Demon Slayer: Every Hashira, Ranked According to Strength

The Hashira are the strongest Demon Slayers out there. Here's how they all rank.

The Hashira are the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. They are it's strongest warriors, who aim to eradicate all the demons in order to protect humanity. This group is under the direct control of Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and he only allows the strongest of Demon Slayer's to enlist in its ranks.These pillars are constantly searching for a successor, to one day pass on their techniques to. This is maintained throughout history so that the Demon Slayer Corps continues to gain strong fighters throughout the passage of time. To become a Hashira, a Demon Slayer must defeat one of the Twelve Demon Moons or defeat 5o demons, while undergoing intense training (which often takes up to 5 years for a normal person).

9. MITSURI KANROJI

Mitsuri is is the current 'Pillar of Love' in the Demon Slayer world. With her interesting breathing technique, she has defeated many enemies in her time as a demon slayer. Mitsuri is a very soft and passionate person, regularly thinking positive thoughts about those around her. Despite her title of love, Mitsuri does not hesitate in the presence of a demon. Instead, she flips a switch and becomes even more deadly. She's desperately on the hunt for a husband but has so far failed. She's a special combatant with skin denser than your average human and when she uses her Demon Slayer Mark, her power increases exponentially.

8. SHINOBU KOCHO

An oddball, even amongst this emotionally unstable force of Demon Slayers. Shinobu was the former Insect Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps and sister to the fallen, Kanae Kucho. Shinobu wasn't like many other Demon Slayers, her lack of physical strength meant that she couldn't sever the heads of demons in order to defeat them. To compensate for this, she developed a fighting style that relied on piercing and thrusting. She uses this to inject different types of poisons into her enemies, with them often dying in confusuion. She also held an incredible amount of medical knowledge in her head which was of great use to the corp.

7. MUICHIRO TOKITO

Muichiro Tokito is the former Mist Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. He has been of considerable use to the Demon Slayer Corps and relies strictly on logic to resolve his missions. He strongly believes that emotions should not play a part in the process of Demon Slaying. Despite his logical ways, Muichiro can sometimes be seen to act in an illogical manner, often wondering off on his own or getting lost in his own mind. Despite these quirks, he's effective as soon as it comes to defeating demons. Muichiro was strong enough to easily defeat an upper moon after awakening his Demon Slayer Mark

6. OBANAI IGURO

Obanai is a strict man, who adheres closely to the rules of the Demon Slayer Corps and serves as it's current Snake Pillar. He's known to openly chastise and criticize those who do not follow the rules of the Demon Slayer Corps. He also encourages his comrades to throw away their lives for the Demon Slayer Corps, believing it is their duty and he doesn't hold back his words, even to his fellow Hashira. Despite his cruel ways, Obanai has shown to be caring towards Mitsuri and Kagaya. Obanai's snake breathing style allows him to adopt much of the slithery techniques of a snake, making him a dangerous combatant.

5. TENGEN UZUI

Tengen is a former Sound Pillar, having retired from official duty after suffering heavy injury in a battle against a member of the Upper Demon ranks. Tengen is an overly flamboyant character, who is almost always up to something interesting. His rank as a former Pillar speaks for his strength, but his leadership skills were also a great asset to him during his years of active service. Though he's currently retired and married to a couple of different women, he still works hard to assist the Demon Slayers in their missions. His sound breathing techniques make him a deadly foe for the strongest of demons.

4. KYOJURO RENGOKU

Kyojuro was the most recent Flame Pillar. Before dying in battle, he was known to be one of the Hashira's with insane potential. Kyojuro was raised well by his parents and they taught him that the strong should always try to protect the weak. He was known to cheerfully go about his duties as a Pillar and was always willing and able to lend a helping hand during times of need.  This sometimes led to his most eccentric trails leaking out, but his strength and dedication meant nobody really paid mind to his odd ways. His strength rested in the fact that he extensivly practised his breathing technique, polishing it into a deadly weapon.

3. SANEMI SHINAZUGAWA

Sanemi is the older brother of Genya Shinazugawa and the current Wind Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. He's known for being obtuse, quick to anger and somewhat hard to please. Due to trauma concerning demons, he is incredibly distrusting towards them. Having lost much of his family to demons, he's developed a strong hatred for them and refuses to accept the notion that he two factions could eventually come to live in peace. Sanemi has a rare type of blood that is extremely alluring, even to the strongest of demons and he often uses this to lure them in before quickly executing them. The combination of his wind breathing and Demon Slayer Mark has led to him becoming one of the most promising Demon Slayers around.

2. GIYU TOMIOKA

Giyu is a disciple of Sakonji Urokodaki, having learned the water breathing techniques from the master swordsman. Using these abilities, he displayed his strength and was eventually given the position of Water Pillar. Giyu has gone a long way in mastering these techniques and, oftentimes, he completely overwhelms the demons he faces. Giyu can often be reserved due to him struggling to express himself, but he has a kind and sincere heart. His Demon Slayer Mark greatly increases his fighting strength and, in time, he might become one of histories strongest Demon Slayers.

1. GYOMEI HIMEJIMA

At a glance, Gyomei Himejima might not seem like all that powerful a fighter. The fact that he carries the unimpressive title of being the Stone Hashira means that most people won't really take him all that seriously either.

However, these people are bound to be surprised when they find out that Gyomei is actually the strongest Hashira in the entire group. Suffice to say, his destructive power will be an absolute treat to witness in the series.
