Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked

As a seasoned aficionado of the anime realm, I must say that the Blood Demon Arts showcased in Demon Slayer are nothing short of breathtaking. Each one possesses its unique charm and devastating power, but if I were to pick my top three, well, let’s just say it wasn’t easy!


In the animated series titled “Demon Slayer,” an unending battle rages on between demons and humans, dating back over countless centuries. Within this show, you’ll find numerous fierce encounters where both sides wield potent abilities to seize control. Human warriors known as demon slayers utilize Breathing Styles, whereas powerful demons channel their unique talents called Blood Demon Arts.

In this storyline, unique abilities called Demon Techniques are mastered by powerful demons once they achieve a certain level of strength. These formidable skills can often decide the outcome of crucial fights, acting as a demon’s final strategy. Throughout the series, several strong demons with exceptionally potent Demon Techniques have appeared. This compilation highlights those that prove to be the most powerful among them.

19 Blindfold – Yushiro

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked

  • Anime Debut: Episode 8
  • Alias: Yushiro Yamamoto
  • Affiliations: Demon Slayer Corps

Yushiro’s special ability, known as Blindfold, has two functions: it can conceal or amplify the presence of objects or individuals, and this is achieved by crafting paper charms. With these charms, Yushiro can either hide or emphasize the characteristics of whatever he attaches them to. Through rigorous training, Yushiro gained the power to connect the visions of two people to boost their fighting capabilities, such as with Obanai and his pet snake Kaburamaru.

As the series draws to a close, Yushiro develops his Blood Demon Arts to include Mind Control abilities. With these powers, he can induce a trance in individuals, manipulate their thoughts and perceptions, and potentially control their Demon Arts, if the target is indeed a demon. He successfully demonstrates this on Nakime.

18 Hiasobi Temari – Susamaru

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 8
  • Alias: Temari Demon
  • Affiliations: Muzan Kibutsuji

In a more conversational style: Susamaru’s Blood Demon Art, known as Hiasobi Temari, gives her an ability to create handballs on demand. These balls are incredibly robust; in fact, just one strike from them is often lethal for ordinary individuals, as demonstrated during her fight with Tanjiro.

When used together, Yahaba’s Kotestsu Arrows significantly enhances the effectiveness, precision, and deadly nature of the accompanying techniques. This duo becomes quite formidable because Susamura can perform a variety of attack styles such as piercing kicks, spinning throws, spiraling shots, and sixfold Temari, making her an even greater threat.

17 Vampiric Trees – Genya Shinazugawa

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 4
  • Alias: N/A
  • Affiliations: The Demon Slayer Corps

Genya’s Vampiric Trees are quite special, even among other supernatural beings, because Genya himself is not a demon. Instead, he lacks the ability to use any breathing techniques and has an unusual gift – the capability to adopt traits of demons upon consuming their flesh. This unique power allows Genya to obtain his Blood Demon Art by ingesting a piece of Kokushibo’s sword, which is imbued with demonic essence.

The Vampiric Trees originate from a modified double-barreled shotgun wielded by him. These aren’t ordinary bullets; they transform into massive trees upon impacting an enemy. The trees grow roots immediately, ensnaring the foe, and not just that, they also drain their blood supply, disabling them from utilizing their Blood Demon Art.

16 Koketsu Arrow – Yahaba

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 8
  • Alias: Arrow Demon
  • Affiliations: Muzan Kibutsuji

Yahaba has the ability to create red arrows that appear invisible, but become visible when you blink your eyes. He can produce an unlimited number of these arrows and move them in whichever direction he chooses.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve come to admire his skill with those arrows – he manipulates their trajectory like no other, sending them in any direction he chooses. It’s a terrifying sight as he sends enemies crashing into the ground at breakneck speeds. The Blood Demon Art poses quite a challenge for demon slayers because the arrows are not just physical objects; they pass through anything, making them nearly impossible to deflect.

15 Drum Spell – Kyogai

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 11
  • Alias: The Drum Demon
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

Kyogai earns the moniker “Drum Demon” through the mystical power known as the Drum Spell. Unlike other demons, this ability is tied to Kyogai’s mansion and cannot be utilized elsewhere. The source of this technique lies in six Tsuzumi Drums embedded throughout his body, each drum influencing his mansion uniquely due to its specific effect.

In this magical setting, each drum that Kyogai wields serves a unique purpose:

14 Electrokinesis – Kaigaku

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 17
  • Alias: Kaigaku Inadama
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

In harmony with the respiratory technique he used as a demon slayer, the Blood Demon Art of the New Upper Moon Six seamlessly matches, granting him electrokinesis capabilities. This enables him to produce and manipulate lightning from within his own body. The lightning produced is more potent than that of Sekido’s, capable of searing the skin of its targets.

When he utilizes the five variations of Thunder Breathing, his power significantly amplifies, enhancing both his reach and attack speed. As a result, he becomes the most powerful wielder of Thunder Breathing, leaving even agile Zenitsu struggling to match his pace.

