Demon Slayerhas introduced us to several powerful demons, including Kokushibo, the Upper Moon One in Muzan’s army. Apart from him, we have seen the might of Gyutaro, Daki, Akaza, and, of course, Doma. Interestingly, we have also seen glimpses of the Demon King Muzan’s power in different instances. However, there’s still one demon, an Upper Moon, in fact, that has remained a mystery in the series.
Yes, we are talking about none other than Nakime, the demon who is currently sitting at the rank of Upper Moon Four. We have rarely seen Nakime in theDemon Slayeranime, and any time that we saw her, we failed to understand this demon’s astonishing abilities. Of course, Kokushibo or Upper Moons are more powerful, but we must realize that Nakime boasts the most impressive blood demon art.
Nakime’s Blood Demon Art Is Truly Extraordinary InDemon Slayer
We Will See The Full Extent Of Her Blood Demon Art InInfinity Castle
It’s true thatevery Upper Moon is important for Muzan; however, when it comes to the Blood Demon Art,Nakime surely serves the most important purpose.Other Upper Moon demons like Kokushibo are better fighters, but Nakime’s ability to control the Infinity Castle makes her stand out in the crowd. For the unacquainted, Infinity Castle doesn’t exist in the physical world, as it is apocket dimension created solely by Nakime. She used herincredible Blood Demon Art, which she triggers by playing her Biwa instrument, to create this massive, hidden, and untouched lair for her master and other demons. Also, let’s not forget that sunlight can’t reach Infinity Castle, so Muzan and other demons can roam freely within the Infinity Castle. Honestly, it wouldn’t have been possible for Muzan to stay hidden from the Demon Slayer Corps if not for Nakime.
Not only does Nakime create a pocket dimension that consists of an infinite number of floors and rooms, butshe can also control each and every part of Infinity Castle. That’s not the extent of it, asNakime can also manipulate the gravity inside this pocket dimension. Do you remember how Nakime sucked Tanjiro and the other Demon Slayers from the physical world into Infinity Castle? Well, that was something that even thestrongest of Demon Slayerscouldn’t prevent. And just like that, Nakime can manipulate the structure of the Infinite Castle in the blink of an eye.
“I am very honored."- Nakime (Upon being praised by Muzan)
Nakime can teleport herself or any other demon to a different part of the castle. In fact,she can use this ability to teleport someone in and out of the castle. We have seen her doing that with Hantengu and Gyokko when she teleported them to theSwordsmith Villagedirectly from the Infinity Castle. That’s why Nakime was also able to pull in Muzan and the Demon Slayers into the Infinity Castle. Muzan was having trouble at the Ubuyashiki Mansion, and at that moment, he could only trust the Blood Demon Art of Nakime.
Nakime’s Blood Demon Art Will Create A Lot Of Trouble For Demon Slayers
She Will Be The Last Upper Moon To Die InInfinity Castle
Obanai Iguro and Mitsuri Kanroji will try to take on Nakime during theInfinity Castle arc, and let’s just say that taking down this Upper Moon won’t be easy for the Hashiras. Apparently, Nakime will use the castle, an entire dimension, against the demon slayers. Every timeObanai and Mitsuriget close to Nakime, the demon will teleport them somewhere else or change their surrounding. While the Hashiras will put in their every effort to land a hit on Nakime, the demon will stall the duo until the very end.
Interestingly, every Upper Moon, including Kokushibo, will fall prey to the Demon Slayers, butNakime will survive until the very end. In fact, when Tanjiro and his allies move their attention towards Muzan, the demon lord seeks the help of the last-standing Upper Moon. Obanai barely gets out alive after Nakime drops a massive portion of the castle on him. At this point, even Hashiras realize that getting close to Nakime is a behemoth task, and it’s best for them to focus their attention towards Muzan. So, instead of trying to kill Nakime,Yushirotakes over Nakime’s vision. By doing that, Yushiro was able to use Nakime’s Blood Demon Art against Muzan.
That’s right; Muzan’s strongest weapon became his biggest threat. Muzan tried to retake control of Nakime’s mind, but he couldn’t take his feet off the battlefield. Even the Demon Lord finds it difficult to use his mind-control powers while engaging in direct combat with the Hashiras. However, the Infinity Castle becomes an obstacle for Muzan at this point,so he decides to kill Nakime himself.In the end, it wasn’t Tanjiro or any other demon slayer who killed Nakime; it was the Demon Lord himself.
