Personality

At the beginning of the manga, Kyo is sadistic and enjoys slaughtering. He does not care about who he kills and is shown to kill anyone he doesn't like. As the manga progresses, his bloodlust slowly decreases, though he still kills without mercy. However, his true bloodlust is shown during his battle with Bikara. He attacks relentlessly and drags out the fight to further humiliate his opponent. This bloodlust surfaces again when he fights Oda Nobunaga.

Powers and abilities

Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Satsujin Ken (無明神風流殺人剣)

Demon Eyes Kyo's sword style is the Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Satsujin Ken (The Sword of a Devilish Wind), which was taught to him by Muramasa, his master and the man who made Kyo's sword. Muramasa Sengo (千子村正 Sengo Muramasa) was a famous Swordsmith who founded the Muramasa school and lived during the Muromachi period (16th It teaches standard fencing skills and defense, but they are far more powerful than any of the skills of other sword styles. It is the most powerful sword school in the Mibu Clan. is a Manga series written and illustrated by Akimine Kamijyo. Attacks are:

Mizuchi (蛟龙): An attack that uses the air to cut an opponent to pieces; a sub attack of Seiryu.

Quote: The god murdering sword technique "Mizuchi". Finishing Quote: You heard it too didn't you?. . . The voice of the wind.

The True Mizuchi (蛟龙): The true Mizuchi is Shin and the Mizuchi listed above combined to make an undeafetable attack, which Kyoshiro first used to kill the 6th demon king. Later Onime no Kyo learns to use the attack from Muramasa

Shin (蜃): An attack that creates an illusion of an opponent's worst nightmare, then kills him; an abbreviation of Shinkirou(蜃気楼) which means "Illusion".

Finishing Quote: You saw it too didn't you?. . . The Red Mirage.

Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Ougi (無明神風流奥義)

Mumyou Jinpu Ryu Ougi are the advanced techniques in the Mumyou Jinpu Ryu. The techniques are based on the Shishin, and each has its unique way of dealing damage to enemies. The Four Symbols ( are four mythological creatures in the Chinese constellations They also appear in Korean mythology Note that these are different from Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Satsujin Ken, for they are more special and are a lot stronger. The attacks are:

Suzaku (朱雀): A technique that embodies the legendary red phoenix. Its speed is incredible, as is the power of its flames, and like the legend of the phoenix, can revive itself from its own destruction. When Kyo temporarily returned to his true body while fighting Oda Nobunaga (who was on Nozumo's body), he was able to summon Suzaku in its true form; its features were more elaborate and defined, and the destructive power of its flames was also increased, so much that it overwhelmed not only Nobunaga's Tenma Shiryou Ranma technique, but also the regenerative abilities provided by Nozumo's body.

Finishing Quote: You felt it too didn't you? The Suzaku's breath

Byakko (白虎): A white tiger that tears an opponent apart with its claws. A superior technique to Suzaku; as a result, the difficulty of execution and the subsequent stress on Kyo are also greater. If the first "claw" misses, the opponent is dragged in by its other "claw" and ripped apart by its "fangs".

Finishing Quote: Can you feel the claw of the white tiger?

Genbu (玄武): A black tortoise entwined with serpents; is both an offensive and defensive technique. Genbu's shell protects Kyo from an opponent's attack, while the serpents bind and destroy the opponent. It is capable of blocking any attack, barring the Kouryu.

Finishing Quote: You've been captured by the hand of Genbu

Seiryu (青龙): More than a dozen Mizuchi are projected toward an opponent and surround him, eventually merging to create an immobilizing and destructive whirlwind that pulls the opponent into the heavens where the waiting Kyo (in the form of the legendary blue dragon) descends to deliver the final blow.

Finishing Quote: Can you feel the anger of Dragon King?

Shishin Douji Hatsudou (Four Gods Simultaneous Attack): As the name implies, the Four Gods are summoned simultaneously to attack the enemy. Although powerful in its own right, its merely a precursor to something even greater. . .
Kouryu/ (终极奥义:黄龙): When all of the Four Gods are summoned to attack the opponent simultaneously, this action brings forth the final and most powerful beast god. While Kyo was in Kyoshiro's body, it often took the form a huge, golden, focused blast of wind of seemingly limitless destructive power, descending from the heavens to strike at the enemy. When Kyo returned to his original and more powerful body, he was able to summon the golden wind in its true form, the heavenly dragon Kouryu. Finally, when Kyo evolved into the True Crimson King, his increased power gave him the ability to summon three Kouryu simultaneously, much like the Former Crimson King. In addition, the initial summoning of the Four Gods allows the wielder to use their abilities in conjunction with Kouryu for greater results.

