One of the
strongest candidates for ANIME OF THE YEAR title this 2019 – DEMON SLAYER:
KIMETSU NO YAIBA shows no sign of stopping in giving big surprises to its avid
viewers and followers as THE PILLARS finally make their debut appearance in the
anime series.
Known as the
strongest members and hold the highest positions in the Demon Killing Corps,
the Hashira or The Pillars were among the most highly anticipated characters by
the manga readers to appear in the anime adaptation of Koyoharu Gotōge popular
shounen manga series Kimetsu no Yaiba. With only 5 more episodes left of Demon
Slayer anime series, The Pillars were finally introduced and the cast members
for each of them had been revealed in a short teaser video as an introduction
to the new characters in the anime.
Now, that they had been introduced, anime viewers may have this question of who is the strongest member of hashira (pillars) from Kimetsu no Yaiba? Alright, the answer is no other than the Stone Pillar: Gyōmei Himejima who is the strongest pillar of Demon Hunters Corp. Nonetheless, the other members are also strong enough to stand on their own against members of 12 Kizuki - Muzan Kibutsuji's strongest demons. Though, I won't spill the beans any deeper here since it might spoil some people here.

The anime had
been one of the most stunning and highly praised by anime community and viewers
since its premiered last April 6, 2019. It even reached that ravaging
phenomenal peak when its 19th episode had been one of the most
talked-about anime topics on the internet 3 weeks ago. Demon Slayer also
finished as runner-up in our first ever Spring 2019 Anime Award at Yu Alexius
Anime Portal, just tailing behind Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2 with a very
small margin.
Demon Slayer:
Kimetsu no Yaiba Synopsis
Tanjiro Kamado
is a kindhearted and intelligent boy who lives with his family, making money by
selling charcoal. Everything changes when his family is attacked and
slaughtered by demons (oni). Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko are the sole
survivors of the incident. Nezuko is now a demon, but still surprisingly shows
signs of human emotion and thought. Tanjiro becomes a demon slayer to help his
sister turn human again and to avenge the loss of his family.
Demon Slayer had
been scheduled for 26 episode-run and upon writing, the anime will air its 22nd
episode this week where the main protagonist Tanjirou Kamado will be dealt by
the Pillars about the fate of his sister Nezuko.

Hence, we should
all look forward to how Demon Slayer will conclude this chapter of its story in
the anime. I am also looking forward to a possible 2nd season of the
anime series although, it wasn’t announced yet but with so many chapters left
in the source material, we still have plenty of materials that could be adapted
into anime and with the success and popularity of the show, I am hoping that
the production team will consider making Demon Slayer anime season 2 soon.
Nonetheless, we might get some words about that soon once the anime reached its
denouement in the next few weeks. In regards to the Pillars, please let us know
which of them your favorite is by leaving a comment below.
