Chapter Summaries

Satoru Gojo deduced that Suguru Geto would target Kyoto Jujutsu High and led the students there, while Aikawa Kaze suspected his reasoning was wrong. The group headed to Kyoto, leaving Aikawa worried that Geto would go somewhere else.

• Satoru Gojo questioned Aikawa Kaze about waiting at Tokyo Jujutsu High and reasoned that Suguru Geto would not attack it.
• Satoru Gojo concluded that Suguru Geto would target Kyoto Jujutsu High to reach the school, the old guard, and their cursed spirit stockpiles.

Aikawa Kaze and the Tokyo Jujutsu High students arrived at Kyoto Jujutsu High, where everyone waited for Suguru Geto, who was not coming. While Gojo and Utahime argued, Aikawa and Aoi Todo turned a question about their preferred women into an escalating contest of gender-swapped classmates, ending with Aikawa conceding defeat and admitting he liked good-looking people.

• Satoru Gojo brought Aikawa Kaze and the Tokyo Jujutsu High team to Kyoto Jujutsu High, where the students were already assembled and waiting for Suguru Geto.
• Aoi Todo asked Aikawa what kind of women he liked, and Aikawa praised several women while teasingly calling Utahime Iori an airheaded beauty.
• Aikawa tried to outdo Todo by imagining his male classmates as attractive women, including Panda, Toge, Yuta, and Satoru Gojo.
• Todo countered by describing Noritoshi Kamo and Mechamaru as gender-swapped women before volunteering himself as a muscular magical girl.
• Aikawa conceded that Todo was more ruthless and concluded that good looks mattered most to him.

Aikawa Kaze diverted the Kyoto students’ attention with a debate about attraction and Yuta Okkotsu’s devotion to Rika, buying time for Suguru Geto’s attack on Jujutsu Headquarters. After Gojo left to respond, Geto appeared inside Kyoto Jujutsu High, leaving Utahime and the students facing a Special Grade Sorcerer without him.

• Aikawa Kaze challenged Aoi Todo’s tastes, then introduced Rika as Yuta Okkotsu’s fiancée, and Todo praised Yuta’s unwavering love for her.
• The gathered students became absorbed in Yuta and Rika, while Aikawa Kaze used the distraction to conceal that he was stalling for Suguru Geto.
• When sunrise came and Geto had not appeared, Satoru Gojo confronted Aikawa Kaze, who hinted that Geto was attacking Jujutsu Headquarters first.
• Gojo understood the hint and vanished, while Aikawa Kaze warned the others to prepare for Geto to target a poorly defended location.
• A teleportation circle appeared inside Kyoto Jujutsu High, and Suguru Geto stepped out as Utahime Iori realized Gojo had already left.

Aikawa Kaze secretly helped Suguru Geto stage an attack on Kyoto Jujutsu High, where Yuta Okkotsu defeated Geto and broke his curse with Rika. Afterward, Kaze concealed how little he had been hurt and worried about Gojo Sensei, who had yet to return.

• Aikawa Kaze revealed that he had secretly shared his location with Suguru Geto and helped arrange for Geto to attack Kyoto Jujutsu High so Yuta Okkotsu could earn greater freedom.
• Suguru Geto attacked the school and defeated its teachers and students, while Aikawa Kaze pretended to be knocked out after protecting his classmates.
• Yuta Okkotsu healed the injured as he fought Suguru Geto, realized he had cursed Rika rather than the other way around, and broke the curse.
• Yuta Okkotsu defeated Geto, who retreated, and stayed behind to heal everyone instead of pursuing him.
• Aikawa Kaze gave Yuta Okkotsu an excuse for his apparent recovery, redirected his concern toward Gojo Sensei, and smeared dust on himself to look injured.

