I highly doubt it.
Personally, I figured it balanced out because he was able to beat one of the Spider Family members by himself, while Inosuke and Tanjirou got trashed by their opponents. Then Zenitsu sat out the major fight of the next arc, but still had a job to do.
I believe that the spider father might've been the strongest of the family after Rui since he was the only one with two forms, so it's not fair to give the edge to Zenitsu in this regard* when his oponent might've been considerably more weak. Also after that fight, Inosuke and Tanjirou killed Lower Moon 1 without Zenitsu taking part of the fight (against the main body) so I think they were already balanced by the time they got to the red light district.
I know but the arcs have been structured as UM vs Pillar so far, even here we got two upper moons with only two pillars to face them (unless others join) Kanao and genya could be incorporated into shinobu and sanemi storyline (or take their pillars spots when their teachers die rip). really if rock and snake didn't exist I'd say we reached the climax. Anywho the author has succeeded in implementing "no body is safe" how relaxing
It will feel cheap to get new, even more powerful enemies all of sudden, especially since muzan killed the lower moons, well we'll see if this happen it might turn out good idk. I have high hopes for douma his design is cool and have been around since daki/gyuutarou were human, and well #1 is #1 and a lot of mysteries, akaza got flushed before so maybe the last 3 will be catastrophic, heck hantengu isn't dead yet and he's above gyokko.To ease your mind, they're lurking on the inside cover and vol.12 introduction page, they haven't been forgotten xD add to that zenitsu is ranked #2 in the popularity poll no need to worry about him. More importantly if he sees Kanroji A] explode B] become the strongest pillar,kill muzan, marry her. story end. They can't be in the same place.
The problem with this though is that there are no more enemies for the boys to fight in order to get stronger aside of the remaining 4 Upper Moons, Biwa and Muzan, before those, there were the lower moons but Muzan wiped them out and even if they were still alive each one of the boys is already at a level where they would beat them individually without much Issue, which wouldn't be too helpful in acquiring the strenght to fight back an Upper Moon, that's why I think we're in need of more strong and new enemies, because otherwise we're left with only 5 major demons (not counting Muzan and implying Hantengu will survive) for Tanjirou (and Nezuko), 4 side characters and 7 pillars that still need development (all of this without thinking about the eventual grudge match between Tanjirou and Akaza that was set up already).
I'm betting 3 or 4 more will die by the series' end.
Didn't it take Gyuutarou and Daki hundreds of years to get to their postition? since eating more humans to endure more of Muzan's blood is how we've known that demons can get strong (the upper moons being the ones with the biggest concentration of Muzan's blood), this is why I believe that if more enemies/demons will be introduced to the story, it will be by unconventional methods, remember that Genya had a different smell in the final selection compared to the second time Tanjirou met him at the butterfly estate so something most likely happened to him in the time gap between both meetings, and Muzan might use something similar in his favor.
Giyuu + shinobu + maybe rock so you know we have 5 empty spots for the kids, and naturally successors take over their teachers. (some of them might not die like uzui)

. I really don't see what about her body makes her so undesirable, maybe it's a Japanese thing. Makes me wonder how interchangeable are these rankings in arm wrestling.
Assuming she was really not holding back, she is the N.3 in arm wrestling at best.
Still wouldn't be a bad position to hold seeing as how more than half are interchangeable.
