Your mission
Mizunoto for recruits, Hashira for a perfect score: your rank is decided over ten questions, and it only appears after the last one.
In the Demon Slayer Corps, everyone holds a rank, from the humblest to the most feared. It appears on the back of the hand when you clench your fist, and it says everything about the experience of the person who bears it. This Demon Slayer quiz gives you one, based on what you know about Tanjiro’s beginnings.
Ten questions, from the easiest to the trickiest: life before the tragedy, training, the Final Selection, the swords and the Hashira. Click the answer that seems right to you, the explanation appears at once, and your rank comes at the end. The questions stop at the Mugen Train: nothing spoils what comes next. To revise before you start, our page on Tanjiro Kamado, the hero of Demon Slayer retells his story from the beginning.
