Chapter Summaries

After Seiya fought Ryomen Sukuna, Itadori regained control of his body, and Seiya and Fushiguro Megumi worried about Sukuna taking over again. Gojo Satoru arrived and invited Seiya and Itadori to Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School, enticing them with free uniforms.

• Ryomen Sukuna attacked Seiya recklessly, but Itadori regained control before the fight could continue.
• Seiya questioned Itadori about suppressing Sukuna, and he and Fushiguro Megumi stopped Itadori from trying to bring Sukuna out again.
• Seiya and Itadori worried that their ruined uniforms and the damaged school would cause trouble with Sugisawa High School.
• Gojo Satoru offered Seiya and Itadori places at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School and promised free uniforms.
• Itadori and Seiya reacted eagerly to the offer, then joked about the school's students being handsome men.

Seiya and Itadori agreed to enroll at Tokyo Jujutsu High, and Gojo Satoru tested whether Itadori could suppress Ryomen Sukuna by letting Sukuna take control. Itadori regained control easily, while Sukuna added Gojo Satoru to the top of his kill list.

• Gojo Satoru reassured Seiya and Itadori that Tokyo Jujutsu High admitted women and persuaded them to enroll.
• Gojo Satoru explained that he had watched Seiya fight Sukuna and was impressed that Itadori had suppressed Sukuna’s consciousness.
• Gojo Satoru asked Itadori to let Sukuna take control again, and Sukuna emerged ready to attack.
• Gojo Satoru punched Sukuna and beat him for ten seconds before asking Itadori to reclaim his body.
• Itadori suppressed Sukuna and regained control, prompting Sukuna to put Gojo Satoru above Seiya on his kill list.

Gojo Satoru subdued Itadori and explained his plan to use him as a Vessel to consume Ryomen Sukuna’s Fingers, giving him a chance at a reprieve. Seiya and Itadori arrived at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, where Gojo said Itadori still had to pass the Principal’s entrance exam.

• Gojo Satoru knocked Itadori unconscious, and Seiya summoned three Shikigami to face him.
• Gojo explained that Itadori could live if he consumed Ryomen Sukuna’s Fingers, and told Seiya they were not yet strong enough to challenge the jujutsu higher-ups.
• Gojo took Itadori to a talisman-covered room and explained the plan; Itadori accepted his reprieve and swallowed a second Finger.
• Itadori emerged safely with Gojo and eagerly anticipated attending school in Tokyo.
• Itadori complained that Tokyo Jujutsu High School was a remote mountain temple, and Gojo told him he still had to pass the Principal’s entrance exam.

At Tokyo Jujutsu High, Principal Gakuganji Yaga tested Seiya and Itadori to learn why they wanted to become sorcerers. Seiya passed by destroying his Cursed Corpse in one punch, while Itadori began adapting to his opponent as Gakuganji summoned Panda for Seiya’s next test.

• Gakuganji asked Seiya and Itadori why they wanted to enter the school, then sent Autonomous Cursed Corpses to push them to their limits.
• Seiya shattered the rabbit doll and its core with one punch, while the Kappa doll battered Itadori.
• Gakuganji questioned Gojo about Seiya’s abilities and decided to call Panda to test him.
• As Seiya and Gojo watched, Itadori began dodging the Kappa’s attacks and copied Seiya’s Fa Jin-like punch using Cursed Energy.

Seiya faced Panda in his entrance exam at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High, where Panda immediately transformed into his powerful Adamantine Gorilla state. Seiya blocked Panda’s heavy punch and struck him with a Cursed Energy-infused uppercut that caused Panda unexpected pain.

• Maki Zenin and Toge Inumaki wondered why Seiya’s entrance exam was being conducted by second-year students, and Fushiguro Megumi described Seiya as an untrained sorcerer who could not be judged by ordinary standards.
• Panda began the exam by entering his Adamantine Gorilla state and leaping at Seiya with a powerful punch.
• Seiya blocked Panda’s punch head-on and counterattacked with a strike to Panda’s belly.
• Panda traded blows with Seiya, but Seiya’s Tetanus Break uppercut sank into Panda’s body and caused him sharp pain.

Wenren Seiya overwhelmed Panda during a sparring assessment, displaying exceptional speed, strength, martial arts, and a Cursed Energy technique. Gakuganji Yaga decided Panda alone could not assess Seiya's rank and called Maki and Inumaki into the fight.

