Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• Maki enters the Tokyo No. 1 Colony, expecting the Culling Game barrier to teleport her to a random location. Instead, she passes through it without being moved and can walk straight back out.
• She realizes the barrier cannot detect or affect her because she has zero cursed energy as a Heavenly Tyrant. After giving her guard a vague explanation, she re-enters and prepares to search for the fighters known as the “Tokyo Four Heavenly Kings.”
• Maki checks the cursed tool she brought from the Zenin family vault. Because Mai survived in this timeline, Maki does not possess the Soul-Devouring Blade she wielded in the original timeline.
• Elsewhere, Reggie continues pretending to be close friends with Ogi Zenin. He orders Remi to find food and drink rather than using his own technique to recreate food receipts.
• Reggie asks how Maki became head of the Zenin family despite Ogi’s claim that she lacks a cursed technique. To save face, Ogi falsely blames Yuta Okkotsu, claiming Maki used his status as a Special Grade Sorcerer to seize power.
• Reggie is alarmed by the mention of Yuta: he agreed to help Ogi, but not to fight a Special Grade sorcerer.

Character developments and interactions

• Maki demonstrates practical curiosity and confidence, quickly working out why the barrier has no effect on her. She also shows concern for her Zenin guard, assigning him a safe role outside the colony.
• The Zenin guard is deeply moved by Maki’s consideration, contrasting it with how the family’s former leaders treated him.
• Ogi protects his pride by inventing a story that makes Maki’s rise depend on Yuta rather than her own strength.
• Reggie and Ogi perform an exaggerated “brotherly” bond, though Reggie’s stinginess and Ogi’s self-serving lies reveal how hollow their alliance is.
• Remi recognizes Reggie’s hypocrisy but feels unable to challenge him openly.
• Reggie’s panic over Yuta exposes the limits of his willingness to support Ogi.

Significant themes

• Strength and identity: Maki’s zero cursed energy, normally treated as a disadvantage, lets her bypass the barrier’s rules.
• Care versus exploitation: Maki treats her guard with respect, while Reggie and Ogi use others—including Remi—for their own convenience.
• Pride and deception: Ogi would rather invent a story about Yuta than admit Maki defeated the Zenin family through her own ability.
• Fragile alliances: The pair’s comical displays of brotherhood conceal self-interest and fear.

Plot points and events

• Ogi Zenin tries to recruit Reggie’s group to help him challenge Yuta Okkotsu, who supports Ogi’s estranged daughter in the Zenin family.
• Reggie boasts that he has killed fifty-six Special Grade sorcerers. Ogi doubts the exact number but accepts that Reggie is exceptionally powerful, reasoning that Reggie’s team includes several Special Grade sorcerers.
• Reggie agrees to face Yuta despite having no intention of actually doing so; he wants to keep Ogi’s support and sees little risk in promising while Yuta is absent.
• Meanwhile, Remi returns from a lengthy search with food and beer. Resentful at being treated as a pack mule, she complains that the others stayed behind.
• Hearing footsteps, Remi hides. The newcomer is Maki, who has entered the Culling Game barrier searching for Reggie’s group. Maki spots Remi and orders her to come out.

Character developments and interactions

• Reggie uses bravado to persuade Ogi, exaggerating his strength and agreeing to a dangerous-sounding plan he does not intend to carry out.
• Ogi convinces himself that Reggie’s team is powerful enough to secure his ambitions, based on his observations of Iori’s Reverse Cursed Technique and the group’s apparent confidence.
• Remi is shown as resourceful but vulnerable: she survives by recognizing her limits, scavenges supplies, and hides rather than risk a confrontation.
• Maki enters the depleted barrier and quickly demonstrates her perceptiveness by finding Remi, who had hoped to remain unseen.
• Ogi and Reggie flatter and manipulate each other for their own purposes, while Remi’s resentment contrasts with the supposed camaraderie within Reggie’s group.

Significant themes

• Deception and self-interest: Reggie’s boast and promise, and Ogi’s convenient assumptions, conceal their real motives.
• Survival and adaptation: Remi relies on caution and scavenging in a largely emptied, dangerous barrier.
• Misjudging strength: Ogi constructs a confident picture of Reggie’s team from limited evidence, while Reggie’s claims go largely unchallenged.
• Gendered assumptions: Remi believes she can manipulate men but not women, shaping her fear when she sees Maki.

