Just as we began in the previous installment, where we introduced you to the Pillar of Rock, the Pillar of Sound, and the Pillar of Mist , we still have six more to discover. In this second installment, it's the turn of the Pillar of Water, the Pillar of Flame, and the Pillar of Wind. We'll leave the Pillar of Serpent, the Pillar of Insect, and the Pillar of Love for the last installment.
If you're ready, let's continue getting to know these Pillars and find out if your favorite is among them.
Water Pillar - Giyu Tomioka

Giyu has mastered "Water Breathing," a technique he learned directly from Sakonji Urokodaki. He also employs "Total Concentration Breathing," which allows him to improve blood flow and oxygenate his muscles, thus reaching his full potential in combat. His fluid style and analytical mind allow him to defeat even the Lower Moons with ease.
With a reserved and serious personality, but with a compassionate undertone, Giyu has a strong sense of justice. This is evident in his decision to protect Nezuko, even if it went against the Demon Slayer code, demonstrating his humanity and ability to question the rules when necessary. He was the first Pillar to appear in the story and the one responsible for placing Nezuko's signature bamboo muzzle.
With a fluid combat style and great tactical intelligence, Giyu is able to successfully confront powerful demons. However, he carries the guilt of having outlived his friend Sabito. It is thanks to Tanjiro that he finds meaning in his life and decides to live in honor of those who sacrificed theirs.
His Hunter's Mark appears on the left side of his face and is shaped like streams of water.
Pillar of Flame - Kyojuro Rengoku
A skilled, courageous, charismatic, and honorable warrior, Kyojuro is known for his mastery of the "Breath of Flame" and his unwavering dedication to protecting the innocent. He inherited the title of Pillar from his father and the values of his mother, who instilled in him the importance of protecting the weak.
He possesses extraordinary technique and swordsmanship, the result of rigorous practice and strict discipline. In battle, he demonstrated bravery, physical strength, and strategic skills. His tragic death left an indelible mark on history, cementing him as one of the most beloved characters in the series.
Pillar of the Wind - Sanemi Shinazugawa

Sanemi is known for his hatred of demons, a result of the losses he suffered in his childhood. He is noted for his great strength, speed, and mastery of "Wind Breath," a combat style based on swift and precise attacks.
His extremely rare blood is intoxicating to demons, making him an effective decoy in combat. With an abrasive and stubborn nature, marked by his tragic past, he is willing to sacrifice himself to protect both innocents and his comrades.
Although his attitude is hostile, especially toward the protagonists, Sanemi demonstrates a deep love for his younger brother, Genya, and respect for Kagaya. His determination and resilience shine especially brightly in his confrontation with Kokushibo and in the final battle, where he plays a crucial role. Throughout the story, he shows remarkable development, revealing his kinder side and even apologizing to Nezuko.
His Hunter's Mark appears on his right cheek in the shape of a green origami windmill, accompanied by two dots on the sides.
