Chapter Summaries

After his wedding, Kenma received gifts from the Uchiha Clan and from Newgate and the Marines. He went to see his father and met a mysterious guest from the last of the Five Noble Clans.

• Fugaku presented Kenma with a wedding gift from the Uchiha Clan.
• Ace woke from his repeated naps during the banquet and gave Kenma a gift on behalf of Newgate and the Marines.
• Shisui took both gift boxes to Kenma's study after reporting that Tenshin Shoun, Nobunaga, and Yoichi had gotten drunk.
• Kenma entered his father's dim, medicinal-smelling room and found a strange guest whose Spiritual Pressure he could not sense.
• Shihōin Chunyan introduced the guest as an honored visitor from the last of the Five Noble Clans.

A gaunt envoy from the fifth Great Noble family asked Kenma to lend his Spiritual Pressure to suppress the Hell Gate. Kenma examined the contract and asked what would happen if he accepted or refused, leaving the envoy’s answer pending.

• Kenma met the envoy, who congratulated him on his marriage to Yoruichi and requested his help suppressing Hell.
• The envoy explained his family monitored Hell and the Hell Gate to prevent sinful spirits from escaping into the Three Worlds.
• Kenma asked why he had been chosen and who else was helping; the envoy cited the Captain-General’s praise and named several powerful Shinigami and the other two of the Three Elites.
• The envoy showed Kenma a Contract Scroll listing the helpers, including Yhwach and Zero Division, and refused to explain how Aizen had agreed without Aizen’s permission.
• Kenma asked what consequences, benefits, or drawbacks would come with accepting or refusing the request.

Kenma agreed to sign the Hell Gate contract after learning it would not affect his strength and that the clan would honor his wishes. He left Chunyan’s courtyard and went to the bridal chamber, where Yoruichi was waiting.

• Kenma questioned the middle-aged man about the contract’s risks during a Hell riot, and the man explained how the Hell Gate would suspend and later resume its collection of Spiritual Pressure.

• Kenma wrote his name on the scroll, completing the agreement, and Chunyan told him to spend his wedding night with Yoruichi.
• Kenma left Chunyan’s courtyard and arrived outside the lit bridal chamber where Yoruichi was waiting.

Kenma and Yoruichi spent their wedding night together after Yoruichi nervously inspected their wedding gifts. The next morning, Yoruichi wanted to be intimate again, and the couple ended up late for their plans to visit her father.

• Yoruichi opened the wedding gifts in their room to distract herself while waiting for Kenma.
• Kenma arrived, chatted with Yoruichi about the gifts, and then embraced her; they spent the night together.
• At dawn, Kenma got up to train while Yoruichi stayed in bed, sore and unable to sleep as she recalled their night.
• When Kenma returned, Yoruichi asked him to be intimate with her again instead of getting ready to visit her father.
• Kenma and Yoruichi were late for the rest of their schedule.

Kenma opened the wedding gifts and found a Devil Fruit from Ace and the pirates, then welcomed Tenshin Shoun, Nobunaga, and Yoichi. When the three said they had to leave the Seireitei because they were ordinary Lost Souls, Kenma asked whether they wanted Spiritual Pressure and the power of Shinigami.

• Kenma opened Ace's wedding gift and discovered it was a Devil Fruit, which he stored away for someone to eat later.

• Tenshin Shoun told Kenma that the three had come to say goodbye because ordinary Lost Souls could not stay long in the Seireitei.
• Kenma asked Tenshin Shoun, Nobunaga, and Yoichi whether they wanted Spiritual Pressure and the strength of Shinigami.

Kenma offered Tenshin Shoun, Oda Nobunaga, and Yoichi Spiritual Pressure through a contract made with his Zanpakuto, giving the three a chance to become Shinigami. After gaining power, Nobunaga proposed conquering the Soul Society and making Kenma the new Spirit King, a role Kenma wanted no part of.

• Kenma explained that his Zanpakuto could connect him to the three and let them borrow his Spiritual Pressure, potentially helping them cultivate their own.
• Tenshin Shoun, Oda Nobunaga, and Yoichi agreed to the contract despite Kenma warning them that they would share his fate and that he would hold considerable power over them.
• Kenma used Kiritsugu to form the connection, and the three felt Spiritual Pressure pour into their bodies.
• Nobunaga proposed seizing the Soul Society and making Kenma the new Spirit King, but Kenma resisted the idea.

Kenma discussed building up their strength with Nobunaga, Yoichi, and Shimazu Toyohisa, and promised to explore restoring their youth. The group learned that Whitebeard's followers had been expanding in Junrin'an District, and Kenma revealed that he had arranged for them to be there.

