The fourth season of Demon Slayer brought the Hashira back to the center of the narrative, this time in the role of mentors of the new generation of hunters to best prepare themselves against the Moons in Muzan’s service. After seeing the personal details of the protagonists, let’s find out more about the age of the Nine Pillars.
Let’s start with the youngest: Muichiro Tokito, Hashira of the Mist, a true prodigy who received the title of Pillar at the age of 14. Just to get an idea of his preparation and talent, just think that he is smaller than the protagonist Tanjiro and reached his position after just two months of training. We get to Shinobu Kocho, Insect Pillarwho at the age of 18 already harbors an immense hatred towards demons and has developed a unique and versatile fighting style.
It’s the turn of a couple of nineteen year olds among the ranks of the Hashira: Giyu Tomioka of Water and Mitsuri Kanroji of Love. Giyu is one of the first Pillars encountered by the protagonist and stands out for her incredible preparation and skill on the battlefield, while Kanroji is recognized for having studied an innovative and very powerful type of breathing, useful for making her express unparalleled ferocity against the demons.
We continue with one of the Hashira most appreciated by the community: Kyojuro Rengoku. The Pillar of Flame managed to move us because of his past, his singular family situation, and his sacrifice in the Mugen Train saga, still demonstrating extraordinary skills against Akaza despite being just 20 years old. We arrive at another couple, this time twenty-one year olds, namely Obanai Iguro and Sanemi Shinazugawa,Hashira of the Serpent and the Wind respectively. While Obanai proves to be cold and a skilled calculator, careful to respect the code of the Demon Slayer Corps, Sanemi is much more impulsive and brutal in the fight against demons.
We then find Tengen Uzui, 23 year old Hashira of Sound who we learned about during the arc set in the red light district, during which he asked Tanjiro and his companions for help to face the Sixth Crescent Moon, made up of the brothers Daki and Gyutaro. Finally, we come to Gyomei Himejima, 26 year old Stone Pillarextremely spiritual and kind despite his considerable size, he is 2 meters and 20 centimeters tall, and respectful towards his friends, companions and the young Ubuyashiki who leads the Corps.
Finally, here are the hypotheses on when the truth about Zenitsu will be revealed in the fourth season of Demon Slayer.
