Since the release of the third season I've often thought about the upper moons bdas, mainly about Gyokko's and Hantengu's. And I think especially Hantengu's has been really underestimated. In my opinion, it has a lot of potential and is probably even more terrifying than most of the other's blood demon arts if you try to imagine it in a realistic setting. So I thought I'd share some of my thoughts for those interested.
Urogi's scream βΉ His power is probably one of the most underrated ones. And interestingly, the one power that most of them share - him, Zohakuten, Urami and Hantengu's main body.
A lot of people underestimate the danger of loud noise. Not only is it crucial for demon slayers to be able to hear their surroundings to identify where an unseen attacker might come from - the ear is also the balance organ. Seeing Tanjiro struggling to hold his balance during his fight with Urogi would have been a nice detail.
Judging from the effect that Urogi's screams had on Tanjiro, I think it's safe to say his screams are above 120 decibel, which is when it actually starts to be painful. Sounds above 150 decibel burst your eardrums while sounds above 185 damage internal organs and can be deadly. I am not sure of the total range of his volume, but Zohakuten demonstrated that he coul rip someone apart with his scream. Mitsuri only survived because of her special muscle densitiy.
Also, sound travels faster through water. Urogi could e.g. pick up his victim and drop them into a body of water before diving under and screaming at them, causing a lot more damage. Of course his feathers would need to be water-repellent. And not even taking into account his power, just utilizing his ability to just pick up a weaker slayer and drop them into a lake for example, would already debilitate them, as it's difficult to get out or they might even drown if they can't swim.
Sekido's lightning βΉ His power would obviously be extremely powerful if it worked like actual lightning. But in the anime/manga he rather imitates lightning. Aside from the obvious fact that physics laws don't seem to exist in most media and we're dealing with a dark fantasy anime, it's still fun to imagine his power as realistic as possible.
Sekido could make people's heart stop, partially blind them and even cause the blood vessels in their brain to burst. Those few who survive to tell of the demon's power would be marked by unique patterns stretching across the skin where lightning hit, known as Lichtenberg figures. Perhaps blinded and deaf, they wouldn't be able to fight anymore.
Even though most people who get hit by lightning survive without major injuries, it's still a unique power that is perfect for stunning an opponent. I suppose the author made him appear weaker for the plot. In a fanfiction it would have a lot of potential though.
Urami's size βΉ This is mainly about how terrifying his size actually is. He's twice as tall as Tanjiro, standing at about three metres or nine feet tall. Imagine being in Tanjiro's situation and having Urami's giant hands wrapped around your head. The immense pressure would be insane. Genya really was Tanjiro's savior in that moment.
Additionally, it was interesting to see him not burning up immediately when hit by the sunlight. The scene was definitely stretched and felt longer than it actually was, but he still didn't make an effort to find shade. Comparing this to Akaza, who seemed terrified by the upcoming sun, indicating he is likely not as resistant to the sun despite having a higher rank, this seems like Hantengu developed a bit of a resistance to the sun even if only for a few seconds. Or this might be a unique feature about the clones. Since Urami is not the main body, he might be able to regenerate faster than the sun destroys his cells as long as the main body is safe and therefore survive longer when hit by sunlight.

Hirakugo and Hime's "dangerous" father.

@hantengudelulu
Imagine if Kokushibo has a little fawn elaphocentaur daughter and Zohakuten finds her and tries to do something bad to her....
He gon remember why Kokushibo is the second strongest demon in the world. Kokushibo about to fuck him up
I also don't know why I just have so many "powerful and usually evil pieces of shit guys going soft for their love/child" ideas, but it's an interesting and good trope.
The sunsets are from me and the two forest/nature ones belongs to the photographer that took them and the one who had them first!!
Amazing sights really.
