Then, to Wamuu's astonishment, Joseph placed his broken fist on Wamuu's head, trying to ease the pain.
"JOJO... what are you doing? Are you trying to humiliate me? Stop it..."
Wamuu resisted the enemy's treatment, but Joseph remained steadfast:
"Vamuu, I hate vampires, I hate you creatures, but I have to admit..."
"You are a true warrior."
“I know how painful Ripple is for you, this... is my final tribute to you.”
"Fighting is one thing, respect is another."
Upon hearing this, Wamuu's voice turned desolate: "I'm truly defeated by you, JOJO. It seems that you are still stronger in terms of understanding of combat."
"Although I'm on Kars's side, JOJO, you... are a true gentleman."
"I'm happy to be able to fight you, even though our encounter was only brief, lasting less than a few hours."
"But JOJO, in my long life, life has never been the most important thing. It's so great to meet an opponent like you."
"Perhaps it was so that I could meet you that I wandered for twelve thousand years."
Goodbye... JOJO.
Chapter 151 The Man Favored by All the Gods
Wamuu is dead.
The Pillar Man, the purest and most powerful warrior, ultimately died at Joseph's hands.
Next... only Kars remains, the leader of the Pillar Men, a once-in-a-millennium genius. Will he become the so-called ultimate life form?
It seems impossible for him to fight against the Demon Slayer Corps, Jotaro Kujo, and Joseph Joestar all by himself at the same time.

Kaz: "Wamu...you're still the same as before. As a warrior, you're too pure."
Madara Uchiha: "Pure warriors are more worthy of respect. Compared to these petty ninjas in the ninja world who only know how to launch sneak attacks, fighting like them is much more enjoyable. It's a pity..."
Esdeath: "This is the attitude of a strong person, the awareness of a strong person. Wamuu is dead, but his status as a strong person will not change. He is more respectable than most people in the Empire."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "I can't understand the joy of battle, but... from a human perspective, Wamuu is indeed a respectable warrior."
Eren Yeager: "But in any case, he is a figure who stands on the opposite side of humanity. Although he is not as incompetent as the Titans, he is still a nightmare for humanity."
Detective Conan: "That's right. His position doomed him to death. As an individual, Joseph will mourn his passing, but as a human being, Joseph will never let Wamuu go, no matter how respectable he is."

As his last words faded, Wamuu vanished into the wind. He was a warrior of the wind, and every move he made was accompanied by a whirlwind. Now, he too disappeared into the gentle breeze.
"Phew, it's really hard to imagine that a creature that stands on the opposite side of humanity could have such a dazzling spirit, which makes even me, as its enemy, feel respect."
Joseph stood still, instinctively assuming a salute. According to previous statements, there should only be three Pillar Men, but now... only that guy named Kars remains.
Eshidisi's loyalty and Wamuu's resolve are rare indeed, but what kind of resolve and power does the guy named Kaz, who serves them, possess?
Joseph didn't know this, but one thing was certain: he was there because Kars was there too, and his destiny... was to defeat Kars.
That opponent would definitely be the most powerful opponent he had ever encountered in his life, so powerful that it would inspire despair and terror.
After a long moment of silence for Wamuu, Joseph lowered his right hand from his salute and snapped out of his daze. He had never met Kars before, and didn't even know what kind of person Kars was, so why did he feel a strange... fear of Kars?
Not only him, but also the audience outside the light screen. So far, the light screen has mentioned the word 'fate' more than once. Kars is talking about fate, Dio is talking about fate, and everyone who comes to the Demon Slayer world is talking about fate.
On the contrary, the people in the Demon Slayer world themselves have never mentioned this term. Is there a reason for this? Or is it that... in the world where Joseph and the others live, there is an existence similar to the Counter Force in Type-Moon, which controls the fate of humanity?
.........
As the audience outside the light screen grew curious, the camera panned to the location of Kars and Kokushibo.
Kokushibo's defeat was inevitable. The gap between species was too great. Even though Kokushibo had reached the pinnacle of the concept of 'demon,' he could not possibly be a match for Kars.
Now, Kokushibo is pinned to the wall by Kars, and his proud breathing techniques and sword skills are of no use to Kars.
"Doma... right? You said the Red Stone is in his hands, so where is he now?"
A voice that sounded exactly like Yoriichi Tsugikuni rang in Kokushibo's ears, but there was not a trace of Yoriichi Tsugikuni in the cold tone.
"He should have been dispatched to another part of the Infinite City by now."
