Ten years later, Qingxiao mastered concealing his cursed energy and joined Gojo to meet Yuji Itadori, Sukuna’s new vessel. After Itadori swallowed another finger, Sukuna insulted Qingxiao, who tied Sukuna’s tongue into a knot and left Itadori questioning whether Jujutsu High was a legitimate school.

• Gojo welcomed Itadori back, and Itadori answered with a high five.

Kenjaku planned the Shibuya operation, assigning the Four Calamities to trap Guyue Qingxiao while he kept Satoru Gojo occupied. The cursed spirits believed they were preparing to revive Sukuna, but Kenjaku privately revealed his true goal was to create a cursed spirit fused from all humanity.

• Kenjaku told Jogo, Mahito, Hanami, and Dagon that the plan would begin on October 31 and that their objective was to contain Satoru Gojo and Guyue Qingxiao while Sukuna was revived.

• Kenjaku outlined a plan to use transfigured humans and the crowded Shibuya Station transfer concourse to restrict Qingxiao’s ability to fight freely.
• Jogo killed the restaurant manager and burned everyone in the restaurant to ash, then asked Kenjaku how his strength compared with Sukuna’s fingers.
• Kenjaku estimated Jogo’s power at ten fingers and claimed he could hold off Satoru Gojo for at least an hour, prompting Jogo to celebrate their plan.
• Kenjaku privately thought that reviving Sukuna was only bait and anticipated creating a super-invincible cursed spirit fused from all humanity.

After returning from the dead, Itadori asked to become strong enough to protect others, and Qingxiao and Satoru Gojo began teaching him the basics of jujutsu. Qingxiao told him to practice cursed energy control by playing ranked Counter-Strike with a random teammate, while Satoru Gojo left to buy daifuku.

• Satoru Gojo left the training room to buy daifuku as Qingxiao prepared to begin the lesson.

• Qingxiao told Itadori to stay close and follow his instructions, but Itadori blinded Qingxiao with a flashbang and later burned him with a Molotov.
• A random teammate insulted Itadori, and Qingxiao defended him, encouraging him to keep playing.

• Qingxiao told Itadori to focus on the Cursed Energy in his fist, then explained how to circulate it.

Jogo set out to test the strongest sorcerers before the Shibuya Incident, but his challenge at Jujutsu High was stopped by Guyue Qingxiao. Satoru Gojo then proposed letting Jogo expand his domain so Itadori could learn from a domain clash.

• Satoru Gojo encountered Jogo, then brought Itadori and Qingxiao to the abandoned construction site where they had fought.

• Qingxiao stopped Jogo’s domain expansion, dodged his punch, and knocked him back with a palm strike.
• Satoru Gojo asked Qingxiao not to cripple Jogo and suggested allowing the domain expansion so Itadori could observe a clash and learn about domains.

Jogo expanded Coffin of the Iron Mountain, but Satoru Gojo overwhelmed his domain with Unlimited Void and tried to interrogate him. A mysterious sea of flowers rescued Jogo, and Qingxiao chose to leave him alive for Suguru Geto; the group headed back while Qingxiao and Satoru Gojo bickered.

Qingxiao, Satoru Gojo, and Kento Nanami took Yuji Itadori to investigate unusual cursed spirits in an abandoned commercial building. After Nanami and Itadori found that the creatures had physical bodies and could appear in photographs, Shoko determined their bodies had been rewritten, and Qingxiao went to help investigate.

• Qingxiao and Satoru Gojo introduced Yuji Itadori to Nanami, who told Itadori to prove himself on the mission.
• Nanami and Itadori entered an abandoned commercial building and fought two unusually fast creatures; Itadori used Divergent Fist to defeat one.
• Itadori noticed the creatures did not dissolve, and Nanami photographed a body and found it appeared in the image.

• Qingxiao found Itadori and Junpei talking by the river and watched them from nearby.
• Qingxiao sensed Sukuna's Finger in Junpei's apartment, found it in a desk drawer, and took it before Junpei and his mother returned.
• At dinner with Shoko, Qingxiao received a call from Nanami, who reported finding a Special Grade Cursed Spirit that could reshape people by touch.
• Nanami told Qingxiao that his attacks had failed and his abdomen was injured, so Qingxiao demanded his location and ended the call.

After Nanami was injured on a mission, Qingxiao helped bring him to Shoko for treatment, then went to Junpei’s apartment to collect Itadori. He left Junpei with a protective omamori and returned to Jujutsu High with Itadori, who learned Nanami would recover after a few days of rest.

• Qingxiao struck Mahito with Black Flash, sending him through the school and into a stone pillar.
• Mahito emerged badly injured but believed he could heal by reshaping his soul.

Qingxiao fought Mahito and discovered that his soul had fused with his flesh, letting him strike Mahito’s soul and learn the core of the soul. Mahito fled by splitting himself apart and using Domain Expansion to cover his escape, but Qingxiao shattered the domain almost immediately.

• Mahito attacked Qingxiao with transformed limbs and weapons, but Qingxiao blocked every assault without retreating.
• Mahito grabbed Qingxiao’s arm and tried to use Idle Transfiguration, only to find Qingxiao’s soul fused with his flesh and impossible to reshape.

• Mahito reassembled and cast Self-Embodiment of Perfection to buy time, but Qingxiao broke the domain from within in under three seconds.

After Mahito escaped Guyue Qingxiao, Kenjaku canceled the planned Exchange Event invasion and arranged a stealthier raid on Jujutsu High. Meanwhile, Qingxiao realized his attacks could damage souls but warned himself that the irreversible power demanded restraint, before Shoko Ieiri caught him laughing in the middle of the night.

• Mahito returned to Kenjaku, Jogo, and Hanami and warned that Guyue Qingxiao was far stronger than their intelligence had suggested.
• Kenjaku scrapped the Exchange Event invasion and planned to infiltrate Jujutsu High with Mahito, while Jogo and Hanami prepared barriers in Shibuya.

• Qingxiao reviewed his fight with Mahito and realized he could make his attacks damage souls, though the irreversible harm meant he would have to use the ability carefully.
• Shoko Ieiri found Qingxiao laughing on the living-room rug and threatened to make him sleep on the couch if he kept it up.

Junpei recovered from his injuries, while Qingxiao and Itadori argued about revenge and the value of human life. At the Goodwill Event, Gojo brought Itadori back to his classmates, who were relieved and angry that he had hidden his survival.

• Shoko told Junpei and Nagi Yoshino that his wound had healed, but his left arm could not be reattached, and Junpei reassured his mother.

After Sukuna's Fingers and the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings were stolen, Qingxiao and Satoru Gojo suspected an insider had helped Mahito's group. They divided up the investigation, and Qingxiao privately theorized that Kenjaku might be using Mahito and the stolen artifacts to create a half-cursed-spirit Ryomen Sukuna.
