Demon Slayer Hashira Ranking: Who Is the Strongest in the Corps?

Who is the strongest in the crops

In the fictional world of the Demon Slayer, the Hashira are considered to be the strongest official demon slayers who have achieved the highest rank within the Demon Slayer Corp. Each Hashira possesses a unique style and fighting technique to slay demons. However, some Hashira uses elemental techniques to fight their opponents.

There are 9 Demon Slayer Corp members, who hold the title of “Hashira’. They are so so powerful even the Lower Rank Demon Moons are no big deal to them. Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima stands on top in comparison to all of Hashira’s powers. He turned Hashira two months after joining the Demon Slayer Corp. The List of all the Hashira follows:

  • Shinobu Kocho – Insect Hashira
  • Muichiro Tokito – Mist Hashira
  • Mitsuri Kanroji – Love Hashira
  • Obanai Iguro – Snake Hashira
  • Tengen Uzui – Sound Hashira
  • Sanemi Shinazugawa – Wind Hashira
  • Giyu Tomioka – Water Hashira
  • Kyojuro Rengoku – Fire Hashira
  • Genya Shinazugawa – Stone Hashira

Full List of the Twelve Demon Moons in Demon Slayer

The Twelve Kizuki, aka the Twelve Demon Moons, is the elite demons who serve the Demon Slayer series’ main antagonist Mujan Kibutsuji. All these upper-class demons have consumed more Mujan’s demon blood than other mediocre demons in the series. For that reason, as the rank decreases they are way stronger than the previous ranks.

However, Twelve Demon Moons are divided into two groups which are the Upper Ranks and the Lower Ranks. Each demon’s ranking number is engraved into their eye. However, these numbers are not constant as Muzan can replace them or even kill them as their master. If a demon does not offer any value to him, Muzan does not hesitate to kill them.

Upper Rank Twelve Demon Moons:

Upper rank twelve Demon Moons

These are the most terrorizing demons of all the demons of Muzan. Some of them are living for a long time and have killed countless Hahiras. Even defeating them is almost impossible for a single Hashira.

1. Kokushibou:

Kokushibo is not just the oldest member of the Demon Moon, but also the oldest living member of the original Demon Slayer Corps. He was the second strongest swordsman next to his younger brother in Japan’s Sengoku era.

He took the path of a demon to lengthen his life span and took the most amount of Muzan’s blood. Even after becoming a demon, he was not able to defeat his brother while he was alive.

2. Doma:

Doma

Second, comes Doma who is the most sadistic demon as well as the most insane one among all the Upper Moon Demos. He is proud of being a demon and is responsible for killing most of the famous Hashiras in the group. His killing list includes Shinobu’s sister and former Flower Pillar Hashira, Kanae Kocho, Insouke’s mother, and more.

3. Akaza:

Akaza

Akaza was introduced in the movie Demon Slayer: Mugen Train and defeated Rengoku, the Flame Pillar Hashira. He is an expert in the close-range fight and has unmeasurable superhuman strength and abilities. However, he is given the series’ heart-wrenching backstory among all the demons.

4. Nakime:

Nakime

In terms of raw strength, Nakime does not have any. However, her demon abilities allow her to rearrange the space around her and the castle. In her castle, her broken ability makes her one of the most difficult demons to locate. She is the one responsible for building the Infinity Castle where Muzan hides.

5. Gyokko:

Gyokko

Another crazy-minded demon Gyokko held The Upper Moon Five before he was killed by Mist Hashira, 14-year-old Muichiro Tokito. Gyokko has a fascination with collecting arts and crafts. He is portrayed as one of the weakest Demons before a Hashira with immense potential.

6. Kaigaku:

Kaigaku

Kaigaku was a former classmate and friend of Zenitsu possessing the thunder breathing technique. He was also trained by the same teacher, Kawajima Jigoro. However, he was not able to master the First Form of the Thunder Breathing Techniques which resulted in him not being a Hashira.

So, he decided to become a demon to increase his abilities to compete against Zenitsu. However, he failed to master ‘blood demon art’ even after becoming an Upper Moon Demon.

Rank Demon
Upper Rank 1 Kokushibou
Upper Rank 2 Doma
Upper Rank 3 Akaza
Upper Rank 4 Nakime
Upper Rank 5 Gyokko
Upper Rank 6 Kaigaku
Upper Rank Twelve Demon Moons

Other than these demons from the above, few held the title of Upper Moon Demon. But they were defeated by the Hashira or the Demon Slayer Corps before the final arc of the manga.

Gyutaro and Daki were the Upper Moon Six before they were defeated.
Hantengu was also one of those who held the position of The Upper Moon Four.

Lower Rank Twelve Demon Moons:

Lower Rank Twelve Demon Moons

Other than Enmu, Rui, Susamaru, and Yahaba, none of the demons from this rank featured heavily in this series. The Lower Demon Moons were brutally killed by Muzan himself, as they were adding no value to Muzan’s goal of defeating the Hashira or bringing Nezuko to him.

1. Enmu:

Enmu

Enmu was the strongest among the Lower Six Demon moon. His ability, Dream Manipulation Technique, took many lives at The Mugen Train arc.

After Rui got defeated by Demon Slayer Corps and the Hashira, Muzan decided to eradicate all of his Lower six moon demons. However, Muzan was fascinated by the words and devotion of Enmu and granted him more of his Demon Blood. This made the last surviving Lower Six Demon moon more powerful and became the secondary antagonist in The Mugen Train arc.
