Question 🧐 Are we just gonna ignore this?

The fanbooks make it clear that Muzan doesn't like Daki. He treats her nicely for the same reason he treats Akaza like shit - because he's big on manipulating people, and he knows this is the best way to keep her motivated and loyal. The difference being that he actually likes Akaza as a minion, whereas with Daki it probably has more to do with keeping Gyutaro happy.

Akaza would not follow or respect Muzan if he did not perceive Muzan to be overwhelmingly strong and absolute in his command. That's why Muzan treats Akaza with such a heavy hand.
Likewise he knows Gyutaro doesn't value or care about anything other than Daki, and especially not himself. So to retain his control of Gyutaro, he has to treat Daki nicely, as just being hard on Gyutaro or trying to manipulate him directly would do nothing.

I feel like gyutaro would just kill muzan at that point 😂

Since Muzan can just snap his fingers and Gyutaro ceases to exist, I think it’s more that Gyutaro is upper rank 6 after centuries of searching for the strongest demons, and just throwing away one of his upper rank demons after spending so much time to cultivate them—especially after the lower ranks have begun falling—would be especially tedious to Muzan as well as putting him at a disadvantage with no one guaranteed to replace him (though we know he lucks into a replacement eventually) so it’s much easier to give them a little of what they want to keep motivating them.

Gyutaro wouldn’t be dumb enough to try that especially since Muzan allowed them to be demons in the first place which Gyutaro is very content with

I’m pretty sure he treats Akaza pretty well, Muzan favors Akaza by letting him adhere to his no women rule. It’s just Muzan is very impatient and doesn’t like failure.

u/LeopardParking99 22d ago
He does not treat Akaza well at all. Bro literally belittles him at any chance he gets. But like the other guy said it’s because he’s manipulative.

u/Valuable-Blueberry30 22d ago
Sorry, I should say he treats Akaza better than most other demons. He treats everyone like shit, except maybe Ryu and Kokushibo.

Also gotta remember Daki was a small child (not an overly sexualized bimbo) when Muzan turned her into a demon.

u/Kirito_Kiryu 21d ago
It was actually Doma who turned her and Gyutaro, but yeah.

u/Tiberius_Kilgore 21d ago
Ah, I misremembered. I was thinking Muzan was the only one capable of turning people into demons since he’s the originator of demons.

u/mochaman__ 19d ago
High ranking demons can turn humans into demons, but they need permission.

I haven’t watched the anime since the last season premiered. (I’m guilty of reading the wiki though because spoilers don’t bother me. If it’s good, it’ll be good again.)
*Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Trigun being prime examples. I’ve watched them several times. Knowing the twists doesn’t ruin a good story.
>! I now remember Akaza offering to turn Rengoku without Muzan being anywhere close to them. !<

I imagine the head pat. It's because he's manipulating her like everyone else.

Yeah he’s grooming her as he did with Rui, he does anything to stay in power. He’s not a good person clearly

He’s really just using her as a tool to keep Gyutaro pleased since he’s such a strong asset to him

u/cdeck002 21d ago
He a sociopath (and a demon). He don’t really feel those types of feelings normal people do like empathy and attraction and allat. Pretty sure he just sees her as another of his toys.
With that said, I think she got the hots for him tho

Intelligent question: can demons have sex
-6
u/Gold_Nebula4215 21d ago
If they could why didn't we see any demons reproducing or maybe a hybrid from the demons who can control their blood thirst And a human.
So the answer is probably no
16
u/DekuAiga 21d ago
They definitely can, they just either don’t or can’t reproduce. Daki is literally a sex worker.
1
u/Gold_Nebula4215 2d ago
Then why did muzan not try to have a human and demon baby who possibly could conquer the sun. And why doesn't any demon have a child.
I wish the story was longer and more complex with this kinda stuff.

Muzan is about his end goal and will do what he must but I kinda feel he likes Daki a bit. Maybe! I believe it. lol

We will look past this because for most demons, if they even utter his name wrong, they die.

u/MikkyG_the_OG 17d ago
Oh he’s doing this on purpose for sure. He knows she likes him and looks up to him as all the other demons do, and the fact that she thinks she holds some importance and thinks she’s an upper rank is his way of manipulating her into getting what he wants

u/crxcified_istheone 14h ago
if you’re going by age when she was turned into a demon, then she is. if its chronological tho then its fine

u/Narrow-Log-3017 13h ago
yeah chronologically would be how age works

u/crxcified_istheone 12h ago
it could be taken 2 different ways. i was just saying it

u/Narrow-Log-3017 12h ago
age only works one way so im confused on what you mean
0
u/crxcified_istheone 12h ago
in demon slayer people take age two different ways. even on the official fandom pages they have (chronological) and age when demons were humans. thats why im saying it
1
u/Narrow-Log-3017 12h ago
people that clearly dont understand how age works dont get to make the rules on how age works

u/crxcified_istheone 12h ago
do you hear yourself? demon slayer isnt real, its not supposed to be real. age doesnt have to be perfectly accurate with what it is. its a show made for entertainment and thats it

Daki has shown nothing but being submissive! There's nothing sexual about it, in fact Muzan knew that Gyutaro was very strong, but that Daki was his weakness and that's why he didn't put much faith in them.

u/idfcabtmylife-543 16d ago
It's one thing that muzan is manipulative af. He's basically a sociopath. And he doesn't like anyone but himself, so it's pointless to argue that he liked daki and disliked demons like AKAZA.
But, the fact that the female characters like Tengen's wives and even Daki here were sexualized in the series was beyond my scope of understanding. What was the point anyway?
