In his duel against Gyomei, the demon's banter suggests a fear of death. When Gyomei's marks appear, Kokushibo preemptively bemoans the loss of a talented fighter and he urged him to become a demon to continue honing his skills. He seemed surprised when Gyomei vehemently rejected his offer and called his mentality pathetic. [11] Third Form: Loathsome Moon, Chains ( 参 ( さん ) ノ 型 ( かた ) 厭 ( えん ) 忌 ( き ) 月 ( づき ) ・ 銷 ( つが ) り , San no kata: Enkidzuki - Tsugari ?) [70] - Kokushibo performs two extremely broad crescent-shaped slashes directly in front of him, from which a storm of smaller crescent moon blades are released.
Kokushibo's human family name contains the Kun'yomi/reading of the kanji for "to inherit, succeed" ( 継 ( つぎ ) , tsugi ?) and "country" ( 国 ( くに ) , kuni ?), while his first name contains the Nanori of the kanji for "sterness, severity" ( 巌 ( みち ) , michi ?) and the Kun'yomi reading for "to prevail, victory" ( 勝 ( かつ ) , katsu ?). His father was the one who named him, as he believed Michikatsu would be strong and successful.Kokushibo has been challenged three times for his position. One of these battles involved Akaza. While Kokushibo would usually absorb the demon he defeated, he let Akaza live because he enjoyed the challenge. [1] To himself) " The old and ugly creature that was once my little brother had pity for me. But... I wasn't angry. Even though 60 years ago, he had been such an eyesore. The voice calling me "brother" was terribly hoarse. My brother had never shown the slightest emotion... so at the sight of him shedding tears, something welled up in me for the first time since birth. I was confused... at my own unexpected unrest. But I must kill... this part of me from when I was human... This old man of brittle flesh past his prime... He was a Demon Slayer, and I must cleave anyone who turns a sword upon me. But his odd sentimentality... disappeared the next moment." [77]

[33] The Demon Slayer Mark drastically improves the abilities of an individual, making them much stronger and faster than what they can achieve normally, though at the cost of being cursed to die at the age of 25. However, by turning into a demon and gaining immortality, Kokushibo is no longer bound by the curse. Seventh Form: Mirror of Misfortune, Moonlit ( 漆 ( しち ) ノ 型 ( かた ) 厄 ( やっ ) 鏡 ( きょう ) ・ 月 ( づき ) 映 ( ば ) え , Shichi no kata: Yakkyō - Dzukibae ?) [73] - Using his altered katana, Kokushibo performs a frontal crescent-shaped slash that unleashes numerous straight and curved slashes that expand outward.Immense Speed & Reflexes: Kokushibo possesses immense levels of speed far surpassing that of the other Upper Ranks, as first shown when he slashed off Akaza's arm before he, or any of the other demons present, realized. [40] He displays his phenomenal speeds on multiple occasions while fighting. Firstly, he is able to effortlessly outpace Muichiro's Mist Breathing techniques, moving so fast he appears to teleport. [41] Muichiro even remarked that Kokushibo's speed was in another dimension compared to his own, despite his abilities being amplified by his Demon Slayer Mark. [42] When Genya fires his shotgun at the Upper Rank from a distance, Kokushibo manages to suddenly appear behind him before the pellets could reach where he initially was, before slicing his arm off the moment he arrived. [43] He then slashes off his other arm and his torso so fast, his arm didn't even appear to move. [44] Master Swordsman: Due to training and refining his swordsmanship skill for almost 500 years and getting a major boost to his physical capabilities, Kokushibo has become one of the most powerful and skilled swordsmen to have ever lived. As a Demon Slayer in the Golden Age of Demon Slayers, his swordsmanship was already outstanding as he learnt many of his techniques from Yoriichi himself. According to himself, his techniques were so refined and legendary that they have no hopes of it being passed down for future generations. [58]
Fourteenth Form: Catastrophe, Tenman Crescent Moon ( 拾 ( じゅう ) 肆 ( し ) ノ 型 ( かた ) 兇 ( きょう ) 変 ( へん ) ・ 天 ( てん ) 満 ( まん ) 繊 ( せん ) 月 ( げつ ) , Jū Shi no kata: Kyōhen - Tenman Sengetsu ?) [75] - Using his altered katana, Kokushibo performs a multitude of curved slashes which expand outward in every direction that incrementally grow in size, essentially creating an omni-directional vortex of crescent moon blades that surrounds him. Eighth Form: Moon-Dragon Ringtail ( 捌 ( はち ) ノ 型 ( かた ) 月 ( げつ ) 龍 ( りゆう ) 輪 ( りん ) 尾 ( び ) , Hachi no kata: Getsuryū Rinbi ?) [66] - Using his altered katana, Kokushibo performs a massive long-ranged curved slash that leaves dozens of crescent moon blades along its path. Tanjuro Kamado · Kie Kamado · Takeo Kamado · Hanako Kamado · Shigeru Kamado · Rokuta Kamado · Sumiyoshi Kamado · Suyako Kamado · Sumire KamadoKokushibo is reserved, silent, and aloof, maintaining an aura of unnerving tranquility and mystery that compliments his position as Upper Rank One. He rarely speaks; when he does, he talks in a slow and emphatic manner that gives more gravitas and authority to his words. He is an adamant rule-follower, punctual, and he shows a great deal of respect to the hierarchy of the Twelve Kizuki, as seen at the Upper Rank gathering. [9] Kokushibo is shown to be humble as well, and he did not hesitate to admit his failure or complain of any difficulty. Unlimited Stamina & Endurance: Like all demons, Kokushibo possesses infinite stamina and vitality, never tiring and always remaining in optimal physical and mental condition all the time as well as being able to endure waves of onslaught as if it were nothing. Despite having his limbs and whole chunks of his body being repeatedly torn off and destroyed, he never once showed a sign of pain or agony. [51] [52] Even when his head was being crushed by Gyomei Himejima's spiked iron ball, he remained steadfast. [53] Supernatural Abilities [ ]
