Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima uses a devastating spiked flail and axe connected by a chain. Unlike traditional blades, his weapon is forged with a unique alloy that has absorbed so much sunlight it can do this—a feat no other blade can do without a slayer's physical help

Turn bright red on its own (by clashing the chain and weapon pieces together, thanks to the sheer purity of the sunlight-soaked iron)

400

Doma, Upper Moon 2, uses a Blood Demon Art that creates lethal ice particles. If inhaled, these particles specifically target and destroy this organ of a Demon Slayer, making breathing techniques impossible

The Lungs.

400

 Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho cannot physically decapitate a demon due to her weak grip strength. Instead, she mixes lethal Wisteria poisons inside her scabbard. This is the specific medical/chemical method she uses to rapidly change the poison formulas mid-battle so demons can't build an immunity

Clicking/engaging a custom mechanical trigger inside her sheath (which mixes a new poison recipe every time she re-sheathes the sword)

Gyokko (Upper Moon 5) claims his true, un-bottled form is completely unassailable because his body is covered in scales harder than diamond, which are made of this material.

Flexibly Soft Pearl.

600

Serpent Hashira Obanai Iguro belongs to a clan that worshipped a female snake demon. Because his clan sacrificed their own infants to her, Obanai was kept alive only because the demon took a liking to his eyes.

To make his mouth match the snake demon's mouth (so she could drink his blood until he was big enough to eat)

When a Nichirin blade turns bright red, it significantly slows down a demon's regeneration. Slayers can achieve this solo by gripping their sword with immense physical force, or by doing this action with another slayer.

Clashing or striking their swords together

800

Muzan Kibutsuji’s anatomy is a medical nightmare. To prevent simple decapitation from killing him, his body contains this exact internal configuration of multiple hearts and brains

7 hearts and 5 brains.

800

Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa possesses an incredibly rare blood type known as Marechi. While regular Marechi blood is a delicacy to demons, Sanemi’s blood is so concentrated that it has this specific physical effect on any demon who smells it

Intoxication / making them act drunk (it severely impairs their senses and coordination).
