Chapter Summaries

Gojo Satoru sensed Riezel unleashing special-grade Blood Manipulation while the officials grew uneasy about Gakuganji Yoshinobu’s plan. In the forest, Riezel overpowered Todo Aoi in close combat, exchanged Black Flashes with him, and learned the secret of Todo’s position-swapping technique.

• Gojo Satoru sensed a surge of special-grade Blood Manipulation from the forest and realized Riezel was likely responsible.
• Yaga Masamichi and Utahime Iori urged Gakuganji Yoshinobu to stop delaying, but Gakuganji decided to give the Kyoto students more time.
• Riezel met Todo Aoi in hand-to-hand combat and sent him flying with a powerful punch.
• Todo Aoi used Immoral Game to swap positions with Riezel, then struck him with a Black Flash.
• Riezel answered with his own Black Flash and overpowered Todo Aoi, who used Immoral Game again to switch their positions.
• Todo Aoi explained that Immoral Game swapped objects with cursed energy when he clapped, and Riezel wondered whether its activation condition could be improved.

Riezel defeated Todo Aoi by using Blue while suppressing his cursed energy enough to nullify Todo’s Immoral Game, then warned the person who had sent Todo to leave him alone. As Riezel departed, Mahito and the monk-robed Geto raised a curtain around Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School and unleashed an attack to test Riezel.

• Todo Aoi realized Riezel had overwhelmed him physically without using cursed energy, then charged to stop Riezel from activating his technique.
• Riezel used Normal Cursed Technique: Blue while suppressing his cursed energy, preventing Todo Aoi’s Immoral Game from switching their positions.
• Riezel crushed Todo Aoi beneath a mass of debris, then dispelled Blue and left him injured with a warning for whoever had sent him.
• Todo Aoi joked about his preference for tall women with big asses, and Riezel replied that Todo did not understand the benefits of big ones.
• Mahito and the monk-robed Geto placed a curtain over Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School that barred Gojo Satoru while allowing others to pass.
• Geto activated Cursed Spirit Manipulation and ordered a group of Cursed Spirits to begin attacking, intending to see what Riezel could do.

A powerful veil descended over the forest during the exchange event, trapping the students with a horde of cursed spirits while barring Gojo Satoru from entering. The students and faculty fought to regroup and protect everyone, and Itadori Yuji's group abandoned its battle with the Kyoto students to flee the spirits.

• Gojo Satoru identified the veil as one that barred only him, while Yaga Masamichi ordered the faculty to support him and protect the students.
• The faculty entered the forest and fought through a vast horde of cursed spirits, including more than a dozen Semi-Grade 1 or stronger spirits.
• Zenin Maki, Kugisaki Nobara, and Fushiguro Megumi fought cursed spirits and decided to withdraw west to regroup with the others.
• Itadori Yuji defeated Zenin Mai and Nishinomiya Momo with Panda and Inumaki Toge's help, leaving Mechamaru under siege before the cursed spirits interrupted the fight.
• Itadori Yuji's group abandoned its battle and fled as the cursed spirits overran the forest.

Riezel rescued Todo Aoi, Miwa Kasumi, and Kamo Noritoshi from a forest swarming with cursed spirits, then used the Limitless Cursed Technique to draw the spirits into a massive meteorite. After a battle axe revealed the presence of enemy Curse Users, Riezel confronted three attackers and insulted the dancer who tried to seduce him.

• Riezel killed a mantis cursed spirit, healed Todo Aoi, and summoned shikigami to fight the cursed spirits surrounding Todo Aoi, Miwa Kasumi, and Kamo Noritoshi.
• Riezel gathered the Kyoto students and flew them above the forest, where they found the sky filled with cursed spirits and Kamo Noritoshi suspected a Night of a Hundred Demons.
• Riezel unleashed Blue across the forest, pulling cursed spirits and debris into a growing meteorite as students and faculty watched in shock.
• A massive cursed battle axe flew at Riezel but stopped at Infinity, and he sent Miwa Kasumi, Todo Aoi, and Kamo Noritoshi away with Nue before descending to investigate.
• Riezel blasted several hidden Curse Users out of their hiding place and faced a lama, an axe-wielding brute, and a seductive dancer who revealed a bounty on his head.
• Riezel dismissed the dancer's attempt to seduce him by saying she was far less attractive than his attendant, making her seductive expression vanish.

