She grows a short white horn on the right side of her forehead designed with an irregular crack pattern, along with vein-like patterns in her forehead near her horn. She loses her bamboo muzzle and footwear, as well as the sleeves of her haori and kimono. When Nezuko transforms into her awakened form during her fight with Daki, she has a bigger, taller and curvaceous body and has longer hair that reaches to her feet. Nezuko also wears a small pink ribbon on the left side of her head to keep her hair out of her face, along with the bamboo muzzle Giyu Tomioka gave her, which is secured around her jaw with a strip of red cloth. Over this, she sports a long, dark-brown haori that reaches her calves, as well as a pair of zōri with pink straps and white tabi socks, wrapped with thick pieces of black material resembling kyahan. She wears a light pink kimono with an asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern, the lining a paler pink, secured by a red and white-checkered hanhaba obi with an orange-threaded obijime and a green obiage. According to Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko was known as a great beauty in their home town. In the manga, Nezuko can sometimes be shown with more than one bow. She has soft-looking, pale pink eyes that appear a lighter color around the rims of their irises, slanted downward toward the sides of her face and framed by notably long eyelashes, the pupils of which can appear slit as she transforms. It reaches just below her waist, turning a flame-orange color as it passes her elbows, and appears to be crimped into large, straight ridges, worn side-swept drastically to her left. Nezuko is a young girl with fair skin, visibly large, prominent fangs, a slender build, and sharp, stiletto nails with a base color of light pink and ombre fading to a red-pinkish color at the end where they point.

Not only has Nezuko evaded his influence, but in the later manga arcs, she is also actually surpassing him in some aspects.Nezuko has the ability to manipulate her own blood. As the King of Demons, he has the ability to control every demon as he pleases, but not Nezuko. It's also worth noting that the Demon King can't actually control Nezuko. Even Muzan Kibutsuji has been unable to obtain this power. At this point in her growth, she's able to go toe-to-toe with Upper Rank demons and could easily be classified as one herself.Īs the manga advances further, it's revealed that Nezuko can do something else that no other demon has ever been able to achieve - she can walk in the sun.

As her power continues to grow, she eventually learns to control this form as well, using it as she pleases. Losing herself to her feral nature, she actually does attack a human, but Tanjiro intervenes before she can do any harm. Her first transformation doesn't go smoothly. In Season 2, Episode 6, Nezuko takes on Upper Rank 6 Daki, where she first unlocks her awakened form. In fact, her Blood Demon Art can't actually harm humans, but it can stop a demon dead in its tracks. It gives her a powerful advantage in battle, but she has also been able to use her pyrokinesis to cure Tanjiro and her other friends after being poisoned. She also develops pyrokinesis, her Blood Demon Art, which manifests in pink flames that can actually disrupt the Blood Demon Arts of other demons. At first, her regeneration is slow due to her reliance on sleep, but as she grows in power, so do these abilities. Like most demons, she has regenerative abilities that are dependent on the strength of the individual demon. She quickly discovers the ability to change her size as she shrinks down to accommodate the box Tanjiro carries her in during the day. Beginning with simply refusing human blood, even when presented to her, Nezuko proves that she's powerful in mind first. Throughout the anime and manga series, fans see her abilities develop and grow. That hasn't stopped her from becoming incredibly powerful, though. Since Muzan Kibutsuji is also the person who turned Nezuko, it's safe to say that she is also more powerful than her sweet appearance would suggest. He is the leader of the Twelve Kizuki, the most powerful demons in existence next to him, and each of them has received a questionable amount of his blood. The demons he feeds his blood to are notably powerful. Muzan Kibutsuji, however, is the King of Demons. Tanjiro couldn't bring himself to kill her because she's his little sister, but other warriors who fight her kind have no such notion. Although she struggles to communicate the way that she once could, she has retained enough of her humanity that even other demon slayers haven't taken her out. Nezuko is a demon who fights on the side of demon slayers. Beyond that, she travels with Tanjiro in a little light-tight box that he carries around like a backpack. She has never devoured human flesh, and even in her most desperate moments, she refuses to do so.

This is just one of many ways that Nezuko has refused to conform to the expectations of a demon.
