Yuji Itadori's training began in earnest. After pulling out a pile of bizarre movies, Satoru Gojo turned around and produced an ugly-cute doll.
A snot bubble hung from its nose. It was clearly fast asleep.
But Itadori was astonished that it was actually alive!
Could this be something that principal with the sunglasses just made... uh, was it called a cursed corpse?
Satoru Gojo casually tossed it over, and the doll landed lightly in Itadori's arms.

"You have to keep the output as steady as possible. A little more or a little less is absolutely~ not allowed!"
Hearing that, Itadori climbed off the
