Chapter Summaries

Jie Jian arrived too late to save Satoru Gojo, whom Fushiguro Shinbi had killed while attacking Riko Amanai. Suguru Geto summoned her cursed spirits and prepared to use Cursed Spirit Manipulation’s final move to avenge Satoru.

• Jie Jian waited at the foot of Jujutsu High until his system notified him that Satoru Gojo had died.
• Fushiguro Shinbi killed Satoru Gojo and charged at Riko Amanai, while Misato Kuroi stepped in to protect her.
• Jie Jian crashed into Fushiguro Shinbi’s path and recognized her as one of the world’s female leads.
• Suguru Geto asked Jie Jian why he had come, then summoned cursed spirits and declared that she would avenge Satoru Gojo.
• Suguru Geto said she no longer cared about right or wrong and announced her final move, Great Unity of Heaven and Earth.

After Satoru Gojo's death, Suguru Geto revealed that she had grasped the core of Cursed Spirit Manipulation and could combine the cursed energy of every spirit she controlled. Her unleashed power overwhelmed even Jie Jian, while Fushiguro Shinbi, Riko Amanai, and Misato Kuroi remained caught in the danger around her.

• Fushiguro Shinbi slipped through Suguru Geto's cursed spirits and tried to stab her, but Rainbow Dragon emerged from the ground and carried Shinbi into the sky.

• Suguru Geto released her immense cursed energy, darkening the mountain and weakening even the lightning around Jie Jian.
• Jie Jian realized Suguru Geto's cursed energy surpassed his own and questioned what kind of core she had attained.

Suguru Geto revealed that her grasp of Cursed Spirit Manipulation let her connect the cursed energy of the spirits she controlled and use their techniques, while another core let her treat jujutsu sorcerers as cursed spirits. She tried to absorb Jie Jian, whose resistance left their confrontation unresolved.

• Jie Jian answered that ordinary people would see both cursed spirits and jujutsu sorcerers as inhuman, prompting Suguru Geto to agree that sorcerers were monsters she could control.
• Suguru Geto used her newly awakened ability to pull Jie Jian toward her, and he resisted by bracing himself.
• Jie Jian realized Suguru Geto's immense linked cursed energy could trigger Cursed Spirit Manipulation's unconditional absorption, putting him at a disadvantage.

• Jie Jian learned he could choose a later rewind point, then vanished from Satoru Gojo’s beach.
• Tomoya Aki spotted Fushiguro Shinbi on an Okinawa street while worrying about where to stay that night.
• Jie Jian electrocuted a man who was secretly photographing Tomoya Aki and destroyed the man’s phone.
• Jie Jian decided Tomoya Aki was better off remaining an ordinary girl and set out to find Fushiguro Shinbi.
• Jie Jian confronted Fushiguro Shinbi in a secluded alley and offered her double pay to drop the contract on Riko Amanai.

Jie Jian defeated Fushiguro Shinbi in an alley but was unsure how to stop her assassination mission against Riko Amanai. Fushiguro Keiko arrived and summoned Mahoraga, leaving Jie Jian stunned.

• Jie Jian toyed with Fushiguro Shinbi before blasting her through a brick wall with lightning.
• Jie Jian wondered how to make Fushiguro Shinbi abandon her mission to assassinate Riko Amanai.
• Fushiguro Keiko appeared at the alley entrance and demanded that Jie Jian let her mommy go.
• The system identified Fushiguro Keiko as a designated heroine, and Jie Jian realized she was only about six years old.
• Fushiguro Shinbi warned Keiko not to use her technique, but Keiko chanted “Furube... Yura Yura” and summoned Mahoraga.

Akuta protected Keiko Fushiguro from the Mahoraga she summoned and lured the Shikigami high above the town to keep civilians safe. He destroyed Mahoraga with a massive lightning attack, leaving Jinmi Fushiguro and Keiko stunned by his power.

• Keiko Fushiguro summoned Mahoraga, and Akuta blocked its first strike before carrying her away from the fight.
• Akuta sent Keiko Fushiguro back to Jinmi Fushiguro and promised to defeat Mahoraga.
• Akuta drew Mahoraga into the sky, keeping the fight away from homes and passersby.
• Akuta blasted through Mahoraga with a pillar of lightning, killing it as its body fell toward the ground.
• Jinmi Fushiguro and Keiko watched Akuta hovering in the air, and Jinmi wondered who he was.

Akuta learned that Keiko Fushiguro had late-stage brain cancer and that Jinmi Fushiguro was pursuing an assassination mission to secure treatment for her daughter. After Jinmi described the sorcerer who promised to cure Keiko, Akuta suspected Mahito, then seized on an odd detail about the healed patient’s forehead.

• A doctor told Jinmi that Keiko’s condition had worsened and that there was little hope of saving her.
• Akuta arrived at the hospital and learned that Keiko had been ill since birth and that Jinmi had taken dangerous jobs to pay her medical bills.
• Jinmi told Akuta that she would not abandon the assassination mission because the sorcerer who assigned it had promised to treat Keiko.
• Akuta suspected the sorcerer might be Mahito after Jinmi said his Cursed Technique acted directly on the brain.
• Jinmi insisted she had verified that the sorcerer cured a patient, mentioning stitches on the patient’s forehead, and Akuta questioned what she meant.

Akuta warned Jinmi Fushiguro that the stitched patient she thought had been cured was actually Kenjaku, an ancient sorcerer who had taken over the patient's body. After Jinmi fled in anguish, Keiko woke and confronted Akuta, who reminded her that he had saved her from Mahoraga.

