As Mitsuri wakes up, she promises that she will always protect people and never lose against the demon. Thus, she attacks Zohakuten with more formidable power and strength, with a marking appearing on her chest.

Also, she has an eight times stronger muscular structure than an average human, even though she has thin muscles, which explains her superhuman strength, due to which she was capable of defeating sumo wrestlers.
She also had a big appetite since childhood. And as a result of all of these factors, she had trouble getting married and encountered rejection from every guy she met.
Later, as she joined the Demon Slayer Corps, she met Ubyuashiki, who said that the power she contained was a gift from God, and those who talked foul were jealous of this power. Everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps made her feel welcome. In the present, Mitsuri’s past helped her solidify her resolve and stand strongly against Zohakuten.
