	~ Nezuko Kamado

Nezuko Kamado is the deuteragonist and main female protagonist of the Demon Slayer franchise.

Background

Nezuko grew up on a mountain alongside her older brother, Tanjiro, and the rest of her siblings and mother, as the eldest daughter of the Kamado family. She presumably took care of her younger siblings as an assistant to her mother, as is briefly witnessed prior to her family’s death. Unlike Tanjiro, who was responsible for selling firewood in town, Nezuko would usually help out around the family home. The family was somewhat poor and, as a result, Nezuko sometimes had to go without things like new clothes in order to ensure that the rest of her siblings had enough food to eat. She did not appear to view this as a burden, and instead was simply just content with helping her family. After a Demon attacked and killed almost her entire family, Nezukomis turned into a Demon by the orchestrator of said attack, Muzan Kibutsuji. At first, she is wild and even attacks her single remaining brother, however she quickly comes to her senses and swiftly jumps in to defend him from Giyu Tomioka when the Hashira tries to harm him. Following her awakening after their short fight and her brother receiving instructions from Giyu to find a man named “Sakonji Urokodaki,” Nezuko is taken by Tanjiro to first bury and pay their respects to their deceased family. She then hides in a nearby cave, since the sun has risen, and waits for her brother to find something to carry her in so they can travel by day. After Tanjiro completed his training and succeeded in the Final Selection, he makes a box for he to be in to avoid the sun, they both travel around and meets both Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira, two fellow demon slayers and the four starts traveling and doing missions together.

