Chapter Summaries

Aikawa Kaze saw through Uraume’s threat to destroy an NS console and offered to spare him if he helped expose the dog world consciousness. After realizing that the consciousness had used Kaori Itadori’s body and Yuji Itadori’s status as the world’s chosen protagonist, Aikawa recognized how it had gained the advantage and escaped.

• Uraume threatened to destroy the NS console he believed was Aikawa Kaze’s only link to his friends and family, but Aikawa recognized it as one of his unopened consoles.
• Aikawa offered to spare Uraume if he revealed the dog world consciousness’s whereabouts and helped lure it out, and Uraume agreed despite not knowing where it was.
• Uraume realized the dog world consciousness had manipulated him into serving as its weapon and offered to help kill it.
• Aikawa questioned whether Uraume had caused the gravity and bullets that had restrained and attacked him, and Uraume denied responsibility.
• Aikawa realized the dog world consciousness had escaped by taking control of Kaori Itadori’s body and exploiting Yuji Itadori’s status as the world’s designated protagonist.

Aikawa Kaze forced Uraume into a binding vow to help lure out “it,” then joined Gojo, Geto, and Yuta in attempting to summon Riko Amanai as a Heroic Spirit. The summoning answered, leaving Kaze worried that something extraordinary had appeared.

• Aikawa Kaze made Uraume vow to follow his orders for a month and act as bait to draw out “it.”
• Megumi Fushiguro brought the shell casings from the attack to Toji Fushiguro, who vowed to track down whoever had shot at Kaze.
• Aikawa Kaze told Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto about his plan, then proposed summoning Riko Amanai as a Heroic Spirit.
• Yuta Okkotsu arrived and joined Gojo, Geto, and Kaze in shedding blood for the summoning; Yuta bled the most.
• Aikawa Kaze recited the summoning incantation, and something answered.

Aikawa Kaze summoned Rika Orimoto by using the Queen of Curses’ body and Yuta Okkotsu’s blood, restoring her reason and reuniting her with Yuta. After warning them about Rika’s childlike form, he reluctantly agreed to let Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto each try a summon.

• Aikawa Kaze hesitated over the summoning when he sensed a soul resonating with the Queen of Curses, but Satoru Gojo urged him to continue.
• Yuta Okkotsu summoned the Queen of Curses, and Rika Orimoto emerged from her body as a rational Servant who recognized Yuta.
• Rika thanked Aikawa Kaze for bringing her back to Yuta, and he explained that she would lose her reason while fighting as the Queen of Curses but recover afterward.
• Yuta promised not to use the Queen of Curses, but Rika said she wanted to fight beside him, and Aikawa Kaze assured them she would regain her reason after battle.
• Aikawa Kaze warned Yuta and Rika to avoid inappropriate intimacy because Rika’s human form was still that of an eleven-year-old girl.
• Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto pressed Aikawa Kaze to perform more summons, and he agreed to let each of them try once.

After another failed attempt to summon Riko Amanai, Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo received memories from a parallel world that revealed their future fates. Shaken but eager to move forward, they challenged each other to a fight.

• Aikawa Kaze let Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo make one final summoning attempt with their blood, but the circle produced nothing.
• Aikawa Kaze left the two alone, thinking they were grieving over their failure to summon Riko Amanai.
• Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo realized they had received memories from a parallel world, including memories of each other's lives and deaths.
• Satoru Gojo struggled with memories of being cut in half by Sukuna, while Suguru Geto was horrified to learn that Brain had controlled his body.
• Suguru Geto mocked Satoru Gojo over his future defeat, and Satoru Gojo challenged him to a fight to help them both grow stronger.

Aikawa Kaze realized another World Consciousness might be hiding the truth about the worlds and trying to distract him from reaching it. He confronted the Detective World Consciousness, which admitted that its world was too fragile to withstand his interference.

• Aikawa Kaze used a Curtain to conceal the aftermath of Toji Fushiguro and Suguru Geto's fight from nearby residents.
• Aikawa Kaze reviewed the latest anime scenes and comments, which showed him manipulating Mahito and educating Suguru Geto.

• Aikawa Kaze deduced that another World Consciousness was concealing its existence and summoned the Detective World Consciousness.
• The Detective World Consciousness begged Aikawa Kaze for mercy and explained that its world could not withstand him messing around in it.

Aikawa Kaze used the contract’s terms to press the Detective World Consciousness for leave to visit another world. The consciousness explained why it feared his presence, but Aikawa still demanded his vacation, leaving the question of whether he would get one unresolved.

• Aikawa Kaze guessed that his past self had built a loophole into the contract and asked to use annual leave to travel to another world.
• When the Detective World Consciousness said he had not worked a full year, Aikawa requested compensatory leave instead and pointed out that refusing might violate their contract.
• The Detective World Consciousness said travel required its consent and a ticket, and admitted it feared letting Aikawa return because his power could shatter its low-magic world.
• It explained that Aikawa’s growing closeness to Shinichi and Ayumi had made it fear he might be drawn into danger and awaken his power.
• Aikawa accepted that the explanation might be true but suspected details were still withheld, then demanded his vacation in another world.