Plot points

• Maki confronts Remi, who pretends to be an ordinary, isolated survivor. Maki notices the holes in her story but says she has come to rescue people and lets Remi go.
• Remi recognizes Maki’s name from Ogi Zenin, then rushes back to Reggie and Ogi to warn them that Maki has entered the barrier.
• After Remi leaves, Maki reveals to Jie Jian that she recognized her and deliberately allowed her to escape so she could follow her to the others.
• Jie Jian admits he already knows where Reggie and the others are hiding, irritating Maki, and offers to lead her there.
• Remi reaches the apartment and blurts out the news. Ogi is briefly alarmed, but Reggie’s calm presence reassures him.

Character developments and interactions

• Maki is observant and strategic: she sees through Remi’s lies, uses her as a trail, and remains confident in her ability to handle the barrier’s occupants.
• Remi is nervous and deceptive, but her fear of Maki’s name drives her to warn Reggie and Ogi.
• Jie Jian recognizes Remi and teases Maki by revealing he could have saved her the search.
• Ogi reacts strongly to Maki’s arrival, then regains confidence by relying on Reggie.
• Reggie says little, but his composure reassures Ogi and reinforces his authority over the group.

Significant themes

• Deception and suspicion: Remi’s shifting explanations make Maki wary, while Maki conceals her true intentions.
• Confidence and perceived power: Maki and Reggie both project certainty, shaping how others respond to them.
• Manipulation and pursuit: Maki turns Remi’s escape into an opportunity to locate her allies.

Key plot points

• Reggie asks Remi whether Maki arrived alone. Learning that she came to scout, he assumes she will be easy to deal with because Yuta Okkotsu is not with her and she supposedly has no Cursed Technique.
• Ogi wants Maki dead so he can improve his chances of becoming head of the Zenin Family, but he also wants to avoid appearing unable to handle his own family affairs. He and Reggie trade elaborate offers to take responsibility.
• Ogi pretends his injured arm is no obstacle and insists on going himself. Reggie eventually agrees to accompany him, allowing Ogi to save face while expecting Reggie to do the fighting.
• As they leave, they spot Maki walking below. Her imposing build and presence surprise Reggie and visibly unsettle Ogi, who tries to explain her strength as a result of her status in the family.

Character developments and interactions

• Reggie is confident, calculating, and willing to indulge Ogi’s pride because he wants the Zenin Family’s backing. He underestimates Maki, but her appearance makes him reconsider his assumptions.
• Ogi is ambitious and cowardly beneath his formal posturing: he wants Maki eliminated but hopes Reggie will take the risk. Seeing Maki in person rattles him.
• Remi watches from the sidelines and takes the pair’s confidence as a sign they will win.
• Reggie and Ogi’s exaggerated politeness masks their shared desire to avoid personal risk and preserve appearances.

Significant themes

• Pride and hypocrisy: Ogi’s concern for family prestige conflicts with his willingness to outsource his daughter’s killing.
• Underestimation: Both men dismiss Maki based on their assumptions about her abilities, only to be confronted by her intimidating presence.
• Appearance versus reality: Their courteous brotherly exchange conceals self-interest, fear, and manipulation.

Key plot points and events

• Maki spots her father, Ogi Zenin, alongside Reggie and realizes that Ogi—and likely Jinichi and Naoya—helped arrange the Culling Game’s new rules by working with ancient sorcerers.
• She regrets not dealing with the senior Zenin members when she took over the family. At the time, she chose restraint and focused on the Culling Game, but now sees that her leniency left room for them to betray her.
• Jie Jian calls out Maki’s excuses, takes control of her body, and makes her hop twice. Ogi instinctively copies her and experiences the same strange surge of clarity and vitality.
• Reggie attacks Maki with his Maximum Technique, summoning a two-story house that crashes down on her. Believing her defeated, he turns to Ogi—only for Maki to emerge and nearly crush him with a powerful punch.

