Chapter Summaries

Geto Suguru defeated the masked trio, took the three Cursed Objects, and sent Mahito to retrieve Sukuna's Finger from Jujutsu High while he went to meet an old friend. After Yamata no Orochi resurrected in a divine form, it continued moving through Shen Yuanyi's Timeless State and shattered his Cursed Blades with a beam of light; Shen and Okkotsu Yuta faced its next attack as eight dragon-serpents enclosed it.

• Shen Yuanyi warned Okkotsu Yuta that Yamata no Orochi might have copied more than his technique, as eight translucent dragon-serpents encircled the curse and light descended.

Shen Yuanyi and Okkotsu Yuta fought Yamata no Orochi, whose Heavenly Cloud Sword and immense power overwhelmed their attacks. Near death as his Wheel of Time faltered, Shen Yuanyi gained a deeper grasp of his technique and awakened its reverse application.

• Shen Yuanyi and Okkotsu Yuta tested Yamata no Orochi, who wielded the Heavenly Cloud Sword and cut through their attacks while enduring their blows.

Megumi Fushiguro and his allies defeated Dagon with a new chimera beast, then learned that Gojo Satoru had been sealed. Shen Yuanyi entered Shibuya Station, picked up the sealing object, and confronted two Curse Users.

• Megumi Fushiguro sent Yoshino Junpei out of Dagon's domain and deployed his own domain to create a chimera beast.
• Megumi fused Tiger Burial with his other shikigami to create Evil Prison Oni, which fought through Dagon's waves of shikigami.

• Shen Yuanyi took the sealing object from behind Zenin Naobito and asked two Curse Users whether they had harmed innocent people.

Shen Yuanyi rescued Gojo Satoru from the Prison Realm, and Gojo revealed that a mysterious impostor was using Geto Suguru’s body. Before the sorcerers could begin searching for Tengen, barrier failures and a mass-sleeping game signaled a new wave of disasters.

• Koji summoned a shikigami to cover his escape, but Shen Yuanyi killed Koji, his werewolf companion, and the shikigami.
• Shen Yuanyi healed Zenin Naobito and learned that Tengen had disappeared and the Tombs of the Star Corridor had been invaded.

• Gojo Satoru told Shen Yuanyi and Yaga Masamichi that he had seen Geto Suguru’s body in the Prison Realm, though his instincts said the person was not Geto.
• Barrier abnormalities erupted across several regions, while reports revealed that more than a thousand people had fallen asleep and were joining a mysterious game.

Shen Yuanyi entered the Tokyo-area barrier and learned from Junpei that Kenjaku had revived ancient sorcerers through Flesh Receptacles. After helping a stranded survivor, Shen Yuanyi followed Junpei to meet the barrier’s strongest Curse Users, Ryū Ishikori and Uro Sakurako.

• Shen Yuanyi investigated the barrier after discussing the Sleeping Game and the nationwide barrier anomalies with Yaga Masamichi, Gojo Satoru, and Zenin Naobito.
• Shen Yuanyi used Time Stop to pass through the barrier and subdued Junpei, who revealed that he was a sorcerer from three hundred years ago revived by Kenjaku through a Flesh Receptacle.
• Junpei explained that contracted sorcerers were trapped inside the barrier, and Shen Yuanyi ordered him to lead the way to the strongest Curse User.
• Shen Yuanyi found a stranded man in a convenience store, gave him two protective dolls, and told him and his family to hide until he could evacuate them.
• Junpei led Shen Yuanyi to Ryū Ishikori and Uro Sakurako, ancient sorcerers who were among the barrier’s strongest fighters.

Shen Yuanyi confronted Ryū Ishikori and Uro Sakurako, revealing that his Cursed Technique controlled time and challenging them to defeat him within a minute. After Uro Sakurako expanded her Domain, Shen Yuanyi and Ryū Ishikori began trading powerful Cursed Energy blasts, leaving the fight ongoing.