After Suguru Geto’s attack on Jujutsu Headquarters, Satoru Gojo confronted him about the plan and admitted he had protected the surviving higher-ups. Suguru Geto revealed he could repeat the attack to reshape the Jujutsu Higher-Ups, and Satoru offered to take him into Jujutsu High for treatment in exchange for a small “sacrifice.”

• Satoru Gojo realized Suguru Geto had attacked Jujutsu Headquarters after secretly changing his mind about killing the higher-ups.
• Satoru Gojo explained that he had rescued the surviving higher-ups and stayed with them instead of returning to Kyoto Jujutsu High.
• Suguru Geto said the attack had worked and that he could repeat it to keep pressure on the Jujutsu Higher-Ups until they were replaced.
• Satoru Gojo accepted Suguru Geto as he was, deciding that his strength would let him protect Geto.
• Suguru Geto asked about getting treatment from Shoko Ieiri, and Satoru Gojo offered to bring him into Jujutsu High in exchange for a tiny sacrifice.

Satoru Gojo received orders from the two surviving Jujutsu Higher-Ups to execute Suguru Geto, but negotiated political influence for his allies instead. He promised to hunt Geto, then returned to his safe house and found him disguised as a black fox.

• The two surviving elders sentenced Suguru Geto to death and ordered Satoru Gojo to carry out the execution immediately.
• Satoru Gojo challenged the elders to offer him something in return and persuaded them to help place common-born sorcerers and small-family sorcerers in positions at Jujutsu Headquarters.
• Satoru Gojo promised to return to school, check on the students, and hunt Suguru Geto, while assuring the elders he would make Geto suffer if he could not kill him.
• Satoru Gojo returned to his safe house and discovered that Suguru Geto had taken the form of a black fox instead of wearing the maid outfit.
• Satoru Gojo realized the fox could not use cursed energy and threatened to dress him up repeatedly and take him to see Shoko.

Maki, Toge, Panda, and Yuta secretly went to train after agreeing to rest, while Aikawa Kaze used the busy infirmary shift to plan the Spark Fire Cult’s next move. Kaze then sneaked to the infirmary hoping to find Suguru Geto, but instead witnessed Shoko Ieiri and Satoru Gojo examining a familiar black fox.

• Maki, Toge, Panda, and Yuta complained about their exhausting work in the temporary infirmary, and Kaze claimed his stamina came from his demanding training schedule.
• The first-years agreed in a group chat not to copy Kaze’s routine, but that night they all secretly went to the training grounds and discovered one another.
• Panda used [Doggie] to reveal that Toge had been bluffing with gibberish, and the others confronted him about it.
• Kaze planned to meet Geto and discuss the Spark Fire Cult’s next move, then crept toward the infirmary after hearing Gojo there.
• Gojo presented Shoko with a black fox wearing a pink bow, and Shoko examined the fox in a way that made Kaze suspect it was Geto.

Aikawa Kaze visited Shoko Ieiri to ask for recovery advice for his classmates and learned Reverse Cursed Technique during her impromptu demonstration. He successfully healed Shoko’s hand, and she planned to show off her teaching success to Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto the next day.

• Shoko Ieiri healed the fox-form Suguru Geto and sent Satoru Gojo hurrying out of the Infirmary when Aikawa Kaze arrived.
• Aikawa Kaze asked Shoko Ieiri to recommend recovery supplements and teach healthy training methods to his classmates, and she agreed.
• Shoko Ieiri gave Aikawa Kaze an unclear explanation of Reverse Cursed Technique, then let him experience its healing effect through a small cut.
• Aikawa Kaze recognized how Reverse Cursed Technique related to his summoning ability and learned to produce it after Shoko Ieiri slowed the healing.
• Shoko Ieiri cut her own hand to test Aikawa Kaze, and he healed her wound with Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Shoko Ieiri celebrated her teaching success and decided to show off to Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto the next day.

