Yoriichi Tsugikuni was a legendary swordsman who left future generations the best and strongest weapon to defeat demons in Demon Slayer. He blessed his successors with Sun Breathing, a highly effective breathing style that later demon slayers used against the countless terrifying monsters they came across in their travels.
While Yoriichi has long since died in Demon Slayer due to old age, his rank among the strongest characters in the series remains untouched. However, many demons and slayers alike have developed their skills and abilities to such an extent that even Yoriichi’s level of power no longer seems completely unattainable.

Muichiro Tokito Was a Prodigy Like Yoriichi
Muichiro Tokito is a demon slayer prodigy with complete mastery over Mist Breathing. He is the youngest swordsman to ever reach Hashira status in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps, even without years of demon-slaying experience under his belt. He simply picked up a Nichirin blade and mastered the art of Mist Breathing at an astonishing rate.
Even Tanjiro admits that Muichiro is a genius, having witnessed the Mist Breather’s fight against Yoriichi Type Zero in the Swordsmith Village. True enough, Muichiro nearly destroyed Yoriichi Type Zero with ease, matching every strike from the mechanical puppet inspired by Yoriichi Tsugikuni before disposing of it.

Akaza Was Nearly as Unstoppable as Yoriichi
Akaza served Muzan Kibutsuji as his Upper Moon 3 for most of Demon Slayer‘s story. He was an exceptional martial arts practitioner, specializing in the Soryu style, which he amplified with the Blood Demon Art, Destructive Death. As a result, Akaza rarely left demon slayers alive, even adding the powerful Rengoku Kyojuro to his list of victims.
Much like Yoriichi, Akaza was an unstoppable fighter. He constantly evolved mid-battle, adapting to his opponent’s fighting style, habits, fighting spirit, and even killing intent. If it weren’t for his decision to stop regenerating, Akaza would have lived much longer in the Infinity Castle Arc, taking on Tanjiro and Giyuu until he killed them both.

Gyomei Himejima Pushed Human Limits Like Yoriichi
The strongest Hashira in Demon Slayer is the Stone Breather, Gyomei Himejima, himself. Despite his disability, Gyomei outclassed his fellow Hashira in strength, thus earning the respect and admiration of every demon slayer in the organization. Unlike most demon slayers, Gyomei fights with a deadly flail and axe connected by a chain. He wields them to such an extent that they move as though they were extensions of his own body.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki was only right to entrust the Demon Slayer Corps to Gyomei the most, since the Stone Breather mirrors Yoriichi’s sound and rational mind, in addition to the legendary swordsman’s high-level breathing techniques. Gyomei also awakened the demon slayer mark, bringing him closer to Yoriichi’s power level than the others.

Doma’s Techniques Were Every Bit as Refined as Yoriichi’s
Stripping Akaza of the Upper Moon 2 title was one of Doma’s impressive feats in Demon Slayer. He may not be a martial arts practitioner like Akaza, but his cryokinesis and mastery over Tessenjutsu ultimately outclassed the former Upper Moon 2. That’s not all, as Doma has a way with words, using his manipulative nature to provoke or psychologically dismantle his opponents.
Doma has one of the most ruthless killing methods in the series, as he delights in the pain and suffering of his victims. He also takes pleasure in mocking his opponents, exploiting their insecurities and emotional vulnerabilities to break their resolve before ultimately killing them.

Kokushibo Was Yoriichi’s Greatest Rival
Kokushibo takes immense pride in his position as Upper Moon 1 within Muzan Kibutsuji’s demon army. He is second only to Muzan in power, making him one of the most dangerous demons residing in the Infinity Castle. On top of wielding a modified Nichirin sword, Kokushibo also possesses a demon slayer mark, which further multiplies the strength of his Moon Breathing and its techniques.
When Kokushibo still goes by the name of Mitchikatsu Tsugikuni, his power level pales in comparison to Yoriichi, his younger brother. His demonic transformation, however, narrowed the gap between himself and Yoriichi, but he was still no match for the legendary swordsman in his prime.

Muzan Kibutsuji Was Yoriichi’s Strongest Enemy
Muzan Kibutsuji is the most powerful demon who stands in the way of the Demon Slayer Corps throughout the series. As the Demon King, Muzan has a near-immortal body that regenerates instantly, blood that turns humans into demons, and biokinesis that transforms his body at will.
Among the demons that Yoriichi encountered in his lifetime, Muzan was one of the only two demons that survived. Muzan was powerful enough to withstand Yoriichi’s deadly strikes in their lone confrontation, yet the experience haunted him for years. As a result, Muzan wiped out potential Sun Breathing users, except for Tanjiro.

Tanjiro Was the Best Sun Breather Since Yoriichi
Tanjiro Kamado is Demon Slayer‘s main character, and his goal has been to kill Muzan Kibutsuji since the series started. He had complete mastery of Water Breathing and its techniques and later became the last surviving user of Sun Breathing, which Yoriichi used when he was alive.
Much like Yoriichi, slaying demons came naturally to Tanjiro. During his long journey to turn Nezuko back into her normal self, Tanjiro awakened the demon slayer mark, attained the Selfless State, and learned the Transparent World. Armed with these high-level techniques, Tanjiro could easily pass as Yoriichi’s second coming.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
