[Demon Slayer/Twelve-Gwi-Wol] Why did Nakime help Muzan so much but end up killing the upper class!!!

Among the twelve Gwi-ol, there was one woman who was particularly quiet and reserved, and whose only loyalty lay with Muzan. That woman was Nakime.

01) The Real Reason Nakime Resonated with the Audience at the Concert

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/5d/04/cb/5d04cb31d80b91aa71bd2fb65e07408e.jpg

While the manga "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" doesn't reveal much about Nakime's past, her human background was revealed in a fan book. Nakime was originally an unknown lute player who struggled to make ends meet. Her husband's gambling addiction caused significant hardship for their family, and the fatal blow came when he gambled away his only possession, a performance suit. Unable to tolerate his irresponsible behavior any longer, Nakime ultimately beat him to death.

However, because Nakime was already preparing for her performance that day, she appeared on stage in shabby attire. Initially, the audience reacted with disapproval due to her appearance and demeanor, but the extreme tension and trepidation evoked by the murder infused her lute performance with a peculiar depth, creating a deeply moving tone. Thanks to this, audiences gradually became captivated by the sound of her lute, and Nakime's music was met with acclaim.

Later, Nakime developed a peculiar habit of killing people whenever she played, which also served to infuse her lute with a special energy. Her profound performance captivated audiences, and her concerts became increasingly famous.

One day, while out hunting as usual, Nakime happened to choose Muzan as her target for murder. When she attempted to attack Muzan, he instead took a liking to her, and instead of devouring her, he transformed her into a Blood Demon and made her his confidant. The blood demon technique "Infinity," which Nakime had developed, proved extremely useful and became a crucial element of Muzan's strategy.

01-1) Nakime's Role and Activities as a Blood Demon

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/fc/cf/e3/fccfe3e72932d38f49ff0257db25d1f8.jpg

After becoming a Blood Demon, Nakime acted under Muzan's command as the 4th sage of Twelve-GwiWol. She used her lute-playing ability to alter the spatial structure of her surroundings, disorienting enemies with her blood demon technique, "Infinity." This blood demon technique created a massive castle, created by Nakime, trapping enemies within it and altering its internal structure to restrict the Demon Slayer Corps' movements.

In the story, Nakime, known as the "Biwa Maiden" among the Blood Demons, rarely engaged in direct combat, but specialized in spatial manipulation and tactical support. She was the first to appear when Muzan summoned the Upper Sages, and subsequently contributed to repelling the Demon Slayer Corps' attacks on numerous occasions using her Infinity Blood Demon technique.

However, Nakime's physical strength was weak, and her direct attack power was relatively weak. She primarily focused on spatial manipulation, and in battle, she was unable to inflict significant damage, serving only as a supporter. Furthermore, despite being Muzan's confidant, she ultimately met an unfortunate end, being mentally controlled and manipulated by Yushiro. Many fans criticize Nakime's characterization and emotional portrayal as being lacking. Unlike the Blood Demons' distinctive personalities, Nakime's expressionless demeanor and lack of dialogue make it difficult for readers to empathize with her. Furthermore, some criticize her past, which doesn't appear in the main story but only exists in the fanbook, as a convenient setting for the story.

01-2) The Uniqueness of Nakime and the Blood Demon Art "Infinity"

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3d/42/56/3d42568434119c41bfce677a36d777f9.jpg

Nakime's Blood Demon Art "Infinity" is a unique ability that is considered out of the norm. Compared to ordinary Sangseon, it possesses the unique power to manipulate space at will, allowing her to create an infinite castle to trap enemies and employ various defensive and offensive tactics. This Blood Demon Art is distinct from the Blood Demon Art of other Sangseon. While Nakime's own combat prowess was not exceptional, this art significantly influenced the outcome of battles. What's unusual is that Nakime's "Infinity" Blood Demon Art was already effective before she became a Blood Demon. This demonstrates her potential as a genius spacemanipulator, rather than a mere combat prowess. However, fans remain skeptical and disappointed about how well this ability was fully explained in the story.

