Demon Slayerhas been rising in popularity since its anime release back in 2019.

He inherited the title after defeating Ubume, Lower Rank One.

Like most Hashira, Sanemi is extremely skilled and powerful.

He has incredible combat proficiency and willpower that pushes him through every right, no matter the difficulty.

He has proven to hold his own against Giyu, who is one of the more powerful Hashira.

Interestingly enough, he is also Kokushibos descendant, the current Upper Moon One in the Infinity Castle.

His Mist Breathing allows him to be unpredictable and fast.

His skills have taken him as far as to defeat Upper Moon Five demon Gyokkoall by himself, surprisingly.

This harshness can be seen with new recruits as well, as Obanai feels they are too weak.

Obanai is the Serpent Hashira, having mastered Serpent Breathing.

Pretty scary for a smaller demon slayer.

The Water Hashira

Giyu is the first Hashira that Tanjiro meets.

Remarkably calm in most situations, Giyu has proven to be quite the powerful demon slayer.

He has a high level of empathy, and he can detect danger on hand.

He has even defeated Rui, using his Dead Calm ability, which Giyu is particularly famous for.

Gyomei might just be the strongest in terms of physicality within theDemon Slayeruniverse.

As a martial artist, he uses his Blood Demon Arts intelligently and to his advantage.

But it will also be interesting to see who he will take with him in the process.
