Demon With No Name

An analysis on Upper Moon Two: Douma

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba spoilers!!

Hello! ❤ I wanted to discuss the significance on Douma’s real name never being revealed to us in the KNY story.

I’d love it if you guys could share your thoughts on this with me please!

Continuar lendo

I've been thinking about the moment where Douma suddenly confesses an attraction to Shinobu while the two were in limbo. It's short, and semi-serious, but I think it's a genuine - and tragic - feeling on Douma's part, and it hits him right at this moment.

From his earliest memories, Douma has been surrounded by suffering people, people who latched onto him for peace. He was raised to believe that he lived alone in a world of suffering people, and that his purpose was nothing but to ease their pain. There was no room for himself as a person. He had to be a saviour. People needed him. They latched onto a child and drained him dry emotionally so they could feel better, because they were dependant.

But Shinobu doesn't need him, not even for revenge, not anymore. Shinobu is content.

Douma is entranced. He took to Kotoha, Inosuke's mother, and liked her well enough to want her around, but she was still a dependant, like the rest of his followers. She was still a suffering person who relied upon him like everyone else. She fit neatly into his warped view of the world and its people, and could be discarded when necessary.

Shinobu is unlike anything Douma has ever seen before. He has never known contentment, not for anyone around him and especially not himself. He has lived more than a century believing that just pretending to be that purposeful, happy person was enough. But as Kanao rightly said, he is empty, and he knows it, and it haunts him.

Douma spent his entire life forcing himself to like and enjoy a role he was forced into in spite of his own feelings, and at the end he realised that it amounted to absolutely nothing. He was still empty, unfulfilled and miserable.

So the sight of a person, even the woman who killed him, showing the genuine joy of an ambition and life fulfilled, how could Douma not be smitten by it?

It's not true love, not based on Shinobu as an individual and certainly not healthy, but it's a sensation born from witnessing the purest iteration of the state of being that has so long eluded him. He now knows that such a thing is achievable, possible, and so should heaven and hell.

For more than a century, Douma knew that his life was a lie. He was not a seer, he could not hear the gods, but had to pretend otherwise because everyone believed - or said - otherwise. Living this lie developed a deep cynicism towards those things which people said were true, like salvation and peace.

Douma knew deep down that what he did was not salvation, and therefore believed that it was unachievable no matter how much he said otherwise.

But Shinobu proved him wrong. And no matter how Douma wants to hold onto the thing that proved him wrong, all that awaits him is hell. It was all too late.

Douma really, really did not want to go home.

This was the first meeting of the Upper Moons in 113 years, and Douma was here for it. All he wanted to do was talk to everybody, talking and talking, even when he's not being listened to. He forgave any insult and injury, and his attempts to hang out with the Upper Moons after the work meeting reeks of desperation, even turning to Nakime at the end.

The only other people he's interacted with in between meetings are his followers and his unlucky victims, so his fellow Upper Moons are the only beings in existence remotely like and equal to him in any respect. They are the only beings he can form any real sort of bond with.

The problem is that Douma has no idea what a real bond looks like. He's been surrounded by brainless sycophants for more than a century. The closest he ever got was Kotoha, and we know how that turned out.

Douma was, I think, genuinely ecstatic to have an opportunity to become closer to his fellow Upper Moons, and annoyed when they all turned him down. Even if the moment was played for laughs, I think there's a part of it that's sad in hindsight, knowing Douma's backstory.

Muzan possesses such a high level of emotional intelligence that enables him to read people deeply, manipulate them to his advantage, and exploit their weaknesses. He knows how to agitate them to get what he wants and how to break them down by amplifying their worst traits. His top three Upper Moons reflect his own faults such as apathy, immaturity, arrogance, greed, and an endless quest for more power.

Muzan treats each of them differently to serve his purposes. He humiliates and belittles Akaza at every opportunity because he knows that he craves guidance and praise. By doing the opposite, he inflicts emotional pain. He continues this harsh treatment until Akaza's final moments, pushing him to persist in a meaningless existence.

With Douma, Muzan exacerbates his emotional stuntedness by being emotionally distant and allowing Douma to stay in toxic environment he grew up in, preventing any personal growth or change.

And lastly, Muzan manipulates Kokushibo's jealousy and greed by tempting him with what he desires most, rather than what he truly needs. This leads Kokushibo down a path of betraying everything that once mattered to him.

" Why were you even born? "

[ KNY Infinity Castle arc spoiler ]

Rereading the part where Kanao mocks and insults Douma and I finally understand that in a way, she's gloating.

Douma and Kanao were raised in an environment where neither had the luxury to express their true emotions. They needed to act in a certain way to survive. When they finally found a path that allowed them to be more of what they were, Kanao managed to shape herself according to her choice but Douma couldn't.

Even if Douma has gotten stronger, he would always be in that cult, always performing sweet smiles and playing the role of a savior. He stays in the way he was as a human. He's like a frozen statue, unchanging. His human self wanted a change, a spark of excitement in his dull life and he thought being a demon was the answer.

Kanao is everything that he's not. She finds the will to change while he doesn't. Douma has more power than ever, he could go find something else about himself but no, he let himself be rooted in the same spot.

" Why were you even born? " Kanao probably has asked the same thing about herself, and upon noting the slight similarity between her and Douma, she represented the same question for him too.

The brewing hatred in Kanao makes her express great pleasure in seeing that she succeeded in denying her past while Douma still lives in that bubble. Her words spit venom because she can relate to him. Can't feel happiness, can't feel sadness. While he can't, she couldn't.

The difference between them relies on their choices and she feels such immense delight in a moment of spite to know that what she chose has become her strength. She made the choice to change, even in slow progress, but she finds the will to live instead only to survive.

It's such a brilliant choice to have Kanao battles against Douma, from the fact that the people around them are connected to that their pasts are almost the same.

I think I am getting better in drawing Miguel, I just need to fix the nose and eyes next time and makes him look more depressed.

The new opening song is good, but it doesn't fit with KNY, maybe leaning more to MHA vibe. Anyways,

Everytime I read a KNY fanfic of certain demon x reader, there will always be Douma that just decided to ruin the relationship.

It's funny how we all look at him and agree that he's such a menace.

Muzan : Join us, child, become stronger.

But for real, imagine what Tamaki could do if he...eats people.

Akaza, Shinobu, Kanao & Inosuke, holding a sign of ' Douma Hate Club, requesting more members ' : * Make a deadpan expression *

I think one of the reason Douma kept Kotoha by his side is because she's so straight-forward with her action and feelings.

Douma has lived his life surrounded by fake gestures -- all people wearing masks to pleases him when he was a human. Like his parents. I think that he lived his human life being cherished with fake love that he also wore a mask to hide his feelings, to the point he no longer felt them. His backstory is sad, but isn't easy to be sympathize with.

The thing about Kotoha is, that she treated him with sincere kindness and gentleness. She didn't lie to him at all.

" It's nice to keep a beautiful thing by my side." - Douma, talking about Kotoha to Inosuke and Kanao.

Maybe it refers to her personality, not her look. Yes, she was beautiful, but perhaps her personality was the reason he kept her alive. Douma liked it, he felt delighted to have someone who was sincere with everything by his side.

And when she discovered who Douma really was, Kotoha still being honest on what she felt. She stick true to herself, even if she got herself killed in the end.

Douma and Kotoha had such potential to be a couple, only if Douma isn't so psychotic and twisted.