Finishing Quote: None

Speed and special skills

Kyo's speed is also unmatchable. In the early volumes, he was shown to be fast enough to easily cut musket balls in mid-air and kill the gunmen in a second. Although he is a samurai (which usually forbids attacking from behind because it is dishonorable), he has no trouble using his speed to appear behind his opponent and attack. In later volumes, warriors who could move past bullet timing couldn't even touch Kyo.

It is unclear how Kyo, and the other swordsmen like him, in the series are able to sense others. However, it has said that something was mentioned in the manga about a sense of awareness technique called "Maai" is（which is the space between oneself and the opponent according to Japanese Martial arts). Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for Combat. What it translates to in English remains unknown, but this technique forms a field that the samurai generates him/her-self through the use of their chi. If anyone enters it, they will know when and from where they come from. It can be said that in some ways, its almost like they're standing in a pool of water, or a spider's web. The moment when someone steps in, or on, it; they're alerted due to the vibrations. Only other master warrior samurai and newborn children, can enter it without being noticed.

Tenro(天狼)

Kyo's weapon is a Muramasa called Tenro, which translates to "Sky Wolf". Demon Eyes Kyo (鬼眼の狂 Onime-no-Kyō is the main character in the Manga Samurai Deeper Kyo Tenro is one of the Four Great Demon Blades (妖刀. 村正) that the swordsmith Muramasa forged. Its curve and cut are things of beauty. It is approximately five shaku (equivalent to five feet) long and it cannot be broken, cracked, bent, or dulled. It has no problem cutting through steel weapons or solid iron. Basically, it is an indestructible nodachi that only Kyo can wield. A is a large two-handed Japanese sword. Nodachi approximately translates to "field sword" It seems to have a mind of its own, and chooses the one who wields it. Apparently, it chose Kyo and seems to enjoy working with him. The only other who has been seen to wield Tenro is Muramasa, Kyo's master. Inside Tenrou is the spirit of the First Aka no Ou (初代红王), Kyo's direct ancestor.

Fictional biography

Kyo (Seiyu: Konishi Katsuyuki) is the last real Mibu of the Mibu clan, and the last child born to it. ( April 21, 1973 -) is a male Seiyū from Wakayama, Wakayama Prefecture. There are no other real Mibu left. Before the Crimson King/Aka no Ou turned evil, He told Kyo that if he (crimson King) ever turned evil and lost the respect for life, Kyo would kill him. After overhearing the Crimson King saying that all the other Mibu are constructs and will let them all die from the death disease, even the 4 Elders, Kyo knew the Crimson King had finally turned evil. However it was still questioned why he has different shin red eye compared with real Mibu's red eyes (they have full red eyes).

Beginning

Kyo defied his orders and killed Oda Nobunaga, the one who should have been the next ruler of Japan. This article lists major characters from the Anime and Manga Samurai Deeper Kyo Main characters Demon Eyes Kyo See For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Japan topics. A man named Muramasa was sent to capture Kyo. He succeeded, but decided to teach Kyo rather than kill him. He wanted Kyo to destroy the Mibu, who, under the rule of the Sendai Aka no Ou, had become corrupted.

Another reason for Kyo's departure is given in chapter 305 - The former Aka no Ou, when he was still kind and benevolent, predicted that one day he would become evil and that he and Kyo would have a fight to the death. He promised Kyo to kill him if he ever harmed the Mibu clan, but told him he would have to leave.

Together, with one of Muramasa's personal soldiers, Anri, they escaped from the Mibu. This article lists major characters from the Anime and Manga Samurai Deeper Kyo Main characters Demon Eyes Kyo See Kyo swore he would destroy the Mibu. Muramasa trained Kyo until he learned part of the Mumyo Jinpu, the strongest swordstyle of the Mibu. Chinmei tracked them down and killed Mayumi, then escaped. This article lists major characters from the Anime and Manga Samurai Deeper Kyo Main characters Demon Eyes Kyo See Kyo left Muramasa and went on his own to train. He later met the four Emperors. They slew all that stood in their way. One day Kyo left them and the four Emperors broke apart.

