Consequences of Speaking Muzan’s Name

If a demon were to say Muzan’s name, it would mean certain death. Muzan has placed an ancient curse on those who speak his name aloud, causing them to be destroyed in a violent and horrific manner. For instance, when Susamaru accidentally said Muzan’s name during her battle with Tamayo, she was wiped out in an instant. As such, it is best for all demons to avoid saying Muzan’s name at all costs.

The Transformation of Doma into a Demon

Doma was granted power by Muzan Kibutsuji, which transformed him into a demon. By becoming a demon, Doma gained access to special abilities such as enhanced strength, speed, and durability.
