Chapter Summaries

Aikawa Kaze helped Principal Yaga devise an entrance exam to judge two girls’ character and secure benefits for Jujutsu High if they failed it. He then asked Yaga to put his AI in a doll, leaving with a promise that Pokémon-like dolls could roam the school forest.

• Aikawa Kaze suggested assessing the girls’ character, strength, wealth, or ability to donate special grade cursed tools, and Principal Yaga agreed to arrange a test that observed how they treated people in danger.
• Satoru Gojo offered to pay for the girls, but Aikawa Kaze warned that his involvement could raise awkward questions.
• Principal Yaga and Aikawa Kaze planned to test the girls by sending them to exorcise a cursed spirit with people needing help placed along the way.
• Aikawa Kaze asked Principal Yaga to install his AI in a doll, and Yaga agreed to make a male calico cat doll after ruling out Pikachu and Eevee designs.
• Principal Yaga offered to let Pokémon-like dolls roam the forest, and Aikawa Kaze asked for the entire Eevee family and dolls from the National Pokédex.

Aikawa Kaze and Principal Yaga discussed the sisters’ test and decided to demand cursed tools from Suguru Geto in exchange for accepting them. Yaga then introduced Kaze to Takashi Natsume, a neglected boy who appeared to wield spirit power rather than cursed energy, leaving Kaze curious about how Natsume’s abilities and his round calico plush would fit into the jujutsu world.

• Principal Yaga told Aikawa Kaze that the sisters exorcised a grade 3 cursed spirit and rescued a boy, but failed to save an assistant supervisor posing as a victim.
• Aikawa Kaze advised Yaga to treat the sisters as having failed unless Suguru Geto provided special grade or high-grade cursed tools, and Yaga agreed the tools could benefit the students.
• Yaga explained that the boy, Takashi Natsume, had been abandoned by irresponsible relatives and seemed to possess spirit power without any cursed energy.
• Yaga asked Aikawa Kaze to speak gently with Natsume, while Satoru Gojo sat in the principal’s office and had given the boy Yaga’s calico cat plush.
• Aikawa Kaze recognized the clues pointing to Natsume’s Book of Friends and wondered whether the boy’s yokai and abilities would be treated as cursed spirits or something else.

Aikawa Kaze arranged for Natsume Takashi to recover at Jujutsu High and encouraged him to consider enrolling, then asked Satoru Gojo about a hypothetical defeat by Sukuna. Gojo answered confidently, but he suspected Kaze’s unusually specific question might have come from a real premonition.

• Aikawa Kaze healed Natsume Takashi’s injuries and took him to an empty dorm room with clothes and supplies.
• Aikawa Kaze told Natsume that Jujutsu High offered free tuition, room, board, and paid work, and suggested that his abilities resembled an onmyoji’s.
• Aikawa Kaze asked Satoru Gojo what his last words would be if Sukuna killed him after holding back.
• Satoru Gojo said he would apologize to the people who trusted him, declared that his students would surpass him, and insisted he would remain the strongest.
• Satoru Gojo noticed that Kaze’s question was unusually specific and wondered whether he had foreseen something.

Gojo told Geto that he had begun to consider how someone might kill him, partly because Aikawa Kaze’s ability could bypass his defenses and because Kaze had spoken of a prophecy. Meanwhile, Kaze helped Natsume settle in and received a box of his grandmother’s belongings, which Ijichi had secretly brought to him as a possible inheritance.

• Geto delivered cursed tools and medicine for the two sisters, then pressed Gojo to explain why he seemed troubled.
• Gojo admitted that Kaze’s nullification could create an opening in his Limitless defense and that other unknown abilities might threaten him.
• Geto revealed that people had asked whether he could kill Gojo and warned that Jujutsu Headquarters might be exploring ways to eliminate or restrain him.
• Gojo asked Geto whether he believed in prophecies.
• Kaze introduced Natsume to Yuta and Inumaki, and Natsume quickly learned to converse with Inumaki using rice ball language.
• Ijichi gave Natsume a box of his grandmother’s belongings, explaining that his ancestor had been a Cursed Spirit Manipulator and that his grandmother might also have been a sorcerer.

