After Jie Jian revealed his plan, Angel agreed to follow it, while Kashimo questioned whether he would still get to fight Sukuna.

After learning Angel could take them out of the Culling Game barriers, Jie Jian proposed visiting other colonies to recruit strong fighters, and they decided to head for Sendai to find Ryu Ishigori.

• Jie Jian’s cursed energy pressure spread across Sendai Colony, and Ryu Ishigori mistook his nervous sweat for rain before calling Jie Jian far too sweet.

• Ryu Ishigori recognized Hajime Kashimo and angrily accused him of refusing to open his Domain, and Hajime agreed that he wanted to fight under favorable conditions.

Jie Jian and Takako Uro confronted Dhruv’s shrinking Inviolable domain while Hajime Kashimo continued fighting Ryu Ishigori. Jie Jian chose to leave Kashimo to his duel, but his attempt to touch the domain cost him his fingers before he healed them with Reverse Cursed Technique.

• After Dhruv’s shikigami encircled the fighters, Jie Jian destroyed one of the Pterosaurs with lightning, prompting Dhruv to retreat his larger shikigami and keep shrinking the Inviolable domain.
• Takako Uro asked whether Jie Jian would help Hajime Kashimo, but Jie Jian decided to trust him to fight Ryu Ishigori alone.
• Jie Jian told Takako Uro that they needed to stop Dhruv’s domain before more people were caught in it, and she followed him to its edge.
• Takako Uro warned Jie Jian not to touch the Inviolable domain, but he reached into its red light and lost his fingers.
• Jie Jian restored his fingers with Reverse Cursed Technique and wondered how the domain could injure him despite his immense cursed energy.

Jie Jian analyzed Dhruv Lakdawalla’s “Inviolable” domain and realized Dhruv could be reached beneath the ground, but he used a Thunder Cannon instead. Dhruv was killed, leaving Takako Uro stunned by Jie Jian’s approach.

• Jie Jian reasoned that Dhruv’s shikigami sealed off the ground and sky, while the sewers might provide a route beneath the domain.
• Jie Jian asked Takako Uro to locate Dhruv from the air, and she spotted his domain around a villa more than six hundred meters southwest.

Takako Uro stayed in Sendai Colony and refused to join the fight against Sukuna, while Jie Jian asked Ryu Ishigori to show him Domain Expansion. After Jie Jian’s careless remark about Uro’s technique burning out, she challenged him and opened her domain.

• Takako Uro stayed with the three Jie Jian brothers because the Culling Game had not allowed free entry and exit from the Barrier.

• Takako Uro isolated Jie Jian in her domain and struck him repeatedly with guaranteed-hit Ushura Bullets.

• Hajime Kashimo and Ryu Ishigori saw Takako Uro leave in Jie Jian’s coat while Jie Jian stood alone, confused.

Jie Jian resumed sparring with Ryu Ishigori and pushed himself to awaken his own Domain Expansion under the pressure of Ryu’s domain. As Ryu’s attacks closed in, Jie Jian realized he might be able to create an open domain without constructing a boundary.

• Takako Uro returned wearing clothes and told Jie Jian that she had thrown away his Baleno jacket.

• Ryu Ishigori overwhelmed Jie Jian with a barrage of cannons, and Jie Jian withdrew Hollow Wicker Basket to force Adaptive Evolution to activate.
• Jie Jian considered the requirements for a domain and realized that he might be able to use an Open Domain without boundaries.

Jie Jian used his fight with Ryu Ishigori to pursue a new form of Domain Expansion that made him invincible rather than relying on a Guaranteed Hit. After Ryu’s cannon seemingly destroyed him, Jie Jian re-formed from lightning and announced that he had mastered the Cursed Energy Core.

• Jie Jian focused inward as Ryu Ishigori fired his Cursed Energy Cannon, and his body began to transform.
• The cannon struck Jie Jian, who vanished and left only his clothes behind as Ryu Ishigori’s domain dissipated.