01-3) Nakime's Evaluation and Role Within Twelve-GwiWol

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/53/b6/1f/53b61f30b7ba94495e1aa999a641d1ac.jpg

Even within Twelve-GwiWol, Nakime occupies a very delicate position. Throughout the story, she displays little emotional expression or narrative, possesses minimal direct combat prowess, and rarely makes a decisive move, leaving a lasting impression on readers. Furthermore, despite being a close associate of Muzan, Nakime is exploited by Yushiro and ultimately killed by Muzan, resulting in a disappointing ending.

Nakime's strategic deployment and training are considered a failure in the final battle. For example, sending the powerful Joker character Genya to Kokushibo was a mistake that wasted maximum strength, negatively impacting the battle. Fans and critics have interpreted her role negatively, even going so far as to joke that she attempted to rebel against her superiors.

Nevertheless, Nakime's infinity space manipulation ability was effective in buying time and restricting enemy movement, and it certainly contributed to halting some of the Demon Slayer Corps' attacks. However, it's a shame that if Nakime's abilities and character had been more deeply explored, the battles and story would have been much richer.

01-4) Conclusion

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/53/fd/46/53fd4652cf53a51a076c708ea3a18eb0.jpg

Nakime occupies a unique yet complex position in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Having lived a tragic life as a nameless lute player in her human days, she was discovered by Muzan and transformed into a space manipulator with the powerful blood demon technique "Infinity." Her performance, combined with the extreme act of murder, produces a unique tone. During her Blood Demon period, she focused on strategic support and spatial manipulation rather than combat. However, her limitations as a Blood Demon were clearly revealed, and her emotional and narrative depth was somewhat disappointing to fans. Nevertheless, thanks to her unique and powerful ability, the "Infinity" Blood Demon Art, she exerted influence within the Twelve Demon Moons and played a meaningful role in the final battle.

Through these qualities, Nakime can be evaluated not only as a simple combat character, but also as a strategic device and mediator within the story. Furthermore, she presents a challenge to the creator, requiring a more three-dimensional understanding through fan fiction and supporting settings.

02) The Reason Nakime, the Biwa Maiden, Sings from the 6th String

When Nakime sings the 6th string, she starts from 6th, then 1, 2, 3, and 4th. The reason for this sequence is not clearly explained in the story. Fandom sources like Namu Wiki list the reason as "unknown," but speculation and interpretations regarding this mystery continue.

Considering the relationship between Nakime and 6th string "Kamanue," we can infer the background of Nakime's singing from 6th. Kamanue is known as a Blood Demon who recently joined the 6th string of the Twelve Demon Moons. Given that Nakime has been controlling numerous demons by manifesting her blood demon technique, "Infinity," it is believed that the two share a deep connection. Nakime utilizes the Blood Demon Art "Infinity" to manipulate space itself, trapping and disrupting enemies. The Lower 6th appears to have played a significant role in the management and operation of this Blood Demon Art. Lower 6th Kamanue is considered a seasoned and skilled figure among the Blood Demons and is believed to be a key figure in Nakime's effective use of the Blood Demon Art, which involves spatial manipulation and management.

Based on this relationship, Nakime likely first summoned Lower 6th, who joined last but were crucial in terms of capabilities and roles, considering trust and operational efficiency. This suggests that the order was not simply based on rank or rank, but rather a strategic choice based on the urgency and importance of the mission.

Furthermore, given that the order in which Nakime summoned the Lower 6th was not random, this numerical order may be linked to the spatial structure or operational deployment of the Blood Demon Art "Infinity." It is likely that the order of summoning was determined by each Lower 6th's area or role, in conjunction with their spatial manipulation abilities. Therefore, even without an official explanation in the work, fans and commentators believe that the fact that they were called in order, starting from 6, suggests that Nakime strategically combined her Blood Demon Jutsu with the placement of the Blood Demons in the Lower Zone.

