Chapter Summaries

Utahime worried that Kyoto School’s students were taking the exchange event more seriously than her classmates, while Eiji, Mei Mei, and Shoko settled in for a picnic. As Mei Mei spotted three Kamo Family sorcerers nearby, Eiji reflected on the Three Great Families and Kenjaku’s hidden influence on the Kamo Family.

• Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto left the group to hunt Cursed Spirits, while Eiji suggested a picnic and Shoko said she would not fight.
• Utahime admitted she was the only one nervous about the exchange event, and Eiji teased her until she blushed.
• Mei Mei used Black Bird Manipulation to find a picnic spot, and Eiji produced food and supplies from his shadow.
• Mei Mei spotted three Kamo Family sorcerers to the west, and Eiji said they could be ignored if they did not disturb the picnic.
• Eiji considered how the Zenin, Kamo, and Gojo Families maintained their strength, concluding that Kenjaku had likely contributed to the Kamo Family’s accumulated resources and influence.

During the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event, Gojo, Geto, and the picnic group each encountered Kyoto School opponents. Artoria quickly knocked out three students, while Gojo defeated his attackers and left them tied up in a tree.

• Gojo faced a Kyoto team led by a Kamo Family Jujutsu Sorcerer, whose coordinated attack failed against Gojo’s Limitless.
• Geto sweetened his Cursed Spirit Jade with Eiji’s potion, then went to investigate a Cursed Spirit that had disappeared.
• Mei Mei warned the picnic group that Kyoto students were approaching, and Eiji sent Artoria to handle them.
• Artoria knocked out all three Kyoto students before returning to her meal.
• Gojo used the Blood Snake to restrain the three Kyoto Sorcerers in alluring poses from a tree.

As Tengen’s assimilation approached, Kenjaku planned to use Toji Fushiguro to disrupt the bond between Tengen and the Star Plasma Vessel, while arranging to keep Dongfang Eiji away from the others. Medea secretly returned to protect Riko Amanai, as Kenjaku prepared several Cursed Objects for his scheme.

• Kenjaku reviewed Jujutsu High’s roster and concluded that Toji Fushiguro needed to handle Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, Artoria, Heroic Spirit Emiya, and Dongfang Eiji.
• Kenjaku decided to lure Dongfang Eiji away with a mission and selected several Special Grade Cursed Objects to aid his plan.
• Medea secretly visited Riko Amanai, chose not to investigate her body, and placed a red gemstone inside her to ease her troubled sleep.
• Kenjaku chose a Buddha-Demon Cursed Object for his next move and gathered a Turtle-like Cursed Object, a Bone Spike, and a Wad of Old Threads to trap Eiji and stall Saber.

Medea paid Toji Fushiguro to preserve a target’s brain and corpse during an upcoming commission, then clean up afterward, while an acquaintance offered him another commission worth the same amount. Meanwhile, Jujutsu Headquarters dispatched Heroic Spirit Emiya to a hostage crisis in Nagasaki, keeping him away from Eiji’s expected plans.

• Medea appeared in Toji Fushiguro’s room and offered him a five-hundred-million commission, with a fifty-million deposit, requiring him to leave the target’s brain and corpse intact and clean up afterward.
• Toji Fushiguro took Medea’s cash home for Megumi and the others, then received a call from Shiu Kong about a separate five-hundred-million commission.
• Toji Fushiguro suspected he was being maneuvered like a chess piece and went to meet Shiu Kong, curious about the person and matter behind the commission.
• Masamichi Yaga told Heroic Spirit Emiya that Jujutsu Headquarters had assigned him to rescue children held hostage by Curse Users at a Nagasaki temple where a Special Grade Cursed Spirit had been found.
• Heroic Spirit Emiya accepted the mission and resolved to finish it quickly so he could answer Eiji’s summons afterward.

Eiji and Artoria received a mission to investigate a suspected Special Grade Cursed Spirit, while Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto were assigned by Lord Tengen to protect the Star Plasma Vessel. Eiji suspected the mission might be a trap, but the inexperienced Assistant Supervisor’s report gave him no clear sign of a setup.

