While Yoriichi is universally considered the strongest Demon Slayer ever, the debate about who's second is complex, with many fans placing the final form Demon King Tanjiro (DKT) as potentially the most powerful due to his sunlight immunity, allowing him to outlast even Yoriichi, but Yoriichi's skill is unmatched; other contenders for second strongest are Gyomei Himejima and Sanemi Shinazugawa, though Tanjiro's peak power with Sun Breathing and Marked status puts him at their level or slightly above.
Not a chance. Yoriichi was born with what his brother considered to be a divine gift for swordsmanship, and in his prime he could have killed Muzan as easily as if he was a regular no-name demon. No way Tanjiro could have ever gotten anywhere near that level.
15 Strongest Demon Slayer Characters, Ranked
Demon Slayer enthusiasts are buzzing about the connection between Tanjiro Kamado and the formidable Upper Moon One, Kokushibo. While not directly related, Tanjiro is seen as the spiritual successor to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Kokushibo's twin.
Considering the official storyline, Akaza is stronger than Tanjiro alone during their fight. Tanjiro alone does not win against Akaza; it requires a team effort to defeat him. Therefore: In a one-on-one fight, Akaza would most likely win.
After Akaza's death, Doma says that he felt as if the Upper Rank had turned into a different creature before he died, and that his demise is inevitable because he never ate any women. Doma begins to cry over his "best friend"'s death, but Kanao just tells him to stop with the lies.

Tanjiro's Father Was A Hashira Level GOD | Demon Slayer Tanjuro Kamado's Backstory Explained.
Swordsmith Village Arc
After falling into a coma in the aftermath of his battle against Upper Rank Six, Tanjiro Kamado dreams of memories belonging to his ancestor Sumiyoshi. Within them, Yoriichi is seen holding a newborn Sumire as her mother sleeps.
Muzan Kibutsuji's motivation to kill Tanjiro's family was to create a demon immune to sunlight, fulfilling his desire to be unstoppable. Nezuko's transformation into a demon immune to sunlight ultimately backfired on Muzan, leading to his ultimate downfall in Demon Slayer.
In second place is the Wind Hashira. The way he rushes into battle is like a driving wind.
Ten years after they first met, the two got married. The final month of Uta's pregnancy approached, Yoriichi had to leave her at home as he went to fetch a midwife, however upon returning he found that his wife and unborn child had both been slaughtered in cold blood by a Demon.
Even 400 years later, Muzan's fear of Yoriichi remained fully intact, as simply laying eyes on Tanjiro's hanafuda earrings caused him to recall their clash.
Tanjiro is not a Hashira within the Demon Slayer Corps. Officially, the highest rank he attains is Hinoe, the third highest position within the Corps.
Though Gojo is arguably stronger and would likely win in a fight with Yoriichi, Yoriichi embodies the concept of being "the strongest" better.
Sun Breathing, also known as Hinokami Kagura, is one of the Breathing Styles created by Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Using this technique, Yoriichi almost defeats Muzan Kibutsuji in the Sengoku era. It is passed down in a modified form to Tanjiro Kamado.
The only canonically LGBTQ+ character in Demon Slayer is Suma, one of Tengen Uzui's wives, who is confirmed to be bisexual and polyamorous in the series' databooks, showing affection for both men and women, including Tengen and her fellow wives, Makio and Hinatsuru. While other characters like Mitsuri are speculated to be queer, Suma is the sole officially confirmed character, with her relationship dynamic highlighting both bisexuality and polyamory within the Demon Slayer Corps.
Swordsmith Village Arc
As he sleeps, recovering from the injuries he acquired during his fight with Gyutaro and Daki, Tanjiro sees a fragment of a memory inherited from Sumiyoshi. In it, Sumiyoshi was shown interacting with Yoriichi, who had visited his house during his second child's birth.
Kanae Kocho, Kyojuro Rengoku, Tengen Uzui, and Shinobu Kocho were the only Hashira of the Taisho Era to never awaken the Demon Slayer Mark. In Tengen's case, it was because Tanjiro had not yet awakened his Demon Slayer Mark, and as such there was no precursor he could come into contact with to help activate it.
One of the reasons people might consider Shinobu the "weakest" Hashira is because, unlike the others, she can't behead demons, which is usually the easiest way to kill them. Instead, she uses poison to defeat them.
The protagonist of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Tanjiro Kamado is the oldest son of already deceased charcoal-seller Tanjuro and Kie.
Tanjiro may not be the chosen one because Yoriichi was the chosen one from the moment he was born as he possesses abilities which was essential to take down muzan. Yoriichi himself says that he was born to kill muzan when he encountered him.
As the highest-ranking member of the Twelve Kizuki, Kokushibo is an extraordinarily powerful demon, second only to the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji himself. He has battled countless Demon Slayers and has amassed vast experience and knowledge over his nearly 500-year-long life.
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.
