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.
One day, he returns home only to find his entire family slaughtered in a demon attack, with the exception of his younger sister, Nezuko Kamado, who has begun to transform into a demon herself. A Demon Slayer, Giyu Tomioka, appears to kill Nezuko, but Tanjiro does his best to try and defend her.
She is awakened by Sanemi, who stabs her in an attempt to provoke her and her brother. Sanemi trying to prove that Nezuko is dangerous, uses his marechi blood as a bait. Nezuko recalls her family and refuses to drink it at the end. She ends up becoming furious at Sanemi after being awaken and stabbed.
While Ubuyashiki reveals that he'd like to accept Tanjiro and Nezuko to join the corps, the Hashira are unable to accept this decision right away.
14 She Has A Really Sweet Relationship With The Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji. In the manga, Nezuko gets to know the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji and looks up to her like an older sister, which makes their relationship interesting since Nezuko usually sees female humans as either a surrogate mother or a young sister.
Rengoku is easily one of the most lovable Hashira in Demon Slayer. This is why it's a shame that he succumbed to the wounds that he suffered in his fight against Akaza.
7 Can't Beat: Giyu
Giyu is one of the legendary Hashira, and he's brought down demons far more powerful than Nezuko. With his level of skill and impressive agility, he'd easily defeat Tanjiro's little sister. In fact, when Giyu first meets Tanjiro and Nezuko, he almost does kill the latter.
Giyu would still instruct Tanjiro to train to become a Demon Slayer with Urokodaki. As there is no Nezuko, Tanjiro would have no reason to pity demons, and he'll be much more harsh that he would be if Nezuko was alive.
Sanemi stabs Nezuko's box multiple times, prompting her to leave it. Seeing the Hashira's wounded arm, she is transfixed by the sight of his blood.
Fans later questioned the reason for letting Nezuko live. Fans believed this could have been a strategic move from Muzan. The theory states that Muzan wanted to create a demon that developed an immunity to the sun. Upon doing so, he would consume the aforementioned demon and become invincible.
Muzan Kibutsuji
Just like Tanjiro, Nezuko shows nothing but hatred towards Muzan. During her battle with Daki , she regained the memories of when Muzan killed her loved ones which convinced her to kill one of his followers as well.
In conclusion, Nezuko cannot beat Akaza in Demon Slayer. In terms of power, physical abilities, regeneration rate and overall combat ability, Akaza is far superior compared to Nezuko.
Sanemi Shinazugawa
His body is covered with battle scars, and he seems to have the most bloodlust out of all the Hashira. He is completely intolerant of demons. All of this aggression seems to leave no room for other emotions, or is the result of repression, seen when he quickly moves on from loved one's deaths.
Zenitsu is clearly on the same level as Hashira. If we compare him to Shinobu, his speed is far better, while she lacks quite a lot in raw power. There is a good chance that he could beat Shinobu if the two decide to fight.
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.
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.
Akaza breaks Giyu's sword. Akaza and Giyu are battling fiercely, trading blows to each other. The Water Hashira has used up all his forms during the fight and Akaza proclaims that it will be the end of the Hashira, amazed at how long he fought for.
When Tanjiro is presumed dead after the battle with Muzan Kibutsuji, Giyu cries and blames himself for not being able to protect him.
1 Muzan (Demon Slayer)
Without that antidote, it would have been impossible to kill him. So despite all her strength and humanity, Nezuko would have easily lost to Muzan.
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.
Although Gyutaro might be far stronger, Nezuko would only have to keep up against the demon until sunrise. Her Blood Demon Art is such that it only affects demons, which means there is a very good possibility for her to beat the Upper Moon 6 demons.
Obanai Iguro is one of the harsher Hashira members. He demanded that Giyuu be punished for allowing Nezuko to get away unharmed, and later restrained Tanjiro as he tried to help his sister. He hates demons and has little regard for his fellow Hashira, except Mitsuri Kanroji later on.
1) Shinobu Kocho
The Insect Pillar of Demon Slayer Corps, Shinobu is undeniably the smartest individual. She might not be physically stronger than others, but her intelligence is what kept her going.
1 QUIET CHARACTER: Gyomei Himejima Is Soft-Spoken
The stone Hashira, Gyomei, is a gentle giant who is patient and firm like the earth itself.
