Chapter Summaries

Sukuna told Yorozu and Uraume about Shen Yuanyi, a sorcerer who controlled time and whom Sukuna believed had come from the future as his enemy. Meanwhile, Shen Yuanyi prepared for an approaching battle, cut down a space-crossing attack with Ama no Habakiri, and faced a gathering force of sorcerers who demanded his execution.

• Sukuna explained that Shen Yuanyi’s technique could alter time, including accelerating it and reversing it, and speculated that he had traveled from the future.
• Sukuna ignored an invitation from noble faction sorcerers, and Uraume killed them with crimson flames.
• Shen Yuanyi endured the flood of human thoughts brought on by his divine authority and rose when he sensed that the next conflict was beginning.
• Shen Yuanyi wielded Ama no Habakiri, a sword that could cut through anything and temporarily sever techniques, and destroyed a long-range attack aimed at him.
• Sorcerers gathered around Shen Yuanyi beneath a barrier curtain and called for him to submit to execution.

Shen Yuanyi cut through the first wave of sorcerers, survived Yamagami Teruyoshi’s domain, and destroyed it with Ama no Habakiri. As the remaining sorcerers’ planned Heavenly Punishment descended, Wheel of Time: Reverse halted it above his head.

• Shen Yuanyi cut down four attacking sorcerers and was immobilized alongside the caster of a forced-control technique.
• The sorcerers sacrificed themselves to empower Yamagami Teruyoshi, who opened his Domain Expansion: Executioner's Fearful Punishment Platform.
• Shen Yuanyi endured Yamagami Teruyoshi’s sure-hit attacks as Wheel of Time: Reverse restored his injuries.
• Shen Yuanyi charged through the domain and destroyed it with a single slash from Ama no Habakiri, killing Yamagami Teruyoshi.
• The surviving sorcerer’s restriction forced Shen Yuanyi toward the path of a planned Heavenly Punishment, but Wheel of Time: Reverse stopped the descending light above him.

Shen Yuanyi saw through the sorcerers’ plan to force him into Domain Expansion and exhaust him with successive attacks. Abe no Seimei ordered a desperate war of attrition, sending wave after wave to drain Shen Yuanyi as the battle continued.

• Shen Yuanyi closed the distance against a sorcerer whose technique drew opponents together and killed him.
• Shen Yuanyi recognized that the first wave had tried to lure him into using Domain Expansion before an outside attack struck during Cursed Technique Burnout.
• Shen Yuanyi cut down attacking shikigami, including a lizard-like cursed spirit, while avoiding their surprise and long-range attacks.
• Abe no Seimei realized Shen Yuanyi could foresee attacks and ordered the sorcerers to trade their lives for a chance to wear him down.
• Squad after squad entered the battlefield, and Abe no Seimei urged everyone to show their limits.

Shen Yuanyi continued fighting the sorcerers sent in waves to wear him down, killing them only after draining the value of their deaths. As the assault reached the Sun Moon Star Advance Team and the battlefield filled with corpses, All Realms One Place grew increasingly full.

• Shen Yuanyi killed the thirteenth assault team after deliberately fighting its members before delivering their deaths.
• Abe no Seimei and the other commanders watched the battle through a water mirror and wondered why Shen Yuanyi had not attacked their stronghold.
• The Fujiwara Clan’s Sun Moon Star Advance Team arrived, and Shen Yuanyi remembered the team and Uro Sakurako as he defeated them.
• Shen Yuanyi killed the final member of the team after the sorcerer asked why.
• The sorcerers’ bodies accumulated across the ruins as All Realms One Place absorbed the deaths and its sense of fullness rose.

Shen Yuanyi explained to Abe no Seimei and the surviving sorcerers that killing the Jujutsu World’s strongest could weaken curses and eventually bring an end to the jujutsu era, though the balance would rise again in time. Sukuna arrived with Uraume and Yorozu and challenged Shen Yuanyi, eager to test the power of the so-called god.

