Alright, followers, only two more hashira left on the list, and i saved these two for last on the list cause that im sure you'll get a keen sight on them.
Every group needs a leader. Some you can say, are they the toughest and most strongest? The determined? The logic that is the smartest? Or the keen strategist in battle? Well there is one hashira who carries that title for himself and while not perfect, he's an absolute powerhouse all on his own!
Meet Gyomei Himejima! Also known as "The Stone Hashira!" Gyomei is a really tall muscular man with a body mass almost as arching like a bear. He has spiky black hair and a prominent scar running horizontally across his forehead. He has blank white eyes with no visible irises or pupils showcasing he is infact blind.
Gyomei wears a black and white uniform typical of a Demon Slayer corps member with bandages over his shins resembling kyahan and white zōri with an olive green happi draped over his shoulders. The collared frame of the happi contains the kanji for a certain japanese buddha chant from the top-down, along with the separate kanji all over at the back. He also sports a large-beaded necklace around his neck. Showing he has a deep connection to all things spirtual. Gyomei is noted as the strongest hashira!
This is because there is one of a rare kind that can master one of the most difficult forms called "Stone Breathing," a rare type of Stone swordsman that has the power to hit and attack demons as if they were being attacked by a boulder. Not many survive this path due to the tensity training, which includes being under a hard waterfall, lifting up three logs, and a boulder as twice as tall than you and must be pushed one edo.
Gyomei is the present Stone hashira to date, and there is much more reason than meets the eye. So how did he become a hashira?
Well, you see, as you would already note, you can see this guy wears beads and prays in tongues. Giving him the looks of a priest, He once lived with a family within the moutainside, but his parents have died from natural causes including childbirth, disease, and possivly Famine.
By the time he was a late teenager, Gyomei owned a rundown temple, depraved of poverty and limited to food options. He raised nine orphaned children whom he grew to love and care for as if they were his family. He pushed himself day and night to provide them with something to eat and drink and sleep in. Despite the harsh conditions, he lost muscle mass and barely eaten anything.
Though he did his hardest, Gyomei feared one problem that raised options. By the rumors of demons prowling around the temple that have been plaguing the land of japan, every night, he burned wisteria incense, a plant that can numb demons senses.
Each night, He burned incense wisteria to ward off the demons to protect the children from being killed. But for him, this was beyond the pale...
Without warning and without knowing why, one of the nine children vanished into the night, and
out of shock, he was attacked by a demon. The child ran back to the temple for safety, but rather than entering inside, he blew off the incense, and the demon rampaged.
Four children were quickly devoured before the others' eyes peered of the threat. Gyomei tried to protect them, instructing they escape. However, the children had doubts and fear striking their lives. The person who raised them the most was blind and gave them so much to fill their stomachs and kept them together they used tools from the shed to defend each other and attacked the demon straight on. The demon lashed out with claws that stained the walls red and teeth bared the flesh of the youg. Three were murdered gruesome, and the last remaing child witnessed the event.
Because of his supreme strength, gyomei beats and pouds the demons body bit by bit rendering it unconscious until the sun came. Exhausted, wounded,Gyomei thought he had saved them all. The look on the girls face saw him now what he was...a monster.
Without no evidence and protesting everything he heard, Gyomei's word grew silent and instead taken into custody soon to be executed
for his crimes. But though death would be short and coming, his life was spared by Kagaya, a leader who rules the demon corps, a secret organization whose sole purpose is to destroy demons from japan.
Kagaya tells gyomei he is no murderer and his crimes are but false that pried on empty ears. Thankful, Gyomei cried for the man, who gave his life purpose and value.
Up till the president thanks to his newborn strength and power, Gyomei trained himself to the bone becoming the hashira we see him as today, The Stone Hashira!
Gyomei is the definition of a gentle giant, Because of his size, others grow to fear him due to how big he is, but he has a soft heart underneath. He cries even in the simple of things such as a mother holding a sons hand or a piece of trash being littered on the ground, giving him out of everyone the emotional guy.
On one side, he is also strong, mighty, and honest. When events get serious, his full power is in full blossom. The weapon he uses is a giant flail spiked ball attacked to a chain with an axe.
Because of this, Gyomei can render any enemy powerless, able to smash them into pieces. And because of the sounds protruding, he is able the smallest of sounds able to pinpoint where the enemy strikes.
Stab him, cut him up, and he takes those blows on like a tank! Showing he is a beast that won't go down until he dies.
So what if Gyomei joined the loki familia?
Without warning and without knowing why, one of the nine children vanished into the night, and
out of shock, he was attacked by a demon. The child ran back to the temple for safety, but rather than entering inside, he blew off the incense, and the demon rampaged.
Tione, Tiona, Bete would definitely would want to spar with someone as strong as gyomei! For someone who was strong enough to hold upper rank one long enough, he would be a beast in fighting the amazoness sisters.
If he were though in the dungeon, any monster he faced would be guaranteed dead. Gyomei's flail and Axe would easily puncture boulder-like holes on the flesh of monsters within his vicinity. Strong ones would easily be trumphed over that he would likely be strong enough to face against the black minotaur.
Though while strong and tough as an ox, gyomei has exceptional hearing as even from a small word to a hush, he can use his attacks to pinpoint monsters' locations. Although he would be attacked by swift and ambushing monsters that would catch him off guard.
Even without his weapon, Gyomei is a badass with his bare strength. He can plummet and break eneimies until they are dead. He is an unrelenting powerhouse you don't wanna mess with.
As such, this would be one of the most beneficial attackers the familia has welcomed due to his sheer size and power.
What do you guys think? Would this be an upgrade or a leader?