13 Infinity Castle – Nakime

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 26
  • Alias: Biwa Demon
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

A unique, demonic artwork called Blood Demon Art, originating from the solitary, unusual demon Nakime – the one-eyed demon – materializes into a realm resembling an endless, multi-roomed castle that serves as Muzan’s operational headquarters.

Drawing inspiration from her life as a biwa musician, Nakime possesses the ability to modify and adjust spaces by strumming on her instrument. For greater convenience, she links herself to the infinite castle. Intriguingly, Nakime has the power to generate doorways, enabling movement of both people and objects within and beyond the castle’s walls.

12 Pyrokinesis – Nezuko

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 1
  • Alias: The Chosen Demon
  • Affiliations: The Demon Slayer Corps

In this series, it’s quite appropriate for her character, being the secondary lead, to possess one of the strongest blood demon art abilities. Unlike other techniques, hers is harmless towards humans and inanimate objects, only causing damage to demons or items tainted with demonic essence. This was evident when her flames impacted Genya, a human who consumes demons despite his own nature.

Her fires are known to slow down the healing process of demonic injuries, since Daki’s burn wounds took significantly longer to heal than the other injuries she sustained.

11 Blood Bewitchment – Tamayo

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 8
  • Alias: Lady Tamayo
  • Affiliations: The Demon Slayer Corps

In a more fitting application of her pharmaceutical abilities, Tamayo’s Art of Demonic Blood involves her self-inflicting wounds, extracting her own blood, and employing the emanated aroma to manipulate the mental states of her victims. She possesses the power to generate illusions and trigger hallucinations that impact the vision of her targets by enveloping them in floral designs.

She can also imitate the effects of truth serum, making her targets more agreeable and gullible by decreasing their brain functions, making them unable to tell lies and keep secrets, as shown when she uses it to manipulate Susamaru to say Muzan’s name out loud.

10 Thread Manipulation – Rui

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 15
  • Alias: Rui Ayaki
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki, the Spider Family

In their initial clash, Tanjiro faced off against Rui – a demon – in a fight that made him truly realize the danger he was in. This was mainly because of Rui’s powerful Blood Demon Art, which allowed him to manipulate threads.

According to its title, this Demon Art enables Rui to control potent strands that can effortlessly disassemble typical humans. Amazingly, these threads possess the strength to shatter Nichirin Swords, unique weapons designed for combating demons. Moreover, when he imbues the strings with his blood, Rui amplifies their power substantially, making them overpowering enough to outmatch Tanjiro’s Continuous Transformation technique.

9 Dream Manipulation – Enmu

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 26
  • Alias: Tamio Enmu
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

While engaged in conflict with the demon slayers aboard the Infinity Train, Enmu swiftly demonstrated the potency of his Demon Skill, Dream Alteration. Utilizing this Demon Skill, he can shape the dreams of his adversaries once they’ve been lulled asleep by his primary Demon Skill, Hypnotic Sleep.

One unique aspect of Dream Manipulation is that it allows Enmu to invade his victims’ dreams and obliterate their spiritual essence, effectively shattering a person’s mind. This makes it effortless for Enmu to bring about death. However, this power can be combated if the opponent has an incredibly strong will.

8 Porcelain Vases – Gyokko

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 45
  • Alias: Managi
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share some intriguing insights about the Blood Demon Art Porcelain Vases, part of Gyokko’s Upper Moon Five arsenal. These vases host a myriad of abilities, each one associated with a unique pot endowed with special properties. With these magical vessels, Gyokko summons fish-like entities and extraordinary powers to outmatch his adversaries. Yet, the capabilities don’t stop there; he can also ensnare humans within his pots and reshape them according to his whims.

Initially, Gyokko showcased the potency of this skill during a confrontation with Muichiro Tokito, the Fog Hashira. By some means, he managed to render the young hashira motionless and pushed him perilously close to death’s door. This extraordinary outcome was primarily due to his adversary’s selfless determination to safeguard others. Typically, Gyokko’s Blood Demon Art might not yield such impressive results; however, even post-battle with Tokito, the Fog Hashira succumbed and lost consciousness.

7 Obi Sash Manipulation – Daki

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 34
  • Alias: Yatamahime
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

Although Daki may not be as powerful as the other Upper Moon Six demons, her Blood Demon Art is still an incredibly potent skill. With this ability, she has the capacity to control and manipulate intricate floral-patterned obi sashes in various beneficial ways. For instance, she can extend her obi into a long container to store an enormous number of humans within it, and by infusing some of her power, she can even create a separate, self-aware being.

As Daki fought Tanjiro, her standard attacks using her belt were enough to overpower him. But once she summoned her offshoot obi, her attacks grew exponentially stronger, effortlessly tearing down and demolishing several houses. Moreover, she possessed the ability to imbue her neck with the power of her Obi, making it incredibly resistant to being cut through. This was evident when Inosuke and Zenitsu combined their efforts to finally behead her.

