Demoura Zodd

Demoura Zodd (デモウラ·ゾッド, Demoura Zoddo) is the 18th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army.^[1] He is one of the guards for the underground passageways to Hueco Mundo.^[2]

Appearance[]

Demoura is either an incomplete Arrancar or one that never learned how (or cared how) to seal his power in the form of a Zanpakutō, as Aisslinger Wernarr stated that they had abandoned Human forms for greater power. Demoura maintains features that give him the appearance of an hybrid between a disproportionately large, deformed Human and a Hollow. Demoura has dark skin, with the remains of his Hollow mask covering the top of his face. He also has two strange linear emblems between his red eyes and an enormous and deformed jaw. Demoura tends to walk stooped because of his long arms which brush the ground as if he were an ape. He also has black hair and a dread-locked hairstyle with several ornaments and outstanding earrings at the end of these. He wears a cross shape earring on his left ear. Underneath his mask, he has two lines tattooed down his cheeks. His Arrancar hakama is simple and similar to the ones of most Arrancar.

Personality[]

Demoura's intelligence is to be very limited, confined to showing aggressiveness typical of Hollows.^[3]

Plot[]

Hueco Mundo arc[]

Demoura is the first enemy Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryū Ishida, and Yasutora Sado face upon their arrival to Hueco Mundo. They cross the gorge and appear in a passage guarded by Demoura, and he pursues them to a large room with some stairs, where his companion Aisslinger Wernarr short steps Uryū and revealed that it was a simple but effective ambush.^[4]

Demoura hits the ground with his fist trying to reach Uryū and rebuked Aisslinger's commentary about his lack of intelligence. They later affirm that they abandoned their Human forms in order to increase their own powers. While his companion Aisslinger was engaged in battle with Sado, Demoura puts Uryū in trouble since Demoura's attack focuses on the spiritual energy around his hands, making it impossible for Uryū to use his Spirit Weapon and limiting him to dodging the latter's. However, Uryū and Sado are able to deceive them by exchanging opponents. Sado succeeds Uryū and then tips a tremendous punch, breaking Demoura's mask, and impacts him against the wall by the force of his punch.^[5]

Sado mocks Demoura's appearance without his mask and then renews the attack with another punch^[6], but the Arrancar emerges and does not accept his defeat. He decides to use his most powerful attack by shooting his own tongue as a projectile against Sado, but Sado stops the attack after falling back a few meters and leaves the Arrancar stunned.^[7]

The Human uses his new special attack El Directo and hits Demoura, who falls to the ground defeated while Uryū and his Ginrei Kōjaku end the fight with Aisslinger.^[8][9] Then, the room starts to crumble and they state that it is because if they fall, the walls will fall with them, but Ichigo, Uryū, and Sado were aimed at the stairs of the hall at the time. After the room collapses, Demoura dies along with his companion Aisslinger.^[10]
