The Creepy Backstory Of The Upper Moon 5 - Gyokko???? #shorts #demonslayer #gyokko - Video

Gyokko, along with Hantengu, is a primary antagonist in the Swordsmith Village Arc of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is a demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, holding the position of Upper Rank Five.

Before becoming a demon, he was a human male named Managi.

Gyokko has a very bizzare physiology, taking on the form of a pale white, abstracted, grotesque humanoid figure with a muscular upper torso that has no arms and resembles that of an armless statue growing from a porcelain vase, similar to a djinn. He has multiple infant-like hands that line his back.

Gyokko's face is even more distorted, with large green mouths located where one would expect his eyes to be at, and his actual eyes are located vertically from one another on his face; one eye appearing in the constantly open bottom mouth and the other is seated at the center of his forehead. The kanji for Upper Rank is engraved on his forehead's eye and the kanji for Five is engraved on his mouth's eye.

In an emergency, Gyokko can molt and transform into his true form, which bears heavy resemblance to that of a merman. In this state, Gyokko retains his facial features and muscular physique but now possesses a more humanoid body covered in transparent scales akin to a fish. Gyokko also grows longer hair, black markings on various places around his body, webbed hands, and a long serpentine tail in place of his legs.

Managi, as he was known as while still human, was born and lived in a village at the edge of a coastline, the village known for its fishing. When he was young, his parents went out on a fishing trip and never returned, as they would drown far out sea. After some time, their mangled corpses washed up and appeared on the village's shore. Upon seeing his parent's bodies, Managi developed a grotesque fascination with corpses.

Villagers would often see him obsessing over fish carcasses he found, leading the entire community to ostracize him and keep their distance, believing Managi had gone insane. Eventually, a child found Managi and teased him for his unusual behaviour, leading Managi to kill the child and stuff the body in a pot used for fishing. When the child's parents discovered them dead and Managi had been responsible, they stabbed him with a pronged fishing spear and left him to die on the spot.

For 12 hours, Managi would barely stay alive as his wounds ebbed his life away, up until he was discovered by Muzan Kibutsuji and transformed into a demon.

As a demon, Managi took on the demon name Gyokko. Since his near-death experience, Gyokko developed a strong hatred for all living things, embracing his new life a demon and worshipping Muzan. He would primarily eat the flesh of children. His strange obsession with fish and corpses would reach a new twisted peak when he began to modify his body to look like a fish, and he developed a penchant for abducting people through pots of his creation. Once he captures his unfortunate victims, Gyokko would turn them into "art", using their bodies to make living statues to fit his grotesque artistic view. Often time, these victims would stay alive despite being their bodies horribly mangled.

In time, Gyokko would eventually attain the rank of Upper Five among the Twelve Kizuki.

As the holder of the fifth highest position in the Twelve Kizuki, Gyokko is an extremely powerful demon. His unique Blood Demon Art and techniques allow him to easily outclass the average demons and give him the necessary edge to overwhelm and kill even the Hashira, the most skilled and powerful swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps. As Upper Rank Five, Gyokko is more powerful than Gyutaro and Daki, the former having killed 15 Hashira and the latter having killed 7.[12] Gyokko has displayed many impressive feats of strength. Most notably, in his duel with Muichiro Tokito, Gyokko was able to overpower and hold the Hashira back for the majority of their fight, even managing to bring him to the brink of death. If not for Gyokko's inherent egotistical nature and Muichiro awakening his Demon Slayer Mark, the Upper Rank would have more than likely been able to kill him.