• Masamichi Yaga told Eiji that ten fishermen had disappeared and a Special Grade Cursed Spirit was suspected, so Eiji agreed to go with Artoria.
• Masamichi Yaga received a separate mission designated by Lord Tengen for Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, and explained that they had to guard the Star Plasma Vessel and stop those targeting her.
• Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto learned that Lord Tengen needed to assimilate with the Star Plasma Vessel to prevent an unfavorable evolution, and they agreed to take the important mission seriously.
• Eiji noticed that his mission’s Assistant Supervisor was a replacement for Shuji Zenin and considered whether the Jujutsu Management Council was trying to mislead or trap him.
• The Assistant Supervisor described a string of disappearances on an island and said an investigation had identified a Cursed Spirit, but could not clearly explain why it was suspected to be Special Grade.
• Eiji concluded that the Assistant Supervisor was merely inexperienced and wondered what threat could keep him occupied for the two days before the Star Plasma Vessel’s assimilation.

Eiji and Artoria explored a sealed, illusory Dragon Palace City while Mahoraga adapted to its effects. Elsewhere, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto rescued Riko Amanai, whose first meeting with them quickly turned into a scuffle.

• Eiji and Artoria entered the underwater cave, unaware that a woman with stitched seams across her forehead had sealed its entrance and left for Tokyo Jujutsu High.
• Artoria sensed something wrong in Dragon Palace City, and Mahoraga revealed that its vivid scenery was an illusion attached to real objects.
• After Mahoraga adapted enough to protect Artoria from the illusion, Eiji and Artoria began investigating the lifeless city.
• Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo defeated Curse User organization Q and found Riko Amanai unconscious.
• When Riko Amanai woke, she slapped Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, mistaking them for attackers.
• Misato Kuroi arrived on Eiji's Sea Bull to find Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto twisting Riko Amanai's limbs, then called Geto a man with a tuft of hair over his forehead.

Toji Fushiguro accepted the Star Religious Cult’s job but used the deposit to spread a disguised bounty for the Star Plasma Vessel, setting his plan against the Jujutsu Sorcerers in motion. Delayed by staged road accidents, Heroic Spirit Emiya reached the temple and learned that the enemy included three Curse Users and the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Kishimojin.

• Toji Fushiguro accepted Shiu Kong’s job and told him to use the deposit to post a forty-hour commission for an unnamed ordinary person, dead or alive.
• Toji Fushiguro left Shiu Kong to publish the commission and looked forward to killing the Star Plasma Vessel and humiliating the Jujutsu Sorcerers.
• After a landslide and an overturned truck delayed the convoy, Heroic Spirit Emiya used Spiritron Conversion to travel to the mission site alone.
• Heroic Spirit Emiya arrived at the temple rendezvous and met Tanaka, the Assistant Supervisor overseeing the site.
• Tanaka reported that three Curse Users and a Special Grade Cursed Spirit were inside the temple, identified the spirit as Kishimojin, and said the hostages were not in immediate danger.

Toji Fushiguro captured Misato Kuroi to lure Riko Amanai, while Heroic Spirit Emiya investigated the Curse Users holding children in Kishimojin's Living Domain. After Kishimojin drove the Curse Users outside, Emiya prepared to strike them with three arrows.

• Shiu Kong used Toji Fushiguro's commission to draw in two Curse Users, whom Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto quickly defeated.
• Toji Fushiguro knocked out Misato Kuroi, tied her up, and sent her picture to Riko Amanai before Shiu Kong took her to the Star Religious Cult.
• Heroic Spirit Emiya gathered information from the Assistant Supervisor's delivery and estimated that the Curse Users were no stronger than Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerers.
• Inside Kishimojin's Living Domain, a Curse User roughly fed a child, prompting Kishimojin to attack him despite her Binding Vow with Kenjaku.
• The Curse Users fled the temple hall, and Heroic Spirit Emiya nocked three arrows as they gathered outside.

Heroic Spirit Emiya rescued the children held in Kishimojin's temple by killing the three Curse Users and exorcising the Special Grade Cursed Spirit. With the children safe and Jujutsu Headquarters grateful, Emiya left the remaining work to them and went on to his other tasks.

• Heroic Spirit Emiya shot the three Curse Users with arrows made from Crimson Hounds, then charged into the temple.
• Heroic Spirit Emiya used Unlimited Blade Works to shatter Kishimojin's Innate Domain and moved the children into his Reality Marble.
• Heroic Spirit Emiya told the children to close their eyes and count to sixty, then pierced Kishimojin with a Fake Sword and destroyed her with Broken Phantasm.
• Heroic Spirit Emiya led the unharmed children out of the temple, where medical personnel and Jujutsu Sorcerers took over.
• Heroic Spirit Emiya handed out food and candy to the children, received thanks from the gathered personnel, and left the remaining work to them.

