Immense Stamina and Endurance: As a Hashira, Shinobu has attained tremendous levels of stamina and endurance due to years of harsh training. This was shown during her fight against Doma where she was able to keep fighting the Upper Rank despite losing a lot of blood, having one of her lungs punctured and being unable to breathe, [16] a feat which made Doma doubt if she was human. [17] Fighting Style Alternatively, a Hashira can assign a successor for themself who is known as Tsuguko. Then that Hashira will have to train that person so that they can eventually take over when the Hashira dies or retires. Shinobu has Evil Demon ( 惡 ( あっ ) 鬼 ( き ) , Akki ?) engraved on the right side of the blade, and Destruction ( 滅 ( めっ ) 殺 ( さつ ) , Messatsu ?) engraved on the left side due to her sword's structure. [6] But, using that metric, we could be seeing the Hashira Training Arc in June 2025, or in the fall, maybe November/December 2025. If it goes longer, it could be pushed to early 2026. Flexibility Training - Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji - I suppose the jokes write themselves here, but there’s a lot of dancing in leotards involved with this one.

In a last-ditch effort to stop him, an enraged Tanjiro throws his sword at Akaza, impaling the demon's chest. Akaza escapes nonetheless as Tanjiro breaks down, calling him a coward. Kyojuro encourages Tanjiro and his friends to continue on their paths and never give up before succumbing to his injuries and reuniting with his mother in the afterlife. While Tanjiro and his friends mourn Kyojuro's death, the remaining Hashiras receive the news and Kagaya appreciates him for not letting a single passenger or comrade die in his presence, stating that he will be glad to reunite with him when he finally passes. Even though the first condition seems much faster, it usually takes around 3-5 years to gain the expertise of a Hashira. Though, Gyomei Himejima and Muichiro Tokito, exceptionally, just took 2 months to become Hashira.

All of the Hashira have Destroyer of Demons ( 惡 ( あっ ) 鬼 ( き ) 滅 ( めっ ) 殺 ( さつ ) , Akki Messatsu ?) engraved on their weapons. During her battle against Doma, Shinobu reveals that she also suffers from an inferiority complex due to her inferior physical abilities compared to her fellow Hashira, having been jealous of them for possessing taller or more muscular bodies than her and cursing her own body for not developing further to make her more effective in combat.

While it is highly possible that the remaining Demon Slayer arcs can be summed up in two seasons, we suspect there is more to come. And that’s because of the huge revenue that Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train accumulated worldwide. We doubt that the anime’s creators will be ready to let go of the hype that easily. So, while the story most probably won’t go beyond the manga, its final part might come out as a movie. Though, that’s merely our speculation. Any confirmation about the same won’t arrive until the end of season 3. To be a member of the Hashira, a Demon Slayer must be among the strongest combatants in the entirety of the Demon Slayer Corps. There are two known methods (both extremely difficult) that allow one to prove that they are worthy of becoming a Hashira: the first method is to accumulate a demon kill count of at least 50 as a Kinoe-ranked Demon Slayer, or slay a member of the Twelve Kizuki. [3] [4] The second method is being a Tsuguko of a Hashira, which requires immense talent. Additionally, Tsuguko can only inherit the rank, if their respective Hashira dies or retires. The Hashira with the biggest appetite is Mitsuri Kanroji, and the one with the smallest appetite is Obanai Iguro. Obanai can go about three days without eating. Harding, Daryl (October 19, 2020).
