Chapter Summaries

In the Dream Realm, Megumi Fushiguro hunted players to gain enough power to subdue Mahoraga and save Sister, while Itadori Yuji refused to kill the people trapped there and resolved to save as many as he could. Megumi set out after the Hunters, and Yuji began trying to persuade a defeated attacker that he could still choose another path.

• Megumi Fushiguro encountered five players pursuing a fleeing group, killed them, and gained Cursed Energy.
• Megumi planned to fuse the Cursed Techniques of the nine shadow beasts so he could subdue Mahoraga, and spared the fleeing players after warning them about Okkotsu and the rescue efforts.
• Itadori Yuji entered the Dream Realm, recalled Tsumiki stabbing him, and struggled with the requirement to kill a hundred people to escape.
• Yuji defeated a player who attacked him but refused to kill him, saying he wanted to save as many people as he could.

Akutagawa Kaoru used the upgraded player-tracking rules to hunt more efficiently, driven by his hatred of curses and Jujutsu Sorcerers after his parents died in a curse attack. As his Void Movement Sorcery grew stronger, he confronted a huge crowd and heard one target introduce himself as Itadori Yuji.

• The game announced that players would learn the location of the nearest player after each execution, and Akutagawa Kaoru killed a fleeing player and received a new target’s location.
• Akutagawa Kaoru recalled how a curse attack killed his parents and how he learned that a Jujutsu Sorcerer’s negligence had contributed to their deaths.
• Akutagawa Kaoru entered the Dream Realm, deceived and killed a wary girl, awakened Void Movement Sorcery, and committed himself to gaining power through the game.
• Using the tracking guidance, Akutagawa Kaoru found a player hiding in a small building and destroyed it with a vibration-enhanced punch.
• Akutagawa Kaoru continued hunting and training until he faced a vast crowd, where Itadori Yuji gave his name.

Itadori Yuji gathered players in the Dream Realm and tried to protect them while searching for Jujutsu High. When the powerful Hunter Akutagawa Kaoru attacked, Yuji was badly injured, and a group member sacrificed himself to shield him; Yuji then revived on the spot to face Akutagawa again.

• Yuji persuaded Takeda Yoshiharu to join him and recruited other players, including some who had abandoned killing and followed his lead.
• Akutagawa Kaoru appeared, stomped the street apart, and struck Yuji with invisible attacks that left him severely injured.
• Yuji concentrated his Cursed Energy into his arms to block Akutagawa's attack, but his arms broke and Akutagawa's next barrage pierced his body.
• An ordinary member of Yuji's group shielded him from the barrage and died, after which Akutagawa destroyed the ruins and killed Yuji as well.
• Yuji revived on the battlefield, prompting Akutagawa to realize he had chosen to return on the spot and declare that everyone would die.

Megumi Fushiguro confronted Akutagawa Kaoru to cover Itadori Yuji and the others’ retreat, battling him with fused shikigami. Megumi escaped gravely wounded, and the barrier announced that Phase Two had begun with a higher reality level, a smaller world range, and changed departure conditions.

• Megumi summoned Tengu Serpents and a powerful Ox Demon to confront Akutagawa Kaoru while Itadori Yuji warned him about Akutagawa’s devastating attacks.
• Akutagawa destroyed Ox Demon with a single blow, so Megumi ordered Itadori and the others to flee.
• Akutagawa tried to stop their retreat with a soundwave attack, but Megumi’s Evil Prison Oni interrupted him and fought to hold him back.
• Megumi used Evil Prison Oni’s regeneration to stall Akutagawa, then attempted to escape through the shadows as his Cursed Energy ran low.
• Akutagawa shattered Evil Prison Oni and pierced Megumi’s chest, but Megumi escaped; the barrier then announced Phase Two and new conditions.

Kenjaku gave Mahito the key to the Dream Realm’s final stage, and Mahito prepared to advance their plan at the cost of his own life and those of his loved ones. In the Dream Realm, Megumi reunited with Itadori and concluded that the new departure rules were designed to trap them, so they set out to grow stronger before reaching the central safe point.

• Kenjaku explained the Dream Realm’s final stage to Mahito and handed him a magatama that could activate it and speed up power gathering.
• Mahito resolved to help bring about the age of curses, accepting that he and his cherished family might pay with their lives.
• Megumi used Round Deer to stabilize his injuries, followed a Rabbit Escape to Itadori, and asked him about the new guidance rule.
• Itadori explained that the group had split into smaller parties to evade Akutagawa Kaoru and other Hunters while heading toward a rendezvous point.
• Megumi warned Itadori that the new requirement to leave from a central safe point might be a trap, and stressed that Itadori needed to escape to help Tsumiki.
• Megumi and Itadori agreed to set aside regrets, build their strength, and prepare for the dangers ahead, with Megumi planning to subjugate Mahoraga.

• Megumi activated Cursed Technique Expansion and summoned a dragon fused from the nine shadow shikigami.

Megumi Fushiguro revealed Heavenly Calamity, a fusion of the Nine Shadows, and fought Akutagawa Kaoru inside his domain. After the domain shattered, Heavenly Calamity overwhelmed Akutagawa, who faced defeat while wondering whether to accept a proposal that might cost him his sense of self.

• Megumi Fushiguro summoned Heavenly Calamity and used Simple Domain to counter Akutagawa Kaoru's sure-hit attack.

• Heavenly Calamity caught Akutagawa Kaoru in its jaws, leaving him near defeat and questioning whether to accept a proposal that could take away his sense of self.

Akutagawa Kaoru accepted the Dream Realm Pact and returned to the battle with overwhelming power, while Takeda Kaiyi chose to run back and help the others. As Mahito pressured Itadori Yuji’s group, survivors offered to sacrifice their power, and Itadori volunteered to receive it in hopes of awakening an Innate Technique.

Itadori Yuji revealed that his newly awakened Cursed Technique, Evil Severing Slash, struck anyone who harbored malice toward him, and he used it to fight Mahito. After Mahito expanded his Domain and Okkotsu Yuta answered with his own, Okkotsu’s Domain shattered; he began healing his brain and expanded it again, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Mahito realized Itadori’s invisible slashes wounded his soul, while Okkotsu and Maki concluded that Itadori had awakened a Cursed Technique.

• Mahito expanded Self-Embracing Spherical Envelopment, and Okkotsu countered with his own Domain to protect Itadori from Mahito’s sure-hit technique.
• Okkotsu’s Domain shattered, so he targeted his brain with Reverse Cursed Technique and expanded Pure Translation of All Phenomena again.
