There are several pillars that have technical power but there are also those that have extraordinary physical strength like Gyomei Himejima, the stone pillar. There are several facts about Gyomei Himejima that you might only find in comics.

The Dunia Games team will discuss some facts about Gyomei Himejima that are quite surprising and rarely known by fans. Let's see in more detail.

1. Gyomei Himejima Is a Blind Pillar

Gyomei Himejima is the only blind Hashira in Demon Slayer. Even though he is blind, he manages to become a Hashira and always faces various challenges. The reason for his blindness has not been clearly explained in the anime. He became blind as a child due to a fever of unknown cause. Gyomei Himejima was not someone who was born blind, but he became blind due to an unknown fever when he was little.

2. Gyomei Himejima Is the Strongest Pillar

Gyomei is considered to be the strongest and most muscular of the Hashira. His body is large and very stocky. He is also the tallest person in the anime series. Just by looking at his appearance, one could tell that he was very strong. Even his blindness doesn't prevent him from being strong. His hair is black and he has a scar on his forehead that shows the hardships and torment he has endured. The clothes he was wearing were the green Haori from the demon slayer uniform. He is a kind person and also very emotional.

3. Has a Burly Body But a Soft Heart

Gyomei looks like the Hulk. His body is big and stocky. Often, it was difficult for one to assume that such a well-built body belonged to someone with a good heart, because appearances were often deceiving. However, he has a generous and soft-hearted personality.

When Tanjiro and Nezuko were confronted in front of Hashira, most of Hashira tortured them. However, Gyomei is one who feels sorry for them for going through such a difficult phase and supports them by raising his voice to help Tanjiro. This incident shows Gyomei's personality and his belief in humanity above all else.

4. Has a Watchful Nature

Although he is a kind-hearted and helpful individual, Gyomei remains wary of the suspicious nature of others. As a demon slayer and a Hashira, one must be sensitive to suspicious behavior around him. Therefore, he is always on guard and does not easily trust anyone. However, once he believes in someone, he will protect them to the end.

5. Has the Strong Stone-Breathing Technique

He is the only Hashira who has mastered the Stone Breathing Technique. This technique is one of the rarest techniques. This is the reason why he became one of the strongest Hashira. This breathing style mimics rock and earth, and the user imitates its sturdy movements. His stone breathing technique is so strong that he was able to match his moon breathing technique during his fight with Kokushibo.

6. Gyomei Himejima is an Orphan

Gyomei is one of ten orphans. They all live in an orphanage where he is the oldest of them. He raised them all like an older brother. He raised them in a temple. The temple is often haunted by demons, and as an older brother, he always protects others from demonic threats.

7. Gyomei Knows One of the Moon Demons

Gyomei, who used to live with the orphans she helped and educated like a mother, always protected them from demons. Among them, there was an orphan named Kaigaku who died from a demon attack and then turned into a demon. Before long, he became the sixth top ranking moon demon. Because of that, the two of them knew each other personally.

8. Went Through a Very Hard Journey

Gyomei is an orphan along with nine other orphans. He became blind due to an unknown disease. As the oldest, he protects 9 other orphans.

Once, a demon entered the temple and immediately four orphans died. The other children disobey Gyomei's orders because they don't believe in him due to his blindness, and they die too. Only a child named Sayo, who was the youngest, was saved by Gyomei. He fought hard and managed to save her until morning. However, people misunderstood Gyomei as a monster and imprisoned him.

Later, Kagaya Ubuyashiki exonerates him from false accusations and trains him to become a demon slayer. Within two months of becoming a demon slayer, he became Hashira.

9. Gaining the Demon Slayer Mark When Fighting Kokushibo

During his fight against the First Rank Devil, Gyomei showed that he had awakened the mark on his body as well. The marks looked like cracks in the ground on both of his upper arms. When activated, the mark drastically increases his physical abilities, such as strength, speed, and stamina, allowing him to fight against High Rankers for extended periods of time.

10. Has Sharp Hearing Because He is Blind

Due to his blindness, Gyomei compensates and adapts his senses to adapt to his condition, effectively developing an unusually keen sense of hearing. His hearing abilities are so outstanding that Gyomei can accurately perceive and interact with his surroundings normally, even during high speed fights against demons without difficulty. Even more impressively, Gyomei was able to hear the sound of Muzan Kibutsuji's flesh regenerating during their brief confrontation and used it to determine that Muzan was different from any demon he had ever faced, solely based on the sound the Demon King had made.

Later, during his fight against the First Rank Upper, Kokushibo noted that Gyomei used the sound of the clanking chains to pinpoint the exact position where the chains were and used that to guide his axe and weapon during the fight. As seen during his conversation with Kokushibo about the Demon Slayer Mark, Gyomei was able to correctly tell that Kokushibo was lying by detecting the slightest change in his body's voice. Gyomei noted that he heard Kokushibo tremble after revealing his ruse.