Aikawa Kaze struck a deal with the Detective World Consciousness to locate and eliminate the Jujutsu Kaisen World Consciousness in exchange for letting it manage the merged world. After realizing he needed a way to seal space, he woke from a chaotic dream and decided to keep Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto together to prevent history from repeating.

• Aikawa Kaze negotiated with the Detective World Consciousness, promising it management authority over the merged world if it helped destroy the Jujutsu Kaisen World Consciousness.
• The Detective World Consciousness agreed to pinpoint the Jujutsu Kaisen World Consciousness and seal the space it might use to escape.
• Aikawa Kaze realized that world consciousnesses survived by scattering fragments of themselves and transferring between planes, so eliminating one required sealing off its escape routes.
• Aikawa Kaze worried that he lacked a spatial sealing skill and spent the night dreaming about Brain, Sukuna, and other absurd anime characters.
• After waking, Aikawa Kaze classified Satoru Gojo as a rare protected animal and decided he and Suguru Geto would go everywhere together.

Aikawa Kaze sought advice on developing a finishing move for his abilities after a restless night. Enkidu suggested that Kaze explore his own origin using a ring and gemstone from his Four-Dimensional Pocket.

• Aikawa Kaze admitted he was struggling to develop a finishing move, and Megumi suggested concentrating multiple Heroic Spirits' abilities in himself as a Maximum Technique.

• Kaze summoned Enkidu from the Chains of Heaven and asked for advice about developing new moves.
• Enkidu urged Kaze to explore his origin and produced a ring and a gemstone from the Four-Dimensional Pocket.

Aikawa Kaze considered how emotional energy connected different powers and began exploring his Vision’s abilities. After supplying Enkidu with spirit power, he helped Enkidu manifest in a youthful human form, then prepared to send him to meet someone.

• Aikawa Kaze realized that powers across the absorbed worlds relied on emotional energy and decided to send Maki a ring that might help Mai control her cursed energy.
• Aikawa Kaze examined his Vision and began training with two Rabbit Escape bunnies to develop its spatial and underground-detection abilities.
• Enkidu felt a desire to manifest in human form, and Aikawa Kaze supplied him with a large amount of spirit power.
• Enkidu successfully used Shapeshifting to appear as a beautiful, androgynous boy, and Aikawa Kaze asked whether he wanted to meet a little friend.

Yuji Itadori brought Kaori Itadori to visit his dying grandfather, unaware that she planned to use the encounter to advance her schemes. Aikawa Kaze and Enkidu arrived as Wasuke Itadori gave Yuji his final advice, and Aikawa prepared to confront Kaori.

• Yuji Itadori happily walked with Kaori Itadori to visit Wasuke Itadori, believing she was his mother.
• Kaori Itadori recalled how she had regained power after Kenjaku's death and planned to use Yuji to awaken and strengthen him.
• A nurse announced that Wasuke Itadori was having a medical emergency, and Yuji rushed into his room as Kaori waited outside.
• Aikawa Kaze and Enkidu arrived at the hospital and found Kaori outside Wasuke Itadori's room.
• Aikawa let Wasuke deliver his final words to Yuji, then locked onto Kaori and spread invisible Geo through the surrounding space.

Aikawa Kaze and the detective world consciousness confronted Curse after Wasuke Itadori died, and Curse admitted to letting him die to avoid an upsetting meeting with Kaori Itadori. Yuji Itadori was devastated by the revelation, while Aikawa Kaze tried to stop him from blaming himself.

• Wasuke Itadori stopped breathing, and Curse entered the room as Kaori Itadori.
• Aikawa Kaze and the detective world consciousness confronted Curse, while Yuji tried to protect his mother and was restrained by Aikawa Kaze's Rock Seal.

• Aikawa Kaze condemned Curse for having no understanding of the human heart.

Aikawa Kaze and Enkidu cornered Curse in Kaori Itadori’s body, but she forced Sukuna’s Finger into Yuji Itadori to escape. Sukuna briefly manifested before retreating, leaving Curse’s plan in ruins and Aikawa wary of what Sukuna had learned.

• Aikawa Kaze released Yuji Itadori from the Rock Lock restraint, and Enkidu attacked Curse with the Chains of Heaven.
• Curse used the Anti-Gravity Cursed Technique to slow the chains while Aikawa raised a stone cage to trap her.
• Curse reversed gravity to escape the cage, then pleaded with Yuji for help and tricked him into swallowing Sukuna’s Finger.
• Sukuna briefly manifested in Yuji but withdrew before acting, and Little Ke explained that the sealed finger had been cut off from the others’ shared information.
• Curse was stunned when Sukuna refused to emerge, while Aikawa realized he had likely learned that something was wrong.

