The event pits the students of Tokyo Jujutsu High against their counterparts from Kyoto Jujutsu High, and the tension is palpable. Both schools are competing to determine who is the stronger group, but personal rivalries and different fighting styles make the battles even more interesting.

Opening Sequence

The chapter opens with the students from both schools facing off. The scene establishes a sense of unease and competition, with Tokyo students such as Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki keeping an eye on their Kyoto counterparts, led by Aoi Todo.
