Chapter Summaries

Kinoshita was transported to a Jujutsu Kaisen world after provoking Sukuna online and learned he could draw cursed techniques after dying. He chose to enter the Shibuya Incident, where he would face Sukuna with nine revivals and no abilities yet.

• Kinoshita posted inflammatory comments about Itadori, Sukuna, and Gojo, then accepted a challenge to fight Sukuna himself.
• A system transported Kinoshita to the Sukuna-Battling Continent and showed that he had faint cursed energy, no technique, and an assessment that made him potential stock for Mahito.
• The system explained that Kinoshita could draw any cursed technique after each death and had nine revivals.
• Kinoshita considered three dates for his challenge and chose October 31, 2018, during the Shibuya Incident.
• Kinoshita selected the date and began teleporting to the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

Kinoshita teleported into Megumi Fushiguro’s battle with Mahoraga, died when Sukuna’s slash crushed him, and was sent back by the system. He reappeared in Shibuya and warned Yuji Itadori about Choso, claiming he could get through the encounter unharmed.

• Kinoshita arrived in the middle of Megumi Fushiguro summoning Mahoraga and fled as Sukuna began fighting the shikigami.
• Sukuna’s slash split a building, and falling rubble crushed Kinoshita, who received a small increase in talent and cursed energy before using one of his eight rewinds.
• Kinoshita teleported to a Shibuya station at 22:04 and met Yuji Itadori after he broke the Curtain.
• Kinoshita told Itadori about his history and warned him that Choso, the eldest of the Death Painting Wombs, awaited him below.
• Itadori urged Kinoshita to leave the station, but Kinoshita claimed he had a way to handle the encounter without taking damage.

Kinoshita tried to stop Choso and Itadori from fighting by revealing that Kenjaku was responsible for their origins and that they were brothers. Choso hesitated and asked Itadori about his objective, but then gathered blood again to attack.

• Choso attacked Itadori with Piercing Blood, but Itadori dodged with only a graze after Kinoshita distracted Choso.
• Kinoshita told Choso that he and Itadori were brothers, claiming Kenjaku had created Choso and his brothers and that Itadori's mother had also been Kenjaku.
• Choso questioned Kinoshita's claims while Itadori admitted to killing Choso's brothers and offered to face him.
• Kinoshita urged Choso to confront Suguru Geto first and consider his responsibility as an older brother.
• Choso lowered his arms and asked Itadori's objective; after Itadori said he wanted to protect the ordinary people in the station, Choso gathered blood across his nose again.

Kinoshita convinced Itadori and Choso to avoid Jogo and Sukuna’s fingers while they made their way out of the station. Outside, Nanako and Mimiko ambushed them and tried to force a finger on Itadori, leaving the confrontation unresolved as Nanako repeatedly used her phone.

• Choso stopped his Piercing Blood attack after Kinoshita defended his knowledge of Choso’s younger brother.
• Kinoshita warned Itadori and Choso that Jogo was hunting Itadori with ten of Sukuna’s fingers, and they agreed to head upward instead of rushing into danger.
• Nanako and Mimiko blocked the group outside the station, with Nanako using her phone to pull Itadori between them and Mimiko strangling him with her doll.
• Itadori broke Mimiko’s control by smashing the floor, but Nanako ordered Mimiko to throw Sukuna’s Finger as her phone’s shutter clicked repeatedly.

Choso recognized Yuji Itadori as his younger brother and saved him from Nanako and Mimiko, who had briefly made him feel as though he were dying. After Yuji ate another Sukuna's Finger, an unseen attacker suddenly severed Choso's arm, and Yuji suspected Fushiguro.

• Nanako used Sukuna's Finger to incapacitate Yuji, but Choso sensed his brother's apparent death and attacked her with Piercing Blood.
• Choso declared himself Yuji's big brother, while Yuji knocked Nanako down and took the finger; Mimiko and Nanako fled.
• Yuji ate his fifth finger, and he, Choso, and Kinoshita decided to find their allies and the person who had kidnapped Satoru Gojo.
• Yuji told Choso that he had killed Choso's younger brothers, and Choso forgave him, blaming Kenjaku and himself.
• An unseen attacker severed Choso's right arm and vanished; Yuji wondered if the attacker was Fushiguro.

Toji Fushiguro attacked Itadori and Choso, forcing them to team up against his overwhelming speed and physical strength. After Kinoshita explained Toji’s history and resurrection, Itadori and Choso were left confused by his account.