Eiji and Artoria explored the decaying Dragon Palace City, defeated its Cursed Spirit, and discovered that time had become distorted inside. When they found a Barrier sealing the exit, Artoria destroyed the palace with Excalibur, and Eiji saw the Cursed Spirit’s true form from above.

• Eiji and Artoria entered the ruined Dragon Palace and encountered a Cursed Spirit that appeared as a beautiful dragon goddess when Eiji changed how he perceived it.
• Artoria fought and defeated the Cursed Spirit while Eiji observed that it was a strong Grade 1 and tried to avoid damaging the palace.
• Eiji noticed that his phone still showed 14:07, and Artoria judged that it should have been at least 16:00.
• Eiji and Artoria returned to the entrance, found it sealed by a Barrier, and decided to destroy Dragon Palace City.
• Artoria fired Excalibur and reduced Dragon Palace City to ash, while Eiji rode Qiongqi into the sky and confirmed the Cursed Spirit’s true form.

Eiji realized the Dragon Palace incident had cost him two days and rushed back toward Tokyo Jujutsu High, fearing he would arrive too late. Kenjaku learned Eiji was returning, prepared for both Toji Fushiguro's success and failure, and loaded his robe with Cursed Objects.

• Eiji and Artoria escaped the collapsing cavern on Qiongqi, and Mahoraga killed the Turtle Cursed Spirit.
• Eiji noticed the date had advanced by two days and recognized the incident as a version of the Urashima Taro legend.

• Eiji identified the black-robed woman as likely Kenjaku and called for reinforcements.

Eiji and Artoria fought Kenjaku and his Special Grade Cursed Spirits, but Kenjaku’s layered barriers and Taotie’s Cursed Energy Cannon forced Eiji to change his plan. With Heroic Spirit Emiya joining the battle, Eiji surrounded Kenjaku, who used Anti-Gravity Mechanism to escape and began a Domain Expansion.

• Artoria charged Kenjaku while Eiji used Great Waterfall Technique to disrupt the Cursed Spirits, but Bone Woman and Jorōgumo joined forces against her.
• Eiji summoned Giant Elephant and used Mahoraga hidden in his shadow to kill a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, while Kenjaku formed barriers and unleashed Taotie’s Cursed Energy Cannon.

• Heroic Spirit Emiya struck Taotie with an arrow and Broken Phantasm, allowing Eiji to attack Kenjaku as Crimson Hounds pursued him.
• Kenjaku used Anti-Gravity Mechanism to halt Eiji and escape the surrounding attacks, then ordered Taotie to attack Emiya and began a Domain Expansion.

Eiji and Kenjaku clashed in their Domains, and Eiji’s Shikigami and allies killed Jorōgumo while Mahoraga battled Yamato no Orochi. Kenjaku escaped through Tokyo Jujutsu High’s Barrier after buying enough time to await news from Toji Fushiguro.

• Suguru Geto absorbed Taotie with Cursed Spirit Manipulation, and Heroic Spirit Emiya went to watch Eiji's battle.

Mahoraga and Yamato no Orochi repeatedly adapted to each other as they fought, with Yamato no Orochi using hardened liquid, Cursed Energy blasts, armor, and curses to restrain and damage Mahoraga. Mahoraga adapted faster and used the Demon-Slaying Sword to steadily overwhelm Yamato no Orochi, leaving the battle’s advantage firmly with him.

• Yamato no Orochi sprayed hardening liquid over Mahoraga’s Demon-Slaying Sword, but Mahoraga broke the stone casing and enlarged his body to match Yamato no Orochi’s size.

• Eiji set out to find Satoru Gojo, unaware that Satoru had already left Tokyo Jujutsu High.

Satoru Gojo revived himself by mastering Reverse Cursed Technique and awakened Reverse Cursed Technique: Red. Meanwhile, Toji Fushiguro and Medea dealt with the Star Religious Cult, as Gojo headed toward Riko Amanai’s fate and the ongoing battles.

• As he lay dying, Satoru Gojo used the warmth from Heroic Spirit Emiya’s healing to understand Reverse Cursed Technique and restore his body.

• Toji Fushiguro and Medea set fire to Star Religious Cult headquarters, killing its upper ranks while ordinary followers were arrested.
