Akaza

Let me tell you why you can't enter the realm of the highest. Because you're a human. Because you're going to grow old. Because you're going to die. Become a demon, Kyojuro. Do that, and you can go on training for a hundred, two hundred years. You can become stronger.

- Akaza to Kyojuro Rengoku

Info[]

Akaza's Blood Demon Art (affil. Shockwave Manipulation) takes the form of a martial arts style that resembles shockwave-like techniques. The shockwaves appear to be in a shade of blue and can be unleashed in both close and far range. This Blood Demon Art combined with the user's superhuman strength and speed makes them a formidable opponent in both close and ranged combat.

Trivia[]

Akaza's Compass Needle resembles the shape of a snowflake; possibly due to the influence of his fiancée (Koyuki's name contains the kanji for "snow", and she wears three snowflake-shaped hairpins).
Many of Akaza's attacks and techniques are named after fireworks, a reference to his promise to Koyuki to see the fireworks.
