Back at Kyoto Jujutsu High, Miwa’s halting explanation caused panic before Mechamaru asked Itadori for the pizza restaurant link, leaving Itadori relieved and Mechamaru feeling guilty.

After learning that Megumi Fushiguro's unconscious older sister might be in danger from the Yasohachi Bridge curse, Itadori gathered details about the test of courage from Fujinuma. The group planned to enter the domain that night, while Sukuna worried about Megumi's sister and considered whether his Reverse Cursed Technique could help her.
