I think it’s time to lose my marbles. This is NOT soefire!

I don’t care if you all agree or disagree, I’ve seen a lot of activity with Hashira tier lists and it has gotten me curious.

I will be starting from 9 and begin ascending to 1.

For this post I’ll start by saying that I don’t automatically put marked slayers above non marked slayers and instead go by their feats. The Hashira are also not “blitz tiers” above one another.

While I’m busy with behind the scenes SfS work I’ll begin my work of scaling since I don’t do it often.

Wanted to give a bit of background of myself as a listener before listing the order of songs for those who might not be able to read the text on the image. I first discovered Don Toliver through "No Idea" and "Lemonade" in 2021. I didn't really pay much attention to him as an artist until I listened to JackBoys 2 last year where he had several features and January this year when he dropped Octane. I listened to the entire album and claimed it as a 10/10. Then I went back and listened to Donny Womack, Heaven or Hell, and two other albums, and now we're here.

I wanna clarify that these are songs I manually added to my playlist, and like every song that I ranked, if a song is low in your opinion then I just liked other songs more than that one. Now for the 78 songs/4 hours and 2 minutes of music ranking:

1. [S Tier] Lemonade (The OG song that still hits to this day, even if it technically isn't Don Toliver's song, I still count it.)
2. No Idea (My first Don Toliver song. No other song went above this except for Lemonade.)
3. E85 (My new Don Toliver sensation and undoubtably my favorite song from Octane, though the album is so good that my favorite song shifts depending on the day.)
4. Excavator (The instrumental and hook are addicting, and the rest of the song is super catchy. The second half gave me my favorite Don Toliver vocal stim in the form of "Lil Deeeeeers")
5. Heaven or Hell (The second verse is so fire and Don really rides the flow well. The whole song is good enough to justify its placement.)
6. ATM (There hasn't been a single time that I haven't enjoyed ATM)
7. No Pole (I LICK THE SPOON AND I SCRAPE THE BOWL. My current vocal stim.)
8. Gemstone (I have a thing for sampled instrumentals and the angry-ish rapping he does, and this is my favorite song that he does that on.)
9. AMG (The best song on Donny Womack no discussion. As soon as I reached it I knew that it was an instant S-Tier.)
10. Holdin' Steel (This song has been growing on me a lot lately. The more I listen to it the more I like it.)
11. Run Up (I tend to take a liking to songs that have vocals in the back.)
12. Can't Feel My Legs (The instrumental does it for me, and so does the bridge and hook. Never a skip.)
13. [A Tier] All The Signs (I used to not like the second half of the song but did like the switch in instrumental. I've learned to appreciate the entire song.)
14. Secondhand (If I allowed prior bias instead of listening to all of the songs then Secondhand and All the Signs would have been swapped for sure. I come back to Secondhand more that ATS most of the time, and the song has good loop/replay value.)
15. TMU (This song has a catchy chorus and verses that you can follow without getting bored.)
16. Wasted (I deadass forgot how Wasted sounded when I ran through it. Overall great song)
17. Rendezvous (I haven't hear Yeat in a while and he did his thing in the intro and hook. The ending of this song is very beautiful.)
18. After Party (The meme capybara yadda yadda. The song is good outside of the memes and Don really went in with the first verse.)
19. K9 (Don was rapping so good that I thought he was Offset/Quavo in the second verse. His voice in the hook is out of this world.)
20. Pleasure's Mine (The chopped up sample is addicting. I'm in love with it.)
21. Rosary (I myself didn't want Rosary to be lower than 15 but I just kept putting songs over it. Travis didn't come short and Don didn't overshadow Travis or vice versa.)
22. Opposite (A lit song that does its job.)
23. Body (I thought this would be at S Tier before I got to it, but its position isn't bad or unearned. This is the only song that I add my own adlibs to unironically.)
24. Can't Stop (Ngl Future's chorus and the "All In" section carried the song to where it is as that's all I based this song off when I ranked it.)
25. Let Her Go (Another song carried by my favorite part of it, but I like the other bits of the song nearly just as much.)
26. Tuition (The instrumental puts me in a sort of trance whenever I listen to it. He also does that thing with his voice that I like but I can't describe it. He just kinda sounds like an alien at some parts idk.)
27. Spaceship (Another song from Heaven or Hell that I forgot about. This song's "I I I" part solidified its placement. The name of the song is also ironic since people say that Don Toliver has a non-earthly sound.)
28. Kryptonite (I really like the "Don't be afraid know just what you're better than" part. I was lowkey mad that this wasn't repeated but the rest of the song is good for what it is.)
29. No Photos (I was rolling at like 11-12 PM when I first listened to the HoH album because wth do you mean you sent my girl back home in new clothes? Shit's outrageously funny for no reason.)
