Chapter Summaries

After learning that Mahito had transformed humans into Cursed Humans, Riezel vowed to make him suffer and swiftly killed Jogo and Hanami. Mahito and the remaining cursed spirits faced a foe they feared might be even more terrifying than Gojo Satoru.

• Riezel realized the Cursed Humans Mahito had created retained their awareness while enduring unbearable suffering, and he had granted their pleas for death.
• Mahito explained that Idle Transfiguration altered souls and thereby changed bodies, then showed Riezel small human figures he had transformed.
• Riezel calmly told Mahito he would make him experience hell, and the cursed spirits sensed his terrifying presence.
• Jogo threatened the nearby crowd, but Riezel appeared in a flash of lightning and beheaded him with a black blade.
• Hanami attacked with roots, but its body swelled with tumors and pustules before exploding into chunks of flesh.

Riezel killed Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon while rescuing the human hostages, then trapped Mahito in the subway station. Mahito’s modified humans were no match for Riezel, who purified them and struck Mahito down.

• Mahito watched Riezel kill Jogo with a single sword strike and destroy Hanami with magic.

• Mahito tried to summon more Cursed Humans, but Riezel appeared before him and punched him in the abdomen, sending him flying.

Riezel brutally overpowered Mahito inside the blood-red cage, inflicting pain that bypassed Mahito’s usual defenses. Cornered and unable to escape, Mahito expanded his domain, Self-Embodiment of Perfection, and unleashed its soul-twisting power on Riezel.

• Riezel’s attacks shattered the platform and wounded Mahito, who turned into sludge to evade a direct strike.

• Riezel told Mahito he would destroy him before giving him a gift, and Mahito trembled as he approached.
• Mahito opened his mouth and expanded his domain, Self-Embodiment of Perfection, where a power capable of twisting Riezel’s soul descended upon him.

Riezel defeated Mahito by unleashing his own Infinite Void, then used Idle Transfiguration to condemn Mahito to endless suffering and sent it through a Gate of Darkness into the ocean. As Riezel turned to face a new challenger, a monk-like man watched Yuji, Megumi, and Nanami running through Shibuya and prepared to act.

• A mysterious voice challenged Riezel from behind, and he turned to face a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
• Earlier, a monk-like man watched Shibuya and predicted Jogo and Mahito would soon die before shifting his attention to Yuji, Megumi, and Nanami running below.

Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, and Nanami Kento fought through Shibuya but were defeated by the monk-like man who appeared to be Geto Suguru. He fed Ryomen Sukuna’s fingers to Itadori Yuji, awakening Sukuna, who set off toward Riezel Brihaut.

• Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, and Nanami Kento defeated two Special Grade Cursed Spirits and several Curse Sorcerers as they advanced toward the third Curtain.
• Nanami Kento urged the injured trio to retreat, but Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi chose to continue deeper into Shibuya.
• The monk-like man overwhelmed the trio, restrained Fushiguro Megumi, and left Nanami Kento and Itadori Yuji badly wounded.
• The monk-like man fed Ryomen Sukuna’s fingers to Itadori Yuji, awakening Sukuna and revealing his plan to change the world now that Gojo Satoru was sealed.
• Ryomen Sukuna left to seek out Riezel Brihaut, eager to face his powerful shikigami, while Nanami Kento and Fushiguro Megumi fell unconscious.

Ryomen Sukuna revived in Itadori Yuji’s body after absorbing fifteen fingers and confronted Riezel in the ruins of Shibuya. After exchanging attacks and discussing Sukuna’s interest in Mahoraga, they prepared to clash as Sukuna opened his Domain Expansion, Demon Subjugation Kitchen Shrine.

