After Isayama Naraku was attacked and presumed dead, Medea saved him and Tsuchimiya Garaku, while Isayama Yuu seized the chance to claim authority over the Isayama Family. Eiji and the two wounded family heads set out to confront the brewing coup and investigate Isayama Mei’s connection to a Curse User.

• Isayama Naraku assessed the gathered Isayama Family members and had Tsuchiya Garaku wheel him toward Isayama Yuu and Isayama Mei.
• Isayama Naraku asked Yuu whether he had tried to kill him to seize the family head position, and Yuu collapsed under Tsuchiya Garaku’s killing intent.

• Tamamo-no-Mae declared that Sanzu River could no longer fulfill their agreement and began incarnating through him.

Tamamo-no-Mae rejected Sanzu River’s hope that she would revive his parents, completed her incarnation, and retrieved the seventh Cursed Stone from a hidden Barrier. She discovered a vast collection of Cursed Objects and imprisoned Cursed Spirits inside, mistook Tengen for the Barrier’s owner, and claimed the place for her revenge against the Fujiwara Clan; elsewhere, Kenjaku sneezed and wondered if someone was cursing him.

• Ryu Ishigori grew impatient and demanded that Tamamo-no-Mae fight him, so she suggested they move somewhere more suitable.

Their findings pointed to powerful Curse Users and drew attention to Takako Uro and Dhruv, leaving the investigators to consider whether the missing people were Vessels.

• Medea treated Tsuchiya Garaku and Isayama Naraku, while Michael Kohara and Medea created a Cursed Tool that summoned the Grade 1 Shikigami Hannya.

The Hokkaido Jujutsu Division discovered that Great Tengu’s seal had been broken, while Eiji learned from Isayama Naraku’s reports that the Special Grade Cursed Spirit was moving south. Eiji also recognized Takako Uro in an investigation photograph, leaving Isayama Naraku with a possible lead on the enemy.

• A Jujutsu Sorcerer team found Great Tengu’s shrine destroyed and reported the broken seal after the local division failed to handle the incident quietly.
• Dhruv had delayed breaking the seal to negotiate favorable terms in a Binding Vow with Great Tengu, and encountered a second investigating team.

• Eiji recognized Takako Uro in a photograph among the reports and confirmed to Isayama Naraku that he knew her.

Eiji tracked Takako Uro to a Barrier, where Tamamo-no-Mae and Dhruv were turning unconscious people into Vessels. After Dhruv detected him and his Shikigami struck, Eiji summoned Mahoraga to destroy the exhibition hall.

• Eiji used Rabbit Escape to locate Takako Uro and followed her north to a Barrier by the sea.
• Eiji entered the Barrier and found Tamamo-no-Mae choosing Cursed Objects while Dhruv watched over the Vessels.
• A bald man threatened Tamamo-no-Mae, but her Shikigami bit off his hand and pierced his vital point.
• Dhruv detected Eiji hiding in the shadows and sent a Shikigami to attack him.
• Eiji used Falling Blossom Emotion to neutralize the attack, then summoned Mahoraga and ordered it to destroy the place.

Eiji unleashed Mahoraga against Dhruv and Ryu Ishigori, while the fighters’ attacks forced Mahoraga to adapt and recover. As Mahoraga faced five Special Grades, Eiji continued his fight with Ryu Ishigori and the battle escalated.

• Mahoraga adapted to Dhruv’s attacks, drove him into summoning his enormous Great Fish Shikigami, and was blasted outside the Barrier by Ryu Ishigori’s Cannon Fire.
• The Great Fish Shikigami roared and struck Mahoraga, but Mahoraga adapted, grew to match its size, and repeatedly smashed it into the ground until Dhruv dismissed it.

• Tamamo-no-Mae and Kurourushi joined Great Tengu and Takako Uro as Mahoraga emerged from a crater to face the five Special Grades.

Eiji and the sorcerers struggled to contain Mahoraga as it adapted to their attacks, while Eiji tried to buy it time to adapt. Eiji then summoned a fused Shikigami to attack the Great Tengu and used his shadows to disrupt Ryu Ishigori and bombard Tamamo-no-Mae’s group.

• Takako Uro mocked Dhruv, but Tamamo-no-Mae stopped their argument and warned them that Mahoraga was the legendary strongest Shikigami.
• Dhruv, the Great Tengu, Takako Uro, and Kurourushi combined their attacks, but Mahoraga adapted, kicked Takako Uro into the sea, and kept fighting.

• Eiji activated Maximum Technique: Ten Shadows Wheel and fused Nue with Tiger Funeral into the Tiger-Eagle, sending it to attack the Great Tengu.
• Eiji summoned the Great Serpent to throw Ryu Ishigori into the sea, then covered the area around Tamamo-no-Mae and the others with shadow arrows.

Eiji used his shadows and Shikigami to keep the Special Grade sorcerers occupied while Mahoraga continued adapting. The battle turned against the opponents when Mahoraga exorcised Kurourushi, and Takako Uro found she could no longer move him.

• Eiji sent Rabbit Escape against Kurourushi's cockroaches and used a concealed Piercing Bull to badly wound Dhruv's Great Fish Shikigami.

• Mahoraga struck Kurourushi from behind with the Demon-Slaying Sword and instantly exorcised him.
• Takako Uro tried to seize Mahoraga, but she could not move him as his Dharma Wheel turned and his adaptation continued.

Eiji recovered from Ryu Ishigori’s blast, surveyed the ongoing fight against Mahoraga, and discovered rooms filled with Cursed Spirits and apparent Vessels inside the Barrier. He decided to call Satoru and Geto for help, but a small figure approached him with a dagger as he prepared to leave.

• Eiji emerged from the shadows and watched Takako Uro, Ryu Ishigori, Dhruv, and Tamamo-no-Mae battle Mahoraga.

• Eiji abandoned the idea of attacking the group and decided to call Satoru and Geto, unaware that a small figure had appeared behind him with a dagger.

Eiji was discovered while infiltrating the Barrier and fought the reincarnated Jujutsu Sorcerers inside. After breaking out with the flood, he healed his injuries and faced the survivors, summoning Qiongqi as the Ten Shadows Wheel turned.

• A shadow-infiltrating woman attacked Eiji with a poisoned dagger, but he escaped detection only briefly before the Sorcerers exposed him.
• The Sorcerers lit the Barrier to restrict the shadows, forcing Eiji into a fight where he identified the thin man's spatial-gate Technique.
• When the Sorcerers argued over who would kill him, Eiji attacked with Maximum Technique: Ten Shadows Wheel and overwhelmed them with Rabbit Escapes, Dumbo, Toad, and Great Serpent.
• A Sorcerer blasted a hole through the Barrier, and the escaping flood carried Eiji and the remaining fighters outside.
• Eiji used Round Deer to heal, saw that nearly half the reincarnated Sorcerers had died, and summoned Qiongqi as the Ten Shadows Wheel turned.