• Toji arrived and attacked Itadori while Choso recovered his severed arm.
• Choso used Supernova to blast Toji away, and Itadori followed up with Black Flash.
• Toji dodged Choso’s Piercing Blood by staying close to Itadori, then overwhelmed both brothers with Playful Cloud.
• Toji pierced Choso’s chest, but Blood Armor protected his heart, and Itadori knocked Toji away.
• Kinoshita told Itadori and Choso that Toji was Megumi Fushiguro’s father, had killed Satoru Gojo, and had returned through Impure World Reincarnation.

Kinoshita urged Itadori and Choso to draw Toji toward the distant clash, where Jogo was fighting Mahoraga. As Jogo’s attack brought down a meteor, Kinoshita was crushed, then received rewards for his actions.

• Kinoshita told Itadori and Choso to lure Toji toward the scorching battle, while Choso used blood made from cursed energy to trap Toji and help them escape.
• Choso fired one last Piercing Blood at Toji, but Toji dodged it and pursued Itadori and Choso as Kinoshita ran toward the battle.
• Kinoshita saw Jogo’s Domain Expansion shatter and recognized Mahoraga as Jogo’s opponent.
• Mahoraga adapted to Jogo’s attacks, and Jogo unleashed Maximum: Meteor as Kinoshita watched nearby.
• A utility pole crushed Kinoshita in the aftermath, and he received improved talent, increased cursed energy, three lottery draws, and three rollbacks.

Kinoshita used three draws to obtain the Construction Technique and rushed into Shibuya to test it. He teamed up with Kugisaki against Mahito’s double, then created deadly substances as Mahito tried to engulf him.

• Kinoshita drew massive cursed energy, massive combat experience, and the Construction Technique, raising his cursed energy to Semi-Grade 1.
• Kinoshita encountered Kugisaki, boasted that he was invincible without Sukuna around, and fled when she threatened him.
• Kinoshita led Kugisaki to Mahito’s double and explained that it could not use Idle Transfiguration or transfigured humans.
• Kinoshita attacked Mahito with a constructed metal arm while Mahito blocked and transformed his body into soft springs.
• As Mahito tried to engulf him, Kinoshita used Construction Technique to create anthrax spores, toxins, and radioactive materials.

Kinoshita and Kugisaki attacked Mahito with lethal toxins, Resonance, and improvised weapons while Itadori fought Mahito’s original body. Mahito unleashed a mass of transfigured humans, swallowed Kinoshita with a giant Train Transfigured Human, and forced the battle up to the surface.

• Kinoshita trapped Mahito in liquid metal and flooded it with lethal toxins, while Kugisaki challenged his claims about Jujutsu High.
• Mahito broke through the metal sphere, but Kugisaki struck his soul with Resonance and Kinoshita helped Itadori attack his original body.
• Kinoshita blinded Mahito with a flashbang, and Itadori joined him in fighting Mahito and the transfigured humans.
• Mahito unleashed Polymorphic Soul Isomer and a giant Train Transfigured Human swallowed Kinoshita.
• Mahito’s transfigured humans overwhelmed the station and drove the fight up to the surface.

Mahito tried to kill Kugisaki and overpower Itadori and Todo, but Todo arrived in time to rescue her. As Mahito opened his domain, the battered Kinoshita fell from the sky and unleashed Cursed Technique Deconstruction.

• Mahito sent Kinoshita flying with a Multi-Soul Aberrant Body, then lured Itadori toward his double and Kugisaki.
• Todo arrived just before Mahito could touch Kugisaki, and joined Itadori and Kugisaki in attacking him.
• Mahito used another Multi-Soul Aberrant Body and Black Flash to injure Todo, then began expanding Self-Embodiment of Perfection.
• Kinoshita, having recovered with Reverse Cursed Technique, plummeted toward Mahito and activated Cursed Technique Deconstruction.

Kinoshita discovered Cursed Technique Deconstruction and used it to damage Mahito’s soul, but exhaustion left Itadori and Todo to keep fighting. Mahito transformed into his ultimate form, and Todo joined the battle with a Black Flash.

• Kinoshita used Reverse Cursed Technique to awaken Cursed Technique Deconstruction and nearly destroyed part of Mahito’s soul before Mahito kicked him away.
• Kinoshita stopped his severed arm from bleeding but collapsed from exhaustion as Itadori protected him and Todo questioned how he had learned Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Mahito transformed into Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing, and Itadori and Todo attacked him together.
• Todo asked Kinoshita what kind of women he liked, and Kinoshita encouraged Todo not to give up on confessing to Takada-chan.
• Todo regained his resolve, used Boogie Woogie to help attack Mahito, and struck him with a Black Flash.

