• Yuji revived during Shoko's attempted autopsy, and Gojo decided to keep his survival secret while investigating Kamiki Yūhaku.

• Yūhaku told Gojo that his Prophecy only showed what would happen to someone ten minutes from the present, leaving him unable to prevent deaths he foresaw.
• Gojo remarked that Yūhaku's return suggested he might care for the Kamiki Clan, and Yūhaku admitted he once thought he would never return after leaving it.

• The higher-ups used the killing to pressure Kamiki Yūhaku into eliminating future threats, but he stalled and died before answering them.
• Mahito introduced Jogo to Kamiki Yūhaku and invited him to join them, but Kamiki refused because he hated Suguru Geto and still had someone to find.
