And I think it’s kinda implied that only Yushiro consented to being turned into a demon and also that the way she can turn people into demon is probably difficult for her since she’s like a demon version of the Cullens in Twilight.

Only MJ can make people into demons using blood. The high concentration means that those demons have a lot of MJ’s blood 🩸 meaning they are stronger (which is why Dr Demon said it’s a harsh request). Not all humans can handle having MJ’s blood like that lady with the two drunk dudes in the alley. She died instead of turning into a demon bec MJ injection way too much blood in her to off her.

It's more-or-less true that Michael Jackson--I mean Muzan Kibutsuji is the only demon that is able to create other demons. It's *technically* possible that any demon *could* create more demons, but it's a very *VERY* rare possibility. As Lady Tamayo said, she was only able to change one, ONE person (Yushiro) in the past 200 years into a demon. And, the way she phrased it, it doesn't sound like it's for lack of trying, either.

Translation Note #2: "Temari" (as mentioned in the Taisho-era Secret) refers to the toy balls that the female demon was throwing around.

Translation Note #1: "Hanafuda" are a type of Japanese playing card. Tanjiro wears earrings designed after those cards. Interesting but completely unrelated trivia: Nintendo actually used to make hanafuda playing cards from 1889 (when the company was founded) until around the 1970s, when they transitioned to making video games.

So MJ is the "only" 1 because he's the original demon. He can do it with ease as we saw with the first guy by scratching, and the forehead poke. As oppose to Dr Demon Tamayo who could only change 1 person in 200 years.

To comment on the silly animation at times, where characters get big eyes or little eyes, sharp teeth etc.: it's just there to "express" certain emotions/feelings/actions etc. in an exaggerated way; it's not meant to be taken literally, as in they're actually changing appearance. It wasn't common in AoT, if at all, but it's a common animation style in a lot of anime to express different types of actions/emotions etc. (usually for comedic purposes).
