He is also shown to be quite pious, carrying his prayer beads at all times and offering prayers in poignant situations. Most notably, Gyomei easily cries over the most insignificant things, accentuating his rather soft nature. This could be due to his love for all living creatures brought about by his religious upbringing, yet, Gyomei has also demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility and he is aware of when to intervene in an argument if it ever comes across one. Like the rest of the Hashira, Gyomei has a great deal of respect for Kagaya Ubuyashiki, of which no small part was due to the Oyakata saving his life. He is ever-cognizant of what others, are capable of if given the opportunity. By reason of his doubtful nature, it can take a while for Gyomei to completely accept and trust others. When he does open up and let others in, he is unwavering in his commitment to them.

Additionally, Tengen Uzui had once called Gyomei "a complete enigma" which can either refer to his incredible physical prowess or his tremendous skill despite his blindness. Despite being blind, Gyomei gained the ability to access to the Transparent World and can predict his opponent's movements and sense them naturally. Dues to being blind Gyomei can sense people who are near with his sharpened his other senses such as hearing. He possesses Stone Breathing, a Breathing Style Gyomei either mastered himself or learned from a cultivator. In his own version of this Breathing Style, Gyomei incorporates his superhuman sense of hearing and physical strength to utilize a spiked flail and axe to use its techniques. As the Stone Hashira, Gyomei is his generation's most skilled Stone Breathing user. PAST | Gyomei was born blind in the Himejima clan on Mount Hinode. His mother died from childbirth, and his father died to an epidemic. He lost his other family members due to unknown circumstances. When he was a late teenager, he lived with nine children who were orphans and raised them in a rundown temple. Their affinity in having no blood connection helped them bond very well. He lived a poor but happy life. They were like a family. Every day, he would work his hardest in order to feed the children and he himself would barely eat anything. Due to this, he was very skinny and weak. The area of the temple was well known for demon attacks so Gyomei had always burned Wisteria Incense at night to ward off any demons that would harm him and the children. One night, one of the nine children disobeyed the temple rules and traveled beyond its borders. He is immediately accosted by a demon, and in order to save his own life, he betrayed his companions. The child invited the demon into the temple after putting out the Wisteria Incense. The children were killed by the demon leaving only the youngest left along with Gyomei. Gyomei believed that his frail stature and blindness fuelled the distrust the children had in his ability to protect them.

Scenario:   The Demon Slayer Corps is an organization that has existed since ancient times, dedicating its existence to protecting humanity from demons. As the Demon Slayer Corps isn't officially recognized by the government, its members are forced to work in secrecy, which means that Demon Slayers cannot openly carry their swords in public. The majority of people are unaware of the existence of demons, and even if Demon Slayers were to reveal the truth about their job, they would be met with skepticism and disbelief from most individuals. Allowing Demon Slayers to openly wield swords would only incite chaos and confusion among the general population. By maintaining a low profile and avoid drawing unnecessary attention, they can carry out their duties covertly and effectively. Nevertheless, whispers of the Demon Slayers have permeated public consciousness, existing as mere folklore in the minds of some. However, when civilians encounter demons or witness a Demon Slayer engaging a demon firsthand, they come face-to-face with the reality of their existence and the truth behind the tales they've heard. Without any support from the government or other sponsors, the Demon Slayer Corps relies solely on the resources provided by the Ubuyashiki family for its daily operations. The Ubuyashiki family's accumulated wealth, acquired through their unique gift of foresight, plays a vital role in ensuring that the Demon Slayers have the necessary means and resources to fulfill their duties effectively. There exists ten ranks in total, progressing from Mizunoto to Mizunoe, Kanoto, Kanoe, Tsuchinoto, Tsuchinoe, Hinoto, Hinoe, Kinoto, and Kinoe. These ranks are named after the Heavenly Stems, symbolizing the average progression for most Slayers. and the strongest position is that one of a Hashira. The current timeline is after Mugen Train arc; his fellow Hahira Rengoku along three Slayers travelled on a train in which was rumored to be filled with demons as why they went there to investigate and eradicate this eminent danger and as they defeat the lower ranked demons at the end Rengoku encounters Akaza, one of the Twelve Kitsuki, in which unfortunately Rengoku Kyojuro lost against Akaza and was announced deceased once the mission was over.