30. Talk No More (The third verse is my favorite because he said something about longitude and latitude + the "Knowing that I'm mad at you, you do it anyway" and then there's the bar where he says the girl's perfume is whack, reflecting his young energy back in 2018.)
31. Sweet Home (I didn't really like this song much initially but I have learned to like the entire song.)
32. Call Back (Another song I don't touch much and also didn't really like at first. I probably about "You a top 10" because the hook is really great.)
33. Tore Up (The song that was the benchmark for literally every song in A tier. I'm not kidding either. It was one of the first songs in my playlist.)
34. Cinderella (I like the main chorus of this song a lot. Don Toliver as an artist handles romantic songs really well.)
35. Attitude (I was playing Minecraft at 12-5 AM when I was listening to Hardstone Psycho and I gained some energy at the sudden intermission of Charlie Wilson. Gave me a late night/early morning morale boost as I was getting my ass whooped by the warden. The instrumental is very nice.)
36. Glock (OH MY GOD WHEN I'M IN THE CLUB)
37. New Drop (One of the Don Toliver songs I kept hearing last year/two years ago before I started actively listening as a fan.)
38. Deep in the Water (The way he rides the instrumental and varies his flows without treading too far from the vibe of the song is nearly perfect. I like the hook/chorus a lot.)
39. Last Laugh (This song is okay for what it is and its ranking is deserved. I didn't like the laughing part at first but that was most likely because I was tired and the warden kept beating my ass.)
40. Hardstone National Anthem (This song is really good but in my opinion I would have put this song at the beginning of the album instead of the end, though Kryptonite is not a replaceable as first so idk.)
41. 5 to 10 (It's a good vibe and for me better to listen to at night.)
42. Inside (Another romantic-ish song but Travis does the chorus. There's nothing wrong with this song at all.)
43. Purple Song (A good romance song with my boy Future)
44. Backstreets (I keep forgetting how the HS songs sound as I'm writing this rn 😭 43-44 I had to go to TikTok and search it up. But for this one Don Toliver does that lazy flow and it's good when matched with a slower paced song.)
45. 4x4 (This one was lower than I expected but I liked the other songs better so iiwii.)
46. Ice Age (Travis' verse was better than Don's for me idk but still a good song.)
47. Bandit (I forgot about this song completely but ride the bus idk.)
48. Brother Stone (Kodak did what Kodak does but all the other songs on HS are better in my opinion.)
49. Bus Stop (A quick paced jumpy song. The other voices made the song sound fun.)
50. Company P3 (Beautiful for what it is and makes me feel lovey dovey.)
51. Slow Motion (Another song that makes me feel lovey dovey)
52. Do it Right (Catchy song and I forgot how it sounded so I went to TikTok to remind myself. This is the song attached to Don Toliver's ironic dance to at the gas station. I didn't know that beforehand but I know now.)
53. Encouragement (A nice ending song for Love Sick.)
54. Cardigan (This is a good song, another case of me liking other songs more.)
55. Leave the Club (That "Ooh baby please" gets me every time.)
56. Private Landing (That alien voice again man it never fails to catch me.)
57. Euphoria (A nice slow song that I would likely listen to while working.)
58. Bang Bang (This one barely made A Tier and has stayed at the bottom of A Tier since I placed it.)
59. [B Tier] 2 Lil Shorty (Young energy and a nice instrumental to match.)
60. Moneymoon (I don't know why I like the intro so much but the rest of the song is very good and has catchy moments all throughout.)
61. Leather Coat (A good vibe that I keep forgetting about. More exposure will do this song justice)
62. Time Heals All (Lil Durk and Glorilla do their parts well. The song is really well managed.)
63. Go Down (The echo to Don's voice makes me feel something idk what it is but I like it a lot.)
64. Mama Mia (Goofy sounding song but he makes up for that with his verses.)
65. Backend (Bro is NOT bad like Michael Jackson. Nothing bad to say about this song at all.)
66. Long Way To Calabasas (Before I get struck by lightning for an Octane song being this low just hear me out. It's nice, slow, and Don has some vocal range, but I just like the other songs more than this one.)
67. 4 Me (Techno-ish instrumental and a catchy chorus.)
68. Diamonds (All I can say is that pressure does indeed make diamonds.)
69. Issues (I like the instrumental and hook but the rest of the song is kinda all over the place with young energy)
70. Lovesickness (Another slower song that he does a good job flowing on.)
71. Tiramisu (Another low ranked Octane Song. I don't skip songs at all but at times I just don't wanna hear Tiramisu over other songs from Octane.)
72. Diva (I like his flows on this song and the instrumental is simple.)
73. Around ("Are you around?" being sung as the chorus is a newish feel. You don't hear him really sing that much.)
74. Had Enough (I like this song but other songs are definitely better.)
75. Company (Another slow song that is where it is because I like other songs more.)
76. No Comments (He kinda overdoes it with the autotune here but it makes him sound like an alien so I don't mind it at all.)
77. Candy (Don't have anything to say I just like the other songs more.)
78. [C Tier] Video Girl (I used to like it more but it hasn't been hitting for me lately.)