• Yoichi urged Nobunaga to prioritize building strength, while Shimazu Toyohisa reclaimed his original name and pledged to help Kenma take the Soul Society.
• Kenma offered the three Zanpakuto, and Shimazu Toyohisa requested an Ootachi while Nobunaga and Yoichi preferred other weapons.
• Kenma said he was confident he could find a way to restore their youth, though he cautioned that the results might vary.
• Nobunaga proposed gathering followers and subduing a group in Junrin'an District that Yoichi identified as Whitebeard's subordinates.
• Kenma revealed that Whitebeard's followers were his companions and that he had arranged for them to be in the district.

Kenma’s guests departed after Shimazu Toyohisa confronted him about his older brother’s death, prompting Kenma to reveal how Toyohisa had been raised as a weapon and how that history shaped Kenma himself. Yoruichi arrived to spend time with Kenma, while Shisui later appeared before the departing guests carrying three Zanpakuto.

• Kenma welcomed Yoruichi as Shimazu Toyohisa, Nobunaga, and Yoichi prepared to leave Seireitei under its rules for ordinary Lost Souls.
• Yoruichi offered the three gifts, and Nobunaga and Yoichi stopped Toyohisa from making a tactless remark about her father.
• Toyohisa asked Kenma why he had stopped smiling and brought up Kenma’s older brother’s death, leaving Kenma visibly shaken.
• Kenma told Yoruichi that Toyohisa had been made into a battlefield weapon as a child, and reflected that he had passed similar lessons on to the children he raised.
• Yoruichi blushed when Kenma asked why she had come, and the two returned to the study.
• After the three guests left Seireitei, Shisui appeared before them holding three Zanpakuto.

Kenma visited the Twelfth Division with Shisui and asked Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi to prepare special Gigai for a trip to the Human World. He planned to take Shisui to a new world afterward, while Shisui remained troubled by his Zanpakuto’s silence.

• Kenma asked Shisui about his academy studies, and Shisui said he and Gin Ichimaru were evenly matched but each concealed strength.
• Shisui admitted that he still could not hear his Zanpakuto’s call, and Kenma reassured him with his own experience.
• Kenma told Shisui to request leave and accompany him to the New World, though Kenma had not yet opened a passage there.

• Kenma asked Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi to make special Gigai for his upcoming trip with Shisui to the Human World.

Kenma commissioned Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi to create portable Gigai, a Reishi-Proton converter, youth-restoring medicine, and powerful weapons. He left after setting deadlines for the urgent projects, while Captain Kiryū Kirishiki arrived hoping to thank him.

• Kenma asked Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi to develop compact, disposable Gigai that could withstand his full power, and they agreed to deliver them within three days.
• Kenma requested a device to convert Reishi and Protons, and Kisuke Urahara agreed to make it before Kenma and Shisui returned from the Human World.
• Mayuri Kurotsuchi agreed to create medicine that would restore people of varied ages to about twenty years old by Human World standards, with the medicine ready in three days.
• Kenma requested an exceptional bow and a firearm that ordinary souls could use, with power that scaled to the wielder's Spiritual Pressure and could threaten captains.
• Kenma and Shisui left, and Kiryū Kirishiki arrived too late to meet Kenma and explained that she wanted to thank him for recommending Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Yoruichi learned from Mikoto that the Uchiha Clan had been massacred in the Human World and that Kenma had brought its surviving souls to the Soul Society, where they swore to serve him. Meanwhile, Kenma and Shisui headed for the Uchiha Clan Territory with Youth Restoration Potions, and Kenma agreed to use some on the clan's elders.

• Yoruichi questioned Mikoto about the Uchiha Clan's Spiritual Pressure and training, and Mikoto explained that they had been Ninja in life before their clan was massacred.
• Mikoto told Yoruichi that Kenma had brought the Uchiha survivors to the Soul Society and given them a chance to become Shinigami, so they pledged to serve him.
• Kenma and Shisui traveled toward the Uchiha Clan Territory carrying a Youth Restoration Potion made by Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
• Shisui said he would kill Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi if they became threats to Kenma, and Kenma warned that they might escape their contracts.
• Shisui asked for potions for the Uchiha elders, and Kenma agreed, also intending to restore Whitebeard to youth.

Kenma visited the gathering in the Uchiha settlement and gave Whitebeard and Ace custom Zanpakuto modeled after their former weapons. He then revealed another sealed box as elderly Uchiha clansmen arrived to test its contents.

• Kenma brought out a Kido-sealed box as the elderly Uchiha clansmen arrived, saying they could all test its contents.

Kenma revealed a tested potion that could restore youth to the elderly Uchiha and other gathered figures, but the first batch could treat only about a hundred people. Nobunaga volunteered to be the first, and Shisui began explaining how to administer the medicine.

