Chapter Summaries

Itadori Yuji discovered that the popular show Curious Sightings planned to film near his curse mission, prompting Shen Yuanyi and Gojo Satoru to turn the overlap into a controlled opportunity to reveal jujutsu gradually. Shen Yuanyi arrived with police backing, arranged to join the production as a special consultant, and Megumi Zenin began working with Itadori as filming continued.

• Itadori Yuji reported Curious Sightings’ planned filming near the curse to Shen Yuanyi, who decided to manage the situation rather than stop production.
• Shen Yuanyi and Gojo Satoru agreed to use the filming as a chance to introduce jujutsu to the public and chose Megumi Zenin to accompany Itadori for training.
• Shen Yuanyi arrived at the filming site with Superintendent General Shiga Masato, whose presence convinced the director to take Shen Yuanyi’s authority seriously.
• Shen Yuanyi told the director that filming could continue and appointed himself a special consultant for the episode.
• Megumi Zenin met Itadori and went aside with him, while Kamiyama Ena and Ishizaki Seiji watched the newcomers cautiously.

Shen Yuanyi let the production crew continue filming while explaining to Itadori why jujutsu could not remain hidden forever. Itadori accepted the New World plan and agreed to help with a staged opening performance.

• The director introduced Shen Yuanyi as the production’s special consultant, and the crew resumed filming the village.
• Shen Yuanyi asked Itadori whether jujutsu could stay secret as modern communication and increasingly powerful curses made concealment harder.
• Itadori realized a major curse disaster would expose jujutsu, but Shen Yuanyi clarified that the program would only offer a small, gradual introduction.
• After hearing about the Jujutsu World and the New World plan, Itadori decided to support the reformers.
• Shen Yuanyi explained a plan for Itadori and Megumi, leaving Megumi looking speechless.

Shen Yuanyi led the production crew toward the ancient ruins, using a staged Onmyoji ritual and calm explanations to prepare them for the shoot while Itadori and Megumi helped maintain the act. As Shen Yuanyi considered Kamiyama Ena as a possible public face for the Jujutsu world, he spotted a silent, blurred figure lurking in the mist near the ruins.

• The director asked Shen Yuanyi whether the ancient ruins were dangerous, and Shen Yuanyi reassured him with an explanation about the terrain, magnetic fields, and legends affecting people’s perceptions.
• Itadori asked Megumi whether Teacher Genichi was an Onmyoji, and Megumi explained the connection to Jujutsu Sorcerers and the need to control the situation if a Cursed Spirit appeared.
• Shen Yuanyi told Itadori to imitate Megumi’s serious manner and say little while the crew prepared the ritual and the shoot.
• The crew set out for the ancient ruins, and Shen Yuanyi calmed them when they saw fog and what appeared to be a shadow in the forest.
• Kamiyama Ena asked Shen Yuanyi whether ghosts and gods existed, and he considered whether she could become an ordinary-person representative of the Jujutsu world.
• Shen Yuanyi noticed a blurred figure silently pacing through the mist in a clearing near the ruins.

Shen Yuanyi used Cursed Energy to let Kamiyama Ena see a wandering cursed spirit, then Megumi Zenin summoned Divine Dogs to destroy it. After witnessing the supernatural encounter, the director considered continuing the program to capture the event.

• Shen Yuanyi asked Kamiyama Ena to hold his hand while he sent Cursed Energy into her body.
• Kamiyama Ena saw an armored skeleton-like wandering soul and fell in terror, then asked whether the director had arranged the scene.
• Shen Yuanyi explained that Kamiyama Ena had seen a wandering soul, and Megumi Zenin summoned Divine Dogs to attack it.
• Kamiyama Ena watched Divine Dogs tear apart the cursed spirit and asked to pet the white shikigami.
• The director suggested stopping filming, but Shen Yuanyi reassured him and pointed out the attention the real supernatural encounter could bring to the program.

Fujitani Yosuke agreed to cooperate with Shen Yuanyi’s plan to reveal Jujutsu through Curious Sightings, tempted by the chance to create a historic program. With the crew persuaded to keep filming and assured of their safety, the show continued into the ruins with Itadori and Megumi ready to exorcise the Vengeful Spirits.

• Fujitani Yosuke decided to work with Shen Yuanyi after considering the opportunity to make Curious Sightings immensely popular and preserve his legacy.
• Shen Yuanyi explained that Fujitani was the first choice, but the Jujutsu authorities could find another director if he refused, as the New World Plan aimed to let ordinary people discover Jujutsu gradually.
• Shen Yuanyi considered Kamiyama Ena qualified to cross the threshold into the Jujutsu World and reflected that everyone might possess an Innate Technique, though awakening one was difficult.
• Fujitani persuaded the uneasy crew to continue filming by promising the program’s success could bring them significant profits.
• Shen Yuanyi assured the crew that the Vengeful Spirits were minor, and Itadori promised that he and Megumi would protect them and exorcise the spirits.

Kenjaku gathered Japan’s remaining Curse Users and convinced them that Jujutsu Sorcerers planned to eliminate them before jujutsu became public. He proposed reviving ancient sorcerers to create chaos, while secretly using the meeting to lure the Curse Users into Shen Yuanyi’s plan and prepare the return of sorcerers bound to him.

• Curse Users confronted Kenjaku over the deaths of those who followed his previous plan, then argued about the consequences of Jujutsu Disclosure.

• Kenjaku revealed that the supposed Cursed Objects were fake, while the contracts with ancient sorcerers were real, and planned to revive all those bound to him.

Curse Users hijacked the Fukuko to seize hostages, spread panic about jujutsu, and prepare vessels for Kenjaku’s resurrection plan. As the hostages feared the hijackers wanted more than ransom, Kenjaku began another part of the plan on land.

