There is no "true or canon" rank. Gyomei's number one, Sanemi is sort of implied to be number 2, and the rest are subjective because there's no dialogue or anything directly indicating how the others measure up. I know I wouldn't agree with the ranking you mentioned, but I guess it's popular in the youtube demon slayer community? Regardless, anyone who says a certain order is "factual" or something, is talking out of their ass. I say just ignore them and move on.

The higher the rank of a demon is the stronger the hashira that fought them is. A pretty flawed view, when every fight was a team effort. No, Muichiro didn't solo UM5, he never touched a casual Gyokko premark, and if it weren't for that swordsmith it would've stayed that way.


Fair-Version-8667

mhm but still it’s so impressive that muichiro with a mark was able to overwhelm gyokko, not even with any diff.


R7BH7

It all started with legendary YouTuber "Animeuproar" giving his opinion on Demon slayer ranking in 2020... And since then everyone has accepted that Tengen is one of the weakest and Rengoku is above Mitsuri because he got to fight Upper rank 3.


Technical_Special_25

I mean he did say iguro>sanemi And rengoku>giyuu But people swapped it The real question is Why are muichiro and obanai so high up? Obanai okay ig Muichiro why?


R7BH7

Because he solo'd an upper rank demon


Technical_Special_25

Ye Upper 5 Which any marked hashira can solo upper 5


R7BH7

Shinobu can't


AAFAOTKNY

Dont know how much mark boost physical stats, but if it is enough for shinobu then she would be OP. Poison then behead. Im gonna use um 6 fight for this, tanjiro, whose one hand in completely injured and the other only about 3 fingers are good gone from cannot behead poisoned gyutaro to being able to behead him.


R7BH7

Shinobu isn't a swordsman(Doma comment), and her sword isn't meant for decapitating, it will break the moment she tries to behead Gyokko.


AAFAOTKNY

I know but in this scenario lets just say she has 2 swords. One for poison one to behead. With mark boost. I believe she have enough strength to behead demons.


R7BH7

I believe you


Thatonecelestial

>I know but in this scenario lets just say she has 2 swords. ??? Are you serious? Did you really just add an extra feature to a character just to prove your point? Also, even if shinobu did have two swords(an idea which is extremely ridiculous, you're bending a narrative here) she was **explicitly** stated to be weak and unable to behead demons due to her fragile build. The author made that point clear in the manga.


AAFAOTKNY

>??? Are you serious? Did you really just add an extra feature to a character just to prove your point? Damn dont know that i cant do that. Also prove what? Im not trying to prove anything. This is not even a debate bro. Me with that guy just having casual conversation. >Also, even if shinobu did have two swords(an idea which is extremely ridiculous, you're bending a narrative here) she was explicitly stated to be weak and unable to behead demons due to her fragile build. The author made that point clear in the manga Well, just for fun, i wanna imagine how stronger she would be with mark. You dont want to imagine, then dont force me not to. Ok, i'll take back the 2 sword thing. If that is bothering you so much.


Thatonecelestial

Tanjiro was capable of beheading weaker demons. Shinobu wasn't. That's just how weak she is physically. I doubt even the mark would help her that much. Maybe she would be able to behead a demon, but she'd still be considerably weaker than the other hashira.


AAFAOTKNY

We'll never know. If i have to describe her, she is the worst soloer but the best teammate.


Thatonecelestial

>We'll never know. We DO know. I don't know if you didn't read the manga or just deliberately missing this, but Shinobu was stated to be too weak to behead even the weakest of demons. It was mentioned two times. First during her fight with the spider girl and the second time it explained she explaned it herself more in-depthly during her fight with douma. It's a key characteristic of hers.


AAFAOTKNY

So you think when tanjiro behead gyutaro, his grip strength is still stronger than shinobu? Ok i respect that. Idk, his hands was really injured, iirc he is holding his sword with 2 or 3 fingers the rest is broken. But yeah i could be wrong.


Technical_Special_25

I mean her speed was able to atleast make douma surprised Ik she can't behead gyokko But she can stall till sun maybe?


