Kenjaku and Uraume used the popular “Onmyoji” story to strengthen cursed spirits, but Aikawa Kaze realized readers’ admiration for its Demon King might empower Ryomen Sukuna instead. He returned to Tokyo Jujutsu High to test a native Heroic Spirit Summoning, and Husky began drawing the ritual circle in a way that made him suspect something was amiss.

• Megumi Fushiguro drew the summoning circle, and Aikawa Kaze had Husky help; Husky’s strange obedience left him wondering what he had overlooked.

Aikawa Kaze summoned Toji Fushiguro after Megumi Fushiguro suggested the Heroic Spirit might like small animals, then realized Toji’s appearance undermined his assumptions about how Heroic Spirits were formed. He confronted Husky about the world consciousness’s secrets while Megumi searched for his missing brother.

• Aikawa Kaze threatened the world consciousness's dog vessel until it admitted it had concealed information to keep him working toward the world's independent growth.

• A familiar, unfamiliar man asked Megumi Fushiguro who Aikawa Kaze was and why Megumi had called him his younger brother.

Kaze ended the fight without using a Noble Phantasm and used his Command Spell to order Toji to make up for abandoning Megumi by becoming Jujutsu High’s janitor.

• Toji Fushiguro failed to recognize Megumi and asked whether Fushiguro had remarried and had another son.
• Megumi agreed that Kaze could beat Toji, while Kaze clarified that he did not consider Toji his father.
• Kaze attacked Toji with his fists and Jewel Sword, but Toji easily countered him and taunted him as the fight wore on.
• Megumi released his dogs, and the world consciousness reminded Kaze that Toji was a Heroic Spirit with the strongest body.
• Kaze stopped fighting, then used his Command Spell to order Toji to handle Jujutsu High’s cleaning and other chores as its janitor.

Aikawa Kaze tried to stop Megumi Fushiguro from taking care of his irresponsible father, Toji Fushiguro, but Megumi chose to cook for everyone anyway. As the group prepared to eat, Kaze turned his attention to tormenting the world consciousness, which was trapped in a Husky body.

• Aikawa Kaze urged Megumi Fushiguro to make Toji Fushiguro help with cooking, but Megumi worried that Toji might cause food poisoning and took over the meal himself.
• Toji Fushiguro produced a bloodied cleaver from a cursed spirit, so Aikawa Kaze ordered him to clean the school's toilets instead of helping with dinner.
• Toji Fushiguro tried to claim that Kaze should call him Grandpa and give him money, but Kaze ignored his bait and asked Megumi how best to torment a horse-racing gambler.
• Megumi Fushiguro said Kaze seemed to care about Toji, prompting Kaze to deny it before helping prepare Megumi's tomato and egg stir-fry.
• Megumi Fushiguro asked Kaze to feed Husky, but Kaze left the bowl outside the bathroom and told the world consciousness to go find its own food there.

• Aikawa Kaze told Toji Fushiguro that he would cook for them and clean the toilets after cooking.

Aikawa Kaze and Satoru Gojo discussed the hidden Spirit-Gathering Array, the missing Sukuna’s Fingers, and the suspicious author of “Onmyoji.” Gojo warned Kaze that others might suspect him of destroying the cursed objects, then identified a strange man with stitches around his head as the person who worried him most.

• Masamichi Yaga inspected Jujutsu High, discovered the underground Spirit-Gathering Array, and let the matter end after Satoru Gojo took responsibility for it.
• Aikawa Kaze explained his revised understanding of heroic spirit requirements to Satoru Gojo, who accepted that Toji Fushiguro could qualify while he could not.
• Gojo revealed that the sewage had recently been cleaned and Kaze suspected the world consciousness in Husky’s shell had eaten the waste after Kaze offered it as a buffet.
• Kaze changed the subject to the “Onmyoji” author, and Gojo said the manga seemed intended to strengthen cursed spirits and that six of Sukuna’s Fingers had vanished from the school storehouse.
• Gojo warned Kaze that people might connect him to the missing Fingers because he had already destroyed one, but they agreed not to worry about the consequences.
• Gojo named a bowl-cut old man as the likely manga author and said a seemingly ordinary man with stitches around his head, who visited to demand updates, felt suspicious to him.

