press space tomorrows project: ranking hashira based off of iq.
this will be an episodic series based on different things the hashira can do. the 1st is strength and others will be iq, flexibility, attack speed, normal speed, technique speed etc. 9. shinobu is the weakest as stated by the author AND herself, saying she has to rely on poison because she physically cant behead demons. 8. mitsuri had herself, a hashira, tanjiro, and genya who EATS demons and they still struggled against BOTH upper 4 demons, being hantengu and nakime. 7. tengen slander HAS to stop. he cannot be the weakest hashira when he has one of if not the strongest techniques among the hashira. not sound breathing, but his Musical Score technique. he can read attacks like SHEET MUSIC and people wanna call him the 2nd weakest hashira. 6. obanai is my personal least favorite hashira but I can say he is a bit stronger than tengen. he is more flexible and agile than tengen and he did most of the work in the fight against nakime. the only thing holding him back is his crush on mitsuri. 5. rengoku isn't the strongest hashira but far from the weakest. he put up a great fight against upper 3 and almost won the entire fight if akaza hadn't torn his arms off. he is the most heroic due to the fact he saved all 200 people on the Mugen train. 4. muichiro may have memory loss, but he is certainly not weak because of that. but he had that entire fight against upper 5 and PLAYED with him the entire time. the only time he struggled was with the water prison pot. 3. giyu struggled against upper 3 but him and tanjiro prevailed against akaza. only reason he is stronger than rengoku is because giyu unlocked his demon slayer mark halfway through the fight and had tanjiro who had already awakened his mark. 2. sanemi ran a 4v1 against kokushibo. him, Gyomei, genya and muichiro vs upper 1 and sanemi survived. he survived mainly because he knew the distances that kokushibo could reach so he got good hits in but also evaded very well. 1. Gyomei is undoubtedly the strongest hashira in terms of strength and overall the 4th most powerful character in the verse. he ran a 4v1 against kokushibo, won that and only died to the fact that he lost his leg and the fact he was fighting on borrowed time due to the demon slayer mark.
