• Suguru Geto counted fewer than five thousand of his original cursed spirits but celebrated gaining two Special Grade Cursed Spirits and began scouting the battlefield for more prey.

• Satoru Gojo evaded and subdued the four Nine-Tailed Foxes, then used one of their tails as a broom to chase the others.