02-1) The Relationship between Kamanue, the Lower Zone 6, and Nakime

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/9e/4e/b7/9e4eb74561538e5f27f88c90820a5d68.jpg

Kamanue, the Lower Zone 6, was one of the last Blood Demons to join Twelve-GwiWol, possessing a distinctive facial tattoo and strong physical abilities. He was a key figure within Nakime's Blood Demon Jutsu, "Infinity," managing the Lower Zones and other demons, alleviating chaos within the Infinity Zone, and supporting operations.

Kamanue faithfully and skillfully performed her duties in her position, while maintaining a complementary relationship with Nakime, despite being a lower-ranking member of the Lower Zone. Nakime manipulated space itself, while Kamanue assisted with controlling actions and tactical maneuvers within that space. This can be interpreted as why Nakime prioritized Kamanue when calling the Lower Zones. Kamanue's expertise effectively bound the Lower Phase Blood Demons and the Sub-Phase Blood Demons into a self-sufficient yet controlled group, greatly contributing to maximizing the effects of the "infinity" created by Nakime's Blood Demon Art. This complementary division of roles likely served as the basis for Nakime's selection of the Lower Phase 6th Demons, considering their operational efficiency and leadership.

02-2) Strategic Deployment and Tactical Significance of the Calling Order

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ad/87/67/ad87678ec2fbbddba7587786308b8ca9.jpg

Nakime's selection of the Lower Phase Blood Demons, beginning with Lower Phase 6th Demons, was likely not a simple arrangement of ranks or numbers, but rather a strategic choice related to the role of each Lower Phase Blood Demon and its placement within the Blood Demon Art's "infinity."

While the Twelve-GwiWol Blood Demons possessed independent combat abilities and abilities, Nakime focused on luring surrounding Blood Demons into specific spaces and maximizing their abilities through his spatial manipulation Blood Demon Art. Accordingly, each of the lower demons had different positions and duties within the space created by Nakime, and the summoning order likely reflected this prioritization of duties.

Notably, lower demons 1 through 6 were not all summoned, and the other lower demons had not yet appeared or been summoned. The summoning order, starting with lower demon 6, is likely interpreted as reflecting the importance of each lower demon's mission, their responsibility in the operational area, and Nakime's intention to summon the Blood Demons she directly controls and trusts in order.

Furthermore, the summoning order may reflect this tactical deployment, providing clues to the division of roles among the lower demons within the infinite space of the Blood Demon Art and the command of Blood Demon forces. Similar to the harmonious arrangement of notes characteristic of the lute performance, this can be interpreted as implying the concept of musical and spatial arrangement in Nakime's command of the Blood Demons.

02-3) Conclusion

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8c/63/95/8c63954db74e430900c306f0161bf995.jpg

While there is no clear official explanation for why Nakime calls the lower halves in the order of 6, 1, 2, 3, and 4, it can be inferred from her close relationship with Kamanue, the sixth halve. Nakime possesses the spatial manipulation ability known as the Blood Demon Art "Infinity," and it appears she first called Kamanue, who plays a crucial role in her strategic tactics aimed at maximizing this ability.

This summoning order is not simply a matter of rank, but rather a strategic choice based on the placement of the lower halves Blood Demons, their mission importance, their reliability, and their tactical role within the Blood Demon Art space. Therefore, it is reasonable to understand Nakime's sequential summoning of Kamanue, starting from the sixth halve, as part of her strategic troop management within the space through Infinity.

Thus, Nakime's summoning order implies tactical significance, combined with the spatial manipulation of the Blood Demon Art "Infinity," and serves as an important clue to the distribution of roles and leadership within the Blood Demon group. Although the work lacks a direct explanation, based on fandom inferences and interactions, it can be seen that Nakime's summoning from the sixth episode onward was a very intentional and strategic move.

