Which member of the Kizuki is your favorite? ☺

"Muzan might be representing something himself"

*Hee hees menacingly*

Someone else said that kaigaku represents rabies, but there are good arguments for both. Main rabies arguments are the clawish marks on his face, his teeth that are much more pronounced, and that he used to drink dirty water as a human, which is a way animals contract rabies.

Kokushibo's name literally translates to "Eyes of the black death"

[gailasprey]

You could argue that Rui represents chronic pain. He completely falls over on his bad days. But on a good day like when he was trying to get Nezuko to join his family he can do so much more. A little bit of speculation though.

I think as mental disorder, Enmu inspired by Schizophrenia because he has some symptoms of Schizophrenia:

People in the first flare-up of Schizophrenia cannot distinguish between dream and reality, the same can said for Enmu's because according to Mugen Train Taisho Secret, Enmu had a tendecy to not to be distinguish between dream and reality since childhood.

People in the second flare-up of schizophrenia harm themselves or people around them, the same can said for Enmu's because according to Mugen Train Taisho Secret, as an adult, Enmu misused hypnotic therapies to convince terminally ill people that they had recovered their health.

Schizophrenic people have vacant facial expression, the same can be said for Enmu because he has vacant facial expression and it is only clear from his mouth what emotion he is feeling at that moment and he has very dull voice.

Schizophrenic people have socially inappropriate behaviors, it can said for Enmu because he misused hypnotic therapies on terminally ill people.

Schizophrenic people experience rejection anxiety, maybe Enmu did his best to ascend to LM1 after becoming a demon and then was willing to ascend to UM ranks because he wants to accepted.

Ouch٫ modeled after an STI. Honestly٫ I've always had a soft spot for Daki and Gyutaro regarding the sibling thing. My twin died٫ and I'd have given anything to protect her. Syphilis does make sense. Either that٫ or a bone disorder.

I reckon Kyogai is cancer. Yes, I know cancer is big and Kyogai isn’t even a Lower Moon, but get this: he was underestimated and overlooked by the person who dismissed his writing, and then Kyogai killed him. Just like how symptoms of cancer can be dismissed as another illness, and by then it can be too late!

[cyaninkling]

On the mental sickness side, Hantengu could be multiple personality disorder, while Kyōgai could be anxiety or imposter syndrome

[emmajepson]

In hantengus part, when you mentioned the 'Loss of eyebrows', i immediatly thought of Sanemi💀💀

[AnuragKumar-sqqi]

Props for doing all that research and making it entertaining 😁😁😁😁

[HydreigonJ]

Huh, it makes sense. Douma is a disease because nobody likes him and since he has no emotions. Kokushibo is probably the disease to make you try harder at your goals.

[Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]

“Muzan also might be representing something aswell”
Me: “ MICHAEL JACKSON”

[Oriodion]

Amazing theory, nice to look at these characters from an angle derived from something other than simple japanese customs and folklore.

[someone_]

Muzans form in the final battle could represent Teratoma

[emosasukelover]

also with doma and TB as his disease it was also known as a beauty disease cause it made people pale and slim which people back then found beautiful. And he seems to care about his looks/is a very pretty person. Also another name for TB was /consumption/ back in the day, hinting to when he's feasting and has blood all over his mouth.

[prenimystic]

"You are no bounty hunter... you are..."

Muzan: "Death."

[AnimeKage]

I hadn’t heard this theory yet, you made some really good connections, nicely done 👍🏻

[nutshellxxhasquit]

Douma is Elsa.exe
He can be inspired by psychopathy because look at his personality.

[MomoYaoyao]

Me thinking that Muzan would get PTSD before watching, Anyways , nice theory
