The Hashira of Demon Slayer are all vastly different when it comes to their abilities, and it can be hard to compare them when their fighting styles vary so much— but when it comes to power, Gyomei Himejima is easily the strongest of the nine.
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.
5/14 Fastest Hashira In Running
Despite his large and muscular build, Tengen Uzui is the fastest runner among the Hashira.
Sound Hashira
He is the fastest Hashira, and the second physically strongest. Obviously, then, Tengen Uzui is rather proud. He is demanding, fussy, boastful, and prone to selfishness. But he is also ultimately kind and caring, with great love for his three wives as well as the other Hashira.
Giyu Tomioka and Sanemi Shinazugawa attend as the final surviving members of the Hashira, and together they they get a confirmation that not only are the demons all eradicated, but that the Demon Slayer Corps will be disbanding.
While Gyomei and Sanemi are respectively the two top strongest Hashiras, who would you rank third most powerful and why? There are three possibilities: Giyu, Muichiro, and Obanai, now let's take a look at their abilities: Strength(Physical):
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.
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.
Despite his age, Muichiro is immensely skilled in swordsmanship, and his strength can overpower even the older Hashiras of the Demon Slayer Corps. He single-handedly defeated Upper Rank Five, Gyokko.
As it turns out, Tanjiro has received a few promotions during his service. However, saying that Tanjiro has become a Kanoe doesn't mean much on its own. The Corps' ranks and functions are fairly straightforward.
With that said, all Hashira in Demon Slayer have one glaring flaw: they're only human. As such, they're not infallible and are certainly not tougher than their demon enemies. This results in some rather lopsided matches and emotionally-charged oversights on their part.
Yuichiro Tokito ( 時 とき 透 とう 有 ゆう 一 いち 郎 ろう , Tokitō Yūichirō?) was the older twin brother of the Demon Slayer and Mist Hashira ( 霞 かすみ 柱 ばしら , Kasumi Bashira?), Muichiro Tokito.
The Mist Hashira, along with Gyomei, Sanemi, and Genya, fought the Upper Moon 1. While the group was able to defeat them, both Muichiro and Genya died due to the wounds inflicted by Kokushibo.
Over a century ago, Doma held the position of Upper Rank Six ( 上 じょう 弦 げん の 陸 ろく , Jōgen no Roku?), and during that tenure, he turned Gyutaro and Daki into demons and introduced them into the Twelve Kizuki.
2) Sanemi Shinazugawa
His fast movement, combined with his excellent swordsmanship, makes him a remarkable demon slayer. Most of his attacks are purely offensive due to his breathing style. Being a user of wind breathing, he is undoubtedly fast.
According to Tengen Uzui, Gyomei was one of the two people who became a Hashira only two months after picking up a sword, the other being Muichiro Tokito.
5/7 Speed: Tengen
Rengoku's fight in the Mugen Train arc showed his incredible speed and reflexes. He was able to match Akaza's speed, and his movements were so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to keep up. Tengen, meanwhile, is the fastest runner out of all the Hashira.
i know, though, some believe he loves hina (21) the most, because he had the most interaction with her in the manga and they have the most “husband-and-wife” feel. we also have to remember that suma (19) was tengen's first chosen wife—they both personally agreed to letting hina and makio (20) into their relationship.
Sanemi's level of openness is ranked as 60%. Sanemi is the most feared Hashira among the Demon Slayer Corps.
5/10 Did Not: Tengen Uzui Retired Before Getting His Mark
The Hashira began obtaining their marks after the Upper Moons appeared in the Swordsmith village, an event that occurs immediately after the Entertainment District Arc that Tengen battles in. After his fight against Daki and Gyutaro, Tengen had to retire.
