Chapter Summaries

Sukuna discovered that Tsumiki Fushiguro was slowly absorbing a concealed Special Grade Cursed Object, and told Megumi it could still be removed to stop her Incarnation. Megumi disabled the camera and asked Sukuna to operate immediately, leaving Sukuna overwhelmed by his appeal.

• Sukuna told Megumi that Tsumiki had a concealed Special Grade Cursed Object inside her and had absorbed about a tenth of it.
• Sukuna explained that removing the Cursed Object might stop Incarnation and allow Tsumiki to wake, though the higher-ups could execute her if they learned the truth.
• Megumi realized they needed to remove the object before Tsumiki absorbed the rest, but worried about moving her from the Jujutsu High hospital without arousing suspicion.
• Sukuna offered to cut out the object with Dismantle and heal Tsumiki with Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Megumi summoned Nue to disable the camera, then asked Sukuna to perform the operation immediately.
• Sukuna was swept up by Megumi's plea and prepared to help.

Sukuna removed the cursed object from Tsumiki and carefully left the forehead mark intact so Megumi Fushiguro could avoid suspicion. After discovering the object resembled a miniature heart, Sukuna accidentally burned it to ashes, leaving him unsure what to do.

• Sukuna opened Tsumiki's abdomen, removed the cursed object, and healed her without spilling blood.
• Sukuna removed the cursed energy inside Tsumiki while preserving enough to keep the red forehead mark visible.
• Megumi Fushiguro decided Tsumiki should wake naturally so Sukuna would not become an immediate suspect.
• Nobara noticed that the extracted cursed object looked like a miniature heart, and Sukuna flung it away in shock.
• Sukuna caught the cursed object with his still-burning hand, reducing it to ashes as Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara watched.

Megumi Fushiguro stayed by Tsumiki until she woke, then took her to the home Gojo had arranged. After Sukuna removed the mark on her forehead, Megumi realized someone might be creating incarnated vessels across the country and decided to tell Gojo privately.

• Megumi Fushiguro stayed at the hospital while Itadori and Kugisaki left, and Tsumiki woke the following afternoon.
• Itadori, Nobara, and Junpei rushed to the hospital and helped Megumi take Tsumiki to her new home.
• Sukuna examined Tsumiki and said he could not tell whether she was the one in control, so they would need Gojo to check with his Six Eyes.

• Megumi Fushiguro connected the marks on comatose people across the country to someone creating special grade incarnated vessels.
• Megumi refused to report the matter to the higher-ups and decided to tell Gojo privately, while Sukuna worried they would both have to work overtime.

Tsumiki woke from her year-long coma and reunited with Megumi, who learned that another soul was speaking inside her. When Sukuna introduced himself, the soul in Tsumiki suddenly recognized him and called out to him.

• Tsumiki woke up, and Megumi helped her drink water before she greeted him as “Little Megumi.”

• Sukuna asked Tsumiki if she heard a voice inside her head, and she confirmed that a woman’s voice had been speaking to her.
• Megumi introduced Nobara, Junpei, and Sukuna to Tsumiki, and Sukuna explained that two souls shared his body and that Tsumiki had another soul inside her.
• A mouth appeared on Tsumiki’s face and excitedly called out to Sukuna, leaving him stunned that the soul seemed to know him.

Tsumiki woke to find a mouth on her face, which claimed to be Sukuna’s future wife and said she had become a cursed object to find him a thousand years later. After Sukuna realized she was trying to trick him into marriage, he set that aside and asked what he had been like in the past.

• Megumi reassured Tsumiki after a mouth appeared on her face.
• The mouth recognized Sukuna and claimed she was his wife, then forgot her own name.
• Sukuna suspected the mouth was trying to trick him into marriage, and it fell silent under his threat.
• The mouth said she had become a cursed object to find Sukuna after hearing he had done the same.
• Sukuna refused to discuss marriage and asked the mouth what he had been like a thousand years ago.

Sukuna asked Uraume what he had looked like a thousand years ago, and her memories reassured him that his human self had been beautiful and better-looking than Megumi Fushiguro. Uraume remembered her name and again demanded marriage, then mistook Tsumiki for Sukuna’s lover before he called her his sister, prompting Uraume to call herself his sister-in-law.

