Aoi Kanzaki VS Rui

Aoi Kanzaki (神かん崎ざき アオイ Kanzaki Aoi?) is a Demon Slayer, although she works as a helper at the Butterfly Mansion rather than taking to the front lines. Aoi has deep blue eyes that fade to a lighter blue at the bottom, along with white rectangular pupils, straight black hair with a parted fringe, and twin-tails. She wears two blue butterfly clips to keep her twin-tails in place. Aoi wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform with the addition of a white nurse dress on top of it. Her uniform is tinted slightly blue. She is often seen with a frown. As Aoi trained Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira, she is very tough on them and often pushes them to their limits. She has a firm personality, unlike her colleagues at the Butterfly Mansion. Aoi's personality is somewhat similar to that of the young Shinobu Kocho, volatile and open. She often appears angry, generally displaying how she feels very clearly. However, she does occasionally express more tender emotions such as declaring her enjoyment of the time spent with the trio when they were at the Mansion,[3] looking openly surprised at Tanjiro's reassurance towards her,[4] and bursting into tears when discussing Inosuke's serious injuries.[5] Despite her somewhat gruff demeanor, she is internally kind and caring, doing her best to help the hunters that come to the Mansion.

Rui (累るい Rui?) is the primary antagonist of the Natagumo Mountain Arc of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is also a member of the Twelve Kizuki,[2] having held the position of Lower Rank 5 (下か弦げんの伍ご Kagen no Go?). Rui has the appearance of a young boy. His skin is white, with red dots. His hair is light pink and bears resemblance to spider legs. The sclera of his eyes are red, while his irises are pale blue. Due to holding the position of Lower Rank 5, Rui has the kanji of Lower Rank (下か弦げん Kagen?) and Five (伍ご Go?) engraved into his left eye, signifying his ranking of Lower Rank Five As a human, he possessed normal black hair styled with the same spider-leg like haircut, with bright blue eyes. On general basis, Rui is a quasi-calm individual, rarely raising his voice, and talking with everyone, demon or slayer, with a reasonable tones and vocabulary, though his low and guttural tones constantly imply repressed anger and annoyance. Every time he spoke with Tanjiro during their duel he remained somewhat civil in speech, never once insulting him or calling him a name. Rui was a disturbed individual who desired the close bonds that a family has and expected family members to perform their own roles. To him, "family members" who do not perform their roles as he expects them to (namely to protect Rui unconditionally or follow his instructions) are worthless and as good as dead. Despite the fact he yearns for a "family", his vision of one is incredibly twisted and founded on nothing but fear of him, instilled through repeated abuse on his fellow kin, which he does with unrepentant sadism. Well aware of his power, he is incredibly authoritarian and cruel and has no qualms about mistreating others or punishing his "family" by stringing them up and leaving them to be burned by the sun when they go against his wishes. Because of his strength, he tends to act almighty and confident, although this arrogance, while hardly unfounded, does not blind him to potential threats to his life. Further, he is aware on some level that, despite telling Tanjiro when he saw Rui punishing Spider Sister that he wasn't watching a play, that his whole family is a sham, yelling at Spider Sister that none of his family member were able to fulfill their roles, or fill the void in his heart.
