Doma

Doma was a member of the Twelve Demon Moons, holding the position of Upper Moon Two.

Appearance
As a Demon, Doma took the form of a young man with a moderately toned and muscular body, who was of a notably pale complexion and possessed unusually long, pointed nails that appeared to be stained a pale blue. His hair could appear either silver or a pale golden blond, and he wore it parted to his left, the shorter parts around his face seeming to flare out to either side around his head, curving backwards with one strand left down his face to fall between his eyes, while the longer parts were left to drape centrally down his back in a thinning spiral. His eyes have been described to be incredibly rare and beautiful, as, in color, they appeared to be made up of an array of rainbow pastel tones that fade into one another as they circle his irises, this unusual appearance even causing people to believe Doma was a blessed being who could communicate with the gods. The kanji for 'Upper Moon Two' (or 'Upper Moon Six,' at the time when he first met Gyutaro and Daki) was etched across them, and they were shaped to slope downwards towards the sides of his face, with a set of notably large, thick black eyebrows acting to frame them above.

Doma wore a blood-red turtleneck of a design that made it appear that the section between his neck and upper chest was covered by a black substance that looks like it's dripping slightly down his body, this same design repeated at his wrists and down his hands, as well as on the small, circular "blood stain" he adorned on his head. Below this, he wore a pair of straight, tan-colored pants of a pinstriped design, their cuffs visibly loose, which he secured with a pale green-tinged golden belt, its buckle a bright silver. On occasion, Doma may also have be seen sporting a black cloak, which he drapes around his shoulders, two lengths of purple and black cloth with a rectangular pattern also hanging from it around his neck, as well as a black, crown-like hat which was lined with gold around its frontal plates and has flowing black ribbons dangling from each of its sides. He was also usually seen holding a pair of sharp fans that were made entirely out of shining gold, a lotus design engraved across them and a hoop of jade-colored strings hanging from their bases, which acted as his primary weapons.

Personality
Doma was outwardly friendly, possessing an approachable and charismatic air, yet undeniably deadly and calculating. Under the belief that he was saving them from their suffering, Doma happily devoured his followers and other young women. While he may appear caring toward his comrades, he didn't feel genuine grief over their deaths.

Doma was quite nihilistic and lacked human emotion, admitting that, even during his human days, the entire concept of emotion was completely foreign to him. Aware that this is abnormal, Doma compensated his empty "heart" with lies, learning to fake his emotions enough to deceive all but the most keen observers. He was shown to be a psychopath, lacking of empathy even for his dying parents and merely complaining about the smell of blood that hung in the room after their deaths. In addition to his incapability to feel emotions, Doma had also displayed inhuman amounts of pain tolerance, comparable to borderline congenital analgesia. He had been shown to have several disturbing habits such as sticking his finger into his skull, puncturing a hole straight through his temples, and then fondling and fiddling with his brain in order to stimulate his memories from his long life with a completely serene expression in his face. During his interactions with fellow Upper Moon, Akaza, he showed no negative reactions to his fellow member delivering two fatal blows to his head, in fact, he considered this to be their form of personal "greeting" between two "best friends." Doma has even implied that he actually enjoys these physical abuses as seen when he morbidly asked Muzan with excitement on what type of extreme self harm he should inflict on himself as punishment for his failure, and again expressed delight upon Shinobu Kocho's numerous attempts to poison and kill him.

Despite leading a cult, Doma was an atheist who staunchly believes that gods, Buddhas, and the afterlife does not exist. He believed that after death there is nothing and that people who "could not accept something so simple" are naive and dumb. However, after his death, he accepted that he was wrong and that Heaven and Hell actually do exist. He also displayed what arguably is his first true emotion&mdash;a crush on Shinobu, asking: "Is this what people call love? You're cute, Shinobu."

As a Human
Because of his beautiful, rainbow-colored eyes, Doma was seen as a supernatural being since birth and was groomed into the religious leader of the Eternal Paradise cult, a position he maintains to the present day.