After the world consciousness introduced monsters and onmyoji into Jujutsu Society, Aikawa Kaze learned that the system had helped arrange the change and began planning to build magical diagram nodes through public works. Natsume Takashi found a possible home with the Fujiwara couple, but his Book of Friends attracted dangerous spirits, leaving Aikawa concerned about protecting him.

• Aikawa Kaze read the official account of monsters and onmyoji emerging and learned from the system that the world consciousness had merged a low-magic world into theirs.
• Aikawa Kaze discovered the system had earned him an enormous fortune, learned it could not reveal an important secret until he summoned a local heroic spirit, and resumed planning his magic circle diagram.
• Natsume Takashi spent peaceful days at Jujutsu High, while Aikawa urged him to consider the realities of Jujutsu Society before deciding to become a jujutsu sorcerer.
• Aikawa Kaze took Natsume to meet the Fujiwara couple, whose kindness changed Natsume's hope from leaving to wanting a peaceful life with them.
• Aikawa Kaze discovered that Natsume's Book of Friends could record and command cursed spirits, warned him to conceal its power, and kept protecting him from spirits drawn to it.

Aikawa Kaze left Natsume in Nyanko-sensei’s care after the yokai became his bodyguard, but Natsume chased after Kaze to offer help. Kaze asked Natsume to recruit yokai to dig and build an underground Spirit-Gathering Array.

• Aikawa Kaze followed Natsume to a shrine structure, where Natsume freed a powerful yokai that possessed the calico cat plush and became Nyanko-sensei.
• After observing Natsume and Nyanko-sensei together, Aikawa Kaze quietly left, while Nyanko-sensei and Natsume revealed they had both sensed him.
• Natsume decided to learn spirit-power techniques so he could help others, but Nyanko-sensei struggled to suggest a useful role because Kaze already had strong healing, defenses, and barrier skills.
• Natsume and Nyanko-sensei caught up with Aikawa Kaze, who agreed to let Natsume repay him by recruiting yokai to help excavate an underground project.
• Aikawa Kaze explained that he wanted to use yokai to speed up construction of a Spirit-Gathering Array and asked Natsume whether he knew about one.

Aikawa Kaze recruited Natsume Takashi to help build a spirit-gathering array by hiring yokai, then returned to Jujutsu High and discussed work, reforms, and holiday plans with the students. After dreaming again about Gojo becoming 2.5, he demanded that the system arrange a conversation with the world consciousness and threatened to go after Gojo.

• Aikawa Kaze explained his spirit-gathering array to Natsume Takashi and asked him to recruit yokai as workers in exchange for food, drinks, and other goods.
• Aikawa Kaze transferred startup funding to Natsume and made him responsible for recruitment, while Natsume began organizing a staff register.
• Aikawa Kaze returned to Jujutsu High, where Panda, Maki Zenin, Toge Inumaki, and Yuta Okkotsu discussed holiday missions and the exploitation of jujutsu sorcerers.
• Maki Zenin and the other students suggested that Satoru Gojo and Aikawa Kaze had deliberately let Suguru Geto escape, then discussed inviting Gojo on a holiday outing.
• Aikawa Kaze dreamed again about Gojo becoming 2.5, summoned the system, and demanded that it contact the world consciousness for a conversation.

Aikawa Kaze discovered that his system was closely tied to the world consciousness and learned that he had signed a contract before transmigrating. After receiving a Husky cursed corpse as the system’s body, he decided to destroy Sukuna’s Fingers while preserving the one meant for Yuji Itadori.

