Giyu is called the "fake Hashira" because of his deep-seated survivor's guilt from the Final Selection, where his best friend Sabito sacrificed himself to save Giyu, leading Giyu to believe he didn't deserve the title, even though he became a powerful Demon Slayer and eventually a Hashira. He felt unworthy because Sabito did most of the work to pass, and Giyu only survived due to his friend's sacrifice, a feeling that made him hesitant and self-doubting throughout the series.
Giyu was essentially unwillingly promoted and likely moving on autopilot, so he was not trying to become a Hashira at all. Giyu ``renounces'' the title only because they are all being forced to do training and he doesn't think he's qualified.
The current Water Hashira; he is the first Demon Slayer that Tanjiro comes across. He initially tries to kill Nezuko, but reconsiders after seeing her protect an unconscious Tanjiro.
Master Swordsman: Being a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Giyu is one of the most powerful and skilled swordsman in the entire organization.
Giyu Tomioka: The Water Hashira, who is often reserved and was the first Hashira to encounter the protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado.
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.
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.
Sanemi and Obanai rank low as their actions and abrasive personalities make them less likable.
Giyuu Tomioka
Two words: Concupiscent and moderately-paced. He starts with a kiss on your cheeks until it reaches your luscious lips, and trust me, this guy does not hold back, he doesn't like disingenuousness and which is why he'd always be giving 100 percent.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There is no clear evidence of a romantic relationship between them. Giyu's relationship with Shinobu appears to be strictly professional and platonic.
Akaza smiled at Tanjiro and probably Giyu too since the shot before that, Tanjiro pushed Giyu away from the range of Akaza's attack. Akaza is genuinely relieved these two are actually alive and he developed genuine respect for them both for their strength.

Shinobu Takatsuki (高槻 忍, Takatsuki Shinobu) is a gay character from Junjou Romantica.
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.
Fun fact: nezuko's favorite hashira is sanemi.
Tengen is literally stated to be the fastest Hashira.
Enter: Kibutsuji Muzan! Tanjiro's Most DANGEROUS Enemy!!
