The battle of Yoriichi vs Kokushibo can be found in the advanced stages of the Demon Slayer manga. It's an intense and highly anticipated confrontation. The build-up and action are both masterfully depicted.
Yes, in some fanfictions, Tanjiro is depicted as the reincarnation of Yoriichi. This concept adds an interesting layer to the story as Yoriichi was an extremely powerful and legendary figure in the original lore. The idea allows for new storylines where Tanjiro might inherit some of Yoriichi's skills or have a deeper connection to the past events related to Yoriichi.
Inosuke doesn't become a Hashira in the manga. The story progresses with him having other significant experiences and achievements instead of achieving that specific position.
It's hard to give an exact number. Different story arcs and battles led to the deaths of multiple hashira. Some died heroically, while others met their fate in unexpected ways. The count changes as the manga progresses.
Definitely not. Genya remains outside the ranks of Hashira throughout the manga. This is because of a combination of factors such as his skills, experiences, and the overall direction of the story.
In a 'kokushibo meets tanjiro fanfiction', one possibility is that Kokushibo senses something different about Tanjiro right away. Maybe it's the fact that Tanjiro has a unique scent or an energy that Kokushibo has never encountered before. Tanjiro, being Tanjiro, would be ready to face Kokushibo head - on, but also be open to communication if there's a chance. The story could explore their different views on the world of demons and slayers, and how they might come to understand each other better through their encounter.
One implication is that Tanjiro may have access to Yoriichi's combat skills. Yoriichi was a master swordsman, so Tanjiro could potentially inherit his swordsmanship techniques, making him even more formidable in battles against demons.
