Gyutaro
Gyutaro Shabana (a.k.a. Mantis)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Gyutaro is a tall man of fairly muscular build, with a pale gray complexion speckled with black blotches. His anatomy is quite strange in that his upper torso, arms, and legs are all defined with musculature, whereas his waist was incredibly skinny to the point of looking skeletal, with his pelvis jutting out at an unnatural angle. His spine is prominently visible through his back, and he is usually shown being hunched over. Gyutaro possess thin eyes that are slanted drastically downwards at the sides, giving him a permanently haggard gaze. His miotic irises are green with a dark orange center, and his sclera is a bright yellow-orange with visible veins. He has unruly black hair that transitioned to a brighter lime green around the crown of his head, wears messily in uneven bangs and several locks, along a messy tied top head of his hair. His body and limbs has noticeable ink-like markings in the form of black spots on his body and a flowing water-like pattern on his face. His fingernails and toenails are black. He also has a full set of sharp, interlocking teeth.

Flesh Manipulation: Gyutaro possess the ability to manipulate his own flesh to a certain extent. He also displayed the ability to twist his neck backwards.
Immense Regeneration: Gyutaro's regenerative powers are extremely potent. With his immense recovery speed, he can instantly heal the scratches he inflicted upon himself in a matter of seconds.
Poison Generation: Gyutaro possess the ability to generate extremely lethal poison, which he uses to coat his blood sickles. The poison is strong enough that it often killed someone inflicted with it within a few minutes, and those who didn't will be severely weakened and become completely rendered unable to fight.
Immense Durability: Gyutaro possess an incredibly durable body.
Immense Speed & Reflexes: Gyutaro has greatly enhanced speed and reflexes. Gyutaro can also use bursts of speed so fast he appears to teleport. Gyutaro is also fast enough to block a barrage of fast-moving kunai.
Immense Strength: Gyutaro possess incredible physical strength.
Unlimited Stamina & Endurance: Gyutaro possess an infinite amount of stamina and endurance.
Kama Proficiency: Gyutaro displays mastery in dual wielding his kama in combat. He lived for over a century and has refined his skill in close ranged combat. Gyutaro has shown to be apt in utilizing his kama for violence, easily killing a woman and later slicing a samurai's head in two with it when he was enraged. With his abilities, he can even control and move his flesh kama telekinetically, which Gyutaro uses to make them fly back to him like a boomerang. Gyutaro's fighting style is comparable to that of a praying mantis, utilizing fast reaching slashes and returning to his stance continually. Gyutaro's combat style seemes to revolve around aiming to piercing his opponent's neck with the tip of his kama.
Haemokinesis: Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art allows him to manipulate his own body's blood in various ways. He has shown to generate them from his flesh kama, from open wounds on his body, or release blood at will from his veins. It is implied that Gyutaro doesn't run out of blood due to his regenerative abilities, giving him a virtually infinite source of blood to fuel his techniques. In combat, he usually creates barrages of solidified sickle-shaped projectiles as sharp as blades that can travel at immensely fast speeds to attack his opponents. Gyutaro is capable of freely manipulating these blood slashes at will, altering their movements until they hit his opponent or shaping them however he pleased. Furthermore, his blood sickles are coated in poison, making them even more dangerous as the damage they cause is worsened by the effects of the poison.
Flying Blood Sickles (飛び血鎌 Tobi Chigama?): Gyutaro releases multiple sharp and durable sickle-shaped blades of solidified blood by swinging his Kama. He is also able to control these sickles at will.
Rampant Arc Rampage (跋弧跳梁 Bakko Chōryō?): Gyutaro flails around his Kama haphazardly and creates a dome of sickle-shaped blades of solidified blood around him that defend from incoming attacks. The blades spun so rapidly that they denied openings, and expanded outwards when finishing for good measure.
Rotating Circular Slashes: Flying Blood Scythes (円斬旋廻・飛び血鎌 Enzan Senkai - Tobi Chigama?): Gyutaro extends both of his arms, and unleashes circular waves of sharp solidified blood from his arms by rupturing his veins as he aims it directly at his target, although he can also merely rupture the veins on his shoulders to activate it. This technique requires little effort on Gyutaro's part, has massive range, and he is implied to even able to activate it as his head is being cut off.
Blood Sickle Slash (血鎌斬り Chigama Giri?): Gyutaro unleashes two downward slashes followed up with an upward strike right after.
Flying Blood Sickles, Bend (飛び血鎌・曲 Tobi Chigama - Kyoku?): Gyutaro rapidly swings his Kamas to generate enough momentum to perform a cross-slash, launching a large, X-shaped projectile of solidified blood. The projectile moves slowly, and if it fails to hit it's target, it will linger and quickly track and home in on them.
Blood Sickle Onslaught (血鎌乱撃 Chigama Rangeki?): Gyutaro unleashes a wild flurry of blood slashes in a similar fashion as Rampant Arc Rampage before finishing it off with an X-shaped cut.
Rotating Circular Slashes, Flying Blood Scythes, Reap (円斬旋廻・飛び血鎌 斬刈 Enzan Senkai - Tobi Chigama - Zangai?): Gyutaro throws his Kamas towards his opponent and catches it from behind while mid-air, before releasing a series of slashes followed up with an upward strike that launches them skyward. Then he unleashes Rotating Circular Slashes, Flying Blood Scythes into the air, creating two tornadoes of solidified blood slashes flying towards the target and devours them at both directions.
Apparel & Accessories
Gyutaro wears little, only sporting a pair of baggy gray-blue pants and seven pieces of pattern dark red and black cloth to decorate his body, one large one around his neck and three smaller ones around each arm; two pair for each biceps, and two on both his wrists.
Specialized Equipment
Kama: Gyutaro carrys around a pair of Kama that are drenched with his poisonous blood. They serve as his main tools in combat and are extremely durable and sharp, being able to easily cut through flesh and block attacks. They have a fleshy exterior and are blood red in color. Gyutaro briefly displayed the ability to move his Kama telekinetically, making it fly back towards him as if it is a boomerang.
