Who can beat rengoku?

While Rengoku is incredibly powerful, characters who could potentially beat him include higher-ranked demons like Kokushibo (Upper Moon One) and potentially Muzan Kibutsuji himself, as well as stronger, marked Hashira like a fully realized Giyu Tomioka, Gyomei Himejima, and possibly Sanemi Shinazugawa, due to their superior stats, special abilities (like Gyomei's transparent world or Sanemi's ferocity), or marked power boosts that Rengoku lacked in his fight against Akaza.


Who is stronger than Rengoku?

Rengoku isn't the weakest hashira but he isn't top 5 either. Muichiro,Giyu,Sanemi, Gyomei & Obanai are way stronger than him.

Which Hashira can Rengoku beat?

Breathing Style

As the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro is his generation's most skilled Flame Breathing user. He became evidently proficient in fighting with this Breathing Style, being able to singlehandedly defeat former Lower Rank Two, Hairo and later hold his own against Upper Rank Three, Akaza.


Who's stronger, Rengoku or Tengen?

Most fans and analyses conclude Rengoku is stronger than Tengen, largely because Rengoku fought the Upper Moon Three (Akaza) and held his own until sunrise, whereas Tengen struggled with Upper Moon Six (Gyutaro) and needed extensive support and poison to survive, despite his impressive feats, with Rengoku even being called the strongest by Tanjiro. While Tengen has high speed and skill (Musical Score), Rengoku's raw power, speed, and endurance against a higher-ranked demon are seen as superior.
 

Who is stronger, Rengoku or Akaza?

Akaza is significantly stronger than Rengoku because he's an Upper Moon Demon with superhuman strength, regeneration, and endless stamina, while Rengoku, despite being a powerful Hashira, is still human and eventually succumbed to his injuries, whereas Akaza could heal. While Rengoku put up an incredible fight, even managing to injure Akaza and temporarily overpower him, Akaza's demonic advantages of rapid healing and infinite stamina ultimately allowed him to win, as he was also holding back and trying to convert Rengoku.

Who is the 3 strongest demon slayer?

There's no single definitive answer for the "third strongest" Demon Slayer as rankings vary, but Gyomei Himejima (Stone Hashira) is consistently top-tier, with many fans placing him #1 or #2, making figures like Sanemi Shinazugawa (Wind Hashira), Giyuu Tomioka (Water Hashira), Muichiro Tokito (Mist Hashira), or Obanai Iguro (Snake Hashira) as strong contenders for the third spot after Gyomei and possibly Yoriichi Tsugikuni (legendary ancestor) or Demon King Tanjiro. 

Why did Doma cry when Akaza died?

Douma cried when Akaza died as a performance and mockery of genuine emotion, because Douma genuinely lacks empathy and cannot feel sadness, despite his cheerful facade; he saw Akaza's death as a pointless end for a powerful demon and was ironically upset that he couldn't feel the loss, while also seeing it as a weakness in his "family". Kanao explicitly calls out his faked tears, recognizing them as meaningless babble from someone who never truly felt anything, reflecting Douma's own inability to comprehend human emotions.
 

Who is the 7 strongest Hashira?

There's no single "official" 7th strongest, as rankings vary, but often Mitsuri Kanroji (Love Hashira) or Tengen Uzui (Sound Hashira) are cited as #7, depending on whether you prioritize Mitsuri's marked strength against Upper Moon 4 or Tengen's speed and endurance against Gyutaro, with some lists placing Muichiro or Obanai at that spot, but Gyomei is always #1.
 


How would Giyuu kiss you?

Giyuu Tomioka's kisses, in fan interpretations, often start gentle and hesitant, reflecting his reserved nature, but quickly become deep, passionate, and possessive as he opens up, showing intense love, warmth, and a desire to connect, often involving forehead kisses and a need to hold you close, driven by feeling lucky and wanting to protect you. He'd pull you in, perhaps slightly embarrassed but unable to stop, wanting to show his deep affection that he struggles to express verbally, making kisses feel overwhelming and heartfelt. 

Can Rengoku defeat Gyutaro?

Most fans believe Rengoku would likely defeat Gyutaro in a one-on-one fight, primarily due to the significant power gap between Upper Ranks, with Gyutaro being Upper Six and Rengoku holding his own against Upper Three Akaza; however, Gyutaro's poison and Daki's presence (if a 2v1) pose major challenges that make it a difficult, high-difficulty fight, not a cakewalk. Rengoku's superior strength and Flame Breathing would overcome Gyutaro's offense, but poisoning would be his biggest threat and could turn the tide if he's not careful. 

Who is LGBTQ in demon slayer?

The main canonically LGBTQ+ character in Demon Slayer is Suma, one of Tengen Uzui's wives, who is confirmed to be bisexual and polyamorous in the official Corps Manual, showing affection for both men (Tengen) and women (her co-wives Makio and Hinatsuru). While other characters like Mitsuri Kanroji have strong bonds and fan theories, Suma is the only one explicitly confirmed with an LGBTQ+ identity within the main story's official canon.
 


Did all 9 Hashira die?