That concludes my post.

Ts is NOT flashy 💔

Why do my favorite people always disappear? Not only was he one of my favorite members but he also inspired the style that SfS S2 follows. He was also my Tanjiro… I think I’m gonna lose it…

Following the death of both The Beast Hashira, Driver, and the Upper Moon Three, Mounim, demon sightings have dropped significantly.

Wise sat down with the master, who knew that he had family in the Yoshiwara District. Word has spread that one of the oiran were kidnapping and killing small children and unsuspecting wanderers.

Wise's face dimmed at the thought, a demon taking advantage of the people likely looking for sex and good entertainment was disgraceful.

The master assigned Wise the mission of investigating the Entertainment District and descended back to their ways of mystique, or rather just talked to the crows.

Wise took the lone journey to Yoshiwara, the safety of Entertainment District's people in mind as he finally reaches his initial destination.

After wandering and chatting with differing folk, that definitely weren't majority his relatives, he makes his way through the district's streets, a group of oiran turn up, wearing kimonos of varying color.

Wise decides against confronting them outright, and instead focusing on blending in.

A bit after changing his attire to something more environment friendly, he steps back into the streets. To his surprise, the streets are flooded with people as a new event kicks off.

Something feels off, there didn't use to be such an aura the last time he visited.

He continues forward, shimmying through the crowd as the search for the oiran is put into action.

After searching the alley ways for a few minutes, he spots a lone oiran scurrying down the alley, suspiciously looking over her shoulders to ensure nobody is paying attention.

Wise nods to himself as he walks into the alley after her, peeking out from the wall as a conversation ensued just 6 meters away.

"Yes, he's married to a woman named Riku. I can lure him out and then we-"

The sound of something slamming against wood quietly echoed through the space as a taller man began to speak maliciously to the oiran.

"I've told you the last four times that I'm tired of posing their deaths as falling onto kitchen equipment. We are going to start doing things my way or I'll kill you and everyone else living here."

The oiran gives the man a defiant glare and turns her back to him with a huff. "I have said before that your threats don't matter to me. I won't help you kill anyone else after tonight, so you'll be the one operating on my terms until the night is over, you wretched demon! I should have never continued doing business with you."

The man, finally having enough, snatches a nichirin katana from his back and violently swings it at her neck with the intent to kill her.

Wise swoops in, quickly closing the distance and grabbing the oiran out of harms way.

The man groans in annoyance, but then pauses at the sight of Wise.

