It's a way to get stronger
Who are the Hashirs? And what is needed to become one?
The term “Hashira” refers to the highest rank in the Demon Slayer Corps and translates to “Pillar” in Japanese. The reason the training is named Hashira's word is because it is specifically designed to enhance the potential of lower-ranking demon slayers in future Hashiras. The Hashiris are also recognized as the strongest individuals in the series, and they all report to the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagai Ubuyashiki. After Kagai's death, his son Kiriya Ubuyasiki led the Demon Slayer Corps. The uniqueness of each hashira is that they each have their own breathing style that they themselves have created and perfected.
There are two ways to become Hashira; The first way is that the Demon Slayer would need to kill at least fifty demons or defeat the upper moon demon on his own. The second way is to become a disciple of the current Hashir. The only way a student can become a Hashira is if the respective Hashira dies or retires. It takes nearly five years of dedication and hard work to become a hashira, but the more talented a demon slayer is, the faster he becomes a hashira. Muichiro Tokita, the current Hashiro Mist, had managed to climb the ranks after two months in the Demon Slayer Corps. There are also scenarios where the designated successor is given to Hashira. A Demon Slayer can also apply for the position or be chosen by Hashiro himself.
Explanation of Hashir's stages of learning
The obstacles that the Demon Slayers have to overcome are very serious
Hashira's training consists of different stages of training modules that Demon Slayer Corp members must go through, and Hashira goes over each stage. For fitness and endurance training, former Sound Hashiro Tengen Uzui ensures that all Demon Slayers have the necessary stamina and fitness by making them run continuously for long periods of time until they are exhausted. Tuman Hashiro, Muichiro Takaita conducts training in fast movement. This training improves the Demon Slayer's body coordination when they spar against Muichiro.
Flexibility training is given by Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji, where she trains the Demon Slayers to dance to music, followed by painful and brutal stretches. Next comes the swordsmanship training, where Hashiro's Serpent, Abanai Iguro forces the Demon Slayers to engage in combat against him.

Hashiro's Wind, Sanemi Shinazugawa also puts the trainees through an endless, intense training process where the Demon Slayers are attacked until they pass out. To make their bodies even stronger, they finally undergo muscle building training with none other than Hashira's stone, Gyomei Himejima, where they must be able to stand under a heavy waterfall for long periods of time, carry heavy wooden logs on their shoulders, and, finally, use all your concentration and strength to push the bigger boulder. Hashira's training is not only useful for Demon Slayers in training, but also for Hashira to improve their skills and unlock the Demon Slayer Mark.