Aikawa Kaze told Satoru Gojo that the stitched-head Mastermind was likely behind Tsumiki's curse, and the two agreed to find him while keeping Megumi Fushiguro's hopes in check. After realizing the Husky was tied to the world consciousness, they decided to kill it, and Satoru Gojo drew Megumi away so they could act.

• Aikawa Kaze identified the Mastermind as a thousand-year-old body-stealing curse user marked by stitches on his forehead and deduced that he had cursed Tsumiki.
• Satoru Gojo agreed to help find the Mastermind and keep their plan from Megumi Fushiguro until Tsumiki was safe.
• Satoru Gojo recognized that the Husky carried a strange aura and guessed that it was a spirit born from the world, which Aikawa Kaze confirmed was the world consciousness.
• Satoru Gojo argued that killing the world consciousness would not harm the world, and Aikawa Kaze agreed to attack it with him.
• Satoru Gojo messaged Megumi Fushiguro that the principal needed to see him, and Megumi left the Athletic Field, leaving the Husky alone.

Aikawa Kaze explained that Husky had been removed after eating sewage, then surprised Satoru Gojo by calling him Dad before they left to confront Brain. Using his newly acquired world permissions, Kaze located Brain in a secret Kamo Clan chamber, where Gojo recognized evidence of the clan’s experiments.

• Aikawa Kaze told Megumi Fushiguro that Husky had eaten sewage from the school pipes, and Megumi felt sick remembering the dog had licked him.
• Aikawa Kaze called Satoru Gojo Dad, delighting Gojo, who teleported away with Kaze to deal with Brain.
• Megumi Fushiguro reflected on how Satoru Gojo had supported and raised him and considered whether calling him Father would be reasonable.
• Aikawa Kaze used his newly acquired permissions to locate Brain, and he and Satoru Gojo found him in a hidden chamber.
• Satoru Gojo recognized the chamber as belonging to the Kamo Clan and suggested bringing Suguru Geto in to expose its secret experiments.

Aikawa Kaze gathered Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, and Yuta Okkotsu to confront Brain, using the world consciousness’s privileges to enter his laboratory undetected. As they faced Brain’s horrific experiments, Toji Fushiguro secretly followed to protect Kaze, and the group continued toward the unresponsive mastermind.

• Aikawa Kaze invited Suguru Geto and Yuta Okkotsu to join him and Satoru Gojo in confronting Brain, hoping to claim the Prison Realm afterward.
• Suguru Geto arrived on Rainbow Dragon, while Yuta Okkotsu ran to the site and said he had warmed up on the way.

• Satoru Gojo noticed Toji Fushiguro concealed nearby and teased him as a protective parent watching over Kaze.
• Yuta Okkotsu and Suguru Geto sensed a sudden chill, but Gojo dismissed it as a harmless watcher and the group pressed onward.
• Suguru Geto questioned why Brain had not reacted to their entrance, while Kaze kept their world-consciousness privileges secret and refused to disable them.

Aikawa Kaze, Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, and Yuta Okkotsu raided Kenjaku’s facility and apparently killed him while gathering evidence of human experiments. Kenjaku secretly survived as a tiny fragment and began considering his final plan.

• Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto attacked Kenjaku while pretending they believed he was Kamo Rokunobu, and Kenjaku mistook their motives for an effort to expose the Kamo Clan.
• Yuta Okkotsu froze Kenjaku with his cursed speech, and Aikawa Kaze reached through the host’s forehead to seize Kenjaku’s brain.
• Aikawa Kaze used the Chains of Heaven to pin the brain to the floor, and the group believed Kenjaku was dead.
• Aikawa Kaze, Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, and Yuta Okkotsu searched the facility and collected evidence while Kenjaku secretly escaped as a tiny piece of flesh.
• Kenjaku realized that almost all of his body had been lost and considered activating his final plan.

