After Itadori’s grandfather died, Itadori swallowed Ryomen Sukuna’s finger during a fight with a curse, allowing Sukuna to take over his body. Jiahao arrived at the rooftop in a flashy entrance and confronted the danger, but Sukuna ignored him as Jiahao told Fushiguro to run.

Wang Jiahao arrived at Jujutsu High with Yuji Itadori and passed Principal Masamichi Yaga’s interview through sheer confidence and eccentricity. Yaga rejected Itadori for not being ready to risk his life as a sorcerer, while Jiahao’s question about the Broadcast Room left Fushiguro alarmed.

• Jiahao recognized that Itadori had grown stronger, then slapped him when Sukuna spoke through his cheek and called Sukuna a foot-soaked chicken claw.

• As Fushiguro led Jiahao away, Jiahao asked where the Broadcast Room was, and Fushiguro remembered their first meeting with dread.

Itadori and Kugisaki passed Satoru Gojo’s entrance test at an abandoned building in Roppongi while Jiahao bypassed a barrier to explore the Broadcast Room. The group reunited at an upscale restaurant, where Jiahao arrived in an outrageous Super Saiyan costume and drew everyone’s attention.

After returning from a mission overseas, Satoru Gojo learned that Sukuna had taken control of Itadori and that Jiahao had saved him but severed both his arms. Jiahao restored Itadori’s arms with a technique he called the Strength of a Hundred, then provoked the others into attacking him.

Jiahao spent 4,000 tycoon points to raise his cursed energy to Special Grade, then earned more points by releasing his power and fighting the students. As he continued beating them around the training ground, Yaga wondered whether Jiahao might soon surpass Satoru Gojo, who welcomed the prospect.

• Jiahao upgraded his cursed energy to Special Grade and discovered the next increase would cost 40,000 tycoon points.

• Jiahao woke to the noise, sensed Gojo and Jogo fighting, and went back to sleep rather than interrupt them.

After waking and adopting the persona of Kaneki Hao, Jiahao joined Itadori and Nanami on their way to investigate a suspected curse-related cinema incident. His casual claim that he was hungry alarmed the others when Itadori reminded them that Jiahao’s copied ghoul persona might crave human flesh, leaving Nanami ready to fight.

• Jiahao woke after more than thirty hours and introduced himself to Itadori and Nanami as Kaneki Hao, the white-haired version from Tokyo Ghoul.

• Nanami taught Itadori how to see cursed residue, and they followed the trail to the cinema rooftop while Jiahao tagged along eating snacks.

Jiahao rejected his promotion to Special Grade Sorcerer, dismissing the title and its burdens, then put his classmates through brutal training. He learned that Junpei Yoshino had been identified as a survivor in the Transfigured Human investigation and left his next move undecided.

• Yaga told Jiahao that Jujutsu Headquarters had officially promoted him to Special Grade, but Jiahao rejected the certification and returned the report.
• Jiahao called Itadori, learned that the cinema investigation had identified Junpei Yoshino as a survivor, and decided to wait until events reached a critical point before getting involved.

• Panda told the others that Jiahao had been offered Special Grade status and turned it down, startling them and earning Jiahao valor points.
• Jiahao teased the group with Nanami’s saying about finding more fallen hair on one’s pillow, prompting them to silently complain about his arrogance.

After skipping a week of training, Kaneki Hao was dispatched to help with the transfigured human mission, while Itadori confronted Mahito and Junpei at Satozakura High School. Sukuna refused to save Junpei, and Hao appeared as Mahito and Sukuna laughed at Itadori, then joined in laughing himself.
