Doma

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

Appearance
As a Demon, Doma takes the form of a young man with a moderately toned and muscular body, who is of a notably pale complexion and possesses unusually long, pointed nails that appear to be stained a pale blue. His hair can appear either silver or a pale golden blond, and he wears 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 are 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 appear 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 is a blessed being who can communicate with the gods. The kanji for 'Upper Moon Two' (or 'Upper Moon Six,' at the time when he first met Gyutaro and Daki) is etched across them, and they're 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 wears a blood-red turtleneck of a design that makes it appear that the section between his neck and upper chest is 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 piece of cloth he adorns on his head. Below this, he wears a pair of straight, tan-colored pants of a pinstriped design, their cuffs visibly loose, which he secures with a pale green-tinged golden belt, its buckle a bright silver. On occasion, Doma may also 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 is lined with gold around its frontal plates and has flowing black ribbons dangling from each of its sides. He is also usually seen holding a pair of sharp fans that are made entirely out of shining gold, a lotus design engraved across them and a hoop of jade-colored strings hanging from their bases, which act as his primary weapons.

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

Doma is quite nihilistic and lacks 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 compensates his empty "heart" with lies, learning to fake his emotions enough to deceive all but the most keen observers. He is shown to be a psychopath, lacking of empathy even for his dying parents, merely complaining about the smell of blood. In addition to his incapability to feel emotions, Doma has also displayed inhuman amounts of pain tolerance, congenital analgesia. He's 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 complete serene expression in his face. During his interactions with fellow Upper Moon, Akaza, he showed no negative reactions to his constant physical fatal attacks and to his head being blowing off. In fact, he considers 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 is an atheist who staunchly believes that gods, Buddhas, and the afterlife does not exist. He believes 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 accepts that he was wrong and that Heaven and Hell actually do exist. He also displays 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 is considered to be the third strongest Demon in the series. His combination of battle techniques and skill is powerful enough to overwhelm and defeat Shinobu, the previous Insect Pillar, without any difficulty and is also noted to have defeat and critically injured Kanae Kocho, the previous Flower Pillar. His main form of combat primarily involves him channeling his techniques via his two fans for both delivering powerful destructive attacks and parrying attacks from his opponents. According to him Akaza, Upper Moon Three, he 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 noticed. Blood Demon Technique: Doma's Blood Demon Techniques are all primarily based on creating and producing ice and frost using his own flesh and blood.
 * Enhanced Regeneration - Doma's most astounding ability that he had displayed was his incredibly powerful regenerative capabilities, as seen when Akaza punched off both his lower jaw and his upper head and he still managed to heal himself with little to no effort, even considering it as a friendly gesture. During his battle against Shinobu, he managed to break down and render all of the various poison mixtures Shinobu injected into him useless, managed to quickly recover and immediately develop antibodies to her poisons with little to no 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 minutes after killing her.


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


 * Freezing Fog (て) - A gust of wind generated by Doma's fan which creates a cloud of ice particles, freezing objects that come into contact. It also spreads cold air that, if simply inhaled, can completely freeze and destroy the intended victims lungs.


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


 * Scattering Lotuses (り) - Doma creates several slashes of snowfall and ice to tear through his opponents flesh.


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


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


 * Lotus Vines - Doma creates a blizzard of ice cubes shaped like lotus petals that he then sends towards his target to tear them to shreds.


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


 * Hoarfrost — Waterlily Bodhisattva (・) - This is Doma's strongest Blood Demon Technique. He creates 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.
