Thoughts on the Corp Rank and Pillar System

A little self-plugging first, in one of my fics I did have the birds launch a formal complaint about the Kamaboko boys not becoming Pillars after defeating Upper Moon 6. I had Oyakata-sama answer based on growth the boys still need to do, but going by the stated criteria, the injustice remains. Plus, there's that ranking system everyone forgot about until Inosuke was like, "it's on your hand, dude." And then it was never mentioned again. How are ranks determined? Is there more necessary to being a Pillar than filling the criteria? How does that hand thing even work? So many questions, but also so many clues strewn throughout canon and beyond.

What are the ranks?

The ranking system is according to “Jikkan,” or the “Ten Stems” ordinal system developed in Japanese Onmyodo, but has its origins in theories of the Heavenly and Earthly Stems of the Five Elements dating back to very, very ancient China. Not that I think that has any special meaning to the Corp; nowadays you could compare it to the use of Roman Numerals as a counting system in English, and historically it would make sense if the system has been in place since the dawn of the Corp.

For reference, from lowest to highest: Mizunoto -> Mizunoe -> Kanoto -> Kanoe -> Tsuchinoto -> Tsuchinoe -> Hinoto -> Hinoe -> Kinoto -> Kinoe What's with the hand thing? Plot convenience, I think. But if their grip has an effect on Nichirin blades, then who knows, maybe this can believably be tied together. Chapter 75 describes it as "Toukabori" (wisteria flower tattoo), a special technique and symbol of the Corp. Their hands were pricked at the Final Selection, which Inosuke understood the purpose of but Tanjiro did not. (I suppose Tanjiro might not had been told, but that is neither here nor there.) For Pillars, the fanbooks tell us that theirs is the kanji for their Breath. For example, Giyuu's would simply say "Water," Shinobu's would simply say "Insect," etc. What is the criteria for becoming a Pillar/Hashira? Canon, fanbooks, gaiden, and light novels tell us the following criteria for being a Pillar: 1. Be the strongest user of your Breath (this is perhaps implied) AND 2. Defeat one of the Twelve Moons OR 3. Defeat at least 50 demons and be of the Kinoe (10th of 10) rank. It seems to be implied that you need to accomplish Feat #2 on your own accord in order for this to count. Hence, Tanjiro wouldn't had gotten full credit for defeating Enmu, Gyutaro, or Hantengu, for the Flame, Sound, and Love Pillars put a lot of the work into enabling him to survive those battles long enough to get the final blow. Whether or not you need to be a Kinoe before defeating one of the Twelve Moons is unclear to me. In the novels, Sanemi was indeed a Kinoe before defeating Lower Moon 1, which he did with Masachika's help. If it were simply a matter of being strongest in your Breath, this automatically makes Tanjiro the Sun Breath/Hinokami Kagura Pillar, but being a Pillar is more than being the strongest in your perhaps totally unique Breath. If that were the case, Inosuke would had been a Pillar a long time ago. But does he really display the maturity necessary for holding up the Corp? (But I guess if I phrase it that way we could give a bunch of the poorly-adjusted-to-trauma Pillars a serious side-eye.) Why nine Pillars? Can there be more? I feel like the number nine might have had more significance when the story was in development, but that its importance subsided overtime (perhaps like the importance of ranks seems to have subsided). The first fanbook tells us the number 9 is because of the number of strokes in the kanji for "hashira" (柱). I've also heard it compared to the famed nine enormous pillars (technically groupings of three enormous pillars, making it 27) that have historically supported Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine, with Oyakata-sama being like an Okuninushi-no-Mikoto (the lord of the lands, in Shinto mythology) figure. You can find other occurrences of pillars in multiples of nine in other historic pieces of grand architecture, like the eighteen pillars supporting Todaiji Temple (home to a humongous Buddha statue). But, in actuality, we only see a case of nine Pillars when Tanjiro is put under trial. It's implied that this is not the first time all nine Pillars have been gathered together, but in flashbacks from Pillar POV to other meetings, or in later events in canon, there have always been fewer than nine. In the Rengoku Gaiden, Oyakata-sama makes no secret of wanting to put Kyojuro to the test and have him join the ranks of the Pillars, for it is clear to everyone that there are openings which need to be filled (specifically Shinjuro's abandoned Flame Pillar seat, which like the Water Pillar seat has typically always been filled). Five Pillars (at the time, Water, Insect, Sound, Wind, and Rock) simply aren't enough to do all the work required of Pillars. By the Pillar Training Arc we're down to seven, but at this point they seem to be making do with that number and can instead focus on strengthening what they have. As for more than nine Pillars, I don't see it being a problem. The more the merrier, Oyakata-sama might say, and as long as someone earns that right I don't seem them getting refused a

