[70] Collapse ( 崩 ( ほう ) 落 ( らく ) , Hōraku ?) [68] - Similar to his Ten Thousand Leaves Flashing Willow technique, Akaza leaps into the air and delivers a downward punch that shatters the ground.

Akaza was the only demon of the Twelve Kizuki who refused to eat or kill women, and was given special permission to do so. [72] Akaza's alias contains the Kan'yo-on'yomi reading of the kanji for "gentle, docile" ( 猗 ( あ ) , a ?), "cave" ( 窩 ( か ) , ka ?) and the Go-on'yomi for "position, status" ( 座 ( ざ ) , za ?).

Akaza was also able to simultaneously combat both the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka and Tanjiro Kamado, a Hashira-level Demon Slayer, despite being outnumbered by the two and both of them utilizing their Demon Slayer Marks, dominating the majority of their battle and only losing to them once Tanjiro had accessed the Selfless State and Transparent World. Although Akaza was unable to defeat Kokushibo when he challenged him for his position of Upper Rank One, the latter decided to spare his life due to finding his challenge entertaining, [18] suggesting that Akaza was at least able to give Kokushibo a decent fight despite the power gap between the two.

There was nothing left I wanted to protect. I didn't even want to continue living in a world without my family. For over a hundred years I committed pointless acts of carnage. It's a horribly sad... laughable... and ridiculous story." [78] Akaza also possesses a deep hatred for his past life as a human, believing that it was absolutely worthless, and hated anyone or anything that reminded him of it, such as Tanjiro's own view of how the strong should help the weak and Giyu's unwavering resolve reminding Akaza of Keizo, both instances which he reacted to negatively. As a human, Akaza possessed the same stubborn and resilient personality. However, as a human, his personality was also much more noble and kind, and even somewhat honorable. The only reason he committed crimes was out of sheer desperation, as he needed money to buy medicine for his father. Even after receiving countless beatings that would make a grown man go numb, Akaza's resolve never wavered, further declaring that he would endure those same beatings for a hundred years just for his father to heal, showing how much Akaza valued the well-being of his loved ones more than himself. This was also shown when he nursed Koyuki despite having no connection to her before, never even feeling that it was a burden before and declining her offer of going to see the fireworks instead of tirelessly nursing her.In regards to Koyuki) " I will cure you for sure. Help you. Protect. My life was worthless, filled with nothing but empty promises." [77] Akaza is the only member of the deceased Upper Ranks who encountered the people he knew in life while fading into ash. There are two members of the Twelve Kizuki who have been shown experiencing this, the other being Rui. Before becoming a demon, Akaza's favorite and most proficient move is the Bell Splitter though it is uncertain whether this is still the case after his transformation.
