Yuki Tsukumo met Jie Jian and realized his reckless fighting came from indifference to his own life, which angered her because she believed life was precious. Jie Jian's remark that he would apologize to the person who gave birth to him after returning to another world left Yuki stunned.

• Yuki Tsukumo investigated Jie Jian after learning he had helped defeat Kenjaku and Sukuna, but found no trace of his past.
• During their spar, Yuki recognized that Jie Jian would risk dying even when he knew he could not stop an attack, and Satoru Gojo called him another problem student.
