Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train
Warning : Contains spoilers for Demon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba .
Summary
There ’s a pot of argumentation over the strength level of the Hashira inDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba , but when taking a look at the serial publication as a whole , it ’s possible to name the strongest Hashira of all . The Hashira stand out as among the firm hero inDemon Slayer , with them being the only ace outside of Tanjiro and his friends capable of fighting the potent demons in the series . Every combat they participate in perfectly illustrates how powerful they are , and none of the recent fights in the serial could be get ahead without their interference .
The Hashira are doubtlessly powerful , and while there ’s never been an official assignment of the strong swordmaster inDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaibamanga , it ’s not unsufferable to make up one’s mind . Some have denotative statements about their power to work out with , and even for the ones who do n’t , their various effort in the story can be used to give an idea of how they equate to one another . With all that in idea , here ’s how the strong Hashira inDemon Slayermeasure up .
The cockamamie Demon Slayer flip universe spinoff " Junior High and High School ! Kimetsu Academy Story " is finally come to Crunchyroll .
10How Do Tanjiro And His Friends Compare to the Hashira?
Tanjiro , Inosuke , and Zenitsu are still relatively fresh faces in the Demon Slayer corporation , but their experience in conflict has propelled them far forrader of where they should be in terms of age alone . It can be a bit difficult to compare them to the current Hashira , as each of the three practice a style of breathing not represented by a Hashira ( Sun , Beast , and Thunder , severally ) .
Inosuke surely has the raw skills to become a Hashira some mean solar day . He reasonably much fabricate Beast Breathing from scratch , so each of its forms is something that Inosuke had to come up with himself . Beast Breathing has proven to be an exceptionally strong technique , one worthy of being passed on to the next generation the way that Mist Breathing or Insect Breathing are . Inosuke bear witness highly worthful in a bit of fight , include against Gyutaro , one of the Upper Ranks .
Zenitsu was trained by the former Thunder Hashira , and is the only presently hold out ( non - demon ) practitioner of the style , meaning that if they were to adjudge a Thunder Hashira again , it would have to be Zenitsu . On the other paw , Zenitsu only learn one technique of Thunder Breathing , the First Form , before his passkey was killed , so he ’s hardly in a view to instruct others how to use the breathing style . Zenitsu did create some technique of his own afterwards on , but that ca n’t really counter the fact that he knows so little about it in the first place .
Tanjiro is arguably the close of the three to being a Hashira in terminus of bare-assed strength;the powerfulness of Sun Breathing is just that potent . Tanjiro ’s ability to use the Hinokami Kagura in combination with Water Breathing technique makes him very versatile in battle , allowing him to defeat ogre far more hefty than he is . Tanjiro played a role in the defeat of Gyutaro , as well as Hantengu , both Upper Ranked daemon . The question for Tanjiro is really what he would be the Hashira of ; after all , there ’s already a Water Hashira , and there ’s never been a Sun Hashira .
It might also be deserving deal how Nezuko stacks up . While Nezuko ’s power set , as a demon , is quite different from that of a Hashira , it ’s clear that she ’s fighting at about that level of mogul from her encounter with Upper Ranked demons . Nezuko ’s ability to help turn Nichirin blades lustrous red with her blood is an incredibly worthful one from a bread and butter perspective , as that can make devil slayers far more effective in battle . Nezuko would never be considered for a stead as a Hashira , but her raw world power in all likelihood puts her ahead of Kocho and mayhap even Uzui .
Tanjiro and his friend are far more sinewy and experienced than newbies like themselves should be , and they ’ve more than proven it through the battle they ’ve already faced . At the very least , by the closing of the Hashira Training , they ’re desirable of being honorary Hashira , putting them up there withDemon Slayer ’s strongest heroes .
9Shinobu Kocho - The Insect Hashira
Debuted in Chapter 28 of the Manga and Episode 15 of the Anime
Shinobu Kocho ’s placement as the weakest Hashira should be one of the most justifiable placements among the Hashira . For freshman , Shinobu herself claim she ’s too weak to decapitate a fiend , so that mechanically works against her . Though she might be physically the weakest among the Hashira , she is still a more than open paladin and is perfectly lethal against the many ogre she faces .
Shinobu ’s Insect Breathing inDemon Slayermakes up for it with powerful poison , but even that does n’t guarantee her a win ; Douma was able to decompose all of Shinobu ’s poison in their conflict , and while he was one of the stronger Kizuki , it ’s entirely potential that all the Upper Rank Kizuki could do that to some extent . With all of that in psyche , it reach the most sense to name Shinobu the imperfect Hashira .
8Tengen Uzui - The Sound Hashira
Debuted in Chapter 44 of the Manga and Episode 21 of the Anime
Tengen Uzui ’s power ranking among the Hashira relies for the most part on his touchable feats in the serial . While Tengen is sure enough secure , as befitting his role , his unmarried fighting in the series had him nearly die against Gyutaro , objectively the weakest of the Upper - Rank Kizuki , and he was still unable to win without assist from Tanjiro and his acquaintance . While he is undeniably physically stronger than some of the other Hashira , his wretched showing suggests physical specialty alone is n’t quite enough to beDemon Slayer’sstrongest Hashira .
None of that makes a positive statement aboutDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba ’s Tengen ’s baron , so from an nonsubjective standpoint , it ’s hard to name him a serious competitor against other Hashira . Still though , with his tenacity and inexorableness , Tengen is a personnel to be guess with even if his engagement in the serial publication do n’t necessarily show it .