Powers & Abilities

• Abnormal Demon Physiology: Nezuko has several unique traits that set her apart from all other demons. Most notably, Nezuko can continuously restore her power without consuming any human blood like any other demon would need to do. Instead, she recovers her strength through sleep alone, though she would have to spend a lot of time sleeping in order to recuperate and regain her power. Moreover, Nezuko has an extraordinary growth rate, as shown multiple times when she grows stronger without any training or consuming humans. This ability is shown to trigger even in the midst of battle and with huge power boosts. Her rapid growth in power was first displayed during her battle against Susamaru; though her foot was initially blown off by the Temari Demon's ball attack, upon regenerating, she was able to take the force of her attack and engage the demon in a back-and-forth skirmish that she was even able to come out of triamphunt.
  • Advanced Demon Form: Nezuko has the ability to enter a berserk state where she becomes more demonic in appearance, transforming into an adult version of herself with vine-like tattoos that circle her body, a single horn protruding from her right forehead side. Nezuko's physical capabilities in this state are drastically increased to the point where she could sever Daki's limbs by stomping on them and kick her from extremely far distances, destroying multiple buildings in the process. Her regenerative abilities also become on par with those of the Upper Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki. When she first awakened this ability in her fight with Daki, she became frenzied in battle, lost her usual restraint to human blood, and only reverted back to normal when Tanjiro sung her a lullaby. She eventually became able to transform into her Advanced Demon Form while maintaining her usual composure and keep herself from feeding on or attacking humans.
  • Sunlight Immunity: Like all demons, Nezuko was initially weak to sunlight, and her body would completely disintegrate should she be exposed to it. As a result, she could only go out during the night or areas with low sunlight. During her battle with Hantengu, she suddenly managed to develop an immunity to sunlight, allowing her to be active regardless of whether she was in the sun or not, and giving her the title of "The Chosen Demon" (選ばれし鬼 Erabareshi Oni^?) by Muzan Kibutsuji.
  • Blood Control: In addition to her Blood Demon Art, Nezuko has shown in her Advanced Demon Form to have control of her own blood's viscosity. When her limbs and head were severed and she was going to be attacked by Daki further, Nezuko managed to control her limbs and head by congealing and solidifying the blood spraying from them before the streams could break apart. She was able to command her limbs to grab and stop Daki's sashes, and, even though it was done with floating, severed limbs connected by blood, she was able to do it with such strength that the sashes were stopped dead in their tracks. She was then able to pull all of her limbs back together through those blood streams, allowing her body to regenerate.
  • Immense Regeneration: As a demon, Nezuko has enhanced regenerative abilities that allow her to heal in the blink of an eye. When she first became a demon, her regeneration was relatively slow compared to other demons, taking a few moments to heal her wounds. However, once in her awakened state, her regeneration ability evolved to the point it matched the caliber of the Upper Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki, allowing her to reconnect her whole torso and body parts as well as regrow her arms and legs instantaneously. Daki noted that Nezuko's regeneration surpassed her own.
  • Size Alteration: Upon being transformed into a demon, Nezuko displayed the basic ability to change and alter her body's size and height. She was able to shrink herself into the physical size of a small child in order to fit inside a small box or a basket, and could also enlarge herself into a much bigger form.
  • Immense Strength: Nezuko possesses naturally enhanced physical strength as a demon. Even after her recent transformation and with little sleep to recover, she was strong enough to decapitate the Temple Demon with a kick. Nezuko punched the Swamp Demon hard enough to cause him to cough blood, and was capable of overwhelming the demon with powerful punches and kicks. As she has no previous combative experience, Nezuko relies on brute strength, using her legs as her main weapon to deliver fast and strong kicks. She has also been shown to increase her strength in battles during dire situations, like strengthening her legs to kick back Susamaru's handballs despite having her legs torn off by them earlier. In her Advanced Demon Form, she could pierce through Daki's durable body with a single kick and was able to hold down her obi with her bare limbs; these same obi were powerful enough to wreak massive destruction across a city. In her battle against Upper Rank Four Hantengu, Nezuko was capable of attacking the demon's clones on equal grounds, kicking Karaku's mouth and partially severing his head, grappling with Aizetsu, and leap high enough into the air to save Tanjiro Kamado when Zohakuten's giant dragons tried to crush him.
• Combustible Blood: Nezuko's Blood Demon Art allows her to combust her blood into pink-colored flames at will. Her flames have a special property which makes them only harmful to demons, objects belonging to demons, and Blood Demon Arts while being completely harmless to humans and other objects. These flames can hamper the regeneration of other demons, as shown when Daki's burns took much longer to heal than traditional wounds. Nezuko's Blood Demon Art was also able to neutralize Gyutaro's poison to save Inosuke Hashibira and Tengen Uzui from dying. Her flames also have the ability to temporarily turn Nichirin Swords bright red, increasing the strength of attacks inflicted by them. A drawback to Nezuko's Blood Demon Art is that overuse of it can cause her to fall asleep.
  • Exploding Blood: Nezuko can ignite the blood that has exited her body, turning it into crimson-pinkish flames that are harmful to demons.
• Techniques:
  • Heel Bash: Nezuko flips into the air and with the momentum of the flip unleashes a downward axe-kick. The axe-kick itself is powerful enough to cause a small crater in the terrain.
    • Exploding Blood Heel Bash: A stronger variation of Heel Bash where Nezuko "teleports" into the air and unleashes a downward axe-kick with great force, creating a surge of crimson-pink flames upon contact with the terrain.
  • Crazy Scratching: Nezuko unleashes a rampage of overlapping slashes with her nails covered with the crimson-pink flames of her Blood Demon Art until it finishes with a larger X-shaped slash with both her arms.
  • Flying Kick: Nezuko jumps in the air and quickly dashes toward her enemy. As she gets near her opponent, she then backflips using the momentum to kick her opponent high into the air.
  • Nails of Fury: Nezuko unleashes a powerful uppercut scratch with trails of her pink flames being left behind.
  • Exploding Blood Strike: Nezuko lunges forwards and performs a knife hand thrust that leaves a trail of pink flames.
  • Frenzied Kicks:- Nezuko releases two upward kicks followed up by a horizontal rotating kick right after.
  • Fiery Slash: Nezuko unleashes an X-shaped scratch that engulfs her target into a whirlwind of pink flames and retreats back.
  • Drop Kick: Nezuko dashes forwards at blinding speeds to simulate teleportation and performs a powerful drop kick with just one leg.
  • Spin Kick: Nezuko charges forwards and unleashes a lateral spinning vertical kick to slam her opponent to the ground, causing a large explosion of crimson-pink flames as a result.
  • Exploding Blood, Rupture: Nezuko performs a drop kick at her opponent and drags them along the ground, followed up with a series of scratches from left to right and vice versa that slowly engulfs the ground on fire before finishing it off with a destructive axe-kick, uprooting and igniting the ground into crimson-pink flames.
• Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combat: Despite having no known fighting experience prior to becoming a demon, Nezuko is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. Her fighting style mainly revolves around the use of her powerful legs to deliver devastating blows and her sharp nails. Since transforming into a demon, she has been a major contributor to battles fought by Tanjiro, frequently assisting in the occasion that he is overwhelmed by an opponent.
