Chapter Summaries

Lin Mu’s Shadow Clones rescued sorcerers across the battlefield by swiftly exorcising cursed spirits, while Naobito Zenin’s group continued toward the subway station to support Lin Mu. Kusakabe and Panda were near defeat when three fire dragons suddenly killed the samurai cursed spirits, and an unseen figure watched from above.

• Lin Mu’s Shadow Clones wiped out the cursed spirit hordes and restored the fleeing sorcerers’ confidence.
• A clone crushed the special-grade cursed spirit fighting Naobito Zenin, and Kugisaki identified it by the fan missing from its back.
• Naobito Zenin, Maki, and Kugisaki decided to continue deeper into the subway station and help Lin Mu.
• Kusakabe and Panda were overwhelmed by the three samurai cursed spirits and the surrounding horde.
• Three fire dragons descended and killed the samurai cursed spirits as a figure with crimson eyes watched from a high-rise.

Lin Mu fought the powerful centipede cursed spirit while his clones rescued civilians and exorcised cursed spirits throughout the veil, rapidly raising his inheritance progress. As Kusakabe and Panda regrouped, Lin Mu unlocked a new ability mid-battle to find a way past the centipede’s defenses.

• Lin Mu’s clone killed three special-grade warrior cursed spirits, giving Kusakabe and Panda time to rest; Panda said Lin Mu’s clones might have rescued the trapped civilians.
• Kusakabe sent the damaged Panda back for treatment and continued deeper inside, determined not to leave Lin Mu to fight alone.
• Lin Mu attacked the giant centipede cursed spirit with Yasakana Magatama, but its shell and many cursed techniques let it withstand his attacks and strike back.
• Lin Mu realized the centipede had no obvious weakness and that the rising inheritance progress meant his clone was exorcising a surge of cursed spirits elsewhere.
• As the Shadow Clone continued exorcising cursed spirits, Lin Mu’s inheritance progress passed 55%, and he chose to unlock a new ability during the fight.

Lin Mu endured the golden fruit’s painful power surge while fighting the giant centipede cursed spirit, and the Humanoid Susanoo was badly damaged when he took its attack head-on. As the sorcerers argued over whether he had reached his limit, Lin Mu rose from the ruins, repaired his Susanoo, and revealed his newly unlocked Tengai Shinsei.

• Lin Mu swallowed the 50% golden fruit and the 55% pale blue fruit, enduring intense pain as his strength surged.
• The giant centipede sensed that Lin Mu was in pain, enhanced its speed, and charged at him.
• Lin Mu blocked the centipede’s attack with the Humanoid Susanoo, which lost its swords and an arm and became covered in cracks.
• The injured sorcerers argued over Lin Mu’s condition, with one defending him and another mocking him and invoking Satoru Gojo’s sealing.
• Lin Mu rose from the ruins, watched the Humanoid Susanoo repair itself, and revealed that he had unlocked Tengai Shinsei.

After reaching 55% inheritance progress, Lin Mu gained Tengai Shinsei, stronger attributes, and Half-Body Susanoo, then caught the centipede cursed spirit and prepared to finish it. His clones protected the nearby sorcerers from an approaching threat, while Mei You Niuzi refused their protection and found himself beneath a descending meteor.

• Lin Mu's inheritance progress passed 50%, granting him Tengai Shinsei, and then reached 55%, strengthening his abilities and unlocking Half-Body Susanoo.
• The centipede cursed spirit charged Lin Mu, but his Humanoid Susanoo caught it, healed, and restrained it as Lin Mu weakened it with his Eternal Mangekyo.
• The wounded sorcerers praised Lin Mu, while Mei You Niuzi argued with them and decided to head deeper into the subway without his help.
• Dozens of Lin Mu's clones summoned Humanoid Susanoo to shield the nearby sorcerers, but Mei You Niuzi remained outside and continued onward.
• A massive meteor emerged from the clouds above Mei You Niuzi, filling his view as he looked up in terror.

Lin Mu's meteorite descended toward the centipede cursed spirit while his clones protected the sorcerers, leaving Mei You Niuzi begging to be let inside the Susanoo. The meteorite struck, destroying the surrounding area as dust and smoke engulfed them.

• The sorcerers panicked at the meteorite and realized Lin Mu might have summoned it to target the centipede cursed spirit.
• Mei You Niuzi clung to the Susanoo, apologized to Lin Mu, and pleaded for protection.
• The meteorite ignited as it descended, and the sorcerers braced for impact.
• The meteorite hit with a deafening shockwave, tearing up the ground and collapsing nearby skyscrapers.
• Dust and smoke swept over the area, obscuring everything around the protected sorcerers.

