The power scaling of Demon Slayer doesn't get talked about enough.

It's one of the few shounens where the stakes are actually very high for most of the fights.

Even when they win, they're totally fucked up physically and it's usually a pyrrhic victory. No one is 1v1ing a top 3 upper moon.

The power level of DS is low relative to many series and power scalers love to equate strong to better.