• Shen Yuanyi faced Abe no Seimei and the surviving elite sorcerers after nearly a thousand sorcerers had died in the battle.
• Seimei questioned why Shen Yuanyi had arranged a decisive battle and what would happen to ordinary people if curses ran rampant afterward.
• Shen Yuanyi demonstrated that he could reverse a corpse’s death by rewinding time, then explained his theory that sorcerers and curses rose and fell in a linked balance.
• Shen Yuanyi said the barrier and the deaths of powerful sorcerers could weaken curses and bring the jujutsu era to an end, though the cycle would eventually begin again.
• Sukuna arrived with Uraume and Yorozu, praised Shen Yuanyi’s selfishness, and declared that he wanted to witness the god’s power.

Abe no Seimei’s sacrifice unleashed Nine-Tailed Tamamo-no-Mae, and the sorcerers began a coordinated assault on Shen Yuanyi. Shen Yuanyi used Time Stop to kill nearby attackers, then turned to confront Tamamo-no-Mae with Black Flash: Infinite.

• Abe no Seimei’s body broke apart, releasing the fully manifested Nine-Tailed Tamamo-no-Mae.
• A sorcerer attacked Shen Yuanyi with daggers and techniques that sealed his senses and reversed his movements, but Shen Yuanyi saw through the assault and wounded him.
• Sukuna and the other sorcerers joined Tamamo-no-Mae in bombarding Shen Yuanyi from all directions while keeping their distance.
• Shen Yuanyi unleashed Time Stop, froze incoming attacks and nearby sorcerers, and killed those caught within its range.
• Shen Yuanyi left the bombardment, targeted the strengthening Nine-Tailed Tamamo-no-Mae, and activated Black Flash: Infinite with Dojigiri and Ama no Habakiri.

Shen Yuanyi overwhelmed Tamamo-no-Mae with Black Flash and his Cursed Blades, but she tried to ensnare him in her mind-affecting Domain so the Fujiwara Clan's trump card could destroy him. Having foreseen her plan, Shen Yuanyi unveiled Domain Expansion: Final Void, leaving the battle's outcome poised in his hands.

• Shen Yuanyi used a barrage of Black Flash strikes with Ama no Habakiri and Dojigiri to sever Tamamo-no-Mae's limbs and cut down the sorcerers who tried to stop him.
• Tamamo-no-Mae recalled that Abe no Seimei's binding vow could grant her true freedom from his inherited technique, and she committed herself to the final battle despite expecting to die.
• Tamamo-no-Mae sent blue flames at Shen Yuanyi, intending to affect his mind and activate her Domain, Heavenly Demon Realm of Freedom.
• Tamamo-no-Mae planned to trap Shen Yuanyi in an endless illusion while avoiding the threshold that would trigger his automatic Time Reversal, giving the Fujiwara Clan's trump card a chance to destroy him.
• Shen Yuanyi revealed that he had already seen through her plan and activated Domain Expansion: Final Void, swallowing the sky and earth in darkness.

After Tamamo-no-Mae failed and was erased by Shen Yuanyi’s Domain, Sukuna attacked while Shen Yuanyi was in Cursed Technique Burnout. Shen Yuanyi used an emerging, bloodline-like Future Sight to survive, but Sukuna trapped him in Domain Expansion: Fukuma Mizushi, where Shen Yuanyi questioned whether Sukuna knew fear.

• Tamamo-no-Mae accepted that her plan had failed, and Shen Yuanyi’s Final Void erased her and carved a vast crater into the landscape.
• Sukuna rushed Shen Yuanyi as his Domain ended and struck with Dismantle, but Shen Yuanyi used Ama no Habakiri and Future Sight to block the fatal slashes.
• Shen Yuanyi realized that his Future Sight could function independently of his Cursed Technique and wondered whether it was becoming an inherited power like the Six Eyes.
• Sukuna pressed his advantage in close combat and completed the signs and incantation for his Domain Expansion.
• Sukuna unleashed Domain Expansion: Fukuma Mizushi, and Shen Yuanyi asked whether Sukuna, born a curse, also knew fear.