He quickly revealed Doma's location to Kars. After all, among the Pillars, Giyuu is the best, and among the demons, Doma is the best. As a demon with little humanity, none of the Upper Moons had any good feelings towards him, and even the boss, Muzan Kibutsuji, didn't like him.
If it weren't for Doma's truly amazing talent—becoming a demon after Akaza and quickly defeating Akaza to become Upper Moon Two thanks to his demonic abilities, plus his obedience and usefulness—he would have died at Muzan's hands long ago.
After Kokushibo finished recounting Doma's whereabouts, he raised his head to face Kars in front of him. His eyes already held a death wish, for as a samurai, defeat and death were common occurrences.
Kars, of course, showed no mercy and directly beheaded Kokushibo. As for why he didn't eat him... that would take too much time. Kars's ultimate goal was only the Red Stone, and whether or not he killed Kokushibo was actually irrelevant.
In any case, Kokushibo has completely lost the ability to heal himself. No matter how powerful a demon is, it is still a living being. If it exhausts its power without replenishment, it will naturally die.
As Kokushibo's head fell to the ground, what he saw reflected in his eyes was... his own body, and the half of the flute that had fallen to the ground during the battle.
This is......
His thoughts drifted back to the past, and Kokushibo remembered the person he could never forget in his life, the most powerful man in the Demon Slayer world, who was showered with love and blessed by the gods... Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
The flashback begins, revealing that Kokushibo's real name is Tsugikuni Kokukatsu, the eldest son of a samurai family during the Sengoku period.
Because his father was particularly concerned about class order, and because his younger brother, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, was born with strange markings on his forehead and was considered an ominous child by his father, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was required to become a monk after the age of ten, while Yoriichi, being the eldest son, was required to succeed him.
As a child, Kokushibo took special care of his younger brother, for which he was often scolded by his father. He once made a flute by hand and gave it to Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Although the flute was easy to play out of tune, his younger brother Yoriichi cherished it very much.
Since Yoriichi Tsugikuni has never spoken a word since birth, Kokushibo, like his parents, thought he was deaf.
But when Yoriichi saw Kokushibo practicing his swordsmanship and asked him what his dream was, he was so shocked that he dropped his wooden sword and simply replied blankly that his dream was to become the strongest samurai in the country.
"If my brother wants to become the strongest warrior in this country, then... I will become the second strongest warrior in this country!"
When Kokushibo saw Yoriichi Tsugikuni smile for the first time and express his desire to become a samurai, he felt inexplicably disgusted by his smile. How could someone who spends all his time being pampered by his mother possibly become a samurai?
Although he felt disgusted, Kokushibo didn't take Yoriichi's words to heart until... that day.
That was a day that Kokushibo would never forget in his life. Out of curiosity, Yoriichi Tsugikuni challenged Kokushibo's swordsmanship instructor to a duel. However, Yoriichi, who was using a sword for the first time, knocked his instructor, whom Kokushibo had been unable to defeat despite his best efforts, to the ground in the blink of an eye, and even the place where he was hit swelled up.
Through persistent questioning, Kokushibo learned that Yoriichi Tsugikuni possessed the innate "Transparent World" and a unique breathing method. Only then did he realize that his younger brother, whom he had always felt sorry for, was actually far more outstanding than himself.
Despite possessing such talent in swordsmanship, Yoriichi showed no interest in swordsmanship whatsoever, even considering it less valuable than children's games. Kokushibo was extremely jealous of Yoriichi and lamented how wonderful it would be if such talent could be bestowed upon someone who was truly dedicated to the study of swordsmanship.
While it was admirable, Kokushibo was also afraid of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's talent. If his father knew that Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who had never received any professional training, could easily defeat his swordsmanship instructor, he would definitely pass on the position of successor to him. In this way, Kokushibo would not be able to fulfill his wish to become the strongest samurai.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni seemed to realize that he would succeed his brother as the family heir in the future, so he quietly left the family after his mother's death, which made Kokushibo breathe a sigh of relief.
However... when Kokushibo unexpectedly learned from his mother's diary that her left side was immobile due to illness, he then realized that his younger brother Yoriichi's approach to their mother was not out of affection, but rather because he had been supporting her left side all along.
After feeling that he had lost to his younger brother in both filial piety and talent, Kokushibo, as the older brother, began to hate and envy his younger brother, who was known as a genius, from the bottom of his heart.
More than ten years later, Kokushibo became the heir to the Tsugikuni family, started a family, had children, and lived a peaceful life.