• The system accidentally revealed that Aikawa Kaze had signed a contract before arriving, then malfunctioned when he pressed it for details.
• Aikawa Kaze suspected the system was an alternate account of the world consciousness and asked it to stop causing nightmares about Satoru Gojo’s death.
• The system admitted that Yuji Itadori’s existence and growth were essential, while Aikawa Kaze realized he had been guided to overlook destroying Sukuna’s Fingers.
• Aikawa Kaze collected the Husky cursed corpse from Principal Yaga, and Satoru Gojo mistook its affection for Aikawa’s way of expressing love for him.
• Satoru Gojo ran off to order a fox cursed corpse named Little Geto, leaving the Husky worried it would lose its chance to become his favorite.
• Aikawa Kaze set out to destroy Sukuna’s Fingers, keeping the one meant for Yuji Itadori, and enlisted the Husky to help cover his tracks.

Aikawa Kaze questioned Husky about the suspicious contract and learned it had barred him from harming important characters, while a planned remake would give him major scenes as a fictional character. He kept his true plans to himself, bought Husky travel gear and a phone, and resolved to keep questioning him before foisting him off on Megumi Fushiguro.

• Aikawa Kaze arranged a trip with Megumi Fushiguro and Junpei Yoshino, then hid a Teleportation Circle at school so he could later retrieve Sukuna's Finger without attracting suspicion.
• Husky unlocked Aikawa Kaze's phone to read his messages, and Aikawa Kaze agreed to get him a phone and SIM card so he could contact Satoru Gojo himself.
• Husky worried that Aikawa Kaze would turn against Satoru Gojo over the manga's plot, but Aikawa Kaze said he saw Gojo as a real friend and teacher, not just a fictional character.
• Husky revealed that Aikawa Kaze's contract had forbidden him from harming important characters and said the remake would give Aikawa Kaze his own major scenes.
• Aikawa Kaze inferred that the remake would depict him as a fictional character, while Husky ordered piles of travel supplies using Aikawa Kaze's phone.
• Aikawa Kaze took back his phone, ordered Husky a phone and SIM card, and planned to dump him on Megumi Fushiguro once he had learned enough.

Aikawa Kaze and the others traveled to a remote mountain for a skiing trip, where they discussed imaginary cursed spirits and the mysteries of legendary beings. Megumi Fushiguro’s Divine Dogs unexpectedly fused into a stronger black-and-white dog, and the chapter left them able to split apart and fuse again at will.

• Aikawa Kaze and the Jujutsu High students traveled to the snowy mountain with Kiyotaka Ijichi driving, while Husky charmed Megumi Fushiguro for snacks and attention.
• Panda and Junpei Yoshino discussed the mountain’s abandoned attractions, recent murders, and whether a snow woman could be an imaginary cursed spirit.
• Yuta Okkotsu explained imaginary cursed spirits to Junpei Yoshino, and Aikawa Kaze compared them with the heroes his ability summoned.
• Megumi Fushiguro summoned Black and White, and the Divine Dogs unexpectedly fused into a larger black-and-white shikigami.
• The fused Divine Dog split into Black and White and fused again, while Aikawa Kaze credited Husky’s presence with sparking their competition.

Aikawa Kaze rode with the others toward their destination while they teased him about Husky’s affection for Megumi and his respect for Gojo. As the group neared the snowy mountains, Kaze spotted a girl with twin ponytails destroying an elaborate snow castle, a scene he vaguely recognized.

• Panda claimed Husky’s attachment to Megumi reflected Kaze’s own hidden desires, and the others teased Kaze about his fondness for Gojo.
• Kaze changed the subject by asking why Gojo was traveling separately, and Junpei switched seats with him to talk to Yuta.
• Kaze reminded the group that Gojo was picking up two new students and revealed they were girls, making Maki eager to meet them.
• Ijichi announced that the group was nearly at their destination and warned them they would continue on foot through the snow.
• Kaze saw a twin-ponytailed girl knock down an intricate snow castle and wondered why the scene seemed familiar.

Aikawa Kaze and the Jujutsu High students met Mimiko and Nanako at the inn, where Satoru Gojo’s antics helped ease the tension between the two groups. The gathering ended with the students sharing a hot meal while Gojo sat alone with his shaved ice, and Yuta Okkotsu healed the husky after it broke its teeth trying to bite Aikawa Kaze.

