Demon Slayer: The most powerful pillars!

The Hashira, a.k.a. the pillars of Demon Slayer Corp, receive a lot of respect and admiration from the people in the story of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba , and for good reason: few humans stand a chance against strength, cruelty, or murderous tendencies. Muzan Kibutsuji and his Twelve Demonic Moons strive to remain a constant threat to humanity, but Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the Pillars are the first line of defense.

9/ The insect pillar: Shinobu Kocho

Shinobu Kocho was instrumental in the Demon Slayer Corp operation, and her contribution goes beyond the battlefield. Her insect breathing techniques and custom Nichirin blade complement her fast-paced fighting style, but it is Shinobu's knowledge of chemistry that makes her both a major threat to demons and a help to humanity.

Shinobu's ultimate goal was not simply to eradicate all demons, but rather desired peace between the species.

8/ The Sound Pillar : Tengen Uzui

Tengen Uzui was born into one of the last surviving Shinobi families. The skills acquired through his upbringing have made Tengen an effective fighter in all areas, even when poisoned and lacking a hand.

Everything about the guy expresses his favorite word: flamboyance, from the nunchuck-style handling of his Nichirin blades to his jeweled clothing. Tengen's sonic breathing allows him to mentally record his battles like a musical score and act accordingly.

7/ The Pillar of the Flame: Kyojuro Rengoku

Being in a family line of Flame Breathing swordsmen, Kyojuro Rengoku had a deep sense of pride for his work. A great motivation for his passion was the promise Kyojuro made to his mother to use his exceptional strength to protect others.

Not only was he a top swordsman, but Kyojuro had one of the strongest personalities in the Kagaya Ubuyashiki pillar group and was an inspiration to other demon slayers, including those of higher ranks.

6/ The ancient water pillar: Sakonji Urokodaki

The name of "swordsman cultivator" Sakonji Urokodaki carries weight within the Demon Slayer community; reaching the position of Hashira and surviving to old age is a recognizable feat for anyone in the Corp.

Sakonji is said to wear his tengu mask because of the demons who tease him about his kind face. He also has a keen sense of smell - two traits he shares with Tanjiro Kamado.

5/ The Pillar of the Serpent : Obanai Iguro

Directionally nuanced attacks may be the method of Obanai's snake breathing techniques, but his attitude is strict and direct, even if it means someone has to suffer - except Kagaya Ubuyashiki of course.

Obanai is also extremely sharp with his words towards others, but he makes it clear when someone has his favor. He doesn't hide his infatuation with Mitsuri the pillar of love, but somehow, mysteriously, she seems totally oblivious.

4/ The pillar of the mist: Muichiro Tokito

Just as he was one of the first Pillars of his generation to activate the Mark of Flame, Muichiro inherited the art of swordplay as a descendant of the first Breath users, and is a master of Mist Breathing at only 14 years old (he joined the Demon Slayer Corp when he was 10).

Muichiro credits Tanjiro with recovering his memory, stating that his father also had red eyes that expressed great kindness.

3/ The wind pillar: Sanemi Shinazugawa

Because of his marechi , or rare blood type, Sanemi Shinazugawa has a lot of experience in fighting demons even before joining the Corp.

His ruthless determination as a demon killer is easy to understand considering the fact that his blood is like a gluten-free liquor for demons, and the fact that in his youth, Sanemi was forced to kill his demon-infected mother, who had just finished devouring his younger siblings.

2/ The water pillar: Giyu Tomioka

Giyu Tomioka is a masterful swordsman, but he hasn't always given himself that credit. The patterned half of the haori he wears is in honor of Sabito, a young swordsman who died saving all the other students in his final selection exam.

With some motivation from his peers, Giyu accepted his position as a Pillar, activated his Flame Mark. Giyu was also the one who asked Sakonji Urokodaki to train Tanjiro and to trust Nezuko's inner strength.

1/ The stone pillar: Gyomei Himejima

Gyomei Himejima is the tallest and unquestionably strongest of the Demon Slayer pillars under the leadership of Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Despite being blind, Gyomei fights using a spiked ball and a hand axe on a chain - all made of the same materials as Nichirin's blades - with great precision.
