He’s a gentle giant and has also been compared to one of the Buddhist kings by kokoshibo in the official fan book. Such a beautiful soul he is

The scar on Gyomei's head also reminds me of Jesus Christ's crown of thorns, maybe that plays into how he saved the kids but still suffered for his noble actions

13:00 Keep in mind that the girl didn't blame Gyomei for the murders. She knew that he was protecting her from the demon but was too shocked to say it properly.

13:02 I prefer the fan translations on this one, they instead had the girl say "Demon!" "Demon!" over and over again due to her panic and the villagers assumed she meant Gyomei, then she later explains to him that she was trying to explain it was a demon attack but couldn't form the rest of the words EDIT: Now that I think about it, I could also interpret "that man is a monster" as her referring to the demon and not Gyomei in the same way - I just feel this would've been a much more tragic story for Gyomei as instead of the girl turning on him, she was just trying to do the right thing but physically couldn't

I just realize that Gyomei is like a male Toph. Both are blind and have some connection to the Earth.

Kokoushibo has six eyes, but in the end he was still less insightful and perceptive than the blind Himejima. He even sensed that Kokushibo was not telling the whole truth, that someone had survived into old age with a slayer mark, even though Kokushibo himself was repressing his memories of the past. I also think that his strength fed into Kaigaku's inferiority complex as thats how he reacted to Kokushibo, Himejimas foil.

That panel with all the kids telling gyomei that he shouldn't apologise, that they love him and have waited for him the whole time is just heartbreaking. It's great that he got reincarnated into a more peaceful life than his prior one.

Given his insane strength for a human makes you wonder how dangerous he'd be if he became a demon.

I cried like a baby when I saw Gyomei reuniting with the orphans after his death.

Demon Slayer is such an underrated piece in terms of writing. Alot of the underlying themes in the story are heavily embedded within Japanese culture and history, which is difficult to communicate to fans globally. Gyomei is absolutely one of my favorite characters in the series, and it was extremely rewarding to see his good deeds payed off in his reincarnation.

Gyomei reminds me so much of my dad, that's why he's so precious to me, I cry whenever I listen to his backstory.

This was the one I was waiting for the most. Let's fucking go dude.

I think this is the most I've ever heard someone talk about Himejima lmao He was pretty underrated and a bit underused I think I wish we got a small arc with him and Obanai. It would've been cool and given their deaths a bit more weight

Sweet, you've finally done the Stone Pillar, now we just need Akaza.

Gyomei in the Manga: A kind giant and noble hero Gyomei in the Anime: *C R Y*

Gyomei, a normal blind monk was able to brutalize a demon without any training or any weapon.

One detail that seems to have been forgotten in the character analysis being that Gyomei weapon isn't made of scarlet ore, its made of pure iron

He always had that feeling of that cool teacher or strong older brother. Like he would be there and i would immediately think everything is going to be okay and they’ll be safe. I absolutely love when writers are able to give the reader the same feeling as the characters

What I like about him is that Gotouge did not follow the typical mould in shounen about characters of big stature usually are the weakest and even the dumbest. Basically your generic muscled brute. Instead Himejima was written like how Oda wrote Whitebeard, their physical stature was literal in the sense of what their characters truly were, the strongest amongst their peers; well written depictions of gentle giants. Even before the information that Gyoumei was indeed the strongest pillar, his design and the mystery about his behaviours already gave the readers a small hint that this guy was one to watch for in the future. Gyoumei's role in the final arc was one of the highlights for me.

Gyomei: I am pure boi Jonathan Joestar: I too am pure boi Gyomei: let's be friends! Jonathan: splendid idea!

I would like to add that Rhyolite magma/lava are often associated with the most explosive volcanic eruptions on Earth. This is due to the viscosity of this magma that doesn't allow gases to escape and this magma doesn't usually reach the surface and create volcanic cones (they do make rhyolite domes).

The fact he is the strongest hashira does not surprise me. If I saw him in the distance I would be running for my life praying.

There is a side sketch in volume sixteen where the little girl was actually referring to the demon killing the orphans instead of Gyomei. But she was too traumatized to say otherwise and even growing up she regrets what she said. All the orphans, except Kaigaku, really loved Gyomei and it’s sad he doesn’t realize that until the end.

We cannot ignore the fact that as strong this person was, he never wanted to fight in the 1st place. He didn't choose this life, he had no other choice. All he ever wanted was to be a teacher for young kids and in the end, he got his wish. I cannot help but truly feel for the character full heartfelt. 💯🙏🏽

The sole survior from that night didn't blame Gyomei, she was saying it was the demon's fault but since there was no body and he was covered in blood he everyone found him guilty - the girl does regret it.

he’s my fav hashira i love him sm

Can we get insouke pls? He's the only demon slayer based on the five senses you haven't done yet .

damn ufotable is the best perfect studio to adapt demon slayer honestly ufotable colorful and unique design and concept fits perfect for demon slayer

Gyomei is such a beautiful character

The strongest pillar has arrived

Question, have you ever thought or will make a episode on Yoriichi? If you want my opinion I think you should.

Been waiting for this one, just waiting on a certain slithery boy

He is the true meaning of the gentle giant

i recently found your channel and ever since ive been addicted to "the beauty of" series! you go into every detail about the character and give them a personal review and i really like that we get to know how you feel about the character as well. props to you

8:19 One of the best surprises I got out of reading KNY was finding out that literally ALL of the Hashiras are masters at shit-talking in the heat of battle

I always love these analysis. Hopefully things don't get more stressful in your life. Pressure makes strong men and all that.