He first met Kyoshiro and Sakuya under a tree. This article lists major characters from the Anime and Manga Samurai Deeper Kyo Main characters Demon Eyes Kyo See The Mibu had been spreading the rumor that Kyo was a bloodthirsty demon who killed for fun. Kyo and Kyoshiro fought. When Kyoshiro did not avoid an attack he should have been able to avoid easily, Kyoshiro told Kyo that he would have hit the tree and damaged it if he had avoided the attack. Kyo decided to spare him and traveled with Kyoshiro and Sakuya.

Some time later, Sakuya told Kyo that her heart was linked with that of the Aka no Ou's. If the Crimson King died, so would Sakuya, and possibly the other way around. Kyo still said that he would attempt to kill the Crimson King, and Sakuya begged Kyo to kill her on the spot. Kyoshiro stopped him by defeating him in battle and sealing away his spirit.

Four years later

Four years later, Kyo once again awakens by killing some bandits who were threatening Kyoshiro's life. Kyoshiro had given up killing and would not attack and allowed himself to be killed. Kyo stepped in and slaughtered the bandits to save his own life. After killing the bandits, he set his eyes on Yuya, but was amused by her quest to kill a man with a scar on his back(Kyoshiro), and thus let her travel with him as a "servant".

Next he met Benitora. Impressed by Benitora's cruel way of killing Gemma, he allowed Benitora to be his "#2 servant". After meeting Benitora, they travel to a teahouse where they meet "Genjiro", a person who easily broke Kyo's maai. When they reach Edo, "Genjiro" is revealed to be Sanada Yukimura. Yukimura asked Kyo to kill Tokugawa Ieyasu in exchange for the location of his body. Kyo accepted, but managed only to kill a fake while the real one escaped. Yukimura gave Kyo another chance, by challenging Kyo to a fight. Kyo defeated Yukimura, and the location of Kyo's body was revealed to be in Aokigahara.

Aokigahara arc

Kyo traveled into Aokigahara (accompanied by his friends), where he defeated the Twelve God Shoguns and the "Master," who turned out to be Oda Nobunaga. During this search for his body, Mibu Kyoshiro resurfaces for brief periods of time while Kyo fights Kubira (who turns out to be a fake) and Nobunaga, and it is learned that he is actually a swordsman superior even to Kyo, with connections to a mysterious clan known as the Mibu. Also during this time, Shiina Yuya notices that when angered, a cross-shaped scar appears on Kyo's back; the same scar she saw on the back of her brother's killer. Kyo picks up two recruits-the first is Akira, one of the Four Emperors (Kyo's old friends). Akira was posing as Ajira, one of the Twelve God Shoguns, in order to retrieve Kyo's body. However, he realizes that the body is laced by an extremely powerful kinju (a magical seal) placed by Mibu Kyoshiro. He decides to help Kyo reclaim his body. The second is Sasuke, one of the Sanada Ten and one of Yukimura's most trusted men. He is only a boy, but he wields a muramasa very expertly.

Kyo reunited with Bontenmaru after Benitora finds him peeking in a hot spring. He tells Kyo that a man named Muramasa wishes to meet him. Muramasa turns out to be Kyo's master in Mumyo Jinpu Ryu, and he is dying of a mysterious and deadly disease. He also seems to be connected with the Mibu, as there are assassins all around the house. Muramasa wishes to teach Kyo the final four techniques of the Mumyo Jinpu Ryu, but they are interrupted by Shinrei, one of the Mibu Five Stars. He is able to gain the upper hand over Kyo, but Muramasa intervenes and injures Shinrei. His illness catches up to him, however, and Muramasa falls to the ground. Shinrei decides to kill Kyo; however, he notices the cross-shaped scar on Kyo's back, which he refers to in shocked horror as the Crimson Cross, claiming it as sacred. He then agrees to leave, but not before placing waterwyrms in Yuya's body, which would kill her in 60 days. In order to stop this, Kyo would have to seek out the Mibu clan.

