Chapter Summaries

Fushiguro awakened his incomplete Domain Expansion, Chimera Shadow Garden, while fighting two special-grade cursed spirits. After Nine-Tails intervened and killed them, Fushiguro learned it was Lin Mu’s ally and collapsed as Sukuna sensed his potential.

• Lin Mu left to find a secluded place and unlock a new ability, while the two men he had defeated departed.
• Fushiguro summoned Divine Dogs: Totality, but a special-grade cursed spirit broke his ribs and cursed tool with a punch.
• Facing two special-grade cursed spirits alone, Fushiguro realized how to use Domain Expansion and unleashed Chimera Shadow Garden.
• Fushiguro used his domain’s shadows to restrain the cursed spirits and evade their attacks, but Nine-Tails suddenly cut both spirits into four pieces and the Sukuna’s Finger fell to the ground.
• Fushiguro recognized Nine-Tails as Lin Mu’s ally, let his domain fade, and collapsed from exhaustion.
• Sukuna sensed Fushiguro’s domain awakening and thought that the fruit was nearly ripe.

Nine-Tails searched for Itadori and Kugisaki while they fought the Cursed Womb brothers Eso and Kechizu. Itadori killed Eso, but Kechizu escaped by clinging to a passing truck and vowed revenge.

• Nine-Tails questioned Fushiguro about the missing teammates, picked up their scents, and leaped off to find them.
• Itadori and Kugisaki battled Eso and Kechizu, whose poisonous blood had touched them, but Itadori's resistance left him unaffected.
• Itadori badly injured Eso, and Kugisaki redirected Kechizu's blood attack by driving a nail into her own arm.
• Itadori killed Eso with a punch, while Kechizu fled on a passing truck after Itadori hesitated to attack him.
• Kechizu swore to avenge Eso as something enormous darkened the sky above him.

Lin Mu defeated Kechizu with his Wood Dragon, then reunited with Itadori and Kugisaki and introduced them to the Nine-Tails. The group headed back to check on Fushiguro while Lin Mu reflected on his new ability to absorb Cursed Energy and fight airborne enemies.

• Lin Mu used the Wood Dragon to drain Kechizu's Cursed Energy and crush him to ash.
• Lin Mu met up with Itadori and Kugisaki, who admired the Wood Dragon and then mistook the Nine-Tails for an enemy.
• Lin Mu explained that the Nine-Tails was his summon, but Itadori and Kugisaki frightened it into vanishing when they tried to pet it.
• Lin Mu reminded Itadori and Kugisaki to check on Fushiguro, who lay alone on the ground.
• Lin Mu summoned the Wood Dragon to carry the group back and considered how its Cursed Energy absorption and flight would help in future battles.

After the Yasohachi Bridge incident, Lin Mu returned to Jujutsu High with the others and prepared for a mission to find the traitor, Mechamaru. While the group waited to meet Utahime, Itadori left to see a movie, unaware that a tall girl was watching him.

• Fushiguro recovered after Lin Mu and the others arrived, but Itadori's hand swallowed a cursed finger before anyone could stop it.
• Lin Mu assessed his strength at roughly above eleven fingers and resolved to prepare for Kenjaku's coming plan to seal Satoru Gojo.
• Itadori told Lin Mu that Gojo-sensei had sent them on a new mission to meet Utahime and find the traitor.
• Lin Mu identified Mechamaru as the traitor and decided he would try to save him from Kenjaku and Mahito.
• While the group waited for Utahime, Itadori left after the others rejected his suggestion to watch Earthworm Man 4, failing to notice a tall girl watching him.

Lin Mu searched for Mechamaru while Kugisaki brought Ozawa Yuko to a café to ask Fushiguro and Lin Mu about Itadori. Itadori recognized Yuko when he arrived, and Kugisaki sent the two of them off for a walk.

• Lin Mu sent Shadow Clones to search nearby reservoirs for Mechamaru while he wandered around himself.
• Ozawa Yuko told Kugisaki about knowing Itadori in middle school and showed her an old photo; Kugisaki called Fushiguro and Lin Mu to the café.