• Shen Yuanyi reversed Ryū Ishikori's first Ice Sand Impact Wave, then used his time-controlling Cursed Technique to appear behind him.
• Uro Sakurako recognized Shen Yuanyi from the body's memories, and Shen Yuanyi challenged her and Ryū Ishikori to fight for one minute in exchange for their cooperation.
• Uro Sakurako expanded her Domain, Lapis Lazuli Weave Sky, and used spatial distortions to conceal Ryū Ishikori's attack.
• Shen Yuanyi matched Ryū Ishikori's Cursed Energy blast with one of his own, and their attacks collided without breaking Uro Sakurako's Domain.
• Ryū Ishikori fired three more Ice Sand Impact Waves, and Shen Yuanyi used Wheel of Time: Spin to meet them head-on.

Shen Yuanyi defeated Uro Sakurako and Ryū Ishikori, then questioned them about Kenjaku and the barrier’s deadly purpose. After rescuing a family and reporting back, he learned that the sleeping incident had been named the “Dream Realm” and that the people sent in had awakened with new information.

• Uro Sakurako attacked Shen Yuanyi during his fight with Ryū Ishikori, but he reversed their attacks and overpowered both sorcerers within the promised minute.
• Shen Yuanyi questioned Uro Sakurako and Ryū Ishikori, learning that Kenjaku could change bodies and that he had made a deal to revive Uro Sakurako.
• Uro Sakurako explained that Kenjaku’s barrier absorbed most deaths and pushed trapped sorcerers toward slaughter, while Ryū Ishikori said killing the reborn sorcerers could weaken the barrier.
• Shen Yuanyi treated Uro Sakurako and Ryū Ishikori, warned Junpei about the barrier, and rescued a family before leaving it.
• Shen Yuanyi called Gojo Satoru, who said the sleeping incident was tentatively named the “Dream Realm” and that the people sent in had awakened with specific information.

Shen Yuanyi and the sorcerers entered the barriers to subdue ancient sorcerers and limit deaths, while Gojo Satoru and Megumi Fushiguro went into the Dream Realm to find Tsumiki. After learning the game’s first winners had vanished and Mei Mei had encountered dangerous opponents, Shen Yuanyi rushed toward the next barrier.

• Gojo Satoru explained that Dream Realm players gained cursed techniques by killing, and told Shen Yuanyi that Tsumiki had entered the realm.
• Gojo Satoru and Megumi Fushiguro left to enter the Dream Realm, while Shen Yuanyi joined the teams assigned to contain the barriers.

• Mei Mei sent Shen Yuanyi a message saying she had encountered an unusually difficult ancient sorcerer and several lunatics.

Megumi Fushiguro entered the Dream Realm, fought Hunters, and gathered Survivors while searching for Gojo Satoru. He eventually encountered the powerful Hunter Hori Sadatoshi, whose unexpectedly fast attack sent Megumi crashing into a building.

• Megumi fought five Hunters with a stolen bat and Hun, killing them and gaining Cursed Energy when they failed to respawn nearby.
• Megumi rescued two Survivors from Hunters and learned that a powerful killer had wiped out their organized group.
• Megumi traveled with the Survivors, gathered a group of thirty-two, and continued searching for Gojo Satoru.
• Hori Sadatoshi appeared and attacked Megumi, showing unusually slow strikes and exceptionally fast defense.
• Hori Sadatoshi suddenly accelerated one attack and sent Megumi flying into a building while Hun guarded the dust cloud.

Megumi and Hun struggled against Hori Sadatoshi, whose Cursed Technique stored missed attacks and released them as powerful strikes, until Gojo Satoru arrived and left Hori near death for Megumi to finish. Afterward, Megumi reunited with Tsumiki in the Dream Realm, and the group prepared to leave and inform Yuanyi that they had found her.

• Megumi deduced how Hori Sadatoshi's Cursed Technique worked and used Rabbit Escape to interrupt his stored attacks.
• Hori Sadatoshi stopped holding back, overwhelmed Megumi and Hun, and sent Megumi crashing to the ground with an empowered strike.
• Gojo Satoru arrived and struck Hori with a long-range Red, then told Megumi to finish him.
• Hun killed Hori, and Megumi gained power from the death before Gojo told him he had found Tsumiki.
• Tsumiki embraced Megumi, and they comforted each other as they recalled their family and Yuanyi.
• Gojo urged them to leave and send word to Yuanyi, while Megumi promised to take Tsumiki out of the Dream Realm safely.

