In Demon Slayer, Members who passed the Final Selection Exam.

The Demon Slayer (or Kimetsu No Yaiba) universe is full of incredibly powerful characters. Following the story of Kamado Tannjiro, a boy who decides to slay demons after they kill his family and transform his sister into a demon, the popular manga series soon introduced readers to the powerful Slayers of the Demon Slayer Corps as well as some insanely tough demons.

Demon Slayer is full of unforgettable and strongest characters. Ufotable has constantly been a great source of some of the best-animated shows around, and one need only look at the visual fidelity of Demon Slayer to understand why this is the case. The anime became an instant hit upon release due to its beautiful animation — a constant aspect of the show that managed to elevate its source material and make it a rage worldwide. The battles of Demon Slayer are absolutely beautiful to behold due to the sheer level of painstaking effort put into every one of its scenes.

Of course, the battles are just one of the many excellent parts of Demon Slayer — one has to admit that the characters of the show have also proven to be quite entertaining in their own right, with each character arc being quite promising and entertaining in more ways than one.

5. Inosuke Hashibira

One of Tanjiro’s new allies whose fighting style is nothing short of animalistic — quite literally — Inosuke’s character certainly seems like an interesting one, and fans can’t wait to see what’s in store for this character.

He might act quite brash and uncouth at times, but there’s no denying that his tough exterior definitely hides a rather soft spot for his friends and the lengths he will go to ensure that no harm befalls them.

4. Zenitsu Agatsuma

Zenitsu is easily one of the most unpredictable characters on the entire show, initially coming off as nothing more than a run-of-the-mill comic relief character… before showing the sheer incredible nature of his breathing technique — specifically, the one technique that he’s mastered to a T. The fact that his combat skills truly come to the forefront after he passes out is a testament to just how much his unconscious has been trained to deal with these massive threats.

Zenitsu possesses incredible willpower and the spirit to kill Demons. This was displayed in the Sunrise Countdown Arc where, despite usually being a coward, he has shown incredible will, never giving up even in the face of Muzan Kibutsuji.

3. Genya Shinazugawa

Out of all the Demon Slayers that have been introduced in the series, it’s Genya who serves as one of the more unique fighters… especially given the fact that he can’t even breathe correctly in the first place!

Instead, Genya attains his power by eating the flesh of demons, allowing him to toe the line between humanity and the demon world to become a hybrid fighter who has a ton of potential in the series.

2. Kanao Tsuyuri

Kanao’s introduction to the world of Demon Slayer was a notable one, and it’s clear that her bond with Tanjiro is going to be explored quite heavily later on in the series. Her character already has a ton of mystery and intrigue attached to it, which already makes her a right fit for the landscape of Demon Slayer and the unique yet obtuse themes that lie within.

For most of her life, Kanao was an emotionless husk who couldn’t think independently due to her harsh upbringing. Kanao’s emotional state began to change when she met Tanjiro Kamado, a fellow Demon Slayer who convinced her to live her life according to her heart.

1. Tanjiro Kamado

The sheer level of tragedy that Tanjiro experienced after his entire family was murdered by demons — save for Nezuko herself — is nothing short of heartbreaking, instantly turning this character into a sympathetic figure and a near-perfect protagonist in the eyes of fans.

From the incredible fights that he’s already been a part of Demon Slayer to the dormant potential that lies within him — it’s clear that Tanjiro is definitely slated for greater things, and one can only hope that he and his sister end up living the life they deserved before tragedy struck their family.

Where other Slayers have mastered a single fighting style, Tanjiro utilizes two – the Water Breathing Style and later the Dance of the Fire God. Tanjiro’s Dance of the Fire God is a breathing technique unique to the Kamado family, giving him an extra edge in battle.
