| I wouldn’t call these shortcoming or flaws, maybe questionable and confusing |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |

After watching the 3rd episode and still hating the lack of information that isn't from Ufotable (like the number of episodes, what they will adapt, etc...), I noticed some flaws in the story of this episode:
1- The fact that Tanjiro hasn't become a pillar, there are 2 free places in the pillars and I wonder why Tanjiro still isn't one, he faced 2 crescent moons 2 times and always managed to come out victorious and now you can clearly see which one he is at the level of a pillar, so what else does he have to do to become one? This inattention on the part of the mangaka bothers me a lot, it would have been a nice thing to finally see him as a pillar as Rengoku had foreseen (perhaps together with Kanao who is the one closest to their level)
2- I don't understand Uzui's retreat, ok he is debilitated due to the lack of a hand and the loss of an eye, but he is still stronger than most demon slayers, as Obanai said: having him in that state is better than not having him present, so I don't understand why they say he's sad because he won't be able to help when the time comes if he can help much more than other demon slayers
3- This may be nonsense, but why are they all men in training? we don't see a female even by chance, yet in the series we glimpsed girls in Hashira's body (excluding Kanao, shinobu and mitsuri), the fact that ufotable doesn't put girls (maybe it will put them in the next episodes? ) in the background is very annoying to see

Here I can answer all these questions fine
1. To become a hashira you must either kill 50 demons and be rank kinoe. Or slay one of the twelve. In tanjiro’s case every single time he has fought an upper moon he has had a considerable amount of help.
2. Tengen said himself he would retire after fighting an upper rank if i remember correctly. It’s just something him and his wife’s agreed on. Nothing else to it really
3. There are female demon slayers in fact there are plenty of them. There were some in the first season. Idk why but they’ve been showing mostly men for some reason. But yes there are plenty of women slayers.
Edit: Remember the word hashira is just a title, sure you get perks for being one but at the end of the day it’s a title. So even if tanjiro has the powers of a hashira which currently I wouldn’t say he does (yet) he may not gain the title. But regardless a time will come we’re he is as strong as a pillar. Even if he doesn’t get the title
| @Phantom_373 This. Listen to this guy, Leon-Kun. He's right. |

| 1. While Tanjiro is very talented and shows a lot of promise, he still has a long way to go. In latest episode we could see him actually keep up with a hashira, who was crippled, not using his weapon or choice, overall heavily handicapped and even in his prime was considered 2nd weakest. Even Tanjiro acknowledges this himself. 2. Uzui was planning to retire even before Entertainment District arc once they defeat Upper Moon. Him being crippled actually cemented the decision. 3. Females are totally part of Demon Slayer corp and three named girls are not the only active fighters (we have seen some during Mount Natagumo arc), but why we haven't seen any sweaty, muscular girls running around was not explained, nor is that much relevant. |

| You had the answer to the first two questions in the anime. 1. Tanjiro is not a Pillar because he neither has the highest rank nor has he killed 50 demons or a higher moon. He did behead demons, but with more than half the help of others. He practically received these beheadings on a platter and he has to do it himself for it to count 2. Yes, I see Tengen's wasted potential here. At the request of his wives, he left to live in peace, but with his power he could easily carry out a normal mission. a regular Pillar, even a wounded one, is worth about 100 regular demon slayers as seen in these episodes. The author simply doesn't develop much of the characters who once did something, so she got rid of him. 3. in the manga it was the same. Maybe the author didn't want to draw women. note that these guys are identical in appearance and with women you would have to try harder, so it's probably laziness XD |

Requirement for becoming Hasira is slaying a Lower Moon demon on top of 50 regular demons. Dani and Gyutaro were were the first Upper Demons to be slain for over a century, yet we have Hashira in current generation. |

| @Piromysl Well, akshually, there three ways of becoming a Pillar. 🤓 Two are, let's call them, "regular", dedicated to every Demon Slayer of Kinoe-rank (the highest rank before becoming a Pillar). To prove that the candidate is eligible to be promoted to a Pillar, so they are skilled and experienced high enough, they need to 1) slay 50 demons as a Kinoe-rank Demon Slayer, or 2) slay one of Twelve Demon Moons. Since Upper Moons are considerably stronger than Lower Moons, in practice, only Lower Moon demons were killed by Pillar candidates. After all, there have been so, so many years since anyone heard about an Upper Moon demon successfully getting destroyed in a fight. That's why conjoined effort of Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Nezuko, Tengen and his wives, all battling Daki and Gyuutarou and winning the fight in the end, was a huge deal once everyone heard that UM 6 was no more. The third method, which is more elite and justifies having its own category, is becoming a Pillar by becoming a Tsuguko of the existing Pillar, getting trained as heck in a certain Breathing technique, and thus, in the end, inheriting the seat in case said Pillar resigns or gets killed. Of course, there needs to be a free seat among the Pillars to make it possible for anyone eligible to join their ranks. |

| @Piromysl I forgot to write about lower demons. You can kill 50 demons, or one higher or lower moon. The higher moons are too strong, so most of the Pillars probably got their titles by defeating the lower demons, or the few dozen of them with the highest rank, of course. |
