• Yuanfang understood that Yuki Tsukumo wanted him to use his Cursed Technique to remove the stored Cursed Energy.

In 2018, Yuanfang supervised Megumi Fushiguro and helped Yuki Tsukumo test her plan to prevent powerful cursed spirits from forming by absorbing special Curtains. Yuki discovered the plan showed promise, but concluded it would require Yuanfang to have children with the same cursed technique, leaving her wondering whether she would have to force him.

• Yuki expanded and shattered ten special Curtains, and Yuanfang absorbed the vast amounts of cursed energy they released.
• Yuki explained that she had only made ten Curtains because each required an expensive jade tablet, disappointing Yuanfang, who had hoped to absorb more.
• After Yuanfang left, Yuki observed cursed energy rising from underground and decided that placing Curtains where it accumulated could prevent terrifying cursed spirits from forming.
• Yuki concluded that her plan would need more people with Yuanfang's special cursed technique and wondered whether she would have to force him to have children.

Yuji Itadori’s grandfather died after urging him to save people, and Yuji rushed to his school with Megumi Fushiguro to rescue his upperclasswomen. After Yuji swallowed Sukuna’s Finger and regained control of his body, Yuanfang asked him to let Sukuna take over for five seconds.

Yuanfang sent Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki to exorcise curses in an abandoned building, then secretly followed them to make sure they stayed safe. After rescuing Nobara Kugisaki and a child from a curse, Yuanfang left to take the child home, while Nobara Kugisaki asked whether he had a girlfriend.

• In Mei Mei’s sports car, Yuanfang learned their target was a Special Grade cursed spirit in Okinawa, and he questioned why Mei Mei did not bring her younger brother Ui Ui.

In July 2018, Yuanfang and the first-year students entered Eishu Juvenile Detention Center to find survivors trapped with a special grade cursed spirit. They found the victims and confronted the spirit, and as Yuanfang prepared to hold it off, Itadori volunteered to stay and release Sukuna if necessary.

• Ijichi briefed Yuanfang, Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Kugisaki on the cursed womb and warned them to flee if they encountered a special grade.

• Yuanfang held off the first cursed spirit so Itadori, Kugisaki, and Megumi Fushiguro could escape, but another reddish-brown cursed spirit appeared beside them.

• Yuanfang sensed Sukuna’s cursed energy at the plaza and found Sukuna had killed another cursed spirit and swallowed its Finger.
• Sukuna could not switch out of Itadori’s body, so he removed his heart and threatened that Itadori would die if he took over again.
• Sukuna attacked Yuanfang with the power of three Fingers, overpowering him as Yuanfang continued absorbing Sukuna’s cursed energy.

Yuanfang carried Itadori’s apparently lifeless body out after Sukuna lost control, then joined the grieving students at Jujutsu High. As the school invited Megumi Fushiguro and Kugisaki to the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event, Kugisaki agreed only if Yuanfang trained her.

• Itadori regained control before Sukuna could unleash Malevolent Shrine, then collapsed after coughing up blood.

• Itadori's chest wound disappeared, and he revived in front of Satoru Gojo, Shoko Ieiri, and Ijichi.

Kenjaku set the plan to seal Satoru Gojo in Shibuya for October 31 and learned that Mahito wanted to eliminate Yuanfang, whose technique could nullify cursed techniques but could not stop physical attacks. At the Goodwill Event, Todo fought Megumi Fushiguro and then Yuanfang, until Satoru Gojo intervened.

• Todo and Yuanfang fought as Panda, Maki, and Toge Inumaki watched, until Satoru Gojo appeared and halted their attacks.

After a jealous exchange among his classmates, Yuanfang followed the cursed energy of Sukuna's Finger, suspecting Mahito had laid a trap. He took the finger from a woman, then doubled back to investigate as Mahito came after him.

• Mai asked Yuanfang for his contact details to provoke Maki and Kugisaki, and Yuanfang agreed while keeping his distance.
• Kugisaki asked if Yuanfang liked Mai, and he said they were only fellow students exchanging contact details.

• Yuanfang concealed himself with his domain and doubled back, while Mahito and Kenjaku watched from a rooftop and discussed their plans.
• Mahito pursued Yuanfang and attacked with a spiked club, but Yuanfang dodged and countered with a punch.

• Mahito warped his body to evade Yuanfang’s punch, struck him with a spiked club, and transformed his legs to continue the fight.

• Yuanfang smiled and announced that he could still use Reverse Cursed Technique.
