Gyomei Himejima's name is enough to terrorize demons as he is considered the most formidable demon slayer in the current timeline of the series.

Ubel, All for One, and 8 other anime side characters who can easily beat Demon Slayer's strongest Hashira Gyomei Himejima

1) Ubel (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End)

The first-class mage who took part in the same exam as Frieren and Fern, Ubel is one of the anime side characters who could easily beat Demon Slayer Corps' strongest Hashira. Not only is she an expert in hand-to-hand combat, but she is also an amazing mage.

She displayed her magical abilities during the exam against her opponents. Her strongest spell is also her simplest one, Reelseiden. The spell can cut through anything as long as Ubel believes she can it, which would make it a trump card against Himejima.

2) Mahito (Jujutsu Kaisen)

The unregistered special-grade cursed spirit who is capable of transfiguring anyone's soul, Mahito is one of the anime side characters capable of defeating the Stone Hashira with his cursed technique, Idle Transfiguration.

Mahito has killed some of the strongest sorcerers in the series Jujutsu Kaisen, including the fan-favorite one, Nanami Kento. Although he has other moves up his sleeve, his main weapon in battle is the cursed technique which is enough to make him one of the strongest cursed spirits from the series.

3) Tatsumaki (One Punch Man)

Tatsumaki is the number 2 hero in One Punch Man, surpassed only by the number 1 hero Blast, and one of the strongest anime side characters. Despite having the height of a little girl, her psychokinesis ability is enough to win over Demon Slayer's strongest Hashira.

Her battle against Psykos is one of the best fights of the series in which Tatsumaki showcased her prowess over psychokinsis. As Psykos was no match for her, Himejima could also be an easy opponent for this arrogant beauty who is too confident with her abilities.

4) All for One (My Hero Academia)

The main antagonist of My Hero Academia who is capable of stealing any power, All for One is one of the anime side characters powerful enough to take on the strongest opponents in this media.

Not only is he capable of stealing quirks, but he can also combine them and use them as a collective weapon that is more deadly than their individual powers. This ability could prove lethal against Gyomei Himejima or any other character from Demon Slayer.

5) Nagato Uzumaki (Naruto)

Nagato Uzumaki possessed the strongest kekkei genkai in the series, the Rinnegan, which granted him godly powers like manipulating heavenly bodies or creating heavy forces that were capable of sending anyone flying away.

Nagato's other persona was Pain, which divided his consciousness into six different individuals, each excelling at a technique of its own. Against someone as overpowered as Nagato, Himejima would stand no chance.

6) Shanks (One Piece)

The only Conqueror of the Grand Line who has maintained his name from the start of One Piece, Shanks is one of the strongest pirates. Not only does he possess every kind of Haki, making him a formidable opponent, but he also has an unknown-grade sword that is at least a Great-Grade Sword.

Against Demon Slayer's strongest Hashira, the battle could so toe-to-toe when it came to swordplay, but once Shanks added his Haki to the fight, the battle could fall in the favor of the Red Hair.

7) Zaraki Kenpachi (Bleach)

Kenpachi is the captain of Division 11 of the Soul Society and the swordsman who awakened his Zanpakuto, Nozarashi, in the last arc of the series, during the second part of Thousand Year Blood War.

His swordplay could be considered barbaric which comes from his crude personality. Fighting against Demon Slayer's Stone Hashira, the fight could go evenly matched in the start, but as the fight progresses and Kenpachi gets excited, the showdown will become one-sided in favor of the Bleach character.

8) Milim Nava (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)

Milim is one of the first-generation demon lords in the series and one of the anime characters who could easily beat the strongest Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps. Despite her charming and playful demeanor, Milim packs a punch when she gets serious.

Other than monstrous strength, she also possesses unique skills which range from giving her long-distance vision to her true abilities as the daughter of a dragon. Himejima could hardly stand against her in battle, even when he gave it his all.

9) Kishibe (Chainsaw Man)

The devil hunter whose experience makes him one of the strongest in the series, Kishibe is the first teacher of Denji and Makima who taught them what it means to fight against someone strong.

Although Kishibe doesn't possess any weapons he could take in battle, like Demon Slayer's strongest Hashira, he is one of the anime side characters capable enough to beat Himejima through his battle IQ and sharp-mindedness.

10) Neferpitou (Hunter x Hunter)

One of the strongest Nen users in Hunter x Hunter, Neferpitou is one of the guards of Meruem and one of the most cunning characters in this series. Being a Chimera Ant, they possess superpowers like immense agility, vision, stamina, and everything else.

The most formidable weapon in her arsenal is her intelligence with the help of which she was able to gain information about humans. Against Himejima, she could face a hard time but she could emerge as the winner of this battle.

While Demon Slayer's Gyomei Himejima can be considered one of the strongest characters in the anime genre, these 10 anime side characters' abilities can likely overpower the strongest Hashira of Demon Slayer.
