All 12 Hashiras from Demon Slayers Ranked!

 

When I'm not busy packing the best anime subscription boxes, I love ranking strong guys. Hashiras in Demon Slayer are some of the strongest people you will see in the anime.

 

But who is the strongest among the 12 Hashiras? Let's rank them from weakest to strongest. Stick around to find out who takes the top spot!

 

12. Kanae Kocho

 

Kanae is the older sister of Shinobu Kocho and was the Flower Hashira. Known for her gentle and kind nature, she was also highly skilled. Although she was killed in a fight with the Upper Rank Two Demon, facing such a powerful enemy was a significant feat. Kanae's bravery saved Shinobu from becoming a demon victim.

 

11. Jigoro Kuwajima

 

The Thunder Breathing Hashira and adoptive father to Zenitsu, Jigoro, is one of the oldest characters in Demon Slayer. He trained as a Thunder Hashira for 35 years before an injury ended his career. Known as the Roaring Hashira, Jigoro taught Zenitsu his first form of breathing. Despite his age and injuries, he remains a formidable Demon Slayer.

 

10. Sakonji Urokodaki

 

Sakonji is the former Water Hashira who trains young Demon Slayers, including Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka. His survival in a dangerous profession and ability to train powerful Slayers showcase his strength and wisdom.

 

9. Shinobu Kocho

 

The Insect Hashira, Shinobu, is known for her intelligence and beauty. She creates deadly poisons and fights with a cunning mind rather than brute strength. Her battle with Doma is one of the most memorable in the series, demonstrating her resilience and skill.

 

8. Muichiro Tokito

 

Muichiro, featured in the Hashira Training arc, is a deceptively powerful fighter. In the Swordsmith Village arc, he battles the Upper Rank 5 Demon Gyokko. Muichiro achieved the rank of Demon Slayer after only two months of training and possesses the Demon Slayer mark, enhancing his abilities.

 

7. Mitsuri Kanroji

 

The Love Hashira, Mitsuri, with her pink and green hair, is incredibly strong despite her insecurities about femininity. Her Love Breathing technique allows her to stand against powerful demons like Muzan Kibutsuji. Mitsuri's strength and vibrant personality make her a standout character.

 

6. Obanai Iguro

 

The mysterious Snake Hashira, Obanai Iguro, plays a crucial role in the Final Battle. Despite being partially blind, he has the power to defeat anyone in his path, including formidable demons.

 

5. Tengen Uzui

 

The Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, is known for his physical strength and tactical skills. With three wives and unmatched abilities, Tengen's sound techniques and speed make him one of the strongest characters, especially highlighted in the Entertainment District arc.

 

4. Sanemi Shinazugawa

 

Sanemi, the Wind Hashira, is a fierce and powerful Demon Slayer. His anger and traumatic past fuel his hatred for demons. Hs is one of the strongest assets of the Demon Slayer Corps.

 

3. Giyu Tomioka

 

Giyu, the Water Hashira, is one of the most powerful characters in the series. He was the first to allow Nezuko to live despite her demon status. Giyu's calm demeanor belies his destructive power when he attacks.

 

2. Kyojuro Rengoku

 

Rengoku, the Flame Hashira from the Mugen Train arc, is a powerhouse. He fought valiantly against the Upper Moon Three Demon. His strength and flame-breathing abilities make him one of the strongest Hashiras.

 

1. Gyomei Himejima

 

The strongest Hashira is Gyomei Himejima. With overwhelming strength and exceptional demon-slaying abilities, even the strongest demons fear him. Gyomei's power and presence make him the top Hashira.

The Demon Slayer Hashiras are strong, fearless, and inspiring. While this ranking showcases their strengths, discussions on various Otaku forums may offer different perspectives. Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for our next list!