While many Hashira died in the fight, some survived: Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, and Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira, both survive the final fight, carrying on the memory of their fallen comrades. Tanjiro also survives, and after the war, the Demon Slayer Corps disbands because demons are gone for good.

Who is rank 1 in demon slayer?

The #1 ranked demon in Demon Slayer is Kokushibo, also known as Upper Rank One (Jōgen no Ichi) of the Twelve Kizuki, holding the highest position among Muzan's powerful demons, a former Demon Slayer from the Sengoku era and the twin brother of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. He's an incredibly formidable antagonist, wielding Moon Breathing and a unique Flesh Katana, and is second only to Muzan himself in power.
 

Who is the 2nd strongest Hashira?

There's no single definitive "2nd Strongest Hashira," as it's debated, but Gyomei Himejima (Stone) is universally #1; after him, arguments often center on Sanemi Shinazugawa (Wind) and Giyu Tomioka (Water) as interchangeable top contenders, with some fan rankings placing Kyojuro Rengoku (Flame) or Muichiro Tokito (Mist) high up, depending on whether one prioritizes raw stats, special abilities like Demon Slayer Marks, or overall combat prowess.
 


Which Hashira hates Tanjiro?

The Hashira who most strongly disliked Tanjiro, especially early on, was Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Hashira, due to Tanjiro protecting his demon sister Nezuko (a major rule break) and his general jealousy, though he also showed some disdain for Tanjiro's perceived weakness and rule-bending. 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. 

Can Muichiro beat Akaza?

Most fans believe Akaza would likely win in a 1v1 against Muichiro, primarily due to Akaza's overwhelming regeneration, immense strength, and his Compass Needle technique, which counters Muichiro's mist-based strategies; however, with his Demon Slayer Mark, See-Through World, and Red Blade (full potential), the fight becomes extremely difficult, with some fans arguing Muichiro could potentially win at peak performance but would still suffer heavy damage, as Akaza's regeneration and stamina are formidable.
 

Is Shinobu LGBTQ?

Whether a "Shinobu" character is LGBTQ+ depends on which one; in anime/manga, characters like Shinobu Takatsuki (Junjou Romantica) are gay, while Shinobu Kocho (Demon Slayer) is often headcanoned as bisexual/lesbian by fans, though not officially confirmed, with Suma being the only canon LGBTQ+ Demon Slayer character.
 


Who has a crush on Giyuu?

In Demon Slayer, Shinobu Kocho is heavily implied to have a crush on Giyu, often teasing him and showing unique interest, though Giyu is usually oblivious, seeing her as a friend or sibling, while fans widely ship them (GiyuShino) due to their dynamic and subtle hints, though it's not explicitly canon. Some fan interpretations also explore other characters, like Kyojuro Rengoku, having crushes on him, but Shinobu is the primary character with shown romantic interest.
 

Do Hashira get paid?

Yes, Hashira get paid well by the Ubuyashiki family that funds the Demon Slayer Corps, but instead of a fixed salary, they can essentially request as much money as they need or want, allowing them to live lavishly, fund personal projects (like Shinobu's hospital), and afford luxuries like Rengoku's massive food budget. Their high status grants them significant financial freedom, funded by the Ubuyashiki clan's vast wealth, though they still fight to protect humanity. 

Why do people say Tengen is weak?

Tengen Uzui is considered "weak" by some fans because he's a short-term Hashira who couldn't defeat Gyutaro alone, lacked a Demon Slayer Mark, and has a less versatile breathing style compared to other top Hashira, but he's actually very strong, possessing incredible speed, physical power, poison resistance, and unique skills like "Musical Score" which almost beat an Upper Moon. His perceived weakness stems from fighting an Upper Moon with assistance (Daki) and retiring due to injury, leading some to rank him lower than stronger, marked Hashira like Gyomei or Muichiro.
 


Was Light actually sad when L died?

Light Yagami didn't show overt sadness at L's death because he was Kira and had won, but fans debate if he felt a complex mix of triumph, shock, and perhaps a subconscious loss for his only real rival/friend, with his final moments seeing L suggesting a deeper connection he couldn't acknowledge. While Light celebrated outwardly as Kira, his internal struggle and eventual regret/grief when facing his own death, seeing L instead of his father, hints at a more conflicted reality than pure joy.
 

Is Doma the father of Inosuke?

No, Douma is not Inosuke's biological father, but he is responsible for Inosuke becoming an orphan because he ate Inosuke's mother, Kotoha Hashibira, after she sought refuge with his cult, leading to Inosuke's eventual wild upbringing by boars. Inosuke later seeks revenge on Douma in their climactic battle in the manga/anime.
 

Would Akaza fight a woman?

Yes, Akaza would fight a woman, but he has a strict rule not to kill or eat them, stemming from his human life and love for Koyuki, often choosing to incapacitate them, leave, or get frustrated if they are strong Demon Slayers like a Hashira. While he avoids killing women, he still seeks strong opponents, so he might engage female Demon Slayers like Mitsuri or Shinobu, but wouldn't aim to end their lives, potentially letting them pass or subduing them non-lethally.