Kenjaku escaped the laboratory but Toji Fushiguro killed him before Satoru Gojo could land a hit, and the group regrouped with Suguru Geto recruiting Yuta Okkotsu to help the Time Vessel Association. On the way back, Gojo asked Aikawa Kaze to try summoning Riko as a Heroic Spirit, but Kaze sensed that someone in this world had just communicated with a parallel world.

• Kenjaku used his last cursed energy to alert Uraume, then crawled out of the laboratory, where Toji Fushiguro grabbed and crushed him.
• Satoru Gojo fired Red at Toji Fushiguro, but Toji survived, and Gojo admitted he simply could not stand him.
• Suguru Geto asked Yuta Okkotsu to help the Time Vessel Association for a few days, and Yuta agreed with Satoru Gojo's permission.
• Satoru Gojo asked Aikawa Kaze whether Riko could become a Heroic Spirit, and Kaze agreed to try summoning her.
• Aikawa Kaze sensed that a parallel world had briefly communicated with this world and wondered who else could reach across worlds.

Aikawa Kaze and Satoru Gojo realized a hidden enemy might be blocking their access to Uraume and could be connected to another world, so they hurried to protect Megumi Fushiguro. Meanwhile, Uraume hid with help from the mysterious “Curse,” then learned that Kaze had destroyed seven of Sukuna’s Fingers and questioned “Curse’s” motives.

• Megumi Fushiguro called Aikawa Kaze to say Tsumiki had woken up, then rushed to the hospital with his phone nearly dead.
• Aikawa Kaze discovered he could no longer locate Uraume and suspected that the world consciousness had survived or that an enemy from a parallel world was interfering.
• Aikawa Kaze connected the rising spiritual energy and faith in Japan to his unease, then urged Satoru Gojo to hurry and find Megumi.
• Uraume relocated after receiving Brain’s message and hid in an underground chamber filled with True Magic Circle Diagrams, while “Curse” urged him to lie low.
• Uraume learned that Aikawa Kaze had destroyed seven of Sukuna’s Fingers and challenged “Curse” about why it had withheld that information.
• “Curse” claimed it could restore Sukuna to his peak and make him powerful enough to kill Satoru Gojo.

Tsumiki Fushiguro recovered at home while Aikawa Kaze and Satoru Gojo realized her sudden urge to rush out had likely been caused by mental manipulation. Toji Fushiguro, who had been listening from the roof, finally entered the Fushiguro household to cook, while Tsumiki accepted Kaze’s explanation that Megumi’s father had faked his death to escape his debts.

• Aikawa Kaze remembered Toji Fushiguro and invited him inside to prepare a recovery feast for Tsumiki.
• Toji Fushiguro joined Megumi Fushiguro in the kitchen, and Aikawa Kaze told Tsumiki that Megumi’s father had probably faked his death to escape debt.

• Tsumiki Fushiguro offered to tidy Toji Fushiguro’s room, but Aikawa Kaze sat her down to rest and went to do it himself.

• Aikawa Kaze replaced Toji’s musty bedding with a new set he bought at the shopping street.
• Satoru Gojo, Megumi Fushiguro, Tsumiki Fushiguro, and Toji Fushiguro entered the spotless room and reacted to Kaze’s work.
• Satoru Gojo complained that Kaze had bought Toji bedding but had not brought him Kikufuku, so Kaze teleported out and returned with his favorite sweets.
• Toji Fushiguro took Kaze’s explanation as proof that Kaze cared about him and felt that the family welcomed him home.

Aikawa Kaze watched a fan-made Jujutsu Kaisen story that portrayed his life and exposed his embarrassing moments to a crowd of readers. He woke with his spirit power dramatically increased and suspected his newfound popularity had caused the boost.