Aikawa Kaze defeated the Jujutsu Kaisen world consciousness and agreed to delay merging its world with the Detective World until after he dealt with Ryomen Sukuna. He then reassured Xiao Ke that its death sentence was suspended and wondered how to retrieve Sukuna’s finger from Yuji Itadori.

• Aikawa Kaze trapped Kaori Itadori in a rock cage, and Enkidu used his power to erase the Jujutsu Kaisen world consciousness residing inside her.
• Xiao Ke asked Aikawa Kaze to postpone the world merger until he had dealt with Ryomen Sukuna, fearing the danger Sukuna posed to its people.
• Aikawa Kaze agreed to delay the merger, and Xiao Ke resigned itself to finishing the preparations despite believing it would eventually die.
• Aikawa Kaze used Karna’s ability to confirm Xiao Ke meant its promise to work, then assured it that its death sentence was suspended.
• Aikawa Kaze looked at the unconscious Yuji Itadori and considered whether he could make Yuji spit up Sukuna’s finger.

Aikawa Kaze learned that Yuji Itadori’s consumed finger could not be removed without killing him, while Gojo, Geto, and Toji investigated Uraume’s network. In Kyoto, Sukuna decided to retrieve his corpse before Uraume summoned him to face Kaze.

• Shoko Ieiri told Aikawa Kaze that a cursed object merged with its host could not be extracted by physical means, and Kaze let Yuji Itadori handle his grandfather’s funeral.
• Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto agreed to pursue Ryomen Sukuna together after receiving memories that left them wary of acting alone.
• Gojo and Geto encountered Toji Fushiguro, who had traced Uraume’s ammunition supply through his black-market contacts to Kyoto.
• Uraume presented Sukuna with twelve of his fingers, and Sukuna chose to delay his summoning until Uraume retrieved his corpse.

Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, and Toji Fushiguro traced Uraume toward the place where Ryomen Sukuna's corpse was buried, while Aikawa Kaze advised Yuji Itadori to decide for himself whether to join Jujutsu Society. Kaze tracked Uraume through their phone and stalled them with a promised capture plan as he prepared to intercept them.

• Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto recognized a summoning circle at the abandoned hideout, and Toji Fushiguro recovered deleted search history that pointed them to Sukuna's burial village.

• Aikawa Kaze used the phone call to pinpoint Uraume's location and began describing six capture plans to keep Uraume talking while he prepared to intercept them.

• Uraume stalled Aikawa Kaze by discussing his plan until he reached Sukuna's buried corpse.
• Uraume made an excuse to delay Aikawa Kaze and began the summoning when Sukuna warned him that Aikawa Kaze was closing in.

• Satoru Gojo arrived with Suguru Geto and struck Sukuna with Hollow Technique: Purple before Sukuna noticed him.
• Satoru Gojo mocked and relentlessly attacked Sukuna while Suguru Geto watched from Rainbow Dragon, wondering if Gojo was taking revenge.

Aikawa Kaze tried to finish Ryomen Sukuna with Enkidu’s Chains of Heaven after Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto drew Sukuna’s attention. Uraume sacrificed Sukuna under a Binding Vow, but the attack instead revealed a parallel-world Sukuna occupying Megumi Fushiguro’s body.

• Aikawa Kaze told Suguru Geto to signal Satoru Gojo to retreat so he could seal Ryomen Sukuna himself.

• Aikawa Kaze summoned Enkidu to strike Sukuna with the Chains of Heaven, but Satoru Gojo sensed that something was wrong.

• A magic circle appeared where Sukuna vanished, revealing a black-haired Ryomen Sukuna who had taken over Megumi Fushiguro’s body.

Aikawa Kaze faced Ryomen Sukuna after Sukuna took Megumi Fushiguro’s body, and prepared Karna’s anti-divinity Noble Phantasm. The chapter left Kaze and Sukuna unleashing their ultimate attacks at the same time.

• Aikawa Kaze and Ryomen Sukuna attacked each other simultaneously with Vasavi Shakti and Space-Dimensional Slash.

Aikawa Kaze defeated Sukuna with his Noble Phantasm but passed out from the severe damage it caused, leaving his allies scrambling to keep him alive. Natsume stabilized him, and Toji Fushiguro brought Megumi and a newly tamed Round Deer to help heal him.

• Aikawa Kaze unleashed his Noble Phantasm on Sukuna, then collapsed from his injuries after confirming Sukuna had disappeared.
• Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto struggled to find a way to treat Kaze, and Mahito failed to heal him because his soul was too solid to affect.

• Toji Fushiguro found Megumi Fushiguro and directed him to summon and tame Round Deer, which could use Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Toji Fushiguro brought Megumi and Round Deer to Kaze, dragging the deer while it healed Megumi and itself during the trip.

• Aikawa Kaze woke to find Megumi Fushiguro, Natsume Takashi, and Megumi’s newly tamed Round Deer beside him.
• Megumi Fushiguro angrily confronted Kaze for recklessly fighting Sukuna, and Natsume advised Kaze to apologize and promise to be more careful.