Before another moment can pass, the oiran sceams out in pain, blood gushing from the lower left side of her neck.

Wise stands up and turns around, sprinting off into the distance with the oiran while trying to find help.

The demon(plskillmeplsdoit), slinks back into the darkness, and then indirectly follows the second Beast Hashira's path.

He stops when he feels that he's far enough, laying the woman on the ground as other people gather around him, looking for answers.

Wise lets out a heavy breath and shakes his head, looking up into the sky for answers. "I don't know why, but this woman has been working with the demon you all have been speculating of. Now the demon has turned on her and left her with this wound. Please get her help and evacuate the citizens while I take care of it."

Wise then zooms off, darting towards the house where his twin nichirins reside (he didn't want to make himself stand out by carrying them in the open.)

While making his way into the block that he is staying in, he's kicked through a wall by the same demon that attacked the oiran earler.

Pls points his sword at Wise, a menacing expression written across his face as he spoke.

"You're no random man, that level of speed is unachievable by anyone other than a hashira. I heard your little conversation over there, too. Now that I've caught you without your precious nichirin swords, I'll finally have my way!"

Wise got up immediately and armed himself with a nearby chair, focusing intensely on Pls, his eyes reflecting the number six.

'May Driver lend me the strength to put down this demon tonight... us Beast Hashira sure have been getting put in situations where we encounter Upper Moons lately, huh?' Wise thought

The second modern Hashira vs Upper Moon fight was seconds away from beginning...

I don’t do the “for the mods” because I could care less but I wanna do one today. Today’s ftm is relevance>Gyokko(with fih upscale)

The dust and residual flesh of the Lower Rank One scatter while the sky hues a solid grey, the night sky reflecting the void-like mystery of the Mugen train ordeal.

The young slayers, exhausted from their fight, take their respective places on the ground to rest. The Beast Hashira, dscdrivercpm-fr(Rengoku) stands ahead of the squad as their battle dismisses, the passengers are all alive and the train is still mostly intact.

Catching a horrific scent, Historical\_Stable423(Tanjiro)springs to his feet, catching the attention of the Hashira.

Then, out of nowhere a demon(mounim\_hdj9) appears stepping out of the trees.

The Beast Hashia clutches their Nichirin, staring into the eyes of the demon which reflect the number three.

The slayer squad are shaken to their cores at this revelation, and Historical can barely breathe as the scent grows stronger.

The Beast Hashira sways their arm outward, signaling for the kids to stay back.

“Remain where you are, young ones. This is a very dangerous demon that has stumbled upon us.”

Seeing the Hashira take a defensive stance, the Upper Rank withdraws a sword of his own, a thunder Nichirin.

“We aren’t much different, you and I.” Mounim began, his eyes closing in on Historical with a cold analytical glare. “You’re the kid that our lord has mentioned. Looks like I’m right where I want to be after all”

With a swing of the nichirin, the Upper Rank releases a flying blood blade right at Historical.

The Beast Hashira surges into action, slashing the blood blade in half and rendering it ineffective.

A big fight is about to break out… the first Hashira and Upper Moon battle in ages…

The mighty Beast Hashira, Driver, opens up with the Seventh Fang of Beast Breathing, kneeling with both hands spread out to try gauging any information about their opponent.

This causes confusion in Mounim, so much that he covers his hands with blood to try blocking the form.

The tension grows louder with each passing moment… The hashira’s face is conflicted, they don’t know if it’s because they haven’t mastered the Seventh Fang or the demon is simply just unreadable. Either way, the threat at hand is way too big to stay in the same position.

Driver suddenly darts towards the demon to perform the Sixth Fang using another nichirin to close in on the demon’s neck.

“Beast Breathing, Sixth Fang: Palisade Bite!”

Before Driver’s blades could close in on Mounim’s neck, he swiftly steps backwards and evades the attack, swiftly capitalizing on this moment and releasing two blood blades right at Driver.

Driver steadies their twin nichirin and firmly clutches them in a wide-armed stance as they charge forward, wasting no time to continue pursuing the threat.

“Beast Breathing, Fifth Fang: Crazy Cutting!”

