10th Place: The Scene Where Nezuko Shrinks and Runs Away

10th place goes to Nezuko, who runs away after Tanjiro tells her to. The moment Kanao targets him and he is about to be cut, he shrinks his back, transforms into a child, and escapes with the cute sound of his footsteps making "tote te te te." He is eventually cornered, but is saved when a crow messenger orders him to be taken back to headquarters.
Meanwhile, Tomioka and Shinobu...

Shinobu's stepsister, Kanao, was chasing Nezuko and trying to kill her, but at the same time, Tomioka was holding Shinobu in an armlock to allow Nezuko to escape. Then, when I tried to fill in the gap by talking about something from two years ago, Shinobu asked me, "Are you still holding a grudge because I told you I didn't like you?", which really hurt me.
No. 9: The Scene Where Shinobu Suddenly Appears from Behind the Enemy

No. 9 is the scene where Shinobu suddenly appears behind the demon, the family member of the Lower Rank Five. This scene is exactly when the demon is about to release threads to melt the soldiers inside the cocoons and eat them, but when Shinobu suddenly and silently appeared, I was frozen in place and unable to even react.
8th Place: The Scene Where a Muscular Mouse Walks By

8th place goes to the muscular mouse, Tengen's messenger "ninja beast"! This scene was quite shocking (lol). He's wearing a ninja-like forehead protector, and his muscular appearance is beyond belief! He carries around a sword that appears to be quite heavy, and although I don't know what kind of special training he has, he seems to be quite smart. I personally like the "whack" sound effect!
7th Place: The Scene Where Tengen Failed to Say His Final Words

7th place goes to the scene where Tengen tried to say his final words to his wife... Seriously injured and poisoned, Tengen was on the brink of death, so he tried to leave his final words to his wives. However, one of his three wives made a big fuss! He interrupted Tengen and was unable to say the final words before the poison took hold and he was unable to speak. This scene was portrayed comically, so I had a feeling they would be saved, but...
Nezuko is Tengen's savior

Just when Tengen was about to give up, thinking it was all over, Nezuko suddenly appeared before the four of them. Nezuko uses her Blood Demon Art to burn poison when she touches Tengen, and removes the poison from his body. However, the scene looked so fiery that one of my wives got so angry that she almost spanked me (lol).
6th Place: The Scene Where Kanroji Runs Over

6th place goes to this scene, which I personally love. When Tanjiro arrives at the village where swordsmiths live, Kanroji runs up to him crying, but when Tanjiro sees her wide-open chest, he warns her, "Your breasts are about to spill out!" What's more, the fact that he seriously said "It's dangerous!!" twice made for a rather hilarious and memorable scene (lol).
5th Place: Nezuko's Awakening Scene

5th place goes to the scene where Nezuko transforms into an adult when Tanjiro is in trouble, and her transformation into a demon progresses! Her body is covered in visible markings and veins, and a horn, a sign of her demonic nature, has grown from her right forehead. Nezuko's power and regenerative abilities dramatically increase, but she loses her sense of self and is on the verge of becoming a true demon.
Tanjiro's lullaby calms her down.
4th Place: The Scene Where Urokodaki Reads His Letter

4th place goes to the scene where all the Pillars gather before their Master, kneel, and listen to what he has to say. The Pillars usually have such strong personalities that they hardly ever get along, but when they're in front of the Master, they show a strong sense of unity. On this occasion, they were talking about Tanjiro and Nezuko, and although they were a bit noisy about how Nezuko was being treated, they fell completely silent when the Master put his finger over his mouth.
Third Place: The Final Scene of the Gyutaro Siblings

Third place goes to the final scene of Gyutaro and Daki. After being decapitated, the two roll around facing each other and begin a fierce argument. The fight escalates, and Gyutaro almost says, "I wish you'd never been born"...but at that moment Tanjiro covers Gyutaro's mouth and says, "That's a lie."
Daki bursts into tears. But in the end, they'll be together...

The two of them vanished into ashes. Giyutaro prepares to go to hell and begins his journey. Then he meets Daki. He sees her transformed into her human form. As Giyutaro falls into Hell, he tells Daki, "Go in the opposite direction, into the light." However, Daki, crying, jumps on him, saying they'll be together forever. The two of them fall into Hell together.
Second Place: The Scene Where Nezuko Protects Tanjiro from Tomioka

Second place goes to the scene early in the series where Nezuko, transformed into a demon, desperately tries to protect Tanjiro! At first, she was trying to kill Tanjiro due to the effects of her demonization, but when she saw him knocked unconscious by Tomioka, she took advantage of a momentary opportunity and ran to Tanjiro. At this point, Tomioka also thought she would be eaten, but Nezuko's actions were to protect him. Surprised by this, Tomioka knocked Nezuko unconscious and decided to let her go rather than kill her.
No. 1: Rengoku's Final Scene

No. 1 is, of course, Rengoku's final scene. While he's the only Pillar character to die to date, he passed away with a smile, leaving behind many memorable lines. By the way, this smile comes from the scene where Zenitsu, who has already passed away, looks at his deceased mother, asks her if he did what he had to do, and is praised for "doing a great job," before passing away with joy.
Famous Scene Rankings

What do you think of the rankings so far? To be honest, there were many other great scenes and it was hard to decide, but I decided on the last scene of Rengoku. I'm sure I'll get in trouble for not including the great scenes of Zenitsu and Inosuke, but I'll stop here for now (lol).
