Chapter Summaries

In the days after the meteorite strikes, Wangchuan and Satoru Gojo discussed Suguru Geto’s body and the rumors that Wangchuan could resurrect the dead. Wangchuan expected Geto’s followers to seek him out, while Gojo privately weighed his wish to bring Geto back against respecting Geto’s choice to die.

• Satoru Gojo and Wangchuan watched a news report that blamed the ruined areas of Kyoto and Tokyo on meteorite impacts, and Gojo praised Wangchuan’s dramatic attack on the curses.
• Satoru Gojo told Wangchuan that he had handed Suguru Geto’s body to Geto’s family, including Nanako, Mimiko, Miguel, and the others who had followed him.
• Wangchuan reasoned that Geto’s followers would come to him after hearing he had resurrected Riko Amanai and Yu Haibara, and planned to negotiate a price for reviving Geto.
• Wangchuan told Satoru Gojo he would let him know if Geto’s followers contacted him, then left to see Yuta.
• Alone in the lounge, Satoru Gojo admitted to himself that he wanted Geto back but would not stop Geto’s family if they chose to seek his resurrection.

After Huojin’s death, Kenjaku’s group learned that Mu Xi could use her Cursed Technique to revive him by trading human lives or powerful sorcerers. They agreed to gather bargaining chips, while Kenjaku took a particular interest in Mu Xi’s technique.

• Kenjaku left while privately admiring Mu Xi’s Cursed Technique.

The Jujutsu Higher-Ups discussed Wangchuan’s ability to resurrect the dead and debated whether to approach, control, or attack him. A photograph of the devastation he caused in Kyoto left them confronting the danger of provoking him.

• An elder reported that Riko Amanai and Yu Haibara had been resurrected beside Satoru Gojo, and the Higher-Ups concluded that Wangchuan had used magic.

Wangchuan began a ritual to give Rika Orimoto a real body, using lunar soil to create a vessel for her soul. The light faded to reveal a living girl lying in the coffin.

• Okkotsu asked Wangchuan to help Rika return to her former self, and Wangchuan told him to call her out.
• Rika appeared as a childlike spirit and told Wangchuan she wanted to become real again.
• Wangchuan revealed his demon body and summoned a coffin containing a clay body made from lunar soil.
• Rika said goodbye to Okkotsu and entered the clay figure as Wangchuan performed the ritual.
• The clay figure transformed, and a living, breathing girl appeared in the coffin.

Wangchuan watched Rika awaken and reunite with Okkotsu, then arranged to meet Yuji and the Jujutsu Society higher-ups. With 32 Demon Coins saved, he decided to redeem another Demon template before visiting other worlds.

• Rika woke in her coffin and reunited with Okkotsu, who welcomed her back as they teased each other.
• Wangchuan answered Yuji Itadori's call and agreed to visit Sendai in a few days for a meal.
• Mei Mei told Wangchuan that Jujutsu Society higher-ups were seeking introductions and offering large sums for his resurrection services.
• Wangchuan agreed to meet the higher-ups the next day and heard that people outside Jujutsu Society were also asking about him.
• Wangchuan checked his panel, saw he had 32 Demon Coins, and considered redeeming another Demon template before visiting other worlds.

Wangchuan visited Uncle's Antique Shop, learned that its inventory expanded with his exploration, and considered buying the costly Encyclopedia of Spells. He asked the system for three demon templates suited to him and examined Basha, Hsi Wu, and Tchang Zu, leaving the choice unresolved.

• Wangchuan opened Uncle's Antique Shop and learned that exploring new worlds could unlock more items.
• Wangchuan learned that the Encyclopedia of Spells contained over 183,400 spells and cost 100 Demon Coins, so he decided to revisit it after collecting more templates.

• Wangchuan assessed Hsi Wu's control over the sky and atmospheric conditions as valuable for mobility and strategic support.
• Wangchuan examined Tchang Zu's lightning authority and noted its exceptional destructive power and ability to counter curses and spiritual entities.

• Wangchuan redeemed the Shendu, Basha, and Hsi Wu templates, leaving him with two Demon Coins and several new cursed techniques.

• Masamichi Yaga told Wangchuan that Master Tengen wanted to see him at the Tombs of the Star Corridor.
• Wangchuan agreed to go with Masamichi Yaga to meet Tengen.

Masamichi Yaga confronted Wangchuan about his increasingly cold demeanor and the deaths of Jujutsu Society’s higher-ups. Wangchuan admitted he had ordered the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings to kill them, then challenged Yaga to deny that he felt pleased by their deaths.

• Wangchuan admitted that the three brothers had helped him dispose of some of the higher-ups.
• Wangchuan defended the killings as a benefit to Jujutsu Society and asked whether Masamichi Yaga had ever secretly felt pleased.

Wangchuan entered Tengen’s domain after Masamichi Yaga warned him about his increasingly casual attitude toward killing. Tengen revealed that she could not read Wangchuan as she could other beings, and he accepted that her omniscience had limits.

• Masamichi Yaga warned Wangchuan that killing people himself violated the Jujutsu Society’s rules and said Wangchuan had become colder.

• Wangchuan sensed the power of Tengen’s barrier before entering the vast white space where she waited.
• Wangchuan teased Tengen by comparing her to a thumb, and she described him as an unreadable book unlike anyone she had encountered.
• Wangchuan told Tengen that her omniscience had limits.

• Tengen said she had never seen another demon, then invited Wangchuan to sit with her in the white space.
• Tengen asked Wangchuan whether he knew why she had established barriers in Japan, and he said he was listening.

Tengen explained that she had concentrated the world's Cursed Energy in Japan to slow humanity's evolution and preserve ordinary people, then asked Wangchuan for a favor. Wangchuan initially declined to interfere, but stopped and returned when Tengen promised a substantial reward.