• Kugisaki summoned Itadori, and he immediately recognized Ozawa Yuko when he arrived at the café.
• Kugisaki sent Itadori and Yuko out for a walk while Lin Mu hoped to witness their love story.

Lin Mu and the others investigated Mechamaru after Utahime named him the prime suspect in Jujutsu High’s infiltration, while Lin Mu tracked him to a reservoir. Mechamaru unleashed Ultimate Mechamaru against Mahito beneath a Curtain, hoping to defeat him and expose the plan to seal Satoru Gojo.

• Itadori, Kugisaki, Fushiguro, and Lin Mu spent their last day of leisure together after Itadori said goodbye to Ozawa.
• Utahime explained the infiltration clues and told the group that Mechamaru was their prime suspect, then led them to his supposed residence.
• Lin Mu learned from a Shadow Clone that Mechamaru was at a reservoir and left to investigate; Utahime found the address empty and concluded it was fake.
• Lin Mu reached the reservoir as it collapsed and Ultimate Mechamaru rose into the air beneath a black Curtain.
• Mechamaru faced Mahito and fired an Incineration Cannon, spending a year of stored cursed energy as he tried to defeat Mahito and send word about the plan to seal Satoru Gojo.

Mechamaru unleashed Ultimate Mechamaru against Mahito, spending his remaining cursed energy on a devastating cannon blast. Mahito survived, and Mechamaru faced him outside the disabled machine, believing his hopes for an ordinary life had ended.

• Mahito dismissed Mechamaru's first Incineration Cannon and evaded it, then battered Ultimate Mechamaru while explaining that the veil blocked communication.
• Mechamaru spent a year of cursed energy maintaining a shield against Mahito's attacks and realized he had to use his strongest move.
• Mechamaru fired the Ultimate Incineration Cannon, emptying his cursed energy and leaving Ultimate Mechamaru frozen in standby mode.
• Mechamaru emerged from the machine, but Mahito revealed he had survived the blast by shifting forms and was still ready to kill him.
• Mechamaru reflected on his lost chance at an ordinary life and feared that his betrayal had doomed Jujutsu High and made Miwa see him as a traitor.

Lin Mu interrupted Mahito and Kenjaku as they attacked Mechamaru, then pursued them into the reservoir with his fire technique. The reservoir nearly evaporated, though Mahito and Kenjaku’s fate remained unclear.

• Mahito feinted at Mechamaru, but tremors shook the Curtain and disrupted his killing blow.
• Lin Mu pierced the Curtain with a serpent-shaped longsword, and Mechamaru obeyed his command to crouch as Lin Mu’s Yasakana Magatama forced Mahito and Kenjaku to evade.
• Lin Mu landed on Ultimate Mechamaru’s shoulder and sent four fire dragons after Mahito and Kenjaku.
• Kenjaku and Mahito plunged into the reservoir to escape the flames, but Lin Mu’s fire dragons followed them underwater.
• Mechamaru watched the reservoir boil and its water level fall until only shallow water and heaps of cooked fish remained.

Lin Mu defeated the other cursed spirits but let Mahito and Kenjaku escape so the Culling Game could proceed. He erased Mechamaru’s memory of Gojo’s impending sealing and sent him to turn himself in, while leaving a recorder to reveal the plan later.

• Lin Mu sensed Mahito and Kenjaku escaping beneath the water and chose not to pursue them.

• Mechamaru headed toward Jujutsu High, while Lin Mu’s recorder remained ready to reveal the sealing plan if Mechamaru stopped releasing cursed energy.

On October 31, 2018, a curtain trapped civilians in Shibuya and demanded Satoru Gojo, while Jujutsu High sorcerers gathered outside to respond. Gojo entered the barrier alone as the other teams stood by to cover him.

