Demon Slayer Cosplay Crushes The Stone Pillar

The Demon Slayer Corps is filled with plenty of strong monster hunters, but none are as strong as the Hashira. The Pillars of Demon Slayer have affected the journey of Tanjiro and his friends in a number of different ways, with this season alone introducing fans to the likes of the Flame Hashira Rengoku and the Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui. While not having much screen time so far, one cosplayer has brought Demon Slayer’s Stone Hashira to the real world.    

The second season of Demon Slayer’s anime was not a good one for its Hashira, with Rengoku dying as a result of his final battle during the Mugen Train storyline and Tengen Uzui losing both an eye and an arm while fighting against the demonic siblings of the Entertainment District. While Gyomei Himejima wasn’t featured in the promotional material for the upcoming third season of the anime adaptation from Ufotable, several other members of the Hashira were and fans can expect the Stone Hashira to play a major role in the television series down the line. Himejima is by far the largest of the Hashira and definitely has the strength within him to have earned his place as a top-ranking member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Instagram Cosplayer Its Lanicos shared this impressive new take on the crying Hashira who is definitely one of the most imposing members of the Demon Slayer Corps while also consistently having a steady stream of tears rolling down his face:

A release date hasn’t been revealed when it comes to the third season of Demon Slayer, though Ufotable has let fans know that they can expect the Swordsmith Village Arc to arrive next year. With the manga having already come to an end thanks to creator Koyoharo Goutuge, anime fans are left wondering how many additional seasons and/or feature-length films will arrive to round out the story of Tanjiro and his demon-hunting friends. As it stands, Gotouge has been tight-lipped about revisiting the popular universe following its conclusion. 

Who is your favorite member of the Hashira? Do you think we’ll one day see Tanjiro and his young friends become members of the Hashira themselves?
