Demon Slayer season 2 episode 14 introduced the new ‘Gyutaro’, but where does this new enemy come from and what is his strength?

Demon Slayer is known for its excellent villains, from the overshadowed Master Muzan and the late Akaza, to the Nightmare Spider-Man family from season 1.

However, the most terrifying Demon just got his big introduction, a blood brother to Daki… the infamous Gyutaro.

Now, as fans around the world patiently await episode 15 of Demon Slayer 2, we explore Gyutaro’s past and powers.

Who is the new devil?

In season 2, episode 14 of Demon Slayer, a new Demon appears behind Daki’s back after Tengen realizes that she’s not dead, even after being decapitated.

The new demon is called ‘Gyutaro’, he is Daki’s older brother and a team member of the Sixth Superior, also part of the ‘Twelve Kizuki’, i.e. the 12 strongest Demons in existence.

He appeared as a relatively tall man with a hunchback build, fair skin, and messy black hair. Gyutaro is extremely muscular and toned, with a torso marked by an extremely thin waist – seemingly having his hip joints grow inward.

Although highly praised Tengen in season 2 episode 14, Gyutaro is extremely self-centered and jealous of other people’s traits – especially those around him. When Tengen reveals that he has three wives, Gyutaro swipes his own face and rips off his torso out of jealousy.

While he was clearly a very evil Demon; His love for his sister Daki is one of the strongest aspects of the character. His first instinct when he emerged was to comfort her, even to acknowledge her feelings during his battle with Lord Tengen.

What is Gyutaro’s strength?

Gyutaro is a member of the superior demon and as such, has superior physical attributes and strength suitable for combat.
