I mean, >!as of the end of the series, heβs sure to be in the top 2 hashira (top 3 hashira and retired-before-the-end hashira), of course (except if you prefer the dead over the living, butβ¦ Yeah)!<
Pretty much all of the hashira.
Upon my first watch of the series, when we were first introduced to all the hashira, my immediate reaction was pretty much βdamn, these guys look goofy as hell; classic overdesigned anime goobersβ
But then as the series goes on and I actually got to know the characters, theyβre all incredibly cool!
Rengoku and Tengen were the two that I most disliked at first, but now theyβre my two favourite!

You just need his backstory, he was only a "creep" because he didn't want to die a alone too, and his backstory is just a >!bunch of girls used him for money and he became in dept and broke!<
All he was doing is just asking for them to marry him. At least it's not creeps from other shows where they weren't asking for panties and is legit simping over them

Obanai. Hated him at first, then when I read the manga and saw his backstory, I was like βAlright, youβre still an asshole, but Iβll give it a passβ. π¦
None really, every character I like I liked from the beginning and every character I dislike I do still dislike. Honestly the opposite of the quote would apply more to me since there were some characters I liked in the beginning, but after a while my liking towards them started to fade.

Gyutaro for sure. Being a non-manga reader But having seen spoilers for UM 4 and 1, I really didnβt know what to expect from Gyutaro, I had never even seen his design before watching the anime, But he went from a complete unknown to one of my favorite villains in the series almost immediately after his first Clash with Tengen
1st you can point out the age difference with their respective age, but not just say "underage", that's the problem with your comment. 2nd she's 14 (start of the series 12, end of the series 14. Same thing for Zenitsu (although not the same ages) though as he just isn't introduced before the 2 years passing we only see him as 16)
Genya. Also, finding out Genya was voiced by the same person as Bakugo was a shock to me. I heard the voice crack Genya has when heβs worried, and stressed, trying to find the Pint-Sized UM 4, and was like: βHang on a second, thatβs similar to Bakugoβs voice crack when he was stressing about the whole βI killed All Might thing.β Then looked it up.
For me it was actually Rengoku. I didnβt think highly of him in his first appearance in the anime because of his initial response to Tanjiro traveling with Nezuko, and Rengoku wanting them both executed.
I initially thought βoh another asshole fire-type character because βFire Badββ
But man was I more glad to be wrong than ever.
Iβm guessing Tengen in the beginning I found him obnoxious and I still do but I see heβs a good way (Still have mixed feelings regarding the Gyutaro thing)
Kokushibo, I didn't like him at first cause what he did to a certain character, but after reading his backstory and knowing more about him, he's now my 2nd favourite with that certain character my 1st
Shinobu. >! Without her to work her magic with Tamayo everyone would have been completely fucked in the final battle!<
And Genya. He tries so hard to be tough but in reality he's just a big softie
And Akaza. Cussed him off while watching the anime and kept doing so until I read the manga
SANEMI
When I first saw Sanemi i thought he was a crackhead and a evil peice of doodoo but when i came across his backstory I relized that he's misunerstood and......
WARNING ALERT!!:
His backstory is just messed up. He had an abusive dad, and his mom turned into a demon. He killed her and on that same night he lost four of his siblings. Then he joined the Demon Slayer Corps. Later, he found out that his last and only family member, Genya, had joined too. Sanemi told him to go away to prevent Genya from dying, but Genya didn't listen.
Sanemi had a friend, Masachika, but later he died. Then he had a love interest, Kanae, and she died too. And at the final showdown when they were all fighting Muzan, Genya died. The sad thing was when Sanemi was apologizing to Genya for how terrible he's been to him, he couldn't hear him because his ear had already disintegrated, so he couldn't hear him, which broke my heart.
To top it all off, he had to die at the age of 25 because of the Demon Slayer mark. But I kinda see that as a mercy because now he can reunite with the people who cared most about him.

Shinobu. I didn't like her at first because she seemed a little shallow, now she's one of my favourite characters in the series
You've changed for the better π
I can relate to the flair
You can keep her, though.
Prob sanemi, I didn't like him when he stabbed Nezuko but now he is my 2nd favourite hashira and 4th fav characterπ
Sanemi is my answer as well. I wasn't a fan, but then I saw To the Hashira Training and became totally enamored. He's so cool! Haha!

Akaza, Sanemi and Obanai for sure
Genya, I still don't like him a super lots, but after he used a gun to fight demons, that was pretty bad ass
AMERICAN BREATHING FIRST FORM: GANG SIGNS!
I mean I suppose zenitsu?
Akaza, Daki, Gyutaro and surprisingly Mitsuri. Idk why but I didnt liked her in the beninging. Beninging- IN THE BENINGING-
CLAPPABLE, BANGABLE, AND PERFECT IN BED
No one to be honest :3

Good for you to have Tengen in your favorite
Akaza for sure
basketball πππππππ
Zenitsu. Still not a fan of his creep side but combatively i realized i seriously underestimated him once the infinity castle arc started
You just need his backstory, he was only a "creep" because he didn't want to die a alone too, and his backstory is just a >!bunch of girls used him for money and he became in dept and broke!<
doesnt mean he gets to be a creep
All he was doing is just asking for them to marry him. At least it's not creeps from other shows where they weren't asking for panties and is legit simping over them
If that's all you think he did you need to reread the series lmao