However, his party was attacked by demons, and all his followers except his wife and children were killed. But he himself was reunited with Yoriichi Tsugikuni, whom he had not seen for many years, and was saved by him.
The nightmares from his childhood resurfaced, and in order to become stronger, he resolved to follow in Yoriichi Tsugikuni's footsteps, abandoning his wife and children to join the Demon Slayer Corps and become a demon slayer.
Although Yoriichi Tsugikuni taught him the Breath of the Sun, he was unable to learn it due to his talent. In the end, he only mastered the Breath of the Moon, which was derived from the Breath of the Sun. Later, he awakened his Demon Slayer Mark along with the other Demon Slayers, greatly increasing his strength, but he was still not as strong as Yoriichi.
"Those who exhaust their way will eventually find their way back to the same place."
This was Yoriichi's answer when Kokushibo asked him why he wasn't afraid of the Sun Breathing technique being lost. At that time, Kokushibo... didn't understand what he meant.
Later, when Kokushibo discovered that his companions, the Marked Swordsmen, were dying one by one before the age of 25, he realized that there were limits to humanity. In despair, he accepted Muzan's blood and spent three days falling into demonhood.
After becoming a demon, Kokushibo believed that he would never see Yoriichi Tsugikuni again, who would not live past 25.
However... more than 60 years after becoming a demon, on a full moon night, Kokushibo encountered Yoriichi Tsugikuni again. Yoriichi was old and frail at this time, but he had awakened his Demon Slayer Mark and lived to old age, which surprised and surprised Kokushibo.
"How pitiful, brother."
With tears streaming down his face, Yoriichi Tsugikuni used only one sword... Even though he was old and frail, even though he was not as good as he used to be, he still managed to drive Kokushibo into a desperate situation with just one strike. Kokushibo was just a hair's breadth away from dying completely under his own brother's sword.
Fortunately, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's life eventually came to an end. He died from exhaustion before he could swing his sword again, and Kokushibo, enraged by jealousy, cut Yoriichi's body in two.
However, he unexpectedly discovered the flute that he had given to Yoriichi Tsugikuni. After taking back this memento of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Kokushibo has lived in Yoriichi Tsugikuni's shadow ever since, unable to let go of the past.

After learning about Kokushibo's past as Kokushibo, the audience outside the screen did not feel sad or shed tears like they did with Upper Moon Three and Riku before.
They didn't even care about the memories of the protagonist, Kokushibo himself; their attention was completely drawn to another person among them.
Despite his advanced age and frail health, he nearly killed Kokushibo with a single blow. He was born with X-ray vision and breathing techniques, and is considered the progenitor of all demon slayers in the Demon Slayer Corps... Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "This... what kind of overpowered character is this? Born with a breathing technique and the Transparent World, he can instantly kill Kokushibo even in his old age. Even Kars couldn't do that, right?"
Shinobu Kocho: "Instantly killing Upper Moon One, there is actually someone like this in the Demon Slayer Corps. Why have I never heard of him before? Sun Breathing, Transparent World, these terms are too unfamiliar."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki: "There was indeed such a person in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps, but there is very little information about him. Was he deliberately erased?"
Conan: "No... something's not right. If Yoriichi Tsugikuni is really as powerful as Kokushibo remembers him, then why is Muzan Kibutsuji still alive? Could it be that Muzan is stronger than him?"
Bishop of Destiny: "There is a possibility that if Kokushibo's statement is correct, then it is highly likely that Muzan Kibutsuji fled in panic, hiding from him in fear, until Yoriichi Tsugikuni died of old age."
Muzan Kibutsuji: "You...you're spouting nonsense! How could I possibly lose? He's already dead. I'm the one who won! I'm the one who survived!!"
Madara Uchiha: "Hmph, isn't that an admission? Looks like you're quite frightened. You've been hiding for so long, afraid to speak in the video comments, but you were broken down by someone who's been dead for who knows how many years. What a laughable guy."
Chapter 152 The Ultimate Life Form is About to Be Born
The camera pans to Katz.
At this moment, a red light was reflected in Kars's dark, snake-like eyes.
Aja Redstone, so many years have passed that even he himself has lost track of how long it has been. Now... he can finally, finally become the ultimate being that surpasses all other living beings!
"Oh, you think this gem is beautiful too, right? It's just like my eyes..."
With his seven-colored eyes, Upper Moon Two, Doma spoke with a grin, seemingly unaware that his colleague Kokushibo had already died at the hands of the man before him.
However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't react. As someone born without emotions, he has never experienced fear in his life. Even his current smiling demeanor is just an act.