• Panda struck Seiya with a powerful punch, but Seiya's Fa Jin uppercut hurt Panda and launched him into the air.
• Fushiguro Megumi explained that Seiya used Fa Jin to make Cursed Energy erupt inside his opponents and deal a second wave of damage.
• Seiya rapidly pursued Panda and sent him flying with a roundhouse kick, then slammed him into a crater.
• Gakuganji Yaga recognized that Seiya had held back and that Panda could not fully assess his strength.
• Gakuganji Yaga called Maki and Inumaki to join the assessment, and they took combat stances.

After Seiya easily suppressed Panda, Gakuganji Yaga reconsidered his strength and approved a test against Maki, Inumaki, and Fushiguro Megumi. Gojo Satoru confirmed that Seiya could summon powerful Shikigami and might possess an Innate Technique, and Seiya eagerly prepared to face all four opponents.

• Maki and Inumaki accepted that Seiya was strong enough to justify a team fight after seeing him defeat Panda.
• Fushiguro Megumi offered to join Maki and the others against Seiya, warning that Seiya could command several powerful Shikigami and had not yet fought seriously.
• Gojo Satoru confirmed that Seiya possessed a powerful Shikigami inheritance that might be an Innate Technique.
• Gakuganji Yaga approved a one-against-four fight to assess Seiya's Jujutsu Sorcerer rating.
• Seiya welcomed the larger challenge and looked forward to unleashing his strength.

Maki, Inumaki, Panda, and Fushiguro Megumi teamed up against Seiya, using their Shikigami and coordinated attacks to pin him down. Seiya escaped their finishing move by summoning the Winged Fire Snake, which restrained Panda.

• Maki asked Fushiguro Megumi what Shikigami Seiya could summon, and Megumi described a horned golden dragon, a fire tiger, and a fox.
• Maki struck Seiya with Cloud of the Wanderer and sent him flying, while Megumi's Divine Dogs pounced on him.
• Seiya summoned the Tail Fire Tiger, which knocked away the white Divine Dog as the black one escaped into the shadows.
• Panda grabbed Seiya from behind and tried to slam him to the ground with a backdrop.
• Seiya summoned the Winged Fire Snake, which coiled around Panda and stopped his attack.

Seiya faced Panda, Fushiguro Megumi, Maki Zenin, and Inumaki in a group spar, using his Shikigami and martial arts to withstand their coordinated attacks. As Maki’s final strike approached, Seiya formed a Cursed Energy blade and clashed with her naginata, revealing that he also knew swordsmanship.

• Fushiguro Megumi summoned Nue to free Panda from the Winged Fire Snake, but Seiya struck Panda with a vacuum fist blast and sent him crashing into Nue.
• Maki Zenin and Fushiguro Megumi coordinated an attack with Chasing Clouds, and Megumi struck Seiya as he tried to block the Special Grade Cursed Tool with his arm.
• Maki rushed to attack the falling Seiya, but Inumaki used Cursed Speech to repel the Tail Fire Tiger and Winged Fire Snake before collapsing from the backlash.
• Maki swung her naginata at Seiya, who formed a Cursed Energy blade and met her attack, saying he knew a little about swordsmanship.

Seiya defeated Tokyo Jujutsu High’s second-years and Fushiguro Megumi during his entrance exam, earning a Grade 2 rank despite displaying Grade 1-level strength. A few days later, Gojo Satoru took Seiya and Itadori to pick up their final first-year classmate.

• Maki recognized that Seiya’s kendo and martial arts skills were far beyond what he claimed, then she and Fushiguro Megumi attacked him together.
• Seiya defeated Maki and Fushiguro Megumi after a prolonged fight, completing an entrance exam that Gakuganji Yaga could not extend further.
• Gakuganji Yaga assigned Seiya Grade 2 because he lacked the missions and approval required for Grade 1, despite his strength.
• Maki introduced herself to Seiya, Panda described himself, and Inumaki said, “Mapo tofu,” as Seiya got acquainted with the second-years.
• A few days later, Gojo Satoru woke Seiya and Itadori early and took them by subway to meet their final first-year classmate.

Yuji, Fushiguro, and Seiya met their new classmate Nobara Kugisaki at Tokyo Station, where she had confronted a fake talent scout. After they helped expose the man's crimes and get him arrested, Nobara thanked Seiya and asked his name.

