Demon Slayer viewers usually rank the characters as follows: from Shinobu to Gyomei, with Insect Breathing the weakest and Stone Breathing the strongest.
Shinobu fans don't accept the argument of the girl's inability to kill Twelve Demon Moons.
Some fans decide to take a middle position and say that each Hashira has its own strengths and weaknesses, so it is wrong to compare them.
Demon Slayer universe is amazing with the number of outstanding fighters, among whom the Hashiras are particularly powerful. They are all seen as very strong heroes whose will to win can be envied. But recently fans have been wondering who the weakest fighter in the squad is. Let's see who Demon Slayer fans consider not strong enough against the rest and what criteria they use to judge them.
Does Shinobu have any chance?
Demon Slayer audiences usually rank the characters as follows: from Shinobu to Gyomei, with Insect Breathing the weakest and Stone Breathing the strongest. And perhaps the most common answer to the question of who is the weakest, much to the disappointment of Shinobu fans, is exactly her. This is not surprising, as it has been stated many times in the manga and anime that she is weak and the explanation is that the girl can't cut the necks of high class demons due to her lack of physical strength. But fans don't stop defending her, saying that physical ability doesn't determine strength level. And if we compare by other criteria, including speed and high intelligence, the girl can compete with other Hashiras.
Shinobu fans do not accept the argument of the girl's inability to kill Twelve Demon Moons. They recall that Hashira was able to stab Douma in the neck and the fact that this strong demon admitted he could not keep up with Shinobu's speed. Moreover, the girl wasn't the only Hashira who couldn't kill a high class demon. The other one was Tengen. By the way, the most common choice is exactly between these characters, answering the question about the weakest warrior.
Could Tengen be the weakest?
The most common argument for Tengen's weakness is that he retires very early, exactly after the Entertainment District Arc. He doesn't have time to reveal himself as a warrior and stops actively improving his strength. Comparing the abilities of the two characters, fans note that in terms of physical ability, Shinobu is the weakest, but Tengen is far inferior in combat power. Tengen is said to have a relatively low intelligence, which can make him look less impressive in battle. Shinobu, on the other hand, has the best fighting knowledge and was able to prove it in the battle with Douma.
Some fans decide to take a middle position and say that each Hashira has its own strengths and weaknesses, so it is wrong to compare them. It all depends ultimately on what criteria to judge by. It could be physical strength, intelligence, speed, fighting skills and even experience. And each will be better in some ways and weaker in others, so it's not easy to say for sure which Hashira is the weakest.
Strength is not measured by physical ability.