• Aikawa Kaze arrived at the inn with the others and found Satoru Gojo eating shaved ice with Mimiko and Nanako.
• Nanako nervously provoked Aikawa Kaze, and Mimiko tried to pass it off as a joke before Junpei Yoshino suggested they find another table.
• Aikawa Kaze and several students moved to a neighboring table, and Maki, Yuta Okkotsu, Mimiko, and Nanako joined them, leaving Satoru Gojo alone with the desserts.
• The husky tried to drag Satoru Gojo and then Aikawa Kaze to the group, but shattered its teeth against Aikawa Kaze’s hidden Golden Armor.
• Yuta Okkotsu used Reverse Cursed Technique to restore the husky’s teeth, while Mimiko and Nanako noticed the contrast between Yuta’s kindness and Aikawa Kaze’s indifference.

While Ijichi met Junko, a little girl who delighted in destroying her own snow creations, Aikawa Kaze secretly returned to Jujutsu High and stole six of Sukuna’s fingers. He then went to buy games and snacks for the group, leaving the stolen fingers hidden in his Four-Dimensional Pocket.

• Ijichi searched for the missing Snow Castle and met Junko, who explained that she built castles to destroy them and savor the despair of onlookers.
• Aikawa Kaze agreed to teleport home and buy extra consoles, games, and snacks so the group could pass the time at the inn.
• Aikawa Kaze used the World Consciousness’s help to sneak into Jujutsu High without triggering its barrier.
• Aikawa Kaze overheard Principal Yaga and Shoko complaining that Satoru Gojo had gone on vacation without them.
• Aikawa Kaze transformed into his King of Knights form, found six of Sukuna’s fingers in the cursed warehouse, and hid them in his Four-Dimensional Pocket.
• Aikawa Kaze headed to a crowded game store and decided to use his newfound wealth to buy what the group wanted.

Aikawa Kaze helped Natsume Takashi buy hundreds of game consoles for the monsters who wanted to play, then proposed building cell service in the forests around Hara. He offered Natsume an interest-free loan and suggested the monsters could work to repay it.

• Aikawa Kaze ran into Natsume Takashi while both were waiting to buy game consoles, and Natsume explained that many monsters wanted consoles but he could not buy them all without attracting attention.
• Aikawa Kaze paid for four hundred consoles with his Black Card and arranged to have most of them shipped to his house.
• Natsume told Aikawa Kaze that Nyanko-sensei had introduced the games to the monsters, and that Little Fox hoped to save for an iPad for a lonely Stone Old Man Monster.
• Aikawa Kaze pointed out that the forests around Hara likely lacked the signal and charging infrastructure needed for an iPad.
• Aikawa Kaze offered to help build a cell tower through crowdfunding and an interest-free loan, suggesting the monsters could work to repay the debt.

Aikawa Kaze discovered that Junko Enoshima embodied an enduring force of human negative emotions, and decided that killing her would solve nothing. After Husky confirmed that Heroic Spirit Summoning might be a response to that force, Aikawa Kaze questioned whether his own arrival and choices had been guided by the world’s larger design.

• Aikawa Kaze brought games, snacks, phones, and tablets to the mountain inn, where everyone played together and relaxed.
• At Ijichi’s request, Aikawa Kaze sensed the little girl in Junko Enoshima’s room and detected a Beast-like aggregate of negative emotions within her.
• Ijichi told Aikawa Kaze that Junko had been connected to three local murder cases, and Aikawa Kaze told him to leave the matter to him.
• Aikawa Kaze consulted Husky, who explained that Junko represented humanity’s negative emotions and that killing her would not eliminate them.
• Aikawa Kaze reasoned that he would need to seal Junko rather than kill her, then questioned whether the world had caused him to gain Heroic Spirit Summoning abilities in response to her existence.

After losing sleep over ranked matches, Aikawa Kaze recovered his focus and went to find Junko Enoshima. He recognized that Junko’s love made her capable of despair and offered her a way to experience it in every moment.