• Tengen told Wangchuan that a thousand years earlier she had created a barrier to draw the world's Cursed Energy into Japan.
• Tengen explained that she wanted to delay humanity's evolution into beings with Cursed Energy, which would leave ordinary humans unable to survive.
• Tengen said her choice had caused deaths in Japan and made her lose her human form, and asked Wangchuan how he viewed it.
• Wangchuan said he was only a Demon passing through and left without intending to interfere in the world's affairs.
• Tengen called after Wangchuan and said she had invited him to ask for a favor.
• Wangchuan turned back when Tengen offered a substantial reward and asked how much it was and how she would pay.

Wangchuan accepted Tengen’s offer to stop humanity from naturally producing cursed energy by carving an array on the moon. He told her the work would take a year, but planned to delay it until after Gojo and Sukuna’s battle and use the stored cursed energy to strengthen himself.

Wangchuan found himself aboard Whitebeard’s ship during the Paramount War and watched the battle begin. As Whitebeard’s forces charged to rescue Ace, Wangchuan decided he would help Whitebeard.

• Wangchuan realized he had arrived at Marineford during the Paramount War and watched Whitebeard face Kuzan.

• Whitebeard’s pirates charged toward Marineford while Wangchuan watched from the Moby Dick.
• Wangchuan saw Ace on the Execution Platform and heard Sengoku declare that the Whitebeard Pirates would be destroyed.
• Whitebeard urged his crew to bring Ace back, and Wangchuan decided to help Whitebeard.

Wangchuan mysteriously boarded the Moby Dick and introduced himself to Whitebeard as a demon passing through, claiming he had come to watch the battle. As Dracule Mihawk prepared to strike, Wangchuan watched with confidence while Whitebeard remained wary and focused on the war.

• Wangchuan climbed onto the Moby Dick’s bow without Whitebeard noticing until he was close.
• Whitebeard questioned Wangchuan’s identity, and Wangchuan said he was neither Navy nor pirate and had come from somewhere far away.
• Wangchuan called himself a demon passing through and said he might help Whitebeard if paid, but for now he only wanted to watch.
• Whitebeard warned Wangchuan that not everyone would survive the battle, then returned his attention to Marineford.
• Wangchuan pointed out that Dracule Mihawk was about to make his move and said he wanted to see what the world’s top fighters could do.

Dracule Mihawk attacked Whitebeard with a massive sword slash, but Diamond Jozu blocked it before it could reach the Moby Dick. As Jozu returned to the battlefield, Wangchuan mused that he could sell him for a lot of money.

• Dracule Mihawk raised Black Blade Yoru and launched a powerful slash toward Whitebeard aboard the Moby Dick.
• Wangchuan admired the slash’s size and precision while Whitebeard waited without changing his stance.
• Diamond Jozu charged in and blocked the slash with his diamond-hard body, knocking it into the sky.
• Doflamingo noticed Wangchuan beside Whitebeard and speculated that the young man must be someone important.
• Jozu checked that Whitebeard was safe, asked who Wangchuan was, then returned to the battlefield.
• Wangchuan watched Jozu leave and thought that the living human-shaped diamond could fetch a high price.

Wangchuan offered to help Whitebeard save his family in exchange for payment, and Whitebeard demanded proof of his strength. After Wangchuan deflected Kizaru’s attack and blasted him into a wall, Whitebeard recognized him and learned his name.

• Wangchuan offered to fight for Whitebeard in exchange for treasure, promising to help Whitebeard and his son leave Marineford safely.
• Kizaru appeared above the Moby Dick and fired Yasakani no Magatama at its bow.
• Wangchuan deflected Kizaru’s light bullets, sending them into the Marine Headquarters walls and gun emplacements.
• Wangchuan struck Kizaru with repulsive force, hurling him into a distant wall and silencing the battlefield.
• Marco and the Whitebeard Pirates wondered who Wangchuan was, while Whitebeard laughed and asked his name.
• Wangchuan told Whitebeard his name was Wangchuan and added that he could also be called Tso Lan.

Wangchuan secured a partnership with Whitebeard to protect Ace in exchange for payment after the battle. When Akainu attacked Marineford with magma fireballs, Wangchuan controlled the seawater to form water dragons that extinguished them, leaving the Whitebeard Pirates wondering who had intervened.

• Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, and Akainu watched Wangchuan and recognized him as a powerful, unfamiliar figure.
• Wangchuan asked Whitebeard if he was strong enough, and Whitebeard agreed to partner with him.
• Wangchuan accepted payment on credit after learning Whitebeard had brought no treasure, and promised to keep Ace safe.
• Akainu sent a barrage of magma fireballs down toward the Moby Dick and the surrounding bay.
• Wangchuan raised water dragons from beneath the ice and used them to extinguish the falling magma.
• Marco and the other commanders looked at the dissipating water and asked who had stopped Akainu's attack.

Wangchuan’s water dragons stopped Akainu’s attack, and Whitebeard and the Marines wondered at his two different abilities. Garp realized that Wangchuan’s strength gave his imprisoned grandson a better chance of surviving.

• Jozu and Vista admitted they could not tell who had summoned the water dragons, while Marco suspected Wangchuan.
• Whitebeard asked Wangchuan about the water dragons, and Wangchuan said he was a demon with several abilities.
• Akainu recognized Wangchuan at the bow of the Moby Dick and reacted angrily.
• Tsuru identified Wangchuan as the one who had created the water dragons and concluded that his two attacks worked on different principles.
• Garp asked Bogard for information about Wangchuan, but Bogard found no matching records or wanted posters.
• Tsuru told Garp that he was happy because Wangchuan’s strength improved his grandson’s chances of survival, and Garp fell silent.