Lin Mu crushed a massive centipede cursed spirit with a second, larger meteorite and gained enough inheritance progress to transform and unlock new techniques. He flew deeper into the area to exorcise two more special-grade cursed spirits.

• Lin Mu’s first meteorite devastated the area and pinned the centipede cursed spirit, leaving half its body destroyed.
• Lin Mu summoned a second meteorite, which crushed the first and struck the centipede again as the sorcerers watched in silence.
• Lin Mu gained inheritance progress, advancing from 55% to 62%, and ate a pale blue fruit to complete his transformation.
• Lin Mu unlocked Fire Release: Majestic Flame Annihilation and Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique, and planned to use Wood Clones in battle and Shadow Clones for intelligence gathering.
• Lin Mu flew on his Wood Dragon toward the deepest part of the area to exorcise two waiting special-grade cursed spirits.

Kenjaku sent Mahito, Choso, and Jogo to hunt Yuji Itadori while he stayed behind to guard the Prison Realm and refused to return Suguru Geto’s body to the two girls. Lin Mu entered the third veil and discovered a Rashomon leading to an ancient battlefield filled with cursed spirits, giving him a chance to advance his inheritance progress.

• Kenjaku dismissed the earthquake as no threat, said his fused cursed spirit could handle Lin Mu, and stayed to guard the Prison Realm while Mahito, Choso, and Jogo set off to find Yuji Itadori.
• Kenjaku refused the two girls’ demand to return Suguru Geto’s body and threatened them when they protested.
• Lin Mu entered the veil after the barrier blocking sorcerers had been broken and learned from a Shadow Clone that cursed spirits had overwhelmed the streets and scattered the Jujutsu High sorcerers.
• Lin Mu rode his Wood Dragon into the third veil and found a Rashomon opening onto an ancient battlefield, where countless cursed spirits were streaming through.
• Lin Mu recognized the massive number of cursed spirits as an opportunity to increase his inheritance progress.

Lin Mu used Wood Clones to surround Rashomon with towering tree walls and burned the trapped cursed spirits, rapidly increasing his inheritance progress. As the gate cleared and more cursed spirits poured out, powerful special-grade spirits gathered behind it, eager to escape and kill.

• Lin Mu dispelled his Shadow Clones, absorbed their battlefield memories, and created ten stronger Wood Clones.
• Lin Mu’s Wood Clones surrounded Rashomon with a vast tree wall and began closing it around the cursed spirits.
• Lin Mu ordered the Wood Clones to stop the walls and unleash Majestic Destroyer Flame, burning the enclosed cursed spirits and raising his inheritance progress.
• A special-grade cursed spirit emerged from Rashomon, but the flames burned it to ash before it could attack anyone.
• Powerful special-grade cursed spirits behind Rashomon discussed their escape and prepared to massacre humans.

Cursed spirits fleeing through Rashomon discovered that the other side was a sea of flames, where Lin Mu’s power killed those who emerged. Lin Mu found a Curtain shielding Rashomon from his attacks and entry, leaving the surviving cursed spirits trapped inside and taunting him.

• A special-grade cursed spirit passed through Rashomon and found itself in a burning hell, where it and the other cursed spirits were consumed by flames beneath crimson eyes.
• Lin Mu’s inheritance progress surged after Kenjaku sent two groups of cursed spirits, and he headed for Rashomon when its growth slowed.
• Lin Mu found cursed spirits fleeing back through Rashomon, while those still inside were too terrified to come out.
• Lin Mu attacked Rashomon with Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Arrows, but a Curtain blocked the flames and prevented him from entering.
• The cursed spirits mocked Lin Mu from behind the Curtain, and one mocking special-grade cursed spirit was suddenly pierced through the chest by an attack from its companion.

Lin Mu used genjutsu to turn powerful cursed spirits inside Rashomon against their allies, then sealed Rashomon away and headed into the subway station. There, Nanami, Naobito Zenin, and Maki encountered an octopus-like cursed spirit as they searched for the place where Satoru Gojo was sealed.

• Lin Mu's genjutsu-controlled cursed spirits slaughtered their allies inside Rashomon, while the other spirits were too afraid of Lin Mu to flee past him.
• After Rashomon closed and became a cursed object, Lin Mu picked it up, dispelled the Wood Dragon, and entered the subway station.
• Lin Mu thought Itadori was likely fighting Choso and hoped the plot had not changed too much, though he knew his strength would inevitably affect events.
• Nanami and Naobito Zenin advised Maki to return, but she insisted she was fit to keep fighting, and the group continued deeper into the station.
• Naobito Zenin became serious on the lower floor as Nanami noticed a hooded, octopus-like cursed spirit emerging from a pillar.