• Jie Jian reappeared amid electric arcs and announced that he had mastered the Cursed Energy Core.

After an epiphany during the battle in Ryu Ishigori's domain, Jie Jian gained a domain that automatically turns him into lightning to evade attacks. The chapter ended with Jie Jian realizing his open domain seemed to have no range limit and required almost no cursed energy to remain active.

• Jie Jian survived a lightning strike and descended with an aura that made Ryu Ishigori, Hajime Kashimo, and Takako Uro sense he had become godlike.
• Jie Jian demonstrated that his domain could turn his body into electricity and restore it, then explained that it automatically elementalized him to evade a domain's Guaranteed Hit.
• Takako Uro asked whether Jie Jian could use Domain Expansion, and he said his domain worked differently from theirs.
• Hajime Kashimo urged everyone to get food, then noticed Jie Jian was still maintaining his domain after they had walked over a hundred meters.
• Jie Jian realized his open domain had no apparent range limit and barely consumed cursed energy because it seemed to function as an instinct.

Takako Uro determined that Jie Jian had not learned Domain Expansion, since his abilities came from his cursed technique and shutting them off caused no Cursed Technique Burnout. Jie Jian accepted the correction, then blamed Ryu Ishigori and Hajime Kashimo for failing to push him hard enough and rebuked them for not mastering their own domains.

• Takako Uro asked Jie Jian to turn his supposed domain off and on, then concluded that it was not Domain Expansion.
• Jie Jian protested that his ability should count as Domain Expansion, but Takako Uro insisted it did not.
• Hajime Kashimo tried to console Jie Jian, who pointed out that Kashimo himself could not use Domain Expansion.
• Ryu Ishigori realized Kashimo might have been unable to use Domain Expansion and confronted him, prompting Kashimo to admit he had never claimed he could.
• Jie Jian blamed Ryu Ishigori's domain for failing to pressure him, then told both Ryu Ishigori and Hajime Kashimo to master Domain Expansion before facing Sukuna.
• Takako Uro quietly stepped in front of Ryu Ishigori and Hajime Kashimo as Jie Jian continued rebuking them.

Jie Jian tested his new elemental abilities in Sendai while Kenjaku noticed an unusually powerful sorcerer in the colonies and discussed the possibility that Satoru Gojo could be unsealed. Later, Jie Jian realized his plan to free Gojo could expose their ambush to Kenjaku, and Takako Uro questioned his extreme caution.

• Jie Jian gave up trying to learn Domain Expansion for now and tested his new cursed-energy control, elementalization, and ability to hover in Sendai.
• Kenjaku noticed that Tokyo No. 2 Colony and Sendai Colony had gone unusually quiet, and suspected a powerful sorcerer had appeared.
• Kenjaku told Uraume that Angel might help Jujutsu High unseal Satoru Gojo, but reassured her that the Prison Realm in his possession would prevent it.
• Kurourushi revived through its offspring, and Jie Jian left the revived curse for Hajime Kashimo to fight.
• Jie Jian explained to Takako Uro that freeing Satoru Gojo with the Prison Realm: Back could reveal him to Kenjaku, and worried that they might need to defeat Kenjaku first.
• Takako Uro asked Jie Jian whether he had always been so cautious.

Jie Jian struggled to plan for confronting Kenjaku, then left the Sendai Colony Barrier with Hajime Kashimo, Ryu Ishigori, and Takako Uro. After Hana Kurusu and Angel clashed with Takako Uro, Jie Jian told her to go live her own life, prompting her to fly away in anger.

• Jie Jian could not decide how to eliminate the risks of confronting Kenjaku, while Hajime Kashimo urged him to simply fight.
• Jie Jian and Hajime Kashimo left the Sendai Colony Barrier after three days and reunited with Hana Kurusu.
• Jie Jian introduced Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro to Hana Kurusu, and Angel rebuked Takako Uro for incarnating in another person's body.
• Jie Jian told Takako Uro she could leave and start a new life, and she angrily flew away.
• Jie Jian asked Hajime Kashimo why Takako Uro was upset, and Kashimo guessed she was on her period.

