Gyomei Himejima’s famous quotes: the Stone Hashira’s profound words that resonate with the heart (1–10)
Rest easy… We all feel the same.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
To the enraged Muichiro Tokito, the Mist Hashira, over the death of Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, came the famous line: “Rest assured… we all feel the same.” It’s a remark that lays bare the anger of Gyomei Himejima, whose emotions are usually unreadable.
Ubuyashiki, who watched over everyone like a father—including himself—met a magnificent end, and you can feel how the hatred toward Muzan Kibutsuji reached its peak.
It’s a soul-stirring quote that foreshadows the beginning of the Corps marching toward their final battle.
If you can completely still your mind, even fire will feel cool.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
During the Hashira Training aimed at increasing the overall strength of the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Himejima delivered the famous line, “Empty your mind… In that void… even fire feels cool…” to Tanjiro Kamado and Zenitsu Agatsuma when they reached his training ground.
It’s an old Japanese proverb, but because he uttered it while carrying logs and a boulder and being seared by flames, it sent chills down their spines.
This extreme display may be one of the reasons Himejima is called the strongest in the Corps.
It’s a quote that conjures the grueling rigor of training both mind and body.
I will surely defeat Muzan and come to you. Rest easy and sleep.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
A famous line addressed to Genya Shinazugawa and the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, who lost their lives in the battle against Upper Rank One, Kokushibo: “I will surely defeat Muzan and come to you.
Rest easy and sleep.” It feels like a send-off to comrades in the Demon Slayer Corps who fought to the very end despite still being in their teens.
Having manifested the Mark, he understands his own life will not be long, yet you can feel his resolve and determination to inherit their will and definitely defeat Muzan Kibutsuji.
It is a quote that expresses Gyomei Himejima’s profound sorrow and anger.
Let’s quickly kill this wretched child and set them free.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
The famous line he uttered when Tanjiro Kamado tried to protect his sister Nezuko, who had become a demon: “Let’s quickly kill this pitiful child and set her free.” It follows his declaration that, even if she’s family, a Demon Slayer Corps member acting together with a demon must be possessed by a demon.
Behind this statement may lie his judgment, formed as the Stone Hashira after witnessing countless demons, that there are no exceptions.
It’s a striking quote that cemented his image upon his first appearance as an inscrutable character.
It’s admirable to have defeated two Upper Moons without dying.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
Following the line “If we lose any more Hashira, the Demon Slayer Corps will be in danger” comes the famous quote: “It is a noble feat to have slain two Upper Ranks without losing your lives.” This was said in praise of Muichiro Tokito, the Mist Hashira, and Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Hashira, who fought alongside Tanjiro Kamado in the Swordsmith Village and defeated Upper Rank Four, Hantengu, and Upper Rank Five, Gyokko.
The fact that they managed to take down two Upper Rank demons—said to each rival the strength of three Hashira—without any loss of manpower underscores how crucial it was for the battles to come.
It’s a line that honors a situation bordering on miraculous.
The suspicion has been cleared. No matter what anyone says, I acknowledge you.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
The famous line directed at Tanjiro Kamado—who has completed his training, acted admirably in the Swordsmith Village, and consistently maintained a humble attitude—goes: “All doubt has been cleared.
No matter what anyone says, I acknowledge you.” Because he once tried to kill Tanjiro, believing he was possessed by a demon, the line carries a deeper meaning and weight.
Moreover, given his own past and his views on the existence of “children,” he may have been deeply struck by Tanjiro’s straightforward character and presence.
It’s a memorable quote that conveys that sense of emotion.
I must go. Lift your face.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
The Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa, grieving beside his younger brother Genya—who lost his life in the battle against Upper Rank One, Kokushibo—receives the famous words, “You must go.
Raise your head.” It’s a line that, while acknowledging the sorrow, still conveys the resolve to move forward to defeat their arch-enemy, Muzan Kibutsuji.
Because his own life was shattered by demons, his determination to fight so that no more sacrifices are made feels fitting for Gyomei Himejima, the pillar at the heart of the Demon Slayer Corps.
It’s a quote that resonates with firm resolve and unwavering determination.