Shen Yuanyi arrived at the barrier and rejected Shinji, Setada, and Rinka after learning they had slaughtered people in the Dream Realm. He killed the three and accepted Shikokuzumi Ichi’s challenge, as Ichi unleashed his cursed technique.

• Shen Yuanyi joined Mei Mei, Nobara Kugisaki, and Ino Takuma at the stadium, where Mei Mei identified Shinji, Setada, and Rinka as victors of the Dream Realm.
• Shinji offered for his group to join the official side, but Setada admitted they had killed many people in the Dream Realm.
• Shen Yuanyi condemned the three and refused to let them leave the barrier alive, while Shikokuzumi Ichi revealed their deaths would advance Kenjaku’s objective.
• Shen Yuanyi instantly cut Setada in half, and Shinji and Rinka fell dead soon afterward.
• Shikokuzumi Ichi challenged Shen Yuanyi, wagering cooperation in exchange for help finding Sukuna if Ichi won.
• Shen Yuanyi accepted the duel, and Shikokuzumi Ichi activated Cursed Technique Release: Thunder God: Amber.

Shikokuzumi Ichi unleashed the spirit sword Futsu-no-Mitama and transformed into a thunderous armored being, revealing a mysterious purple halo as he fought Shen Yuanyi. Shen Yuanyi stopped his devastating sword strike, but Shikokuzumi Ichi finally moved fast enough to keep up with him.

• Shikokuzumi Ichi attacked Shen Yuanyi with lightning, while Mei Mei led Kugisaki and Ino Takuma away from the dangerous stadium.
• Shikokuzumi Ichi explained that invisible electric currents let his body react instinctively to Shen Yuanyi’s movements, then declared he would go all in.
• Shikokuzumi Ichi melted his iron staff into Futsu-no-Mitama and drove the spirit sword into his chest, transforming through Take-Mikazuchi-no-Mikoto: Kyoushin Katten.
• Shen Yuanyi noticed a purple halo behind Shikokuzumi Ichi that resembled the mysterious phenomenon behind Yamata no Orochi.
• Shen Yuanyi used Dojigiri and One Sword Lightning Cut to shatter Shikokuzumi Ichi’s near-black lightning, then saw Shikokuzumi Ichi move at a speed that could keep up with him.

Shen Yuanyi battled Shikokuzumi Ichi, whose borrowed lightning power carried him to a godlike peak, and defeated him with Domain Expansion: Final Void. Shikokuzumi Ichi accepted his loss and asked Shen Yuanyi whether he ever felt lonely.

• Shikokuzumi Ichi gathered lightning into Futsu-no-Mitama and unleashed a devastating slash, but Shen Yuanyi stopped time and cut through the attack.
• Shikokuzumi Ichi reformed after Shen Yuanyi's slashes shattered him, then opened the halo behind him like a purple eye and summoned a colossal lightning figure to attack.
• Nobara Kugisaki, Ino Takuma, and Mei Mei watched the battle from near the barrier, while Mei Mei said they would wait for Genichi to finish dealing with things.
• Shen Yuanyi flew toward the lightning god and used Domain Expansion: Final Void, erasing its attack and much of the summoned figure.
• Shikokuzumi Ichi's lightning armor and halo vanished, and he admitted defeat before asking Shen Yuanyi if he ever felt lonely.

Shen Yuanyi defeated Shikokuzumi Ichi, learned what he knew about Kenjaku, and formed a binding-vow alliance with him. After receiving word that six of eight barriers had been cleared, Shen Yuanyi prepared to tackle the remaining threats and learned that Tsumiki had been rescued, though the Dream Realm was entering another round.

• Shen Yuanyi spoke with Shikokuzumi Ichi about loneliness, then questioned him about Kenjaku and learned that Kenjaku had used different bodies and that the barrier absorbed people who died inside it.
• Shen Yuanyi offered Shikokuzumi Ichi freedom in exchange for cooperating with his side until Kenjaku was killed or three months had passed, and Shikokuzumi Ichi accepted the binding vow.
• Shen Yuanyi brought Shikokuzumi Ichi to Mei Mei, Nobara Kugisaki, and Ino Takuma, then used Time Stop to take the group out of the barrier.
• Shen Yuanyi learned that six barriers had been pacified and that the final two remained, including one containing more than four Special Grade Cursed Spirits; Shikokuzumi Ichi chose to join him in confronting it.
• Gojo Satoru told Shen Yuanyi that Tsumiki had been rescued, but the Dream Realm had not disappeared and was likely to begin a third round.

