In episode 8 of season 3 of the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Muichiro Tokito awakened a mysterious mark on his face while fighting. It's the first time a character besides Tanjiro, but it's a special ability that other Hashira can also acquire.

Immediately after returning to the fight, Muichiro awakened a mark on his face that made him stronger and faster to the point of surprising Gyokko. Just like Muichiro, a special mark also appeared on Tanjiro's face when he faced Gyutaro and Hantengu. Originally, this mark appears on a Demon Slayer, whose heart rate and body temperature are elevated to superhuman levels.
Such a situation only occurs when the demon slayer is in an intense life-or-death situation, as was the case with Muichiro and Tanjiro. The manga reveals that the other Hashira are also capable of awakening this mark, but this only happens in later arcs of the series.
Synopsis:
After defeating Upper Moon 6 in the Entertainment District, Tanjiro needs to go to the blacksmith village to forge a new sword, since his old weapon was damaged. However, on the way, he encounters new demons sent by Muzan, the main villain of the story, with the mission of killing the blacksmiths. Without the blacksmiths, the demon slayers will have no swords to fight the demons. So Tanjiro and his friends must fight the Upper Moon demons again to stop them.
Thus, the first season of Demon Slayer premiered in April 2019, becoming a successful phenomenon with the movie. The second season premiered on December 5 , 2021 in Japan. Finally, the third season premiered on Crunchyroll after the release of the movie To the Swordsmith Village – World Tour on February 2 in Japan.
