Ranked 5 strongest characters Kimetsu no Yaiba 2022

Surprisingly, many fans think that the villain of Kimetsu no Yaiba – Muzan is stronger than the legendary swordsman Yoriichi.

The expansion of the power scale of the characters in the series has helped the Kimetsu no Yaiba anime pace to be pushed up significantly, the characters are constantly facing new challenges to hone their skills. Therefore, it becomes relatively difficult to classify the strength of each character because the degree of difference between them changes constantly.

  1. Gyomei – The Strongest Pillar I Live

Many consider Gyomei to be the strongest pillar alive. He possesses endurance, martial skills and patience that surpasses that of his teammates, which was most recognized when the two were pitted against each other. The turret rarely attacks without calculation, considering the outcome at any time.

Gyomei’s fighting style is Kasarigamajutsu, combined with the traditional Kusarigama instead of the Nichirin swords used by other Demon Slayer members. Furthermore, the breath created by Gyomei had enough power to overwhelm demons like Kokushibo.

  1. Kokushibo – Power beyond human understanding

Kokushibo is the head of Muzan’s upper-class demon, it can be said that after one person, out of ten thousand people. He survived for hundreds of years, continuously training in technique and tactics, so his strength surpassed human understanding. Even the pillars trembled at his uncontrollable bloodlust.

The two most formidable pillars of the Demon Slayer, Gyomei and Sanemi, fought with all their might against Kokushibo, but they still had to rely on luck and sacrifice of the pillar and Genya to defeat Kokushibo.

  1. Tanjiro – The one who restores the breath of the sun

Tanjiro’s birth heralds a major turning point in the millennial war between demons and humans in Kimetsu no Yaiba, although no one knows it and the boy himself encounters many difficulties in life. First, Tanjiro’s mother and brothers were murdered by Muzan.

Tanjiro harbors guilt and promises to find a way to help Nezuko return to being human. Tanjiro’s first iron attack is often used in a few urgent situations, but the most significant power he has is the restoration of the sun breath – the long-lost original breath.

  1. Yoriichi Tsugikuni – Legendary Swordsman makes Muzan tremble

Yoriichi Tsugikuni deserves to be called the legendary swordsman, the strongest in the hundred-year history of the Demon Slayer. Unlike other swordsmen, who may or may not have the Demon Slayer Seal after growing up, Yoriichi has had it since birth. He even invented the breath of the sun himself – the breath of origin.

Later, Yoriichi combined the breath of the sun with his superior sword technique to create attacks that the demons couldn’t dodge. Although just an ordinary person, but Yoriichi is the fear that haunts every cell of Muzan even after he has passed away for hundreds of years.

  1. Muzan Kibutsuji – A demon that is intelligent and possesses tremendous power

Although Yoriichi is very strong, he is still a human and also has to go through birth – old age – illness – death. Therefore, Yoriichi cannot shine with Muzan – an immortal living for thousands of years. Muzan mastered a variety of skills and techniques, enough to deal with and take down each pillar.

If that wasn’t enough, Muzan was also able to control and manipulate subordinate demons with precision at the molecular level. Therefore, a 1:1 fight with Muzan is almost impossible, even with the strongest pillars.
