• Chinatsu explained that Kenjaku opened a domain, her Simple Domain quickly failed, and she responded by opening her own domain, leaving Satoru Gojo stunned.

Outside Mirror Flower, Water Moon, Suguru Geto and Shoko Ieiri examined the domain while Satoru Gojo struggled inside it.

• Chinatsu found Nanako bound with hemp rope and Mimiko unable to move, then asked what the two girls were doing.

Meanwhile, Satoru Gojo tried to build on his experience with Chinatsu’s domain, and Shoko urged Suguru Geto to pursue a Maximum Technique instead of a Domain Expansion.

After recovering from her injuries, Kenjaku planned to gather powerful cursed spirits and Sukuna’s Fingers while evading the sorcerers monitoring her. Mei Mei lost her crow’s surveillance but reported Kenjaku’s location to Chinatsu and decided to focus on the assignment.

• Chinatsu warned Mei Mei not to let her guard down while pursuing Kenjaku, then resolved to carve out a future that suited her.
• Over several days, Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo trained together at Jujutsu High, using each other's domains to improve their understanding.
• On the sixth day, Satoru Gojo first expanded Unlimited Void, and his domain clashed with Chinatsu's Mirror Flower, Water Moon until both shattered.
• Chinatsu attempted to deploy Mirror Flower, Water Moon without a barrier, but the unstable domain dissolved after about half a minute.
• Chinatsu told Satoru Gojo they had to become strong enough to overcome any future danger, and he agreed to keep striving forward.

Eight years later, Chinatsu had become the Gojo Clan’s clan head while Kenjaku gathered Sukuna’s Fingers, and she balanced her jujutsu duties with an ordinary friendship with Kana. When Nanako and Mimiko encountered an enormous cursed spirit at their school, they prepared to hold it off until Chinatsu arrived.

• Nanako took out her phone while Mimiko pulled out a long rope, and the girls prepared to protect people until Chinatsu arrived.

Nanako and Mimiko distracted an upper-grade 1 cursed spirit while Chinatsu rescued the students it had swallowed and destroyed it. After praising the girls, Chinatsu continued to heal the students, while Masamichi Yaga received yet another leave request from her.

• Chinatsu healed the injured students and destroyed the cursed spirit with Blue while Nanako and Mimiko watched in awe.
• Masamichi Yaga filed Chinatsu's leave request in a drawer already packed with similar applications.

After Chinatsu called the Jujutsu Society’s Aftermath Department to handle the cursed spirit’s attack at the junior high, she left with Nanako and Mimiko. Nanako and Mimiko looked forward to growing stronger at Jujutsu High, where Chinatsu said their year would have several students, including Yuta Okkotsu, whom she had already contacted to prevent a tragedy.

• Nanako asked Chinatsu whether Jujutsu High would help them become stronger, and Chinatsu reassured her that she would have like-minded classmates.
• Mimiko worried that their year might have only one classmate, so Chinatsu promised there would be several and recalled contacting Yuta Okkotsu years earlier to prevent a tragedy.

Chinatsu repeatedly failed at stalking before tracking Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto to prevent Rika’s predicted fatal accident. She followed the childhood friends through the streets, determined to keep Rika safe.

• Masamichi Yaga found another leave request from Chinatsu and called Satoru Gojo to cover for her.
• Satoru Gojo used Teleportation to reach a dessert shop instead of bringing Chinatsu back.
• Chinatsu’s attempts to follow people without a disguise and then in an elaborate outfit both failed, and she escaped the police using Teleportation.
• Chinatsu began following Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto, intending to prevent the accident that would kill Rika and bind her soul to Yuta.
• Yuta sensed someone following them, but he and Rika continued walking hand in hand as Chinatsu watched their route.

Yuta Okkotsu and Rika walked to school, where a speeding car nearly struck Rika and triggered Yuta’s cursed energy to awaken. Chinatsu Gojo appeared with Rika safe behind Yuta and introduced herself.

• Yuta told Rika he was studying hard so they could attend the same middle school, while Rika encouraged him.
• Yuta described hearing strange sounds and seeing things that vanished, then failed to notice the traffic light turn green.

• Yuta feared Rika had been hit, and his despair caused his dormant cursed energy to surge as he crossed the threshold of awakening.
• Chinatsu Gojo appeared beside the unharmed Rika and introduced herself to Yuta.

