On November 20, 2018, Kasumi Miwa realized she had been resurrected on the date of her previous resurrection and asked Jie Jian to reveal his strength so she could rejoin Jujutsu High's Sukuna Slayers. Jie Jian instead planned for her to leave Jujutsu High and fight Sukuna alone at full strength, promising to train her enough in the month before the battle.

• Kasumi Miwa woke during Jujutsu High's strategy meeting, ran to the training field, and celebrated her resurrection with Jie Jian.

• Kasumi Miwa traveled to Tokyo No. 1 Colony, where she recalled her failure to stop Kenjaku during the Shibuya Incident and Jie Jian encouraged her.

• Jie Jian fired Crescent Moon Skychaser from the forest, destroying the centipede-shaped cursed spirit and splitting Kenjaku’s flying fish cursed spirit in half.

Sukuna and Satoru Gojo learned that Kenjaku had died after a new Culling Game rule preserved his plan. Gojo’s investigators traced Kenjaku’s last known activity to Sendai and spotted Kasumi Miwa nearby, but Gojo dismissed the idea that she was involved.