03) Emotionless Nakime

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b0/50/e2/b050e2d7ea02bcdeabf5a911bf13e76c.jpg

In "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," Nakime is uniquely one of the characters with virtually no emotional descriptions. Considering the series' meticulous handling of emotions and narrative, Nakime stands out as a truly exceptional figure. Her past is never directly revealed, and even in battle scenes, she is depicted as quietly carrying out her duties without any particularly intense emotional displays. In the pivotal final scene, after the first Twelve-GwiWol has been defeated, Nakime, the last remaining Twelve-GwiWol, remains. However, she is manipulated by Yushiro without a will or emotional dialogue, and Muzan blows her head off. There's also virtually no post-mortem description, making it difficult for readers to understand Nakime's feelings or thoughts.

Despite her exceptional combat prowess and demonic abilities, Nakime's character arc lacks depth and emotional expression. Her reserved and reserved personality reinforces this image of being expressionless and cold. This trait has led to Nakime functioning as an emotionless, "indifferent spatial manipulator" within the series, making it difficult for readers to immerse themselves in the story or empathize with her.

03-1) Lack of Emotional Description and the Consequential Evaluation

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/4f/e1/2c/4fe12cf689fcf73610f9c28b030a1882.jpg

Due to this, Nakime's characterization is often considered somewhat ambiguous, even among Twelve-GwiWol series. Many fans have pointed out that, in contrast to the rich inner characterization and emotional development of other characters in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Nakime's narrative is too weak. In particular, her tragic background as a human was only revealed in the fanbook and barely mentioned in the main story, failing to provide readers with empathy or an emotional connection.

The apathetic nature of Nakime's final moments further emphasizes this. Despite being one of the key Blood Demons, she departs without leaving a lasting emotional impact, disappointing many fans. For this reason, some criticize Nakime as the most narratively inadequate of the Twelve Demons.

However, some interpret this as intentional. Nakime's reserved, emotionless, and expressionless appearance aligns with her image as a cold and ruthless space-bender, much like her "Infinity" Blood Demon Art. Furthermore, with the potential for narrative enhancements in additional media, such as the theatrical anime, there's still room for reevaluation as the story unfolds.

03-2) The Meaning of Nakime's Expressionlessness and Silence

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/44/6f/4e/446f4e035bd59a5a53d4d48f4af97d00.jpg

Nakime is interesting in that she isn't simply portrayed as an introverted character who hides her emotions, but rather as a "mystical being" with little emotional expression throughout the story. Her Infinity Blood Demon Art, which she unleashed upon becoming a Blood Demon, is a spatial manipulation ability, giving the impression that, like space, she is emotionally neutral and detached from capricious emotions.

This characterization aligns with Nakime's strategic and calculating role within the Blood Demon organization. In other words, she was designed as a character suited to cool-headed spatial manipulation and command of Blood Demons, rather than a character focused on battles or emotional drama. This image of her as an emotionless being reflects the nature of her Blood Demon Arts and mission.

In this sense, Nakime serves as an "emotionless tool" in the story, symbolically imprinting the reader with the ruthlessness and indifference of the Blood Demon group. This aspect of hers clearly contributes to the amplification of the horror and coldness inherent in the world of Demon Slayer.

03-3) Nakime's Narrative Limitations and Potential

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/5a/6a/17/5a6a175d3ba77c2eb5bc56549c2df105.jpg

However, despite this setting, many readers and critics consider Nakime to be an overly marginalized character within the overall story. Despite being one of the major Blood Demons, she receives minimal narrative space and emotional portrayal, resulting in a lack of understanding and empathy for the character.

This narrative deficiency, unless supported by fan fiction and external settings, limits the ability to establish Nakime's presence and influence. Many voices have raised concerns, particularly regarding the fact that in the main story, Nakime is portrayed as an "empty shell," not only in combat but also internally. While Nakime's Blood Demon Art, "Infinity," is a unique and powerful ability, it lacks a close connection to her inner self, resulting in a disconnect between her abilities and her character.

On the other hand, there is hope that future media, such as the animated film, may delve deeper into Nakime's past and inner self. This could fill some of the void felt by existing fans and allow her to be reborn as a more narratively complete character.

