1 Kyojuro 'Flame Pillar' Rengoku And finally, let's get to the number one saddest death in the franchise, and of course, that's the death of the brightly burning Flame-Breathing user that is Kyojuro Rengoku.
1 Mitsuri Kanroji
She felt that only a man stronger than her could love her, so she worked hard to become a Hashira and meet the other Hashira, hoping her partner might be among them. Unfortunately, Mitsuri never got her wish. While battling with Muzan, she attacked viciously, losing both her arms in the process.
On a positive note, none of the Hashira died in the Swordsmith Village arc. Updated on May 5th, 2023, by Ajay Aravind: Koyoharu Gotouge's Demon Slayer is one of the best-selling manga in history, while the...
The Wind Hashira has one of the saddest backstories in Demon Slayer. His mother had turned into a demon and had killed five of his siblings. He was forced to kill his own mother in an attempt to save his only remaining brother, Genya.
The only Demon he despises the most is the Upper Rank Two: Doma. It is quite a shocker that the second most potent Demon in the Demon Slayer is not Muzan's favorite.
The Water Hashira, Giyu, survived the "Infinity Castle" arc after fighting beside Tanjiro against Akaza and Muzan.
5 Hashiras who die in Demon Slayer, and how it happens.
Unfortunately, many fan-favorite characters didn't survive in Demon Slayer, and the Hashira certainly weren't an exception. Demon Slayer's nine Hashira are humanity's last line of defense against the vicious demons that rule the night.
Muichiro Tokito: The Mist Hashira with a Mysterious Aura
Despite being blind, he maximizes his concentration through painful memories, making him a formidable fighter. His toughness, concentration, and immense strength make him an unbeatable force, and he is widely regarded as the strongest Demon Slayer in the Corps.
Shinobu Kocho (The Insect Hashira) While we don't necessarily think Shinobu Kocho is physically weak by any means, we do believe that she is currently positioned at the bottom of the totem pole compared to her fellow Hashira members.
Despite her petite appearance, Mitsuri Kanroji has a special muscular composition that makes her muscles eight times denser than an ordinary human's. She is also more flexible than the other Hashira. These two strengths balance out her being the slowest runner out of all the Hashira.
Gyōmei Himejima (悲鳴嶼 行冥, Himejima Gyōmei) is a supporting character in the 2016-2020 fantasy dark manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is the Stone Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps. He is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita (Japanese) and Crispin Freeman (English).
Demon Life
At some point, Daki fought, killed and ate seven Hashira. Two days before Tanjiro Kamado and company infiltrated the Entertainment District, Daki was confronted by Omitsu, the manager of the Kyogoku House, over her mistreatment of the staff.
After various battles within the Dimensional Infinity Fortress the remaining Upper Moons are killed by the hands of various Demon Slayers. The last member, Upper Moon Four Nakime, ends up being killed by Muzan Kibutsuji himself to stop the Dimensional Infinity Fortress from being controlled by his enemies.
2) Rengoku
However, Rengoku was forced to face off against Akaza who was Upper Moon 3. The Flame Hashira carried out his duties until his death as he did not let his comrades get injured.
The purpose of the Tsuguko is to take the place of the Hashira they serve, if and when said Hashira is put in a position where they can no longer fulfill their role as one of the champions of the Demon Slayer Corps, such as when the Hashira retires or dies.
Tengen is one of the only known Demon Slayer and Hashira to retire due to being permanently disabled instead of death or age, the other being Jigoro Kuwajima.
As for the "last ever Hashira"...that would be Shinazugawa-san as well as Tomioka-san.
Based on the familiarity in which the two conversed at the end of the story, and the fact that she was beside him when he fought Yoriichi, suggest that he did have some fondness for Tamayo, though why in never covered.
Despite being a blood-thristy demon who has murdered several people, he has a set of principles he adheres to. One thing that Demon Slayer fans have noticed is that Akaza refuses to eat or kill women. Additionally, the Demon King, Muzan, gave Akaza special permission to do so.
The warrior Muzan feared was a swordsman named Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Yoriichi was the only slayer before Tanjiro who came close to killing Muzan, and the flashback of their fight occurred in Chapter 187.
