Hashira powers or demon abilities: which requires more training?
As it goes with almost everything in life, hard work is the key to success. And this, of course, also applies to the world of Demon Slayer.
Twelve Kizuki (or Twelve Demon Moons) are the most powerful demons in the series and they're divided into two groups: lower ranks and upper ranks, with the latter being the strongest. But do they have to train hard to become the Upper Moons, or is it pure luck?
When asked this question, fans almost simultaneously say that they don't have to undergo any special training. The blood of their leader, Muzan, already gives them incredible power.
However, fans add that it's not the case with all of the upper rank demons. They distinguish Akaza and Kokushibo from the list of Upper Moons, saying that these two have trained harder than any of the Hashira ever have.
Despite that being true, we cannot forget that their training was done when they were humans, which technically means that they were not the Moons yet at that moment. Once they're demons, the only way to increase their power is to eat humans. Still, we can't know for sure whether Akaza and Kokushibo would have such high ranks if it wasn't for their hard work prior to becoming the Upper Moons.
Hashira are the most skilled demon slayers. They train their whole lives to possess the ability to fight demons. Hashira are only humans, they have their fighting styles that help them deal with the demons, which also take time to develop and practice. Since they don't possess inhuman strength like the Upper Moons, all they have is training and discipline.
Unlike demons, Hashira don't have infinite regeneration and stamina, each mistake they make may cost them their lives, which makes their training so important and necessary, and increases the importance of self-defense.
Upper Moons have blood demon arts, while the Hashira have breathing styles. Both of these techniques require practicing but it looks like demons once again have it easier than humans. Unlike blood demon arts, breathing styles call for extreme concentration and they affect the human body.
Another thing fans notice is that becoming an upper rank demon is something that can happen almost instantly, while there are no shortcuts to becoming a Hashira: it's done exclusively through hard training and constant practice.
Considering that demons are already more powerful than humans just because of their nature, we can say that Hashira require taking more effort to survive in the fight against the Upper Moons.
