World Demon Slayer it's so expansive that its narrative doesn't really seem constrained by a single point of view. Although Tanjiro's story is the heart of the entire series, most of the characters have their own stories, motivations, and tragedies that are strong enough to exist independently. Some influenced the outcome of the series, with some stories taking place years before the series even began.
These characters don't just exist to get the attention of the fans, they are the goldmines of the story. Their lives are full of unresolved questions, unknown struggles, and emotional curves that could stand on their own. He should Demon Slayer still growing outside of their central premise, they're characters that could handle leading their own series.

Lady Tamayo
Tamayo was involved in one of the most important tasks of the show, being the only person who could weaken Muzan in a way that no sword could ever do. Her smarts, self-control, and sense of justice allowed her to become a quietly indispensable part of the story, even as she worked away from the limelight.
A show about Tamayo could focus on how she turned into a demon, the tragic incidents that occurred as a result, and the difficult and painful road to redemption. Seeing her deny Muzan's influence, go against her own nature, and give her life for the people would make for a deeply emotional and morally ambiguous story.
7
Kokushibo
Despite the fact that the manga tells the story of Kokushibo, it barely covers the demon's centuries-long life. His downfall is one of the most chilling what-ever scenarios in the series, as he was once the second most powerful demon slayer.
A standalone story would explore more deeply his life since he was transformed into a demon, how he acclimated to it, how he defended his actions, and how he eventually became the most powerful of Muzan's followers. The fact that he had his inner conflict, that he rivaled Yoriichi, and that he gradually became jealous makes him an interesting character to follow.

Gyomei Himejima
The mystery behind Gyomei's story is already one of the most elaborate and wonderfully written in the series, and everyone knows him as the strongest demon slayer of the current generation, but much of his life has yet to be discovered. His past before the orphanage, the tragedy that befell him, and the quiet determination that followed all warrant further exploration.
A series dedicated to Gyomei would highlight his development under his Master, how his education made him a subject of discipline, faith and focus that made him the character we know. Gyomei has the power of acceptance and responsibility (unlike other characters who are motivated by rage or ambition), which would give Demon Slayer a whole new emotional dimension.

Not all anime Demon Kings are inherently evil, but they are all definitely overpowered MCs and not to be messed with.

Muzan Kibutsuji
Although Demon Slayer the series centers around Muzan, his origins more myth than story. It would be chilling to see the whole journey he went through to get to where he is and how he slowly lost all humanity, creating countless demons and his entire journey to find immortality over the centuries.
A story centered on Muzan may discuss how he was human in the early years of his life, how he feared death, and how he was driven past the point of no return. Even more effective would be watching his personality and his humanity slowly erode as he becomes the Demon King.

Inosuke Hashibira
One of the most popular and funniest characters in the series is Inosuke. However, behind the crazy energy there is also a somewhat tragic background. He grew up in the mountains without any contact with human society and lived by his own instincts instead of being guided.
The individual series would discuss how Inosuke was raised as a feral, how he developed his own breathing technique through trial and error, and how solitude shaped his own vision of the world. The idea of seeing his story attempted in a main series adaptation would have become much more compelling after fans learned of his tragic birth and his story. His narrative would be full of absurdity, brutality and quiet emotional development.

Kyojuro Rengoku
Rengoku's story was indeed spectacular already, as Tengen would say, but fans would love to see more of it. Born to one of the most powerful Flame Hashirs of his time, he was emotionally neglected by his father and had to learn everything on his own and went on to defeat one of the strongest demons and even save Mitsuri from a lower moon demon.
However, Rengoku became Hashirou all by himself and earned the respect of not only his allies but also his enemies. He even trained Mitsuri who also became Hashira which clearly shows his strength and training prowess. Rengoku also burdened the Upper Moon Three, Akaza, even though he was tired from the previous battle. A continuation of Rengoku's story would tell his story of how he became Hashira, his struggles with the Lower Moons, and how his optimism was tested time and time again in the world.

Akaza
The fandom has one of the strongest love-hate relationships with Akasa. Fans praise him for his discipline, strength, respect, and strict personal rules of not consuming any females, but on the other hand, he is absolutely hated because he was the one who killed Rengoku. It is precisely this contradiction that makes him interesting.
Once fans learned about Akaza's tragic human background, many fans fell completely in love with him. The internal struggle and how parts of his humanity endured centuries of violence could be the subject of a special series dedicated to his early life as a demon.
1
Yoriichi Tsugikun
Yoriichi is by far the most powerful human and demon slayer in the entire series. His power was so great that even Muzan called him a true monster. A show with Yoriichi as the focus would be unmatched and much loved.
The emotional complexity would consist of his loneliness, his guilt at not being able to save his family, and the weight of being stronger than the world could understand because all he wanted was a peaceful life. Kind of ironic because his brother got exactly what Yoriichi wanted and what he wanted was to be the strongest. It would not be a story of struggle, but of loneliness at the height of life.
