Gyokko is a rather different demon, as his past life is not like that of other demons that were introduced in the series, which prevents fans from empathizing with him. In fact, Managi never regretted what he did. nor did he feel any such emotion. Instead, he had developed a fascination with death and disfigurement. And this all got worse when he became a demon, as he was not bound by any code, so he could murder women and children without any problem.

Can claim that Gyokko was not humannot even before becoming a demon, as his actions demonstrate a lack of empathy and humanity. But that's not all, as his Blood Art is linked to his past, as well as his design. The fact that he has short arms like those of an infant reflects his obsession with them, like the one he ended up killing.

In fact, as an additional detail, The Demon Slayer fanbook also explains that he loved to devour to children and modify their bodies. For him, this whole disfigurement thing is art.
