• Kamo Xu questioned the spirit and unleashed a torrent of cursed energy, declaring, “Found you, [curse]!!!”

Kamo Xu trapped the cursed spirit and held back, intending for Yuji Itadori to force Ryomen Sukuna to emerge. After Yuji swallowed Sukuna’s Finger and Sukuna took over his body, Kamo Xu punched the King of Curses into the floor for stealing his kill.

• Kamo Xu frightened the cursed spirit and confined it within a barrier, but decided to leave it to Yuji Itadori so Sukuna would appear.

• Half an hour later, Kamo Xu left the red-light district alone, and the frost-covered building collapsed behind him.

Kamo Xu wandered through Tokyo, searching his hazy memories for a powerful cursed spirit called Dai Tian while struggling with violent urges. At the same time, Itadori, Fushiguro, and Kugisaki entered the Juvenile Detention Center to rescue its trapped victims, only to be transported into a cursed spirit’s innate domain and lose their way out.

• Kamo Xu recalled a possible special grade cursed spirit named Dai Tian but could not remember where to find it.
• Ijichi warned Itadori, Fushiguro, and Kugisaki to flee if they encountered a special grade cursed spirit and sent them into the detention center to rescue the victims.

• The three first-years entered the detention center and found themselves in a vast, rust-covered space where their route back had vanished.
• Fushiguro identified the transformed surroundings as an innate domain and realized the entrance was gone.

Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro argued over whether a victim deserved saving, giving the cursed spirit time to attack and separate the students. Outside the Curtain, Ijichi recognized Kamo Xu approaching.

• Itadori identified A Zheng among the mangled victims and insisted they take his body back, but Fushiguro refused and revealed that Okazaki Tadashi had repeatedly committed crimes.
• Itadori challenged Fushiguro for saving him despite Ryomen Sukuna’s evil, and the two fought over their beliefs until Nobara Kugisaki tried to interrupt.

• Kugisaki found herself alone in darkness, surrounded by countless weak curses with pale, smiling faces.

• Kamo Xu confirmed Nobara Kugisaki and Megumi Fushiguro were safe and told them to withdraw while the adults handled the rest.

Kamo Xu found Yuji Itadori near death after Dai Tian’s attack, healed him, and prepared to fight the special grade cursed spirit. But Itadori misunderstood Megumi Fushiguro’s safety signal and summoned Ryomen Sukuna just as Kamo Xu faced Dai Tian.

• Kamo Xu healed Nobara Kugisaki and learned from Megumi Fushiguro that Yuji Itadori was fighting a special grade cursed spirit.
• Megumi Fushiguro gave Kamo Xu a direction, and Kamo Xu rushed toward Itadori while Megumi took Kugisaki to safety.
• Dai Tian battered Itadori, blasting off his left leg and leaving him near death.
• Kamo Xu broke through the wall, healed Itadori, and prepared to kill Dai Tian.
• Megumi Fushiguro’s wolf signal reached Itadori, who mistook it as a cue to summon Ryomen Sukuna after losing consciousness of his rescue.

• Kamo Xu used Piercing Blood to injure Dai Tian and demanded to know why cursed spirits hurt others without remorse.

• Kamo Xu repeatedly attacked Dai Tian with Piercing Blood while Sukuna watched and considered fleeing.
• Kamo Xu stopped Sukuna’s escape by throwing Dai Tian’s severed arm, then extracted Sukuna’s Finger from Dai Tian’s chest.

• Sukuna abandoned his defense and used Dismantle to slash Kamo Xu’s fist, causing blood to gush out and weakening the punch enough for Sukuna to survive.

• Kamo Xu restored his injured hand after Sukuna’s slash weakened his punch, while Sukuna celebrated finding a way to counter him.

Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki were caught in the expanding domains and endured Sukuna’s slashes as Kamo’s technique struggled to keep them alive.

• Sukuna used a binding vow to recover from cursed technique burnout and activated Malevolent Shrine as Kamo Xu expanded Desire-Sloth Truth-Seeking Vortex.

• Sukuna tore Yuji Itadori’s heart out and destroyed it, declaring that no one could stop him from leaving.

With his cursed energy and body nearly spent after saving everyone, Kamo Xu taunted Sukuna and reflected on his own weakness compared with Yuji Itadori. He swallowed one of Sukuna’s fingers, leaving Sukuna scrambling to retrieve it and fearing the risks of taking over Kamo Xu’s body.
