Chapter Summaries

Satoru Gojo examined Lin Mu’s Sharingan and concluded that its power operated outside the cursed energy system, so Lin Mu would have to develop it himself. Gojo then took Lin Mu to meet the principal to have his sorcerer grade reassessed, while Lin Mu recalled Gojo would be ambushed by Jogo and saw a chance to advance his inheritance.

• Satoru Gojo brought Lin Mu to the basement, where Itadori was training his cursed energy while watching a movie.
• Itadori told Lin Mu he had switched back because he did not want his companions to risk their lives for him.
• Satoru Gojo scrutinized Lin Mu’s Sharingan with his Six Eyes, and Madara Uchiha’s power resisted the probing.
• Satoru Gojo said Lin Mu’s ability was distinct from cursed energy and offered no advice, then announced Lin Mu’s grade should be raised to special grade.
• Itadori was shocked by Lin Mu’s special-grade strength, and Lin Mu remembered Jogo’s coming ambush as a chance to increase his inheritance progress.

Lin Mu joined Satoru Gojo on the way to Tokyo Jujutsu High, but they encountered Jogo, a special-grade cursed spirit, and Lin Mu began fighting it. After defending against Jogo’s attacks with Susanoo, Lin Mu launched a powerful fire technique, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Lin Mu reflected that fighting Jogo could help him grow stronger, despite drawing the attention of Brain and other special-grade cursed spirits.

• Jogo appeared and attacked Lin Mu and Gojo with scalding lava, but both emerged unharmed, with Lin Mu protected by Susanoo.
• Gojo let Lin Mu fight Jogo, and Lin Mu used the Mangekyo Sharingan to read Jogo’s movements and knock it back with Susanoo.
• Jogo’s Ember Insects pierced partway through Susanoo before exploding, but Lin Mu escaped the blast and prepared Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame.

Lin Mu fought Jogo to a draw with Majestic Destroyer Flame, but his chakra and ocular power were running low. Jogo trapped Lin Mu, Gojo, and Itadori in Coffin of the Iron Mountain, where Gojo shielded Lin Mu and explained Domain Expansion.

• Gojo returned with Itadori, who realized Lin Mu had been fighting Jogo; their casual conversation enraged Jogo.
• Jogo unleashed Domain Expansion: Coffin of the Iron Mountain, enclosing the group in a blazing domain and hurling a massive boulder at Lin Mu and Gojo.
• Gojo pulverized the boulder, explained domains, and extended Infinity to protect Lin Mu as Lin Mu dispelled Susanoo.

Satoru Gojo defeated Jogo with Unlimited Void, but Hanami rescued him before Gojo could get answers. After refining his chakra, Lin Mu reached 21% inheritance progress, unlocked the Uchiha Fan, and learned that Gojo planned to take him and Itadori to meet someone.

• Satoru Gojo used Unlimited Void to shatter Jogo's domain, then tore off Jogo's head and interrogated him.
• Hanami used blooming flowers to distract Satoru Gojo and escaped with Jogo's head, while Lin Mu chose not to warn Gojo about the rescue.
• Lin Mu completed overnight chakra refinement and reached 21% inheritance progress after the battle with Jogo.
• Lin Mu's Clone Technique and Mangekyo Sharingan improved, and he unlocked the Uchiha Fan, a weapon that could reflect physical attacks and strengthen his Fire Release.
• Lin Mu stored the Uchiha Fan to avoid raising suspicion, then met Itadori, who said Satoru Gojo planned to take them to meet someone.

Brain, Hanami, and Jogo discussed sealing Satoru Gojo and reassessing their plan because of Lin Mu's unusual ability. Meanwhile, Lin Mu, Nanami, and Itadori followed Mahito's cursed residue to an outdoor stadium, where they encountered altered humans mistaken for cursed spirits.