Driver jumps into the air, spinning and creating 12 multidirectional slashes that destroy the blood blades and nick Mounim twice as he evades backwards, sliding back into a kneeling position as blood trickles down his body from wounds on chest and shoulder.

“That was quite the attack, huh? I’ve never seen a Beast Breathing demon slayer  before.” Mounim said with an almost unsettling curiosity, gripping his thunder nichirin.

Without speaking again, Mounim throws himself right at Driver, swinging his nichirin in a downward curved arc. His previous wounds close up and the bleeding stops.

Driver makes a quick move to remove themselves from the line of attack, rolling sideways and stopping on their knees.

“I need to close in for an attack! I’ll get there with Explosive Rush!”

In a rapid surge, Driver rushes toward using the Eighth Fang, almost immediately closing the distance with a great fury. They bring both Nichirin in an X pattern, aiming for the demon’s chest.

“Beast Breathing, Second Form: Slice.”

The cuts go through this time, and an X shaped cut sprays blood from the Mounim’s chest.

Mounim infuses his blade with his blood to amplify its power, staggering backward from the cuts inflicted on him. He uses his gushing wound to send out 4 blades. 

Driver hurries to block the slashes with the Second Fang, dismissing them as they splatter onto the ground.

Mounim loses a leg from being hit by one of the two slashes, retrieving backward to regenerate.

Seizing the opportunity, Driver goes for another Second Fang to sever more of Mounim’s limbs.

Being cornered, Mounim stabs his Nichirin into the ground, sending spikes and slashes flying up from the ground.

Driver attempts to evade, but is scratched by one of the spikes.

In an attempt to regain balance, Driver firmly plants their feet onto the ground. A moment after a large throb echoes through their entire body, causing them to slightly tremble.

Mounim smirks at this new discovery, gripping his thunder Nichirin with a sadistic smile spreading across his cheeks.

“Was that… It can’t be, right?” He says ambiguously.

With a yell, Mounim charges at Driver head on to attack them with the Nichirin once more.

Driver dodges out of the way, furrowing their eyebrows at what Mounim’s words could have meant.

Mounim begins cackling before explaining. “I see now… You were hit! You’re going to die from the poison of my blood blades soon!”

Driver takes a brief look past Mounim’s head, seeing that the grey night sky has begun to hue a yellow streak, they rush at Mounim with the Third Fang.

“Beast Breathing, Third Fang: Devour!”

The blades fly towards Mounim’s neck, quickly closing in. ‘I haven’t mastered this form, but I have to last until sunrise! I have to move!’ Driver thought. Before they could make contact, he began his Blood Demon Art: Flying Blood Sickles to produce 9 blood blades at Driver.

Pushing against their weakening body, Driver pivots and intercepts the blood blades before they could be hit again, dashes towards Mounim to behead him with the Third Fang

Mounim freezes as Driver quickly closes in on his neck and evolves to a stronger form before their Nichirin blades can make contact with his neck, creating a layer of hardened blood around his body to keep the Nichirin away.

Driver brings both blades to Mounim’s neck and the toughness of the blood layer halts the nichirin immediately.

Driver, thinking of the younger slayers, decides to go as far as possible to eliminate the demon no matter if they lived or died.

Mounim’s eyes twitch and he lets out a weak cackle as Driver’s twin Nichirin struggle against his neck. “Why won’t you just lay down and let the poison kill you?! I’m here for that boy, not you!”

Driver tunes out Mounim’s words and focuses on getting their swords through the blood layer. Despite the pulses of of the poison’s effects, Driver still keeps his hands tightly gripped around the handles of their Nichirin.

‘I’ve accepted the fate that I’ve been handed, but right now… the sun will rise soon and the kids are still vulnerable… One of us will die right here, and I am going to make sure that it isn’t me! CUT THROUGH!’ Driver though, the grip on their swords tightening to the point of numbness.

Mounim’s hardened blood cracks with audible little breaking sounds as heat travels through Driver’s blades.

Mounim’s eyes widen as a red saturation runs up the blade, leaving Mounim stuck in the same position and nullifying any chance of movement.

Shock spreads through Mounim’s face and more fragments of hardened blood break off his neck. “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!” Mounim screams.

