Chapter Summaries

Lin Mu awakened in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen and followed Yuji Itadori to the Occult Research Club, where he unlocked a Madara Uchiha template. The chapter left him with the Sharingan and two basic abilities extracted.

• Lin Mu realized he had transmigrated into Jujutsu Kaisen, but initially found he had no system or useful cursed energy.
• Yuji invited Lin Mu to join the Occult Research Club, and Lin Mu recognized that Yuji had found Sukuna's Finger.
• Senior Sasaki welcomed Lin Mu to the club, and her strange aura triggered a vision of Madara Uchiha in his Six Paths form.
• The system detected a threat, unlocked Madara Uchiha's template, and extracted Sharingan and Fire Release: Majestic Flame Destroyer.
• Lin Mu's eyes turned crimson with a single tomoe as the Sharingan awakened.

Lin Mu tested the Sharingan and Madara Uchiha’s inherited abilities, then demonstrated his enhanced body at school alongside Itadori. After Itadori left, Megumi Fushiguro arrived and reacted to their extraordinary strength.

• Lin Mu awakened the Sharingan, discovered that it enhanced his perception and physical abilities, and learned it could damage his eyes if used too long.
• Lin Mu learned that exorcising cursed spirits would raise his inheritance progress, so he planned to stay near Itadori and seek out cursed spirits that night.
• A student council dispute over the Occult Research Club led Takagi to challenge Itadori and Lin Mu to a track-and-field contest.
• Itadori threw the shot put beyond the field, and Lin Mu used the Sharingan to refine his technique and throw it around forty meters.
• Itadori left school to visit his grandfather, and Megumi Fushiguro passed him after witnessing the students’ strength.

After Sukuna's Finger was unsealed, Lin Mu fought through the cursed spirits at the school while Megumi Fushiguro rushed to save the upperclassmen. Megumi found Lin Mu slaughtering the spirits and realized that the supposedly ordinary student was far stronger than he had expected.

• Lin Mu let Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro return to the school without intervening, then waited nearby as the upperclassmen tried to remove the talismans from Sukuna's Finger.
• Itadori told Megumi Fushiguro that the upperclassmen planned to unseal the object, and Megumi rushed back to the school with him.
• After Sasaki loosened the seal, cursed spirits flooded the school, and Lin Mu killed one with his Sharingan-enhanced speed and chakra-infused fist.
• Megumi Fushiguro entered the building and summoned his Divine Dogs to protect Lin Mu, believing the cursed spirits had overwhelmed him.
• Megumi saw Lin Mu tear through the cursed spirits with his bare hands and wondered whether he was an unregistered sorcerer.

Lin Mu used a powerful fire technique to destroy the cursed spirits at the school and joined Megumi in rescuing two upperclassmen. After Itadori saved them from a massive curse, Lin Mu burned the curse to ashes, leaving Megumi stunned by his abilities.

• Megumi sent his Divine Dogs to help Lin Mu clear the cursed spirits, then Lin Mu incinerated the remaining fifteen with Fire Release: Majestic Flame Destroyer.
• As they ran to rescue the upperclassmen, Lin Mu claimed he had awakened his abilities after waking in the club activity room, and Megumi considered recruiting him to Tokyo Jujutsu High.
• Megumi and Lin Mu found a massive cursed spirit gripping Sasaki and another upperclassman while Sasaki carried the unsealed Sukuna's Finger.
• Itadori burst through a window, struck the curse hard enough to stagger it, and carried the two upperclassmen to safety.
• Lin Mu engulfed the massive cursed spirit in flames and reduced it to ashes before Megumi could attack.

Lin Mu and Megumi Fushiguro fought a powerful cursed spirit while Itadori tried to protect Sukuna’s finger. After Itadori swallowed the finger, Sukuna awakened, and Lin Mu’s aura clashed with the King of Curses’ presence.

