There's no single "saddest" death, as it's subjective, but Kyojuro Rengoku, for his hopeful smile and sacrifice, Genya Shinazugawa, for dying unheard by his brother, and Shinobu Kocho, for her vengeful self-sacrifice, are consistently ranked as the most heartbreaking deaths in Demon Slayer, alongside the tragic, young deaths of Muichiro Tokito and the unfulfilled romance of Mitsuri Kanroji & Obanai Iguro.
Demon Slayer: Characters With The Saddest Backstories
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.
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.

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.
When Giyu later hears of Shinobu's death, he expresses shock and recalls her smiling face. Shinobu also internally expressed support and worked with the other Hashira as they attempted to bond with Giyu on one occasion.
He coldly insulted Mitsuri by telling her that only a bear, boar or cow would marry her, before leaving while telling her to forget they ever met. While this was maybe somewhat understandable, his harsh insults were completely unnecessarily.
Tanjiro Kamado
His kisses are usually placed on your lips and forehead. Because he is young and inexperienced, he's still not down for french kissing and whatnot. He also likes tightly hugging your waist and pulling you closer to him when you kiss.
At the end of Season 2, Episode 12, there's a short scene that explains why Tengen has three wives, a trio of kunoichi named Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru. Tanjiro tells the audience that Tengen's family practices polygamy, the custom of having more than one spouse at a time.
In some cases, an exceptionally talented Demon Slayer can become the designated successor to one of the Hashira, known as a Tsuguko. To become a Tsuguko, a Demon Slayer can either apply for the position and get accepted, or get scouted by one of the current Hashira.
Tengen is literally stated to be the fastest Hashira.
What events lead to Muichiro Tokito's death in the series? In his battle with Kokushibo, Muichiro sustains numerous mortal wounds as a result of the demon's Blood Demon Art. Despite Kokushibo's death, he succumbs shortly after the battle. How does Muichiro's character evolve throughout the seasons of Demon Slayer?
Tanjiro Kamado is the heart and soul of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. This kind-hearted and determined boy embarks on a perilous journey to avenge his family and save his sister, Nezuko, after a demon attack devastates their lives.
After recalling the entirety of his past, Akaza began regretting his actions both as a human and a demon. He realized he had never respected his father's words to live an honest life and tainted Keizo's precious Soryu Style by using it to murder others.
Beneath Meliodas' frank and bawdy demeanor hides immense amounts of emotional pain from having witnessed Elizabeth die over 106 times.

The 90/10 kissing rule, popularized by the movie Hitch, suggests that when initiating a kiss, you lean in 90% of the way and pause, waiting for the other person to lean in the remaining 10% to meet you, indicating their consent and desire for the kiss without forcing it. This technique allows for a smooth, non-awkward initiation, giving the other person control and a chance to reciprocate, making it a polite way to gauge mutual interest.
Sanemi and Obanai rank low as their actions and abrasive personalities make them less likable.
Shinobu Kocho
Shinobu and Mitsuri get along well as they are the only two female Hashira in the Demon Slayer Corps after Kanae Kocho's death. However, Shinobu has expressed jealousy towards Mitsuri's strong body before. Nevertheless, they are good friends and have expressed a fondness for each other.

Shinobu Takatsuki (高槻 忍, Takatsuki Shinobu) is a gay character from Junjou Romantica.
They don't know his backstory, the only hashira that hate him are Sanemi and Obanai because of his attitude, they misunderstand him and they think that he thinks he's better than everyone when it's the opposite :p.
Although the manga does not directly depict the moment of his passing, according to official settings and the rules of the Mark, Tomioka Giyu ended his life at the age of 25 due to the price of the Mark. His death was not accompanied by battle and pain, but rather a peaceful departure after witnessing an era of peace.