• Uraume recalled first seeing the sixteen-year-old Sukuna, whose beauty and power made her dream of marrying him.
• Sukuna showed Uraume a drawing of the Special Grade Curse, and she called it hideous, easing his fears about his former appearance.
• Uraume said Sukuna was better-looking than Megumi Fushiguro, then remembered that her name was Uraume and that she had been treated as an honored guest by the emperor.
• Uraume urged Sukuna to register their marriage, but he refused, and she accused him of having a lover.
• Uraume asked whether Tsumiki was Sukuna’s lover, and Sukuna insisted that Tsumiki was his sister.
• Uraume quietly asked if that made her Sukuna’s sister-in-law, leaving Sukuna, Megumi Fushiguro, and Tsumiki stunned.

Sukuna questioned Yorozu about his past, learning about his attendant Uraume and mourning a little fox he remembered from his dreams. Over dinner, Yorozu complained that she could not take over her vessel, and Sukuna blamed the person who had made their arrangement before lecturing her not to kill.

• Sukuna asked Yorozu about his family and Uraume, but she remembered little beyond Uraume being his attendant and a good cook.
• Sukuna asked about the snow-white fox from his dreams, and Yorozu said she did not remember him keeping one.
• Itadori comforted Sukuna by suggesting they could get a puppy or a cat someday.
• Sukuna, Yorozu, Megumi Fushiguro, and Tsumiki ate takeout together while Yorozu told Sukuna she could not take over her vessel.
• Yorozu said the person who arranged her incarnation had promised she could take over, but she could not remember the Binding Vow they had made.
• Sukuna blamed that person for tricking Yorozu, then told her she could beat him up but could not kill him.

Sukuna helped Megumi Fushiguro and Uraume agree on rules for her appearances in exchange for sweets, while Tsumiki stopped Uraume from bullying Megumi. The next morning, Megumi complained to Sukuna about Uraume, prompting Sukuna to insist that she was not his wife.

• Uraume questioned how much Sukuna's personality had changed, and he said that time and modern life had changed him and warned her not to kill anyone.
• Sukuna suggested Megumi Fushiguro buy Uraume sweets, and Megumi offered to do so if she agreed not to appear on Tsumiki unexpectedly.
• Uraume agreed to limit her appearances, and Megumi became her frequent errand runner.
• Tsumiki threatened to die rather than let Uraume mistreat Megumi, reminding Uraume that Tsumiki's death would prevent her from seeing Sukuna again.
• Uraume stopped ordering Megumi around, and the exhausted Megumi felt relieved when he returned home.
• The next morning, Megumi complained to Sukuna about Uraume, and Sukuna objected to being called her husband.

Megumi Fushiguro worried about Tsumiki’s safety after she gained cursed energy, but she chose to avoid becoming a sorcerer and learn basic self-defense instead. When Gojo returned, Megumi discovered Tsumiki had joined his class at Jujutsu High, while Gojo looked forward to seeing Uraume and Sukuna together.

• Sukuna used Reverse Cursed Technique to restore an exhausted Megumi Fushiguro, who worried about Tsumiki’s outing with Uraume.
• Tsumiki and Uraume reconciled during a shopping spree funded by Megumi’s savings, and Tsumiki discovered she had gained cursed energy.
• After watching Megumi fight a Grade 2 curse, Tsumiki decided not to become a Jujutsu Sorcerer and asked Megumi to teach her self-defense.
• Three days later, Gojo returned and Megumi discovered that Tsumiki had enrolled in his Jujutsu High class.
• Gojo explained that Jujutsu High would keep Tsumiki safe, and Megumi reluctantly accepted her placement in his class.

Sukuna dreaded Tsumiki joining his class because he feared Uraume would appear and propose to him, but Gojo explained that bringing Tsumiki to Jujutsu High was necessary to protect her. With Gojo back, Sukuna decided he could safely eat the finger from Yasohachi Bridge and sleep until he felt ready to wake up.