7Muichiro Tokito - The Mist Hashira
Muichiro Tokito ’s proper introduction to the series did a great deal to spotlight his power . Tokito was established to be a young prognostic , and he more than rise that with how he single - handedly defeated the Upper Rank 5 Kizuki , Gyokko . This is an impressive achievement considering Tokito is only 14 , making him the youngest Hashira by a decent margin .
However , Gyokko was objectively one of the weaker Kizuki , and since Tokito needed his Demon Slayer Mark to vote out him , that feat ends up being even less impressive . Add in how well Tokito was overpowered by Kokushibo and how he could only provide support , and it ’s easy to see Tokito as falling to the weaker side of the Hashira . Despite this , Tokito has quite a bit of potential , and could eventually surpass the other Hashira if given enough fourth dimension .
6Mitsuri Kanroji - The Love Hashira
Demon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba ’s Mitsuri Kanrojiis another Hashira who in effect launch their enduringness grade in their right introduction . In the “ Swordsmith Village ” electric arc , Mitsuri hold her own against the Upper Rank 4 Kizuki , Hantengu , and while she needed aid to win , it was still nevertheless impressive . render this , it ’s easy to see why Mitsuri would earn a decorous rank among the Hashira .
regrettably , in summation to Hantengu being weak compare to some of the other daimon , Mitsuri was the least in force of the Hashira in the final competitiveness against Muzan , and she was notably the first one forced to will the scrap to recuperate their strength . Despite these caveats though , Mitsuri is still quite solid and is equal to of some unfeignedly impressive feats . All of that serves to put Mitsuri ’s superpower level somewhere in the middle ground of the Hashira .
5Obanai Iguro - The Snake Hashira
Debuted in Chapter 45 of the Manga and Episode 22 of the Anime
Obanai Iguro get the least focal point and fight of all the Hashira in theDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaibafranchise , but it ’s not unacceptable to gauge his power level , regardless . During the final engagement with Muzan , Iguro ’s fighting style allowed him to both evade and land legion attempt , and he was one of the few Demon Slayers capable of seeing the Transparent World and turning his brand red without help .
All of those are very impressive feats for Iguro , but he still mostly played a supportive role in the battle against Muzan , so like Mitsuri Kanroji , it makes the most sense to put Iguro in the middle ground . Still though , Obanai ’s on-key long suit may not have been properly expose inDemon Slayer , so there is a discrete possibility that the Snake Hashira was actually much stronger than fans got to see .
4Giyu Tomioka - The Water Hashira
Debuted in Chapter 1 of the Manga and Episode 1 of the Anime
Giyu Tomioka was the first Hashira bring in to the series and is easy to name among the strongest . In summation to how easily Giyu defeated Rui when Tanjiro struggled against him , Demon Slayer ’s Giyu Tomiokawas able-bodied to put up a dandy fight against Akaza , although he never contend to have the vantage over him . It was still impressive , nonetheless , and even with the injuries he sustained , Giyu managed to contribute a lot in the final battle against Muzan and stop up as one of the few Hashira to survive the battle .
Giyu does n’t make too many appearance early in the manga and gum anime , building up the mystery and temptingness of his forcefulness . When he finally does get his metre to shine , it ’s truly a sight to lay eyes on and more than deserving the wait . All in all , Giyu very clearly stands among the strongest Hashira in the series .
3Kyojuro Rengoku - The Flame Hashira
Kyojuro Rengoku ’s feats are very similar to Giyu Tomioka ’s , but some of import differences justify his higher placement . Both characters struggle against Akaza , but not only was Rengoku designate take fewer hits than Giyu , Rengoku almost defeated Akaza by himself in theDemon Slayer : Mugen Trainmovie , albeit through sunlight , not swordsmanship .
Even more telling is that Rengoku accomplished that without a Demon Slayer Mark whereas Giyu require to apply his just to keep up with Akaza . Rengoku and Giyu can be seen as somewhat adequate in strength , but Rengoku ’s feats against Akaza are more telling than Giyu ’s , so it makes sense to rank him higher among the Hashira . Unfortunately , Rengoku suffered from one ofDemon Slayer’ssaddest deaths , meaning fans never develop to see how he would fair against the likes of scourge like Muzan .
2Sanemi Shinazugawa - The Sound Hashira
Sanemi Shinazugawa is another Hashira whose placement has very explicit justification in the series . In the fight with Upper Rank 1 Kizuki Kokushibo , Sanemi was posit to be one of the two firm Hashira , and going decently along with that , Sanemi was fantastically efficient against both Kokushibo and Muzan , doing a lot of damage in both fights even when other characters faltered .
Sanemi share a vocalisation histrion withJoJo ’s Bizarre Adventure : Stone Ocean ’s Enrico Pucci .
In addition to everything else , Sanemi end up being one of the few Hashira to survive the final competitiveness with Muzan , and that should certainly say a mint about his overall magnate . Still though , as sinewy and impressive as Sanemi is , even he could n’t compete againstDemon Slayer’sstrongest Hashira .
1Gyomei Himejima - The Stone Hashira
Of all the Hashira , Gyomei Himejima ’s placement should be the easiest to justify . Himejima is explicitly posit on multiple occasions to be the most powerful Hashira , and going mighty along with that , he was able to do unbelievable damage to Kokushibo and played a big part in the final engagement against Muzan . Not only that , but Himejima was one of the few characters able-bodied to see the Transparent World , add together even more to his already telling mightiness .
Himejima is also an interesting character with a tragic backstory that makes him so much more than just his military capability . give his taste for crying , it ’s easy to mistake Himejima for someone weaker , but that could n’t be further from the trueness . Taking all of that into explanation , it ’s more than well-to-do to seeDemon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba’sGyomei Himejimaas the strongest Hashira in the series .
