Strengths
- After consuming the medicine Blue Spider Lily, he has special types of blood that can transform humans into mutated creatures known as demons. Those who are given his blood have special abilities like quick generation, immortality, and accelerated growth rate. He can enhance the demon’s ability by giving them more blood. But the recipient’s ability to receive his blood is limited, and if they can’t withstand it, they would self-destruct into a giant mass of flesh before disintegrating into ash.
- To all demons he injects his blood to, he can control them and manipulate them into doing damage to others.
- He puts a curse on all the demons, he injects his blood into. If any demons divulged the name Kibutsuji out loud, it would cause three demonic arms to spawn from their bodies and destroy them. That’s why the demon that serves Muzan addressed him as that man or him so they couldn’t trigger the curse.