Riezel faced three Curse Sorcerers hired to kill him and killed their strongest fighter with one punch. When a Special Grade Cursed Spirit appeared, he used Hollow: Purple, wiping out the spirit, the fleeing Curse Sorcerers, and the cursed spirits in the area.

• The lama, the dancer, and the axe-wielding giant attacked Riezel after accepting a bounty on his head, believing Gojo Satoru would not intervene.
• The dancer's hypnotic technique failed against Riezel, and he caught the giant's axe barehanded before killing the giant with a single punch.
• The lama summoned spider shikigami as he and the dancer fled, while a fifty-meter-tall Special Grade Cursed Spirit approached Riezel.
• Riezel combined Blue and Red to perform Hollow: Purple, destroying the giant cursed spirit, the fleeing lama and dancer, and the cursed spirits in its path.

The monk-like man learned that Riezel Brihaut could rival Gojo Satoru, but decided to keep the plan to seal Gojo unchanged and leave Riezel to the King of Curses. After the Cursed Spirit attack ended the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event, Riezel was summoned to meet with Yaga Masamichi, Gojo Satoru, Gakuganji Yoshinobu, and Utahime Iori.

• The monk-like man used a water-snake Cursed Spirit to learn that Riezel could use Hollow: Purple and judged him a threat on Gojo Satoru's level or greater.
• Mahito reported that he had obtained what they wanted, and the monk-like man chose to proceed with the plan to seal Gojo Satoru while leaving Riezel to the King of Curses.
• The monk-like man and Mahito withdrew, expecting Jujutsu High to blame the attack on highly intelligent Cursed Spirits rather than suspect his involvement.
• Yaga Masamichi and Gakuganji Yoshinobu ended the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event early and sent students and reinforcements to clear the remaining Cursed Spirits.
• After Gakuganji Yoshinobu saw Riezel and Itadori Yuji return from the forest, Yaga Masamichi summoned Riezel to the principal's office, where Gojo Satoru, Gakuganji Yoshinobu, and Utahime Iori were waiting.

Riezel told Yaga Masamichi and the others that Curse Sorcerers had targeted him during the exchange event, prompting suspicion about who had placed the bounty. The group connected the attack to a highly intelligent Cursed Spirit that had stolen dangerous Cursed Objects, but the bounty on Riezel remained unexplained.

• Riezel said three Curse Sorcerers had tried to claim a bounty on his head, and he suspected Gakuganji Yoshinobu because Kyoto students had previously probed him.
• Yaga Masamichi and Gojo Satoru rejected Gakuganji's suggestion that Geto Suguru's Cursed Spirit Manipulation was behind the invasion, since Gojo had killed Geto the previous year.
• Yaga revealed that Jujutsu High's Cursed Object warehouse had been infiltrated, its guards killed, and several Special Grade Cursed Objects, including Ryomen Sukuna's fingers, stolen.
• Gojo Satoru and the others concluded that the exchange event attack had distracted them while a highly intelligent Cursed Spirit raided the warehouse, likely using a technique that altered human bodies.
• Utahime Iori asked how the bounty on Riezel fit the scheme, and Yaga said it might have been a coincidence or the work of another Jujutsu World higher-up.

With the bounty on Riezel unresolved, Jujutsu High placed the Jujutsu World on alert to find and exorcise Mahito. Gojo Satoru showed Riezel his Infinite Void domain and explained that Riezel might eventually use multiple techniques to create different domains.

• Yaga Masamichi ordered the Windows to investigate Riezel’s bounty and declared a full alert to locate Mahito and the dangerous Cursed Objects.
• Gojo Satoru and the others agreed that Mahito, as a highly intelligent cursed spirit, had to be found and exorcised.
• Riezel decided he wanted to encounter Mahito to learn its technique, but planned to first practice Blood Manipulation and Immoral Game.
• Gojo Satoru took Riezel to the courtyard and deployed Infinite Void, explaining Domain Expansion and its effects.
• Gojo Satoru predicted that Riezel could develop multiple domains by imbuing different techniques, and Riezel asked whether he was in a hurry.