Aikawa Kaze demonstrated that he had learned Reverse Cursed Technique from Shoko Ieiri, leaving Satoru Gojo amazed and Suguru Geto embarrassed that he still could not use it. Kaze then presented Gojo with a reform plan for Jujutsu Society, intending to use outside pressure from Geto to force the conservative higher-ups to accept it.

• Aikawa Kaze told Panda, Maki, and Toge Inumaki that he would practice with Shoko Ieiri, so they persuaded Yuta Okkotsu to teach them Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Shoko Ieiri brought Kaze to Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, and Kaze healed the Black-Furred Fox's wound with Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Kaze repeated Shoko's absurdly vague instructions, astonishing Gojo and making Suguru Geto hide his face because he could not use the technique.
• Kaze gave Gojo a proposal to reform Jujutsu Society's working conditions, mission quotas, and leadership appointments.
• Kaze and Gojo planned to use Geto as an outside force to pressure the higher-ups, while Shoko questioned how the scheme could succeed.

Suguru Geto’s demands for reform won broad public support, while reports of his whereabouts confused Jujutsu Headquarters. Satoru Gojo defended Geto’s proposals at a meeting, leaving the conservatives suspecting the two had coordinated a power grab.

• Suguru Geto’s cursed spirits distributed flyers announcing the Time Vessel Association’s demands for better pay and time off, executive mission quotas, and a rank-and-yank system.
• People across the country reported false sightings of Suguru Geto, frustrating Jujutsu Headquarters’ search as it raised his bounty.
• Jujutsu Headquarters questioned Satoru Gojo, who claimed the reports were unreliable and voiced support for Geto’s demands.
• Satoru Gojo pressured the conservatives to take on missions and warned that Jujutsu Society had no use for dead weight.
• After Gojo left, the conservatives feared he and his longtime friend Suguru Geto had orchestrated the events together.

Yuta Okkotsu began teaching Maki and the others Reverse Cursed Technique, while Maki explored whether the Black Keys could help her find a path despite her incomplete Heavenly Restriction. After Megumi Fushiguro told Aikawa Kaze that Tsumiki had fallen into a coma, Kaze suspected Brain and decided Suguru Geto might make a useful spy.

• Yuta Okkotsu noticed that Maki was joining the lesson and questioned whether she could learn Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Maki explained that she could use a small amount of cursed energy to control the Black Keys and suspected their power might reflect other people's attributes.
• Aikawa Kaze considered Maki's difficult future if Mai survived and resolved to support her without forcing her to accept a Vision.
• Megumi Fushiguro told Aikawa Kaze that Tsumiki had fallen asleep and would not wake up.
• Aikawa Kaze reconsidered who might have caused Tsumiki's coma, suspected Brain, and thought Suguru Geto could work as a spy.

Aikawa Kaze investigated the mass curse affecting Tsumiki Fushiguro and failed to heal her with Reverse Cursed Technique. He suspected the victims were being kept alive for a larger plan and asked Satoru Gojo to help find a Holy Relic of Medea so her Rule Breaker could sever Tsumiki’s curse.

• Aikawa Kaze examined Tsumiki Fushiguro’s curse mark and reviewed documents about hundreds of similar victims across the country.
• Aikawa Kaze deduced that the earliest victims had been selected based on whether their families could care for them, and concluded the mastermind needed them alive for an unknown objective.
• Aikawa Kaze used Reverse Cursed Technique on Tsumiki, but it failed to wake her, and Megumi Fushiguro stopped him when his cursed energy ran low.
• Aikawa Kaze questioned whether Jujutsu Society’s decision to cover victims’ care costs had been deliberately manipulated, and Satoru Gojo agreed to investigate the higher-ups.
• Aikawa Kaze asked Satoru Gojo to find a Holy Relic of Medea, whose Rule Breaker could sever contracts, and Satoru Gojo told him not to summon her alone.

