The creator of the respiratory styles
Yoriichi left a legacy to follow for generations
When the styles of the breathing, Yoriichi's sun -breathing style was perfect so he could cut and kill demons before they could even react. He was also born with Demon Slayer Mark. Apart from his insanely high skills in Svärdmanship, Yoriichi was also able to use transparent world and selfless condition. Transparent World is a special form of improved vision that allows a user to see creatures as if they are transparent, which means they can see the blood flow and even the twist of muscles in an opponent to predict an attack. Only a handful of characters can use this technology and Yoriichi is one of them.
I think I was born with special strength in order to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji. But I missed. In the end I failed. Therefore, many more will die. And it pains me.
The selfless condition is another powerful technique that Yoriichi has and this gives him the ability to hide his battle spirit for his opponents, who can discover it and anticipate his movements. The combination of these two techniques only proves that a Yoriichi was a powerful demon layer for its time. While Demon Slayers in the present struggled to fight with Muzan, Yoriichi was able to easily take him down and send Muzan Reeling in fear for the first time in his life. Yoriichi had to land one last blow to completely kill Muzan, but Muzan could escape by blasting in pieces to avoid some death. This only event in time is also enough to prove the capacity and power that Yoriichi had and the legacy he left.
Will anyone close to Yoriichi?
Were there characters who could even match Yoriichi's power?
Although Yoriichi was recognized as one of the most powerful characters in the Demon Slayer series, there are some others who come close to matching his power. The first is Stone Hashira, Gyomei Himejima. Gyomei was so powerful that even Kokoushibo (a demon and Yoriichi's twin brother) also admitted that he was one of the most powerful people he had ever met away from his brother.

Demon Slayer: How Muzan's cowardice reveals itself
Muzan's formidable behavior causes individuals to perceive him who lack fear. Yet Muzan is actually a deep coward.
While Gyomei was exceptionally powerful, he had trained for many years to reach that level, while Yoriichi was born with divine talent. Another character that could possibly match Yoriichi is his very own twin brother -kushibo, formerly known as Michikatsu Tsugikuni, who gave up his humanity to become a demon so he would be stronger. By knowing that he could never surpass his brother, Kokushibo turned to a life to become a demon, but he still could not reach his brother's skill.
Last but not least, Tanjiro was also another character that had the potential to match Yoriichi. Since Tanjiro's ancestors unconsciously went over to him by associating with Yoriichi, Tanjiro was able to use solar to fight Muzan. Tanjiro was able to wake the full potential for sunbathing and showed abilities similar to Yoriichi. While Tanjiro could also use sunbathing and push himself past his boundaries, he could not be equal to Yoriichi in power or skill. It is safe to say that Yoriichi was the most powerful Demon Slayer ever existed and no one could
Match his exact strength and abilities, which made him a legendary figure in the world by Demon Slayer and his contribution as a Demon Slayer paved the way to defeat Muzan.