• Kenma asked Setsuna and Kahaku why so few elderly Uchiha remained, and Kahaku explained that only these survivors had lived through years of battle and Konoha’s purge.
• Shisui unsealed a box containing the youth-restoring potion and medical supplies, and Kenma announced that the tested medicine could restore youthful vitality.
• Ace asked whether the potion truly worked, and Kenma confirmed it, stirring excitement among Whitebeard, the Uchiha elders, and the others.
• Kenma said the medicine worked on people below Level Ten Spiritual Might and that the first batch could treat around a hundred, so the oldest should go first.
• Yoichi jokingly volunteered, but Shimazu Toyohisa and Nobunaga pulled her back, and Nobunaga then stepped forward to be the first treated.
• Shisui read Mayuri Kurotsuchi’s instructions and asked Nobunaga how many years younger he wanted to become.

Shisui injected the elderly people with a serum that restored their youth, and Kenma saw Shimazu Toyohisa, Nobunaga, and Whitebeard renewed. Whitebeard and his crew thanked Kenma and celebrated by launching a banquet.

• Shisui injected the elderly people with the serum, and their bodies regained youthful strength and health.

• Whitebeard called for a banquet, and the courtyard erupted in celebration.

After the banquet, Kenma arranged for medicine to heal the Uchiha Clan’s disabled members and prepared to open a passage to an unfamiliar New World. He shattered the spatial barriers and opened the Senkaimon in under an hour, then called Shisui inside.

• Kenma learned that many Uchiha Clan members had lost limbs and ordered Shisui to have Mayuri Kurotsuchi develop medicine to regenerate them.
• Kenma left over forty doses of youth-restoring medicine with Kahaku and Setsuna for those who needed it.
• At the Senkaimon, Kenma dismissed the others and chose to travel to the unfamiliar New World with only Shisui.
• Kenma entered Kiritsugu’s inner world, adjusted the destination, and slashed through the surrounding space for nearly an hour.
• Kenma activated the Senkaimon in the newly opened passage and reflected that his Spiritual Might was nearing the second class.
• After recovering some strength, Kenma called Shisui into the hall.

Kenma and Shisui entered a modern Japanese world, where they discovered that Kenma could perceive strange creatures invisible to ordinary sight. They followed a mysterious dark curtain to a site where a young woman named Miss Meimei had exorcised a Curse and demanded payment.

• Shisui joined Kenma at the palace gates with supplies prepared by the Uchiha Clan, and they passed through the spatial rift into a bright new world.

• Kenma and Shisui ran toward a dark curtain that soon vanished, revealing crows, suited men, and Miss Meimei, who had exorcised a Curse and asked for payment.

Kenma and Shisui encountered Meimei after arriving in the Curse World, and Kenma confirmed that they were in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. At a nearby coffee shop, Kenma revealed that he and Shisui were Shinigami seeking useful souls in the Human World.

• Kenma and Shisui stopped Meimei and the men accompanying her, and Kenma asked her questions about the Curse World.
• Meimei explained that the Three Great Families were the Gojo, Zenin, and Kamo Families and confirmed that Gojo Satoru was the Gojo Kenma had asked about.
• Kenma asked when Gojo Satoru would arrive and confirmed his suspicions that he had crossed into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
• Kenma, Shisui, and Meimei went to a coffee shop, where Kenma introduced himself and Shisui.
• Kenma told Meimei that he and Shisui were Shinigami who had come to the Human World to find useful souls.

Kenma and Shisui met Meimei and revealed that they were Shinigami, then Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru arrived to rescue her. After Kenma introduced himself and invited the two students to work for him after death, Gojo challenged him to a fight.

• Meimei wondered whether Kenma had come to take her soul, but he told her it was not yet her time to die.
• Kenma asked Meimei how old she was and learned that Gojo Satoru was sixteen and Geto Suguru was also a second-year student.

• Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru sensed that Kenma and Shisui were not human, and Gojo challenged Kenma to fight.

Kenma warned Gojo Satoru that challenging him would be dangerous, then secretly knocked him unconscious before he could continue. Geto Suguru and Meimei were left shocked by how effortlessly Kenma had defeated the strongest young sorcerer.

• Gojo Satoru taunted Kenma and tried to provoke him into a fight, while Geto Suguru urged him to stop.

• Kenma explained that Shinigami work as guides for Lost Souls and warned Gojo that he was no match for him.
• Gojo continued to challenge Kenma, who cautioned that he was not skilled at holding back.
• Gojo suddenly collapsed unconscious, and Geto Suguru demanded to know what Kenma had done.
• Meimei checked Gojo and, like Geto Suguru, realized that Kenma had defeated him without either of them seeing the attack.

Kenma subdued Gojo Satoru with Spiritual Pressure, then questioned Geto Suguru about the mission to protect the Star Plasma Vessel. Learning the mission was imminent, Kenma realized he might have a chance to claim Toji Fushiguro's soul.

• Meimei examined Gojo Satoru and found him unconscious, while Kenma explained that his Spiritual Pressure had knocked him out.