Kinoshita and the others tried to stop Kenjaku from taking Mahito, but Kenjaku captured him with Cursed Spirit Manipulation and unleashed his open domain. Yuki Tsukumo arrived to confront Kenjaku, while Uraume attacked her and Todo moved to intervene.

• Todo landed a Black Flash that severely damaged Mahito, and Kinoshita rushed in to finish him.
• Kenjaku stopped Kinoshita, then knocked away Kinoshita and Miwa as Todo and Itadori tried to protect Mahito and reach Gojo.
• Kenjaku expanded his open domain, forcing the assembled sorcerers to retreat while Kusakabe used Simple Domain to counter its sure-hit effect.
• Kenjaku captured Mahito with Maximum: Uzumaki, and Choso arrived demanding revenge for his younger brother.
• Yuki Tsukumo confronted Kenjaku, and Uraume attacked her with Ice Formation: Frost Calm as Todo activated Boogie Woogie.

Yuki Tsukumo trapped Uraume in her domain and nearly killed him, but Kenjaku broke the domain and began activating Idle Transfiguration across Japan. Kinoshita explained Kenjaku’s plan as cursed spirits poured out, leaving the Culling Game on the verge of beginning.

• Yuki Tsukumo used Domain Expansion: Vaulting Firmament, Cosmic Star Abyss to trap Uraume, while Uraume's Ice Formation froze most of the others outside.
• Todo rescued the frozen Jujutsu High group, and Kinoshita watched Kenjaku prepare to launch the Culling Game.
• Inside her domain, Yuki Tsukumo used Garuda and Star Rage to shatter Uraume's defenses and blast apart half his body.
• Kenjaku broke Yuki Tsukumo's domain and began using Idle Transfiguration to alter people across Japan, while Uraume survived with Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Kinoshita told Yuki Tsukumo about Kenjaku's plan and the Culling Game as Kenjaku summoned countless cursed spirits.

After the Culling Game began, Kinoshita entered what he believed was Tokyo No. 1 Colony but accidentally landed in Sendai, where he rescued a girl from Kurourushi’s cockroaches. He hid with her after distracting the swarm with constructed pork, then began to form a new plan.

• Kinoshita studied the colonies and chose one he thought was Tokyo No. 1, avoiding the strongest fighters and the dangers he expected elsewhere.
• Kinoshita entered the barrier, used Construction Technique to make a parachute, and landed safely before rushing toward cries for help.
• Kinoshita found a girl surrounded by giant cockroaches and carried her away, but learned that she was in Sendai Colony.
• Kinoshita used Construction Technique to create pork and pigs, distracting Kurourushi’s cockroaches long enough to escape with the girl.
• Kinoshita sheltered the girl and, after realizing Kurourushi had encountered Dhruv Lakdawalla, suddenly came up with an idea.

Kinoshita protected a growing group of ordinary survivors in the Sendai Colony while preparing a pesticide-based plan to defeat Kurourushi. On November 10, a battle began in the east, and Kinoshita set out as a voice remarked that Sendai’s balance had been built around five people.

• Kinoshita made insecticide ingredients and potatoes with his Construction Technique, then sent survivors to distribute the potatoes around the colony.
• Kinoshita judged that he could not beat Kurourushi alone, but hoped to turn a prepared showdown in his favor while the four kings continued their on-and-off clashes.
• On November 10, a crash sounded to the east, and Kinoshita suspected Yuta Okkotsu had entered the colony early and was fighting Dhruv Lakdawalla.
• Kinoshita reassured the survivors that he was going out to eliminate cursed spirits, while they begged him to let them help and keep protecting them.
• As Kinoshita prepared to leave, an unseen voice said that the balance in the Sendai Colony had been built around five people.

Kinoshita met Yuta Okkotsu in Sendai and joined him in leaving the civilians behind to face Kurourushi, while warning him about Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro. As Okkotsu and Rika battled the regenerating cursed spirit, Kinoshita laughed, seemingly ready to use his Construction Technique.