• Aikawa Kaze crashed into a snowbank while skiing, admitted he had stayed up playing ranked matches, and accepted Megumi Fushiguro’s advice to rest.
• Junpei Yoshino invited Aikawa Kaze to play ranked matches with him another time, while their friends prepared a snowball siege.
• Aikawa Kaze visited Ijichi, met Mr. and Mrs. Enoshima, and reassured them that he would look out for Junko Enoshima.
• Junko Enoshima recalled how she sought happiness in betrayal, pain, and despair, and how her parents’ trust frustrated her attempts to provoke them.
• Aikawa Kaze found Junko Enoshima and asked whether she wanted to accept herself and savor the despair-pleasure in every moment.

Aikawa Kaze trapped Junko Enoshima in a binding vow that made her find despair within herself, then questioned the world consciousness about its influence over his choices. The world consciousness explained the limits and dangers of exploiting binding-vow loopholes, leaving Aikawa Kaze wary of provoking Sukuna.

• Aikawa Kaze confirmed Junko Enoshima could see and destroy Cursed Spirits, then proposed a binding vow with Husky as a witness.
• Junko Enoshima agreed to stop seeking out others’ negative emotions and instead help them find happiness, while Aikawa Kaze promised she could enjoy despair whenever she wanted.
• Aikawa Kaze explained that Junko Enoshima could experience despair through her own suffering, and she laughed as she embraced the endless cycle.
• Aikawa Kaze left Junko Enoshima behind and asked the husky-shaped world consciousness whether it had interfered with his thoughts; it admitted to guiding him but said his choices remained his own.
• The world consciousness warned Aikawa Kaze not to attack Sukuna’s Fingers through a loophole, explaining that Sukuna might exploit his vow to harm Megumi Fushiguro and that breaking vows carried a heavy cost.

Aikawa Kaze planned to destroy six of Sukuna’s fingers and decided to summon Enkidu with Husky’s help. The chapter ended as he completed the summoning chant for the Chains of Heaven.

• The World Consciousness suggested secretly collecting Sukuna’s fingers before destroying them, and Aikawa Kaze agreed that Sukuna must not notice the binding vow’s loophole.
• Aikawa Kaze considered using Karna’s or Red Archer’s Noble Phantasm to destroy the fingers, but decided to summon another Heroic Spirit instead.
• Aikawa Kaze chose Enkidu and reasoned that Husky’s presence might help attract the animal-loving Heroic Spirit.
• Aikawa Kaze took Gilgamesh’s Clay Tablet to a secluded corner, held Husky, and began the summoning ritual.
• Husky tried to look adorable as Aikawa Kaze recited the final words calling on the Chains of Heaven.

Aikawa Kaze summoned Enkidu to deal with Sukuna's Fingers, but the world's incomplete rules allowed Enkidu to appear only as the Chains of Heaven. Enkidu protected Kaze and the Husky and attacked the Cursed Objects.

• Enkidu noticed Aikawa Kaze's unusual summoning and investigated the boy and his dog.
• Kaze placed six Sukuna's Fingers before the Summoning Circle, and Enkidu sensed their threatening aura and agreed to help.

• The Husky realized that the world's Spirit Power was recovering and that Heroic Spirits could now appear as weapons.
• The Chains of Heaven wrapped around Kaze and the Husky for protection, then attacked Sukuna's Fingers.

Aikawa Kaze persuaded Enkidu to remain as the Chains of Heaven, gaining a powerful partner who protected him during the students’ snowball ambush. After Satoru Gojo discovered the chains had a soul, Kaze realized Panda and Megumi Fushiguro’s shikigami could help win Enkidu’s affection.

• Aikawa Kaze asked Enkidu to stay and help him fight Sukuna, and Enkidu agreed to remain by his side as the Chains of Heaven.
• Aikawa Kaze discovered Enkidu could protect him while he used Karna’s possession form, giving him both strong offense and defense.
• Satoru Gojo and the students ambushed Aikawa Kaze during a snowball fight, but Enkidu blocked attacks and helped Kaze counterattack.
• Satoru Gojo recognized that the chains possessed a soul, and Aikawa Kaze confirmed they were a weapon spirit.