spot. However, the bit about the nine strokes in "Hashira" in the first fanbook was in response to a question that mentions an "upper limit" of Pillars. This seems to imply that only the top nine cream of the crop will be recognized at a time. And hey, at the rate Pillars die, whoever deserves that recognition will probably get a chance at it. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE---a Q&A style Taisho Secret in volume 11 states that if there is an opening among the Pillars, someone of the Kinoe rank is chosen to fill it (it is not specified if they must be of the same Breath). If there isn't someone of Pillar caliber, however, they don't get to become a Pillar, though.

Can two people of the same Breath share the same Pillar spot?

Because Zenitsu can only perform the First Form and Kaigaku can do all but the First Form, Kuwajima Jigoro (former Thunder Pillar) had a dream of them sharing that spot together. However, it doesn't seem there is any precedent for this, and Kaigaku takes it as an insult. I see a lot of fanwork implying that, for instance, Sabito and Giyuu might share a Water Pillar spot, but even if they were both to fulfill the basic requirements, my sense is that the position of honor would fall to the stronger of the two (my inclination in this case is Sabito), but how that strength is determined might be arbitrary (whether in a matter of absolute strength, or, perhaps, strength in leadership qualities). I feel that the more junior one with Pillar qualifications, if not taken as a Tsuguko, would be treated as something like a vice-Pillar but given normal Corp assignments. (Ergo, they'd be treated like a first-in-line Kinoe as mentioned in the previous section.) When Sanemi and Masachika fought Upper Moon 1, they were both of the Kinoe rank and had potential for promotion to Pillarhood if they defeated that demon. They did, but only Sanemi survived, and he seems to stress how "only" he went on to become a Pillar even though both of them fought that battle. Had Masachika survived, I feel that instead of having a joint position (where one might fill in the inadequacies of the other, like in a Zenitsu/Kaigaku situation), just the more senior of the two, Masachika, may be granted the honor of filling the Wind Pillar seat, and Sanemi would probably be okay with that. With some exceptions we've seen throughout the Corp of swordsmen being set on promotions for recognition and salary's sake, the vast majority put the Corp's duty (to slay demons) above all else.

How long does it take to become a Pillar? In the Volume 11 Q&A, Gotouge tells us it usually takes five years, or two years if someone is fast. Whether that's 2~5 years from finishing the Final Selection or picking up the sword is unclear. For reference, the average length of time someone spends with their cultivator is one year (like Zenitsu), but they may go faster (Mitsuri, six months) or slower (Tanjiro, two years--though only one year was spent learning from Urokodaki). This set of Pillars is wicked strong and most of them seem to stomp all over this expectation, though. I'm writing this post first for reference on an attempted timeline of the Pillars' promotion rate. This set of Pillars is also especially strong, we know from the fanbooks that Kyojuro has taken other Tsuguko before but they quit because the training was too harsh, and Murata states in Chapter 134 that he's realized through the Pillar Training why the current round of Pillars generally have no Tsuguko. It's because they really are so far above the average swordsmen in skill level that every Tsuguko would get discouraged and quit. Conversely, this current round of ridiculously strong Pillars is concerned that the Corp as a whole is full of unsatisfactory swordsmen.

On that note, Giyuu has been waiting at least four years (based on his presence in a Pillar meeting flashback where Kanae was present) for some other Water Breath user to attain the criteria for Pillarhood. Despite Water Breath users being the most common among the Corp, it goes to show just how difficult it is for anyone to attain this.

What is the usual rate of promotion?

