The Infinite Castle arc in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba promises to finally explore the dark past of Doma , the Upper Moon Two. While many demons in the series have tragic origins, few compare to the innate coldness and cruelty of Doma, who demonstrated inhumanity even when he was still human.
The following text contains spoilers for the manga and anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Doma: Cruel since human times
| Anime | Episode 44 |
| Manga | Chapter 95 |
Unlike other demons, who became cruel after suffering trauma or injustice, Doma already displayed psychopathic traits long before receiving Muzan . Raised as the religious leader of a cult called the Faith of Eternal Heaven, he grew up surrounded by worship, but was incapable of empathy or remorse. As a child, he witnessed his mother murder his father before taking his own life. His reaction? He was simply bothered by the smell of blood in the room.
This coldness persisted after he became a demon. He used his position within the cult to lure victims and feed on them, always with a cynical smile. Doma hides his cruelty behind a gentle and friendly demeanor, which makes him even more dangerous, as he deceives even his allies among the Twelve Kizuki. During his first appearance in the anime, alongside Daki and Gyutaro , his presence already conveyed a silent terror, even with seemingly friendly gestures.
With the announcement of the film trilogy adapting the Infinity Castle storyline, fans will finally have the chance to fully understand the origins of this disturbing figure. After all, despite not being the strongest of the villains, his complete lack of emotion makes him an unpredictable threat. Especially when confronted by hunters like Shinobu Kocho, who have personal reasons for confronting him.