When he was still a child, his mother had a mental breakdown and stabbed his father to death for having numerous affairs with many other female cult disciples. Immediately afterwards, she committed suicide by poisoning herself to death. Yet, despite these series of gruelling events happening right in front of him, Doma only felt annoyed by the bloody mess created in the aftermath and disgusted by the pungent smell of blood, simply wanting to air out the room before the stench permanently stuck to its furniture.

When he was 20 years old, he met Muzan Kibutsuji, who transformed him into a Demon.

As a Demon
At some point, Doma became Upper Moon Six of the Twelve Demon Moons. During that time, while he was roaming around the Red Light District and feasting off the flesh of the geishas and other young maidens, he stumbled across the siblings Gyutaro and Daki, who where both at death's door&mdash;Gyutaro had been stabbed in the back and was slowly bleeding to death while his sister Daki was burned to the point of being unrecognizable. Being a "nice guy," Doma offered to turn the pair into demons and save them, proceeding to give them his blood to initiate their transformation. He challenges them to become powerful enough to be recognized by "That Man" and become Upper Moons in the Twelve Demon Moons. At some point, Doma became Upper Moon Two, surpassing Upper Moon Three, Akaza, despite becoming a Demon more recently than him.

Fifteen years prior to the present, Doma had a brief history with Inosuke Hashibira. His mother, Kotoha, escaped from her abusive household with him and found refuge in the Eternal Paradise cult. Although Doma considered her stupid, her beauty and singing talent convinced Doma not to consume her and to simply let her live her life. However, she discovered he was devouring other followers and fled from the temple with Inosuke in her arms. Before she could be killed, she dropped Inosuke off a cliff into a river in hopes he would survive. Doma shortly caught up with them and proceeded to swiftly kill her and mock Inosuke for his fate, before eating Kotoha to the very bones.

A few years before the present, he encountered and fought Kanae Kocho. He mortally wounded her, but was forced to retreat from the rising sun before he could devour her.

Red Light District Arc
At the gathering of the Upper Moons, Doma questioned Akaza's lack of concern for him, placing a hand on his colleague's shoulder. He expressed his worry for his comrades' safety, before engaging Gyokko in small talk about his pot and the one he had been given. An irritated Akaza told Doma to move his hand, punching him when he didn't immediately comply. Regenerating the damage almost instantly, Doma complimented his fellow Upper Moon, wondering if he had gotten stronger since their last meeting. Soon after, Muzan Kibutsuji arrived and Upper Moon Two listened as his leader reported Gyutaro's death. Doma apologized, eagerly wondering what kind of punishment Muzan would inflict on him, but was instead told that nothing was expected of him.

The eccentric Demon questioned this, but Muzan pointed out the continued existence of the Ubuyashiki family and the failure to find the Blue Spider Lily caused Doma to concede that he wasn't the best at detective work. He later approached Gyokko, eager to accompany him on his new mission, but had the top half of his head destroyed by Akaza for not following their leader's orders.

Doma swiftly regenerates from this and attempts to placate Kokushibo, who had cut off Akaza's hand for disrupting the hierarchy. Hearing it hadn't been for his benefit, Doma noted that Kokushibo's suggestion that Akaza should apply for a bloody battle would be a waste of time given their difference in strength and that he hadn't dodged Akaza's blow on purpose. He then cheerfully bid Kokushibo goodbye, again attempting to engage Akaza in conversation, and once more tried to join Gyokko and Hantengu on their mission. Failing on both accounts, he attempts to flirt with the Biwa Demon, only to be rejected and transported back to his home, where he was told that his followers had arrived. Putting on a ceremonial hat, he instructs the messenger to bring them in.