• Brain brought the injured Jogo and Hanami to Mahito and asked Jogo how strong Satoru Gojo was.
• Jogo admitted Gojo was terrifyingly strong, and Brain decided to proceed with sealing him while adjusting the plan because of Lin Mu's unfamiliar ability.
• At a movie theater where three students had died from grotesque mutations, Lin Mu spotted Mahito's cursed residue with his Sharingan.
• Nanami taught Itadori to see cursed residue, and the group followed its trail from the theater.
• Near an outdoor stadium in the rain, Lin Mu recognized the beings ahead as humans whose souls Mahito had altered.
• Nanami shielded the students and assigned himself one opponent while Lin Mu and Itadori faced a fat, white figure calling out about laundry service.

Lin Mu and Nanami discovered that the apparent cursed spirits were humans transformed by Mahito, then prepared to investigate Junpei Yoshino. While Itadori headed to Junpei’s home, Lin Mu slipped away to find Mahito, arriving near the fighting between Mahito and Nanami.

• Lin Mu instantly killed one human-transformed creature, and Nanami noticed his speed and decisive technique.
• Nanami photographed another creature and, with Lin Mu’s help, realized the monsters had been transformed from humans.
• At Jujutsu High’s safe house, Ijichi delivered Lin Mu’s custom cursed kunai and shuriken, and Lin Mu examined their abilities.
• Nanami ordered Itadori and Lin Mu to contact Junpei Yoshino while he handled Mahito alone.
• Lin Mu left Itadori on the way to Junpei’s home and used the Body Flicker Technique to reach Mahito’s hiding place, where he heard Mahito and Nanami fighting.

Lin Mu arrived in the sewers just as Mahito and two other curse spirits were about to overwhelm Nanami. More than fifty curse spirits blocked their escape, and while Nanami prepared to sacrifice himself to open a path, Lin Mu eagerly faced the fight.

• Nanami fought Mahito and two other curse spirits until a hidden curse spirit grabbed his ankles and left him exposed to Mahito's technique.
• Lin Mu threw a kunai that pinned Mahito's hand to the wall, giving Nanami a chance to escape the encirclement.
• Nanami urged Lin Mu to retreat, but Mahito tore free and summoned more than fifty curse spirits to block their way.
• Lin Mu recognized the curse spirits as an unexpected opportunity, while Nanami offered to hold them off so Lin Mu could escape.

Lin Mu used ricocheting shuriken to exorcise Mahito’s cursed spirits and then joined Nanami against Mahito and the remaining peak Grade 1 rhinoceros cursed spirit. As the rhinoceros charged, Lin Mu dodged Mahito’s summoned humanoid spirits and attacked them with his kunai.

• Lin Mu threw ten shuriken at the walls, making them ricochet through the cursed spirits and kill them in unpredictable paths.
• Mahito sent an armadillo-like Grade 1 cursed spirit at Lin Mu, but Lin Mu redirected the shuriken through gaps in its shell and exorcised it.
• Nanami saw that nearly all the cursed spirits had been killed, checked that it was six o’clock, and decided to work overtime alongside Lin Mu.
• Mahito summoned humanoid cursed spirits and sent the remaining peak Grade 1 rhinoceros cursed spirit charging at them.
• Lin Mu dodged the humanoid spirits and killed them with his kunai as the rhinoceros cursed spirit thrust its horn toward him.

Lin Mu easily killed a rhinoceros cursed spirit and repelled Mahito, whose Idle Transfiguration could not penetrate Lin Mu’s Susanoo. Mahito escaped through a drain, while Lin Mu deliberately let it go so it could grow stronger before he dealt with it.

• Lin Mu used Susanoo to withstand the rhinoceros cursed spirit’s charge, then crushed it with a skeletal hand.
• Mahito secretly reached for Lin Mu through an underground pipe and tried to use Idle Transfiguration, but Lin Mu’s exoskeleton blocked its cursed technique.
• Lin Mu grabbed Mahito’s hand, slammed it into a wall, and knocked it toward a nearby drain.
• Mahito reshaped itself into a snake and escaped into the sewer system before Lin Mu and Nanami could stop it.
• Nanami called for Jujutsu High to search the area, and Lin Mu left Mahito’s escape unchallenged because he intended to let it grow stronger.