Takako Uro discovered Kenjaku and Uraume and attacked them rather than warn Jie Jian. Jie Jian sensed the fight and rushed to help her, leaving the others behind.

• Uraume used Ice Formation: Frost Calm, but Takako Uro distorted the space around herself to avoid the freezing attack.
• Kenjaku recognized Takako Uro and demanded to know how she had escaped the Sendai Colony, then declared he would eliminate her.
• Jie Jian sensed Takako Uro fighting a powerful sorcerer and transformed into lightning to race to her aid.

Takako Uro fought Kenjaku, who used his knowledge of her technique and an Open Domain to overwhelm her. Just as Kenjaku prepared to finish her, Jie Jian struck him down and arrived on the battlefield, only to taunt Uro.

• Kenjaku explained that he had studied Takako Uro's technique for a thousand years and blasted her with a prematurely detonated Uzumaki.
• Takako Uro opened her domain, but Kenjaku's Open Domain shattered it from outside and crushed her with gravity.
• Kenjaku demanded to know who had taken Takako Uro out of the barrier, but she refused to answer.
• Jie Jian struck Kenjaku into the ground with a lightning-fast attack, freeing Takako Uro from the gravitational pressure.
• Takako Uro protested that she had not asked Jie Jian for help, and he mocked her for being so pathetic.

Jie Jian and the resurrected sorcerers cornered Kenjaku, while Angel helped create an opening for Jie Jian to kill him. At the Tombs of the Star Corridor, Tengen discovered that Prison Realm had opened and concluded that Satoru Gojo had been released.

• Jie Jian pulled Takako Uro out of Kenjaku's domain, then faced Kenjaku alongside Ryu Ishigori and Hajime Kashimo.
• Angel attacked Kenjaku with Jacob's Ladder, and Jie Jian struck him down when he tried to use his domain.
• Uraume fled after seeing Jie Jian turn into lightning and resist the domain's gravity.
• Tengen sensed a change in Prison Realm, took it out, and found it unsealed, confirming that Satoru Gojo had been released.

Jie Jian and the others defeated Kenjaku and Uraume, then Angel used Jacob’s Ladder to free Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm. Gojo learned he had been sealed for about five days and asked to bury Suguru Geto before hearing why they had unsealed him.

• Jie Jian’s group defeated Kenjaku and Uraume, and Angel destroyed the three Sukuna fingers with Jacob’s Ladder.
• Jie Jian took the Prison Realm and Suguru Geto’s body to a secluded mountain valley so Angel could release Satoru Gojo safely.

• Jie Jian told Gojo that he had been sealed for around five days and explained that he had killed Kenjaku by smashing his head.
• Gojo picked up Suguru Geto’s body and asked Jie Jian to wait while he buried him.

After returning from buying sweets, Satoru Gojo agreed to hide his resurrection and follow Jie Jian’s plan to ambush Sukuna during “Enchain.” The group then visited Tengen at the Tomb of the Star to ask for help concealing Gojo’s return, and Tengen asked what brought them there.

• Satoru Gojo returned after a two-and-a-half-hour detour to buy Kikusuian sweets and said he had not contacted anyone in Jujutsu Society.
• Jie Jian told Satoru Gojo about Sukuna’s “Enchain” with Yuji Itadori and asked him to keep his resurrection secret until their planned ambush.
• Satoru Gojo agreed to stay hidden as long as his students were not in danger, declaring that he never lost.
• Jie Jian and the others entered the Tomb of the Star with Satoru Gojo and met Tengen in the Main Hall.
• Tengen identified the visitors, called Jie Jian a sorcerer of unknown origin, apologized to Takako Uro, and asked why they had come.
