Gyomei Himejima’s famous quotes: the Stone Hashira’s profound words that resonate with the heart (1–10)
Do not impose your worthless notions on others as if they were supreme.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
A famous line hurled at Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, who pitied humans for losing their lives once their Marks appeared: “Do not force your trifling convictions upon others as if they were supreme.” It’s a declaration that squarely rejects Kokushibo’s value system—that by becoming a demon one can eternally hone and preserve body and technique.
This line prompts us to reconsider the story’s central theme of “living as a human and dying as a human.” It’s a quote that stirs the heart with both the pride of a Hashira and the dignity of being human.
What a demon can do, a human can do as well.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
During the battle, he uttered the famous line, “If a demon can do it, a human can do it,” in response to Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, reading his moves with incredible speed.
Since demons are beings transformed from humans, this line shows his confidence and conviction that he, too, can achieve the same.
In the real world as well, thinking “They’re human just like me, so I can do it too” when facing someone superior can often spur us on.
It’s a quote that sparked a comeback and helps us understand Gyomei Himejima’s strength and keen insight.
I would never have known I was strong if I hadn’t been attacked by a demon.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
Following the line, “The first time I put my entire strength into a punch, even I was terrified by its power,” comes the famous quote: “If I hadn’t been attacked by a demon, I would have gone my whole life without knowing I was strong.” These words were spoken as he recalled fighting a demon before joining the Demon Slayer Corps, when he battled to protect children with no one else to rely on.
That power was great enough to carry him to the rank of Hashira within the Corps, but it also profoundly changed Gyomei Himejima’s life and philosophy.
It’s a quote that evokes the inner turmoil Gyomei struggled with at the time.
Gyomei Himejima's famous quotes: Deep, heart-stirring words from the Stone Hashira (11–20)
I humbly pray that our lord will keep the flame of his life burning for even one day longer.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
The famous line that begins, “I pray that the master’s flame of life will burn even a day longer…” continues, “May Lady Amane also keep her heart strong…” It’s a remark that expresses concern for the head of the family, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who can no longer attend the Hashira meeting due to his worsening condition, while also offering words of care to his wife, Amane Ubuyashiki, who serves as his proxy.
Even knowing that the Ubuyashiki family has been short-lived for generations because of Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons, the wish for Kagaya to go on living conveys his presence and charisma.
It’s a quote that reflects Gyomei Himejima’s kindness and loyalty.
I see… thank you… Well then, let’s go… all of us… let’s go…Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
After the battle with Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons, there is a memorable quote addressed to the children who came to meet him: “I see… thank you… then let’s go… all of us… let’s go….” As Gyomei Himejima, who had manifested the Mark and was nearing the end of his life, drifted into fading consciousness, the children he once lived with appeared to him.
They revealed the truth of that time, and upon learning that there had been a misunderstanding, Gyomei Himejima passed away with a peaceful expression he had never shown before.
It is a line that shows that Gyomei Himejima—burdened with a harrowing past and fighting until the very end—was finally saved.
Even if it is the lord’s wish, I cannot consent.Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
The famous line directed at Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who asks them to accept Tanjiro Kamado traveling with his demon-turned sister Nezuko: “Even if it is the Master’s wish, I cannot comply.” For the Demon Slayer Corps—including Gyomei Himejima—Ubuyashiki is the supreme leader and a father figure whose words are absolute.
Yet this quote conveys even more strongly the Pillars’ refusal, as demon slayers, to tolerate the existence of demons.
When viewed alongside Gyomei Himejima’s past, it also seems to embody the conclusion reached from two factors: the very existence of demons and the plea of a child.
I see… but in that case, what’s going to happen to me…?Gyomei Himejima 'Demon Slayer'
After being told by Amane Ubuyashiki about the price of manifesting the marks that explosively power up one’s abilities, comes the famous line: “I see… But if that’s the case, what will become of me…?” It’s a simple question expressing what happens if someone is already over 25, in response to the legend that those who manifest the marks die before turning 25.
It’s later revealed that he dies shortly after manifesting the mark, but even realizing that, he still chooses to fight as a Demon Slayer—something that surely moves our hearts all over again.