03-4) Conclusion

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8c/7d/0f/8c7d0f4c0627fd03b88bb3f267ea4539.jpg

Nakime is one of the characters in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba whose emotional descriptions and narrative are most lacking. She is a reserved character who rarely speaks and reveals her inner feelings. Even at crucial moments, she meets her end helplessly, without a will or emotional response. This characteristic, coupled with her role as a cold-blooded spatial manipulator within the Blood Demon clan, has led to her being viewed by fans as lacking narrative depth.

Despite being a tactical Blood Demon possessing the powerful "Infinity" technique, Nakime possesses a unique characterization that coexists with emptiness and subtlety. However, with future anime and other narrative enhancements, she could become a more three-dimensional character, making her worthy of attention.

04) Nakime, Trying to Appeal to Muzan, Destroyed All the Upper Demons

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/9e/c2/76/9ec276cf3b734043960dbb584bd2a526.jpg

In "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," Nakime is a character with a unique and complex approach. Using her blood demon technique, "Infinity," she controlled the Twelve-GwiWol Upper Demons and played a significant role in strategic battlefield operations. While she appears talented at efficiently allocating resources and handling issues, her poor decisions ultimately led to the annihilation of all the Twelve-GwiWol Upper Demons.

04-1) Best Efforts, Worst Results

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/bf/84/69/bf84699c2cceb62e6f549f36c8b1b54c.jpg

Nakime meticulously deployed her staff, sending Shinobu to Douma's side and sending Muichiro to meet Kokushibo. While these actions demonstrate her exceptional managerial skills, they ultimately resulted in the tragic deaths of all the Twelve-GwiWol she helped. While she may have done her best, her choices ultimately worsened the situation. Among fans, there was some derision, suggesting that this move was a deliberate attempt to curry favor with Muzan and sway him from his superiors.

Nevertheless, it's acknowledged that this scattered deployment of the Upper Demons bought time by holding back the Demon Slayer Corps' main force. This allowed Muzan to successfully detoxify Tamayo's humanization potion without interruption. However, if Nakime's goal was to buy time, it would have been far more effective to use Blood Demon Jutsu to continuously alter the space, keeping the Demon Slayer Corps members away from Muzan and protecting the Upper Blood Demons, rather than intentionally scattering the Lower Demons.

04-2) Strategic Mistakes and a Simpler, Complete Strategy

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/ea/58/c6/ea58c613aa433b6b0b0c1edd91c4fe80.jpg

Nakime's strategy had several drawbacks. For example, the Upper Demons' simultaneous gathering against the Demon Slayer Corps resulted in a significant loss of combat power. If Nakime had employed a strategy of individual defeat, leaving two or so Upper Demons on the front lines and summoning Ju (regular Blood Demons with Blood Demon Arts) one by one to strike and kill the Dagul, then summoning another Blood Demon to kill them, it would have been much more effective.

Of course, Upper Demons are selfish and proud, uncooperative, and prone to betrayal. Furthermore, their extreme hatred of the weak and aversion to cowardice, like martial artists, may have made such a tactic difficult to implement perfectly. However, it seems entirely possible to deploy a strategy that forces a one-on-one battle between one Ju and one Upper Demon.

04-3) Worst Matchup in a Critical Situation: Genya and Kokushibo

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/a0/10/0c/a0100c3a674843222c8e955d927fa051.jpg

A particularly critical mistake, pointed out by fans and critics alike, was sending Genya to Kokushibo. Genya is a joker-like character who becomes stronger based on the opponent he consumes. Eating a body part from a regular demon makes him a lower-level demon, but eating a higher-level demon makes him strong enough to fight on equal terms with the higher-level demon.

When Genya confronted the Kokushibo, he temporarily became the strongest demon slayer in the group, inflicting critical damage on the Kokushibo, which even Kyomei could not defeat. Ultimately, Genya died from the Kokushibo's self-destruction. However, had he survived, his powerful inner self would have been revealed, posing an even greater threat to the Blood Demons. Therefore, the failure to strategically position Genya is considered a matchmaking error and a crucial factor in wasting Muzan's best forces.