Kyo vows to destroy the Mibu clan completely. Muramasa, using the last of his strength, succeeds in teaching Kyo the final secrets of the Mumyo Jinpu Ryu. Right as he completes his training, Bontenmaru meets another one of the Mibu Five Stars-Keikoku, who is revealed to be Hotaru, the third of the Four Emperors. Kyo stops the two from killing each other. Using the Mumyo Jinpu Ryu Suzaku, he cuts off Hotaru's left arm. It is then that yet another Mibu Five Star, Chinmei, arrives and stops the battle, telling Kyo to seek them out.

Mibu arc

Once reunited, Kyo and co. (minus Benitora, Yukimura and Sasuke) set out to destroy the Mibu once and for all before it is too late for Yuya. On their way there, they meet up with Akira, who agrees to help them. They travel to the Hell Gates, where Five Stars Saishi and Saisei await. They distract Kyo and co. with zombies and capture Yuya. Saisei performs "spirit surgery" on her and stimulates the waterwyrms, cutting down her remaining time from 15 days to just 12 hours. Kyo then destroys the Gates of Hell, though that should have been impossible. They enter into the Mibu Holy Land. Kitsunebi, an overlord, challenges Kyo but is defeated miserably. With time running out, Kyo and co. run through the Mibu land, killing all who stand in their way, until they reach the Five Gates, guarded by the Five Stars. Bontenmaru and Akira fall into a trap in the ground, and Kyo and Yuya are forced to continue alone.

Hotaru

Kyo first battles Hotaru. Hotaru appears to have the upper hand, but then Kyo becomes enraged and begins to force Hotaru back. Finally, Kyo uses the Suzaku to defeat him. Hotaru is still alive, though he is badly wounded. Now that he is beaten, Hotaru seems to lose his hostility, and tells Kyo and the others (Bontenmaru and Akira finally caught up) to continue and to not worry about him.

Seisai and Saishi

Kyo and co. reach the second gate-or gates. As they reach the gates, they are greeted by Yukimura, who appears to have defected to the Mibu.

Akira defeats the two, though he is badly injured by their attacks.

Chinmei

Continuing, Kyo and co. reach the third gate, and they are greeted by Benitora, Mahiro, and Sasuke as they also reached it. The third guardian is none other than Chinmei. It is learned here that it was not Kyo who killed Mahiro's sister Mayumi, but Chinmei. Kyo charges toward Chinmei, but Chinmei uses the Chuyuugi to create a gravity well around him, forcing him into submission. Mahiro manages to distract Chinmei long enough for Kyo to escape and defeat Chinmei using the Suzaku.

Taihaku

They arrive at the fourth gate and confront the powerful Taihaku. But before they face Taihaku, the Demon Child Band stands in the way, protecting the gate. Benitora manages to defeat both the Demon Child Band and Taihaku, but not kill them. Right as Taihaku agreed to join them, Fubuki kills Taihaku and escapes before anyone could react.

Shinrei

When Kyo finally reaches the fifth gate, Shinrei stands in the way. Kyo and Shinrei fight. Due to Kyo's numerous wounds and his use of Suzaku twice, Kyo is defeated. Before Shinrei could kill Kyo, Hotaru arrives to fight in Kyo's place. At first, it seemed Hotaru had the upper hand, but he is quickly overpowered by Shinrei, who appears to kill him. Seeing his allies cut down, Kyo uses the second of the Mumyojinpu secrets, Byakko, to defeat Shinrei. As Kyo delivers the final blow, Hotaru, who was alive all along, blocks the attack. He does not want Shinrei to die since Shinrei is Hotaru's half-brother. Shinrei stops the waterwyrm in Yuya and departs.

As they are about the set out again, the Fourth Emperor, Akari appears. she, using her shaman powers, heals everyone and joins the group. As they head towards the Crimson King's castle, they encounter a wounded Okuni, who tells them that the Mibu now are in possession of Kyo's true body.

After Bontenmaru won, Yukimura fights and defeats Shindara before he encounters Kyo. Kyo and Yukimura had a fierce fight where both of them use their best technique and resulted in a draw. After the fight everyone rejoins (Yuuya and CO. ), and Kyo tells Yukimura that he isnt interested in becoming the next Crimson King, but only came to defeat the Previous Crimson King. Everyone had a break before encountering the Taishiro's.