• After dinner, Aikawa Kaze ran ten laps to settle his stomach, then fell asleep and entered another lucid dream.
• Aikawa Kaze watched a fan-made version of Jujutsu Kaisen starring Yuta Okkotsu, where he appeared as a transfer student and viewers mocked and praised his scenes.
• The story showed Aikawa Kaze's Uchiha Laugh, his rescue of Sakura, his heroic spirit battles, and scenes that led readers to misunderstand his feelings about Toji Fushiguro and Satoru Gojo.
• Aikawa Kaze woke embarrassed and upset by the dream, then discovered that his spirit power had suddenly doubled.
• Aikawa Kaze wondered whether the popularity he gained from being portrayed as handsome, powerful, and tragic had increased his spirit power.

Aikawa Kaze remembered that he had meant to eliminate Uraume and discussed the concealed threat with Satoru Gojo. Gojo then revealed that Suguru Geto had made the Time Vessel Association a legal organization, leaving Kaze wondering how Geto had managed it.

• Aikawa Kaze realized that his memories of an important task might have been blocked and remembered that he had wanted to take out Uraume.
• Aikawa Kaze told Satoru Gojo that Uraume's location had been concealed and worried that the world consciousness might still be interfering.
• Satoru Gojo tried to cheer Aikawa Kaze up by telling him that Suguru Geto's Time Vessel Association had gone legit.
• Aikawa Kaze checked the date and asked whether Gojo was joking about Jujutsu Headquarters recognizing the association.
• Satoru Gojo said that Geto had gone through proper channels, and Aikawa Kaze guessed that Geto had negotiated with the government.

Aikawa Kaze warned Satoru Gojo that Suguru Geto’s new government ties could replace Jujutsu Headquarters with another entrenched power, then learned Geto’s connection had begun after a government official invited him to dinner. Kaze gave up trying to manage their choices and turned the conversation to hot pot, leaving Gojo and Geto unsure whether he had truly stopped helping.

• Satoru Gojo confronted Aikawa Kaze for knowing that approaching the government was an option, and Kaze explained why Geto’s prejudices had kept him from recommending it.
• Aikawa Kaze cautioned Gojo that government officials could become a new version of Jujutsu Headquarters’ conservative higher-ups and said he had considered emigrating rather than cleaning up the political mess.
• Satoru Gojo panicked when Kaze talked about leaving, clung to him, and called Suguru Geto over.
• Suguru Geto said he had met a senior government official while carrying out a Time Vessel Association assignment, saved the official’s life, and later accepted a dinner invitation.
• Aikawa Kaze considered whether the official’s support was sincere or a government maneuver, then told Gojo and Geto to follow their own choices.
• Aikawa Kaze abruptly suggested hot pot, and Gojo and Geto answered with their preferred ingredients before realizing the conversation had changed.

After realizing someone had manipulated his mood to make him give up, Aikawa Kaze used Osamu Dazai’s ability and thwarted Uraume’s ambush. He trapped Uraume with a barrier and Megumi’s shikigami, but Uraume tried to escape by threatening to destroy a Nintendo Switch.

• Toji Fushiguro recognized Suguru Geto and moved to attack him, but Satoru Gojo explained that Geto’s warrant had been revoked and the Time Vessel Association was now officially recognized.
• Aikawa Kaze shared hot pot with the others, then walked Little Black and White and realized his urge to give up had been caused by outside interference.
• Aikawa Kaze switched to Osamu Dazai’s [No Longer Human], clearing his mind and nullifying the abnormal influence.
• Uraume attacked Aikawa Kaze with an overwhelming force, ice, and a bullet, but Karna’s [Golden Armor] and the Chain protected him.
• Aikawa Kaze chased Uraume and began forming a barrier, while Divine Dog: Totality and Nue blocked Uraume’s escape.
• Uraume threatened to destroy a Nintendo Switch unless Aikawa Kaze let them go, leaving him baffled.