Naobito Zenin and Nanami battled Dagon after discovering that the weak-looking cursed spirit was only a cursed womb. Dagon eventually activated its domain, Horizon of the Captivating Skandha, and unleashed a swarm of lethal shikigami on Naobito, Nanami, and Maki.

• Naobito Zenin revealed his speed with Projection Sorcery, shattered the cursed womb, and exposed the bones of its victims.
• The cursed womb transformed into Dagon, who attacked Naobito and Nanami but struggled to keep up with Naobito’s relentless blows.
• Dagon conjured seawater and tried to form a domain, but Naobito repeatedly interrupted its hand seals and battered it.
• Naobito saw a cursed seal on Dagon’s body, but Dagon used it to activate Domain Expansion: Horizon of the Captivating Skandha.
• Inside the domain, a shikigami cut Nanami’s cheek, and Dagon unleashed Death Swarm against the three sorcerers.

Dagon’s domain overwhelmed Naobito, Nanami, and Maki until Fushiguro opened a passage by contesting the domain. As they prepared to escape, Toji Zenin appeared in the opening, shocking Naobito.

• Dagon’s fish shikigami badly wounded Naobito, Nanami, and Maki, but Maki and Nanami regrouped after the sure-hit effect stopped.
• Fushiguro emerged from a black whirlpool and contested Dagon’s domain, temporarily disabling its sure-hit effect.
• Fushiguro explained that he could open a passage through the domain so the group could escape and regroup outside.
• Naobito, Nanami, and Maki rushed toward Fushiguro as he forced open a hole in Dagon’s domain.
• Toji Zenin appeared in the passage, and Naobito identified him as the Tyrant of Heaven.

Toji Zenin, summoned through a séance and possessing his own body, attacked Dagon after escaping Fushiguro’s collapsing domain. He overwhelmed Dagon with his strength and speed, then began reshaping Playful Cloud into sharp points.

• Naobito Zenin explained that Toji Zenin had possessed no cursed energy but had gained immense physical power through Heavenly Restriction.
• Toji Zenin escaped as Fushiguro’s domain collapsed, then targeted Dagon as the strongest nearby opponent.
• Toji Zenin took Playful Cloud from Maki and struck Dagon hard enough to badly injure it.
• Toji Zenin fought off Dagon’s shikigami and repeatedly smashed Dagon with Playful Cloud, moving faster than Dagon could follow.
• Toji Zenin ground both ends of Playful Cloud into thin, sharp points with brute force.

Toji Zenin used his Heavenly Restriction and sharpened Playful Cloud to overwhelm Dagon, but he stopped before delivering the final blow when a stronger presence approached. Lin Mu's Wood Clone then shattered Dagon's Domain and appeared before them.

• Naobito Zenin explained that Toji Zenin's Heavenly Restriction gave him immense physical strength and left him with no cursed energy, so Dagon's Domain could not target him.
• Toji Zenin sharpened Playful Cloud, skewered Dagon, and battered him with rapid strikes until he was nearly unable to fight back.
• Toji Zenin stopped before finishing Dagon, and Fushiguro realized the séance's command could make him pursue the strongest person even after the sorcerer died.
• Naobito Zenin inferred that someone stronger than Dagon had appeared nearby as the Domain shook and developed cracks.
• Lin Mu's Wood Clone shattered the Domain and landed, its Sharingan fixed on Toji Zenin and Dagon.

Lin Mu's Wood Clone confronted Toji Zenin and overwhelmed him in a fast, brutal fight. As Toji faced death, Lin Mu told him that his son was Megumi Fushiguro.

• Lin Mu's Wood Clone arrived, and Naobito Zenin warned him that the white-clad Toji Zenin was exceptionally strong and had made him a target.
• Lin Mu's Wood Clone slowed Toji with his Sharingan, dodged Playful Cloud, and punched him through dozens of trees.
• Toji attacked again, but Lin Mu's Wood Clone evaded his blows and struck him hard enough to send him into the air.
• Toji accepted that he was about to die and wondered whether his son had taken his surname.
• Lin Mu appeared above Toji and told him that the sea-urchin-haired boy nearby was his son, Megumi Fushiguro.

