Kokushibo (Demon Slayer) - Lua Superior 1

The song 'Kokushibo (Demon Slayer) - Lua Superior 1' by Okabe delves into the complex and tragic story of Kokushibo, a character from the popular anime and manga series 'Demon Slayer.' The lyrics explore themes of envy, power, and the consequences of one's choices, all set against the backdrop of a supernatural world where demons and demon slayers clash.

From the beginning, Kokushibo's life is marked by a sense of separation and inferiority. He is born with a brother who is chosen and revered, while he feels rejected and weak. This initial feeling of inadequacy fuels a deep-seated envy that only grows over time. Kokushibo's desire to surpass his brother leads him to make drastic decisions, including abandoning his family and seeking greater power through the 'respiração do Sol' (Sun Breathing). However, he only manages to master the 'respiração lunar' (Moon Breathing), which symbolizes his perpetual state of being second-best.

The turning point in Kokushibo's life comes when he is attacked by demons and saved by his brother. This act of salvation reignites his envy and desperation, leading him to accept a proposal from Muzan, the king of demons, to become a demon himself. This decision marks his complete transformation, both physically and morally, as he abandons his humanity and former beliefs in exchange for power and immortality. Despite achieving the status of 'Lua Superior 1' (Upper Moon 1), Kokushibo's journey is one of internal conflict and regret. He realizes too late that his pursuit of power was never truly what he desired; he only wanted to be like his brother.

The song also touches on the broader conflict within the demon hierarchy and their ongoing battle with the Hashiras, the elite demon slayers. Kokushibo's interactions with other demons, such as Akaza and Douma, highlight the internal strife and the futility of their existence. In the end, Kokushibo's story is a poignant reminder that envy and the pursuit of power can lead to one's downfall, and that true fulfillment often lies in acceptance and self-realization.