• The chapter recounted Sukuna’s rise as the Heian Era’s King of Curses and explained how Itadori Yuji became his vessel after swallowing a finger.
• After Itadori Yuji lost consciousness and swallowed more fingers, Sukuna regained control with the power of fifteen fingers and went to confront Riezel.
• Sukuna attacked Riezel with invisible slashes, but Riezel’s Infinity deflected them while a blood-red storm wounded Sukuna.
• Sukuna healed his injuries with Reverse Cursed Technique, and Riezel said he would not hold back because he could bring Itadori Yuji back to life.
• Sukuna asked Riezel to summon Mahoraga, but Riezel questioned whether Sukuna had recovered enough power to face it.
• Sukuna formed a Dandain Seal and activated his Domain Expansion, Demon Subjugation Kitchen Shrine.

Riezel endured Ryomen Sukuna’s sure-hit slashes with Radiant Golden Crimson Body and dominated their battle inside Demon Subjugation Kitchen Shrine. After Sukuna concluded that Riezel could not finish him, Riezel immobilized him with Cursed Speech and touched his chest to use Idle Transfiguration.

• Ryomen Sukuna unfolded Demon Subjugation Kitchen Shrine and unleashed countless sure-hit slashes, but Riezel nullified and endured them with Radiant Golden Crimson Body.
• Riezel attacked Sukuna with bloody whips and powerful blows, then fought him hand to hand while Infinity stopped Sukuna’s punches from landing.

• Sukuna reasoned that Reverse Cursed Technique would let him keep fighting, while Riezel confronted him and announced that he could still deal with him.
• Riezel used Cursed Speech to bind Sukuna in place, then touched his chest and activated Idle Transfiguration.

Riezel defeated Ryomen Sukuna in Shibuya, but Sukuna withdrew into Itadori Yuji before Riezel could destroy his soul. As Riezel healed Yuji, a monk-like man and a woman discussed Sukuna’s vessel and began preparing their next moves.

• Sukuna collapsed Riezel’s Domain with a flame attack, but Riezel emerged unharmed and summoned Bull Monster and Elephant God.

• Riezel used Idle Transfiguration on Sukuna, but Sukuna retreated deep into Itadori Yuji, forcing Riezel to stop before Yuji’s soul was harmed.
• Riezel healed Itadori Yuji with Reverse Cursed Technique while a distant Cursed Spirit watched and departed.
• A monk-like man and a woman discussed Sukuna’s vessel; the woman said Sukuna had a plan and that she would take him away, while the man prepared to act and warned Riezel not to interfere.

After Sukuna forced Itadori Yuji into a Binding Vow, Yuji awoke to learn that Fushiguro Megumi was missing and Gojo Satoru had been sealed. Jujutsu Headquarters issued rulings that made Yuji, Gojo, Yaga Masamichi, and Riezel Brihaut targets of the jujutsu authorities, leaving them branded enemies of the entire Jujutsu World.

• Itadori Yuji awoke in Sukuna’s Innate Domain, where Sukuna boasted that he would kill Riezel Brihaut and Gojo Satoru and obtain a weapon strong enough to defeat Riezel.
• Sukuna struck Itadori Yuji and tricked him into agreeing to a Binding Vow that would prevent Yuji from stopping Sukuna when he left Yuji’s body.
• Itadori Yuji awoke in a basement beside Nanami Kento and Riezel Brihaut, who told him that Fushiguro Megumi had gone missing and Gojo Satoru had been sealed.
• Jujutsu Headquarters declared Geto Suguru alive and sentenced him to death, expelled Gojo Satoru, sentenced Yaga Masamichi to death, revoked Itadori Yuji’s suspended death sentence, and ordered Riezel Brihaut transferred from Jujutsu High.

After waking in the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident, Itadori Yuji learned that the Jujutsu World had condemned him, Yaga Masamichi, and Gojo Satoru while treating Riezel as a shared asset. Riezel decided to find Geto Suguru, who might have taken both the Prison Realm and Fushiguro Megumi, and the chapter left Megumi’s disappearance unexplained.

