Check it out:

Shortly after returning to the fight, Muichiro awakened a mark on his face that made him stronger and faster, enough to surprise Gyokko . Like Muichiro, a special mark also appeared on Tanjiro's face when he faced Gyutaro and Hantengu . This mark originally appeared on an Oni Slayer, whose heart rate and body temperature increased to superhuman levels.

Such a situation only occurs when the Terminator is in an intense life-or-death situation, as was the case with Muichiro and Tanjiro. The manga reveals that the other Hashiras are also capable of awakening this mark, but this only happens in the later arcs of the series.

Synopsis:

After defeating Upper Moon 6 in the Entertainment District, Tanjiro must travel to the Blacksmith Village to forge a new sword, as his old one has been damaged. However, along the way, he encounters new demons sent by Muzan, the main villain, with a mission to kill the blacksmiths. Without the blacksmiths, the hunters will have no swords to fight the demons. So Tanjiro and his friends must fight the demons of the Upper Moons again to stop them.

Thus, the first season of Demon Slayer premiered in April 2019 , becoming a hit with the film. The second season premiered on December 5, 2021, in Japan. Finally, the third season premiered on Crunchyroll following the release of the film To the Swordsmith Village – World Tour on February 2 in Japan.
