Summary
"We Hashira are stronger than everyone else. We are the Pillars that support the Demon Slayers." - Tomioka Giyuu, "Tomioka Giyuu Gaiden: Chapter 2"
As the Insect Pillar, Kochou Shinobu deals not only with being an esteemed Demon Slayer leader, but the foremost medical practitioner for the Corps as well as the caretaker of the Butterfly Girls. The deaths of her loved ones have defined her greatly, and she wields a blade that never wavers.
That is, she thinks she does.
Because in truth, pillars, even those of the Demon Slayer Corps, will waver whether they like it or not, and sometimes, they need support to keep themselves upright in the worst of times.
