Chapter Summaries

Satoru Gojo observed Kyoto’s tactics against Megumi Fushiguro while Akesato investigated Mai’s supposed trump card and found no evidence of one. Mai revealed that she had lied to Maki to lure her away from the team, and the sisters began fighting.

• Satoru Gojo noticed Kyoto’s third Pokémon approaching Kamo Noriki instead of hunting Cursed Spirits so it could help him against Megumi Fushiguro.
• Kamo Noriki relied on a Pokémon as his fight with Megumi Fushiguro continued, while Akesato questioned Mai’s partner Pokémon and learned it knew nothing about her supposed secret move.
• Akesato saw Mai’s Gyarados and Milotic relaxing together at the pond and felt reassured by how well the Pokémon got along.
• Maki confronted Mai about luring her away, and Mai admitted she had stalled and lied because Maki’s wristband made her a threat to Kyoto’s team.
• Mai said she also wanted to defeat Maki using her own strength, and the sisters raised their weapons and began to fight.

Mai used a sniper rifle, flashbang, and fragmentation grenade to catch Maki off guard during their exchange-event battle, while the observers debated Mai’s unconventional methods. Watching Kyoto School’s students reject the old hierarchy, Gakuganji recognized that the times had changed.

• Maki expected to subdue Mai at close range, but Mai threw her sniper rifle at her and followed with a flashbang and fragmentation grenade.
• The blast blinded the monitoring screen and killed the crows relaying the battle, so Meimei restored surveillance and praised Mai’s resourcefulness.
• Gojo mocked Utahime as the weakest observer, and Utahime threw her teacup at him while insisting she was his senior.
• Gojo told Gakuganji that the conservatives’ traditionalist approach was losing popularity as Mai and other students pursued their own paths.
• Gakuganji watched the students’ independence and accepted that the times had changed.

Gakuganji Yoshinobu considered how Pokémon support and the students’ changing attitudes were weakening the conservative faction. Meanwhile, the exchange event battles intensified, with Megumi Fushiguro in trouble and Maki and Mai facing off.

• Gakuganji Yoshinobu reflected that safer missions had made young sorcerers less eager to climb the hierarchy, undermining the conservatives’ influence.

• Mai Zenin used grenades and a Calico M950 submachine gun to keep Maki Zenin at a distance.

Maki and Mai continued their fight, with Mai using sustained gunfire and a powerful Contender G2 to keep Maki at bay. Maki realized she had to take Mai seriously and charged back toward her, ready to endure injury.

• Maki dodged Mai's M950 fire and grenades while waiting for Mai to run out of ammunition.
• Mai used a flashbang and grenades to reload the M950 and resume firing when its magazine ran dry.

• Mai revealed her weapon expertise and reloaded both guns, while Maki recognized her sister as a serious opponent.
• Maki considered Mai's possible Jujutsu, prepared to charge through her attacks, and turned back toward her.

Maki and Mai fought a close-range battle in which Maki endured Mai’s gunfire and explosives to close the distance. Mai’s final bullet curved past Maki’s sword and struck her shoulder, leaving the duel unresolved.

• Maki advanced while dodging Mai’s M950 fire and deflecting shots from the Competitor with her sword.
• Maki used Uraume to swallow Mai’s flashbang, then redirected a fragmentation grenade and charged through the remaining blast and gunfire.
• Mai briefly reinforced herself to match Maki’s speed, threw her overloaded M950, and detonated it to send metal fragments at Maki.
• Mai reloaded the Competitor and fired as Maki blocked, but the bullet veered around the sword and hit Maki’s shoulder.

Maki and Mai fought to a decisive finish as Mai revealed a powerful bullet created with her Cursed Technique, but Maki survived the shot and brought her blade to Mai’s neck. Maki then explained how she had countered the bullet and asked Mai how she had changed its trajectory.

