Itadori’s group reunited Megumi with Tsumiki and prepared to transfer points so she could leave the Culling Game, but they discovered that an ancient sorcerer named Yorozu had been impersonating her. As Yorozu fled, Sukuna took over Itadori’s body and used their binding vow to force his finger into Megumi’s mouth, beginning his possession of Megumi.
