Ken Kaneki and his allies broke the three overlapping domains, but the battle shifted when Uro arrived and recognized Kaneki as the sorcerer who had used Malevolent Shrine. She attacked him and Mahoraga, demanding to know what he had done to Sukuna.

• Mahoraga killed the distant archer, and the remaining three opponents deployed their domains before Kaneki could act.

• Sukuna attacked Kaneki with [Malevolent Shrine], but Gojo intercepted Sukuna's slashes and protected Kaneki as the bead formed a [Black Hole].
• Sukuna's domain sliced apart [Unlimited Void], and Gojo used [Simple Domain] to shield Kaneki while the [Black Hole] engulfed Sukuna and the surrounding barrier.
• After the domains dissipated, Gojo asked how Mahoraga had survived, and Kaneki explained that he had made Mahoraga adapt to Yuki Tsukumo's [Star Rage] in advance.

Ken Kaneki’s domain clash with Uraume ended in burnout, while Satoru Gojo and Sukuna continued fighting inside their domains. Kaneki prepared another attack as Mahoraga adapted to Unlimited Void and Uraume withdrew.

• Kaneki and Uraume expanded their domains, but Kaneki’s Dismantle struck Uraume and shattered his domain, allowing Unlimited Void to take effect.
