After Jogo’s defeat, the group found ten of Sukuna’s Fingers and realized they had to return them to Jujutsu High. With Naobito Zenin critically injured and Gojo still needing rescue, Megumi Fushiguro volunteered to take Naobito and the Fingers out of Shibuya, leaving Nanami and Maki to continue toward Gojo.

• Naobito appeared behind Mahito and swung his remaining cursed energy into a punch aimed at Mahito’s head.

• Jie Jian took control of Maki, told Nanami to handle the Transfigured Humans, and charged at Mahito.
• Jie Jian smashed through Mahito’s flesh wall and struck his head apart with Playful Cloud, but Mahito regenerated and realized Maki’s strength and speed had changed dramatically.

• Mahito regenerated and taunted Jie Jian, who vowed to keep attacking until his cursed energy ran out.
• Jie Jian moved too quickly for Mahito to activate Idle Transfiguration and repeatedly smashed him through the air.

• Jie Jian struck the sludge with Playful Cloud, but it quickly flowed back together as Mahito laughed and charged at her.

• Mahito abandoned his human form and became the enormous Mud Man: True to overcome Jie Jian's superior physical strength.
• Jie Jian repeatedly smashed Mahito's mud limbs with Playful Cloud, but the mud regenerated and more arms emerged to attack him.
• Jie Jian retreated to a rooftop, where Nanami joined him and concluded that Mahito's giant body must have a vulnerable core.
• Jie Jian realized he lacked the wide-area attack needed to hit Mahito's core, while Nanami also had no suitable attack method.
• Mahito's mud began spreading toward the building as Jie Jian frantically searched for a way to attack the entire mass.

Jie Jian and Nanami struggled to evade Mahito’s expanding mud body, which was infused with Idle Transfiguration, while their stamina and options dwindled. When Nobara Kugisaki arrived, Jie Jian recognized that her cursed technique could help and urged her to drive nails into the mud.

• Nobara Kugisaki arrived and hesitated at the sight of Mud Man: True, but chose not to abandon Kento Nanami and Jie Jian.
• Jie Jian told Kugisaki to attack the mud, and she first used Hairpin, which only blasted a small hole in it.
• Jie Jian corrected Kugisaki and told her to use Resonance, so she struck Mud Man: True with another pair of nails.
• Kugisaki’s Resonance pierced Mahito’s Soul Core, causing immense pain and turning the mud mountain into a frozen mass bristling with iron pillars.
• Jie Jian told Kugisaki to keep attacking, and she prepared to use Resonance again.

Mahito fled after Jie Jian, Nanami, and Kugisaki cornered and shattered him, splitting into tiny figures to escape. Suguru Geto appeared to rescue him, but Mahito realized Geto intended to absorb him as he was pulled toward him.

• Kugisaki's nails forced Mahito to shrink out of his mud-man form, and Jie Jian struck his body apart with Playful Cloud.
