Her powers are invaluable to Muzan and his missionary work . Nakime sure deserve more clock time in the spot to show off her skills and personality though , because she is more than one of Muzan ’s partner in crime .

Nakime is one of the quietest and most hold demon , so she often immix into the ground around larger personalities like Doma or Akaza . She is not any less interesting than her fellow Upper Rank demon though , and own one of the cool set of magnate inDemon Slayer . Nakime was ultimately kill by Muzanhimself though , take her out of the level before viewers could learn everything about the puzzling daimon .

Even after his dying , Yoriichi offers divine guidance to Tanjiro and other demon slayer who crusade to avenge his last at the hand of the demon , Kokushibo , who was actually his brother .

6Mitsuri Kanroji

Mitsuri’s Joy Is Infectious and Just What Is Needed To Brighten Up Demon Slayer’s Oftentimes Dark Premise

Mitsuri Kanroji , the Love Hashira , is among the bubbliest and kindest ofDemon Slayer’sHashira , with a radiant joy for liveliness that is infective to everyone she meet . She is not just a upbeat heroine though , Mitsuri possesses eight multiplication the brawniness forcefulness of an average person , making her up to of cutting down even the most dangerous demons .

Demon Slayer ’s iconic Love Hashira , Mitsuri , is one of the series ' most interesting characters , and there are many little - known facts about her .

She play a reasonably satisfying role in the To the Swordsmith Village arc , where her yesteryear was revealed , but these scenes only made fans crave more of her presence . Her positiveness and charisma are much needed in a serial publication that contains so many doom and gloom scenesof death and despair , and viewers would certainly smile a deal more while watchingDemon Slayerif the series include a lot more iconic Mitsuri moment .

5Gyomei Himejima

As the Strongest Hashira, Gyomei Should Have Received More Growth and Time in the Spotlight

Gyomei Himejima was confirmed to be thestrongest of all ofDemon Slayer’sHashira , but he is also the most humble , despite being so overwhelm . Like so many other characters , Gyomei ’s past was very difficult , but he made a name for himself despite the heartbreaking fortune and terrorise demon brush . He is less outspoken compared to other daimon slayer , but in so many state of affairs , Gyomei ’s brave actions talk louder than his row ever could .

His feats of posture , like crowd a massive boulder as if it weighs nothing , are some of the most impressive scenes in the total series , andmore of these moments would have been a true delicacy to witness . Gyomei receives less character development than some of the other Hashira , but as the strongest , his lack of screentime is a missed luck .

4All Three Kocho Sisters (Kanae, Kanao, Shinobu)

The Iconic Sister Trio Possess Strengths That Should Have Been Showcased Before Their Battle With Doma

These three sisters were unfortunately pulled apart by heartwrenching disaster when the oldest sibling , Kanae , was kill by Doma , the Upper Rank Two ogre , pull up stakes the other two sisters to retaliate her death . Kanae died beforeDemon Slayereven began , which caused her to receive very little screentime .

The other two Kocho sisters also too often fleet into the background , since Kanao is fairly hold and not a Hashira , and Shinobu spends much of her prison term concoct a deadly poison to vote down Muzan rather than suffer at the cutting edge of fiend battles like her fellow Hashira . All three sisters are interesting , with their own classifiable strengths and talents that have earned them place in the Demon Slayer Corps , so it would have been extremely fascinating to see not only the sleep with adhesion between the sis , but all of their strength on an individual level . TheInfinity Castle fight between Doma , Kanao , Shinobu , and Inosuke is one of the series ' most exciting fight , but it also make witness wish these iconic sisters had more growth before this pivotal panorama .

3Doma

Doma Does Not Play a Major Role Until Very Late in Demon Slayer, Even Though He’s One of the Best Villains

Doma is one of the most underrated of the Twelve Kizuki , because his magnetic attitude sometimes do viewers to overlook how truly twisted and sinful of a grapheme he is . As a cult leader , Doma is an expert at appear friendly and respectable , but once he tempt devoid follower into his trap , he go through them before they have a chance of get off . He isone of the most powerful Upper Rank demons , but alas , he does not look in the story much until the final few arcs .

Doma was introduced briefly in an earlier season of the anime , but he does not play a major part until almost the ending ofDemon Slayer . From his intimidating line Demon Art to his deceptively silly personality that mask his true evil nature , there are so many aspects of Doma ’s character that should be explored more . Although he is one of the last arc ’s best villains , Doma should have asterisk in even more chapter ofDemon Slayer .

2Akaza

Akaza Is One of the Stars of the Mugen Train Arc, Proving Why He Deserves a More Prominent Role in the Story

Akaza is different from the other Upper Rank demons in a mess of way , and this makes him unequaled . He never want to be a demon and , despite becoming evil and murderous , he has rigid rules for himself that no other monster follow , such as not killing women . Histragic backstory of loss and sufferingexplains some of these nonplus prospect of his personality , and in another life , perhaps Akaza would have been a grinder alternatively .

Akaza is most deserving of Tanjiro ’s piousness due to his morals , devastating past times , and the fact that he was never sincerely evil .

Through his battle with Rengoku and his irritated interaction with Doma , it is obvious that Akaza is a dynamic , alive fibre . He is one of the superstar of the iconic Mugen Train electric discharge , and that segment of the narrative would not be most as awe-inspiring without his role in the climactic battle . Every scene Akaza is in becomes more tense and care - grabbing immediately , andDemon Slayerwould surely be more thrilling if the Upper Rank Three demon played a more prominent role .
