• Akesato questioned Tsumiki Kuonji about Swablu, and she pointed him toward Naoya Zenin.

• Suguru Geto threatened Akesato and Yuta Okkotsu, then escaped by having a Cursed Spirit swallow him and vanish.

• Akesato revealed that Maki had a twin sister, Mai, and that Maki had a reverse Heavenly Restriction but had not yet reached zero cursed energy.
• Tsumiki realized that Maki and Mai were identical twins and explained that twins had long been considered ominous in the Jujutsu world because their existence could disrupt Jujutsu inheritance.

• Tsumiki Kuonji left Akesato's room after they agreed to travel the wider world together, and Mai grew jealous when she saw them teasing each other.

At Lu Xun’s memorial in Sendai, Akesato reflected on the cruelty of the Jujutsu world and the examples set by those who resisted it. He resolved to cultivate his Pokémon and help create a new era, as a fresh seed of conviction took root within him.