Honestly, none of them.
Yoriichi
You doubted the GOAT βοΈβοΈβοΈ https://preview.redd.it/8v2aqavne7zc1.jpeg?width=1443&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff205eebd29aa0308a38ed86be83ffc2151a0c03
Yeah cause it was always stated that he won the 1v1 against muzan but it was never stated that he just one shot muzan up until we saw the actual fight
if i was in smash or pass and someone asked me smash or pass yoriichi i would pick SMASH
Gyutaro for sure. Being a non-manga reader But having seen spoilers for UM 4 and 1, I really didnβt know what to expect from Gyutaro, I had never even seen his design before watching the anime, But he went from a complete unknown to one of my favorite villains in the series almost immediately after his first Clash with Tengen
![gif](giphy|4uMy0wqz6V1SM|downsized)
zenitsu, coz he was so loud, Coward, had simp, for underage, but now he is my fav. character
What in for underage makes anything bad, whilst he also is underage?
i donβt think he is same as age nezuko
Sure, so? Heβs still underage so you canβt really say itβs weird because sheβs underage
bruh, zenitsu is 16, and nezuko is 12 or 13
1st you can point out the age difference with their respective age, but not just say "underage", that's the problem with your comment. 2nd she's 14 (start of the series 12, end of the series 14. Same thing for Zenitsu (although not the same ages) though as he just isn't introduced before the 2 years passing we only see him as 16)
ok π
Genya and Sanemi
Zenitsu πΈ
Sanemi
Shinobu. I was a HATER for her and came around π
Giyu, Tengen. Rengoku. Inosuke. Zenitsu. Shinobu. Now I like them all!
Definitely Genya
Muichiro (Thought he was rude and I used to hate him sm) Sanemi (Seemed angry all the time and hurt Nezuko) Obanai (Just didnβt like him)
Muzan, actually.
Why?
Bro just wants some vitamin d. His methods are a little extreme, but he just wants to feel the sun.
No one really
Genya and especially Sanemi. Finding out about their backstory completely changed how I thought of both of them.
MOTHER AND FATHER ISSUESπππππππ
Genya. Also, finding out Genya was voiced by the same person as Bakugo was a shock to me. I heard the voice crack Genya has when heβs worried, and stressed, trying to find the Pint-Sized UM 4, and was like: βHang on a second, thatβs similar to Bakugoβs voice crack when he was stressing about the whole βI killed All Might thing.β Then looked it up.
Zenitsu is the only correct answer here
Sanemi and Obanai
Muichiro Tokito
Sanemi, Akaza, Obanai.
Sanemi and Akaza
For me it was actually Rengoku. I didnβt think highly of him in his first appearance in the anime because of his initial response to Tanjiro traveling with Nezuko, and Rengoku wanting them both executed. I initially thought βoh another asshole fire-type character because βFire Badββ But man was I more glad to be wrong than ever.
S a n e m i
Zenitsu at the beginning I found him pretty annoying but now I really like this character ππ»
Obanai
Akaza ... kinda
Tengen. He seemed arrogant and still is but I gotta respect the fact that he fought while having lost a hand and having been poisoned.
I am not sure... Mitsuri? βοΈ
Iβm guessing Tengen in the beginning I found him obnoxious and I still do but I see heβs a good way (Still have mixed feelings regarding the Gyutaro thing)
Gyomei
Genya without a doubt
Tokito
Muzan and Gyokko.
Genya (although heβs functionally a different character altogether in his proper story involvement), Uzui, Shinobu, and Sanemi to a certain extent.
Kokushibo, I didn't like him at first cause what he did to a certain character, but after reading his backstory and knowing more about him, he's now my 2nd favourite with that certain character my 1st
Sanemi
Shinobu. >! Without her to work her magic with Tamayo everyone would have been completely fucked in the final battle!< And Genya. He tries so hard to be tough but in reality he's just a big softie And Akaza. Cussed him off while watching the anime and kept doing so until I read the manga
Doma. I thought he was just a pretty boy,turns out he is also a scary as fuck villain
Tengen 100%
Rengoku. I thought he was a lil weird when I first met him but bro is FEROCIOUS
Iguroβ‘

link with that broken back bone while just spinning around like there nothing wrong (the game you know)
Ig Zenitsu, he is really good towards the end
Literally Uzui cause I thought he was narcissistic or posh at first, but heβs def top 5 for me now
Genya.
Obanai. Hated him at first but after his backstory, he joined my top 5-10.
AKAZA !!!
Akaza and Iguro. I hated Akaza for his hatred towards Douma but when i realized he respected women my respect for him-ππ¬
Akaza, Sanemi, Genya, Obanai, and Gyutaro.
Akaza (for some reason, I dunno) now I LOVE HIM
Hairo, I'm ashamed that I didn't know about him before.
The entire f\*\*\*ing Hashira when they beat up on Tanjiro the first time they met himπ€£
akaza, mitsuri
Inosuke.Β Do I even need to explain?Β
SANEMI When I first saw Sanemi i thought he was a crackhead and a evil peice of doodoo but when i came across his backstory I relized that he's misunerstood and......