Aikawa Kaze failed to summon Medea and learned that his own misgivings might prevent the match, while Gojo investigated suspicious higher-ups as a possible route to curing Tsumiki. After Gojo and Megumi mistook Kaze’s riverside relaxation for a suicide attempt, Kaze found a new idea for dealing with the curse: nullifying the Contract through Resonance.

• Shoko Ieiri’s treatment failed, so Tsumiki was placed in a high-end hospital while Gojo took on missions and arranged for Geto to target unqualified higher-ups.
• Kaze repeatedly failed to summon Medea, then accepted Gojo’s theory that their incompatible beliefs and mutual disapproval were blocking the summoning.
• Gojo told Kaze he had found clues among higher-ups connected to Tsumiki’s treatment, and urged him to rest and help Megumi with his training injuries.
• Gojo privately told Megumi that Kaze was also hurting himself by repeatedly summoning Heroic Spirits, prompting Megumi to go talk with him.
• Kaze lay floating in a river to relax, but Gojo and Megumi rushed back and mistook him for someone attempting suicide.
• After explaining that he had been seeking inspiration, Kaze proposed using Resonance to nullify the Contract.

Aikawa Kaze received a Special Grade sorcerer ranking from the new higher-ups and obtained Osamu Dazai’s handwritten manuscript as a Holy Relic. Facing pressure to complete missions and avoid finishing last, he prepared to attempt a summoning, though he still wondered where and how to perform the ritual.

• Aikawa Kaze asked Satoru Gojo for an Osamu Dazai Holy Relic, but Gojo and Megumi Fushiguro mistook his interest for an unhealthy obsession and tried to distract him with books, anime, and animals.
• Aikawa Kaze learned that Jujutsu High’s busy missions had made it difficult for Yuta Okkotsu, Toge Inumaki, Maki, Panda, and the others to gather for lessons.
• Satoru Gojo gave Aikawa Kaze an updated student ID marked Special Grade and explained that the new higher-ups had approved the rank to win him over.
• Aikawa Kaze complained about the extra mission workload, then demanded the Dazai relic; Satoru Gojo handed him an original handwritten manuscript.
• Worried that he might finish last in Suguru Geto’s mission tally, Aikawa Kaze decided to get moving, but first considered summoning Boss Dazai somewhere scenic and trying to create a resonance.

Aikawa Kaze cleared up Panda’s belief that he had tried to kill himself and arranged for Panda to accompany Megumi Fushiguro on missions. Back at the Fushiguro home, Kaze revealed that Megumi was his older brother, then joined him for a lavish meal as Megumi threw away Kaze’s canned crab meat.

• Panda found Aikawa Kaze by the river and stopped him, believing he was about to kill himself after seeing a photo and hearing Satoru Gojo’s rumor.
• Aikawa Kaze explained that he had been improving his synchronization for summoning a Heroic Spirit, and Panda realized Satoru Gojo had misled him.
• Aikawa Kaze asked Panda to accompany Megumi Fushiguro on missions, then told Panda that Megumi was his older brother, though Kaze was younger by age.
• Aikawa Kaze and Panda returned to the Fushiguro home, where Kaze called Megumi his brother and eagerly anticipated the Chinese dishes he had prepared.
• Megumi Fushiguro served Aikawa Kaze a large hairy crab and said he had thrown away Kaze’s canned crab meat, prompting Kaze to postpone his summoning until Panda and Megumi were away.

Aikawa Kaze went to Grape Hill Middle School to clear out cursed spirits and summoned Osamu Dazai from another world, offering him Odasaku’s novel and supplies in exchange for a contract. Dazai remained wary until Kaze hinted that worlds could be upgraded, and the chapter ended with Kaze asking him to sign before revealing more.