If the swordsmen are generally as poor quality as the Pillars suspect (sorry, Murata), then advancement must be slow, and a lot of them probably get killed off before they've even been around very long. With the average skill level among the Corp being so low, that's probably why the extremely skilled and/or determined members advance at such a monstrously quick rate. For example, in the Natagumo Arc, Murata has been at this for eight years and is only a Kanoe rank. Kanao passed her Final Selection probably not even two months ago and she is already a Tsuchinoto, one rank above Murata. We know Murata is doing his best, but a Taisho Secret tells us that enemies probably would only picture a very light glimmer of water effects from his sword instead of the roaring gush we see from Tanjiro. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Murata only survived his Final Selection due to Sabito's involvement. Kanao, meanwhile, seems to have more innate ability than Shinobu (at least according to Douma's observation), and being in a Pillar's household, she might have had a Nichirin blade she could use right away to start taking missions while hers was being made, and since Flower Breathing seems to stress evasion (see here and here), she likely doesn't spend as much time down with injury. Also, being in the company of a Pillar, she's probably gone straight into fighting higher level demons. This makes me assume there may be a lot taken into account when assigning ranks. For instance, the number and caliber of demons you face, how much you contributed in battle, your actual abilities in your Breath, or even if a Pillar takes you as a Tsuguko or puts in a good word for you (perhaps that was something in Genya's case, for although he wasn't an official Tsuguko, he and Kanao were of equal Hinoto rank by the Infinity Fortress arc). Also worth noting, Genya was aiming really hard for Pillar rank and probably stretched himself a bit thin. I'd like to think his abilities decreased the amount of time he spent in recovery, too. Tanjiro, meanwhile, has attained Kanoe rank by the Pleasure Quarters arc (so has Inosuke, it's probably implied that Zenitsu has too), and the three of them are all Hinoe rank by the Infinity Fortress arc (3rd from the top, and one rank above Genya and Kanao). So if this is how far Tanjiro climbs after beheading Enmu, Gyutaro, and Hantengu, then... WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE INOSUKE AND ZENITSU UP AGAINST DURING THE SWORDSMAN VILLAGE ARC??!?! I generally want the anime only to follow the manga content and only make slight additions like they have so far, but a concurrent arc to show what these two were doing? I would take that, Ufotable, I WOULD GLADLY ACCEPT THAT. Also note worthy, Kaigaku seems to had still been training at the same time Zenitsu was, though he started (and presumably went to his Final Selection) sooner. We don't know what rank he was, but he had to have been insanely talented (enough for Kokushibo to be impressed, and for Kaigaku to have not suffered immediate serious injury like Muichiro did, though this could be chalked up to Kokushibo decided early on not to harm him like that, or Kaigaku is doubled-over with internal injuries, who knows). It probably drove him cra-a-a-zy to have seen Zenitsu climb the ranks so fast, and since Kaigaku wouldn't have had the opportunity to face Twelve Moons like Zenitsu did, it's very likely Zenitsu may have been of a higher rank than him (ouch).

How does one become a Tsuguko? Are Tsuguko required?

In the name of ongoing support built into the Corp, Tsuguko are probably highly encouraged. Pillars can expect to get killed off at any time, just like anyone else, and it helps to have highly polished swordsmen ready to take their place. However, the Pillars are busy, and may not all have personal interest in training someone, and Tsuguko are not required. Swordsmen can either apply to be Tsuguko, or they might be recruited. Basically, you just need to have direct acceptance from that Pillar. I feel like I read somewhere about Mitsuri being Kyojuro's student in the context of Tsuguko discussion, but I'm having trouble finding that mention again because I want to check if she was officially called a Tsuguko or not. The reason I want to check is because she was not yet a Corp member at that time (effectively making Kyojuro a Cultivator, remarkable that he could teach her so much so fast even while keeping up his regular missions), and Kyojuro himself was not yet a Pillar. It's generally accepted in the fandom that she was a "Tsuguko" for that time, and I'm pretty sure the note I'm thinking of stressed that she was just too original and this was why she didn't become Kyojuro's successor. I know this came out will before the Rengoku Gaiden too, wherever it was I saw this.

Accepting that, this means you don't have to be a Pillar to take someone under your wing to polish them, even if they won't get official recognition like a Pillar's Tsuguko would (like how Kanao is off-limits to Tengen as she does have this official title, but Aoi is free game no matter how peeved Shinobu would be about it). Shinobu does display a strong interest in passing on her knowledge (and death wish against Douma, or demons in general perhaps), and we know she had taken at least three short-lived Tsuguko before Kanao. It's possible that she took them under her wing even while she was in the process of working extremely hard to attain the Pillar rank after Kanae's death.