• Mai resented Maki for making decisions for her and keeping her at a distance, even as she admired her sister’s strength and resolve.
• Mai pushed her exhausted mind to recreate a bullet with her Cursed Technique and fired it at Maki’s knee.
• Maki redirected the bullet’s impact into her calf and rushed Mai, stopping her blade at the junction of Mai’s neck and shoulder.
• Maki said she had used Falling Blossom Emotion to counter the shot, then asked Mai how she had altered the bullet’s course.

Mai revealed that she had deliberately spared Maki’s vital spots, then threw herself onto Maki’s sword to fulfill the condition for the Twin Ritual. She began the ritual with Maki, sending her sister into a strange world as the twins’ bodies returned to the form they shared before birth.

• Mai explained how she had made her bullets curve and admitted she had avoided Maki’s vital spots.

Utahime Iori and Yuta Okkotsu headed toward the ongoing battles, but Satoru Gojo stopped them after Akesato called and warned them not to disturb Maki and Mai. Akesato had secretly returned to Jujutsu High and watched as the twins approached a mysterious transformation that could change the jujutsu world.

• Utahime Iori decided to go to the forest with Yuta Okkotsu to check on the injured students and remaining Cursed Spirits.
• The battle intensified: Megumi Fushiguro and Kamo Noriki fought through serious injuries, while Nobara Kugisaki exploited Mechamaru’s connection to Kokichi to force him out of the fight.
• Toge Inumaki withdrew, Arcanine was badly injured, and the remaining teams and fighters continued their battles across the forest.
• Satoru Gojo received a call from Akesato, who told him not to interfere with Maki and Mai; Gojo relayed the warning and sent Utahime Iori and Yuta Okkotsu away.
• Akesato revealed that his supposed return through customs was a decoy, kept Uraume away from Maki and Mai, and watched as their souls and bodies began to converge into a single whole.

Mai recalled how Maki had comforted and protected her as children, and how she had resented Maki for leaving the Zenin family while still understanding her reasons. The grown sisters reunited by the river, where Maki embraced Mai and reassured her that they had always been each other’s support.

• As a child, Mai trembled at the Head Staff guarding the Zenin gate, so Maki took her hand and led her past it with her eyes closed.
• Mai remembered promising Maki never to let go and later resented her sister for leaving the family, though she understood Maki had done it to protect her.
• Mai admitted to herself that she had come to Kyoto Jujutsu High hoping to grow strong enough for Maki to see and confide in her.
• When Mai called out to her beside the river, Maki stopped and turned toward her.
• Maki embraced Mai and told her she had always seen Mai as her support, and Mai began to cry.

Maki and Mai realized that they shared an Innate Domain and learned how being twins had restricted their Jujutsu and growth. Mai prepared to sever their Jujutsu connection so Maki could become free of cursed energy while Mai became a full Jujutsu Sorcerer.

• Maki recognized the Kyoto Zenin estate in the scenery and concluded that she and Mai were together in an Innate Domain.
• Mai explained that identical twins shared one Cursed Technique, cursed energy, and Innate Domain, which had limited both sisters’ abilities and growth.

• Mai told Maki she planned to sever their Jujutsu connection while preserving their bond as sisters.
• Mai pulled the last of Maki’s cursed energy from her body as part of Big Sister Tsukumo’s Twin Completion Plan.

Mai completed the Twin Completion Plan, reuniting the twins’ cursed energy and Innate Domains and leaving Maki with immense strength. The sisters woke in their bodies together, but an inexplicable shiver interrupted their reunion.

• Mai used blood, shared wounds, controlled breathing, and her Innate Domain to prepare the twins for completion.
• Mai extracted the last physical manifestation of cursed energy from Maki and fused it with her own cursed energy and Innate Technique.

• Maki thanked Mai inwardly, then cradled her sister as Mai woke and greeted her.
• The sisters shared a quiet moment before an inexplicable shiver rose within them.

After completing their transformation, Maki and Mai detected a Special Grade Cursed Spirit and rushed to help Utahime Iori, confident in their newfound strength. They ambushed two attackers, and Maki and Mai stood their ground as Utahime warned them the enemies were dangerous.