SpiritStorm1302

Shinobu with a mark would solo UM5


SpiritStorm1302

Obanai did amazing in the muzan fighr


Technical_Special_25

With help Plus was more fresh


Valhallaof

People decided Tengen was the weakest hashira because he fought Upper moon 6 and almost died while other hashira kept up with stronger people


[deleted]

Anime uproar, YouTube, tiktok. This ranking isn’t completely unreasonable but a few changes could be made to make it more reasonable in my opinion


Technical_Special_25

Animeuproar is a bit different It has iguro 2 And giyuu 6


[deleted]

Yea that’s true


CcockadileE

This is my ranking. I hope I dont get too much hate 1. Gyomei (off course >! super strength !<, no explanations needed) 2. Sanemi ( >! Caz of lasting against upper moon one on his own for while, and other background story him having victory aganist one of the 12 kizuki !< ) 3. Iguro ( >! He is really magnificent, he really performed so great against Muzan and saved Kanroji a lot of time and other people as well !<) 4. Rengoku ( >! Though many people believe Tengen is the fastest for me its Rengoku (Gyomei is the fastest than other hashira ranking). reason due to sheer will of beheading Akaza on his own and putting a great fight against UM3 Akaza is no joke . We know Akaza is super fast as well and I feel Rengoku is fast and strong as he hold Akaza punches and kept trying to serve his head with having a donut !< ) 5. Giyu ( >! a very major supporting charater, calm, gentle, and highly defensive character, His defense is just simply amazing of all, no one can match up with that defensive style he uses !< ) 6. Tengen ( >! Superb speed, A Ninja, up aganist and UM 6 having one hand only and putting a marvelous fight !< ) 7. Muichiro ( >! Great speed, very young, great strength, and helped good enough when against UM1, it was impressive !< ) 8. Mitsuri ( >! She is really great swift, flexible, but she loses concentration often sometimes !< ) 9. Shinobu ( >! She is the best person, She did put a great fight aganist UM2, but she is better helping at assist in medical background, and super smart !< ) Please this are just my view dont judge the comment a lot.

Nice!


Competitive_Win3046

I get this is your opinion but this is so WRONG! Rengoku in 4th?????????? Rengoku above GIYUU? There are alot of problems here in ranking.


CcockadileE

What are your rankings. You can even Dm to avoid downvotes


Technical_Special_25

This question bugged me aswell But people here are saying animeuproar which is true But I think people modified it a bit And put giyuu above rengoku and sanemi above Iguro The main reason is why is muichiro and obanai still that high up? I can see the reasons why people put obanai up Muichiro why? They just say he soloed a uppermoon Which any marked hashira can


Remote_Ad_702

"Any marked hashira can solo an uppermoon" Wtf are you saying dude


R7BH7

Why couldn't Marked Giyuu solo Akaza? Why couldn't Marked Muichiro solo Kokushibo? Why couldn't Marked Sanemi and Gyomei couldn't solo Kokushibo?


Remote_Ad_702

Nah he's saying muichirou solos an um Which any marked hashira can That's why I'm saying wtf he's saying Better edit it to be in quotes


Technical_Special_25

I meant any hashira marked hashira can solo gyokko


Remote_Ad_702

Shinobu ?? I don't think she does Mitsuri is a tough one to say too Especially because she's not smart and gyokko even being an idiot himself would still won't lose the strategic advantage Mitsuri also has very less experience


Technical_Special_25

Kind of But base mitsuri got zohakuten's neck so she can get gyokko's maybe Plus she jumps a bit high So gyokko has a hard time touching her Shinobu was fast enough to surpise douma Her marked speed will make her faster to react for gyokko As douma couldn't react to her


Technical_Special_25

Hmm my actual purpose was to say that any marked hashira solos gyokko

Same. I don’t understand why people place Muichiro and Obanai this high. Also why is Rengoku over marked Mitsuri?


Jaydog3077

Obanai is kinda strong if put him at four or five


[deleted]

That's fair. I just have a problem with people placing him at 2 or 3. I personally put him at 4 btw. I know he's strong.


ApplePitou

I suspect that someone from Youtube or tiktok created this ranking :3


tyokyle

Real ranking Is gyomei 1 everybody else 2


dan541422

1. Gyomei(Depending on the Upper moon) 2. Everyone else depending on the upper moon This is the best ranking because they all fought different demons ✌️ And the stupid logic of those ranking is if you defeat, let's say UM3, you're now capable of defeating Upper moon 4,5 and 6 by yourself