Lin Mu anticipated Mahito’s plan to place Sukuna’s Finger in the Yoshino home and waited there to protect Nagi Yoshino while advancing his inheritance. After exorcising the attracted cursed spirits, he left a clone behind and departed, still uncertain how Junpei’s future would change.

• Lin Mu decided to use Mahito to advance his inheritance and realized Mahito would plant Sukuna’s Finger at the Yoshino home that night.
• Lin Mu left Nanami and went to the Yoshino residence, where Itadori had spent the afternoon helping Junpei and Nagi Yoshino.
• Nagi Yoshino discovered the finger and was threatened by a cursed spirit, but Lin Mu rescued her and carried her to the sofa.
• Lin Mu and four clones exorcised the cursed spirits attracted by Sukuna’s Finger, raising his inheritance progress to just below twenty-four percent.
• Lin Mu tested the limits of the Clone Technique, considered the need to prepare for the super cursed spirit, and left one clone at the Yoshino residence before departing.

Junpei Yoshino found his mother, Nagi Yoshino, apparently incapacitated and believed Mahito’s lie that a cursed finger had caused it. Mahito sent Junpei to seek revenge at school, but a false appearance of Lin Mu drove Mahito away before it could harm Nagi, and news of Sukuna’s Finger reached Itadori.

• Junpei woke in a hopeful mood, then found his home in disarray and Nagi lying unresponsive on the sofa beside a cursed finger.
• Mahito falsely told Junpei that Nagi could not be saved and blamed the cursed finger, steering Junpei toward the school bullies.
• Junpei blamed the bullies, kissed Nagi goodbye, changed into black clothes, and headed to school to take revenge.
• Mahito moved to attack Nagi, but a terrifying presence resembling Lin Mu forced it to flee.
• The apparent Lin Mu vanished in a burst of smoke, and Jujutsu High discovered the anomaly as news of Sukuna’s Finger reached Itadori.

Lin Mu anticipated Mahito’s plan to turn Junpei Yoshino against his school, while Itadori learned that Nagi Yoshino had been cursed into a coma. Junpei attacked his former bully with his Jellyfish Shikigami, and Itadori arrived to confront him.

• Nanami told Itadori that Nagi Yoshino had been cursed and explained why Itadori had not accompanied him to the Yoshino household.
• Lin Mu learned that his clone at the Yoshino household had vanished and suspected Mahito had tried to kill Nagi Yoshino.
• Lin Mu predicted that Mahito would exploit Junpei Yoshino’s hatred and Nagi Yoshino’s condition to provoke him into taking revenge at school.

• Junpei Yoshino attacked the bully with his Jellyfish Shikigami, and Itadori entered the activity hall and demanded to know what he was doing.

Itadori fought Junpei while Lin Mu battled Kenjaku’s horde of cursed spirits at the school. The chapter left Lin Mu surrounded by steam after the horde neutralized his enhanced flames, while Mahito moved to pursue his plan involving Itadori and Sukuna.

• Itadori broke through Junpei’s poisoned jellyfish shikigami and knocked him out the window, then followed him outside.
• Itadori and Junpei saw nearly two hundred cursed spirits converging on Lin Mu, and Junpei resumed fighting Itadori after thinking Mahito had brought them.
• Lin Mu fought through Kenjaku’s cursed spirit horde and used Majestic Flame Destroyer against them.
• A Grade 1 cursed spirit absorbed the flames, but Lin Mu’s Mangekyo Sharingan strengthened his attack until it overwhelmed the spirit.
• Kenjaku sent multiple liquid-spewing cursed spirits to suppress the remaining flames, filling half the training field with steam and sharply reducing visibility.
• Mahito left Kenjaku to approach Itadori and Junpei, intending to provoke Itadori into switching with Sukuna if needed.

