The three little ones were currently at the bottom in strength, but had great potential for growth.
Lower Rank Demons, meanwhile, were stepping stones for Demon Slayer Corps members to become Hashira. In the Corps' early days, killing a Lower Rank of the Twelve Kizuki was enough to become a Hashira.
The next tier was the ordinary Hashira.
These included Insect, Sound, Love, Serpent, Water, Flame, Mist, and Wind.

And among those lowest-ranked Upper Rank Demons, the differences in strength were even greater.
Some were very powerful, capable of taking on two opponents at once.
Others were hopeless, like a certain pot, who could even take a massive dump right in front of you!
And above their tier...

Su Chen could say with complete confidence...
If Number Three's wife had not called him home in Infinity Castle, if that idiot Doma had not been so greedy, and if the Wind Hashira had not polished his