Also interesting, and perhaps saying more about the Butterfly Mansion dynamics, the other household members don't seem to recall much about these dead Tsuguko like they fondly remember Kanae. I suspect they weren't treated as "family" and some distance was maintained. Kanao likewise became something different when she became a Tsuguko (and joined the Corp at all, against Shinobu's wishes). She can no longer call Shinobu "sister," but instead, "master." Knowing that Kanao now stands a very high chance of dying suddenly, it's as though Shinobu forced a professional distance (if not for her sake, then for the little girls' sake?).

Unrelated, since the main criteria of a Tsuguko is having the Pillar's approval and being someone whom the Pillar gives personal training to, then in an alternate universe, a Water Pillar Sabito could take Kinoe-rank Giyuu and a Wind Pillar Masachika could take Kinoe-rank Sanemi, meaning they essentially work as a set (the Pillar assigning missions to the Tsuguko, likely working together), train together, and have someone as a sort of predetermined back-up Pillar.

Not quite related, but how often is the Final Selection held?

For some reason I used to believe it was once a year, but I can find no indication of this. If five survivors in one week is not surprising, then at the rate swordsmen get killed off, then they most host the Final Selection many times a year. EDIT: The reason was Giyuu, chapter 130. Since he says "that year's Final Selection" a couple times, it makes it seem limited to once a year. Still, that makes me wonder how much overlap Kaigaku and Zenitsu would have had in training if that were the case.

SPREAD THE LOVE

#6 What’s a roleplay blog who’s an absolute joy to talk to ooc?

#7 What’s a roleplay blog you love whose character you didn’t know until you started writing with them?

Am I allowed to just put all my close mutals here? Seriously, it's so very rare for me to have a close friend who I do not love talking to, & I talk with them almost daily! Whether it be about plotting or IRL stuff, I love chatting with my mutals & I hope we never grow distance!

@project-rebirth Kino was the one who introduced me to the Certain Magic Index/Railgun/Accelerator series. I didn't even know any of these characters existed before he swung around, & ever am I happy to have been introduced to such a wonderous series! Touma, Accelerator, Mikoto, Aleister, Kaori, Kazakiri, so many wonderful characters I know of now that makes me wonder how I haven't heard of them before!

subject 0001483 was sold to orochimaru as a clump of cells and grown in an artificial womb in a dark room underground. it was one of the many experiments being run that was meant to see if implanting a fetus with hashirama’s cells might be more successful than other, previous subjects-- adults, children, and babies.

all subject 0001483 knows for a very long time is that stasis chamber, floating and drowning and surviving-- the moments when it’s removed being filled with excruciating pain, and then being placed back into the chamber. when orochimaru ‘abandons’ the lab and his experiments (read: finally gets busted and has to flee konoha without taking anything with him), subject 0001483, aged four, remains in the stasis chamber and watches as the rest of the ‘failed’ experiments wither and die around it.

it takes about six months for the lab to be discovered. subject 0001483 grows weaker and weaker and its vision dims and beating its tiny fists against the glass has no effect so why bother but--

it is four years old when the wren mask pulls it out of the stasis tube and carries it by the wrist to set it at shimura danzo’s feet. this is called a rescue. it is given the name kinoe and it is told this: it had been abandoned by orochimaru, the torturer and the caretaker, because it had been considered a failure. it had been left alone because it hadn’t been good enough, useful enough, successful enough to be deemed worthy of either a life or a swift death.

kinoe swears to himself that he will not allow himself to be a failure again. danzo will not abandon him too.

he learns he wasn’t so unsuccessful as an experiment soon after, once he begins being able to mold chakra and it’s discovered that he is able to use mokuton. training begins immediately, and a year or so later he is placed on active duty as a ROOT member at the age of six, mostly serving as Danzo’s personal bodyguard and errand boy, one of the old man’s best soldiers.

kinoe is eleven when he meets hatake kakashi for the first time, teaming up and learning the power of friendship and love and discovering the possibility of family. he is not yet tenzo, but he isn’t quite kinoe anymore either.

two more years in service to danzo warps him again and he hates hatake kakashi for lying to him about the meaning of friendship, and then he hates hatake kakashi for telling him the truth about the meaning of friendship too. kakashi drags him out of ROOT almost kicking and screaming. tenzo is thirteen when kakashi puts him on team ro and takes to guarding him from danzo and the old man’s ilk an enablers like a particularly unkind mutt. he is thirteen when he meets hayate and genma and gets tree-napped rather forcefully into the most normal life he can lead.

tenzo is fifteen when he meets shisui. sixteen when he meets itachi and sasuke and mikoto and learns what family and loyalty and love mean to others. he is nineteen when shisui dies and he’s twenty when the uchiha are massacred and he’s twenty one when kakashi almost bites it and all he learns from these things is this: loyalty is hard earned and harder lost.

he learns that some people deserve to die and you still can’t quite make yourself swing the sword. he learns that he is tired and he wants to keep the little he’s managed to scrounge together.