• Lin Mu gained basic ninjutsu and a two-tomoe Sharingan from his inheritance, then warned Megumi and Itadori of an approaching cursed spirit.
• A powerful Grade 2 cursed spirit attacked, and Lin Mu used the Body Flicker Technique to save Megumi before fighting it with Majestic Flame Destroyer.
• Itadori joined the fight, but the cursed spirit knocked Megumi away and tried to swallow Sukuna’s finger.
• Lin Mu burned the cursed spirit’s feet, giving Itadori time to catch the finger and swallow it.
• Sukuna awakened inside Itadori, and Lin Mu’s pressure met the King of Curses’ aura as Sukuna remarked that the era seemed interesting.

Lin Mu’s inherited power surged as Sukuna took over Yuji, but Yuji soon regained control. Satoru Gojo arrived, fought Sukuna, and noticed Lin Mu watching their movements with his Sharingan before Lin Mu collapsed from overusing his eyes.

• Lin Mu’s aura matched Sukuna’s, and his inheritance progress passed 10% as Sukuna took control of Yuji and destroyed the Grade 2 cursed spirit.
• Yuji regained control of his body, but Megumi prepared to exorcise him until Satoru Gojo arrived and examined the situation.

• Lin Mu pushed his Sharingan to its limit to follow the battle, while Megumi noticed his unusual eyes and the blood running from them.
• Satoru Gojo blocked Sukuna’s attack with Infinity, Yuji suppressed Sukuna again, and Lin Mu collapsed from pain and blood loss.
• Satoru Gojo learned Lin Mu’s name and remarked that his eyes were as unique as his own.

After recovering from his injuries, Lin Mu awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and Wood Release’s Advent of a World of Trees. Itadori accepted his suspended death sentence by agreeing to consume Sukuna’s fingers, and the group set off for Tokyo Jujutsu High, where Lin Mu looked forward to growing stronger.

• Fushiguro told Lin Mu that Satoru Gojo had taken Itadori away, then received a call confirming Itadori was alive and headed with Lin Mu to the crematorium.
• Lin Mu’s inheritance advanced, transforming his body and unlocking the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and Advent of a World of Trees, though his chakra reserves limited the technique.
• At the crematorium, Itadori ate a second Sukuna finger, resisted Sukuna’s influence, and agreed to consume all of Sukuna’s fingers despite his death sentence.
• Satoru Gojo brought Itadori to Fushiguro and Lin Mu and told them they would attend Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical College together.
• The group traveled toward Jujutsu High, while Lin Mu anticipated facing more cursed spirits in Tokyo and advancing his inheritance.

Masamichi Yaga tested Yuji Itadori’s resolve to attend Tokyo Jujutsu High, then began testing Lin Mu. Yuji passed, while Lin Mu’s trial remained underway as the kappa cursed corpse rushed at him.

• Satoru Gojo brought Lin Mu and Yuji Itadori to meet Principal Masamichi Yaga, while Sukuna threatened Gojo from inside Yuji.
• Masamichi Yaga challenged Yuji to explain why he wanted to become a jujutsu sorcerer and had a kappa cursed corpse attack him.
• Yuji declared that only he could swallow Sukuna and that he did not want to regret how he lived, so Yaga said he passed.
• Yaga asked Lin Mu about his background, then set a one-minute test against the cursed corpse.
• The cursed corpse charged at Lin Mu as his test began.

Lin Mu passed Principal Yaga’s test by dodging the cursed corpse’s increasingly fast attacks, earning admission to Tokyo Jujutsu High. He joined Itadori and Fushiguro in the dorms, where Gojo announced they would leave the next day to welcome their fourth first-year student, Kugisaki Nobara.

• Lin Mu used his Sharingan and quick reactions to evade the cursed corpse’s attacks and make it fall into the pit it had created.
• Principal Yaga ended the test and welcomed Lin Mu to Tokyo Jujutsu High, then privately considered Lin Mu’s potential and decided to investigate his background.
• Lin Mu, Itadori, and Fushiguro were assigned rooms on the same dormitory floor, where Fushiguro objected to sharing space with Itadori.
• Gojo explained that Itadori needed to help find Sukuna’s Fingers because Sukuna could sense their locations, and that the search would involve combat.
• Gojo announced that they would leave the next day to welcome the fourth first-year student, Kugisaki Nobara.

