Are you ready to push your limits, test your mettle, and emerge as a warrior worthy of facing the Muzan menace? Think twice, for this is no walk in the park – it’s a boot camp from hell orchestrated by the elite Hashira themselves in the Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc.
Each Hashira, a pillar of strength and skill, oversees a distinct training ground, each designed to hone a specific aspect of a demon slayer’s abilities. But before we delve into the depths of this masochistic masterpiece, let’s address the elephant in the room: This. Is. Hard. Like, “training under a demon overlord” is hard. Most slayers tremble at the mere mention of the Hashira, let alone their brutal training methods. But fear not, for within this crucible of pain lies the potential to forge true warriors.
The Hardest Hashira Training Ground – Unparalleled Hellish Training
Before we make any judgments here, let’s go through all the hellish training experience the young demon slayers will have to go through during the Hashira Training Arc, upcoming in 2024.
-
Stamina Symphony with Tengen Uzui: Buckle up, slayers, for Tengen’s training is a high-tempo sprint through your limitations. Think endless laps at breakneck speed, fueled by his booming voice and flamboyant personality. Prepare to sweat, wheeze, and question your life choices, but hey, at least it’s (slightly) less terrifying than facing his wives.
-
Flowing Fury with Muichiro Tokito: Forget the gym, Tokito’s training is a dance with fluidity. Picture graceful swings and stretches designed to hone your body awareness and muscle control. It’s almost…enjoyable until you realize Tokito’s ethereal gaze is judging your every misstep.
-
Leotard Limbo with Mitsuri Kanroji: Don’t let the cute looks fool you, Mitsuri’s training is a marathon of music, movement, and muscle torture. Think nonstop dancing in leotards, followed by stretches delivered with the gentle caress of a bear hug (emphasis on the hug…and the bear). Prepare to be sore, sweaty, and possibly questioning your fashion choices.
-
Obstacle Dojo Dodgeball with Obanai Iguro: This isn’t your friendly neighborhood gym class. Obanai’s training is a deadly game of dodgeball, with you as the ball and wooden swords (that can bend!) raining down on you from all angles. Think quick reflexes, near-death experiences, and the ever-present fear of being judged by Obanai’s stoic silence.
-
Infinite Pummeling Party with Sanemi Shinazugawa: Buckle up, masochists, for Sanemi’s training is a one-way ticket to Paintown. Imagine an endless barrage of sword slashes, no breaks, no mercy, until you either cough up your breakfast or pass out. This is where the truly strong rise above the weak, or simply rise to the occasion…of unconsciousness.
-
Mountain Manhood with Gyomei Himejima: If you thought Sanemi was rough, Gyomei takes things to a whole new level of “character-building.” This gentle giant’s training is a test of physical and mental fortitude. Think icy waterfall plunges, log-carrying marathons, and boulder-pushing extravaganzas – all while Gyomei’s kind gaze (and possibly his mountain-sized body) silently judge your every struggle.
So, Which Training is the Toughest?

Ah, the million-Demon Slayer question. Truth is, both Infinite Pounding and Muscle Reinforcement are contenders for the “most brutal” title. Sanemi’s sadistic beatdown tests your physical endurance and mental resilience, while Gyomei’s mountain ordeal pushes your body to its absolute limits.
At the end of the day, Infinite Pounding takes the trophy for being the hardest training to complete in the Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc. Sanemi delights in toying with you, shattering your spirit with every blow. He’s the sadistic drill sergeant of the demon slayer world, and his training is less about building you up and more about tearing you down to see if you have the pieces to rebuild yourself stronger.