DISCLAIMER: this is my take on tsu’s ability. i’m still in the process of reading the gaiden light novel + manga, but this particular hc is based on my own thoughts and will likely diverge from canon. i'd also like to give a huge shoutout to vega / antigifted for sparking the idea of tsu's mom being a part of the ability user experiments.

❛ No wealth. No ruin. No silver. No gold. Nothing satisfies me but your soul. ❜

THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE REAPER -- as well as the source of YST / Kino no Kagefumi’s power -- is the goddess of death and creation, Izanami-no-mikoto.

Many centuries ago, perhaps even milenia, a woman found herself at what was believed to be the entrance to Yomi, land of the dead. The woman had been betrayed, abandoned by the only man she ever loved and in a moment of desperation, she prayed for retribution from the goddess who could empathize with her pain. Izanami heard the woman’s cries, but she could not come and go from Yomi as she pleased. She needed a vessel, a stake in the ground to hold her in place.

If the woman offered her body, as well as her soul, then the goddess of death would be more than happy to seek revenge against the man who had broken her heart.

The woman accepted and Izanami was alive again.

However, her power as a goddess had not been fully restored. Izanami found that she could still summon shinigami servants to do her bidding. She could also sense death and amplify the darkness lurking in a person’s heart, influencing them to give in to their darker nature. But the few abilities that she had retained paled in comparison to her true potential.

In order to unlock her former power, she had to make good on her promise to Izanagi and destroy 1000 lives.

Rumor has it that Izanami was eventually sealed away. Some accounts say that she was stopped before she could even achieve her goal. Others go to great lengths to describe the devastation she reeked before finally being stopped.

To this day, the truth remains unknown. Even Izanami herself is fuzzy on the details, but somehow her spirit hasn’t returned to Yomi. Instead, it -- along with her power -- has been passed down through the descendants of the woman who had first made the contract with her. When one chosen descendant dies, Izanami’s spirit is reborn in another.

Eventually, these chosen descendents became known as ability users and the truth behind their power became lost. All that remained was the name ‘ Kino no Kagefumi ‘ and a mysterious ability to control shadows.

Tsu’s great grandmother was one of these chosen descendants. She died before Tsu’s mother was born, but Tsu’s grandmother would recount stories to her daughter. This was how Tsu’s mother learned that her ability was like a family heirloom; inherited, rather than being unique to the person. As Tsu’s mother grew older, she learned that inherited abilities like hers were remarkably rare and it led her to begin researching the origin and nature of abilities.

Tsu’s mother made some incredible discoveries -- including the possibility of transering abilities to blood relatives -- and it wasn’t long before whispers of her reputation reached the ears of the government. Their courtship began with funding, so that Tsu’s mother could continue her research uninhibited. Eventually, though, the government recruited Tsu’s mother to not only work on, but lead several top secret projects. ( It’s possible these projects included the Arahabaki experiment, as well as early stages of the Hunting Dog program. )

As the nature of the protects crept far beyond the realm of moral ambiguity, developing tensions began to give way to conflict. Tsu’s mother became an obstacle that needed to be dealt with -- but before the government could succeed in their mission to silence her, she transerferred her ability to her daughter as a means to protect her.

It’s unclear whether Tsu’s mother knew the true consequences of her actions because she didn’t just pass Kino no Kagefumi on to Tsu. By seperating Izanami’s spirit apart from her own soul / body, Tsu’s mother gave Izanami autonomy. Something that the goddess had not experienced in centuries. Perhaps not even since she was first reborn. The division between Tsu and Izanami as opposed to Izanami existing as one piece of the chosen descendent’s soul, is what allows Izanami to manifest as the Reaper and to possess Tsu’s body as a separate entity living in the same body.

Tsu is Izanami’s second chance to become whole again.
