At the end of the ranking we find the saga of Hashira TrainingHere the protagonists follow the teachings of the pillars to better master many techniques and to prepare for the final battle. Static chapters where the course of the plot is practically nothing and which could be difficult for this reason.

In seventh place is the Rehabilitation Training Arch, for which the protagonists come the first time in contact with the Hashira, the nine pillars, commanded by Kagaya Ubuyashiki. This is also where the foundations are laid for some future events, such as Muzan’s extermination of the waning moons and his decision to bring the waning moons into play.

Despite the spectacular nature of the fights and the inclusion of the final techniques The final story arc stops at the sixth position for the little attention paid to many characters, for the fragmentation with which the battles are depicted, and for the excessive duration of the clash with Muzan. In fifth place we find instead the drum house sagawhere the group that Tanjiro and Nezuko will accompany until the end of the story is finally formed with the introduction of Zenitsu and Inosuke.