• A curtain descended over Shibuya, trapping civilians and cutting off their phone signals while allowing sorcerers to pass through.
• Nanami, Fushiguro, Ino, and Ijichi guarded one side of the curtain and learned that civilians inside were calling for Satoru Gojo.
• Naobito Zenin, Maki Zenin, and Kugisaki Nobara were told to stand by as sorcerers searched for the curtain's caster.
• Kusakabe told Panda that Gojo would enter alone while the other sorcerers waited outside, noting that special-grade cursed spirits might be underground.
• Satoru Gojo passed through the curtain and knocked down a man who had been shouting for him.

Lin Mu entered the Shibuya veil to hunt cursed spirits while Satoru Gojo faced Jogo and the other special grades in a crowded subway station. As Gojo fought under a plan to restrain and seal him, Lin Mu began cutting through the cursed spirits and transfigured humans outside the inner veil.

• Lin Mu watched the veil from a rooftop, dismissed the higher-ups’ orders to stand by, and entered Shibuya to increase his inheritance progress.
• Mei Mei received a call about an unexpected development and told Itadori and Ui Ui to move out.
• Satoru Gojo entered the subway crowd and confronted Jogo and two other cursed spirits on the tracks.
• Jogo and the others planned to exploit the civilians to limit Gojo’s movements and hold him back for twenty minutes while Kenjaku prepared to seal him.
• Jogo and Hanami charged at Gojo as Naobito Zenin and Shinji remained outside the veils on standby.
• Lin Mu raced through the middle layer, killing cursed spirits and transfigured humans.

Lin Mu used Susanoo to tear through the second layer of the Veil and enter the area sealed around Satoru Gojo. The barrier’s caster realized her boast had created a Binding Vow requiring her to eat a ton of shit if Lin Mu got inside.

• A stout curse user and an old woman discussed the Veil’s strength and dismissed the possibility that Lin Mu could break through it.
• Lin Mu summoned the Nine-Tails to hunt nearby cursed spirits, then attacked the second layer of the Veil with Susanoo.

• Lin Mu tore open the Veil, entered, and let the opening heal behind him.
• The old woman collapsed after learning Lin Mu had entered, while her grandson and the stout curse user mocked her Binding Vow.

Lin Mu entered the subway station during Kenjaku’s attack, rushing to reach Hanami and help evacuate civilians before the battle worsened. He joined Satoru Gojo beside Jogo and Hanami, ready to fight alongside his teacher.

• After failing to stop Lin Mu, the old woman and the short, fat man agreed to focus on the cursed spirits’ mission and deny responsibility for what happened.
• Lin Mu entered the Curtain, sent Shadow Clones to clear cursed spirits, and hurried toward the subway station while hoping Hanami would survive.
• Lin Mu found the station packed with civilians and ordered three Shadow Clones to lead people outside before the fourth Curtain fell.
• Lin Mu used Ten Thousand Spider Threads to navigate the crowd, deflected Choso’s blood arrow with his Skeletal Susanoo, and landed beside Satoru Gojo.
• Satoru Gojo said he understood Lin Mu would ignore the old men’s orders and asked whether he could keep up; Lin Mu confidently agreed.

Lin Mu joined Satoru Gojo in the subway battle and overwhelmed Jogo and Hanami with his speed and wood-based techniques. As Hanami began to expand its domain, Lin Mu restrained it, while Satoru Gojo stopped Jogo and Choso from intervening.

• Jogo attacked Lin Mu, but Lin Mu and Satoru Gojo struck him together, sending him crashing into a wall.
• Hanami used branches to pull Jogo out of the way of Satoru Gojo's Black Flash, and Lin Mu overwhelmed Hanami's branches with a vast forest of trees.
• Hanami lost control of its branches and, enraged, began a Domain Expansion despite the danger to the civilians and the mission.
• Lin Mu bound Hanami with branches and Ten Thousand Spider Threads, which cut deeply into its body.
• Jogo and Choso moved to save Hanami, but Satoru Gojo appeared before Jogo and warned him not to move.

