Doma, a powerful demon in "Demon Slayer," died due to a lethal amount of poison he absorbed from Shinobu Kocho's body. Shinobu had been steadily infusing her body with wisteria poison over a year, accumulating a massive dose that was fatal to Doma. Although he initially resisted the poison, it eventually started to melt his body to the bone. Despite his regeneration abilities, he was ultimately finished off by Kanao Tsuyuri, who beheaded him while he was weakened from the poison. Hence, Doma's death was a combination of the intense poison and the decisive beheading to ensure he could not recover.
Details of Doma's Death
- Shinobu's poison was so powerful because she had been consuming wisteria flower extract for a long time, making her body highly poisonous to demons.
- Doma could withstand significant amounts of poison initially and even began to recover, but the continuous exposure finally caused his body to melt.
- Kanao Tsuyuri was instructed to behead Doma to prevent his regeneration and ensure his death.
- Doma showed no strong will to survive decapitation, unlike some other demons, which contributed to his final demise.