Character developments and interactions

• Maki shifts from regret and self-justification to action, though Jie Jian—not Maki—is controlling her body during the fight.
• Jie Jian is forceful and confrontational, blaming Maki’s earlier lack of decisiveness for the current crisis and taking control to correct it.
• Ogi appears ignorant of his daughter’s strength and is bewildered by both her hopping and Reggie’s attack. He unexpectedly imitates Maki’s movement.
• Reggie initially fears Maki enough to use a major attack, then grows overconfident when he thinks it worked. His instincts save him from her counterattack.
• Maki and Ogi’s brief, synchronized hopping creates an uncanny moment of connection, while Reggie reacts with bafflement.

Significant themes

• Consequences of restraint: Maki’s choice to avoid purging the Zenin elders left them free to undermine her.
• Accountability and self-deception: Jie Jian rejects Maki’s rationalizations and insists she face responsibility for her past decision.
• Hidden power and mistaken judgment: Reggie and Ogi underestimate the force behind Maki’s body, while the strange hopping hints at an unexplained source of strength or insight.

Plot points and events

• Jie Jian’s powerful strike causes the already-unstable apartment building to collapse. Reggie escapes the falling rubble, while Ogi emerges battered but apparently unsurprised by Jie Jian’s strength.
• Reggie realizes Ogi had misled him about Maki being an easy opponent, but they set aside their resentment and attack together.
• Jie Jian effortlessly blocks both men while casually singing, making clear that Reggie and Ogi are badly outmatched.
• Reggie claims he is preparing an ultimate move to persuade Ogi to hold Jie Jian off. In reality, he plans to escape rather than risk his life.
• Jie Jian catches Reggie from behind and breaks his spine with a punch. Reggie immediately begs Ogi for help.
• Ogi turns toward Reggie but is cut in half at the waist by Jie Jian. He dies propped upright by his sword.
• Reggie, still hoping Ogi can save him, discovers his death and curses him for having set him up. Jie Jian then runs Reggie over, ending the fight.

Character developments and interactions

• Reggie shifts from anger at Ogi’s deception to panic and self-preservation. His attempt to manipulate Ogi into buying him time backfires, and once injured he appeals to their sworn-brother bond.
• Ogi remains confident in his own strength and eager to reclaim his family position. He trusts Reggie’s promise of an ultimate move, but is killed before he can help him.
• Jie Jian dominates both opponents with ease, displaying overwhelming physical skill and composure. His casual singing contrasts sharply with the violence of the fight.
• Reggie and Ogi’s partnership is marked by mutual distrust: Ogi concealed how dangerous Maki was, while Reggie planned to abandon him. Their supposed brotherhood proves fragile under pressure.

Significant themes

• Deception and self-interest: Both men prioritize their own goals, and their alliance collapses when danger becomes immediate.
• Overconfidence and misjudgment: Ogi and Reggie underestimate Jie Jian, while Ogi’s confidence cannot compensate for the opponent’s superiority.
• Power and helplessness: The collapse of the building and the swift defeat of both fighters underscore Jie Jian’s overwhelming force.

• After the battle, Jie Jian returns control of Maki’s body to her. Maki surveys the destruction and sees that her father, Ogi Zenin, has been cut in half.
• Maki reflects on Ogi’s lifelong resentment toward her and Mai, but insists she feels no sadness. She puts away her sword and sets off to clear the remaining troublemakers in Tokyo No. 1 Colony.
• Jie Jian suggests they hurry to Sendai to help Yuta Okkotsu, but Maki trusts Yuta to handle himself. She instead asks Jie Jian about the song he was humming during the fight.
• Once Maki leaves, Iori Hazenoki emerges from beneath the rubble, having survived by hiding and relying on Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Hazenoki finds Reggie dead and rescues Remi from a collapsed wall. When Remi asks to follow him, he refuses, telling her to find shelter and wait for rescue.
• In Sendai, Naoya sees Ryu Ishigori preparing to challenge Yuta and another Special Grade sorcerer. Naoya hopes Ryu will kill Yuta, weakening Maki’s position and possibly clearing Naoya’s path to lead the Zenin Family. He offers Ryu information about Yuta, and Ryu recognizes that Naoya is trying to manipulate him.

Character developments and interactions

• Maki remains focused on her mission despite the personal weight of Ogi’s death. She rejects the idea that Yuta needs her help and moves forward with confidence.
• Jie Jian shows unusual concern for Maki, gently asking whether she is sad, and shares a lighter moment with her over the song.

• Remi is left grieving Reggie and desperate for protection.