• Gojo led Seiya and the others to meet Nobara Kugisaki, who was holding a man by the collar and demanding he make her a star.
• Nobara explained that she had changed her mind about becoming a Jujutsu Sorcerer after the man claimed he could make her famous.
• Nobara told Seiya and the others that the man had been posing as a talent scout and harassing girls on the train.
• Seiya and the others found incriminating photographs on the man's phone, and Seiya called the police while pretending to confess to the man's crimes.
• The detectives arrested the man, and Nobara introduced herself before asking Seiya his name.

Seiya and the new students completed a practical test by exorcising Curses in a Tokyo office building, where Kugisaki learned how dangerous urban Curses could be. Afterward, Gojo Satoru assigned Itadori, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki to a team and indicated that Seiya would operate alone.

• Seiya explained his delinquent experience with the law, and Itadori covered his mouth before he could continue.
• Gojo Satoru brought Itadori, Seiya, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki to an office building for a practical test and gave Itadori Butcher Demon and Seiya Divine Blessing.
• Gojo Satoru excused Seiya and Fushiguro Megumi from the test, while Kugisaki objected to his doubts about her ability to handle Tokyo Curses.
• Kugisaki split up from Itadori, but they later emerged from the building with a boy after exorcising the Curses, and Kugisaki seemed to have lost their contest.
• The group celebrated at a sushi restaurant, where Gojo Satoru assigned Itadori, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki to work as a team.
• Gojo Satoru explained that a powerful second-year student had permission to act alone and looked toward Seiya, implying that Seiya would not join the main team.

Gojo Satoru told Seiya he would handle missions alone, while Itadori, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki would work as a team. After Seiya left with Gojo, Kugisaki asked what grade of Jujutsu Sorcerer Seiya was.

• Gojo Satoru explained that Seiya would operate alone because he was strong enough to handle dangerous missions and could earn merits toward Grade 1 faster.
• Itadori asked Gojo to pair Seiya with him, but Seiya accepted the school's decision without objection.
• Gojo and Gakuganji Yaga had arranged to separate Seiya from Itadori to protect Seiya from the jujutsu higher-ups and help Itadori's group grow.
• Gojo took Seiya away after the meal to deal with Cursed Spirit incidents.
• Kugisaki asked Itadori and Fushiguro what grade Seiya was and why Gojo had let him act alone.

Itadori, Kugisaki, and Fushiguro learned that Seiya was already Grade 1 strength before they were sent to investigate a possible Special Grade Cursed Spirit at the Tokyo Juvenile Detention Center. Seiya joined them and feared that Sukuna would take control of Itadori after consuming another finger.

• Fushiguro explained that Seiya had Grade 1 strength but remained officially Grade 2 because he lacked the required accomplishments and approval.
• Kugisaki, Itadori, and Fushiguro were assigned to investigate a suspected Special Grade Cursed Spirit before attending their first class.
• Ijichi explained the Cursed Spirit ranking system and warned that a Special Grade usually required a Grade 1 sorcerer or a team to handle it.
• Seiya met the first-years at the detention center and explained that Gojo had been called away by the jujutsu higher-ups.
• Seiya recalled that Sukuna might cause trouble during the mission and considered the danger of Sukuna gaining power from a third finger.

Seiya convinced Jujutsu High to let him enter the Juvenile Detention Center alone to face a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, while Itadori and the others waited outside. Ryomen Sukuna provoked Itadori into rushing through the Curtain after Seiya.

• Seiya told Ijichi Kiyotaka he would enter the Juvenile Detention Center alone because the Special Grade Cursed Spirit posed too great a risk to Itadori, Fushiguro, and Kugisaki.
• Itadori objected, but Seiya warned that the Cursed Energy inside felt similar to Ryomen Sukuna and urged him to remain outside.
• Jujutsu High approved Seiya's solo mission, citing his combat strength and the danger of Itadori's body falling into a Cursed Spirit's hands.
• Seiya entered the Curtain alone, leaving Itadori, Fushiguro, and Kugisaki upset outside.
• Ryomen Sukuna mocked Itadori for letting his friend face danger alone and suggested the Curtain could not stop him.
• Itadori rushed through the Curtain before Fushiguro could stop him.