• Nanami Kento told Itadori Yuji that Gojo Satoru had been sealed, Yaga Masamichi had been sentenced to death, Yuji’s suspended sentence had been revoked, and Riezel had been transferred as a shared asset.
• Nanami explained that the Jujutsu World blamed Gojo and Yaga for covering for Geto Suguru, while Yuji and Riezel were also in danger from its orders.
• Yuji asked where Fushiguro Megumi was, and Nanami and Riezel said Megumi had vanished after the attack in Shibuya.
• Riezel said Curse Users were searching Shibuya and that he intended to find Geto Suguru.
• Riezel reasoned that Geto had likely taken the Prison Realm and might also have abducted Fushiguro, though he could not understand why.

Riezel decided to search for Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru, and Fushiguro Megumi, while Nanami Kento and Itadori Yuji set out to rescue Principal Yaga. Riezel arrived in ruined Shibuya and sent summoned Little Fairies in every direction to look for them.

• Riezel reasoned that Geto Suguru had likely taken Fushiguro Megumi for his Ten Shadows Technique and decided to find them and free Gojo Satoru.
• Nanami Kento warned Riezel that helping Gojo Satoru could put him at odds with the Jujutsu Supervisory Department, but Riezel dismissed the threat and chose to act alone.
• Riezel told Itadori Yuji that he could not remove Ryomen Sukuna's soul and warned him to focus on his own death sentence and the danger inside him.
• Nanami Kento stopped Itadori Yuji from following Riezel and reminded him that Principal Yaga had also been sentenced to death, so they needed to rescue him.
• Riezel appeared over ruined Shibuya and summoned Little Fairies, sending them across the city to search.

• Eight members of “A” activated the Eight-Eyed Pillar, trapping Riezel in a burning prison platform, and he suddenly lost the ability to sense cursed energy.

Riezel broke free of the Eight-Eyed Pillar and defeated the Jujutsu Headquarters squad that had come to capture him, then hired Mei Mei to find Geto Suguru. Jujutsu Headquarters subsequently wanted him captured alive.

• Riezel’s Unrestricted Development Ability strengthened his cursed energy, allowing him to blast apart the Eight-Eyed Pillar and its altar.

For nearly a month, Riezel searched the devastated Tokyo Metropolis for Geto Suguru while fighting Cursed Spirits and dealing with the disaster’s aftermath. An information broker’s latest report revealed that Tokyo Jujutsu High had been attacked again.

• Riezel sensed the immense cursed energy and presence of Rika behind Okkotsu Yuta, and Yuta calmed her before greeting him.

Riezel and Okkotsu Yuta fought across the ruined city, and Okkotsu used Immoral Game, Cursed Speech, and Black Flash to land a powerful blow. Riezel recovered and countered, but the monstrous figure behind Okkotsu emerged to protect him and drove Riezel off the rooftop.

• Riezel and Okkotsu Yuta traded sword strikes through buildings before landing on a rooftop and discussing their close-combat abilities and Itadori Yuji.

• Riezel appeared behind Okkotsu and immobilized him with Cursed Speech before swinging his black blade at him.
• A savage figure erupted behind Okkotsu, blocked Riezel's slash with its giant arm, and blasted him off the rooftop.

Riezel fought Okkotsu Yuta and Rika in Shinjuku, eventually defeating them and holding Yuta at blade-point. After the battle, Riezel offered to heal Yuta, who revealed that he had already recovered with Reverse Cursed Technique, while wondering why Riezel had held back his famed techniques.

After their battle, Okkotsu Yuta explained that Gojo Satoru had asked him to protect Riezel and Itadori Yuji, and revealed how he had fulfilled Jujutsu Headquarters’ orders through Binding Vows. Riezel learned that Yuta had killed and revived Itadori, while the others had entered the Culling Game to rescue Gojo and Fushiguro.

• Okkotsu Yuta told Riezel that Gojo Satoru had warned him he might disappear and asked him to help Riezel and Itadori Yuji if they were targeted.
