Kaigaku, Zenitsu's senior fellow student under Jigoro Kuwajima, betrayed the Demon Slayer Corps by turning into a demon himself after a near-death encounter with Kokushibo, becoming an Upper Rank demon and Zenitsu's significant adversary, a betrayal that also led to Jigoro's suicide out of shame.
When Zenitsu finally met Kaigaku inside the Infinity Castle, he angrily confronted Kaigaku over his betrayal leading to Jigoro's suicide. Kaigaku callously disregarded his death, claiming that Jigoro deserved it for not recognizing him as his sole successor, and calling him a senile old man.
After that, Kaigaku encountered a Demon, which he then let into the temple in exchange for having his life spared, in order to seek revenge against Gyomei and other children. It eventually caused Gyomei to be wronged and sent into prison, until he had been rescued and joined the Demon Slayer Corps.
The only canonically LGBTQ+ character in Demon Slayer is Suma, one of Tengen Uzui's wives, who is confirmed to be bisexual and polyamorous in the series' databooks, showing affection for both men and women, including Tengen and her fellow wives, Makio and Hinatsuru. While other characters like Mitsuri are speculated to be queer, Suma is the sole officially confirmed character, with her relationship dynamic highlighting both bisexuality and polyamory within the Demon Slayer Corps.
There's no single "worst" character, as it's subjective, but top contenders for hated or disliked characters often include the sadistic demon Doma (Upper Rank Two) for his cruelty and killing of Shinobu's sister, Muzan Kibutsuji for being the source of all evil, and sometimes Kaigaku, a traitorous Demon Slayer, with some viewers finding Zenitsu annoying due to his constant screaming, though many defend him.
Beneath Meliodas' frank and bawdy demeanor hides immense amounts of emotional pain from having witnessed Elizabeth die over 106 times.
While many Hashira died in the fight, some survived: Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, and Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira, both survive the final fight, carrying on the memory of their fallen comrades. Tanjiro also survives, and after the war, the Demon Slayer Corps disbands because demons are gone for good.
Muzan has always been a rational character, but fans believe killing his doctor is the only time he regretted taking a life.
By the end of the manga, only one Hashira survives and lives a full life: Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira. The rest meet tragic ends, either in battle or due to the toll of their Demon Slayer Marks.
Kaigaku, Zenitsu's former Thunder Breathing classmate, is the weakest of the Upper Moons. Despite his impressive speed and combat versatility, he lacks experience with his Blood Demon Art. He is placed as the current Upper Moon 6 after the defeat of Gyutaro and Daki.

As further credence to his strength, Zenitsu was able to advance to the highest point of the Hashira Training.
Shinobu Kocho (Insect Hashira): Sacrifices herself to poison Doma from within. Mitsuri Kanroji (Love Hashira) and Obanai Iguro (Serpent Hashira): D*e together in the final battle against Muzan.
One of the reasons people might consider Shinobu the "weakest" Hashira is because, unlike the others, she can't behead demons, which is usually the easiest way to kill them. Instead, she uses poison to defeat them.
Giyu Tomioka is the stoic swordsman that fights using his "Water Breathing", and the Water Hashira that led Tanjiro towards joining the Demon Slayer Corps. The man in the tengu mask. He's a cultivator of prospective Demon Slayers, who lives at the foot of Mount Sagiri, and the one that trained Tanjiro.
