Nezuko is one of the few demons that still retain consciousness along with two other demons introduced later on in the series. Instead of eating meat, she restored her stamina by sleeping. Devils can change their body structure at will, healing from wounds quickly. Their weaknesses were sunlight and beheaded by the Demon Slayer’s special blades. In addition, high-level demons such as the Twelve Moon Demons also possessed the unique ability of the Blood demonic magic. Nezuko also has a Blood Magic Technique that is Blistering Blood.
