| “ | Muzan! You have committed the gravest sin in this world. Kneel in regret for taking Lady Tamayo from me! From now on, I! Shall drive you onto the ground! | „ |
| ~ Yushiro admonishing Muzan Kibutsuji after Tamayo's death at the hands of the demon lord |
Yushiro is harsh, bad-tempered, confrontational and aggressive. His first conversation with Tanjiro begins with him insulting Nezuko Kamado and calling her an eyesore. He is usually depicted with a scowl on his face and rarely seen smiling unless when speaking about and/or admiring Tamayo, to whom he is in love with, shown when he attacked the Demon Slayer for insignificant reasons on a multitude of occasions and was promptly reprimanded by her.
He only cares for Tamayo, whom he refers to with the title of "lady" out of affection and respect, and hates when others get in the way of his spending time with her and dislikes not being by her side for even a minute. In fact, he cares so little for others (and only for Tamayo) that while Tanjiro and Nezuko were fighting two demons who were trying to kill them, Yushiro suggested to Tamayo that they use Tanjiro and Nezuko as decoys to run from the demon, something that horrified Tamayo. Though Yushiro claimed he was joking to appease her, it is evident he genuinely considered it. He also claimed that Susamaru deserved her death for hurting Tamayo, though even he was shocked at the brutal way she died.
He hates it when others get too close to Tamayo, expressing even the smallest bit of attraction, or he perceives that someone insults her. He himself tends to fawn over her a great deal. He seems to be insulted when Tanjiro suggests that all demons have a hard time controlling their desire to feast on humans, asking Tanjiro if he thought all demons were that bloodthirsty. Despite this, he can show respect and compassion towards others, as he did take back his comment about Nezuko being an eyesore and called her pretty at the end of the episode and also covered Tanjiro's mouth to prevent him from inhaling Tamayo's Blood Demon Art, which is harmful to humans.
Even when not in the vicinity of Tamayo, Yushiro could also be rude and sardonic, as shown when posing as a Demon Slayer in the Infinity Castle. He shows little respect towards Murata and insults him when the Demon Slayer panicked over Zenitsu's injuries which ended up drawing the attention of several demons, much the the Demon Slayer's anger. Even when helping others he kept his condescending attitude, as seen when he first allies with Mitsuri Kanroji, frankly telling her that if she wasn't an idiot, she would listen to him. In addtion, despite of his notoriously bitter personality Yushiro did have a sense of justice, as shown when rescuing Zenitsu who was falling down a chasm in the Infinity Castle, he takes the time to confront a beheaded Kaigaku, telling him that one that never gives to others never creates anything, and scorning the disgraced demon for dying alone.
By the end of the series, when visting Tanjiro as he was recovering in the Butterfly Mansion, Yushiro once again showed his ability to be compassionate when he praised Tanjiro for fighting valiantly in the final battle and gave an extremely rare luminescent smile. However, he retained his usual animosity as shown when he insulted Tanjiro telling him that he was joking and that his face irritated him after the boy humbly revoked his compliment. Despite it was clear that he was grieving Tamayo's death and contemplating suicide out of despair. Tanjiro knew this and told Yushiro not to die. The demon would take these words to heart and would dedicate his life to painting portraits of his memory of Tamayo, tragically proving that Yushiro's love for Tamayo stayed strong after her passing.
Appearance[]
Yushiro has the appearance of a young man of short stature and average build with pale skin and sharp, lavender eyes. He has short hair that is neatly styled and vertically shaded from a mint green to black.
Yushiro wears a button-up collared shirt under an all-white iromuji-haori and dark blue Seigo-Sendeihira styled hakama pants. When disguising himself as a Demon Slayer, he dons their standard black uniform and conceals his slit pupils.
As a human, Yushiro looked identical apart from his slit pupils and pale green hair.
Abilities[]
Overall Abilities[]
Yushiro is a demon of mostly unknown strength, although living for a long time under Tamayo, who is herself a deceptively strong demon who could severely weaken Muzan, it is assumed that Yushiro is a competent fighter as well who can make use of Blood Demon Arts. Yushiro for the most part, however, is more of a support combatant, aiding others with his powers to allow them to discern invisible things or otherwise mask his allies' presence. Most impressively, Yushiro is strong enough to wrestle for command against Muzan over a demon, albeit with the help of the Demon Slayers to interrupt Muzan's concentration.
Medical Skills: Being Tamayo's aide, Yushiro is also an expert medic being familiar of her special techniques and drugs. After rescuing Zenitsu from falling to his death, he was able to make use of numerous medicine in order to prevent the damage inflicted by Kaigaku's Blood Demon Art to spread further. He was also able to resuscitate a nearly dead Tanjiro to health, allowing the latter to be able to fight again.
Talented Painter: Within the Reiwa Era of Japan, Yushiro became an artist who paints extremely detailed and intricate pictures of Tamayo on a canvas which have received critical acclaim from all around the world. His paintings are so realistic that some people mistake them for photos.
Regeneration: As with all demons, Yushiro is armed with potent regeneration. He is able to heal from major wounds without complications, and even was able to grow his entire head back after getting struck by one of Susamaru's powerful temaris.
Demon Abilities[]
Body Modification: Through unknown surgical procedures, Yushiro's body has been adapted to live with minimal human blood consumption and no drive to hunt humans. Tamayo stated that Yushiro requires less blood than she does to sustain himself.
Curse Immunity: As a result of being a demon created by Tamayo who severed her link with Muzan, Yushiro is by default not linked to him and as such immune from Muzan's control, preventing the Demon King from exerting any influence over him, such as destroying him remotely or reading his thoughts albeit Muzan was able to partially spread his cells to Yushiro's hand to wrestle Nakime's control from him and to kill him.
Flesh Manipulation: Like all demons, Yushiro possessed the ability to control and alter his flesh to a certain extent. Yushiro briefly uses this ability during his infiltration into the Demon Slayers forces to alter the appearance of his eyes to give himself a more human-like look, concealing the distinctive vertical slit in his iris.
Yushiro uses his invisibility with his hand-to-hand combat skill.
Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Yushiro is shown to be a proficient martial artist. When Tanjiro asked about Tamayo's age, Yushiro, in his fury, began jabbing at his pressure points to punish him, causing him significant pain. Later on, he was seen throwing Tanjiro onto the floor when he tried to get close to Tamayo, doing so in a manner similar to judo. During the fight against Susamaru, Yushiro can be seen striking her with open palm strikes, eventually knocking down the demon.
Blood Demon Art[]
Blindfold (し Mekakushi?): Yushiro's Blood Demon Art allows him to create paper talismans which possess the ability to mask or reveal something's presence. By placing these on certain objects of his choosing, he can get rid of their presence. Otherwise, by placing it on someone's forehead, he can enhance their vision by revealing the presence of masked objects.
Yushiro has used this Blood Demon Art to completely hide the entrance to Tamayo's clinic in Asakusa, and used it to create illusory walls to make it less suspicious as well. However, he couldn't mask its existence completely from Yahaba's own Blood Demon Art's tracking ability. He can also render himself invisible using his Blindfold. Yushiro has also used this to reveal Yahaba's hidden arrows and bestow this power to Tanjiro as well. During the Infinity Castle Arc, it seems Yushiro's Blood Demon Art has developed considerably. Not only can he create dozens of his paper talismans at once, but he can use them to completely mask their presence but still see one another, granting them a slight advantage against Muzan. His Blood Demon Art can allow two beings to use their vision in tandem to increase their efficiency in combat, as seen with Obanai Iguro and his pet snake Kaburamaru ( Kaburamaru?).
