Chapter Summary
Yuji’s Confrontation with Sukuna
Trapped within Sukuna’s Innate Domain, Yuji faces the daunting task of negotiating with the King of Curses. Sukuna demands gratitude for reviving Yuji’s body, to which Yuji responds with defiance, recalling that Sukuna’s actions led to his death.
Despite Yuji’s resistance, Sukuna proposes a binding vow: Yuji will allow Sukuna to take over his body for one minute whenever he chants “Enchain,” with the stipulation that Yuji must forget this agreement. Yuji initially refuses but is eventually coerced into agreeing when Sukuna severs his head. This moment underscores the perilous nature of Yuji’s pact with Sukuna and sets the stage for future conflicts.
Satoru Gojo’s Vision
Meanwhile, in the real world, Satoru Gojo discusses his vision for the future of jujutsu sorcery with Kiyotaka Ijichi. Gojo expresses his disdain for the higher-ups, whom he considers the “scum of the jujutsu world.” He acknowledges that, despite being a teacher, his talents are better utilized elsewhere and admits he’s not the teaching type. Gojo believes that to rebuild the jujutsu world, he needs to foster strong allies and expresses confidence in the potential of his students, particularly second-year students like Kinji Hakari and Yuta Okkotsu. This conversation provides insight into Gojo’s motivations and his commitment to challenging the existing jujutsu hierarchy.
Yuji’s Return and Gojo’s Plan
Yuji miraculously returns to life, much to the surprise of Shoko Ieiri, who had been preparing to dissect his body. Satoru Gojo welcomes Yuji back and instructs Shoko to list him as deceased in official reports to protect him from the higher-ups. Gojo plans to train Yuji for the upcoming Kyoto Goodwill Event, emphasizing the importance of preparing him for the challenges ahead. Gojo’s protective stance highlights his deep care for his students and his strategic approach to navigating the dangers posed by the jujutsu authorities.
Pseudo-Geto’s Scheme
Elsewhere, Pseudo-Geto (Kenjaku) discusses with Jogo their plans to deal with Satoru Gojo. Acknowledging Gojo’s formidable strength, Pseudo-Geto suggests trapping him using a special-grade cursed object, the Prison Realm, indicating the lengths to which they are willing to go to neutralize Gojo. This conversation sets the stage for future confrontations and reveals the antagonists’ strategic thinking.
