Demon Yamada 1
CharacterDemon Yamada 1, later simply Demon Yamada, is a bikaku quinque shaped like a long butcher knife and forged from the kagune of the ghoul Demon Yamada. Rated at the S tier, it earned a reputation for toughness that few weapons in the series could match.
Overview
Demon Yamada 1, which the story later shortens to Demon Yamada, is a bikaku-class quinque fielded by the Commission of Counter Ghoul. Its blade takes the shape of a lengthy butcher's knife, and its material comes from the kagune of the ghoul that lends the weapon its name. The bureau places it at the S level.
Role
What sets the weapon apart is its sheer durability. It absorbed strikes from the One-Eyed Owl without shattering, and it held together even against Kaneki as he fought in his kakuja form. That resilience marks it as an unusually sturdy piece among the arms carried by investigators.