Chinatsu explained jujutsu society to Yuta Okkotsu and Rika, then revealed their distant family connection through Sugawara no Michizane. Yuta accepted that he could not return to an ordinary life and chose to become strong enough to protect Rika, while Chinatsu promised to arrange future lessons.

• Chinatsu took Yuta Okkotsu and Rika to a fast-food restaurant and explained the hidden world of jujutsu.

• Chinatsu said Yuta could keep living normally with Rika until middle school graduation and offered to arrange a reliable jujutsu teacher.

• Chinatsu teleported Okkotsu and Rika from the fast-food restaurant to their school just before they would have been late.

• Okkotsu welcomed Suguru Geto as his teacher, eager to begin learning jujutsu.

• Suguru Geto recognized Yuta Okkotsu's exceptional talent and taught him precise cursed-energy control.
• After Yuta mastered an even flow of cursed energy, Suguru Geto made him train with cursed tools and battered him during their sparring sessions.
• When Yuta graduated from middle school, he left for Jujutsu High in uniform with the cursed-tool sword Suguru Geto had given him.
• Maki Zenin left her clan for Jujutsu High, Toge Inumaki departed his home, and Panda waited at the school gate.
• Chinatsu drove Nanako and Mimiko toward Jujutsu High, then accelerated after they asked her to go faster.

• Panda waited at the gate for his new classmates and reflected on the unusually large first-year class.
• Maki Zenin and Toge Inumaki arrived together, mistook Panda for an ordinary panda, and learned he was a cursed corpse.
• Yuta Okkotsu arrived with an immense aura of cursed energy and formally introduced himself, prompting Maki and Panda to put him at ease.
• Chinatsu drove a black sedan up to the school entrance and greeted the students.
• Nanako and Mimiko climbed out of the sedan but became dizzy and dropped to their knees in front of their classmates.

Chinatsu welcomed the new first-year students, handed out their student IDs, and noted Yuta’s exceptional Grade 1 rank. After discovering that Jujutsu High had fewer of Sukuna’s Fingers than expected, she suspected Kenjaku and Uraume would act soon; Kenjaku, meanwhile, hesitated as the cursed spirits pressed her to begin their plan.

• Chinatsu brought Maki, Toge Inumaki, Panda, Yuta Okkotsu, Nanako, and Mimiko into the classroom after easing Nanako and Mimiko’s motion sickness with Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Chinatsu explained the schools’ curriculum and the Sister-School Goodwill Event before distributing the students’ IDs.
• Maki received a Grade 4 rating, while Panda was Grade 3 and Nanako, Mimiko, and Toge Inumaki were Grade 2; Yuta Okkotsu was rated Grade 1.
• Chinatsu returned to her office and noticed that Jujutsu High had only three of Sukuna’s Fingers, leading her to suspect Kenjaku and Uraume were preparing to act.
• Kenjaku hesitated over whether to launch her plan as Jogo, Hanami, Dagon, Mahito, and Uraume watched, and Jogo demanded that she act.

Kenjaku explained that Yuji Itadori was an artificial vessel he had created for Sukuna, and the cursed spirits decided to abduct him and feed him Sukuna’s Fingers. As Hanami was sent to Itadori’s school, Itadori stunned his classmates and teacher by completing a fifty-meter sprint in five seconds.

• Jogo threatened Kenjaku for hesitating, but Hanami, Dagon, and Mahito calmed him down.
• Kenjaku began the plan to use Sukuna’s Finger and told the cursed spirits about Yuji Itadori, the artificial vessel he had created.
• The cursed spirits decided to send Hanami to Itadori’s school and force him to swallow Sukuna’s Fingers.
• Itadori sprinted past his classmates in PE, leaving the teacher staring at a five-second time.

• Yuji Itadori ran a five-second race, astonishing his PE teacher, who urged him to pursue sports; Itadori declined.
• Students told the new teacher that the previous PE teacher had spent two years trying and failing to persuade Itadori.
• After winning an after-school soccer match as a substitute, Itadori returned to the school to retrieve his bag and house key.
• Hanami confronted Itadori in a hallway, and he escaped by jumping from the third floor before vines caught and bound him.
• A red-eyed crow pierced Hanami's arm, and a silver-haired woman arrived and cut through the vines holding Itadori.