Gojo Satoru warned Riezel that a major threat was coming and urged him to learn Domain Expansion, while Riezel revealed that Geto Suguru was involved in a plot to seal Gojo. After Gojo disappeared and jujutsu incidents surged worldwide, Yaga Masamichi assigned Riezel to handle cases suspected of reaching Special Grade.

• Gojo Satoru told Riezel that he sensed a huge upheaval coming and wanted Riezel to learn Domain Expansion so he could help if something happened to him.
• Riezel warned Gojo Satoru that Geto Suguru was working with the intelligent Cursed Spirits and plotting to seal him, despite Gojo insisting that Geto was dead.
• Gojo Satoru disappeared, while Yaga Masamichi struggled to contact him and Jujutsu High continued clearing Cursed Spirits from the forest.
• Yaga Masamichi told Riezel that Cursed Spirits and Curse Sorcerers were appearing dozens or even hundreds of times more often than before, approaching the frequency of the Heian Era.
• With Jujutsu High overwhelmed and Gojo absent, Yaga Masamichi asked Riezel to handle major jujutsu incidents suspected of reaching Special Grade, and Riezel agreed.

Riezel destroyed a Fly Cursed Spirit that had killed 427 people inside an incomplete domain, then learned that the Jujutsu World had seen an abnormal surge in high-level incidents. He and Shinsei Kikyo headed back to the hotel as he recognized that the wider chaos required an explanation.

• Riezel walked through the skyscraper while his Spirit Dogs slaughtered the cursed spirits in its corridors.
• In the Sky Garden, Riezel confronted the Fly Cursed Spirit, which had eaten 427 people and turned the building into an incomplete domain.
• Riezel used Cursed Speech to silence, pin down, and slowly twist the Fly Cursed Spirit to death, causing the domain to disappear.
• Riezel returned to Shinsei Kikyo's limousine, and she reported that he had resolved 137 jujutsu incidents in a month, including 44 special-grade cases.
• Riezel noted that so many Grade 1 and special-grade incidents in one month were abnormal, reflecting chaos spreading through society.

Riezel learned that a wave of unusually frequent high-level Jujutsu incidents had thrown the Jujutsu World and human society into crisis. Shinsei Kikyo gave him intelligence on four highly intelligent Special Grade Cursed Spirits, leaving him informed about the threats behind the outbreak.

• Riezel learned that forty-four Special Grade incidents had occurred across the country in the past month, while Jujutsu High and major Curse User families struggled to investigate the cause.
• Shinsei Kikyo gave Riezel Jujutsu High's intelligence report and explained that four highly intelligent Cursed Spirits had been confirmed.
• Riezel read that Mahito transformed people into Cursed Humans, had killed every Curse User who encountered him, and had infiltrated Jujutsu High's Cursed Object storage vault.
• Shinsei Kikyo described Jogo's devastating fire and volcanic abilities and Hanami's control of plants, hostility toward humans, and ability to pass through barriers.
• Riezel learned that Dagon appeared timid and might still be an unhatched Cursed Womb, though the Windows expected it to reach Special Grade after hatching.

Riezel learned that the higher-ups planned to send him after four powerful Special Grade Cursed Spirits while Gojo Satoru remained missing. Gojo finally confronted the monk-like man claiming to be Geto Suguru, but sensed that the man was not truly Geto.

• Riezel learned that the four intelligent Special Grade Cursed Spirits were linked to worldwide jujutsu incidents and that the higher-ups suspected they had a larger plan.
• Shinsei Kikyo told Riezel that Gojo Satoru had disappeared and that the higher-ups planned to assign Riezel to fight the four Cursed Spirits once their location was confirmed.
• Riezel reviewed his growing Ability Values, agreed to rest before the next mission, and considered Mahito's cursed technique a worthwhile target.
• A monk-like man spoke over the phone and announced that their great undertaking would begin, despite the plan having been disrupted.
• Gojo Satoru confronted the monk-like man in a rainy alley, who identified himself as Geto Suguru, but Gojo insisted that his soul rejected him and demanded to know who he was.

