Chapter Summaries

Uraume’s new rule made the Culling Game barriers freely accessible, and Sukuna arrived in the Sendai Barrier in Fushiguro Megumi’s body after completing the Bathing Ritual.

Sukuna learned that Riezel had likely sent Erik Mozart into the Sendai Barrier, but his suspicions about Erik’s identity were interrupted by Riezel’s sudden attack. Riezel destroyed Nue with the Ominous Black Demon Sword, carried Sukuna outside the barrier, and blasted him down with Red.

• Sukuna asked Kengso about Riezel, and Kengso explained that Riezel had vanished after fighting Okkotsu Yuta and had likely recruited Erik to help save Fushiguro Megumi.

• Angel said she had not known Itadori Yuji was Sukuna’s vessel until Uraume revealed it, and agreed to help Riezel’s group oppose Sukuna.
• Kashimo Hajime declared Sukuna his opponent and challenged Riezel after hearing of his strength.
• Riezel clarified that Sukuna had only consumed fifteen fingers when Riezel defeated him, and that Gojo Satoru could also have beaten him then.
• Kashimo pressed Riezel to fight, but Riezel used Instant Magic: Time Stop and Magic Effect Delay: Energy Absorption to drain Kashimo’s power.
• Riezel told Kashimo that his loss of strength was temporary, then turned to explain what had happened on his end.

After defeating Kashimo Hajime, Riezel revealed Kengso’s plan to assimilate humanity with Master Tengen and assigned the group to stop it while he searched for the Prison Realm. The chapter left Riezel preparing to locate it so Angel could free Gojo Satoru, while Kashimo left unsettled by Riezel’s strength.

• Riezel defeated Kashimo Hajime in a single exchange, shocking the gathered sorcerers and players.
• Riezel explained Kengso’s plan to assimilate humanity with Master Tengen and warned that Itadori was in enemy hands and Fushiguro had become Sukuna’s vessel.

• Tsukumo Yuki and Riezel confirmed that the Prison Realm was not with Kengso, and Angel said her Cursed Technique could undo its seal and free Gojo Satoru.
• Riezel left to search for the Prison Realm using Wish Upon a Star, and Kashimo Hajime recovered enough to leave after hearing Kakinoki Kenji warn him not to provoke Riezel.

Riezel retrieved the Prison Realm from the bottom of a deep-sea trench after defeating the Cursed Spirits guarding it. The group gathered in Tokyo and prepared to have Kurusu Hana undo its seals and release Gojo Satoru, despite worries about how long he might have experienced inside.

• Riezel followed a magical map to the Prison Realm at the bottom of a trench more than 8,000 meters deep.
• Cursed Spirits emerged from the Prison Realm and attacked Riezel, who used Blue and Cleave to destroy them and take the Prison Realm.
• Riezel teleported back to Tokyo, where Tsukumo Yuki examined the Prison Realm and found that Kengso had placed more than ten additional seals on it.
• Tsukumo Yuki explained that Kurusu Hana would need to undo the seals and that Gojo Satoru's experience of time inside the Prison Realm might have differed greatly from the outside.
• Kurusu Hana agreed to begin undoing the seals immediately and flew into the sky with her wings and halo.

Kurusu Hana and Angel destroyed the Prison Realm with their Cursed Technique, freeing Gojo Satoru. He immediately struck Riezel, but the two greeted each other with a slap of their hands as Gojo Satoru returned.

• Kashimo Hajime told Kakinoki Kenji he would save his once-in-a-lifetime Cursed Technique for his vowed battle against Ryomen Sukuna, though he wanted to challenge Riezel again.

• Riezel warned everyone to step back, but Gojo Satoru rushed him and sent the surrounding group flying with the impact.
• Riezel blocked Gojo Satoru's elbow strike, and the two exchanged a forceful slap of their hands.

Riezel and Gojo Satoru opened their assault on Sukuna, Uraume, and Kengso with a combined Hollow: Purple, but the three survived using the Ten Shadows Technique. Kengso revealed that he had taken Itadori Yuji’s body, Sukuna was using Fushiguro Megumi’s, and Uraume had taken Kugisaki Nobara’s, leaving Riezel and the others facing the loss of all three former classmates.

• Riezel and Gojo Satoru destroyed the Giant Fish Cursed Spirit with Blue and Red, then combined the techniques into Hollow: Purple against Sukuna and his companions.

• Riezel reflected on how Sukuna and Kengso had taken Fushiguro Megumi’s and Itadori Yuji’s bodies while Kugisaki Nobara remained missing.
• Riezel noticed Hammer and Nails at Uraume’s waist and concluded that Uraume had taken Kugisaki Nobara’s body; Kengso confirmed Uraume had changed bodies because Riezel had damaged his Ice Condensation Sorcery.

