How strong is Nakime in Demon Slayer?

How strong is Nakime in Demon Slayer? (Compared to other demons)

is one of those who receives the position of Four after Hantengu's death. She is one of the antagonists of the Infinity Castle Arc and provides great support to Muzan in the Hashira Training Arc. In this article, we will discuss Nakime's strength in Demon Slayer.

Nakime is always seen performing a biwa, and she controls her Blood Demon Art through this action. For this reason, she is called the Biwa Demon. Here are his powers and abilities:

I. Nakime: the art of the blood demon

Nakime: Blood Demon Art

Like all demons, Nakime also possesses a Blood Demon Art which grants her special abilities aside from those she gained after transforming into a demon.

Blood Demon Art is unique to each demon, and Nakime's Blood Demon Art is particularly useful. For this reason, she is one of Muzan's favorites, even though she is not very strong offensively.

His Blood Demon Art is Infinity Castle which gives him access to an extra-dimensional space containing a huge castle with countless rooms.

Every room in Infinity Castle is unique in one way or another, and Nakime controls each one. She sits in the center of the castle and has the ability to control the entire Infinite Castle.

Nakime's control over Infinity Castle includes the ability to change the shape and layout of the castle with her will by scratching her biwa. She can manipulate the shapes of rooms to make them into pointy objects to use as weapons or use the pillars of rooms to crush her enemies.

But the most useful thing about Infinity Castle is Nakime's ability to change locations and manipulate the layout of the entire castle. In doing so, she can position a specific piece next to another or keep two pieces as far apart as possible.

Nakime's control over the rooms of Infinity Castle resembles everyone's control over their own limbs. Perhaps because of this, she becomes completely immobile when using her Blood Demon Art. To protect herself from attacks, she instead uses the castle rooms.


1. Portal creation

Portal Creation

Another part of Nakime's Blood Demon Art is her ability to create portals. She can create portals anywhere, inside and outside of Infinity Castle, and uses them to transport the Upper Moons to their missions, and this may be how Muzan travels without being detected by the Demon Slayer Corps.

Nakime also uses her portals in combat, as a way to dodge powerful attacks. For example, during her fight against Love Hashira in the Infinity Castle Arc, Nakime creates a portal to get rid of Mitsuru's Love Breathing attack.


2. Abilities

Abilities

Like all demons, Nakime also has a set of special powers in addition to her Blood Demon Art that differentiates her from humans.

Being one of the Kizuki Twelve and later a High Moon demon, her powers are naturally greater than those of most demons.

Some of Nakime's special powers include immense strength, rapid regeneration, and extraordinary speed and reflexes.

As previously stated, Nakime's strong suit is not combat, as her Blood Demon Art is more of an aid than an offensive ability. However, that doesn't mean she's weak.

She thwarts the efforts of not one but two Hashiras who want to cut off her head. The Love Hashira and the Serpent Hashira give their all to kill the demon Biwa. However, she is smart enough to hold them back with her Infinity Castle.


3. Eye detachment

Eye Detachment

After Hantengu and Gyokko's deaths, when Nakime is given the position of Upper Moon Four, she most likely receives more blood from Muzan.

This gives him a new and very useful ability. After becoming one of the Greater Moons, Nakime gains the ability to detach multiple eyeballs from herself.

The eyeballs are movable at will and she uses them to spread out to spy on everything around her. This ability becomes very useful to Muzan, as Nakime uses her eyeballs to locate the secret location where her family is hiding.

With this information from the Demon Biwa, Muzan is able to kill the chief and half of his family.

Nakime also uses her eye detachment power to track the upper moons and the Hashira.


4. Weaknesses

  • When Nakime is using her Blood Demon Art, she becomes completely immobile, only able to use the Infinity Castle as her limbs.
  • If the opponent is faster than she can move the Infinity Castle, then heading her is exceedingly easy.

II. How strong is Nakime compared to other demons?

How Strong is Nakime Compared to Other Demons?

Given that she is given the rank of Upper Moon Four, it stands to reason that Nakime is considerably stronger than most demons. However, when it comes to the Twelve Kizuki, its power can be compared to the others. Here's how she compares to the other twelve Kizuki demons:

1. Compared to Hantengu

Nakime and Hantengu may occupy the same position in the Twelve Kizuki, but from an offensive point of view, Hantengu is much stronger than Nakime. Her display of emotion is a greater asset in battles than Nakime's Infinite Castle. This is why Nakime does not get her position as Upper Moon Four until Hantengu's death.


2. Compared to Kaigaku

Like Nakime, Kaigaku receives his position in the Kizuki Twelve after the death of a previous place holder. In Kaigaku's case, these are Gyutaro and Daki. He becomes the Upper Moon Six after the siblings' deaths.

Kaigaku's Blood Demon Art is Thunder Breathing, which again is stronger in combat than Infinity Castle. But Nakime's Blood Demon Art is more versatile and useful than Kaigaku's, which is why she occupies a higher position than him.


3. Compared to other superior moons

Compared to the rest of the High Moons, Nakime is undoubtedly the weakest party. The Superior Moons above her: Akaza, Douma and Kokushibo, are all so extremely strong that there is no real competition.


III. How strong is Nakime compared to Hashira?

How Strong is Nakime Compared to Hashira?

As a demon of the High Moon, Nakime's powers can be compared to those of . In fact, she deals with two simultaneously and shows her mastery and versatility of her Blood Demon Art. Even if she doesn't have considerable attacks, her Infinity Castle is more than enough to protect her.

The problems she will face will be much the same for the other Hashira, except for the Stone Hashira whose overwhelming power can easily defeat Nakime.

Other Hashira with greater speed, like the Wind Hashira and the First, would also do well against Nakime since they could decapitate her before she can control Infinity Castle.


Conclusion

And that's how strong Nakime is in Demon Slayer. Demon Biwa's true strength lies in her versatile Blood Demon art and the ability with which she uses it. She may not be the strongest opponent, but she undoubtedly plays a huge role in the Demon Slayers' final battle against the Kizuki Twelve.