Shen Yuanyi and Shikokuzumi Ichi fought their way through a barrier crowded with Special Grade Cursed Spirits and confronted a giant earthquake-causing fish and an elephant-headed curse. Shen Yuanyi nearly killed Earthquake Catfish, but the elephant-headed curse disrupted the battle, while Kenjaku and Mahito discussed releasing Sukuna.

• Shen Yuanyi destroyed a giant spider Cursed Spirit and continued with Shikokuzumi Ichi, encountering several more Special Grade curses inside the barrier.
• The pair saw land rise into the sky and found an elephant-headed Cursed Spirit controlling the strange phenomenon.
• A gigantic fish Cursed Spirit emerged and triggered a devastating earthquake, so Shen Yuanyi attacked it while suspecting it was Earthquake Catfish.
• Shen Yuanyi used his Timeless State to carve Earthquake Catfish nearly to death, but the elephant-headed curse's technique made the falling land collapse and restored the fish to the air.
• Shikokuzumi Ichi hurled a lightning attack at the elephant-headed curse, but the attack vanished before it could hit.
• Mahito questioned Kenjaku about Sukuna's release, and Kenjaku said no one would suspect the person closest to them.

• Kenjaku explained that the Dream Realm could turn illusions into reality and said the sorcerers would become enemies through their conflict with humans seeking power.
• Mahito said he would handle Itadori Yuji once Yuji entered the Dream Realm and asked what would happen if the sorcerers chose to kill Sukuna.
• Shen Yuanyi fought the Earthquake Catfish and elephant-headed curse spirit, testing how the latter's technique suppressed Cursed Energy and negated attacks.
• Shen Yuanyi used Final Void to erase the Earthquake Catfish, then struck the elephant-headed curse spirit with Dojigiri and finished it while Time Stop prevented it from using its technique.
• Shen Yuanyi met up with Shikokuzumi Ichi after the earthquake subsided, but an emergency report said Itadori Yuji had been stabbed and Ryomen Sukuna had reappeared.

Gojo Satoru and Megumi Fushiguro helped the Dream Realm’s Survivors escape by having them kill the Hunters, then returned to reality with Tsumiki. Tsumiki was revealed as the ancient sorcerer Yorozu, who had enabled Ryomen Sukuna’s awakening, and Gojo accepted Sukuna’s challenge to fight after he recovered his strength.

• Gojo Satoru and Megumi Fushiguro defeated the Hunters and arranged for the Survivors to kill them, allowing the people they wanted to save to escape the Dream Realm.
• Gojo Satoru, Megumi Fushiguro, and Tsumiki awakened in reality, and Tsumiki soon regained consciousness as Megumi and Itadori Yuji greeted her.
• Tsumiki stabbed Itadori Yuji with a shadowy dagger and seized Megumi Fushiguro, while Ryomen Sukuna took control of Itadori Yuji’s body.
• Gojo Satoru identified Tsumiki as an ancient sorcerer and learned that she was Yorozu, who had sent Itadori Yuji into the Dream Realm so Sukuna could awaken.
• Sukuna challenged Gojo Satoru to let him recover his strength before they fought, threatening Megumi Fushiguro and Tsumiki, and Gojo accepted.

• Uraume presented Sukuna with a box of shriveled fingers, and Sukuna absorbed several of them.
• Sukuna told Yorozu she would accompany him to meet Kenjaku, and he departed with her and Uraume.

Kenjaku explained how Yorozu helped him use a Dream Eater dagger to stab Itadori Yuji and advance his plan, while warning her that Shen Yuanyi posed a major threat. After returning to Jujutsu High, Shen learned what had happened and prepared to face Sukuna, Kenjaku, and their allies so Itadori and Tsumiki could be saved.
