And so, Sukuna made his move!
But he didn't attack Uzumaki Gamu. He charged straight at Yuji Itadori instead-hey, were you treating Uzumaki Gamu standing right there as thin air?
Of course not. As Sukuna charged, he shouted, "Uraume, stop him!!"
Sukuna's devoted, bob-haired subordinate immediately appeared and launched a desperate attack at Uzumaki Gamu with her specialty: an ice technique!

"Hmph. The duel hadn't started yet. Why couldn't I have someone interfere? Besides, I was only reclaiming my own power!" Sukuna said with a