Itadori, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki entered the Curtain, where Seiya searched the Special Grade Cursed Spirit’s vast Innate Domain. The curse abandoned its planned ambush on Seiya after sensing Itadori and fled toward him, while Sukuna’s motive for luring Itadori inside was revealed to be reclaiming his power.

• Ryomen Sukuna provoked Itadori into entering the Curtain, and Fushiguro Megumi followed to protect him before Kugisaki joined them.
• Seiya searched the Innate Domain while the Special Grade Cursed Spirit concealed its presence and prepared to ambush him.
• When Seiya turned to counter the attack, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit suddenly fled, and Seiya chased after it.
• The Special Grade Cursed Spirit sensed Itadori’s Sukuna’s Finger and abandoned Seiya to pursue him.
• Ryomen Sukuna had lured Itadori into the domain because he wanted to reclaim his power, while Gojo Satoru had brought Itadori to Jujutsu High partly to strengthen his limits as a Vessel.

Ryomen Sukuna planned to use the Special Grade Cursed Spirit and Itadori’s third Finger to seize control of Itadori’s body. After the curse overwhelmed Itadori, Fushiguro Megumi, and Nobara Kugisaki, Itadori allowed Sukuna to take control on the condition that he spare the two students, leaving Sukuna intent on killing Wenren Seiya.

• Ryomen Sukuna sensed his Finger at the detention center and planned to exploit Itadori’s crisis to take over his body and kill Wenren Seiya.
• A Special Grade Cursed Spirit appeared before Itadori, Fushiguro Megumi, and Nobara Kugisaki, freezing them with its pressure.
• The curse killed Fushiguro Megumi’s Divine Dogs, shrugged off Nobara Kugisaki’s nails and Itadori’s blade, severed Itadori’s right hand, and blasted Fushiguro and Kugisaki into the walls.
• Ryomen Sukuna urged Itadori to surrender control as Itadori’s blood loss left him close to death.
• Itadori agreed to give Sukuna control if he spared Fushiguro and Kugisaki, and Sukuna accepted while still planning to kill Wenren Seiya.

Ryomen Sukuna took control of Itadori, killed the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, and threatened Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki. As Fushiguro prepared to summon Mahoraga, Seiya arrived and attacked Sukuna, who countered by blasting Seiya backward.

• Ryomen Sukuna took over Itadori's body, restored his severed arm, and killed the Special Grade Cursed Spirit with Malevolent Shrine.
• Ryomen Sukuna pulled a Finger from the Cursed Spirit, while Kugisaki watched in shock and Fushiguro explained that Sukuna had taken control.
• Ryomen Sukuna tore out and crushed Itadori's heart, then warned Fushiguro and Kugisaki not to interfere with him.
• Fushiguro prepared to summon Mahoraga, but Seiya dropped in and launched a flying kick at Ryomen Sukuna.
• Ryomen Sukuna dodged Seiya's kick and struck back, sending Seiya flying from the dust cloud.

Seiya fought Ryomen Sukuna with cursed-energy sword attacks and brutal hand-to-hand strikes, overwhelming him for a time. Sukuna emerged from the rubble apparently unharmed, leaving the rematch unresolved.

• Sukuna chased Seiya through the air and punched him through several walls, refusing to use jujutsu in their rematch.
• Seiya launched cursed-energy slashes that cut Sukuna's face, and Sukuna praised his skill before dodging a barrage and crushing the final slash with his bare hands.
• Seiya appeared beside Sukuna and attacked, but Sukuna caught Divine Blessing between his teeth; Seiya then punched him, slammed his head into the ground, dragged him across the street, and hurled him into a wall.
• Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki watched the ruined surroundings and reacted with shock at Seiya's strength.
• Sukuna applauded from the rubble and walked out apparently unharmed.

Seiya fought Ryomen Sukuna, who had already defeated the Special Grade Cursed Spirit and taken its finger. Sukuna swallowed the third finger and overwhelmed Seiya, who summoned a Shikigami to stall for time until Gojo Satoru arrived.

• Ryomen Sukuna acknowledged Seiya's improved strength and swordsmanship, then revealed the third Sukuna's Finger.

• Ryomen Sukuna swallowed the third finger, causing his Cursed Energy and physical strength to surge.
• Sukuna struck Seiya in the abdomen and blasted him backward, injuring his internal organs.
• Seiya stopped his retreat with his cursed longsword and summoned Azure Dragon - Tail Fire Tiger as Sukuna pursued him.