Had Genya been placed in front of Kaigaku, even a miraculous power-up would have made it difficult to make a decisive impact on the battle. This has led to the Genya-Kokushibo pairing earning it the reputation of a "worst matchup."

04-4) Nakime's Combat Power and Role Limitations

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/49/30/ef/4930ef1fd242a076a704a7212e394eaf.jpg

It's difficult to clearly assess Nakime's combat power. She has few direct combat scenes, and against Mitsuri and Obanai, she stalled the situation by manipulating spatial structures, failing to inflict direct damage. Furthermore, she was captured and manipulated by Yushiro, making her difficult to consider physically powerful. Instead, she played a supporting role, providing strategic coordination.

Although she was a key character, having appeared before the Summoning of the Supreme Beings, her limited dialogue and her seemingly pointless death after a mere support role have earned her a negative reception from fans. Furthermore, the mechanisms of the Infinite Demonic Art and Nakime's growth into the Supreme Being are insufficiently explained, leaving open the question of why she possesses such powerful spatial manipulation abilities.

04-5) Conclusion

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/75/90/d2/7590d2160122b1a912f571d7603e7a40.jpg

Nakime played a key role in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba as a tactical manager and spatial manipulator, but ultimately, she led to the tragic annihilation of all Twelve Demon Moons. While she strategically deployed various characters appropriately, leveraging her abilities and position, she made fatal mistakes in dispersing her forces and managing her manpower, and even made poor choices like the Genya-Kokushibo matchup in urgent situations.

This led to some fan ridicule, accusing her of seeking quick promotion to impress Muzan. On the one hand, the fact that these scattered upper classes delayed the Demon Slayers' attack, allowing Muzan to successfully detoxify Tamayo's humanization potion, can be considered positive. However, her tactical effectiveness and composition left much to be desired, and Nakime's actions and ending have been met with mixed reviews within the series.

05) Nakime's Biggest Mystery: How Did He Unleash a Non-Standard, Fraudulent Blood Demon Jutsu, Like Infinity?

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/33/74/2a/33742afd31e29c7198908d8d066d738c.jpg

Nakime, the 4th generation Blood Demon from "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," is a Blood Demon possessing the unique Blood Demon Jutsu, "Infinity." However, the biggest question facing fans and readers about Nakime is how this Blood Demon Jutsu was manifested, and why is Nakime the only one whose mental and physical connection to Blood Demon Jutsu never revealed?

Other 4th generation Blood Demons often exhibited their Blood Demon Jutsu related to their human mental and physical characteristics or the martial arts they mastered. For example, Kokushibo, Kaigaku, and Akaza, who were both swordsmen and martial artists, developed their breathing and martial arts skills into Blood Demon Jutsu, while Douma, a psychopathic character devoid of emotion, acquired the ability to control cold air. Kyoko projected her artistic inclinations into her Blood Demon Jutsu, and Hantengu, overcome with his cowardly nature, manifested Blood Demon Jutsu by creating clones to protect himself. Taki and Gyutaro, using the obi and sickle they wielded since childhood, transformed them into parts of their bodies and used them as Blood Demon Jutsu. In this way, many Blood Demon Jutsus are closely linked to human experiences and personality traits, and there are numerous instances where they manifest.

However, Nakime is the only one who lacks this connection. Unlike other upperclassmen, the background of her Infinite Blood Demon Jutsu, or the associated mental and physical characteristics, is not revealed. Readers are left in the dark about how and why her Infinite Blood Demon Jutsu came to be.

05-1) The Disconnect between Nakime's Blood Demon Jutsu and Her Human Life

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/64/35/9d/64359d53c2d829bcc8e1a1b58afa8897.jpg

Nakime was an unknown biwa player in her human days, a figure far removed from combat. A musician with no deep connection to combat, she gradually gained power after becoming a goblin, starting as a regular Blood Demon and eventually becoming a Sanghyeon. However, it is believed that Infinity already functioned as a powerful blood demon technique beyond its standard form even before her promotion.