6 Emotion Manifestation – Hantengu

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 45
  • Alias: Resentment Demon
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

In the thrilling Swordsmith Village Arc of the series, I had the awe-inspiring opportunity to witness the Blood Demon Art of none other than the formidable former Upper Moon Four, Hantengu. This extraordinary technique saw Hantengu’s body splitting into numerous potent clones, each embodying distinct emotions derived from his core being. Each clone was armed with its own Blood Demon Arts and could be easily recognized by unique markings on their tongues.

The strongest manifestation of Hantengu’s duplicates is called Zohakuten, symbolizing Hatred. This form is a fusion of four other duplicates, each carrying their unique Demon Arts. Consequently, it has the ability to execute lethal attacks that merge wood manipulation with potent sound waves, perilous special spears, air control, and lightning production.

5 Blood Manipulation – Gyutaro

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 40
  • Alias: Gyutaro Shabana
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

In his role as the top menace in Upper Moon Six, Gyutaro’s Blood Demon Art is incredibly potent and hazardous. This ability allows him to unleash diverse attacks by utilizing blood from various body parts, which he can then launch from his sickles. Moreover, these attacks are tainted with a lethal venom that has the potential to overpower the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, whose resilience is renowned.

The most potent move associated with the Blood Demon Art is Gyutaro’s Whirling Circle Cuts: Airborne Bleeding Scythes. This formidable skill is nearly impossible to dodge and covers a vast expanse, even demolishing numerous buildings and structures in its path. It poses a significant challenge for opponents due to its immense power and versatility, as it can take on various shapes, making evasion challenging.

4 Destructive Death – Akaza

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 32
  • Alias: Hakuji Soyama
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

Leveraging skills he had as a human, Akaza’s Blood Demon Art seamlessly blends Soryu Style martial arts techniques into the majority of his assaults. Additionally, he’s capable of producing shockwaves that travel through the air, causing substantial harm to enemies upon collision.

But what truly sets his Demon Art apart are Technique Development and Compass Needle. These skills are often utilized at the onset of combat, granting him extraordinary perception beyond normal senses. This enables him to quickly identify opponents and respond more effectively to their attacks based on their fighting spirit’s intensity. The power of this Blood Demon Art was sufficient to claim Rengoku’s life while simultaneously engaging in a fierce battle against an enhanced Tanjiro and Giyu, Tomioka.

3 Cryokinesis – Doma

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 44
  • Alias: N/A
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

Doma wields a Blood Demon Art that gives him the ability to shape and launch formidable attacks using ice. His ice-based abilities are even more fearsome due to unique properties, making it hazardous just to breathe in the mist of his frozen creations. Impressively, Doma demonstrates mastery over this Demon Art through a variety of techniques, each serving multiple purposes.

He can conjure ice clones that roughly share the same amount of power as him and perform the same abilities he can. He can also summon a massive Bodhisattva statue which possesses immense force and can emit ice from its mouth. Furthermore, he was responsible for the death of two known hashira in the series, proving the lethality of his Blood Demon Art.

2 Biokinesis – Muzan

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 6
  • Alias: Demon King
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

Although Muzan, the ancestor of all demons and primary adversary in the Demon Slayer series, doesn’t have the most thrilling Blood Demon Art, it remains highly beneficial and boosts his power significantly during crucial fights. The key aspect of his Blood Demon Art lies in its ability to manipulate cells and his body, enabling him to transform and modify his physical form in diverse ways.

This character has a unique ability: He can elongate whips reminiscent of bones from his spine for lethal strikes. Additionally, he has the capacity to sprout mouths across his entire body, with a particularly large one near his torso. This mouth can produce powerful shockwaves that inflict substantial harm on his target. Furthermore, as evidence of his Demon Art’s versatility, he can encase himself in a mound of flesh resembling a baby, rendering him invulnerable to the sun’s effects while within it.

1 Crescent Moon Blades – Kokushibo

Demon Slayer: Strongest Blood Demon Art Techniques, Ranked
  • Anime Debut: Episode 45
  • Alias: Michikatsu Tsugikuni
  • Affiliations: The Twelve Kizuki

“Kokushibo’s Blood Demon Art stands out due to its unique fusion of Demon Art and Breathing Style. Unlike other slayers, who create optical illusions when using their different Breathing Styles, Kokushibo’s illusions are real. He can inflict damage with numerous crescent-shaped slashes that seem to come from any part of his sword.

In this fight, Kokushibo’s slashes possess such immense power that they could simultaneously overwhelm several Hashira. This early in the battle, he managed to chop off Tokito’s left hand with ease. Moreover, since his sword is crafted from his own flesh, Kokushibo can modify its shape at will. This flexibility allows him to execute a wider array of unexpected attacks.
