Very well! Generally speaking, the weaknesses a demon has tend to vary depending on the sort of demon one is dealing with. But there are a few that are universal -- and they are weaknesses I, too, possess.
The first is rather simple. If our demon heart is destroyed, we'll die. It's different than the physical heart I have beating in my chest now. You can think of it as a physical manifestation of our powers. When we expose them, we're capable of releasing our full power, in exchange for making ourselves more vulnerable. It's almost poetic, really.
[Perhaps if he knew what it actually looked like when Chuuya used corruption, it'd be easy to assume that corruption itself is similar to Arahabaki unleashing his demon heart. But for now, that's not an assumption he'd jump to.]
Of course, for a demon like myself-- my full power would be too much for my vessel to withstand in its current condition. While I'm capable of taking out my heart, I imagine I'd start doing all sorts of spooky things like bleeding from the eyes or spontaneously starting to bleed and rot.

Human vessels are tragically fragile, after all.
