Ah. I'm not saying they're not, I do think they're worthy of eventually becoming Pillars of course. It's just that they're not all there yet.

Giyu says pretty clearly that Tanjiro is on the level of a pillar
compared to what?
he beat an upper moon. his feats are on par with other pillars
None of his UM fighst have left me feeling like he was on par with the pillars he fought alongside.
Really? He decapitated Akaza, something neither Giyu nor Rengoku could do
tanjiro says it about his dad in the flashback with the bear. I assume it means he's relatively passive and reactionary rather than proactive. Not entirely sure though.
Tanjiro isn't weak, but Akaza giving up and killing himself takes away from the impressiveness of that fight imo.
The state when Tanjiro hide his battle spirit thus make him undetectable from Akaza's compass.

If we go by that none of the pillars are pillar level 😏 except the only one to 1v1 a upper moon best mist boy. Otherwise the boy's and girls growth have been pretty consistent. I'd put all 5 of them on pillar level imo
Chapter 179 spoilers
Genya doesnt make it.....come on, not when he just started to reconcile with his bro, still dont fully understand if Mist boy is actually dead, he was arguably the second strongest.....also im sure Muzan has a backup plan, afterall he just needed Koku to hold the upper pillars for a little longer, im guessing he will have fully absorbed Tamayo by the time we meet him again.
None Spoilers.
Tanjiro has to be atleast Pillar level, he was holding his own against Akaza.

Tokito was so savage that we didn't even got a flashback for that upper demon lol the only one not to get a single reference to his past life.

He got solo'd he lost all will to remember what life was like 😂😂
Yo, that... makes a ton of sense. Rather than being a fighting style disguised as a dance, have it be a dance that was turned into a fighting style - he learned the breathing from them, and then developed the sword techniques from the movements. Maybe the origin of it loops back around to being a fighting style from some point in the far distant past, even...
Reminds me a little of ATLA.
OP
OP
Only thing that wouldn't make sense to me is the ear rings. Did he copy their ear rings or did he give the ear rings to the head of the family to pass down the style to whoever learns the dance?
He wasn't wearing them when he was old. So it's possible he passed them down which may have been the start of the tradition.
He had them in that flashback with Tanjiro's ancestor, but not when he saw his brother, so I think he just gave them to the family when he either learned or taught the techniques.

Nothing ends well when related to Mist
The Mist by Stephen King the shitty book ending
The Mist movie based off the book with the super grim ending
Mist-y from Pokemon never getting her bike back.

I'm not really hurting too much from these deaths because they're happening too back to back. That might be imho the biggest negative to the story. There has been little breathing room.
These two hit me hard due to how freaking young they are compared to the surviving members. It's realistic since the newbies tend to die in war before the veterens due to lack of experience, but you rarely see that in shounen. Threw me for a surprise.
That and Genya's brother's reaction actually got to me.
For Demon Slayer, a series I felt would drag its feet in the Red Light District arc and the Sword Village arc, is quickening the pace here and it makes sense why. This is a raid on the Upper Moon base. They don't really have all that much time since they're trying to get to Muzan quickly and the other Upper Moons are pretty much just getting in their way.

I quite like the quick pacing (Black Clover and Dr. Stone are also rather quickly paced), though it's making some of the other manga I read feel glacial in comparison.

Yeah even though I love the pacing, the deaths are not affecting me as much. That being said, still wanted Genya and Tokito to survive somehow.
I wonder if Muzan fully absorbs the demon lady (can't really remember her name) is he going to get a power boost? If that really does happen, then I bet Tanjiro and Nezuko are gonna be the ones to bring him down and I bet Tanjiro is gonna die.
I'm enjoying this, up to episode 6 I think now? They just finished their first trial thing to be inducted into the demon hunter society.
A lot of it feels SUPER derivative, like we've just swapped out ninjas or shinigami for yokai and oni, but moments like Episode 2's where Nezuko boots off that guy's head are entertaining enough to keep my interest.
Does it continue to stay weird or does it fall into the shounen "power up and monologue at bad guys" routine like the last few episodes?

You're in the manga thread so watch out for spoilers. This isn't typical shounen. Keep watching.
