Zohakuten - Blog Posts

While Zohakuten wakes up screaming in anger at simply existing in a world where weekends end, Merus simply doesn't give a damn and just moves in bed to remind Zohakuten that he's still there and that it is Sunday. Then the demon of hate stops screaming, mumbling why he didn't do that before, while Merus replies that he woke up ten seconds ago.

Zohakuten was indeed created from the emotions of an abusive husband, but he is not fucking insane enough to lay a finger or a slightly higher tone of voice on the Grand Priest's son.

This contributed a lot to him learning love XD

This is still how I see him, like, I can't picture anything else that could fit him better than this. He still looks like a child, but it's just the same as the others, and I can't take him seriously like that, which I know is dangerous, but just look....

Hantengu's wife would probably just baby him in a way of affection and he just going: "Well, it's not what I obviously deserve and should have, but only that way I get more attention, so it's a win/loss situation"

Now, I'm just imagining him falling for Kokushibo's daughter, who could be working as an oiran or geisha, and Kokushibo just having high ass standards for Zohakuten to follow if he truly wants his daughter. The standards possibly being that HE has to do most of the work while she just finishes it up and makes it perfect (around the house). Like, Kokushibo doesn't want his daughter to lift a single finger in their marriage. I'm almost wondering how Zohakuten would react to that, because I see it in a comical way, of some type.

My Zohakuten HeadCanons

Hatred Toward Humanity: As the embodiment of hatred, Zohakuten harbors deep disdain for humanity. He sees humans as weak, corrupt, and beneath him, unworthy of respect or mercy-applies to most demons too

Ageless Yet Misunderstood: Despite his childlike appearance, Zohakuten is well over 200 years old and fully developed in intellect and ideology. Many underestimate him due to his youthful looks, forgetting that he possesses the wisdom and malice of an adult demon.-Kind of bothers me people characterize him as a child when he is not.

Misogynistic Beliefs: Zohakuten holds extreme misogynistic views, fully supporting male violence toward women and seeing them as inherently inferior. He values strict hierarchies and order, believing that only the strong deserve to rule, and that subjugation is the natural state of those beneath him. Women especially.

Fear and Respect Among Clones: His clones fear him—he is their absolute authority. While Karaku, Aizetsu, and Urogi would be a bit unnerved in his presence, Sekido’s maybe not so much. Sekido may not be afraid, but he acknowledges Zohakuten's power. Hantengu, on the other hand, is viewed as a pathetic, weak being—worthy of protection in this cruel villainous world.

Victim Mentality Rooted in Hatred: Zohakuten carries a victim mindset, not in the sense of self-pity, but in a seething, righteous fury. He believes he has been wronged and uses that as justification for his malice and cruelty.

No Interest in Pets or Attachments: Unlike other demons who may take interest in humans or demons as pets or companions, Zohakuten sees himself as far above such indulgences. He considers no one truly worthy of standing beside him.

Respects Strength, Not Status: He acknowledges Akaza’s fighting skills, possibly extending that respect to Gyutaro. However, Kokushibo is the one demon he would truly admire, as his discipline, power, and unwavering devotion to Muzan align with Zohakuten’s ideals.

Potential for Mating: If he ever desired a partner, it would be purely for his own needs. He would demand nothing less than an untouched and highly refined oiran or noble woman, someone of great beauty and status. However, he would not concern himself with earning her favor—her purpose would be to serve him, not the other way around. Her payment is the honour of his presence. He would expect absolute formality, similar to a concubine’s role in a shogun’s court, requiring strict obedience, reverence, and the utmost deference—addressing him as "sama" and fulfilling his demands without question. There would be no sentimanility or gift giving on his part. Doesn't give a damn about the partner's pleasure.

Xenophobia or racist? While Sekido exhibits a xenophobic distrust of those outside his perceived order, Zohakuten takes it further—I reckon he is a full-blown supremacist, believing that certain beings, especially certain humans, are inherently lesser and deserving of eradication or servitude. I'm not sure if it counts as racism if you hate everyone?

I guess of his interests-meditating in storms? Maybe likes the sound of Japanese war drums like the Taiko

Probably similar to Sekido in enjoying the lore of Raijin and Fujin

Probably enjoys watching destruction unfold-like humans perishing in some sort of natural disaster or a lower level demon destroying a village

Might engage with the occassional spar with someone he considers worthy? maybe Akaza? Possibly Gyutaro? Definately Kokushibo.

All in all, an A grade asshole. Muh favorite. Irredeemable.
