When Itadori finally arrived, the first thing he saw was Maki, suspended in midair by a branch from that special grade curse.
Almost instantly, fury and cursed energy surged through him. He charged over and shattered the branch with a vicious punch.
He glanced sideways out of the corner of his eye-Megumi Fushiguro was here too?!

"Itadori?"
Junpei's voice suddenly came from behind him.