Riezel completed Dimensional Slash and considered combining it with his Breathing Technique sword arts. Shinsei Kikyo then sent him to Shibuya, where a powerful battle involving Gojo Satoru and a returned Curse Sorcerer appeared to be underway.

• Riezel finished mastering Dimensional Slash and demonstrated how it severed space.
• Riezel planned to combine Dimensional Slash with Sun Breathing, Moon Breathing, and Thunder Breathing to strengthen his close-combat attacks.
• Shinsei Kikyo reported that a massive veil had appeared amid powerful gravity, huge cursed energy, and thousands of summoned cursed spirits.
• Shinsei Kikyo told Riezel that Gojo Satoru might be fighting a powerful Curse Sorcerer believed to be dead, and that Jujutsu High and the Curse User families were mobilizing.
• Riezel went to Shibuya and saw the district covered by a far more powerful veil than the one at Jujutsu High.

Riezel entered the deserted Shibuya and reunited with Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, Ijichi Kiyotaka, and Nanami Kento. Ijichi explained that a second, stronger veil had trapped the missing civilians and that the enemy had allied with numerous Curse Sorcerers.

• Riezel passed through Shibuya's outer veil and found the streets empty and wrecked.
• Itadori Yuji called Riezel over, and Riezel greeted Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi before meeting Ijichi Kiyotaka and Nanami Kento.
• Ijichi Kiyotaka explained that sorcerers had been summoned to exorcise four Special Grade Cursed Spirits and locate Gojo Satoru.
• Ijichi Kiyotaka told Riezel that more than two hundred thousand civilians had been trapped in Shibuya before disappearing into an area behind a second veil.
• Ijichi Kiyotaka reported that the stronger inner veil obstructed Curse Users and that hostile Curse Sorcerers had killed or abducted some who tried to approach it.

Riezel joined Nanami Kento, Itadori Yuji, and Fushiguro Megumi at the powerful veil trapping civilians in Shibuya and said he would test his blade against it. Before he could act, Zenin Naobito and other Zenin Family Curse Users confronted him over his use of the Ten Shadows Technique.

• Ijichi Kiyotaka explained that Curse Sorcerers allied with Geto Suguru's faction and highly intelligent Cursed Spirits had attacked the Curse Users, complicating the situation in Shibuya.
• Nanami Kento said the Jujutsu higher-ups might abandon the civilians if saving them proved impossible, prompting Itadori Yuji to object and Fushiguro Megumi to calm him.
• Riezel volunteered to break the high-grade veil, then used a burst of speed to bring Itadori Yuji, Nanami Kento, and Fushiguro Megumi to it.
• Curse Users watching the veil recognized Riezel, and Zenin Naobito approached with Zenin Family members to question him about learning their Ten Shadows Technique and taming Yatsuka Sword: Ikaishinsho.
• Riezel urged Zenin Naobito to move aside so they could save the civilians, but the Zenin Family Curse Users grew hostile and drew their Cursed Tools until someone ordered them to stop.

Riezel stopped Zenin Naobito’s Curse Users with Cursed Speech and rejected Naobito’s offer to join the Zenin Family. When invisible Curse Sorcerers launched an attack, Riezel and the others fought back, but the attackers’ numbers left the battle unresolved.

• Riezel restrained the Zenin Family Curse Users with Cursed Speech, and Zenin Naobito offered to adopt him and make him heir to the family head position.
• Riezel refused Naobito’s offer and said Naobito was not strong enough to be his father.
• Riezel caught an invisible Curse Sorcerer, and his Divine Dog bit and exposed the attacker; Itadori Yuji, Zenin Naobito, and Nanami Kento struck other hidden enemies.
• Fushiguro Megumi summoned his Divine Dogs and Nue to help locate the invisible Curse Sorcerers as they attacked and injured the surrounding Curse Users.
• Riezel’s Limitless Cursed Technique stopped the invisible attackers’ blows, while their own techniques revealed them; Zenin Naobito and Nanami Kento realized they needed to find the sorcerer who had made them invisible.
• Itadori Yuji went to help the wounded, while Riezel saw that many invisible Curse Sorcerers remained.