Lin Mu used the Uchiha Fan to turn Majestic Destroyer Flame into a massive flaming tornado that wiped out Brain’s specially selected cursed spirits. Brain withdrew rather than risk fighting him, and Lin Mu ended the battle with his inheritance progress at 27% while keeping the fan secret.

• Lin Mu realized Brain had chosen cursed spirits to counter his fire and fog techniques, then decided to use an ability Brain already knew about.
• Lin Mu created a wall of flames that the cursed spirits countered with water and mist, then used the Uchiha Fan to amplify the flames into a giant tornado.
• The flaming tornado destroyed every cursed spirit on the field, shocking Brain, who could not see how Lin Mu had increased the technique’s power.
• Brain abandoned his plan to release a special-grade cursed spirit and vanished from the rooftop rather than risk fighting Lin Mu.
• Lin Mu sensed his inheritance progress had risen to 27%, recognized the Uchiha Fan’s power, and resolved to keep it hidden while noting that he still had an important matter to finish.

Itadori helped Junpei realize Mahito had lied about his mother, but Mahito appeared and attacked them. Lin Mu rescued Junpei and joined the fight, leaving Mahito to transform its hands into sickle whips.

• Itadori told Junpei that his mother was alive and recovering, causing Junpei to doubt Mahito.
• Mahito appeared, attacked Itadori, and prepared to kill Junpei as Junpei recognized its cruelty.
• Lin Mu blasted through the wall, rescued Junpei, and severed Mahito’s hand before its attack could reach him.
• Lin Mu told Itadori that he had exorcised the cursed spirits outside and prepared to defend Junpei against Mahito.
• Mahito transformed both hands into long whips lined with sickles and attacked.

Lin Mu and Itadori worked together to trap and injure Mahito, but Mahito countered with his Domain Expansion. The chapter left Lin Mu, Itadori, and Junpei facing the domain’s threat.

• Lin Mu told Itadori and Junpei to jump from the building, then engulfed the floor in flames to attack Mahito.
• Junpei thanked Itadori after reaching safety, while Mahito regenerated from his injuries inside the charred school building.

• Nanami arrived after the battle, and Itadori and Junpei left together while Lin Mu watched them warmly.
• Lin Mu found the poisoned bully still alive and killed him with a kunai before vanishing in white smoke.

After the safe-house incident, Lin Mu absorbed the fruit produced by reaching 25% inheritance progress and gained major upgrades to his abilities. He looked ahead to the Tokyo and Kyoto schools’ exchange event, where he expected a chance to hunt cursed spirits and encounter Hanami.

• Lin Mu left Itadori to endure Nanami’s scolding alone, then returned to his room and absorbed the God Tree’s fruit.
• The upgrade improved Lin Mu’s physique and evolved Majestic Flame Destroyer into Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song, while also enhancing his Wood Release and Shadow Clone Technique.
• Lin Mu discovered that his Mangekyo Sharingan and Susanoo had also improved, leaving him eager to gain more inheritance progress.
• Lin Mu recalled that Kyoto Jujutsu High’s principal would order students to kill Itadori during the exchange event.
• Lin Mu anticipated hunting the cursed spirits at the event and facing the special-grade cursed spirit Hanami.

Lin Mu returned to Tokyo Jujutsu High for the exchange event with Junpei, while Gojo reunited Itadori with his classmates. The event began with tension between the schools, and the Tokyo students prepared to face Kyoto.

• Kugisaki shook Itadori angrily for joking about being dead, while Fushiguro welcomed him back.

Lin Mu’s team revised its exchange-event strategy after Itadori and Junpei joined, while the teachers watched the students and discussed the new personal points leaderboard. The chapter left the target curse’s true strength concealed from the students, with Principal Gakuganji watching Yuji Itadori closely.

• Maki explained the exchange rules and warned the team about Todo, but Junpei’s questions revealed Lin Mu’s extraordinary feats to the others.