• Ryu is excited by the prospect of fighting a powerful opponent, especially someone with Gojo’s legendary abilities.
• Naoya warns Ryu that Yuta can use Copy to access other cursed techniques and is accompanied by Rika, a special-grade curse.
• He adds that both Rika and Copy have been weakened since a past upheaval, and that Rika cannot be used for long. He advises Ryu to keep his distance from Yuta.
• Ryu accepts the information but is disappointed that Yuta may not be at full strength. He and Naoya set out to find a high position from which to prepare for Yuta’s arrival.

Character developments and interactions

• Naoya shows strategic intelligence: rather than asking Ryu to help him directly, he appeals to Ryu’s hunger for challenging fights. He also reveals his own fear and sense of inferiority toward Gojo.
• Ryu is portrayed as overwhelmingly battle-hungry, valuing a thrilling opponent even above a safer advantage. He is intrigued by Gojo but unimpressed by the prospect of fighting a weakened Yuta.
• Their interaction is a calculated alliance: Naoya supplies information and steers Ryu toward his goal, while Ryu agrees to cooperate on his own terms.

Significant themes

Key plot points

• After a rule change allowed free passage through Culling Game barriers, cursed spirits escaped and threatened nearby civilians.
• Yuta Okkotsu spent nearly a day clearing dangerous spirits before reaching Sendai, where he killed Kurourushi. The fight left him exhausted and badly battered.

• Encouraged by Yuta’s trust, the supervisor accepts the responsibility. Yuta then enters the colony while the supervisor rushes to protect the nearby district.

Character developments and interactions

• Yuta shows compassion and humility despite his exhaustion: he reassures the worried supervisor, explains the danger, and asks for help rather than simply issuing an order.
• The assistant supervisor moves from guilt and intimidation to confidence and determination. Yuta’s respectful request makes him feel recognized and inspires him to take action.
• Their exchange builds mutual trust: Yuta entrusts civilians’ safety to the supervisor, who vows not to let him down.

Significant themes

• Respect and recognition: Yuta treats support staff as capable partners, not disposable tools.
• Responsibility and courage: Both characters accept risks—Yuta enters the colony, while the supervisor takes charge of civilian safety.
• Trust as empowerment: Yuta’s faith in the supervisor gives him the resolve to act.

Plot points and events

• Yuta Okkotsu enters the Sendai Colony and is randomly teleported high into the air. He quickly surveys the ruined city and spots Dhruv Lakdawalla’s vast barrier, created by the paths of his shikigami.
• Before Yuta can approach Dhruv, Ryu Ishigori attacks him from a rooftop with a barrage of powerful Cursed Energy Cannons. Ryu has been waiting for Yuta and is eager to test him.
• Naoya, who led Ryu to expect Yuta, uses Projection Sorcery to flee so he won’t be implicated if Ryu loses.
• Yuta considers summoning Rika to escape, but hesitates because her full manifestation lasts only five minutes and he may need her later.
• Takako Uro intervenes, manipulating space to redirect the blasts. Yuta lands safely and recognizes her as one of Sendai’s strongest sorcerers.

Character developments and interactions

• Yuta remains calm and tactical under pressure, weighing the limited use of Rika rather than summoning her immediately. He is also embarrassed by Uro’s appearance and avoids looking directly at her.
• Ryu is aggressive and excited by the prospect of fighting Yuta, whom he has deliberately awaited.
• Uro unexpectedly saves Yuta, despite his belief that she resents the Fujiwara line. Her reference to him as a “Fujiwara Descendant” reveals that she knows his ancestry and hints at a complicated connection.
• Naoya acts opportunistically, provoking the confrontation but escaping to protect himself.

Significant themes

• Strategy and limited resources: Yuta must conserve Rika’s brief manifestation while facing an immediate threat.
• Uncertain alliances and inherited history: Uro’s intervention conflicts with Yuta’s assumptions about her grudge against his lineage.
• Power and confrontation: The colony’s strongest fighters are quickly drawn toward Yuta, making his arrival a catalyst for conflict.