‘Lin Mu’ killed Toji Fushiguro and exorcised Dagon, rescuing the sorcerers trapped in Dagon’s domain. As the group recovered in the subway station, Naobito Zenin speculated that Lin Mu’s power came from his father’s bloodline and Divine Xia.

• ‘Lin Mu’ knocked Toji Fushiguro unconscious, and Toji died at peace after recognizing that Megumi carried his surname.
• Megumi felt an unexplained sense of loss as Toji’s face changed back to the old woman’s grandson.
• Naobito Zenin wondered whether Lin Mu’s immense power came from a jujutsu family in Divine Xia and reflected on how little he knew about its sorcerers.
• ‘Lin Mu’ swiftly killed Dagon, causing the domain to collapse and returning everyone to the dim subway station.
• Nanami asked whether they should continue deeper, but ‘Lin Mu’ told the injured sorcerers to rest and leave the rest to him.

Choso left Itadori unconscious after realizing he was his little brother, and Jogo later fed Itadori ten Sukuna's Fingers to awaken Sukuna. Sukuna emerged and attacked Lin Mu, who revealed his blue skeletal armor and Sharingan as he faced the King of Curses.

• Choso realized Itadori was his little brother, could not bring himself to kill him, and left him unconscious in the restroom.
• Jogo found two young female jujutsu sorcerers guarding Itadori and killed them with flames, though they survived because of a technique.
• Jogo fed Itadori ten Sukuna's Fingers, bringing his total to at least fifteen and awakening Sukuna.
• Sukuna severed Jogo's hand, took control of Itadori's body, and encountered Lin Mu in the subway station.
• Sukuna attacked Lin Mu with an invisible slash, but Lin Mu emerged unharmed in blue skeletal armor, his Sharingan glowing.

Lin Mu fought Sukuna in the subway station, blocking and overpowering the King of Curses despite Sukuna’s restored strength. After Lin Mu deflected Sukuna’s strongest slash with the Uchiha Gunbai, he unleashed its absorbed power in an explosion that tore through the station toward the surface.

• Sukuna’s invisible slashes cut the station pillars into cubes and severed Jogo’s left leg while Lin Mu’s Susanoo barely showed damage.
• Lin Mu rushed Sukuna and struck his crossed arms, forcing Sukuna to realize Lin Mu’s strength exceeded his own.
• Sukuna fired a powerful slash at Lin Mu as the two girls watched and discussed relying on Sukuna to reclaim Suguru Geto’s body.
• Lin Mu used the Uchiha Gunbai to deflect Sukuna’s slash through the ceiling and several floors above the subway.
• Lin Mu released the slash’s absorbed power in a controlled explosion that blasted upward through the station.

Lin Mu learned that Sukuna had once fought a powerful ability user from Divine Xia whom he could not defeat, then faced Sukuna’s full Domain Expansion with his own enormous Half-Body Susanoo. The chapter ended as Jogo and the two girls wondered whether Sukuna could win.

• Sukuna questioned Lin Mu about his powerful fan and deduced that it came from Divine Xia, as did Lin Mu’s father.
• Sukuna revealed that he had once fought a Divine Xia ability user and had been unable to defeat him despite giving the battle everything he had.
• Jogo and Lin Mu reacted with shock to Sukuna’s confession, and Sukuna declared that he would kill everyone who knew the secret.
• Sukuna unleashed Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, trapping Jogo and the two girls beneath its deadly aura.
• Lin Mu summoned Half-Body Susanoo, which burst through the subway station and grew larger than Sukuna’s domain.
• Jogo and the two girls stared at Lin Mu’s giant Susanoo, while Jogo began to doubt that Sukuna could win.

Lin Mu used his Half-Body Susanoo to withstand Sukuna’s strengthened domain and overpower him with Yasakana Magatama and a giant serpent-shaped sword. As Lin Mu prepared to deal with the aftermath, Jogo attacked with a meteor, and Sukuna’s “Furnace Open” warned that the fight might not be over.

• Sukuna imposed a binding vow to focus his domain’s slashes on Lin Mu, but the Half-Body Susanoo endured them while Jogo and two girls were protected beneath it.
• Lin Mu hurled Yasakana Magatama at Sukuna, then detonated the scattered magatama and blasted apart the surrounding battlefield.
• Lin Mu formed a giant serpent-shaped sword and drove it into the ground, then dispelled most of his Susanoo after confirming Sukuna had stopped moving.
• Jogo charged Lin Mu with Maximum Technique: Meteor, believing he might catch Lin Mu off guard after the battle.
• As Lin Mu raised his hand to destroy Jogo’s meteor, Sukuna murmured, “Furnace Open!”
