Sukuna tested whether he could protect someone inside Malevolent Shrine and discovered that he could spare Megumi and Megumi’s shikigami by adjusting the domain’s targeting.

• Megumi Fushiguro noticed that his cursed energy was being siphoned by invisible threads that reappeared whenever he severed them.
• Megumi Fushiguro explained the threads to Sukuna and realized the vanished door meant they had to find the special grade curse above.

• Five minutes later, Sukuna climbed swiftly up the wall using the method Megumi Fushiguro had shown him.

• Sukuna objected to the higher-ups sending Gojo into Shibuya alone and urged Itadori to leave his assigned team and help him.

• Uraume appeared at the stairway, and Sukuna recognized them by their appearance and greeted them as Uraume.
• Uraume’s heartbreak turned to delight when Sukuna addressed them as his lord.

Sukuna killed Mahito while he was trapped in Gojo's Unlimited Void, ruining Kenjaku's plans and leaving Gojo to realize that the man wearing Geto's body was not Geto. Sukuna then declared that Gojo and the Jujutsu Sorcerers under him were his to protect, leaving Kenjaku, Uraume, and Gojo stunned.

After Sukuna killed Mahito, he accidentally revealed his domain’s real name and learned that Gojo had been given a false one. Gojo confronted Kenjaku and Uraume over Sukuna’s Fingers, while Sukuna asked him to spare Uraume because they had been friends a thousand years earlier.

• Sukuna celebrated killing Mahito and revealed that his domain was called “Demon-Subduing Flame Hell Heaven,” prompting Kenjaku, Uraume, and Gojo to give different names for it.

• As he died, Jogo threw Sukuna’s fingers to Sukuna, who caught them while Kenjaku and Uraume watched.
• Gojo refused to take the fingers from Sukuna, and Sukuna awkwardly stored them while Itadori reassured him from the Inner World.

Uraume revealed that the being everyone thought was Sukuna was actually the little fox Sukuna had raised, and Sukuna recognized that his dreams and memories belonged to the fox. The chapter ended with Uraume demanding to know where the real Sukuna was.

• Uraume recognized that the figure before him was not Lord Sukuna and called him the little fox.
• Sukuna excitedly asked Uraume about the little fox he believed he had raised, but Uraume told him that he was the little fox.

• Uraume cited Sukuna's inability to eat spicy food as proof, recalling the chili chocolate incident.
• Sukuna asked where the real Sukuna was, and Uraume angrily demanded that he reveal what he had done with Lord Sukuna.

Kenjaku and Uraume gave Sukuna the fingers needed to revive the real Sukuna, and Uraume told him that Sukuna had crossed a thousand years for him because they were family. Sukuna wanted to meet him but refused to revive him during the Shibuya crisis, leaving Gojo with all twenty fingers as Gojo turned his attention to Kenjaku.

Kenjaku offered to return Suguru Geto's body and keep his cursed spirits contained if Gojo made Little Fox eat all of Sukuna's Fingers and resurrect the real Sukuna. Little Fox countered by demanding that Kenjaku never release any of his cursed spirits, leaving Gojo and Kenjaku stunned and Uraume furious.

• Gojo threatened Kenjaku but hesitated because killing him could unleash his cursed spirits.
• Kenjaku revealed that he controlled over a hundred thousand cursed spirits and warned Gojo against killing him.