• Tsumiki visited the classroom to complete her enrollment paperwork, and Sukuna worried that Uraume would come looking for him.
• Sukuna, Itadori, and Megumi Fushiguro learned that Tsumiki would start attending their class the following Monday and despaired at the news.
• At dinner on Sunday, Gojo explained that Tsumiki had to be brought to Jujutsu High for her safety, and Sukuna accepted that she had to join their class.
• Sukuna remembered the finger from Yasohachi Bridge and told Itadori to eat it, deciding that Gojo could handle Uraume while he slept.
• Sukuna said he might sleep until he felt ready to wake up, and Itadori feared he would never wake again.

Sukuna and Gojo discussed Sukuna’s emerging memories and the Cursed Objects hidden inside other people. Gojo asked for Sukuna’s help removing them, leaving Sukuna worried that he would have to work overtime.

• Sukuna asked Gojo whether he had put Tsumiki in their class to watch the drama, and Gojo denied it.

After Itadori swallowed another Finger, Sukuna experienced a memory of a blood-soaked battlefield and saw his thousand-year-old self mortally wounded. The vision ended just as Sukuna rushed to save him, leaving Sukuna shaken back in his innate domain.

• Itadori washed the Finger and swallowed it after Sukuna urged him to do so.
• Sukuna found himself rushing through a dark forest, following an overwhelming scent of blood.
• Sukuna emerged into a clearing filled with corpses and recognized the battlefield as a horrific scene from his past.
• Sukuna saw his wounded ancient self slumped against a tree, and the figure told him not to be afraid.
• Sukuna rushed to save the dying figure, but the memory shattered and dropped him into darkness.
• Sukuna awoke in his innate domain, trembling and struggling to breathe.

After a disturbing dream of his dying, hate-filled past, Sukuna faced a sphere containing his forgotten memories and chose not to recover them. He returned to Yuji, determined to keep their present life and eventually disappear without hurting him.

• Sukuna woke from a vivid dream of corpses and his own near-death, then wondered what had happened to him a thousand years earlier.
• Sukuna found a vast sphere of light in his innate domain and recognized it as the source of his forgotten memories.
• Sukuna feared that recovering his memories would bring his past hatred into his life with Yuji and the others, so he let the sphere vanish from sight.
• Sukuna decided to find all the Fingers with Yuji and then disappear without hurting him, leaving his old memories behind.
• Sukuna called out to Yuji, whose delighted reply warmed him and strengthened his resolve not to recover his memories.

Sukuna panicked when Uraume stopped seeking him out, then learned Tsumiki had somehow made her behave. He planned to test whether Uraume would still pursue him if he switched places with Itadori.

• Itadori told Sukuna that Uraume had spent two days quietly attending Megumi Fushiguro's history classes without asking about him.
• Sukuna feared Uraume was secretly plotting, and he and Itadori worried over what her silence meant.
• Sukuna decided to face Uraume, but Itadori reminded him that he could not hit her while she was using Tsumiki's body.
• At school, Sukuna found that Uraume still had not approached him, so he asked Nobara and Junpei to investigate.
• Megumi Fushiguro said Tsumiki had probably done something to change Uraume's behavior, though he did not know what.
• Sukuna resolved to enjoy the peace and test whether Uraume would pursue him if he switched out.

Sukuna approached Tsumiki and discovered that Uraume had stopped pursuing him, leaving him relieved but unexpectedly disappointed. Tsumiki’s plan to distract Uraume with romance novels worked, and she began plotting to find Uraume new interests.

• Sukuna asked Tsumiki how she was and accepted her invitation to a meal with everyone.
• Tsumiki let Uraume speak through her hand, and Uraume calmly told Sukuna she was doing well and asked how he was.
• Sukuna realized Uraume had stopped acting like his fan and felt both upset and relieved.
• Tsumiki’s Inner World revealed that she had persuaded Uraume to stop chasing Sukuna for a week and read domineering-CEO romance novels instead.
• Uraume became absorbed in the novels, while Tsumiki planned to get her interested in celebrities and idols next.

Tsumiki hosted Sukuna and the others for a home-cooked dinner, where Sukuna joked with the group and reflected on memories recovered from eating a Finger. He concealed his role in Uraume’s injuries when he mentioned a classified mission, then nervously accepted more soup from Megumi.

