Ch. 226A Cursed Spirit Little Fox Blessed by the Gods

Little Fox was born from the gods’ curses on immortality and chose to forget its past lives so it would not be overwhelmed by sorrow. After a thousand-year cycle, it gained a master and treasured the memories of their journey, keeping them instead of forgetting everything.

  • The gods formed a white cursed womb from their accumulated curses on life, and it became Little Fox, an immortal spirit that wished to grow into a Nine-Tailed Fox.
  • The gods warned Little Fox about immortality and offered to grant it a wish, so Little Fox asked to forget its past lives and avoid sadness.

Riko Amanai spent her final days before assimilation at school while Gojo, Geto, Kuroi Misato, and White Noroi protected her.

  • Toji Fushiguro stabbed White Noroi while attempting to ambush Gojo, and Sukuna took control of White Noroi’s body.