• Takako Uro grew angry when Yuta Okkotsu avoided looking at her, and he offered her his jacket to cover herself.
• Takako Uro rejected Yuta Okkotsu's offer and told him to stand outside.
• Ryu Ishigori realized Naoya Zenin had likely pushed Takako Uro to side with Yuta Okkotsu, and declared he would beat them both.
• Ryu Ishigori fired dozens of Cursed Energy Cannons connected to his hair by streams of cursed energy, steering them toward Yuta Okkotsu and Takako Uro.
• Takako Uro used Sky Manipulation to bend the incoming blasts, but Ryu Ishigori redirected them toward her back.
• Takako Uro destroyed the redirected blasts with Ushura Bullet and shouted at Ryu Ishigori to go eat.

• Ryu welcomed the newcomers and challenged Yuta, Takako Uro, Rika, and Dhruv’s shikigami to fight.

Dhruv Lakdawalla’s shikigami and Inviolable Domain trapped Okkotsu, Takako Uro, and Ryu Ishigori in a chaotic battle across Sendai Colony. Okkotsu promised to defeat Dhruv while Uro held Ryu back, and Uro agreed after bargaining for a management position at Jujutsu Headquarters.

• Dhruv Lakdawalla shattered the fighters’ incomplete domains and sent pterosaurs and Giant-Toothed Monsters to attack as their paths spread his Inviolable Domain.
• Okkotsu dodged Ryu Ishigori’s Cursed Energy Cannon, but a pterosaur ambushed him until Rika killed it and rescued him.

Yuta Okkotsu raced to find Dhruv Lakdawalla, using Maki’s uncertain theory that the Inviolable Domain did not extend underground. With Rika drawing the shikigami away aboveground, Okkotsu reached the space beneath the gymnasium, where he believed Dhruv was hiding.

• Okkotsu left Takako Uro to hold off Ryu Ishigori while he raced through the ruins toward Dhruv Lakdawalla.
• Okkotsu recalled Maki’s unverified theory that Dhruv’s Inviolable Domain might not cover the sewers and decided to risk using them.
• Okkotsu told Rika to distract Dhruv’s shikigami, then jumped into a manhole and ran through the sewer toward the gymnasium.
• Rika attacked the shikigami aboveground while Takako Uro continued fighting Ryu Ishigori, who noticed Okkotsu was missing.
• Okkotsu tore free an iron grate and climbed into the equipment level beneath the gymnasium.

Okkotsu broke through Dhruv Lakdawalla’s Inviolable Domain and defeated him after fighting through his shikigami. With Rika’s time limit over and exhausted from the battle, Okkotsu headed to help Miss Uro.

• Okkotsu entered the gymnasium through an underground route and found Dhruv Lakdawalla surrounded by shikigami.
• Okkotsu fought through Dhruv Lakdawalla’s shikigami and destroyed a massive Giant-Toothed Monster.
• Okkotsu wounded Dhruv Lakdawalla, rejected his offer to work together, and killed him.
• Dhruv Lakdawalla’s shikigami vanished and the Inviolable Domain faded after his death.
• Okkotsu’s five minutes with Rika ended, and he set off to reach Miss Uro despite his exhaustion.

After Kurourushi revived outside the Sendai Colony, an assistant supervisor tried to contain it with a Curtain and binding vows that cost him his life. Just as the Curtain began to fail, a bolt of blue lightning struck the cockroach swarm, leaving the assistant supervisor unsure who had arrived.

• Kashimo burned the larvae with electricity, then used his bracer to channel lightning into Kurourushi.
• Kurourushi's body cracked and exploded, and the curse's remains evaporated.

Hajime Kashimo exorcised Kurourushi, spared the assistant manager, and entered the Sendai Colony in search of strong opponents. There, he sensed the ongoing battle between Takako Uro and Ryu Ishigori and hurried toward it.

• Hajime Kashimo dismissed Kurourushi's Rotting Life Blade after the curse was exorcised.
• The assistant manager confronted Kashimo to protect the people, and Kashimo left him unharmed before heading for the Sendai Colony.

• Kashimo entered the Sendai Colony, sensed powerful sorcerers fighting, and rushed toward the strongest concentration of cursed energy.

Hajime Kashimo arrived in the Sendai Colony and attacked Takako Uro, then challenged both her and Ryu Ishigori to fight him together. He used his electromagnetic cursed technique to counter their attacks, leaving the battle poised to continue.

• Ryu Ishigori stopped firing when he sensed an unfamiliar surge of cursed energy approaching, and a lightning bolt struck Takako Uro and sent her crashing through buildings.
