Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has taken the anime world by storm with its stunning visuals, gripping story, and unforgettable characters. Among the long list of mighty warriors and demons, some characters stand out due to their exceptional strength and abilities. Whether they are in fierce battles against demons or concocting evil plans, these ten characters make up the most powerful forces across the Demon Slayer.
10 strongest characters in Demon Slayer:
1. Yoriichi Tsugikuni
Yoriichi Tsugikuni is the stuff of legend. He is the strongest Demon Slayer to have lived, a man feared even by the most powerful demons.
Yoriichi created the Breath of the Sun, which pioneered all other breathing styles, setting him apart from the other characters. His encounter with Muzan Kibutsuji left the king of demons trembling; no other slayer has managed this. His strength, speed, and technique are inhuman, making him the greatest Demon Slayer of all time.
2. Muzan Kibutsuji
The big bad of this series is Muzan Kibutsuji, who happens to be the original demon and, therefore, the root of all evils. As the first demon to ever exist, he basically has unmatched powers. He holds great strength, speed, and regeneration abilities. Along with that, he also possesses many dangerous techniques in his arsenal.
Muzan's ability to transform his body into monstrous forms and his cunning intelligence makes Muzan a terrifying opponent. His influence and control over other demons further solidifies his position as one of the most powerful characters in the series.

3. Tanjiro Kamado
Our protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, might have started off as a regular boy who sells charcoal, but his life story was anything but ordinary. Having the incredible sense of smell and undying determination, he masters the Water Breathing techniques and later the Dance of the Fire God, an abstract technique derived from Breath of the Sun.
It is precisely his kind heart and fighting spirit that make him one of the most powerful characters in the show, who would do anything to protect his loved ones and fight for justice.
4. Kokushibo
Kokushibo, the best and highest ranked of the Twelve Kizuki, is one of the most complex characters in Demon Slayer. As a former Demon Slayer who turned into a demon, he retains the mastery of his Moon Breathing techniques.
