Satoru Gojo and Shoko discussed the higher-ups’ past efforts to isolate Geto and suppress the school, while Gojo hoped Sherlock could help prevent another loss.

• Satoru Gojo jumped out the window with the box, and Sherlock fell to his knees and cried out in despair.

Satoru Gojo unknowingly sent Sherlock’s collection to a fan festival production company, which mistook the contents for an invitation to Gojo. When the organizers arrived at Jujutsu High, the misunderstanding sparked a fight between Gojo and Sherlock, while Shoko hinted to Utahime that Gojo was making his debut.

• Satoru Gojo took Sherlock’s box to the Gojo Clan to return Sayafushi and find a Cursed Tool pouch for Sherlock’s ice picks, and a clan member mistook Sherlock’s collection for a hint and secretly sent an invitation with Gojo’s details to a production company.

Jujutsu Headquarters ordered Satoru Gojo and Sherlock to take missions together, hoping the dangerous arrangement would stunt Sherlock’s growth and drive a wedge between them.

• Sherlock leaped at Gojo and tried to bite his head, but Limitless stopped him, and Gojo left the infirmary with Sherlock still hanging from him.

Sherlock complained to Gojo about their punishing work schedule and the Higher-Ups’ vague mission briefings, but Gojo explained that his work also involved Curse Users and other disturbing threats. Gojo, Sherlock, and Ijichi then set off for a mission, with Sherlock already waiting in the car before Ijichi noticed him.

• Sherlock told Gojo that the long workweek and inadequate mission intel amounted to exploitation, while Gojo brushed off his complaints and promised to show him what his missions were really like.