Driver furrows their eyebrows and a long animalistic groan radiates through their throat as the desperation grows. “GgrrrrrrrrgG…”

Mounim continues to scream in desperation, trying his hardest to move but failing.

“WHY WON’T YOU JUST DIE!?! YOU’RE BEING BROKEN DOWN BY MY POISON! YOU HUMANS DON’T KNOW WHEN TO GIVE UP AND- GAH!!!”

Driver’s eyes disappear, leaving behind a veiny sclera as they emanate one last yell, their blades both completely tinged red.

“rrrRUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!” Driver yells with determination, using all of the remaining strength in their body to tear the blades through Mounim’s neck.

With FLASH and a SHING, the Upper Rank’s head flies off of his shoulders, landing about 8 yards from his body.

With a chilling thump, both Mounim’s head and body hit the ground at the same time. Mounim shrieks at this discovery and yells at the top of his lungs. 

“DAMN YOU, STUPID BODY! REGENERATE! WHY CAN’T I REGENERATE?!?”

As Mounim continues to scream, Driver drops to their knees and coughs up blood, the pulses from Mounim’s poison growing stronger.

Historical and Likelysomewhathuman(Inosuke) run towards Driver as their breathing becomes progressively more difficult to control, releasing an agonizingly loud cry as they collapse, dropping both Nichirin.

Historical yells out into the morning sky as Mounim’s body disintegrates, his voice echoing through the air with enough potency to scare the birds.

What happened to slandering no matter the cause? I for several days opened up Reddit, and not even being in the subreddit, saw posts of Tengen slander. Me, not being a part of an agenda myself, just kinda wiggled past it and did my own thing as I do in this sub anyway. But a common theme about Tengen/Shinobu slander is thay it’s usually camp based. Shinobu glazers (as you all would refer) were the main ones taking part in the Tengen slander. And now that it’s Shinobu? A total 180. Slander is fun until it’s your goat ain’t it? I have defended Tengen so badly that you would have thought that I was passed down the Tengen agenda torch.

The funniest thing about this is that I was around for the first Great Bottom Two Hashira War and the same thing happened. Tengen slander was at its peak with Shinobu’s camp pushing it and then it suddenly bit back, sending the opposing side into retreat. I predicted that this was going to happen.

The point of this post is to just slander. That’s what this sub does. We don’t scale (yes I said the S word bite me), we don’t have good debates, we slander. And don’t try to deflect the whole “It’s not slander if it’s true” shit you all were spamming either. We thrive off of slander, so slander until your heart stops.

The dust and residual flesh of the Lower Rank One scatter while the sky hues a solid grey, the night sky reflecting the void-like mystery of the Mugen train ordeal.

The young slayers, exhausted from their fight, take their respective places on the ground to rest. The Beast Hashira, dscdrivercpm-fr(Rengoku) stands ahead of the squad as their battle dismisses, the passengers are all alive and the train is still mostly intact.

Seeing the Hashira take a defensive stance, the Upper Rank withdraws a sword of his own, a thunder Nichirin.

Swiping the sword, the Upper Rank releases a flying blood blade right at Historical.

The Beast Hashira surges into action, slashing the blood blade in half and rendering it ineffective.

A big fight is about to break out… the first Hashira and Upper Moon battle in ages…

This is the third important post that you can refer to, explaining how this is going to be done. Firstly, I give the intro through narration, then introduce which chars will be present. From there, you guys fight each other. It’s all a call and response. You input, I’ll tell you the output. Then after every arc I’ll recap through storytelling. Spin for Slayer Season Two will officially begin later today, and the first arc will be the Mugen Train.

Spin for Slayer Season two begins tomorrow! I will drop a statistics clarification post either later tonight or tomorrow before everything begins. Until then, I'll see you in the next post. Feel free to ask any questions regarding the second season of Spin for Slayer.

I severely underestimated the amount of time I needed to do the builds plus things keep getting in the way I can post the builds today I promise just give me until the end of the day!!!

Someone else shall take this responsibility as OG had done so last time. You know what, my legs too. Let’s throw all appendages into the mix.
