Prophecy

"Inumaki!"

Hearing "spicy cod roe," Itadori looked down and spotted Toge Inumaki holding a megaphone.

"Salmon."

Toge Inumaki flashed a peace sign.

Just then.

The Communication Puppet on him spoke: "Itadori, give Inumaki one of your Communication Puppets."

"Kaneki!"

At the sound of that voice.

Yuji Itadori looked stunned, then overjoyed. "You're okay?"

"Yeah."

Ken Kaneki answered, "Still alive for now."

Then.

Itadori took out one of the two Communication Puppets Kokichi had asked him to retrieve from his pocket and tossed it to Toge Inumaki.

"How do you know Mechamaru?"

"About that..." Ken Kaneki replied, "I'll tell you the next time we meet."

With that.

He cut off the connection without waiting for a reply.

Afterward, Itadori called out several times, but Kaneki never answered. His face fell.

Soon...

He pulled himself together again.

Gojo was still waiting for him to come to the rescue!

Yuji Itadori charged back into the fray and ran into Choso, who was seeking revenge for his younger brothers.

At that moment, Choso.

Still didn't know that Itadori, standing before him, was also his younger brother.

After a fierce fight.

Yuji Itadori was beaten to the ground and knocked out cold, just as in the original story.

At that moment.

A memory that had never happened surfaced in Choso's mind.

In that memory.

He sat at the head of the table, while Itadori, Eso, and Kechizu sat beside him, chatting freely.

Besides the sumptuous food on the table.

There were his other six younger brothers, still cursed wombs.

As Choso withdrew into himself, the two girls, Mimiko and Nanako, approached Yuji Itadori.

"Found you..."

Yuji Itadori.

Just then.

The Communication Puppet on Yuji Itadori's chest spoke as well: "You've finally arrived."

Meanwhile.

Kento Nanami, Naobito Zenin, and Maki Zenin encountered the octopus-like cursed womb.

At the sight.

Kento Nanami froze for a moment.

That single second of hesitation was enough for Naobito Zenin to activate his technique and flatten Dagon.

Dagon became two-dimensional, like a photograph or a mirror.

Naobito Zenin looked at the other two and smiled. "Nanami, this is no time to space out..."

With that.

He punched the flattened Dagon and sent him flying.

Dagon slammed into a support pillar, leaving a massive crater in it.

After a series of whimpers.

Dagon opened his mouth and spat out a mass of skeletal remains.

All human.

Then Dagon called out for Jogo, Mahito, and Hanami, the power of their bond transforming him into his fully developed form.

His appearance became more human.

He even grew powerful limbs.

His face still closely resembled an octopus, and a pair of black wings sprouted from the back of his hips.

He declared to everyone that he had a name.

His name was Dagon!

Everything unfolding before them.

Confirmed what Ken Kaneki had said.

Remembering that this cursed spirit would also expand a domain, Nanami instinctively wanted to kill him before he could do so.

But during that moment of hesitation.

Dagon successfully expanded his domain, trapping all three of them inside.

"Nanami."

"Just what are you thinking?!"

Naobito Zenin immediately deployed Falling Blossom Emotion to counter the domain's sure-hit effect.

As his words fell.

Dagon's shikigami sank their teeth into Kento Nanami.

Only Maki Zenin, who had almost no cursed energy, remained unharmed.

At that moment.

Nanami had no time left to think.

He immediately shouted out the countermeasure.

That countermeasure was to rely on Maki Zenin, who had almost no cursed energy, to knock down every shikigami that attacked!

As soon as they clashed.

Maki was forced onto the defensive.

Watching everything unfold, Nanami couldn't figure out who was supposed to kill the cursed spirit.

Looking around.

There was no one capable of defeating the special grade cursed spirit-Dagon!

At that critical moment.

A huge mass of shadow invaded Dagon's domain, spreading over the surface of the sea.

Megumi Fushiguro stood atop the shadows.

He manipulated them to deliver the Special Grade Cursed Tool, Playful Cloud, into Maki Zenin's hands.

At Megumi Fushiguro's arrival.

Kento Nanami froze for another instant.

But he quickly realized that Megumi Fushiguro wasn't strong enough to kill Dagon.

It wasn't him!

With Playful Cloud's help.

Maki Zenin managed to trade blows with Dagon, seemingly holding her own.

But soon.

She began to lose ground.

Naobito Zenin even lost an arm.

Then Nanami heard that Megumi Fushiguro could open a hole in Dagon's domain.

He instantly understood their way out.

Trust him?

Or...

Get everyone to run together?

In an instant, Nanami made his decision. He chose to trust Ken Kaneki and asked Megumi Fushiguro to open a hole in the domain.

Even if they ran together.

He didn't believe they could all escape.

He could only trust him!

The moment the opening appeared, the first Heavenly Tyrant-the one who could truly kill Dagon-

Toji Fushiguro made his entrance!

He entered the domain with an unrestrained grin.

In the blink of an eye.

He appeared beside Maki Zenin and forcibly snatched Playful Cloud from her hands.

An exploit in the Séance Technique had turned Toji Fushiguro into a puppet of slaughter.

His killing intent.

Was always directed solely at the strong!

He locked onto Dagon, the strongest one present.

Seeing them begin to fight, Kento Nanami instructed the others, "Once this man kills the cursed spirit and the domain disappears, we follow him immediately."

"Wherever he goes, we go!"

"We have to be quick!"

At his words.

Megumi Fushiguro and Maki Zenin looked confused, but they still nodded in agreement.

Mr. Nanami...

Was he really that certain this man could kill this special grade cursed spirit?

What followed.

Was a flawless feast of slaughter performed by Toji Fushiguro before their eyes.

Every move he made was meant to kill.

No matter where he struck.

He targeted only vital points.

When he sharpened Playful Cloud and drove it straight through Dagon's head, the battle was all but over.

Like a killing machine.

He kept swinging Playful Cloud, savagely driving it into Dagon's head again and again!

He even.

Swung it fast enough to leave afterimages.

The moment Dagon died and the domain vanished, all four of them snapped to attention, watching Toji intently.

Crash!

The glass shattered.

Megumi Fushiguro was dragged outside by Toji so quickly that the other three hadn't even reacted.

"After him!"

Kento Nanami's expression changed drastically.

As he spoke, all three rushed outside, sensing a cursed spirit even stronger than Dagon appear behind them.

Jogo!

The moment the three of them emerged.

Jogo finished mourning Dagon and immediately chased after them, intent on killing them.

Sensing Jogo's power.

All three broke into a cold sweat.

Only Toji Fushiguro glanced at Megumi Fushiguro, then met Jogo with a grin and attacked first, saving the three of them.

Once they were far away from the two combatants.

Maki Zenin finally spoke. "Old man."

"Who is he?"

She knew Toji Fushiguro was very similar to her.

She had almost no cursed energy, while Toji Fushiguro had none at all.

"A ghost."

Naobito Zenin answered.

Just then.

The Communication Puppet Kento Nanami had kept with him spoke: "His name is Toji Fushiguro."

"He's Megumi Fushiguro's father."

At those words.

Megumi Fushiguro froze on the spot.

Nanami's expression was grave as he said, "Kaneki, he won't be able to hold out much longer."

Now.

Toji Fushiguro, nothing more than a killing puppet, was no match for Jogo.

The moment they clashed.

He was at a disadvantage.

"Don't worry," Kaneki reassured them. "Jogo is about to leave."

No sooner had he spoken.

An overwhelmingly powerful aura swept through all of Shibuya.

That aura.

Was Sukuna's Finger!
