History Characters / DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaibaHashira

* HappilyMarried: He cares greatly for all three of his wives. Early in their marriage, he told them his priorities: 1.) Their lives. 2.) the lives of ordinary civilians, and 3.) his own life. [[spoiler: After losing limps in the Entertainment District arc, he retires from fighting to live with them.]]

* HappilyMarried: He cares greatly for all three of his wives.

* TragicBigot / TroubledSympatheticBigot: Their strong hatred for all demons usually stems from their DarkAndTroubledPast, as barring [[FamilyBusiness Kyojuro]], [[TheRedeemer Tengen]], and [[IJustWantToBeLoved Mitsuri]], they have either lost family members and loved ones or in Obanai's case had a demon responsible for their past misery.

** Shinobu's eyes are a gradie nt with purple on the top and black on the bottom

* TragicBigot/TroubledSympatheitcBigot: Their strong hatred for all demons usually stems from their DarkAndTroubledPast, as barring [[FamilyBusiness Kyojuro]], [[TheRedeemer Tengen]], and [[IJustWantToBeLoved Mitsuri]], they have either lost family members or loved ones or in Obanai's case had a demon responsible for their past misery.

** During the beginning of the Infinity Fortress Arc, when [[spoiler: the Kasugai crows announce Shinobu's death, Giyu is visibly shaken at the news. This is the only time he is shown to meaningfully react to the death of a Hashira throughout the entire manga.]]

* TheWorfBarrage: Giyu's own creation, the 11th Water Breathing form: Dead Calm is introduced as an ultimate defense to counterattack measure capable of completely negating even a Lower Rank's strongest attack with much ease, as it was shown against Rui; come the Infinite Castle arc, where Giyu has grown a lot stronger thanks to the Hashira Training and later [[spoiler:awakening his Mark, and the best way to show Akaza's ultimate technique: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow is extremely strong is to bypass Giyu's Dead Calm]].

* BreakoutCharacter: Muichiro had no real presence early in the series, and accordingly for the first official popularity pool in Japan he was ranked very poorly, come the Swordsmith Village arc coupled with the Infinite Castle arc and Muichiro's popularity skyrocketed in Japan, his fleshed out backstory, character and deeds made him a fan favorite among many (women in particular latched on his cute appearance), resulting in Muchiro growing to become the series' 3rd most popular character in the 2nd official manga popularity pool, being the 2nd most popular Hashira only behind Giyu; with that Muichiro has gotten plenty of dedicated merchandise ever since, official or otherwise.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Obanai's haori was first colored with purple and black stripes in the Official Digitial Color manga edition when the series first entered the Infinite Castle arc, then Gotouge soon showed in a color spread Obanai's haori had white and black stripes; however, the digital colorist actually fixed the color scheme in the following Obanai appearances, it is the only instance where they went back to match Gotouge's color scheme, unlike the infamous Doma issue.

* InformedAbility: Thanks to them all awakening the Demon Slayer Mark through Yoriichi, this Hashira assembly was dubbed the Golden Age as they were considered the strongest generation for a long time, but not a single battle to their name is ever shown on-screen to give a solid basis to such claim. The current Hashira generation surpasses them anyway by the Infinite Clastle arc where more Hashira awaken their Marks, with Kokushibo who was part of the Golden Age himself having nothing but praise to the Marked Gyomei and Sanemi.

* OnlyFriend: Tanjiro is the only person he really interacts with since Tanjiro is the one who reaches out to him. Shinobu is also one since she is the Hashira who has the best relationship with him. [[spoiler:Sabito was also his best friend as well since both had been in similar situations in the past.]]

* EarAche: He ruptured his own eardrums during his first-ever mission.

* SirSwearsALot: If happen to read the fan-translation of the manga, get ready for Sanemi to swear like a sailor.

* AmbiguouslyBi: In her first appearance, she swoons over her male comrades for their behaviors or appearances. However, she has also displayed this behavior towards Shinobu and Amane Ubuyashiki. That being said, this is mostly downplayed as she's exclusively looking for a stronger husband.

* AmbiguouslyBi: She never shows any long time romantic interests, but her [[ShipTease constant playful teasing of Giyu]] implies that she does have a thing for him. Then she sits very close to Yae's face in the Giyu Giaden, [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/kimetsu-no-yaiba/images/d/de/Yae_wakes_up.png/revision/latest?cb=20200210213923 leading to this suspect panel]] .

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: She is the first notable casualty of the Infinity Castle Arc, unless you count Kagaya's HeroicSacrifice before they were transported to the Infinity Castle. Her death raises stakes significantly and signals that for the first time since Kyojuro, major characters are at genuine risk of death.]]

* IntergenerationalFriendship: Seems to form one with Shinjuro Rengoku later on down the series.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: Seems to form one with Tengen Uzui later on down the series.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: His two sons, Kyojuro and Senjuro, greatly resemble him in appearance. To the point that Hairo and Tomi [[MistakenIdentity mistake him for his elder son.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: He strikes Senjuro. Though this was when he was drunk, it's still pretty bad.

* WomenAreWiser: During Tanjiro's trial, the two female Hashira are among the more sensible members of the group (save for Giyu, who already knows the full story), while most of the males are willing to jump the gun and demand that Tanjiro and Giyu be punished for harboring a demon. However it's hard to fault them since they've never really seen or heard of a benign demon and Shinobu tried to kill Nezuko prior to the trial before the Kasugai Crows came with the orders to bring Tanjiro and Nezuko back.

* LastNameBasis: A strange example in which although he's not this trope in universe, the Western fandom tends to exclusively refer to him using his family name, unlike other Hashira who are referred to with their first names.

* SidekickCreatureNuisance: His crow, who brags about him any chance she gets.

** Obanai is associated with lavender.

* ProudBeauty: Shinobu ''knows'' that young boys find her to be a cutie and ''weaponizes'' that fact; affectionately holding Zenitsu's hands with an angelic smile while encouraging him to do his best. This naturally causes the poor lad to go ''absolutely gaga with joy'' and train '''harder''' than Tanjiro in spite of being more greivously injured than he is.
