Well as i was saying, I nominate Tsugikuni Yoriichi from demon slayer.
Yoriichi made the power system of his verse out of nothing with no reference points to boot to take advantage of or knowledge o take advantage from, revolutionizing sword combat with techniques and knowledge far surpassing the accumulated wisdom of the 500 year old demon slayer organization that stayed standing despite fighting nigh unkillable opponents for that much time,making techniques and basics that remained unchanged for the next centuries to come, all the while remaining the strongest and most skilled swordsmen in history.
A standard he reached while barely even holding a sword for some weeks to a month at best as a 17 year old whose only prior experience with wielding a sword is learning the basic stance when he was 7.
Basically becoming the most powerful and skilled swordsmen while barely doing anything and using his time to teach others breaths, sword forms and techniques, even achieving the pinnacle of sensory perception-the Transparent world- and a hallmark of a skilled swordsmen that even the best generation in 500 years of pillars were barely able to partially access as a 7 year old child at best (likely in his sparring match with the instructor) that alongside with him being hinted at having access to the selfless state at that time to boot.
He should be vastly more skilled than Giyu, who was able to spontaneously create a new technique to match Tanjiro's for the best synergy effect just from watching his slight movements, and Far better than Akaza, who has what could aptly be described as "aim bot" "aim dodge" "auto sens" "auto counterattack" with that compass of his.
there is also his 1500 flesh cuts thing, where Yoriichi managed to cut down 1500 out of 1800 pieces of Muzan exploding away from him, where he not only reacted to the speed of the pieces being explosively ejected away from his position at high speeds in many different directions, but also have to in a split second process the fact that Muzan just exploded, think about the fact that Muzan exploded and reach the conclusion that this is an escape tactic on Muzan's part and that every single piece needs to be cut down, perceive the explosion and track hundreds of fast-moving targets flying in random directions. calculate how many there were, note their position, move and calculate the most optimal path to cut the most ammount of peices possible and strike with precise blade control to hit each one cleanly, all this before the explosion could propel any of those 1500 pieces that he managed to cut outside of his reach, all the while quantifying their volume, managing to note that the 300 he let escape, if merged, would be roughly the size of a human head.
idk may add more later...maybe
edit: oh ye and he also scales above koku who managed to read Muichiro's genome and determine his ancestry in seconds...

Yoriichi was 7 years old when he first spoke and defeated the swordmaster who was teaching Koku, showcasing his talent, only to run away to avoid stealing the successor position from his brother running for an entire day before meeting Uta, whom he spent 10 years with before getting married.
When she died, Yoriichi spent 10 days crying over her corpse until the demon hunters found him and he decided to join them, he taught them breath techniques and forms, in this same panel he said "even my brother joined after his men were killed"
when did he meet his brother?
They met 10 years after Yoriichi ran away, and then he joined the hunters where before long he manifested a mark of his own, then we see muzan soon after that statement, whom Yoriichi stated he met soon after after Koku joined the hunters which happed 10 years later per his backstory.

To note Giyu was able to match and fight Akaza, so it seems even the pillars scale to this kinda thing.Weakness Detection, Strength Perception, Precognition, Reactive Power Level, Enhanced Instinctive Reaction, Enhanced Awareness & Enhanced Accuracy with Compass Needle (Compass Needle allows him to accurately sense a person's Battle Spirit, allowing him to predict their movements, discern their location in his surroundings (even from his blind-spots), and find and instinctively aim for their weak points and vitals with such high accuracy that his attacks are described as "being attracted by magnets" and "clinging" to his opponents. Can tell someone's strength just by looking at them, was able to discern that Kyojuro was a Hashira at a glance. Can instinctively respond to attacks with an appropriate counter, was stated by Giyu to learn to anticipate his every move and strike back with equal accuracy as the fight went on. He can effectively fight and discern his surroundings and track his opponents without a head (deaf and blind) solely through detecting Battle Spirit)