• Lin Mu killed Hanami with Ten Thousand Spider Threads and a skeletal hand, raising his inheritance progress to 53%.
• Jogo used nearby people as a human shield to evade Gojo, while Choso attacked Gojo with a blood arrow that Limitless stopped.
• Mahito arrived on a train packed with thousands of transfigured humans, and the train derailed over the trees blocking the tunnel.
• Mahito learned Hanami was dead and said the plan was still proceeding smoothly as the transfigured humans poured into the station.
• Civilians rushed toward the exits, trampling some people, and Gojo unleashed Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void.

Satoru Gojo and Lin Mu used Unlimited Void to kill hundreds of modified humans before attacking the cursed spirits. Kenjaku trapped Satoru Gojo with the Prison Realm and unleashed a colossal centipede against Lin Mu.

• Satoru Gojo and Lin Mu raced through the domain for 0.2 seconds, killing a little over seven hundred and six hundred modified humans respectively.
• Satoru Gojo struck the dazed Jogo with Black Flash while Lin Mu smashed Mahito into the ruins with the Uchiha Gunbai.
• Kenjaku activated the Prison Realm after appearing as Suguru Geto, and Satoru Gojo recognized the stitches on his forehead too late to escape.
• Kenjaku called out Lin Mu as a colossal centipede erupted from the subway floor and struck his Susanoo, slamming him into the barrier.

Kenjaku revealed his identity and sealed Satoru Gojo while a giant centipede cursed spirit fought Lin Mu. Teleported outside the inner curtain, Lin Mu faced the centipede with Itadori, Fushiguro, and Ino nearby, and confirmed that Gojo had been sealed.

• Lin Mu's Ten Thousand Spider Threads failed to damage the giant centipede, while Gojo confronted the fake Suguru Geto.

• Lin Mu attacked the centipede with four fire dragons, but its hard shell took almost no damage.
• Itadori, Fushiguro, and Ino saw Lin Mu fighting the centipede, and Lin Mu confirmed that Gojo had been sealed.

Lin Mu stayed behind to fight a giant centipede cursed spirit while Itadori, Fushiguro, and Ino headed to break the veil. Kenjaku’s plan to carry off the Prison Realm stalled, so he prepared to unleash the cursed object Rashomon against the sorcerers.

• Lin Mu told Itadori that Satoru Gojo had been sealed and sent Itadori, Fushiguro, and Ino to find the veil’s caster while he faced the giant centipede.
• Ino explained that the veil’s caster had made it durable by remaining outside it, and the group headed for the tallest building to knock the caster down.
• Naobito Zenin, Maki Zenin, and Kugisaki Nobara decided to leave the centipede to Lin Mu and continue their mission.
• Nanami headed deeper into the subway station with the other Grade 1 sorcerers to reach Satoru Gojo and prevent the enemy from escaping.
• The Prison Realm became too heavy for Kenjaku to carry, and Kenjaku said it needed time to process Satoru Gojo.
• Kenjaku revealed the cursed object Rashomon, which he said would summon an endless stream of cursed spirits.

Nanami found the assistant supervisors dead and learned from the wounded Ijichi that a blond curse user had attacked them before a powerful fox spirit intervened. Meanwhile, Panda and Kusakabe, along with Maki, Kugisaki, and Naobito, struggled against waves of cursed spirits and multiple special grades as they tried to reach the subway station.

• Nanami discovered the assistant supervisors' bodies and found Ijichi wounded but alive on an overpass.

• Naobito rescued Maki from a special-grade cursed spirit while Kugisaki complained that Jujutsu High had not sent reinforcements.
• Naobito prepared to attack the weaker special grade and told Maki and Kugisaki to watch for an opening.

As cursed spirits overwhelmed the sorcerers in Shibuya, many abandoned the mission and fled, leaving Naobito Zenin and Maki struggling. Lin Mu blocked the retreat, annihilated the pursuing swarm with a massive fire attack, and was joined by several identical figures as the sorcerers stared in shock.

• Sorcerer teams collapsed under the cursed spirits’ assault, and many blamed Satoru Gojo before abandoning civilians and retreating.
• Naobito Zenin and Maki realized the fleeing squads were drawing even more cursed spirits toward them and feared they could no longer reach the subway station to rescue Satoru Gojo.
