Kaigaku is a formidable adversary, possessing a unique blend of powerful demonic abilities and mastery over a complex breathing style, making him a dangerous opponent within the Demon Slayer universe. His primary abilities stem from his Blood Demon Art and his profound skill in Thunder Breathing.
Blood Demon Art: Electrokinesis
As a demon, Kaigaku's most distinctive power is his electrokinesis, which forms his specialized Blood Demon Art. This ability allows him to:
- Generate and manipulate black-colored lightning and electricity directly from his flesh and blood.
- This black lightning is not only visually distinct but also incredibly destructive, enhancing his offensive capabilities.
- He can infuse his attacks with this electricity, making his strikes more potent and capable of paralyzing or incinerating opponents.
- His control over this power is precise, enabling him to discharge it in various forms, from focused strikes to area-of-effect attacks.
Thunder Breathing Style
Before becoming a demon, Kaigaku was a practitioner of Thunder Breathing, a style renowned for its incredible speed and explosive power. While he never mastered the First Form of Thunder Breathing, his proficiency in the Second through Sixth Forms is exceptional. Upon transforming into a demon, he integrated these techniques seamlessly with his Blood Demon Art, creating a highly lethal combat style.
His use of Thunder Breathing allows for:
- Lightning-fast movements and unparalleled agility, making him difficult to track and evade.
- Powerful, precise strikes that utilize the momentum and focus of the breathing technique.
- Enhanced synergy with his electrokinesis, where his breathing forms are amplified by the black lightning, delivering devastating blows that combine physical force with electrical discharge.
For instance, when performing a rapid dash, Kaigaku can shroud himself in black lightning, further increasing his speed and making him an electrified projectile.
Enhanced Demonic Physiology
Like all demons, Kaigaku possesses a range of supernatural attributes that significantly boost his combat effectiveness and survival:
- Superhuman Strength: Far exceeding human capabilities, allowing him to easily overpower most adversaries.
- Incredible Speed and Reflexes: His natural demonic speed is further amplified by his Thunder Breathing, making him one of the faster demons.
- Advanced Regeneration: He can rapidly heal from severe injuries, including dismemberment, making him incredibly resilient in battle.
- Enhanced Durability: His body is far more resistant to damage than a human's, capable of withstanding attacks that would be fatal to mortals.
- Agelessness: As a demon, he does not age, granting him eternal life unless slain by a Nichirin Blade or sunlight.