I love all the Hashira. Gyomei is so fucking cool and is in the two best fights of the series.

He's one of my favorites because how I saw in the manga and also he reminds me of Toph

The Chad of chads, absolute unit, 7ft 2, tallest character in demon slayer

My absolute favorite character in all of Demon Slayer. Loved his design ever since I saw it at the Hashira meeting and became a huge fan of him by the end of the Upper One fight when he reacted to the Mist Hashira's sacrifice. He truly will be the most dangerous character in Demon Slayer : Hinokami Chronicles as he will most likely have the longest range out of all the Slayers. Thank you Meti for this video and reminding me once again why this is such a well made character.

9:34 So that's what it resembles for his Demon Slayer mark. It's in the form of earthquake cracks. I feel kinda dumb now, it was so obvious. It matches perfectly with his Breathe of the Rock

"Both Zatoichi and Gyomei have abscent father" I mean, aren't we all?

Honestly he’s my favourite pillar, I like a lot of the development the pillars went through, I really didn’t like Iguro but with both his backstory and his performance during the final arc I genuinely liked the guy.

*Always* love your Demon Slayer videos; really makes me appreciate this series even more every time

"If only tomorrow had come"

I feel like this awesome guy is so underrated and one of the least popular pillars, gyomei is not my favourite character but he is definitely in the top 3, his power and kindness is just what I love about his character so much

Thank you for creating this video Meti, I deeply appreciate this video and those like it. You put alot of work into analysing and breaking them down and I appreciate it.

Read the mangas, but I am still looking forward to watch the animated version once it comes out, especially the fight against Upper Moon1 Kokushibo and the final battle against Muzan :), just remembering that page I read a while ago at 15:33 , I probably will cry after watching the aftermath of the battle against Muzan. Gyomei is a gentle giant who has such a pure and beautiful soul. That lovely and peaceful smile at 15:44 , as he's slowly passing away kinda reminds me of Rengoku's last moment, he also died with smile on his face.

Maybe its was just me but he also kinda gives a jesus vibe with his scar reminding me of the crown of torns

I have been waiting for this video for so long.

I would love to see a video on Kokushibo

Niceee. I was waiting for a video on this guy. My favorite pillar.

I couldn't stop laughing when reading the chapter where tanjiro,inosuke and zenistu went to train with him🤣🤣🤣..It was Hilarious And when he first attacks mizan🤩I got goosebumps... can't wait to see it animated.

Thank you for the quality content!

another incredible video. kudos Meti

U put in so much time in ur work its outstanding!!!! Thanks for the magnificent vid dude :D

Namu Amida Butsu 😭🙏 I may be soft outside but rock inside Hail infinite Buddha

Was waiting for this one!

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!

Ive been hype for this one!!

Love the demon slayer content bro keep it comin 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

*yes...I’ve been waiting for this*

I consistently watch ur vids, almost as consistent as u mentioning that one anime

Honestly if Gyomei became a demon, considering that would most definitely cure his blindness and only increase his strength which is above most demons, and that he would have even more extremely enhanced senses, we’ll take him at his strongest which is during the Kokushibo fight he got his mark and access to the see through world and just look at his extremely polished set of skills. He could probably beat Kokoshibo, and assuming Muzans curse does not affect him either hold his own against Muzan for a fairly long period of time or just flat out stalemate him

I love these videos and I had no clue he dropped this one

Favorite character since we first saw him the kokushibo fight was so good can’t wait to see that animated

Zatoichi reminds me of fujitora from one piece maybe he was inspiration for that character as well

Question: What resources do you use for Japanese/Kanji translation? I mainly use google as I’m sad, and I’m wanting to better my methods of creating OCs. As names are incredibly important aspects, I’d love to hear some advice.

Now that I think about it Gyomei’s backstory is most likely the reason why I never smile

Yoooo! This video went love the moment I was going to start eating dinner, it couldn't have had a better time! :D

Love the Gyomei video you did, maybe next video you can do Akaza, would really love the indept video.

Man imagine Gyomei was on the Mugen train and killed Akaza. that would put fear on upper ranks (except 2 and 1) knowing a Hashira killed one of the strongest demons

Such beautiful character.

I love this man..

This is really good! You could even call it... stone solid

According to UM1, he is a peak human (probably like Captain America in a sense). His muscles and techniques are maxed for a human. He would be a total monster as a demon, possibly surpassing the current UM1

2:56 OOOOOOOOH, that's where Zato=1 got his name from... Took me a few seconds, holy shit.

Just subbed, watached all your MGS videos's need a Solid Snake video haha

Amazing

Gyomei is a tank fr

When can we expect Building A Bastard: Kaigaku?

Good video

My favorite character

I love these demon slayer videos, can you please do Kokushibou or Akaza

…am I the only one who LOVED the conclusion of this manga/anime??

16:29 one of the best examples of this is, one of the best examples of this

I'm just glad that Zatoichi is getting more recognition now, from One Piece's Fujitora and now Himejima

I need a video about Stars and Stripes from my hero academia please hope you do a video about her and hope it is soon also love this videos keep up the great work

When I saw him, his forehead scar and his white eyes I immediately thought of Fujitora (one piece) and Zatoichi

zaroichi reminds me of fujitora like the eyes with no pupils and the cane sword

My favorite pillar

He deserved better... but then again, all of the pillars deserve better

babe wake up, new Meti video

Gyomei is my favorite character he’s so cool

I love demon slayer 🥺

Any character has a sad story Kaigaku: it’s free real estate

FINALLY LETS GO

Only one pillar left 🐍

The humble hulk who hates to harm.

Himejima is such a sad and badass character.
