Spoiler warning: This manga-wide comparison discusses demons and abilities revealed across the story. Demon Slayer does not provide an official ranking of the Twelve Kizuki’s Blood Demon Arts, so “best” here means the most distinctive and practically versatile abilities supported by the available descriptions—not the strongest demon or a guaranteed winner in a fight. The examples below are selective, not a complete catalogue.
How this comparison works
A demon’s rank, physical strength, skill, and regeneration are not the same thing as the usefulness of its Blood Demon Art. This comparison considers an art’s range, battlefield control, lethality, versatility, and distinctiveness. Where the cited material does not establish a limitation or counter, this article does not assume one.
| Character | Ability described in the sources | What makes it notable |
|---|---|---|
| Gyokko | Fish-like demon minions, turning touched objects into fish, and a water-prison pot | A varied set of attacks and trapping options |
| Kyogai | Drum-driven attacks | A clear example of an ability affecting the surrounding space |
| Yahaba | Directional-force arrows | Can influence movement and create opportunities for a partner |
| Susamaru | Temari-ball attacks | A distinctive projectile-based fighting style, especially notable in a paired encounter |
| Enmu | Dream-related power | A striking concept; the sources cited here do not establish enough detail to assess its limits |
| Akaza | Martial-arts-based combat and respect for strong opponents are noted in official material | His character context is documented, but rank alone does not establish his art’s comparative place |
Notable Blood Demon Arts
Gyokko: the most varied examples in this comparison
Gyokko’s art has the broadest range of concrete functions among the examples detailed in the research: it can produce fish-like demon minions, turn objects he touches into fish, and trap a target in a water-filled pot. Those examples make his ability notable for variety, battlefield control, and incapacitation. This is a comparison of described functions, not a claim that Gyokko is canonically the strongest Kizuki.
These details come from Crunchyroll’s 2023 character guide, a secondary source. It should not be treated as an official, exhaustive taxonomy of every move.

#1 Best Overall
Kyogai: an ability that uses the environment
The official anime character portal describes Kyogai as a former Twelve Kizuki member who attacks with drums. That makes him a useful example of an art tied to the surrounding space, rather than only a direct attack on an opponent. The available reference does not support the article’s former claims about specific room-rotation rules or combat phases.
Yahaba and Susamaru: a distinctive paired threat
The official anime portal describes Yahaba as controlling arrows and Susamaru as controlling temari balls. SEGA’s official game character page adds that Yahaba’s arrows manipulate directional forces. Together, their abilities illustrate how two different powers can complement one another in a paired fight. Their combination should not be mistaken for one shared Blood Demon Art.
Enmu: a memorable concept, with limits not established here
The official Mugen Train character page identifies Enmu as Lower One and says Muzan gave him blood. The research also identifies his power as dream-related, but the sources collected here do not establish enough detail to make fine-grained claims about its exact mechanics, counters, or limitations. His rank is factual context, not proof that his art outranks another demon’s.
Akaza: rank and character are not an art ranking
Official Mugen Train material identifies Akaza as Upper Three and describes his martial-arts training and respect for strong opponents. Those facts help establish his character, but they do not amount to an official comparison of his Blood Demon Art against others. Treating his rank as a score for the art would conflate the demon’s standing with the ability’s utility.

There is no canonical answer. If “best” means the most varied set of documented functions in this comparison, Gyokko is a defensible editorial pick: the cited guide describes minions, transformation of touched objects, and a trapping technique. If “best” means control of movement or the environment, Yahaba and Kyogai are notable examples for different reasons. These are criterion-based observations, not a definitive power scale.
For readers who want to check the manga source, Shueisha’s official Jump page identifies Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba as a manga series. The anime’s adapted arcs and character information are available through the official anime portal.

FAQ
Is there an official ranking of the best Blood Demon Arts?
No. The series establishes character ranks and shows abilities, but it does not publish a universal ranking of which art is best. Any such list should be labeled as editorial.
Are the Twelve Kizuki ranked by the strength of their Blood Demon Arts?
A Kizuki rank is not the same as a comparative score for an individual Blood Demon Art. Consider the demon’s rank separately from the ability’s range, control, versatility, and other demonstrated functions.

What are some of the Twelve Kizuki’s powers?
Among the examples covered here, Kyogai attacks with drums, Yahaba controls arrows that manipulate directional forces, and Gyokko’s art includes fish-like minions and a water-prison pot. The official anime portal and SEGA’s official character page describe selected characters and abilities; Crunchyroll’s guide provides secondary detail on Gyokko.
Does this list cover every Blood Demon Art?
No. It is a selective comparison based on the research sources available, not an exhaustive ability catalogue. A complete manga-wide list would require checking the relevant manga chapters or licensed volumes directly.
