Doma, alongside his fellow Upper Moons, acts as a major antagonist in the Infinity Castle Arc. In this very arc, his past and his connections to some of the important characters are revealed.
His fights against Insect and then against Inosuke Hashibira demonstrate exactly why he is ranked as the second strongest Upper Moon.
Two specific things that set Doma apart from his fellow demons are his charming way of speaking and his habit of only eating young women.
According to him, this is because young women are more nutritious since they are able to nourish babies in their bodies.
Over a hundred years before the current timeline, when Doma was the Upper Moon Six, he encountered the dying and transformed them into demons.
Fifteen years ago, he took in Kotoha who stumbled upon his cult with a baby Inosuke. Doma later killed her, but she threw Inosuke into the water to save him before the demon could reach him.
Doma was also the demon who fought and ultimately killed Kanae Kocho, the former Flower Hashira and Shinobu Kocho's sister. This led Shinobu to swear to kill him in revenge.
Blood Demon Art Doma: Cryokinesis
Doma's blood demon art is cryokinesis which gives him the ability to create and manipulate ice from his flesh and blood. He can manifest ice structures all around and use them as weapons in combat through a number of techniques.
Not only are the various ice structures it creates dangerous, but the mere air blowing over them is deadly to everyone.
Inhaling the air near Doma's Blood Demon Art causes the inhaler's lungs to quickly freeze, resulting in a gruesome death in a short time.
It's even colder than normal ice, as mere contact with it makes Shinobu feel like his lungs are going to burst and nearly freezes Kanao's body at the slightest touch.
While absolutely dangerous in its own right, Doma increases his power through his Tessenjutsu which occurs with two War Fans. The demon Upper Moon Two is very proficient at this, casually performing complex techniques with a simple flick of his fan.
The techniques that Doma unleashes with his Blood Demon Art: Cryokinesis are as follows:
Techniques
Lotus Ice
The first technique we see Doma use with his Blood Demon Art. With this technique, a number of huge frozen lotuses manifest. Like his other techniques, Doma uses it by sweeping his war fan through the air.
Lotus Vines
Lotus Vines is a technique similar to Lotus Ice. Here, huge ice lotuses appear, connected to each other by thin frozen vines. The vines can extend in length and reach the target. If caught, it can freeze the target's lungs and body.
Freezing Clouds
Just as its name suggests, Freezing Clouds features Doma-manifesting clouds that let out air cold enough to freeze the lungs of anyone who inhales it. This technique brings frozen air in such large quantities that it is difficult to avoid.
Barren Hanging Garden
Unlike other techniques, Barren Hanging Garden is a series of successive attacks, consisting of 8 to 10 war fan blows that generate sharp shards of ice. On contact, it can tear the target into pieces.
Cold White Princesses
This technique manifests two enormous busts of women who breathe icy, deadly air from their mouths. This is a long-range attack and the air blown by the "princesses" will freeze anything it touches.
Winter Icicles
Winter Icicles creates a barrage of frozen icicles each time Doma's war fans pass by.
Scattering Lotuses
Despite its beauty, this technique is absolutely deadly. Doma swings his fan through the air to manifest a barrage of razor-sharp ice shards that resemble lotus petals.
Crystal Miko
Arguably the most dangerous technique in Doma's Blood Demon Art, Crystal Miko has Doma create small ice clones of himself from his fans.
The tiny clones can use his Blood Demon Art and perform all his techniques like the real body. Doma can create a number of these clones effortlessly.
Hoar – Frost Lily Bodhisattva
The last technique Doma uses before dying. In this technique, a huge frozen Bodhisattva statue appears, surrounded by huge ice lotuses. The Bodhisattva statue lets out bursts of freezing air from its mouth and can attack or capture the target with its enormous hands.
Why is Doma so powerful in Demon Slayer?
Being the demon of Upper Moon Two, it's redundant to say that Doma is one of the most powerful characters in the series, having killed hundreds of demon slayers and at least two Hashira over the years.
He earned a place in Muzan's Twelve Kizuki relatively soon after being transformed into a demon.
During the gathering of the Upper Moons, it is revealed that Upper Moon Three, was transformed into a demon before Doma, but Upper Moon Two managed to surpass him in a short time.
He also confidently states that there is no way Akaza can win against him, no matter how hard he tries.
It's difficult to determine just how Doma is so powerful, but it might have something to do with his natural talents and diet.
According to him, young females are the most nutritious of all humans, and since his diet consists only of young human females, he could get more nutrition and energy from them.
This is also the main difference between him and Akaza, and could explain why he is stronger than Akaza.
Conclusion
Doma and his Cryokinesis play an important role and are the source of power-ups for two major characters. He is not only a strong character but also a very interesting one. Fans of the anime-only Demon Slayers can expect to see him in action in .
