eyebrows. He has long slanted eyes with black scleras similar to the Serpent Demon with the traditional fangs of a demon.

His attire consisted of a flower-patterned kataginu-sleeveless robe tied to one side by a white ribbon and long white kimono with a thick black frame at the cuffs. He has long black sashibuki/nu-bakama pants similar in appearance to the Demon Slayer Corps members with geta shoes. As well as this, he wears a black Japanese saggy cap with a tassel at the end.

## Personality

Not much can be said from the Flute Demon's personality other than he has been shown to be fairly arrogant when he believed that Kyojuro alone as reinforcements wouldn't be enough to defeat him. Along with this, he also has the incredibly sadistic and homicidal perspective of a demon as he only focused on his victims going to "hell" as well as him having a joyful attitude on horrible situations such as him sucking out internal organs of multiple children and murdering multiple Demon Slayers in front of them.

## Synopsis

### Special One-Shot

The Flute Demon sits atop a rock, admiring the corpses of his victims. Kyojuro arrives at the scene and the demon smiles at his appearance, confident that he alone will not be able to defeat him. The Flute Demon taunts him with tales of his previous killings, reveling in the misery he has caused. Kyojuro rushes forward, determined to put an end to the demon's reign of terror. The Flute Demon dodges Kyojuro's opening attack and plays his flute, causing Kyojuro to slam his ears shut in response. The Flute Demon taunts him by describing his abilities in detail, claiming that he has now fallen victim to its sound, and summoning wolf-like entities to kill him.

As the wolves close in on him, Kyojuro, reminiscing on the efforts the fallen Demon Slayer must have endured before dying to the demon's attack, instantly rushes forward and kills both of the wolves with his Flame Breathing. The Flute Demon, too stunned after seeing his opponent's sudden power, sits in shock as the Demon Slayer uses **Flame Breathing, Fifth Form: Flame Tiger**, beheading him instantly. As his head rolls on the floor, the demon realizes that Kyojuro must have ruptured his own eardrums to avoid hearing his flute, before angrily ranting that he was supposed to join the Twelve Kizuki.

## Abilities

### Overall Abilities

Due to him being able to easily evade Kyojuro's first attack as well as him killing nine Demon Slayers, he was incredibly powerful compared to the average demon. In addition, due to him stating that he would soon join the Twelve Kizuki, it can be assumed that his strength is near equal to that of a Lower Rank.

## Fighting Style

### Blood Demon Art

   **Flute Spells:** The Flute Demon's main ability is to conjure a special flute that when played, enacts various effects.

* **Nervous System Disruption:** When his flute is played, it disrupts the nervous system of his opponents (if they try move one of their feet, their head will move instead, if they attempt to move one of their hands, their feet will move, etc.), thus making it nearly impossible to accurately move.
* **Wolf Manipulation:** This demon can also use his flute to summon 2 black wolves and command them to kill his opponents. It is unsure whether he can summon more than 2 demonic wolves.
