Becoming Giyu Tomioka: Mastering the Tranquil Warrior

A major protagonist in the show Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, is Giyu Tomioka. He is a part of the Demon Slayer Corps, an organization working to protect humanity from demons and also holds one of the highest ranks, Water Hashira. Hashira are the most powerful and adept Demon Slayers, each specialized in a distinct breathing style and element. Giyu Tomioka possesses the Water Hashira level, indicating that he is an expert in the Water Breathing technique, which emphasizes fluid, precise motions and techniques. As a Hashira, Giyu is one of the Corps’ most powerful and recognized Demon Slayers, responsible for directing and educating lower-ranking soldiers while also confronting powerful demons to safeguard humanity.

Giyu was the one who aided Tanjiro Kamado while he was training to become a Demon Slayer. He purposely provoked Tanjiro to help him find the cure to his sister Nezuko being turned into a demon, and become a demon slayer.

Apart from being a master of the Water Hashira, Giyu also possesses enhanced physical abilities. His strength and speed is unmatched which makes him one of the best demon slayers. He is also an expert in combat, analyzing his opponent and adjusting his fighting style according to the opponent’s weaknesses.
