Ranking of the strongest characters in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"! A thorough comparison of the strength of the pillars

There are many fascinating characters in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, but the elites known as the "pillars" are the most powerful warriors in the Demon Slayer Corps. They each have their own breathing techniques and are important in opposing the Twelve Kizuki led by Kibutsuji Muzan. This time, we will bring you the "Strength Ranking of the Pillars" selected by Osamu Manga, and thoroughly compare their fighting power and individuality!

1st place: Gyomei Himejima, the Rock Pillar

The first place goes to Gyomei Himejima, the Rock Pillar, who is famous as the strongest pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. Gyomei, who has an overwhelming physique and strength, boasts outstanding fighting ability among the pillars. The "Breath of Rock" he uses has a good balance of defense and attack, and demonstrates invincible power in battles with demons. In particular, his overwhelming strength in the final battle with Muzan was impressive, and he fully demonstrated his dignity as the Rock Pillar.

Osamu Manga thought this! Gyomei is just "overwhelming". Not only is he strong, but his calm and collected judgment is also one of his strongest elements. He is kind-hearted, so it makes sense that he is number one!

2nd place: Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Pillar

In second place is Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Pillar, a warrior as passionate as fire. His "Flame Breathing" technique, as its name suggests, has overwhelming destructive power and is powerful enough to burn demons to ashes in an instant. In particular, his bravery in the fight against Enmu and Akaza in the movie "Mugen Train Arc" captured the hearts of many fans. Not only is he strong, but his indomitable spirit also makes him one of the best pillars.

Osamu Manga thought this! The way he fights with Rengoku's words "Burn your heart!" is not just strong, but also has great mental strength. It was really cool to see him risk his life to protect his friends!

3rd place: Shinazugawa Sanemi, the Wind Pillar

In third place is Shinazugawa Sanemi, the Wind Pillar, who has excellent offensive power. Sanemi's "Breath of Wind" overwhelms his enemies with sharp and fast movements, and his insane fighting style is also distinctive. Despite his harsh past, Sanemi continues to have a fierce anger towards demons and always fights them on the front lines. His dedication and tenacity towards the Demon Slayer Corps shows a strength that is unmatched by anyone.

Osamu Manga thought this! Sanemi's fighting style is exactly like that of a full-power warrior. His deep past and determination can be seen in the way he fights, transforming his hatred towards demons into power.

4th place: Mist Pillar, Tokito Muichiro

In 4th place is the genius swordsman who became a pillar at a young age, the Mist Pillar, Tokito Muichiro. His "Mist Breath" is characterized by speed and flexible movements, and his attack power is also very high. Muichiro's fighting style is different from the other pillars, and he overwhelms his enemies with precise movements without waste. He was only 14 years old when he rose to the rank of Pillar, and his abilities are genuine. He showed his talents in the fight against the Upper Rank demons.

Osamu Manga Thoughts! Muichiro's fighting style has a flowing beauty. It's amazing that he has such power at such a young age, and he's a character I'm looking forward to seeing grow in the future.

5th Place: Snake Pillar, Obanai Iguro

In fifth place is Snake Pillar, Obanai Iguro, who toyed with his enemies with snake-like tactics. His "Snake Breathing" is a fighting style that is like a snake entangling its prey, and it is characterized by a fighting style that does not give the opponent any openings. He is very calm and cunning, and has excellent situational judgment. In addition, his complex personality and kindness are also revealed by the depiction of his relationship with Love Pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji.

Osamu Manga Thoughts! Iguro is not only good at fighting, but he is also outstanding in intelligence and judgment. His tactical movements are a little different from the other pillars, and he's cool, like a smart ninja!

6th place: Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka

In 6th place is the calm and collected swordsman, Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka. His "Water Breathing" is characterized by flowing movements and high attack power. From the first time he met Tanjiro, he has shown his pride as a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, and has a strong will to make any sacrifice to protect his comrades. Giyu's calm personality is also reflected in his fighting style.

Osamu Manga thought this! Giyu doesn't say much, but his presence in battle is enormous. It's reassuring to watch him calmly overpower his enemies.

7th place: Sound Pillar, Tengen Uzui

In 7th place is Sound Pillar, Tengen Uzui, who is characterized by his flashiness. His "Sound Breathing" is a destructive attack style that uses explosions, and his flashy appearance and spectacular battles are attractive. In particular, in the battle against the Upper Rank demons at Yoshiwara Red Light District, he used his flashiness to his advantage and went on a rampage. Not only his powers, but also his relationships with his three wives and his background are very attractive points for fans.

Osamu Manga Thoughts! Tengen's battles are just flashy and overwhelm the viewer. What's great is that he's not just a fan of flashiness, but also has a kind heart and a caring heart for his friends.

8th place: Love Pillar, Kanroji Mitsuri

8th place is the Love Pillar, Kanroji Mitsuri, who has excellent physical abilities. Her "Love Breathing" is characterized by a fighting technique using a very flexible sword that bends like a whip. Kanroji has superior physical strength and explosive power compared to the other pillars, and uses that power to overwhelm her enemies. There is a big gap between her cute appearance and her strength in battle, which makes her presence stand out.

Osamu Manga Thought! Kanroji looks kind and cute at first glance, but when it comes to fighting, the gap is amazing! Her cheerfulness makes the battle scenes even more exciting.

Summary

Each of the pillars in Demon Slayer has a different personality and strength, and they fight fiercely against demons using their own breathing techniques. In the ranking selected by Osamu Manga, we compared their strength, tactics, personality, etc. comprehensively and reevaluated the appeal of each pillar. I'm looking forward to seeing how their exploits will be portrayed in the story going forward!