• Akuta recognized the stitched forehead as evidence of Kenjaku's Brain Swap and warned Jinmi that treatment would leave Keiko with another person's memories and Cursed Techniques.
• Akuta explained that Kenjaku could replace his brain with someone else's, leaving the original body's appearance and memories intact.
• Jinmi realized that Kenjaku's treatment would take over Keiko's body, broke down in tears, and stumbled away from the hospital room.
• Keiko woke and called for her mother, then became alarmed when Akuta entered the room.
• Akuta told Keiko that he had protected her from Mahoraga, and she reluctantly considered that he might not be entirely bad.

Keiko Fushiguro spoke with Akuta while recovering in the hospital, and Jinmi Fushiguro returned to her bedside. Keiko’s condition suddenly worsened, and the doctor warned that she might not survive.

• Akuta told Keiko that Jinmi had gone to the bathroom, and Keiko asked him about the lightning pillar and why she had summoned Mahoraga.
• Keiko explained that she had summoned Mahoraga because she feared Akuta would hurt her mother, and Akuta apologized.
• Jinmi returned to Keiko’s room and hid that she had been crying, then told Keiko she had been delayed by an upset stomach.
• Keiko developed a severe headache, and Jinmi called for a doctor.
• The doctor examined Keiko and told Jinmi that her condition had worsened and she might not survive.

Keiko Fushiguro died in the hospital while comforting her grieving mother, Jinmi Fushiguro. Akuta then used his Domain Expansion to reconstruct Keiko's body and eliminate her cancer, leaving Jinmi stunned as her daughter woke up alive.

• Keiko reassured Jinmi that she did not blame her for her illness, while Jinmi apologized for failing to save her.
• Keiko's heartbeat stopped, and Jinmi broke down as she held her daughter's hand.
• Akuta cast Domain Expansion, Divine Might Thunderous Altar, and caused Keiko's body to briefly turn into pale violet plasma before restoring it.
• Keiko sat up alive and asked Jinmi why she was crying, while the monitor showed her heartbeat had returned.
• Jinmi demanded to know what Akuta had done, and he explained that he had rebuilt Keiko's body and removed her cancer cells.

Jinmi Fushiguro refused the hospital’s request to subject Keiko to further research after doctors confirmed her brain cancer had vanished. As Jinmi and Keiko left the hospital, they invited Akuta to share a meal at their home.

• The doctor confirmed that Keiko Fushiguro’s brain cancer had completely disappeared and urged Jinmi Fushiguro to agree to extensive examinations.
• Jinmi Fushiguro refused further tests, fearing Keiko would become a research subject, and carried her out of the hospital.
• Jinmi thanked Akuta for saving Keiko, and he said he had wanted to prevent her from dying.
• Keiko said she was hungry and asked Jinmi if she could eat meat and hamburger steak now that she had recovered.
• Keiko invited Akuta to dinner, and Jinmi asked him to come to their home as a heartfelt token of gratitude.

Akuta joined Jinmi Fushiguro and Keiko for dinner after Keiko recovered, and learned that Jinmi was widowed and raising Keiko alone. He reassured Jinmi that Kenjaku was unlikely to target them, then modestly described his record against Kenjaku.

• Keiko persuaded Akuta to come home with her and Jinmi, and the three walked back together while she listed the food she wanted.
• Jinmi explained that their Okinawa apartment was a short-term rental and that her husband had died of kidney disease, leaving her to care for Keiko alone.
• Akuta wondered how the changed Fushiguro family might affect future events, including Sukuna's choice of a body.
• Jinmi made a mostly vegetable dinner for Keiko, and Akuta sided with her when she complained about the food.
• Jinmi asked whether Kenjaku might come after them if she withdrew from the mission, and Akuta reassured her before telling Keiko he had fought Kenjaku several times and rated their odds thirty-seventy.

After Akuta defeated Mahoraga, news of the battle spread through Okinawa while Satoko Gojo and Suguru Geto discussed Riko Amanai’s planned assimilation with Tengen. Satoko refused to sacrifice Riko, and Suguru agreed to help her challenge the plan the next day.

• Akuta finished dinner with Keiko, while Jinmi Fushiguro worried that even Akuta had given himself only thirty-seventy odds against an ancient opponent.
• News of Akuta’s defeat of Mahoraga began spreading among the Jujutsu Sorcerers and Curse Users in Okinawa.
• At the hotel, Satoko Gojo and Suguru Geto discussed taking Riko Amanai to Tengen for assimilation, and Satoko argued that it was unfair to sacrifice the girl for Jujutsu Society.
• Suguru Geto agreed to join Satoko in asking the principal to prevent Riko’s assimilation and to take responsibility with her if the barriers became unstable.
• Satoko and Suguru decided to give Riko another day of fun before confronting Tengen.

After dinner at Jinmi Fushiguro’s home, Akuta struggled to find a place to stay while he worked on resolving people’s problems in Okinawa. Jinmi and Keiko persuaded him to move into their spare room, leaving him wondering if he was now living with a married woman.

• Akuta stayed after dinner when Keiko begged him to play longer, and Jinmi offered to make tea.
• Jinmi asked for Akuta’s contact information and where he lived, but he said he had no phone and nowhere he could call home.
• Jinmi offered Akuta the spare room so he could keep Keiko safe while she was out, and Keiko pleaded with him to accept.
• Akuta agreed to stay with Jinmi and Keiko until he left Okinawa, and Jinmi began preparing the guest room.

• Ogi Zenin reported to Naobito Zenin that Mahoraga had appeared in Okinawa and that its summoner was not a Zenin Clan member.
• Ogi told Naobito that an unidentified young man had blasted Mahoraga apart with a pillar of lightning.