• Maki sensed an abnormal Cursed Spirit while Mai discovered her cursed energy and eyesight had improved after the ritual.
• Maki and Mai recognized the Spirit as Special Grade, then picked up their weapons and hurried toward Utahime Iori.
• Maki attacked the long-haired man while Mai fired a constructed bullet, but the man dodged and the bald axe-wielder blocked Maki's blade.
• Maki punched the axe-wielder, recovered her blade and his Stripping Axe, and Mai used cursed energy to separate the weapons.
• The bald man identified himself as Kurourushi and threatened Mai, while Utahime warned the sisters to retreat.
• Maki and Mai refused to back down, declaring that they were stronger.

Utahime Iori and Yuta Okkotsu encountered Kurourushi and Shuhei while hurrying to protect the students from the intruders. Utahime joined Maki and Mai, who revealed their enhanced abilities and prepared to fight the two enemies.

• Utahime Iori told Yuta Okkotsu to go ahead while she held off Kurourushi and Shuhei, but she retreated when the pair proved too strong together.

• Maki shattered Shuhei’s spine and damaged his internal organs, then tossed him aside and looked toward Mai’s battlefield.
• Mai met Maki’s gaze with a confident smile as the battle ended.

Mai used her perfected Construction Cursed Technique to capture Kurourushi and learn that five Curse Users had entered the area. As Utahime sent Maki and Mai to pursue the others, Maki revealed that she could not sense Yuta Okkotsu inside the Curtain.

• Mai transformed Thousand Mile Lock with her Construction Cursed Technique and bound Kurourushi, who eagerly offered himself as material for her work.

• Yuta rebuilt Kokichi’s limbs and repaired his skin and nerves.
• Kokichi stood from his wheelchair, walked a few steps, and celebrated being able to feel and move normally.

Yuta Okkotsu and Akesato helped Kokichi regain the ability to walk, and he eagerly emerged into the sunlight. Kokichi then launched his Gundam with Blissey and flew to the battlefield at Jujutsu High.

• Yuta Okkotsu used Idle Transfiguration to restore Kokichi’s body and impart the instincts and experience needed to walk.

• Kokichi activated his underground base and launched the white humanoid machine he had built, with Blissey accompanying him in the cockpit.
• Kokichi piloted Ultimate Mechamaru: Mode Absolute to Jujutsu High, where it landed on the battlefield behind the mountain.

Kokichi arrived in Ultimate Mechamaru: Mode Absolute and used its immense firepower to destroy Hanami’s forest battlefield. He located Hanami underground and exposed her true body, leaving the fight poised to continue.

• Kokichi unleashed the Ultra Canon and destroyed Hanami’s giant Jianmu.
• Kokichi fired the Double Obarai Cannon, scorching the forest and its underground roots before greeting his astonished classmates.

• Kokichi sent Blissey to locate Hanami and fired five homing rounds that tore up the forest and revealed Hanami’s true body.

Kokichi used Ultimate Mechamaru: Unit Zero and a squad of puppets to pressure Hanami, but she charged into the students to stop his cannon attack. Aoi Todo, Yuji Itadori, and the others then teamed up to keep Hanami under an uninterrupted assault, leaving her trapped in a seemingly endless beating.

• Kokichi halted his cannon bombardment when Hanami rushed into the crowd, then deployed ten mass-produced puppets to surround her.

• The students kept Hanami under constant attack for five minutes, leaving her too pressured to use her other abilities.

Yoshinobu realized the cursed spirits’ apparent defeat might be a diversion and warned that a hidden attack could be coming from above. Jogo, waiting in orbit, launched his ultimate technique, Meteor, to rescue Hanami and Mahito.

• Yoshinobu questioned why the special-grade cursed spirits had exposed themselves and asked Porygon-chan for Satoru Gojo and Akesato’s locations.
