If you have watched Demon Slayer, you might know that the Hashira is the Corps’ most powerful Demon Slayer. They are the organization’s most powerful fighters, and they aim to exterminate demons. They are commanded by Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who admits only the strongest to the Corps. The Hashira are constantly looking for a successor to pass on their techniques when they die or retire. This practice is upheld so that the Corps continues to gain stronger fighters throughout time. To become a Hashira, one must battle one of the Twelve Kizuki or fifty demons while undergoing intensive training that would take a normal person five years. Below we have ranked the top 9 Hashira in terms of strength.

Shinobu Kocho – Insect Hashira

Shinobu was an outcast even among the Demon Slayer Corps. She used to be Insect Hashira. Unlike other Demon Slayers, she lacks the physical power to decapitate a demon. To compensate, she developed a furious, piercing combat technique. Shinobu uses injectable substances instead of physical combat. These drugs frequently confuse and, in extreme cases, death. She knows a lot about medical characteristics and the effects of various herbs. She exploits this to her advantage in battle and is an excellent Corps healer.

Muichiro – Mist Hashira

Muichiro Tokito formerly played Mist Hashira. He’s been a huge asset to the Demon Slayer Corps. Muichiro is a stoic who thinks emotions should not be regarded when defeating demons and relies on intellect to complete his missions. Nonetheless, he has often denied such sentiments. Because he goes off on his own and usually gets carried away by his own ideas, he might be viewed as rather airheaded. Muichiro, on the other hand, is an effective demon killer. Muichiro could slay an Upper Moon entirely on his own with his Demon Slayer Mark.

Obanai Iguro – Serpent Hashira

Obanai is the Demon Slayer Corps’ current Serpent Hashira. He takes his job extremely seriously and never deviates from the established laws. He has no qualms about openly condemning and chastising Corps members who break the rules. Obanai is a fanatic willing to die for the Corps and pushes his comrades to do the same. He doesn’t sugarcoat things, and he might sometimes come across as harsh. He does, however, genuinely care about others, particularly Mitsuri. Obanai is a great fighter, and his Serpent Breathing techniques make him lethal. Despite his shorter height and lack of physical power, Obanai has shown himself to be a competent Hashira.

Sakonji – Water Hashira (former)

Sakonji was formerly known as the Water Hashira. Giyu took over as his replacement after he retired and thoroughly trained the current Water Hashira. He also took over as Tanjiro Kamado‘s master. Sakonji is a skilled swordsman with a wealth of experience and wisdom to pass on to the next generation. He serves as a sensei and guide to numerous aspiring demon slayers. Because he and Tanjiro both had keen senses of smell, he helped the latter hoFnezne his. Sakonji also taught Giyu and Tanjiro the Water Breathing Technique. Sakonji, despite his old age, still possesses extraordinary abilities. Sakonji may be beyond his prime, but he can still put up a decent fight.

Tengen Uzui – Sound Hashira

Tengen Uzui was the Sound Hashira until he was forced to retire due to injuries sustained during his fight with Daki and Gyutaro. He is known for his flashiness and eagerness to stand out from the crowd. Before retirement, he was one of the strongest Hashira. Tengen, who comes from a shinobi family, was subjected to harsh training as a youngster, and only a few of his siblings survived. His shinobi experience gives him exceptional demon-slaying agility. Because of his enhanced hearing, his Sound Breathing skills provide him a significant advantage over his opponents. He was also an outstanding leader. Tengen continued to help the Corps even after he retired.

Giyu Tomioka – Reigning Water Hashira

Giyu was trained by Sakonji, who taught him how to perfect the Water Breathing methods. He’s gone a long way in mastering these skills, and he’s proved himself to be a formidable slayer several times. Virtually every demon he faces is completely overwhelmed by his abilities. Giyu’s strength only grows when his Demon Slayer Mark is active. He appears emotionally distant and guarded, although this is only due to his difficulty expressing himself. He is, in fact, a genuine and compassionate individual. Giyu is among the most powerful demon slayers of all time because of his genuine demeanor and incredible physical might.

Gyomei Himejima – Stone Hashira

Gyomei’s name implies he is a patient, stoic guy with unyielding willpower. Kagaya Ubuyashiki recruited Gyomei as the Stone Hashira. Gyomei’s physical powers are unmatched in the series, according to official data. Gyomei is the embodiment of a gentle giant, standing at a terrifying 7’2 and a half. A terrible occurrence in his childhood sparked his fascination with demon-slaying. However, while residing in a temple with other orphans, a demon appeared and murdered most of the children present. Gyomei, on the other hand, survived, and he was furious at losing his companions. Despite his lack of expertise, he went to the demon and discovered his incredible physical power. Gyomei is an unquestionably strong fighter combined with his Demon Slayer Mark and Breathing Techniques.

Kyojuro Rengoku – Flame Hashira

Kyojuro was Hashira, the Flame. Even though he died at the end of his battle with Akaza, Kyojuro showed his strength and unwavering resolve. Kyojuro was raised to think that it is the responsibility of the power to defend the vulnerable. He would constantly approach his daily tasks with joy and confidence for the day ahead. Kyojuro was enthusiastic about whatever he did and was always prepared to provide a helping hand to someone in need. He does, however, possess several odd characteristics. Kyojuro’s strength and determination, however, outweigh his other characteristics. He was a powerful Hashira because he honed his Flame Breathing technique to become one of the series’ most lethal weapons.

Sanemi Shinazugawa – Wind Hashira

Sanemi is the older brother of Wind Hashira and Genya. Despite being a Hashira, he is a hot-headed guy who lives for the excitement of combat. He comes out as fairly difficult to please, and it’s easy to irritate him. Sanemi is wary of demons as a result of painful events with them. He rejects the idea that demons and humans can coexist peacefully. Sanemi is a formidable warrior with a rare blood type that even the most powerful demons find attractive. He often uses this as bait to draw opponents in and quickly kill them. Sanemi’s Wind Breathing abilities are unparalleled, and when combined with his Demon Slayer Mark, he is practically unbeatable. Sanemi may be the most powerful Hashira, but he’s definitely not the strongest character in Demon Slayer.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the nine Hashira are some of the most powerful warriors in the universe of Demon Slayer. Though each holds a unique and daunting strength, Giyu Tomioka’s Water Breathing technique reigns supreme as the most impressive weapon in the series. Not only has it allowed him to fight powerful demons without fear, but his determination to protect and inspire others allows Giyu to rise above all other Hashira as one of Demon Slayer’s best characters.
