Is Tanjiro Hashira level?

Yes, Tanjiro reaches and surpasses Hashira-level strength by the end of Demon Slayer, even fighting Upper Moon demons and damaging Muzan significantly, though he doesn't officially become a Hashira due to the Corps' ranking system, often operating beyond mere rank with his unique abilities like the Transparent World and Sun Breathing. He meets and exceeds the requirements to be one early on, but his rapid progression and the sheer power of the Upper Moons he fights solidify his place among the elite, even if unofficial.

Did Zenitsu get the mark?

No, Zenitsu does not get the official Demon Slayer Mark (the strength-enhancing tattoo-like mark) in the manga or anime, despite his incredible power and near-death experiences; he defeats his powerful opponent Kaigaku with a self-created technique, but the conditions for the mark (extreme conditions like 39°C temp/200bpm heart rate plus proximity to a marked slayer) aren't met in the way needed for him to manifest it, though some fans debate lightning-like marks he gets are the mark.

Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira, also intensely hated Tanjiro and Nezuko, violently attacking them, but Obanai's disapproval was more rooted in strict adherence to Corps rules. 

Who is the weakest Hashira?

The "weakest" Hashira is widely considered to be Shinobu Kocho, not because she's truly weak, but due to her lack of physical strength to decapitate demons, relying instead on incredible speed and lethal poison, making her highly effective but vulnerable if her poison fails against powerful foes like Upper Moons. While other Hashira might have higher raw power, Shinobu's strategic use of chemistry, speed (fastest Hashira), and self-sacrifice makes her formidable in her own unique way.

Why did Tanjiro's forehead scar change?

Tanjiro's scar changes because it's not just a simple scar, but his awakened Demon Slayer Mark, evolving with his growth, power, and connection to Sun Breathing (Hinokami Kagura); it transforms from a faint mark to a jagged shape after his battle with the Hand Demon and then into a distinct flame-like pattern, symbolizing his increasing strength and lineage to Yoriichi.
 

Why did Tengen not get a mark?

Tengen Uzui didn't awaken his Demon Slayer Mark primarily because he was actively slowing his heart rate to survive Gyutaro's poison, directly contradicting the mark's requirement for a heart rate over 200 bpm and high body temperature. Additionally, a key condition for the mark to appear in the Taisho era was for a Sun Breathing user (like Tanjiro) to first unlock theirs, and while Tanjiro did, it happened at the very end of their fight, leaving no time for Tengen to manifest it.
 

Can Tanjiro survive the mark?

The fate of Tanjiro surviving the Demon Slayer Mark is a popular debate: most evidence and characters (like Muzan) suggest the mark shortens life to 25, but as a Sun Breathing user with a unique mark resembling Yoriichi's, theories suggest he might survive, with some believing his demonic transformation and return to human form altered his fate, while others think he still died young, or that his unique circumstances bless him with longevity. The manga leaves his ultimate fate ambiguous but heavily implies the curse applied, though his connection to Sun Breathing offers hope.