Riezel and Gojo Satoru argued over who would fight Ryomen Sukuna first, then Uraume attacked and triggered the battle. As Gojo Satoru and Sukuna opened their Domains, Okkotsu Yuta and the others pursued Kengso, who was fleeing to advance his plan.

• Riezel and Gojo Satoru debated who would fight Ryomen Sukuna first, then settled on rock-paper-scissors.

• Sukuna’s slashes shattered Gojo Satoru’s black barrier, and Gojo emerged gravely wounded as Sukuna’s domain attacked him.

• Gojo Satoru and Sukuna expanded their domains for a second time, and Gojo changed his barrier to withstand Sukuna’s attacks longer.
• Gojo used Blue-enhanced strikes to pressure Sukuna, but Sukuna’s technique gradually neutralized Blue and the two exchanged heavy blows.
• Gojo’s domain shattered, and Sukuna’s sure-hit slashes badly wounded Gojo before he escaped the domain’s range and healed.
• Gojo and Sukuna taunted each other, and Gojo said Sukuna had already lost once when he faced Riezel.
• Riezel appeared in front of Gojo and blocked Sukuna’s slashes by manipulating space, then announced a halftime substitution as the formation above Sukuna stopped turning.

Riezel took over the fight against Ryomen Sukuna, using his improved Immoral Game technique to overpower him. Sukuna summoned Mahoraga, and the battle was left poised against the Ten Shadows Technique’s untamed final shikigami.

• Riezel interrupted Gojo Satoru’s fight, warning that Sukuna’s ritual wheel had completed its rotation and putting Gojo at a disadvantage.
• Riezel struck Sukuna with immense force and used his improved Immoral Game to switch positions with him, redirect attacks and batter him through Shinjuku.

• Riezel challenged the injured Sukuna to summon the being represented by the ritual wheel.
• Sukuna chanted and summoned Mahoraga, the untamed final shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique.

Riezel fought Sukuna, Mahoraga, and their shikigami across the city, blocking their attacks without being injured. Gojo Satoru realized Riezel's Cursed Energy Output had surged after learning Ishiryuu's technique, and Riezel was using the battle to adapt to his newfound power.

Riezel fought Sukuna and his shikigami across the ruined Shinjuku, while Mahoraga adapted to his techniques and managed to wound him. Riezel unleashed an immense barrage of Red against Sukuna and Mahoraga, leaving their fate unclear amid the explosions.

• Riezel killed the Bull Monster, blasted Mahoraga away with Red, and crushed the Divine Dogs and Great Serpent beneath a sphere of rubble.
• Mahoraga adapted enough to bypass Riezel’s defenses and cut his hand, so Riezel healed it with Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Riezel recognized that Mahoraga’s adaptation was nearing its next stage and moved to end the fight before it grew more dangerous.
• Mahoraga prepared an adapted Sword of Extermination strike, but Riezel vanished and reappeared above Sukuna and Mahoraga.
• Riezel chanted an incantation and formed countless enormous Reds, while Sukuna raised Mahoraga as a shield and expanded his Domain.
• Riezel ordered the Reds to descend, and they struck the ground in a relentless barrage of explosions.

Riezel unleashed a catastrophic barrage of Red and Hollow: Purple, destroying Shinjuku, killing Mahoraga, and apparently erasing Sukuna. As the light faded and Riezel prepared to leave, an unfamiliar inhuman figure stopped him.

• Riezel’s Red meteor shower devastated Shinjuku, forcing the surviving fighters to flee while Gojo Satoru rescued the Assistant Supervisors’ headquarters building.
• Sukuna shielded himself behind Mahoraga and used his domain to block the Reds, but both suffered severe injuries from the explosions.
• Riezel unleashed a blue meteor shower and combined Red with Blue to create an amplified Hollow: Purple.
• Hollow: Purple annihilated Mahoraga and swallowed Sukuna’s domain, leaving Riezel to believe Fushiguro Megumi’s body had been destroyed.
• As Riezel turned to leave, an unfamiliar inhuman figure called out to him from the crater.

• Sukuna called for the final battle, and he and Riezel charged into each other at the boundary between their Domains.

After the other fighters returned victorious, Riezel and Ryomen Sukuna continued their battle in the Mirror Domain, trading blows while their allies watched. Sukuna then struck Riezel with a slash that bypassed his slashing-nullifying magic through pain, leaving him stalled as countless more slashes descended.

• Kurusu Hana, Kashimo Hajime, Kakinoki Kenji, Okkotsu Yuta, Tsukumo Yuki, Zenin Maki, Panda, Inumaki Toge, and the others returned after defeating Uraume and Kengso, bringing back Itadori Yuji's body.
