Who is Doma?
DoDoma (Douma) is Upper Rank Two of the Twelve Kizuki, making him the third most powerful demon in existence under Muzan Kibutsuji. A charismatic cult leader with ice-based powers, he embodies deceptive charm and terrifying cruelty.
Key Traits:
- Cult Leader: Heads the Eternal Paradise Faith, manipulating followers as both “savior” and predator
- Ice Specialist: Wields cryokinetic Blood Demon Art
- Notable Victims: Killed Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kocho (Insect/Flower Hashira)
- Personal Connection: Consumed Inosuke’s mother Kotoha Hashibira
Doma’s role in the anime is primarily to serve Muzan Kibutsuji. He is fiercely loyal to Muzan and follows his orders without question. His main mission is to consume humans, particularly young girls, to maintain his strength and longevity. This gruesome task is a stark contrast to his peaceful demeanor, further highlighting the duality of his character.
What does Doma look like?
Doma presents a striking and deceptive physical appearance. With long, white hair and captivating rainbow pastel eyes, he is a handsome demon. His irises bear the kanji for Upper Moon Two. Always adorned in a crimson-colored turtleneck, he carries an air of calmness and serenity. Sharp gold fans engraved with a lotus design serve as his primary weapons, adding to the visual allure. Despite this appealing exterior, Douma’s true demonic nature remains hidden, underscoring the duality of his character.

What is Doma’s Backstory?
Early Life:
- Born with polychromatic eyes, worshipped as divine
- Witnessed parents’ murder-suicide without emotion
- Turned by Muzan at age 20
Cult Activities:
- Limited membership to 250 to avoid detection

One important aspect was fifteen years before the main story, when Douma encountered Kotoha Hashibira, a woman seeking refuge from an abusive family. Impressed by her beauty and singing voice, Doma invited Kotoha into the Eternal Paradise cult. However, tragedy struck when Kotoha stumbled upon Doma devouring his victims. In a desperate attempt to protect her son Inosuke, she threw him into a river before being consumed by Doma. Inosuke survived and was subsequently raised by a female boar.
What are Doma’s Powers and Fighting Styles?
Overall Abilities:
As the holder of the second-highest ranking member of the Twelve Kizuki and the third most powerful demon to have ever existed, Doma is exceptionally powerful. His combination of combative prowess and potent cryokinetic Blood Demon Art allows him to overwhelm and defeat formidable opponents. Notably, he effortlessly defeated the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, and the late Flower Hashira, Kanae Kocho. Even when facing both Inosuke and Kanao, who are on par with the Hashira, simultaneously, Doma showed minimal effort.
Doma’s superiority extends to his fellow Upper Rank demon, Akaza, whom he confidently claims would have no chance in defeating him. His immense power allows him to adopt a casual and carefree attitude even in life-and-death situations against the most powerful Hashiras in Demon Slayers, only becoming serious when his life is genuinely at risk.
Apathy:
Doma is clinically diagnosed as apathetic, unable to experience human emotions. Despite his lack of emotional capacity, he maintains a friendly and carefree facade. Kanao, the Insect Hashira, is the only individual able to see through this facade due to her exceptional eyesight. Doma’s inability to feel emotions serves as an advantage, allowing him to process, understand, and analyze situations without emotional hindrance. This trait enables him to swiftly devise solutions in the face of adversaries.
Keen Intellect:
Doma exhibits exceptional intelligence, evident in his ability to deduce and analyze various situations. During a fast-paced battle with Kanao, he accurately discerns her abilities and develops a counter-strategy. Additionally, he demonstrates keen observational skills, such as deducing Inosuke’s acute sense of touch. Doma’s intellect is further emphasized by his ability to deceive his followers over a century, showcasing remarkable memory and strategic thinking.
Demon Abilities:
Biological Absorption:
Doma demonstrated the ability to absorb human bodies through physical contact, exemplified by his swift breakdown and assimilation of Shinobu’s body within seconds of killing her. This capability serves as a rapid method of consuming humans during battle, allowing him to utilize it as an alternative to traditional feeding.
Immense Regeneration:
As an Upper Rank demon, Doma possesses one of the most advanced and potent regenerative healing factors. When Akaza inflicted a severe attack, punching off both Doma’s lower jaw and the upper portion of his head, Doma effortlessly and swiftly regenerated, even perceiving the fatal attack as a casual gesture. Moreover, he rapidly recovered from Shinobu’s relentless Wisteria poison attacks and a deep slash in his abdomen, resulting in spilled guts. Even after absorbing Shinobu’s body, along with ingesting over 37 kilograms of poison (approximately 700 times the lethal amount for an average demon), adverse effects took a considerable amount of time to manifest.
Reactive Adaptation:
During the intense battle against Shinobu, Doma showcased the ability to break down and render all the various poison mixtures injected by Shinobu ineffective. This immediate development of antibodies to her poison left Shinobu astonished at how rapidly Doma built resistance to what would typically be a fatal toxin. Doma’s reactive adaptation further emphasizes the formidable nature of his regenerative and defensive capabilities.
Physical Abilities:
Immense Durability:
Doma, as an Upper Rank demon infused with a substantial amount of Muzan’s blood, exhibits remarkable durability. This resilience is evident when Kanao struggled to slice Doma’s neck, even as his body disintegrated due to an intense poison dosage. The successful decapitation only occurred when Inosuke employed his swords to assist Kanao in piercing Doma’s neck.
Immense Speed & Reflexes:
Possessing inhuman movement speed and reflexes, Doma can move so swiftly that he appears to teleport. Comparisons suggest that Doma’s speed surpasses Akaza, who matched a Marked Giyu, and Gyutaro, overpowering Tengen—the fastest among the current Hashira generation. Initially showcased during the Upper Rank meeting, Doma seemingly teleported to Gyokko, catching him off guard. Additionally, when Akaza destroyed Doma’s head from behind, Doma claimed the ability to have easily evaded it but chose not to, expressing a desire for camaraderie..
Unlimited Stamina & Endurance:
Doma possesses absolute and boundless stamina and vitality, never succumbing to fatigue and consistently maintaining optimal physical and mental condition. Demonstrating near-complete immunity to violent attacks from fellow Upper Rank Akaza, eye slashes from Inosuke, repeated poisonings and stabbings by Shinobu, a slashed-open stomach by Kanao, and various forms of self-harm, Doma remains unfazed. Notably, he never exhibits the slightest hint of pain, discomfort, or panic when grievously wounded, seamlessly continuing his actions as if unaffected by the onslaught.
Supernatural Abilities
Extrasensory Perception:
Doma’s extraordinary sensory abilities enable him to detect attacks beyond normal perception, nullifying the effectiveness of sneak attacks. He can also sense transformations, as seen when detecting Akaza’s transformation into a demon immune to decapitation.