• Kinoshita introduced himself to Okkotsu and explained that he had protected the civilians gathered nearby.
• Kinoshita and Okkotsu left the civilians and headed to an open area after Kinoshita warned that Kurourushi would wake up following Dhruv Lakdawalla's defeat.
• Kinoshita described Ryu Ishigori's and Takako Uro's abilities and said they were waiting for Okkotsu to fight Kurourushi.
• Okkotsu summoned Rika and blasted a gap through Kurourushi's approaching cockroach tide.
• Kurourushi appeared with the Festering Life Sword and repeatedly regenerated after Okkotsu's attacks, while Kinoshita laughed.

Kinoshita revealed that he had poisoned the cockroaches across the Sendai Colony, causing Kurourushi to collapse, and then joined Okkotsu in fighting the remaining opponents. The battle split between Okkotsu and Ryu Ishigori and Kinoshita and Takako Uro, with Kinoshita dousing Takako Uro in fake blood that turned out to be shit.

• Kinoshita explained that Kurourushi had been poisoned after eating cockroaches that had consumed his poison, and Okkotsu praised his plan.
• Kinoshita finished off Kurourushi with the Festering Life Sword as the battlefield sky twitched, signaling that the remaining fighters were moving in.
• Okkotsu used Rika to ambush Takako Uro and punch her away, while Ryu Ishigori approached Okkotsu looking for a satisfying fight.
• Kinoshita challenged Takako Uro and claimed his technique created shit, prompting her to attack with Thin Ice Breaker.
• Kinoshita pretended to fire Piercing Blood, but his high-speed red-dyed water burst a balloon and showered Takako Uro with shit.

Kinoshita defeated Takako Uro and joined Yuta Okkotsu’s battle against Ryu Ishigori, disrupting Ishigori’s cursed energy cannon and helping Okkotsu gain the upper hand. After Ishigori trapped them in his domain, Okkotsu opened his own and blasted him away, leaving Kinoshita poised to finish him.

• Kinoshita splattered Takako Uro with a binding-vow-enhanced creation, forcing her to flee the fight for the restroom.
• Yuta Okkotsu and Ryu Ishigori battled fiercely, and Okkotsu used Reverse Cursed Technique and Rika to replenish his cursed energy before firing Pure Love Cannon.
• Kinoshita joined the battle and used alcohol disguised as Piercing Blood to dissolve Ishigori’s hair gel, temporarily disabling his cursed energy cannon.
• Kinoshita wounded Ishigori with the Festering Life Sword as Okkotsu prepared to attack, and Ishigori pulled them into his domain, Frostblast Discourse.
• Okkotsu countered with Authentic Mutual Love and used Cursed Speech with Rika’s help to disrupt Ishigori’s attacks before blasting him away.
• Kinoshita raised the Festering Life Sword and prepared to finish off Ishigori.

Kinoshita helped Okkotsu defeat Ishigori in Sendai, gathered points, and added a rule allowing players to enter and leave barriers freely. He then entered the Tokyo No. 1 Colony to find Itadori and Sukuna, but encountered Hajime Kashimo instead.

• Ishigori exhausted himself with Granita Impact, and Okkotsu asked him to transfer his points rather than kill him.
• Ishigori transferred his points to Okkotsu, and Kinoshita gave Okkotsu his own fifty points.
• Uro demanded that Kinoshita remove the filth from her body, then handed over her points in exchange for being cleaned.
• Okkotsu added a rule allowing all players to freely enter and leave the barriers.
• Kinoshita entered the Tokyo No. 1 Colony to search for Itadori and Sukuna, but ran into Hajime Kashimo and demanded to know where Sukuna was.

Hajime Kashimo arrived in the Tokyo No. 1 Colony searching for Sukuna, who was sealed inside Yuji Itadori, and confronted Kinoshita when he could not find him. After Kinoshita’s Faraday cage absorbed Kashimo’s lightning, Kashimo tore it open, and Kinoshita tried to appease him by sharing Sukuna’s plan to transfer his soul into Megumi Fushiguro.

• Kinoshita told Hajime Kashimo that Sukuna was sealed inside Yuji Itadori, and Kogane confirmed they were already in the Tokyo No. 1 Colony.
• Kinoshita provoked Kashimo by comparing him unfavorably to Sukuna, then explained Kashimo’s history and abilities.
• Kashimo attacked Kinoshita, but Kinoshita used the Faraday Cage to absorb the lightning from Kashimo’s strikes.
• Kashimo poured more lightning into the cage, then pulled open its metal shell when his attack failed.
• Kinoshita told Kashimo that Sukuna planned to transfer his soul into Megumi Fushiguro and insisted Kashimo would win.
