I don't understand why many people underestimate Tengen as one of the weakest hashira when in reality he is one of the strongest hashira, in fact I think he is even stronger at the end of the manga than many of his companions who have unlocked the mark like Muichiro or Mitsuri, i.e. if we talk about this guy he was the fastest hashira, the 2nd strongest physically, resistant to poisons, devastating power, shinobi techniques to use, superhuman hearing, experience in addition to all the various weapons he has he possesses poisoned kunai, explosive bombs and 2 very thick and resistant katanas in addition to his breathing style which is a devastating thing once completed as it allows you to predict every single attack of your enemy...
Uzui is way too underrated

he is officially the 2nd weakest Hashira and he definitely isn't underrated, he is one of the most popular hashira alongside Shinobu, Giyu and Rengoku.

Tengen isn’t “underrated”, many people love him. When it comes to his strength in fight, he was shown fighting Gyutaro which was probably the best match for him, but if we saw him against Gyokko for example, I’m afraid he wouldn’t do too good since Gyokko had entirely different abilities. Muichiro managed to defeat Gyokko thanks to the demon slayer mark and his form Obscuring Clouds which is great for confusing opponents and he couldn’t see the attack coming, but I don’t think Tengen would defeat him so easily. He is indeed very strong, but not as strong as others

While Tengen himself is really impressive and capable of doing superhuman feats, the other hashiras basically have monstrous speed and strength themselves that even with all that amazing feats he has, he is unfortunately still on the weaker side of hashiras.

@PinkFloyd007 by underrated I mean in terms of strength, where has it been officially said that it is the 2nd weakest hashira? At the end of the manga, Tengen is easily the 6 or 5 strongest hashira, I don't know why everyone says he is the 2 weakest hashira ☠️

@Ripperdoc In reality it is, or rather it was but it was surpassed by some just for the brand, but it remains one of the strongest all the same, with the brand it would easily be in 4 or 3 position in terms of strength

@Yosakusan He never said that he is one of the weakest hashira, he said that he didn't have the same talent as many others since there were some hashira more talented than him like Rengoku, Gyomei and Muichiro, but he certainly has some talent too , let's remember that of all his brothers, only he and one of his other brothers survived the infernal training they underwent as children...

@LorduSuSpiritus And here you are wrong, read the comments everyone says that tengen is one of the weakest hashira when in reality it is one of the strongest 😂. As for Gyokko, Tengen would probably have had less difficulty than Muichiro in defeating him, let's remember that Tengen is the fastest pillar and Muichiro mark was surpassed in speed by Sanami and Gyomei without mark who are the 2nd and 3rd fastest hashira... without considering that everyone underestimates Tengen's musical score, once Gyokko's fighting style is analyzed, it would be an easy victory for him since Gyokko would not be able to keep up.

@Rinrinka But if it is confirmed that Tengen is the fastest pillar and the 2nd hashira physically strongest... not to mention that many who received the mark were overtaken by other pillars who had not yet unlocked it... how can you say that Tengen is one of the weakest hashira ☠️

No I know and they are right, but just cause he’s weaker than most hashira does not mean he’s weak.

I mean tengen isn’t underrated at all, he’s one of the most popular hashira alongside the flame pillar.

But I mean realistically tengen is one of the weakest hashira. Especially considering he was getting bodied by the weakest upper moon a bunch.

I mean he did put up a great fight though.

(And when I say weak I’m referring to just In general not physically, he’s one of the strongest in terms of physical strength)

I think the list changes depending on mark vs. no mark. Tengen could have been stronger in a no mark list but there have been instances in the manga that explain this. He doubts himself to be stronger than Rengoku, Gyoumei, and Tokito against upper moon 6. There was a panel in the Swordsmith Village Arc that explained that Mitsuri's physical prowness and strength surpassed Tengen even before the mark. If you are talking about the manga, there are instances where Upper Moon's see the strength of every other Hashira.

@Phantom_373 But it's not true, Tengen is one of the strongest hashira, my indignation is that everyone puts him as one of the weakest hashira even when that's not the case, not to mention that he acted like Gyutaro in that way only because the poison was affecting him progressively weakening in the fight, it was said several times that Tengen was weakened by the poison and if it weren't for that he could have won against Gyutaro. Then I don't know why you think Gyutaro is the weakest moon when Gyokko is most weak than him

@Ramen2222 But Tengen doesn't say that he is weaker than them, he just recognizes that the 3 of them are more talented than him given the results obtained, as for Mitsuri it seems to me that it was said that in terms of technique he was superior to Tengen but in terms of strength physical Tengen proved to be stronger than her, not to mention that Tengen needed the help of the 3 demon slayers because he had been poisoned and the poison made him increasingly weaker so much so that he had to stop his heart to have an advantage against Gyutaro , in the manga it is then stated that if he had not been poisoned he would have managed, thanks to his musical score, to cut off Gyutaro's head, so the spoiler on 1 superior that you have made does not take into account Rengoku, Tengen and perhaps even Kanae, even if it is confirmed that Gyomei was the strongest among all the hashira

Well that’s because Rui was far weaker from splitting his power among his family and he had no interest in rising up the ranks.

But all the upper moons want to get stronger and rise the ranks (except douma he’s goofy). People underrated gyokko heavily and forget he lost to muichiro due to the insane power boost the mark gave him.

I mean look at the fight with gyutaro, tanjiro got the mark and made light work of him.

@Phantom_373 Not even Gyutaro for that matter had any interest in rising in rank, in fact his sister held him back terribly, just think that when he fought against Tengen we don't even see Gyutaro at his best because he had to share part of his strength with her... Gyokko would potentially be strong but he is very stupid, he has no intelligence at all in battle, in fact he gave up his vase technique to be a fighter when all he would have had to do was keep throwing various skills at Muichiro until he was exhausted, not to mention that Muichiro didn't have such an incredible boost he was poor on his own despite being a hashira but the brand made him more acceptable in combat, just look at his battle against Kokushibo where he was surpassed by Sanemi and Gyomei without the brand... I repeat Gyokko would potentially be stronger but he would lose to Gyutaro also given his incredible ingenuity in battle.

I think I agree with Tengen having a lot more potential than what he had showed off. He only showed 3 out of 7(?) forms so he probably had other things up his sleeve. However, he obviously couldn't show it. Strength is definitely objective in how we interpret it and while he had overall great stats in speed and adaptation, the things that he did while he was a Hashira is probably why people don't think he's that strong. There are other things to take into consideration like technique, which is what overall made Mitsuri technically be "stronger" but if you are talking just physically, then yeah Tengen is physically strong. Again, Mark vs. no mark makes a difference and the other powers
are probably other reasons too.

@Ramen2222 Yes Muichiro unlocks various power ups, the problem is that he is only a 14 year old boy, he has good technique and excellent breathing but he has no experience and does not have the physique of a well trained man like the other older hashira like Tengen or Rengoku (and we know that in the world of demon slayer the physique makes a huge difference), there is a reason why Sanemi without the brand managed to resist better than Muichiro with the brand, in fact a couple of years and together with Tanjiro he would have become the strongest among the demon slayers, but unfortunately we saw his peak in the final battle and this is why I consider him inferior to Tengen, because Tengen would prove to be even better than him in combat thanks to his experience, his statistics and to the various abilities he possesses

@ranpoisthecutest In reality, Rengoku is among the strongest especially at the beginning where he could very well have been in the top 3, but then it is explained why neither he nor Uzui are able to unlock the mark, in fact if they had fought in the final battle, the mark would have awakened it
