We’re taking a slight break from our My Hero Academia Inspired Workouts spree to get some more of our Demon Slayer Hashira!
Demon Slayer and MHA are two of our most popular anime that make up a big chunk of our Anime Workouts Database, and they still continuously make up a large section of our requests.
Obanai Iguri is one of our Hashira that make up the twelve within the Demon Slayer Corps, which we’ll learn more about later, and he also made it onto our list of The Most Powerful Demon Slayer Characters – which means he’s definitely a priority to round our our Demon Slayer Inspired Workouts.
He’ll also make a great addition to our Demon Slayer Workout Placement Quiz as well.
Obanai Iguro Stats:
Real Name: Obanai Iguro
Height: 5’3
Weight: 117 lbs.
Anime: Demon Slayer
Powers: Yes
Obanai Iguro is actually really short.
His 117 pounds also makes him one of the shortest and lightest male characters we’ve seen while still being extremely powerful.
Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Obanai Iguro Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Obanai Iguro Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
Starting off with our Obanai Iguro research the same way we do for our other characters we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, which leads us off with:
Obanai Iguro is a major supporting character of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is a Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Corps and the current Serpent Hashira.
Coming off our our My Hero Academia characters and their Wiki Fandom bios it doesn’t feel as bad that Obanai’s is so short because we know we have a lot more information to work through.
When we move into Obanai’s powers and abilities section it really becomes clear that we have our work cut out for us.
They lead off with his Demon Slayer Mark:
Demon Slayer Mark: During the battle against Muzan, Obanai awakened his own mark. That took the form of three snake like tattoo patterns with large dots, stretching from his right arm to the right side of his chest that then boosted all of Iguro’s natural abilities, as seen where he was able to land powerful sword slashes against him, swiftly dodge and maneuver himself to avoid all of Muzan’s immensely fast attacks, increase his physical stamina and durability allowing him to fight despite being severely injured and greatly enhancing all of his physical sense to the point that he could easily fight despite being blinded.
From there they move on to tell us a bit more about his abilities that we’ll be working around to build out this routine:
Enhanced Strength: Obanai possesses great amount of physical strength, as shown when he pins Tanjiro Kamado to the ground with great force, with Tanjiro stating that he couldn’t move or breathe. Despite this, however, he is considered to be the second-weakest member of the current Hashira in physical strength after Shinobu.
Kaburamaru: Obanai, having always been partially blind in his right eye, developed a combat technique utilizing his snake Kaburamaru. Kaburamaru is able to read enemy attacks and then relay that information to Obanai. The full extent of this technique is demonstrated when Obanai is completely blinded by Muzan, but he is still able to continue fighting as if nothing happened.
Immense Speed and Reflexes: Although this may largely be down to the power of his crimson blade, Obanai is seen to be incredibly fast when in combat during his fight against Muzan. Even when blinded, he’s able to swiftly jump in and save Tanjiro from what would likely have been a lethal strike from Muzan’s whips when he makes a blunder, and dodge many of his next attacks which instead annihilated the buildings in the surrounding area.
Immense Stamina and Endurance: Obanai has displayed one of the most incredible feats in the series, making him the strongest Hashira in terms of stamina and endurance. He lasted the longest in the Sunrise Countdown Arc, despite sustaining the most injuries which would later prove fatal to him. However, Obanai still managed to survive over an hour in combat with Muzan Kibutsuji, when his other allies, Giyu Tomioka, Sanemi Shinazugawa, Mitsuri Kanroji and Gyomei Himejima were unconscious are incapacitated. Despite Muzan unleashing powerful attacks one after the other like his Shockwave Scream, Obanai still refused to give up and even managed to save the life of Tanjiro Kamado multiple times. Nearing the end of the battle, he still had enough energy to muster a technique.
While I won’t be teaching you how to utilize Kaburamaru, we WILL be working to build up enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, stamina and endurance.
We’ve see these type of abilities with our other Demon Slayer characters as well and for this one we’re going to be doing it while keeping in mind that Obanai Iguro has a much smaller aesthetic.
We will still be utilizing weight training to build up to our enhanced strength, but we’ll also be incorporating more endurance and calisthenics worth throughout than we have normally been within other Demon Slayer routines.
Get ready for high intensity!