Demon Abilities
Having held the position of Upper Moon Two, Doma was considered to be the third strongest Demon in the series. His combination of battle techniques and skill was powerful enough to overwhelm and defeat Shinobu, the previous Insect Pillar, without any difficulty and he was also noted to have defeated Kanae Kocho, the previous Flower Pillar, in the past. His main form of combat primarily involved him channeling his techniques via his two fans, both delivering powerful destructive attacks and parrying attacks from his opponents. According to Doma, Akaza, Upper Moon Three, would have no chance in defeating him in battle. Considering this, Doma can be presumed to be an extremely powerful Demon, even though he wasn't seen fighting seriously until he was severely weakened by Shinobu's poison. He displayed amazing speed by stealing Kanao's sword from her hands and Inosuke's mask from his head and moving away before they even noticed the items were gone. Blood Demon Technique: Doma's Blood Demon Techniques were all primarily based on creating and producing ice and frost using his own flesh and blood.
 * Enhanced Regeneration - Doma displayed incredibly powerful regenerative abilities, as seen when Akaza punched off both his lower jaw and his upper head and he swiftly regrew himself with little to no effort, even considering the fatal attack to be a friendly gesture. During his battle against Shinobu, he was able to break down and render all of the various poison mixtures Shinobu injected into him useless, immediately developing antibodies to her poisons without much trouble. Even when Doma himself absorbed her body and ingested over 37 kilograms worth of poison (70 times more the lethal), it still took a considerable amount of time before it began to have any adverse affect on him.
 * Absorption - Doma displayed the ability to completely absorb and devour an entire human body without eating them, having completely broken down and incorporated Shinobu's body into his own within only a few seconds after killing her.


 * Wilted Hanging Garden (り) - A series of 8 to 10 successive attacks generated through the movement of Doma's fans. They moved rapidly to create gusts of razor-sharp attacks.


 * Freezing Fog (て) - A gust of wind generated by Doma's fan which created a cloud of ice particles, freezing objects that come into contact with it. It also spreaded cold air that, if so much as inhaled, could completely freeze and destroy the intended victim's lungs.


 * Lotus Ice - Doma created various ice lotuses to attack or ensnare his target.


 * Scattering Lotuses (り) - Doma created several slashes of snowfall and ice to tear through his opponent's flesh.


 * Arctic White Princesses (の) - Doma created two female humanoid figures with ice that were able to blow cold wind, similar to that of Freezing Fog, towards their intended target. However, unlike Freezing Fog, it was noted by Kanao Tsuyuri that this technique had a much larger and wider range.


 * Wintry Icicles (され) - Doma created multiple ice spears/stakes to impale his target from a long range.


 * Lotus Vines - Doma created a blizzard of lotus petal-shaped shards of ice that he then sent towards his target to tear them to shreds.


 * Crystal Prince (ノ) - Doma created miniature ice replicas of himself to battle his opponents. He was been shown to be capable of creating up to three clones of himself at once, all possessing the same amount of combat prowess as Doma himself and fully capable of using any of his Blood Demon Techniques. As well as this, Doma noted that the dolls are also able to record and save whatever they see, as Doma planned to record both Inosuke and Kanao's techniques in order to create suitable countermeasures against them.


 * Hoarfrost — Waterlily Bodhisattva (・) - This was Doma's strongest Blood Demon Technique. He created a large Bodhisattva ice statue to attack and destroy his targets, with the statue being capable of creating powerful cold gushes of wind, easily freezing someone to death.

Trivia

 * In the manga's original Japanese, Doma's hair is described to be "birch-colored" (白橡), a very light blond/gold, however on Shonen Jump 2019 issue 29 and Chapter 162's covers and in the English translation, his hair is pictured/described as being a silver color.

Quotes

 * (To Gyutaro and Daki, before turning them into Demons) "What we call life is precious. You gotta value it."
 * (To Akaza) "You're my precious buddies. I don't want aaaanyone to wane out now."
 * (To Kanao Tsuyuri) "You know... I have spoken to many girls, but... This is the first time I've talked to such an unkind girl as you. Why do you say such spiteful things?"