Lin Mu, Itadori, and Kugisaki went on their first mission to exorcise curses in an abandoned apartment building, while Gojo and Fushiguro watched from outside. Lin Mu and Itadori defeated the first curses they encountered, but more weak curses appeared as they prepared to continue.

• At Okamori Station, Kugisaki met Lin Mu, Itadori, and Fushiguro before Gojo led the first-years to an abandoned apartment building for a field test.
• Gojo sent Lin Mu, Itadori, and Kugisaki inside to exorcise the curses, while Fushiguro stayed behind to recover.
• Inside the dark building, Kugisaki split the team up, and Lin Mu used his Sharingan to spot and swiftly kill a weak cursed spirit.
• Itadori used the cursed tool Tuzuo Demon to defeat an insect-like cursed spirit after showing off his physical ability.
• More curses emerged through the walls, and Lin Mu judged them all to be weak.

Lin Mu and Itadori cleared the cursed spirits on the lower floor, while Kugisaki faced a hostage-taking spirit above. Lin Mu rescued the child with Wood Release, and Gojo Satoru realized Lin Mu had used two cursed techniques.

• Lin Mu used his Sharingan to stun the cursed spirits, then fought alongside Itadori and gained 1% inheritance progress after a kill.
• Lin Mu stuck to the ceiling, defeated an attacking cursed spirit, and burned the remaining spirits with Fire Release: Majestic Flame Destroyer.

After the apartment mission, Lin Mu joined his teammates on an emergency mission at Eishu Juvenile Detention Center, where a newly hatched special-grade curse had trapped the survivors. The first-years entered the curse’s distorted domain, unaware that it was watching them.

• Lin Mu’s teammates questioned him about his two cursed techniques, then Satoru Gojo took the group out to eat.
• Lin Mu learned that his inheritance progress had reached 14% and decided to join the dangerous detention-center mission, hoping to gain strength while protecting his teammates.
• Ijichi warned the first-years that their mission was to rescue survivors and avoid fighting the likely special-grade curse.
• Itadori urged Lin Mu, Fushiguro, and Kugisaki to save the people inside after a woman asked about her son, Masashi.
• Fushiguro summoned his Divine Dogs, and Lin Mu led the group into the detention center’s distorted innate domain after its entrance vanished.
• The four followed the Divine Dogs deeper into the domain while a grinning cursed spirit watched them.

Lin Mu fought the special-grade cursed spirit in the juvenile detention center but was teleported away, leaving Itadori and Fushiguro to face it alone. With Itadori badly injured, he agreed to release Sukuna if Fushiguro could find Lin Mu and Kugisaki and signal him.

• Itadori argued with Fushiguro over whether to carry back the body of the dead detainee, while Lin Mu sensed a powerful cursed presence approaching.
• The special-grade cursed spirit killed the Divine Dogs, separated Kugisaki from the group, and trapped Itadori and Fushiguro with its presence.
• Lin Mu restrained the cursed spirit with Wood Release, but it severed Itadori's arm and then teleported Lin Mu into an area filled with cursed spirits.
• Lin Mu decided to stay among the cursed spirits to exorcise them and build his inheritance progress, while hoping to reach Kugisaki.
• Itadori called on Sukuna for help, but Sukuna refused and threatened to kill Itadori's companions if he took control.
• Itadori told Fushiguro to find Lin Mu and Kugisaki, signal him from outside, and leave him to hold off the special-grade cursed spirit.

Lin Mu gathered a swarm of cursed spirits around himself and rescued the trapped Kugisaki, then trapped the horde in a sewer pipe and destroyed them with a powerful fire technique. Exorcising nearly eighty spirits caused his inheritance progress to surge, while he remained intent on facing Sukuna afterward.