• Aikawa Kaze said goodbye to Megumi Fushiguro and Panda, teasing Megumi by calling him his big brother.
• Aikawa Kaze traveled to the area behind Grape Hill Middle School, set up a curtain, and prepared a summoning circle with canned crab, bandages, and pages from Meoto Zenzai.
• Aikawa Kaze summoned Osamu Dazai and offered him Odasaku’s complete novel, supplies, and a contract in exchange for his power.
• Osamu Dazai reacted with wariness and fear, so Aikawa Kaze explained that he wanted to borrow Dazai’s power rather than harm his world.
• Aikawa Kaze suggested that Dazai’s world could be destroyed and revealed that worlds could be upgraded, then asked Dazai to sign the contract to learn more.

Aikawa Kaze persuaded Boss Dazai that he could help advance his fragile world and reunite him with Odasaku by building a Throne of Heroes. Boss Dazai became intrigued by the possibility, and Aikawa Kaze ended by offering to teach him how to create one.

• Aikawa Kaze gave Boss Dazai several of Odasaku's books and argued that Dazai's actions showed he wanted to keep living, then proposed trading his knowledge for Dazai's ability.
• Boss Dazai revealed that he had consulted his world's consciousness through the Book, but Aikawa Kaze argued that the world's existing method of advancement came at a cost.
• Aikawa Kaze suggested that the Book's limits on what counted as logically possible might be broader than Dazai assumed, citing extraordinary abilities and possibilities such as parallel-world travel.
• Aikawa Kaze explained that the Throne of Heroes could fuel a world's advancement and let heroic spirits travel across parallel worlds and share their counterparts' memories.
• Aikawa Kaze claimed that if Odasaku became a heroic spirit, he could learn the truth of Dazai's efforts and become his closest friend, then offered to teach Dazai how to build a Throne of Heroes.

Aikawa Kaze finalized his deal with Boss Dazai and prepared to deal with Brain before heading to Touhou Academy to clear out cursed spirits. After hearing a crash and a cry of pain in the dark school, he wondered whether someone was still there.

• Aikawa Kaze explained that Boss Dazai could use the Book and the world’s energy to create a Throne of Heroes, and Boss Dazai signed a contract with him.
• Boss Dazai warned Aikawa Kaze that No Longer Human required physical contact to nullify an ability already in effect, and Aikawa Kaze planned to use it against Brain’s lingering curse.
• Aikawa Kaze planned to locate Brain by identifying people with stitched rings around their heads and to lure him out using Suguru Geto, with Satoru Gojo as backup.
• Aikawa Kaze entered Touhou Academy after the gates closed and crossed the athletic field toward the middle school section while destroying cursed spirits along the way.
• Aikawa Kaze heard something fall near the gym and someone cry out in pain, then wondered if the person was human.

Aikawa Kaze rescued Junpei Yoshino from the gym storage room, where he had been locked in and bullied, and gave him a way to seek help. Junpei went home hoping to see Aikawa again, while Aikawa realized he had forgotten to tell him that he no longer attended the school.

• Aikawa Kaze followed labored breathing to the gym storage room and picked its lock to free a frightened student.
• Aikawa noticed a Grade 3 cursed spirit clinging to the boy and eased his distress with milk tea and reassurance.
• Aikawa learned the boy was Junpei Yoshino, gave him his phone number and a protective charm, and promised he could ask for help.
• Junpei declined Aikawa's offer to walk him home but asked to see him again and left smiling.
• Aikawa realized Junpei expected to meet him at school the next day, though Aikawa no longer attended there.

Aikawa Kaze cleared cursed spirits at the school using his summoned No Longer Human ability, then rearranged missions with his friends to plan a hot-spring outing. Meanwhile, Junpei Yoshino investigated Aikawa and concluded that the helpful older student might be a ghost.

• Aikawa Kaze used No Longer Human to purify cursed spirits at the school and set up a Teleportation Circle before leaving.
• Aikawa Kaze checked the group chat and coordinated with his friends to exploit mission schedules for a hot-spring trip and fireworks festival in Gunma.
• Junpei Yoshino recalled the suspicious details of Aikawa Kaze rescuing him and went to the high school division to ask about him.
