[Light Curtain]
Jotaro walked step by step toward the demons. The brim of his hat shadowed his eyes, preventing the audience and the demons before him from seeing his expression.
However, judging solely by Jotaro's towering 195cm frame, he projected an immense sense of pressure.
It was this pressure that had initially kept the demons from approaching him.
But once they saw that Jotaro held no Nichirin Blade and that the rhythm of his breathing was different from that of the Demon Slayers, the situation was reversed. As everyone knew, there were only three ways to kill a demon.
The first was to wait for the sun to rise and use its light to exterminate them. The second was decapitation with a Nichirin Blade, the method most commonly used by the Demon Slayer Corps, as the blades were made from a material anathema to demons. The third was poison, specifically a toxin extracted from Wisteria flowers that was effective against them.
Jotaro possessed none of these things. He just looked like an ordinary person who knew nothing about demons.
Although his sudden appearance was surprising, the scent of Jotaro's blood was simply too alluring. The temptation grew stronger as he drew closer, tickling their noses.
It made their mouths water even more profusely, and the impulse to rush him grew unbearable.
"You're not backing down? You dare to walk toward us just because you're tall?" one of the male demons said, drooling. He couldn't wait to devour Jotaro's flesh and blood.
"This man is mine! A meal that is both fragrant and beautiful. Eating such a handsome and nutritious man will surely grant me a new life," said a female demon next to him. Jotaro's strange attraction to women was even effective on demons, though in their case, it was a craving for his physical body.
"Yare yare daze... give me a break. I don't understand your logic at all. But since you're not retreating upon seeing me, why don't you come a little closer..."
As he spoke, a blue aura began to form around Jotaro's body.
The demons in the video, however, did not see this blue aura. Instead, they stared with longing at Jotaro's approaching form.
Tanjiro, on the other hand, twitched his nose as if he had smelled something. He then looked carefully behind Jotaro.
"That's... is there something behind him?"
No matter how he looked, there was nothing but empty air. But Tanjiro had a feeling that something definitely existed behind this man.
A ghost? Or something else? Why couldn't he see it?
The change in the aura made Tanjiro's eyes go wide. A powerful sixth sense told him that if he got close to Jotaro right now, he would absolutely die!
One step... two steps. The distance was now within two meters. Jotaro and the demons were almost close enough to touch.
"I'll eat you!"
"BOOM—"
Before the demon could finish its sentence, a tremendous sound erupted. The head of the male demon closest to Jotaro was sent flying.
That's right, flying. Along with the rest of his body.
And Jotaro hadn't moved an inch from start to finish. He just stood there.
As for the demon, although it had been blown apart by a single punch, it was still stubbornly alive thanks to its demonic nature.
It was just that its skull was shattered, its brain was hemorrhaging, its body was paralyzed, and its head was now completely detached from its torso.
"Cough... cough cough cough." The demon's severed head, lying on the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood.
It didn't even know what had happened. One moment it was fine, the next it was like this.
Even with a demon's superhuman regenerative abilities, a wound like this couldn't be healed so easily.
Furthermore, the demons born from Muzan's blood were completely different from a vampire like Dio; their self-healing was not on the same level.
In an instant, the fear of death enveloped the demon. Yes... death. Even though Jotaro met none of the conditions for killing a demon, he still made the demon feel as if it were about to die.
Indeed, theoretically, there were only three ways to kill a demon.
However, theory is just theory. Even the Darkstalkers and vampires had weaknesses other than the sun, so why wouldn't demons born from Muzan's blood?
Forget about these low-level demons; even the Lower Ranks, or the Upper Ranks, could be killed by means other than sunlight and Nichirin Blades. Burning them with fire or dicing their bodies into millimeter-sized pieces of flesh were also effective methods.
And the method Jotaro chose was simply the easiest of them all... to ORA them into smithereens.
He had learned from his grandfather, Joseph, that a vampire's weakness was the sun, and that they needed to be killed with Hamon or strong ultraviolet rays to release solar energy.
But Joseph had also told him that if a vampire's body was completely destroyed—for example, cut into micron-sized pieces of flesh, rendering the cells inactive—it could also be killed.
With Star Platinum's precision, accomplishing this was not difficult.

[Light Curtain Comments]
The audience fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
It wasn't about the method of killing demons and vampires, but about Jotaro's thought process.
Jotaro's thinking was actually quite simple: if a vampire or demon is hard to kill, then just keep hitting it until it dies.
This line of thought was, one had to admit, quite brutal. The kind of thing not suitable for minors.
[Tanjiro Kamado: "So you can slay demons like that, too? But isn't it a bit too cruel..."]
[Charging Towards the Jeep: "It may be cruel, but there's no other way. What demons do to people is far more cruel and heartless. I fully support this young man's actions." ]
In the Land of Light, Ultraseven, who deeply loved humanity, said as much. The existence of demons was too great a threat to people. It was a pity he couldn't travel to that universe; otherwise, both Muzan Kibutsuji and Dio would be certain to die.
[Yukino Yukinoshita: "Jotaro Kujo... based on his performance so far, while he doesn't feel as good as Elysia, he at least seems to be on the side of justice. At the very least, he won't be an enemy to humanity." ]
[Josuke Higashikata: "Hey, what do you mean he's not as good as Elysia? So what if Mr. Jotaro has gotten into fights, dined and dashed, and been to jail? In what way is he inferior to Elysia?"]
[Conan Edogawa: "...There are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't even know where to begin. We still don't know much about Jotaro Kujo. Let's finish watching the video before we judge." ]

Author's Note:
PS: I looked at the comments from the last chapter. In total, there will only be four transmigrators: Jotaro, Dio, Joseph, and Kars. It will be young Joseph, since he has to deal with the Ultimate Lifeform. Also, you can look forward to the interaction between young Joseph and Dio; it will definitely happen.