I don't know how I forgot about Toyotama-hime's older brother, Hirakugo. He's taken the albinism from his mother and is a Moon breather with a white Nichirin sword. He also has Kokushibo's eye colors and short fluffy hair. His personality is just the exact same as Kokushibo and absolutely hates uppermoon 4 Hantengu because of his "fake innocent" act and would just want him to at least do the minimum and not tremble and stutter as much in front of Muzan (he thinks it's disrespectful to do that in his presence). He's just basically a second Kokushibo, but an albino version with short hair.
@hantengudelulu, @fallstreakfeathers, forgot about him. Sorry π
Is okay, sis. Have fun with Gyokko.
@hantengudelulu @fallstreakfeathers @virtuousweakling: If there were other supernatural creatures in the KNY world, that demons could kill and eat (for example: werewolves, sirens, mermaids and a thousand other fantasy creatures), would their blood be more "interesting" than humans due to not being fully human blood? Like, could it be similar to a marechi type of taste? Don't know how that popped up in my head.
The clan with the most powerful human eyes in the world, being literally able to see the muscles and tissues move in their opponents, to see their weaknesses with just a single movement of their body, the clan whose worse than starving barbary lions when killing their opponents, making their skulls into drinking cups and other bones as trophies to hang up.
But, also the clan who treats their women like gifts from every god, like they have been made with the gentlest and purest love on Earth, like if women were to disappear, the whole Earth would fall apart. Because that's what it'll happen based on their beliefs. Women are such powerful beings to them. They can make any house feel warm and welcoming, even if it's the worst one there is on the world. They've also been known to "steal" girls and raise them to better believe how powerful their presence alone can be.
One shall not speak bad about a woman in their presence, or they'd be taught a real lesson. Hundreds of men were skinned alive, cut out organs, beaten, broken, burnt, ripped apart just because they were treating their wife as lower than an ant. How can they? That woman can give them heaven if they were only nice and understanding!! But no!! They'll be an asshole, so they'll face an asshole's fate!!!
What happened to the woman? Simple, impressed, and spoiled until she chooses a husband of the real right clan that can treat her like she deserves and should be treated like from the start. After all, every man believed in the "happy and healthy woman, great fortune and luck for the rest of the generations". And it had been proven true from the start of their existence and history of the clan.
(( @hantengudelulu what'cha think? It'll definitely be interesting. Should we also try to make a small mixed reaction/small roleplay of the demons meeting the clan? It'd be cool))
It generally gives so many issues and problems with the body. Why can't people just don't start smoking at all? Why and how do they even like it? It's disgusting. I know that the nicotine drug is addictive, so maybe just don't start it at all?? I'm just confused about how people actually just want to start by their will to smoke.
I feel like you'd be the type of dad to give your child alcohol once just so they see how bad it is and never want to do it again.
And you would be absolutely right!!!
That's what my father did to me, when he found out that I was trying to smoke, he made me smoke all 25 sticks, made me so sick I never wanted to touch another smoke again.
I don't know what's happening, but I'mma post some funny and chaotic things Hirakugo and Toyotama-hime did as kids/preteens.
Tried to summom out Gyokko like a snake with snake charmers. It did work and they laughed about it for years.
Secretly dated demons and people they normally shouldn't.
Terrorized and terrified five villages in one month.
Almost destroyed a fifth of the castle when they fight.
Are giant candy and sweet stealers. Hime goes for caramel and chocolate while Kugo goes for fruit candy and baked goods.
Sometimes, even go to terrorize the demon slayer corps with their bda's.
Have stolen a whole mine worth of gems and precious stone and every type jewelry.
Teamed up against Akaza and won a spar by tickling him to passing out.
Created a poison for demons that absolutely stops their regenerating ability forever if it mixes with wisteria.
Also created a potion that can allow demons to eat human food.
Just two chaotic demon children. @virtuousweakling @hantengudelulu @fallstreakfeathers
Whats your favorite music to listen to :3
I like most, just not a big fan of anything metal, I'm mostly used to listening to songs that give my creative mind more ideas on how to live like a mythical creature or ones that fit a certain vibe.
I'm in so much fandoms, I lost count of them.