Shen Yuanyi endured Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine and countered with Ama no Habakiri, forcing Sukuna to abandon his domain and unleash Hiten’s hidden wind technique. Shen Yuanyi destroyed the attack with his Cursed Blades, but their special effects were severed, leaving the battle poised to continue with Hiten’s power revealed.

• Sukuna expanded Malevolent Shrine, but Shen Yuanyi used Time Reversal to recover from Cursed Technique Burnout and withstand the slashes while the domain killed nearby sorcerers.
• Shen Yuanyi charged Sukuna with Ama no Habakiri, and Sukuna used Hiten to block the blade before canceling his domain and fighting with his cursed tools and Karmic Fire.
• Yorozu and Uraume joined the battle, while Shen Yuanyi sensed that Hiten was awakening a dangerous attack and chose to face it directly.
• Sukuna unleashed Hiten’s wind technique, and Shen Yuanyi entered the Timeless State and used five Cursed Blades to cut apart the invisible, blade-like gales.
• Shen Yuanyi shattered Hiten’s attack, but the clash severed the special cursed effects of his Cursed Blades, leaving only their basic functions intact.

Shen Yuanyi discovered that Ama no Habakiri could sever or seal the jujutsu within cursed tools and used its power against Sukuna, Uraume, and Yorozu. After killing Uraume and Yorozu, he faced Sukuna as Sukuna began his strongest technique.

• Shen Yuanyi realized Ama no Habakiri had erased the techniques inside the cursed blades and destroyed Sukuna’s Hiten.
• Shen Yuanyi wounded Sukuna with Ama no Habakiri, but Sukuna disrupted his attack with lightning hidden in his body.
• Uraume trapped Shen Yuanyi and Yorozu in Crimson Lotus Ice Prison, but Shen Yuanyi cut Uraume apart and shattered Yorozu’s Insect Armor.
• Shen Yuanyi provoked Yorozu into expanding her domain, then killed her with Godspeed Slash: Limitless.
• Sukuna formed two cursed seals and began chanting as Shen Yuanyi challenged him to use his strongest jujutsu.

Shen Yuanyi defeated Sukuna through repeated time loops and erased him with Final Void, then destroyed a Blood Demon formed by the surviving sorcerers. He used Final Void: Limitless to traverse spacetime and finally returned to his own world, where familiar people asked who he was.

• Shen Yuanyi repeatedly reversed time and killed Sukuna until he erased Sukuna and the battlefield with Final Void.
• The surviving sorcerers sacrificed themselves to summon a massive Blood Demon, and Shen Yuanyi destroyed it with Final Void.
• Shen Yuanyi used Final Void: Limitless to pierce spacetime and search for the river that belonged to him.
• Shen Yuanyi drifted through chaotic spacetime and eventually returned to his world.
• A group of familiar people saw Shen Yuanyi and asked who he was.

Shen Yuanyi arrived in a different timeline during the battle against Sukuna, where Maki and the others did not recognize him. After healing Okkotsu Yuta and severing Sukuna’s limbs, he demanded an explanation from everyone present.

• Shen Yuanyi opened his eyes in a devastated Shinjuku and realized he had arrived in another time and space, with his abilities temporarily weakened.
• Maki mistook Shen Yuanyi for a threat and charged into the domain to ambush Sukuna while Kusukabe sent Bloated Phase to intercept him.
• Shen Yuanyi struck Bloated Phase aside, recognized Itadori Yuji, and asked where Gojo Satoru was.
• Shen Yuanyi recognized Sukuna and Okkotsu Yuta, inferred that this timeline’s events had unfolded differently, and used Wheel of Time: Reverse to heal Okkotsu Yuta.
• Shen Yuanyi cut off Sukuna’s limbs with Ama no Habakiri and demanded that the others tell him what had happened.

