Yuji, Megumi, Hakari, and their allies planned how to enter the Culling Game and find a Player with a hundred points so they could add a rule allowing point transfers. Hakari drew Tokyo No. 1 Colony, while Yuji also drew Tokyo No. 2 Colony, where Panda was supposed to search for Hana Kurusu.

Jie Jian protected a crowd of ordinary people in a villa district while delaying a Culling Game rule change until he gained enough points. When Panda and Yuji Itadori arrived, Jie Jian recognized the start of the plot and questioned why Jujutsu High had sent a high school student.

• Charlie warned Jie Jian that the villa residents risked having their cursed techniques confiscated if their points did not change within nineteen days.

Yuji and Panda investigated a peaceful survivor community in Tokyo No. 2 Colony and discovered that Jie Jian had the area's highest score. In Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Kinji Hakari defeated Haba and Hanyu, then learned from Rin Amai that Hiromi Higuruma was likely a high-scoring player.

• Kinji Hakari told Hiromi Higuruma he needed points to add a rule and warned that he would use force if Higuruma refused to hand them over.
• Hiromi Higuruma rejected Hakari’s request after learning about his underground boxing matches, then summoned his shikigami and invoked Domain Expansion: Deadly Sentencing.

• Hiromi Higuruma’s domain found Kinji Hakari guilty of running an illegal underground casino and confiscated his cursed technique.
• Higuruma struck Hakari with his extending gavel, while Hakari’s cursed energy dwindled and he considered whether to flee.

• Kinji Hakari recognized that his domain matched Hiromi Higuruma’s and activated Idle Death Gamble during the Second Hearing.

• In Tokyo No. 2 Colony, Jie Jian made Panda realize that Kinji might struggle to convince players to give him their points.

• Kinji tried to encourage Hiromi by invoking legal dramas and asking whether he remembered his earlier desire to resist unjust judges.
• Hiromi dismissed the TV shows as unrealistic, then began reflecting on the past Kinji had asked him to remember.

Kinji Hakari persuaded Hiromi Higuruma to keep practicing law, though Higuruma refused to hand over his points until Hakari asked politely. Higuruma lent him the points, and a new Culling Game rule allowed players to transfer scores, giving Yuji Itadori and the others hope.

• Hiromi Higuruma recalled how repeated unjust cases had destroyed his faith in the law, and Kinji Hakari urged him to keep fighting instead of giving up.

Yuji and his allies learned that Hana Kurusu had left for Tokyo No. 1 Colony, where she could help free Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm. After adding a rule that let players enter and leave Barriers freely, Yuji set off for Tokyo No. 1 Colony with Jie Jian, who hoped to encounter Sukuna.

• Jie Jian explained that Hana Kurusu had left the Barrier because her cursed technique could nullify Barriers and she had found no ancient sorcerers there.

• Jie Jian warned that players could spawn high in the air and convinced the group to accompany Megumi to the hospital to help Tsumiki enter the Barrier safely.

Jie Jian exposed that Tsumiki had been possessed by the ancient sorcerer Yorozu, who escaped after revealing her identity. Sukuna then seized Yuji’s body and tried to transfer his soul into Megumi, but a voice interrupted him just as he was about to succeed.

• Yuji and Megumi brought their friends to the hospital to meet Tsumiki and explained that players could now enter and leave the Culling Game Barriers freely.
• Jie Jian shocked Tsumiki and revealed that the person in her body was not an ordinary sorcerer, prompting Yorozu to admit who she was and fly away.

• Sukuna tore off Yuji’s little finger and turned it into a cursed object, planning to feed it to Megumi and take over his body.
• Sukuna stopped Megumi from summoning Mahoraga and clamped a hand over his mouth, but an unseen attacker called out to him with a challenge about a Lightning-Speed Kick.

Jie Jian fought Sukuna to stop him from forcing Sukuna’s finger into Megumi Fushiguro, but Sukuna’s powerful slash cut Jie Jian in half. Sukuna’s minute in control ended and his soul returned to the finger, leaving Yuji Itadori to awaken beside the fallen Jie Jian.

• Yuji Itadori remembered the events of the minute and mourned Jie Jian, who urged him to keep moving forward before losing consciousness.

Jie Jian survived Sukuna’s attack by reattaching his lower half, and Yuji decided not to consume the finger containing Sukuna’s power until Gojo could supervise him. Uraume attacked to seize the finger, but Jie Jian broke free of his ice and confronted him alongside Yuji, Fushiguro, and Panda.

• Panda heard Jie Jian’s faint heartbeat, and Jie Jian asked him to bring over his lower half so he could reconnect it with Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Jie Jian reattached his body, explained that he needed his lower half to use its cursed energy, and told Yuji to bandage his bleeding finger.
• Yuji chose not to eat the finger containing the power of sixteen of Sukuna’s fingers until Gojo woke up.
• Uraume attacked the group, froze Jie Jian in an iceberg, and lunged at Yuji to take the finger.
• Jie Jian shattered the ice, struck Uraume into the floor, and challenged him while pointing out that the group had four fighters against one.

Yuji and his allies faced Uraume and Kenjaku as they tried to protect Sukuna’s finger. Jie Jian revealed overwhelming cursed energy and gained the upper hand against Kenjaku, who responded by opening his Domain Expansion.

• With Kenjaku gone and the domain's pressure lifted, Jie Jian repaired his body and prepared to face Mahoraga.

Kenjaku and Uraume fled from Mahoraga and planned to revive Sukuna, while Jie Jian stayed behind to fight Mahoraga. Jie Jian began unleashing a powerful lightning technique, ending with a storm striking the battlefield.

• Kenjaku told Uraume that Mahoraga would keep pursuing them, and they decided to find a suitable host to revive Sukuna.
• Mahoraga overwhelmed Yuji Itadori, Panda, and Megumi Fushiguro, while Jie Jian warned them that Mahoraga was adapting to their attacks.
• Megumi Fushiguro explained that he could not withdraw Mahoraga unless it died or he defeated it.

• A thick bolt of lightning struck the ground as a voice declared, "The storm gathers, bearing me into the clouds! I am the storm!"

• Jie Jian returned to his normal form, and Megumi Fushiguro dropped to his knees in disbelief at his victory.

Jie Jian survived his battle with Mahoraga but was left gravely injured, and Kenjaku and Uraume considered possible vessels for Sukuna. While Shoko Ieiri treated Jie Jian at Jujutsu High, Yuji and Megumi found Angel, Hana Kurusu, in the No. 1 Colony.

• Yuji, Megumi Fushiguro, and Panda reached Jie Jian after his victory over Mahoraga, and Panda carried him toward Jujutsu High as Jie Jian warned that Kenjaku might return.
• Kenjaku considered going back to the battlefield but left to focus on resurrecting Sukuna, while Uraume suspected Megumi Fushiguro might be Sukuna's intended vessel.

• Uraume assessed Megumi Fushiguro as a possible vessel but found Hana Kurusu and Angel confronting him.
• Angel demanded Sukuna’s finger so she could purify Sukuna, and Uraume attacked the group with ice techniques.
