However, despite his forced retirement, Tengen (along with his wives) still assist with the Demon Slayer Training Program.Īfter Muzan Kibutsuji breaks into the Ubuyashiki Manor, he is attacked by Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, in an attempt to slay him, but Muzan escapes into the Infinity Castle with several other Demon Slayers chasing after them, only for them to be separated by Nakime, the new Upper Rank Four. As a result of their fight, Daki and Gyutaro died, and Tengen lost his left eye and arm, forcing him to retire and leave a second vacant Hashira position. There, they encounter Upper Rank Six, Daki and Gyutaro. Not long after that, Tengen Uzui takes Tanjiro and his group to a mission in the Red Light District.
A battle between Akaza and Kyojuro Rengoku occurs, and as a result of the fight, Kyojuro dies from his wounds and leaves an empty Hashira spot, while Akaza flees with his life. Known MembersĪfter the fight with Lower Rank One, Enmu, the Upper Rank Three, Akaza, shows up. This training method has proven to be very effective in the Infinity Castle Arc where the majority of Demon Slayers were able to effectively kill Lower Rank-level demons regardless of their ranking. It is considered a win-win situation for both the Hashira and the Demon Slayers, as even the Hashira get to improve due to being constantly attacked by wave upon wave of juniors ranked lower than themselves. Hashira Training is extremely strenuous because of this, a majority of the Demon Slayers view the training session as an everlasting trip in hell, with a few notable exceptions who see the session as a chance to improve themselves.Īs a general rule, Hashira must take part in each other's training sessions. Known training includes: basic stamina training, flexibility training, quick movement training, sword skill training, pounding training, and muscle reinforcement training. The aim of Hashira Training is to improve all Demon Slayers' physical abilities and overall health and condition, giving the members of the Demon Slayer Corps a better chance of winning the war against demons.Įach of the Hashira oversees a different part of the training program. The Hashira Training is a special training session conducted by the Hashira and undertaken by numerous lower ranked Demon Slayers. To become a Tsuguko, a Demon Slayer can either apply for the position and get accepted, or get scouted by one of the current Hashira. In some cases, an exceptionally talented Demon Slayer can become the designated successor to one of the Hashira, known as a Tsuguko. The effort required to achieve either of these methods requires almost five years worth of training, though, the talented might take only two or so years to do so. The second and last method is being a Tsuguko of a Hashira, which requires immense talent in of itself, and only takes effect when said Hashira dies or retires.
There are two known methods 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 or slay a member of the Twelve Kizuki as a Kinoe-ranked Demon Slayer. To be a member of the Hashira, a Demon Slayer must be among the strongest combatants in the entirety of the Demon Slayer Corps. Swordsmen who can use the Flame Breathing and Water Breathing have become Hashira in every era, with no exceptions thus far. They are also deployed on missions only if members of lower ranks are unable to complete it.Įach Hashira possesses a distinct and unique Breathing Style, some of which are even created by themselves. The Hashira are all assigned a specific region that they are required to patrol, usually to gather information about the demons inhabiting the said area and to improve their swordsmanship.
The Hashira, in accordance with their great strength, are the highest ranking members in the organization, second only to the Corps leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and later, Kiriya Ubuyashiki. Therefore, their existence literally sustains the entire organization. The Hashira are the nine overall most powerful members and combatants in the entirety of the Demon Slayer Corps, and often regarded as the most skilled swordsmen among all Demon Slayers, protecting them against more dangerous threats that cannot be handled by any other Demon Slayer. The Hashira (all revealed) in Episode 23's opening.
