Mine is giyu,mitsuri,rengoku

like say akaza comes in. doesn't use compass (because at this point it technically wasnt turned on) and just wasnt expecting tanjiro to be this fast

how does the fight play out now?

That’s it. Just Mitsuri.

Gyutaro>Kaigaku

I have an arg i could never actually believe in but it gets a hashira that clearly isn't top 2 to top 2 and maybe it would be fun

Some of the info we know about him:

1) Trained with Yorrichi

2) Created Moon breathing

3) Was 2nd strongest slayer in the "Golden Age of Demon Slayers"

4) Had a permanent Mark, just like Yorrichi.

5) Has no major feats, just narrative.

So where do you scale him and what's your reason?

It's so obvious that the dude who actually utilities his BDA to its full potential is above the guy who larps being a swordsman. I've finally seen the truth.

SONdeep pls stop 😭

Trainmu would have sleep diffed Reng0ku if not for Demon Queen Nezuko burning his ticket. He almost killed Akaza. Akaza packed up Marked Giyu.

Enmu > Rengoku ~ Akaza > Marked Giyu

Personally, I think he beats all the Upper Moons yes even kokushibo cause he showed exponential growth in the manga, but what do you guys think.

i also think he would be stronger than every other hashira by a huge margin

basically yorichii lite.

Assume that Neo, as The One, can imbue his strikes with sunlight.

He is connected to the Source in Machine City and is putting his life on the line to eradicate the Demon virus in The Matrix's 1920s Japan.

The fight takes place in Infinity Castle with both sides enraged. All demons and Muzan are at full strength and have no debuffs.

From the beginning to the end of the show

Think about he will have to use stone breathing(big weapon) in enclosed moving environment with lots of unconscious passengers.

Yes Gyomei is the strongest Hashira but the Mugen train environment is clearly a huge disadvantage to him unlike the other Hashira’s who will have an easier time due to most of them using basic nichirin swords(I’m not so sure about Mitsuri and Tengen).

I don't plan to stay but I do feel as if kny? deserves more love from me in terms of powerscaling 🥹

If a demon is not getting blitzed or overwhelmed by the slayer's speed(they can keep up and match the speed, not necessarily even surpass the slayer's speed), they are playing the slayer, no matter how you look at it. Doesn't matter how strong and fast the slayer is, doesn't matter how hard the demon is trying to keep up the speed; as long as their head is intact and nothing hampers their regen, they will always win

Nothing prevents them from fully spamming the fuck out of their best moves, and the slayers who can tank it will eventually succumb to exhaustion. Demons have everything on their side from inhuman BDA to regen to infinite stamina. Why would they lose to a slayer they can protect their neck against? That is why I think that the result of a slayer loss against a relative speed and strength demon is inevitable.

Take the best example of this. Marked Giyu vs compass-enabled Akaza. With the help of the precog compass provides him, Akaza is able to match marked Giyu's speed. It is obvious that the reaction speed increase is due to Compass working harder to fight Giyu with his raised fighting spirit, giving Akaza more predictive power to react to faster attacks. It is not a natural increase in his physical speed since Compass doesn't do that. So we know that Akaza was not holding back on his natural speed and just increased it against marked Giyu. This is also proven by the fact that Akaza, without Compass, was getting hit by Tanjiro, who was later being bodied by Compass-enabled Akaza. So all in all, we can definitively state that Marked Giyu is relative to Akaza by all means.

And yet, what everyone says is true. Akaza was playing around with Giyu, just because of the fact that Giyu cannot surpass the speed threshold that can bypass Compass, making Akaza always adapt to Giyu's speed. Giyu's peak was matched. Akaza knew it and was just having fun with the fight, curious to see how much Giyu could entertain him, since Akaza loves strong opponents as long as he is sure he can win. He had afterglow in his back pocket and could spam it any time, or any other BDA for that matter. How long can Giyu truly defend if Akaza has infinite stamina?

This is why a relative demon's victory is always assured, and they will always be playing with the slayer that can't outspeed them, even if their peak speed is very similar. So, we should not scale a slayer's capabilities necessarily by whether they lost a fight with a demon. We should scale them more by how much they can survive a demon not holding back on their BDA or physical power in the fight.

TLDR: human vs human with similar stats = extreme diff either side. Human vs demon with similar stats = mid or mid-high diff. That is the reality of DS match ups

yeah is is cooked

Kokoshibo: They Need Gyomei For this one. They all loss. But if they had Gyomei. 5 hashiras are enough.

Douma: Two Hashiras would destroy Douma. A Marked + STW + RedBlade Obanai working with a Marked + STW + RedBlade + MST Tengoon would blitz the fuck out of Douma.

Akaza & the rest of the Uppermoon demons: One Hashira with Mark + STW + Red Blade Is enough so Giyuu would be leagues above Akaza in speed with STW and every hit with red blade would render Akaza’s regen useless. As the burning rage of red blade would fuck up Akaza’s regen. And would subject him to immense pain.

Hantengu. Since The Hashiras have STW now they can basically multitask with finding the main body and fighting Zohakuten. Since they have red blade now they basically slow down Zohaukten’s regen and kill the main body.

Gyokko: Lmao, Any marked Hashira is making him a sushi no need for STW

Gyutaro & Daki:…… Marked Hashiras are no diffing their bottom feeder ahhh.
