Beautiful yet terrifying... Doma’s famous quotes. Words where madness and benevolence coexist (1–10)
I’m sad. You were my best friend…
The famous line when he notices Upper Rank Three, Akaza, has died: “How sad.
He was my best friend…” He says this through tears for Akaza, whom he often tangled with precisely because their personalities and values were polar opposites.
However, Kanao Tsuyuri later sees through him, realizing that he’s only saying superficial words without truly feeling anything.
Even so, for Doma—cheerful and friendly yet easily swayed by those around him—Akaza, who always gave him some kind of reaction, may have become special to him without Doma even realizing it.
It’s a quote that comes to symbolize Doma’s character as it’s revealed later.
I can’t help but think it over and over: humans are really pitiable, aren’t they?
A famous quote uttered with apparent pity for the human world: “I can’t help but think it—humans are really pitiable, aren’t they?” The idea that good people go to heaven and wrongdoers fall into hell remains deeply ingrained even today.
But Doma dismisses it as nothing more than a delusion held by those whose good deeds go unrewarded.
Indeed, living in Japan—often called a “country lenient to perpetrators”—many might wish that if the law can’t judge someone, at least hell would.
It’s a quintessentially demon-like quote, one that mocks even such wishes and celebrates living outside the law.
Everyone I’ve devoured is like that—they’re saved. It’s no longer painful, no longer hard.
Following “She isn’t dead.
She’ll live on inside me forever,” comes the line, “Everyone I’ve eaten is like that—they’re saved.
They don’t suffer anymore, they don’t feel pain.” It’s a quote he directs at Inosuke Hashibira upon learning of Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho’s death, and it reveals Doma’s warped ideology.
His selfish logic, befitting a demon—claiming that once he’s eaten someone, their worries and pain from life no longer matter and thus they’re ‘saved’—provoked the anger of both Inosuke Hashibira and Kanao Tsuyuri.
It’s a quote that really conveys the madness of Doma’s character, isn’t it?

I didn’t dodge on purpose. It was just a bit of playful teasing.
The famous line “I didn’t dodge on purpose—it was just a bit of playful fun,” continues with “This is how you become friends.” He says it to Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, after Upper Rank Three, Akaza, blows his head off and Kokushibo rebukes him.
It conveys Doma’s strength and his eerily cheerful demeanor that sets him apart from other demons.
His abnormality also comes through in how he keeps talking friendly-like even when no one there is listening, and how he remains unfazed by an attack that would instantly kill a human.
It’s a quote born from a lack of malice or ulterior motives.
I want to make unfortunate people happy and help them. That’s the reason I was born.
A famous quote that shows Doma’s sense of things was different from others even when he was human: “I want to make those poor people happy.
I want to help them.
That’s why I was born.” It also conveys a sense of pity for people who cling to him, worrying about the afterlife even though everything ends when you die.
Even as a demon, Doma retains vivid memories from his human days, and this directly connects to his thinking and actions.
It’s a quote that exudes a quiet, chilling terror beneath his gentle demeanor.
I was really worried about everyone! Because you’re all important comrades.
A famous line directed at Upper Rank Three, Akaza, who was searching for Muzan Kibutsuji and Upper Rank One, Kokushibo: “I was really worried about everyone! Because you’re all precious comrades.” It’s a line delivered when the Upper Rank demons gather in the Infinity Castle after an Upper Rank—unchanged for a hundred years—was finally defeated, and it showcases Doma’s uniquely cheerful tone that sets him apart from the other demons.
Of course, for Doma, who fundamentally lacks emotions, it’s only superficial talk; combined with his title as Upper Rank Two, it makes his strangeness stand out even more.
It’s a very Doma-esque quote—no wonder Akaza finds it infuriating.
It sounds like something tough happened… I’m here to listen—go ahead and tell me about it.
The famous line he delivered to the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho—who, despite it being their first meeting, directed raw anger at him—was: “You must have been through something painful… I’ll listen, go on and tell me.” As the leader of the Eternal Paradise Faith, Doma uttered it in his usual upbeat tone, as if inviting her to share her troubles.
Even after being told that he was the one who killed Shinobu’s sister, he showed no remorse.
It’s a quote that captures Doma’s eerie cruelty—calling killing and eating people a form of salvation—alongside his disconcerting flippancy.