Riezel turned the battle in Shibuya against the Curse Sorcerers, then used a black blade and Moon Breathing to break the barrier blocking Curse Users. The chapter ended with the barrier shattered and the way inside opened.

• Riezel used Clear World, Blue, and Red to expose and scatter the invisible Curse Sorcerers, allowing Itadori Yuji and the others to counterattack.
• Fushiguro Megumi’s Nue and Nanami Kento helped defeat the invisibility user and the tentacle-wielding Curse Sorcerer, dispelling the concealment technique.
• Riezel memorized the sorcerers’ techniques and blasted a Curse Sorcerer with Red, while Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, Nanami Kento, and Zenin Naobito drove the Curse Sorcerers back.
• Riezel created a black blade and pierced the barrier with an attack surrounded by black-red lightning that looked like Black Flash.
• Riezel used Moon Breathing’s Seventh Form, Calamity Mirror Moon Reflection, to slash apart the pitch-black barrier.

Riezel destroyed the second Curtain with a Moon Breathing sword form empowered by Dimensional Slash, then slaughtered the fleeing Curse Users and gathered their blood into a Blood Pool. After the group entered the Curtain, they discovered a third barrier, and Riezel concluded that the layered Curtains were meant to trap Gojo Satoru.

• Riezel combined Dimensional Slash with Calamity Mirror Moon Reflection and sliced apart the Curtain that prevented Curse Users from entering or leaving.
• Riezel used the command "Explode" to kill the fleeing Curse Sorcerers, then gathered their blood with Blood Manipulation to form a Blood Pool.
• Nanami Kento, Itadori Yuji, and Fushiguro Megumi followed Riezel into the destroyed Curtain while Zenin Naobito ordered his people to continue the mission and report what had happened.
• Riezel and the others found a third Curtain covering downtown Shibuya, and Nanami Kento noted that each layer appeared to have a different effect.
• Riezel said the layered Curtains were for Gojo Satoru and that Gojo had probably been trapped so the enemy could seal him.

Riezel entered the third curtain and found that Gojo Satoru was likely trapped behind the final barrier in the subway. He encountered transformed humans begging for death, purified them, and continued onward with a cold expression.

• Nanami Kento and Fushiguro Megumi realized Gojo Satoru's absence could explain the Curse Sorcerers' invasion, and Riezel explained why Gojo's potential sealing had emboldened them.
• Riezel rushed ahead while Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, Nanami Kento, Zenin Naobito, and the other Jujutsu Sorcerers fought the Cursed Spirits outside the third curtain.
• Riezel passed through the third curtain, recognized it as a barrier likely designed to affect Gojo Satoru, and deduced that Gojo was inside the subway beyond the fourth curtain.
• Riezel entered the subway and killed the attacking monsters with spears formed from his Blood Pool.
• Riezel realized the monsters were humans who begged him to kill them, then used Brilliant Radiance to purify them and was left cold-faced.

Riezel fought Mahito, Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon on the flooded subway platform while protecting the missing humans. Jogo revealed that Gojo Satoru had been sealed in the Prison Realm, and Riezel demanded to know why Geto Suguru was absent.

• Riezel entered the platform, where he found missing humans standing motionless among the corpses of people and monsters.
• Mahito tried to use Idle Transfiguration on Riezel, but Riezel evaded him and kicked him into a subway train.
• Jogo and Hanami attacked Riezel with flames and roots, but he used Blue to stop their attacks and sent them flying with his Spirit Dogs.
• Dagon flooded the platform and sent giant piranhas after Riezel, but Riezel used Red to blast away the water and save the humans.
• Jogo, Mahito, Hanami, and Dagon surrounded Riezel, who asked where Geto Suguru was.
• Mahito said Geto had left the rest to them, and Jogo revealed that Gojo Satoru had been sealed inside the Prison Realm.
