</tabber>
Attack Potency: Building level+ (Comparable to Base Sanemi in sparring. Parried attacks from Akaza), higher with Demon Slayer Mark (Should be comparable to Marked Sanemi. Cut Akaza's neck.

Stamina: Superhuman (Likely took Urokodaki's training, which involved training in a mountain with low air, and constant traps. Superior to Tanjiro who endured extremely taxing training for seven days non-stop with no food, no sleep, and only a small amount of water from rain, later drained for even greater stamina, was also getting injured frequently during the training session. Far superior to Inosuke who can hunt for 3 days. Hashira can train for months through training that almost puts them on the verge of death. Fought Lower Rank-level demons in the Infinity Castle for nearly 5 hours on top of fighting Akaza)
Range: Extended Melee Range; Several Meters with Breathing Styles
Standard Equipment: Standard Nichirin Katana (A blade made from metals that absorbed the light of the sun, they cause demons to completely disintegrate if they are decapitated with them, as they are weak to sunlight, which in the case of demons which have assumed a form where they don't have a neck or head in the traditional sense can be done by slicing something that's equivalent enough to the neck, demon limbs that are sliced off and constructs created through Blood Demon Arts that are bisected through a Nichirin sword are also subject to the disintegration, stabs and slashes with a Nichirin sword can dispel the effects of Blood Demon Arts and can temporarily weaken a demon's power and abilities if directed at the neck), Demon Slayer Corps Garbs (Protects from the claws and slashing attacks from weaker demons, and resistance against fire, water and cold)
*Optional Equipment: A rope.
Intelligence: Gifted (Possesses great tactical intellect. Created his own technique within the Water Breathing)
Weaknesses: None Notable.
Notable Attacks and Techniques:
*: A Breathing Style that mimics the element of water, specifically the flow, flexibility, and adaptability of the liquid and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques involve the user bending their body, arm, and weapon in a flowing motion, allowing users to unleash flowing water-like attacks and fluid deflection of incoming physical attacks. As the Water Hashira, Giyu is the current generation's most skilled Breath of Water user.
**: The user generates enough momentum to create a powerful single concentrated slash.
**: The user leaps and vertically spins forward in the air while releasing a flowing attack in a circular motion.
**: The user swings and bends their blade in a winding motion along with their body and dances in a flowing pattern, slicing everything in its path.
**: The user makes multiple consecutive slashes while twisting their body and sword in a flowing fashion to deliver multiple blows simultaneously.
**: The user changes the grip on their sword and decapitates the opponent in a single flowing strike that causes little to no pain. It is a “sword strike of kindness” used when the enemy willingly surrenders.
**: The user fiercely twists their upper and lower body, creating a whirlpool of air that cuts anything caught in it. Its effect and efficiently is enhanced underwater, where the user can draw water around their weapon to enhance their slashes.
**: The user performs a fast and accurate stab, capable of reducing the impact of a moving target.
**: The user cuts the target vertically in a flowing motion which is most effective when they are falling downward.
**: The user changes their footwork in a way that minimizes the landing time and surface needed when landing, allowing the user to move without limits. Ideal when fighting in a place with no solid foothold.
**: The user performs a continuous flowing attack which seemingly takes the form of a water dragon that increases in strength and power with each rotation due to momentum.
**: A form of his own personal creation, the user ceases all body movements and enters a state of complete tranquility, deflecting, blocking and cutting any incoming attacks with imperceptible speed with his blade. However, its effectiveness is limited as fast and numerous attacks can break through.