• Fushiguro rode Nue through the detention center to find Lin Mu and Kugisaki and signal for Itadori to switch with Sukuna.
• Lin Mu attracted the cursed spirits around him and followed their trail to Kugisaki, who had run out of nails and was surrounded.
• Lin Mu carried Kugisaki through the swarm toward a dead end, where he used Wood Release to form a net across the pipe and hold back the pursuing spirits.
• Lin Mu unleashed Fire Release: Majestic Flame Destroyer through the pipe and burned the gathered cursed spirits to ash.
• Lin Mu exorcised nearly seventy or eighty Grade Four to Grade Two cursed spirits, sharply increasing his inheritance progress.

Lin Mu and Kugisaki escaped the juvenile detention center, leaving Fushiguro to wait for Itadori while civilians were evacuated. Before Sukuna emerged, Lin Mu unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan and Susanoo, then hurried back when Fushiguro began fighting Sukuna.

• Lin Mu killed the cursed spirits, and Kugisaki scolded him for not revealing his strength sooner.
• Fushiguro joined Lin Mu and Kugisaki, then signaled Itadori and asked Ijichi to evacuate nearby civilians.
• Ijichi took the injured Kugisaki to the hospital while Lin Mu and Fushiguro stayed behind to wait for Itadori.
• Lin Mu checked that the area was clear, then unlocked Madara Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan and skeletal Susanoo.
• Lin Mu heard a loud boom as Sukuna began fighting Fushiguro, and he rushed back to help.

Sukuna took control of Itadori, used him as a hostage, and attacked Fushiguro while boasting about his regained strength. Lin Mu arrived just as Sukuna was about to strike Fushiguro, caught the blow, and revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan.

• Sukuna emerged inside Itadori, pierced his own heart to prevent Itadori from switching back, and swallowed a cursed finger, restoring his power to three fingers.

• Lin Mu's Sharingan transformed into the Mangekyo Sharingan, and he challenged Sukuna to fight.

Lin Mu countered Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine with Susanoo, then used a clone, a massive fire attack, and binding branches to trap Sukuna. The chapter ended with Sukuna swallowed by Lin Mu’s flames.

• Sukuna expanded his Malevolent Shrine, and Lin Mu protected Fushiguro with Susanoo.
• Sukuna dispelled his domain and focused his slashes on Susanoo, cracking its ribs.
• Lin Mu sent Fushiguro to safety, dropped Susanoo, and used a clone to evade Sukuna’s attack.
• Lin Mu unleashed Fire Release: Majestic Flame Destroyer and bound Sukuna with thick branches.
• The flames crashed down and completely swallowed Sukuna.

• Fushiguro explained that he had saved Itadori because he did not want a good person to die, and Itadori accepted his reasoning.
• Itadori saw that his chest had no heart, said farewell, and collapsed as his consciousness faded.

After Itadori’s apparent death, Lin Mu focused on the coming Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event and hoped to join Itadori’s future missions to improve his inheritance progress. At Tokyo Jujutsu High’s training field, Maki approached Lin Mu to spar, still underestimating his strength.

• Kugisaki and Fushiguro mourned Itadori while Lin Mu privately expected him to return and considered how to gain more experience.
• Maki, Panda, and Inumaki joined the first-years, and Fushiguro and Kugisaki declared they would enter the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event to become stronger.
• Maki asked Fushiguro about Lin Mu’s abilities, but Fushiguro warned her that Lin Mu was a monster who was too strong for her to teach.
• Maki dismissed Fushiguro’s warning, compared Lin Mu with Yuta Okkotsu, and challenged Lin Mu to spar.

Maki proposed a spar with Lin Mu, but Panda and Inumaki persuaded her to wait until after the exchange event. Satoru Gojo then took Lin Mu with him, and Lin Mu looked forward to joining Itadori on upcoming missions.

• Maki challenged Lin Mu to spar, then agreed to postpone it until after the exchange event when Panda and Inumaki objected.
• Lin Mu reflected on his lack of mastery over the Mangekyo Sharingan and Susanoo and considered asking for a custom weapon.
