The new episode of the second season of anime Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) introduced one of its iconic villains called Gyutaro (妓夫太郎 Gyūtarō).
Who is the oni Gyutaro?
Gyutaro is a thin-looking oni (demon) with pale skin, green hair, and orange eyes. He is the Upper Moon number six. Gyutaro wears no shirt, only pants and pieces of cloth covering parts of his body, seven in total, all red: one around his neck and three on each arm.
Having endured a life of suffering, Gyutaro became a cruel and envious person. Even in his human form, he worked as a debt collector in the Red Light District , instilling fear in everyone. His arrogance stems from his skill in fighting and having killed numerous demon slayers throughout his life, some of whom were Hashira , the highest rank in the group. His protective nature is due to his sister being his greatest pride. Even though Gyutaro is a stronger demon than his sister Daki, he prefers to stay by her side, to the point that they share the same body.
Gyotaro's past
In the past, he survived numerous abuses from his mother, being mocked for his voice, going hungry and eating rats and insects to survive. As time passed, Gyotaro came to protect his sister Ume, and she helped him overcome his sense of inferiority.
Techniques and Skills
Gyutaro possesses regenerative abilities Muzan 's blood . Capable of manipulating his own cellular tissue, he can fuse with his sister to increase his powers and remain immune to death by decapitation. This is shown when Daki is decapitated by Uzui and yet remains alive minutes after losing her head. His blood techniques involve the use of poisons, even allowing him to create enormous scythes.
Ultimately, we don't know if the anime will change the pace of the story.
Furthermore, the new season is being shown in Japan on Sundays and is being streamed by Crunchyroll and Funimation here in Brazil.