Shen Yuanyi appeared on the battlefield, learned that Gojo Satoru had died and that Sukuna had taken Megumi Fushiguro’s body and killed Tsumiki, then overwhelmed Sukuna and Uraume. He offered Sukuna a chance to fight him at full strength in three days, and Sukuna accepted.

• Shen Yuanyi introduced himself to Okkotsu Yuta and learned that Gojo Satoru had died in battle against Sukuna.
• Itadori Yuji told Shen Yuanyi that Sukuna had taken Megumi Fushiguro’s body and used it to kill Tsumiki, leaving Shen Yuanyi visibly shaken.
• Shen Yuanyi used Wheel of Time: Spin to cut through Sukuna’s Dismantle and shatter his body, then defeated Uraume when he rushed to Sukuna’s aid.
• Shen Yuanyi killed Uraume after confirming he had not taken over the body of someone Shen Yuanyi knew.
• Shen Yuanyi offered Sukuna a full-strength fight in three days and said he would rescue Megumi Fushiguro; Sukuna accepted and recognized Shen Yuanyi’s time-based technique.

Shen Yuanyi and Utahime attempted to reverse time and revive Gojo Satoru after Sukuna cut him in half. Utahime collapsed from overextending her technique, and Gojo began to awaken.

• Ieiri Shoko questioned Shen Yuanyi about his connection to the sorcerers, and he revealed that he came from another time and space.
• Shen Yuanyi examined Gojo Satoru's body and decided he could try reversing the time since Gojo had been cut in half.
• Utahime arrived and pushed her technique beyond its limits to amplify Shen Yuanyi's power.
• Shen Yuanyi used Wheel of Time: Reverse on Gojo while Utahime's technique amplified him.
• Utahime collapsed, and Gojo asked where he was.

Shen Yuanyi revived Gojo Satoru and explained that he had come from another timeline, where many tragedies had been avoided. As the survivors prepared to face Sukuna and save Megumi Fushiguro, Shen Yuanyi reflected on why this timeline alone mattered to him.

• Shen Yuanyi brought Gojo Satoru back to life, and Gojo reunited with Utahime and Ieiri Shoko.
• Gojo Satoru and the survivors asked Shen Yuanyi about his world, and he described how its history differed from theirs.
• Maki asked whether Shen Yuanyi could travel to the past and prevent their tragedies, but he explained that changing history would create another timeline rather than rewrite theirs.
• Shen Yuanyi said Sukuna was not difficult to defeat in his current state and asked how they planned to save Megumi Fushiguro.
• The group decided to defeat Sukuna first and then try to destroy his soul within Megumi Fushiguro, while Shen Yuanyi resolved that this timeline was the one that mattered to him.

Shen Yuanyi established a barrier in Shinjuku to gather curses as kindling for another crossing, then met Sukuna for their agreed final battle. They made a binding vow over the outcome, and the fight began with Shen Yuanyi striking Sukuna before Sukuna opened his domain.

• Shen Yuanyi cleared curses from Shinjuku and built a rudimentary barrier to extract their accumulated energy.
• Three days later, Gojo Satoru, Okkotsu, Itadori, Maki, and the other sorcerers arrived in Shinjuku to await the final battle.
• Sukuna summoned a powerful Nue fused with other Ten Shadows shikigami, while Shen Yuanyi warned him that his control over time made victory impossible.
• Shen Yuanyi and Sukuna agreed that Sukuna would leave Megumi Fushiguro’s body and soul if he lost, while Shen Yuanyi would surrender his body if Sukuna won, and they established a binding vow.
• Sukuna attacked with Dismantle and Karmic Fire, but Shen Yuanyi struck him into the ground; Sukuna then expanded his domain, Fukuma Mizushi.

Shen Yuanyi overwhelmed Sukuna with his time-stopping technique and destroyed Mahoraga, leaving Sukuna unable to rely on the Ten Shadows. Shen Yuanyi then signaled Gojo Satoru to begin the rescue of Fushiguro.