While the Infinity Blood Demon technique utilizes the lute, a part of Nakime's body, as a medium, there is no direct correlation between playing the lute itself and the manifestation of the Blood Demon technique. In other words, playing the lute is not a simple extension of the Infinity Blood Demon technique, nor is there a clear connection between the two. This is highly unusual and explains why Nakime's characterization lacks the background or explanation to support the natural emergence of a fraudulent blood demon technique like Infinity.

On the other hand, other goblins with spatial blood demon techniques share an artistic flair. For example, Nakime and Kyogai possess the ability to manipulate space through their musical performances, and Kyoko also incorporated artistry into his blood demon technique. This suggests that Nakime's human past as a lute player is related to her spatial manipulation abilities, but this explanation is insufficient to directly link her to the manifestation of her Blood Demon Jutsu.

05-2) Fanbook Setting and the Deus Ex Machina Controversy

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/webp/1200x/0e/6c/94/0e6c940b5a4f82d3f7dad15fd3cc5097.webp

Details of Nakime's past were revealed only through fanbooks, not the main story. It's difficult to dispel the impression that this setting was added for convenience in the main plot. Readers have criticized the background of the emergence of the Infinite Blood Demon Jutsu as a "deus ex machina" for not naturally connecting with the overall narrative.

This also contradicts the fact that Nakime, before becoming an oni, only played the lute and had no special connection to combat. Furthermore, she was a normal Blood Demon who gradually grew stronger after becoming a Blood Demon. Infinite's origins are considered to be a high-level Blood Demon Jutsu. Many fans question the sudden emergence of such a powerful and unique ability without any supporting evidence or gradual explanation. Nonetheless, some believe Nakime was originally a mere Blood Demon, but after honing her Blood Demon Jutsu by devouring numerous humans, she developed it to its current infinite level. Furthermore, since Muzan doesn't elevate just any Blood Demon to the Upper Stage, Nakime must possess exceptional qualities as a Blood Demon, and some interpret this as being related to the emergence of the Infinite Blood Demon Jutsu.

05-3) The Originality and Mystery of Nakime's Blood Demon Jutsu

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/14/1a/b1/141ab115266d2a07f7f20854c6f17127.jpg

Infinite Blood Demon Jutsu is a powerful spatial manipulation ability, possessing unique characteristics even among Upper Stage Blood Demons. Unlike typical Blood Demon Jutsus that develop from human characteristics or temperament, Nakime's Infinite Jutsu appears to exist independently. For example, unlike Kokushibo's swordsmanship or Douma's cold manipulation, her Blood Demon Jutsu lacks a clear motivation and background, which is why it is considered an "unconventional" Blood Demon Jutsu outside of the standard. The mystery surrounding the emergence of Infinity adds depth to Nakime's character, but it can also be seen as a limitation in the author's inability to fully integrate the narrative while creating a unique character with spatial manipulation abilities. Consequently, her presence has been criticized by fans for "convenience in the setting" and "imbalance in the story."

05-4) Conclusion

Source : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/dd/e6/19/dde61904f708094f67dcc0ef8c6066a3.jpg

The biggest mystery surrounding Nakime is the complete lack of information on how she manifested her non-standard, fraudulent Blood Demon Jutsu, like Infinity. Unlike other sages who demonstrate Blood Demon Jutsu, which is closely linked to their personalities and experiences during their human years, Nakime's Blood Demon Jutsu, while unique in its infinite spatial manipulation abilities, lacks any information related to her human years or mental characteristics.

While Nakime's past as a lute player in her human days and the shared artistic nature of Blood Demons with spatial Blood Demon Jutsu suggest a connection, this alone is insufficient to explain her Infinity Blood Demon Jutsu. Due to the fact that detailed past information only appears in fanbooks and the lack of in-game explanations, the Infinite Demonic Art has been criticized as a convenient setting or a deus ex machina.

Considering these points, Nakime's Infinite Demonic Art is a unique yet mysterious demonic art, making it one of the most fraudulent demonic arts in the series. However, its background and the reasons for its emergence are currently unknown. This could be further strengthened in future anime or additional material.

That's All
