Since Tanjiro accessed the See Through World and achieved the Selfless State, he was shown to have effortlessly decapitated Akaza.
Tanjiro decapitates Akaza with the Hinokami Kagura: Setting Sun Transformation. Akaza was bewildered, wondering how Tanjiro did not have any fighting spirit, comparing this feeling to fighting against a plant. He acknowledges that Tanjiro surpassed his speed.
Gyomei can defeat Akaza without even awakening his Demon Slayer mark. Akaza is too inferior in front of Gyomei.
However, against all odds, Tanjiro along with the rest of his crew were able to defeat the Upper Moon 6. This was also the first time he activated his Demon Slayer Mark as well. Fans absolutely loved this fight in the Entertainment District arc.
Muichiro Tokito – Mist Hashira
In direct combat, he easily overpowered our protagonist Tanjiro so his strength is not to be taken lightly. Another testament to his skills is his win over Gyokko, an Upper Rank Five demon, whom he defeated all by himself – too with ease.
Tanjiro's superhuman strength gives him the ability to overpower his enemies and dodge attacks at immense speeds, he is able to maneuver and jump easily over large buildings and distances thanks to his amazing strength.
But if we are talking about the human form, then it's a big fat NO, because Tanjiro has just mastered the Sun Breathing whereas Yoriichi is the inventor of it, also he's way more powerful and holds an unfathomable battle intellect, larger than any Demon Slayer in history, so in conclusion, no one is remotely close to ...
Those who have read the manga know that Tanjiro's powers grow exponentially towards the end of the series. His skill and overall combat abilities could be compared to that of a Hashira's. That being said, there is absolutely no chance for Tanjiro Kamado to be able to beat Kibutsuji Muzan.
Nezuko doesn't stand a chance against the Upper Moon 3
Nezuko is undoubtedly a strong demon in Demon Slayer and she proved her strength repeatedly. One situation that really displayed her true potential was the fight against Daki. She underwent a transformation and thoroughly overwhelmed the Upper Moon 6 demon.
Nezuko's Pyrokinesis aside, her viciously sharp claws slice through flesh like butter, and her powerful kicks can even obliterate an Upper-Moon, so she's far from harmless.
Resulting in Akaza developing an intense hatred for weaklings, as he believed them all to be the most repulsive and underhanded creatures who do nothing but drag down the strong using such unscrupulous methods.
Akaza clearly hates his fellow Demon comrades, especially Doma. And this hate isn't random, as there's a deep psychological reason behind it. The hype around the first episode of Demon Slayer season 3, the Swordsmith Village Arc, was real, and fans were not disappointed.
1. Gyomei Himejima. Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, is the strongest Hashira in the Demon Slayer corps in terms of strength and swordsmanship. He is the only person who uses spiked flails and an axe instead of standard swords to kill demons.
Mitsuri Kanroji is another Hashira who Tanjiro could definitely beat in Demon Slayer. Mitsuri's main trick up her sleeve is her muscle composition, which makes her muscles eight times denser than that of a normal human's.
13th form Tanjiro simply blitzes Akaza. In that form, he's relative to WH Muzan in speed who is faster than all the UMs.
At the end of the day, none of the Hashira could've defeated Akaza – even though a few of them could've succeeded in decapitating him. Akaza proved himself to be too strong to be dragged into sunlight, meaning there'd be no way for any of the Hashira to kill him.
Demon Slayer's season 3's latest episode has left fans on edge with Tanjiro's discovery of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's Type Zero sword.
The Wind Hashira is one of the strongest Hashiras in the Demon Slayer series. He played a significant role in defeating Kokushibo and was able to inflict damage on Muzan. Sanemi's sheer power and speed will be able to overwhelm Nezuko even in her final form.
Tanjiro's Current Demon Slayer Rank Is Kanoe
Murata, the Demon Slayer, who was almost digested on Mount Nagumo, is also a Kanoe.
It is revealed that Muzan's true fear of dying and immense desire to live and survive was due to him being born "dead," where his heart would constantly stop in his mother's womb and was assumed stillborn until he fought to breathe before his cremation.
It's clear from their first encounter with one another that Giyu has more advanced combat skills than Tanjiro. Yes, Tanjiro and Nezuko do manage to surprise him during that initial confrontation — but had he chosen to pursue his attack against Nezuko, Giyu likely still would have defeated both of them.
No they would not the fight happened, in the manga and the Hashira needed “extensive” outside help to beat Muzan Rengoku Muichiro and Tengen weren't there because two are dead, and one retired but the 9 Hashira by themselves cannot win.
Yoriichi would be able to defeat every single Hashira on this list without breaking a sweat. Such was his reputation and skill in swordsmanship.
In his own franchise, Tanjiro is outclassed by most of the nine Hashira as of the end of season 1, including Giyu Tomioka. It's easy to compare Tanjiro's strength to Giyu's — since they are both demon slayers — and they even use the same element: water.
Black swords are also supposed to hold all the colors, which means Tanjiro is to find his way through all colors and breathing techniques. It is also said to absorb the most sunlight, so it is the strongest sword against the demons.