• Shen Yuanyi survived Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine, wounded Sukuna, and defeated his shadow beast while evading a slash that cut through space.
• Shen Yuanyi used Time Stop to slash Sukuna, but Gojo Satoru warned that they needed to preserve Sukuna’s body to save Fushiguro.
• Sukuna healed himself, attacked Shen Yuanyi with fused shikigami and flames, and clashed with him using Black Flash before activating Malevolent Shrine again.
• Sukuna’s Mahoraga completed its adaptation, but Shen Yuanyi drew it away and erased it with Domain Expansion: Final Void.
• Shen Yuanyi used Ama no Habakiri to wound Sukuna in nonfatal places, then signaled Gojo Satoru, who teleported in and activated Domain Expansion: Infinite Void: Heart Source Flow.

Shen Yuanyi and Gojo Satoru used memories from another world to awaken Megumi Fushiguro and separate him from Sukuna. Megumi regained control of his body and woke to find Sukuna nearby.

• Itadori worried that Megumi would remain trapped in despair, and Gojo Satoru explained how Megumi's trauma had left him unable to face reality.
• Shen Yuanyi proposed using his memories of Megumi and Tsumiki from another world to awaken Megumi, then separating Sukuna with the Yata no Kagami.
• Gojo Satoru learned the Reversed Domain and used the Yata no Kagami to extract Shen Yuanyi's memories as tangible Jujutsu.
• During the battle, Shen Yuanyi wounded Sukuna and Gojo Satoru's Domain opened before Sukuna could counter, allowing the memories to reach Megumi's consciousness.
• Megumi relived the unfamiliar memories of growing up with Tsumiki and a boy resembling Shen Yuanyi, then awoke from his inner darkness.
• Megumi regained control of his body as Sukuna was torn away, and he opened his eyes to see the four-armed, four-eyed demon god nearby.

Shen Yuanyi and Gojo Satoru separated Sukuna from Megumi Fushiguro, but Sukuna attacked again in his original form and was ultimately defeated by Shen Yuanyi. After taking the Tengen core from Sukuna, Shen Yuanyi left the others alarmed by saying he still intended to use it.

• Shen Yuanyi used the Yata no Kagami to separate Sukuna from Megumi Fushiguro, restoring both to their true forms.
• Sukuna opened Malevolent Shrine and tore apart Megumi Fushiguro, but Shen Yuanyi restored him and Gojo Satoru carried him out of the domain.
• Shen Yuanyi fought Sukuna inside Malevolent Shrine and gravely wounded him with attacks Sukuna could not anticipate.
• Sukuna admitted defeat and gave Shen Yuanyi the embryo containing Tengen's remains and the authority Kenjaku had transferred to him.
• Shen Yuanyi used Final Void, then told Gojo Satoru that he intended to use the embryo rather than destroy it.

Shen Yuanyi reassured Gojo Satoru that he would use the embryo to harvest curses rather than sacrifice people, while Megumi Fushiguro learned that Tsumiki had been saved in another time and space. The Jujutsu World and ordinary society gradually integrated, and after thirteen years and six months of research, the altered embryo was ready to gather curses and help Shen Yuanyi continue his journey through time and space.

• Shen Yuanyi handed the embryo to Gojo Satoru and explained that he would use curses as sacrificial targets, warning that he would otherwise kill sorcerers and curses to obtain enough energy.
• Shen Yuanyi told Megumi Fushiguro about the Fushiguro siblings in another time and space, including that Tsumiki had been rescued unharmed.
• Gojo Satoru's group reorganized the Jujutsu World, with Zenin Maki becoming head of the new Zenin Clan and its old rules being abolished.
• The Jujutsu World chose to guide the integration with ordinary society by selectively disclosing information about cursed spirits and expanding the recruitment of people with jujutsu aptitude.
• Over the following years, Gojo Satoru and other researchers altered the embryo so that it harvested curses instead of merging the people living within the barriers.
• After thirteen years and six months, the embryo began drawing in curse essence through its connection with All Realms One Place, and its activation would allow Shen Yuanyi to leave this time and space.
