Since the release of the third season I've often thought about the upper moons bdas, mainly about Gyokko's and Hantengu's. And I think especially Hantengu's has been really underestimated. In my opinion, it has a lot of potential and is probably even more terrifying than most of the other's blood demon arts if you try to imagine it in a realistic setting. So I thought I'd share some of my thoughts for those interested.

Urogi's scream ⊹ His power is probably one of the most underrated ones. And interestingly, the one power that most of them share - him, Zohakuten, Urami and Hantengu's main body.

A lot of people underestimate the danger of loud noise. Not only is it crucial for demon slayers to be able to hear their surroundings to identify where an unseen attacker might come from - the ear is also the balance organ. Seeing Tanjiro struggling to hold his balance during his fight with Urogi would have been a nice detail.

Judging from the effect that Urogi's screams had on Tanjiro, I think it's safe to say his screams are above 120 decibel, which is when it actually starts to be painful. Sounds above 150 decibel burst your eardrums while sounds above 185 damage internal organs and can be deadly. I am not sure of the total range of his volume, but Zohakuten demonstrated that he coul rip someone apart with his scream. Mitsuri only survived because of her special muscle densitiy.

Also, sound travels faster through water. Urogi could e.g. pick up his victim and drop them into a body of water before diving under and screaming at them, causing a lot more damage. Of course his feathers would need to be water-repellent. And not even taking into account his power, just utilizing his ability to just pick up a weaker slayer and drop them into a lake for example, would already debilitate them, as it's difficult to get out or they might even drown if they can't swim.

Sekido's lightning ⊹ His power would obviously be extremely powerful if it worked like actual lightning. But in the anime/manga he rather imitates lightning. Aside from the obvious fact that physics laws don't seem to exist in most media and we're dealing with a dark fantasy anime, it's still fun to imagine his power as realistic as possible.

Sekido could make people's heart stop, partially blind them and even cause the blood vessels in their brain to burst. Those few who survive to tell of the demon's power would be marked by unique patterns stretching across the skin where lightning hit, known as Lichtenberg figures. Perhaps blinded and deaf, they wouldn't be able to fight anymore.

Even though most people who get hit by lightning survive without major injuries, it's still a unique power that is perfect for stunning an opponent. I suppose the author made him appear weaker for the plot. In a fanfiction it would have a lot of potential though.

Urami's size ⊹ This is mainly about how terrifying his size actually is. He's twice as tall as Tanjiro, standing at about three metres or nine feet tall. Imagine being in Tanjiro's situation and having Urami's giant hands wrapped around your head. The immense pressure would be insane. Genya really was Tanjiro's savior in that moment.

Additionally, it was interesting to see him not burning up immediately when hit by the sunlight. The scene was definitely stretched and felt longer than it actually was, but he still didn't make an effort to find shade. Comparing this to Akaza, who seemed terrified by the upcoming sun, indicating he is likely not as resistant to the sun despite having a higher rank, this seems like Hantengu developed a bit of a resistance to the sun even if only for a few seconds. Or this might be a unique feature about the clones. Since Urami is not the main body, he might be able to regenerate faster than the sun destroys his cells as long as the main body is safe and therefore survive longer when hit by sunlight.

Small headcanons of physical appearance for my babies:

Hime is having some chubbiness on her body to keep her able to use her shape-shifting abilities that she inherented from her mother. She got so far and good that she can transform into a giant, 9 feet tall sabertooth tiger. Her fangs are also thicker and longer than the usual demon for that as well.

Hirakugo's torso is all covered in deep, dark red scars that he had from fights (with his sister) and are, unfortunately, sensitive as fuck. Poke him there, and he'll hiss in pain. He's still applying gel and healing creams on them to heal (Hime cried and apologized a lot and often about that, and he forgave her, of course.)

Much enthusiasm, but hell, alright! Yet, with the clones... Ain't it gonna be too much?

(I wanna call dibs on Urami and Sekido.)

@hantengudelulu

Listen, I don't know how that popped up out of nowhere in my head, but what if there were just women who are like, comforters for the uppermoons? Like, just used to calm the demons down when they're aggressive for no reason and make sure they can relax at least in some way? Like, just cuddling, massaging, emotionally comforting? Ya get me?

What?

And no.

I'm stealing both of them. No one is stopping me.

Love it

Muzan, speaking to the Upper Moons: Today is the day we reveal to Japan the existence of the League of Villainous Evildoers Maniacally United for Frightening Investments in Naughtiness! Kokushibo: You want us to be called L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.?

@hantengudelulu @virtuousweakling "He is not one of us" from LK2 sounds more right, especially if we're talking about his youth life. Poor guy trying to fit in, but always causing trouble in some way.

TRY AND TELL ME HARPY HARE ISNT ABOUT HANTENGU CAUSE IT IS 🥺 (lyrics below)

All the arrows that you've stolen

Split in half, now bum and broken

Like your heart that was so eager to be hid

They will fight and run away

You can't keep them all caged

Forest walls and starry ceilings

Harpy Hare, where have you buried all your children?

Mother, tell me, so I say (la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)

Barren curtains that you're weaving

Like the stories that you keep inside your head

She can't keep them all safe

They will die and be afraid

Mother, tell me, so I say (mother, tell me, so I say)

Tried to draw the thron crown of Christ and the nails that they used to crucify him.

Amen to our Father in Heaven, who died for our sins.🙌🙏

.....

Why?

I edited Hantengu crouching in my room

@hantengudelulu

I believe Hakuma is absolutely done with them, huh?

I love those three, they're just so stupid and squishable