• The hijackers contacted the police and media, then demanded an astronomical ransom while threatening to kill the hostages if armed personnel approached.
• Kenjaku’s plan used the Fukuko hijacking to expose jujutsu, create chaos, secure money, and provide people for ancient sorcerers to be reborn through Flesh Receptacles.
• The Curse Users overwhelmed Fukuko’s security and the unaffiliated Jujutsu Sorcerers hired by wealthy passengers, then gathered the hostages in a grand hall.
• The hostages recognized the hijackers’ powers as jujutsu and feared that the Curse Users were not merely after money.
• The Curse Users discussed using the hostages in experiments and considered killing Kenjaku to avoid sharing the spoils.
• Kenjaku watched wailing people in an underground chamber on land and reflected that the elites and Curse Users did not understand what awaited them.

Okkotsu Yuta, Megumi Zenin, and Itadori Yuji infiltrated the hijacked Fukuko disguised as ordinary people, intending to eliminate the Curse Users and rescue the hostages. When the Curse User leader sensed something was wrong and attacked, the trio’s cover was exposed and the fight began.

• The police handed Okkotsu Yuta, Megumi Zenin, and Itadori Yuji control of the operation and provided a ransom and motorboat.

• Okkotsu Yuta signaled the group to act, and the leader realized they were Jujutsu Sorcerers in disguise.

Okkotsu, Itadori, and Megumi attacked the Curse Users holding hostages aboard the cruise ship, using Time Acceleration to kill most of those in the hall and establish a barrier. Suga Yokkyu survived Okkotsu’s first assault and poisoned him, then altered the barrier with his cursed technique to create a chance to escape.

• Okkotsu entered the Timeless State and accelerated Itadori and Megumi while Megumi’s shikigami set barrier anchors around the hall.
• Okkotsu and Itadori attacked the Curse Users as Megumi finished the barrier, and Okkotsu killed most of the enemies before his blade was stopped by Suga Yokkyu’s defensive technique.
• After time resumed, Okkotsu and his companions moved the hostages to safety while Suga recognized Okkotsu and sent his shikigami to delay him.
• Suga tried to escape and poisoned Okkotsu with a gust of air, but Okkotsu wounded Suga with a long-range slash.
• Suga used a forbidden technique to heal part of his injuries, then transformed the cursed energy in the barrier into poison and opened a temporary breach.

Okkotsu Yuta and Megumi Zenin fought the Curse Users who had seized the cruise ship while trying to protect the hostages. After Megumi stopped Cursed Spirits from bursting out of the hostages, Okkotsu cornered Suga Yokkyu, who revealed that Kenjaku had prepared the hostages as Flesh Receptacles for resurrecting ancient Jujutsu Sorcerers.

After killing a Curse User, Itadori rushed to Megumi’s aid and found him fighting a powerful man who had attacked from among the hostages. Megumi summoned a new shikigami to counter the man’s formidable defenses, but the battle remained unresolved.

• Itadori killed a Curse User who had made cursed spirits burst from the hostages, then hurried to help Megumi.

• Sukuna offered to take control and protect Itadori’s companions, but Itadori refused, and Sukuna cut him into pieces in the Inner World.

Okkotsu Yuta fought seven powerful Curse Users aboard the hijacked ship and uncovered how their rule-based techniques worked. Just as he gained the upper hand, the barrier shattered and an overwhelming presence arrived.

• Okkotsu Yuta faced seven hostages whose powerful Cursed Energy revealed them as Curse Users, and he suspected their attack was tied to Kenjaku.
• Okkotsu copied Wheel of Time, but his attack was constrained by an enemy's Fair Fight technique, which forced the pair to take turns attacking.
• Okkotsu discovered that Fair Fight could interrupt his technique after each turn, then endured a group attack to learn that the others could strike him when the rule was inactive.
• Okkotsu identified the technique's hidden on-and-off timing, copied Multiple Bursts, and nearly crippled the Curse User with a chain of explosions.
• The barrier shattered, and an overwhelming presence interrupted the battle.

Megumi Zenin fused his Ten Shadows shikigami into Dragon and defeated Yanase Shigeru, but the exhausting battle left him facing another special-grade Curse User. The chapter ended as the newcomer began expanding his Domain against Megumi.

• A Curse User resembling a young man in a suit confronted Megumi and began expanding his Domain.

• Sukuna vanished from the ship as it began to sink.

Shen Yuanyi confronted the ancient sorcerers Kenjaku had reborn in a maximum-security prison and forced them into a binding vow to fight opponents he chose. Meanwhile, Kenjaku welcomed another group of resurrected sorcerers aboard a ruined warship and told them that Shen Yuanyi was still in the present era.

• Gojo Satoru imagined a future where Jujutsu was public and said he hoped to protect the younger sorcerers until they grew up.
• Shen Yuanyi proposed that Jujutsu had once existed widely but that ancient people had largely eradicated curses, and Gojo questioned whether their current path was right.
• Gojo Satoru went to find Sukuna after Assistant Supervisors reported an exceptionally powerful cursed presence.
• Kenjaku left when he and Sukuna sensed someone approaching, and Gojo arrived to bring Sukuna back to Itadori’s body.
• Gojo challenged Sukuna to a fight and wagered that Sukuna would explain what he had come to do if he lost.

Shen Yuanyi explained to Kenjaku why Japan’s public acknowledgment of jujutsu would leave it vulnerable to powerful nations, even as it revived jujutsu to protect its people from curses. Kenjaku recognized that Shen Yuanyi viewed the world as a repeatable experiment, and he saw both despair and new hope for his own plans in that revelation.