• Tsumiki cooked dinner while Megumi helped in the kitchen, and Sukuna, Nobara, and Junpei teased Megumi about making a wonderful wife.
• The group enjoyed Tsumiki’s home cooking, while Junpei resolved to help his mother more and Megumi silently planned to beat the others up.
• Uraume asked Sukuna whether his tastes had changed, and Sukuna claimed modern sweet food was better as Uraume privately celebrated their shared interest.
• Megumi asked Sukuna whether eating a Finger had brought back memories, and Sukuna admitted he remembered a little but did not want to discuss it.
• Sukuna cheered up by boasting that he had finally seen his handsome original face, embarrassing everyone, including Itadori inside the Inner World.
• Sukuna nearly revealed that he was helping Gojo with the Incarnation, but Itadori warned him, so Sukuna called it a classified mission and accepted another bowl of miso soup from Megumi.

Sukuna learned that 376 marked patients needed treatment and began removing cursed objects from a group of twenty at Gojo’s mansion. While treating them, Sukuna realized he might know how to make cursed objects—and wondered if he could turn himself into one and leave Yuji’s body.

• Gojo told Sukuna that 376 unconscious people bore marks and brought twenty patients to his mansion for treatment.
• Sukuna reluctantly began removing cursed objects from the patients and healing them with Reverse Cursed Technique.
• Gojo asked how Sukuna could detect cursed objects, and Sukuna said he could make them too, perhaps even his own Finger cursed objects.
• Sukuna realized he might be able to turn himself into a cursed object and leave Yuji’s body without dragging him down.

Sukuna and Gojo examined twenty unconscious people and found that only seven had swallowed cursed objects, while the other thirteen bore marks and had cursed techniques engraved in their brains. Gojo realized someone was converting ordinary people into sorcerers on a large scale, possibly involving Mahito and the followers of a man he had killed; as he rested, Sukuna reached toward his shoulder.

• Sukuna removed a cursed object from one man and discovered that the man had only a mark, not a cursed object or evidence of incarnation.
• Sukuna and Gojo examined all twenty people and confirmed that seven had cursed objects while thirteen had only marks.
• Sukuna removed and burned the cursed objects from the seven people as Gojo investigated the marked group.
• Gojo discovered that the thirteen non-sorcerers had cursed techniques engraved in their brains and could become sorcerers if their brains were altered.
• Gojo connected the method to Junpei Yoshino and suspected Mahito was involved, but believed someone else was orchestrating the widespread creation of sorcerers.
• Gojo wondered whether followers of the man he had killed were behind the scheme, then rested as Sukuna reached toward his shoulder.

Sukuna and Gojo worked together to remove special grade cursed objects from the incarnated vessels, while Gojo arranged to erase the marks on other people later. Their efforts destroyed over a hundred of Kenjaku’s collected objects, leaving his planned Culling Game with very few pieces remaining.

• Sukuna healed Gojo with Reverse Cursed Technique, and Gojo explained that they should erase the marks of people who had not swallowed cursed objects.
• Gojo agreed to handle the incarnated vessels after Sukuna removed their cursed objects, and Sukuna performed the operations over the next week.
• Sukuna extracted and burned the special grade cursed objects from the remaining 128 people, then collapsed and asked Gojo for a Manchu-Han imperial feast.
• A curse monitoring the marked humans noticed that over a hundred people had disappeared but decided not to tell its master, who was busy preparing for the Shibuya sealing.
• The monitoring curse failed to realize that Sukuna had destroyed the special grade cursed objects Kenjaku had collected for the Culling Game.

After finishing a week of work dealing with incarnated vessels, Sukuna joined Itadori and their friends for a day at the amusement park. Sukuna enjoyed the rides and food, while Itadori bore the brunt of Sukuna’s excitement and ended the morning exhausted.

• Sukuna agreed to go to the amusement park with Itadori, Kugisaki, Junpei, Megumi Fushiguro, and Tsumiki.
• Itadori rode a roller coaster and a drop tower for Sukuna, who screamed with excitement inside their Inner World.

• Sukuna learned that Uraume also liked the coffee and compared their tastes in desserts.
