Jogo unleashed his Maximum Technique, Meteor, against Mahoraga after the Cursed Spirits restrained him with their techniques. The meteor struck in a catastrophic explosion, while a second tremendous blast sounded beneath the first.

• Jogo expanded Coffin of the Iron Mountain, and its sure-hit attacks burned the narrator, who survived by using New Shadow Style: Simple Domain while remaining hidden in the shadows.
• After Dagon’s death, Jogo resolved to destroy Mahoraga and began charging Meteor as Mahito and Hanami tried to hold the divine general back.
• Mahoraga adapted to the domain’s heat, recovered, and charged Mahito, but the stitched woman crushed him with immense pressure before he could strike.
• Hanami restrained Mahoraga with burning plants and growths inside his body, while Mahito touched his heel and attacked his soul.
• Jogo’s Meteor slammed into the restrained Mahoraga, triggering a devastating explosion throughout the domain.
• As the blast swallowed the domain, another tremendous explosion sounded beneath it.

The sorcerer survived Jogo’s explosion and used its flames to overwhelm and capture Hanami. He then unleashed Hanami’s Domain Expansion inside Jogo’s Coffin of the Iron Mountain, leaving the two special grade domains clashing.

• After Mahoraga was killed, the sorcerer left Shadow Space and used Directional Blast Boundary to redirect Jogo’s lingering explosion.
• The sorcerer focused most of the redirected flames on Hanami, then stabbed it with the Inverted Spear of Heaven and captured it with Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
• The sorcerer swallowed Hanami’s cursed spirit orb while Jogo and the short-haired woman reacted to his counterattack.
• The sorcerer summoned Hanami’s Domain Expansion, Feast of Light Sea, inside Jogo’s Coffin of the Iron Mountain.
• Feast of Light Sea spread through Jogo’s domain as the two domains’ rules collided.

With his body and cursed energy exhausted, the sorcerer used Hanami to wound Jogo and Mahito, then realized the stitched woman wanted to take over his body. He shot himself with an ordinary gun to prevent her from claiming it, and died.

• The sorcerer forced the wounded Hanami to attack Jogo, then used Hanami's body in Maximum: Uzumaki to pierce Jogo and blast Mahito away.
• Jogo froze as he realized Hanami had been sacrificed and erased, while the stitched woman grew more intent on taking the sorcerer's body.
• With his soul, body, and cursed energy spent, the sorcerer switched Phantom Parade back to the Ten Shadows Technique and drew a mundane handgun from his shadow.
• The sorcerer pressed the gun to his temple and told the stitched woman, "Then, see you in a moment..."
• The stitched woman understood his plan and ordered the cursed spirits to stop him, but the sorcerer pulled the trigger and died.

After Li Shunchen died by his own hand, his suppressed hatred and killing intent overwhelmed the Buddhist chants he heard in death and transformed him into a Cursed Spirit. He rose inside Jogo’s domain and attacked with mindless fury, leaving Jogo and the others facing a newly transformed enemy.

• Li Shunchen’s soul heard Buddhist chants after death, but his rage and final curse drowned them out and turned him into a Cursed Spirit.
• The stitched-forehead woman questioned why Li Shunchen had killed himself and wondered what was inside him.
• Li Shunchen’s charred corpse began moving, and the woman, Mahito, and Jogo sensed the change in his nature.
• Jogo rejoiced at the chance to kill Li Shunchen himself and slammed him between two enormous hands of lava.
• Li Shunchen roared and struggled against the lava, acting on the instinct to kill rather than using reason or Cursed Techniques.

After becoming a cursed spirit, the narrator broke free of human limits but struggled against the clash between his rational mind and his murderous instincts. As Jogo and Mahito watched, his grotesque new body prepared to unleash Hollow Technique: Purple.

• The narrator survived Jogo’s magma attack, used cursed speech to explode the giant hands, and discovered that Reverse Cursed Technique threatened to destroy his cursed-spirit body.
• The narrator grew a second head, while Mahito studied his transformation and concluded that the release of his human restraints had exposed the stacked souls within him.
• Jogo sent Ember Insects to attack the narrator, whose charred legs broke under his weight before the insects’ sure-hit explosions devastated his body.
• The narrator’s body grew additional heads and arms, but his rational thinking clashed with his murderous instincts and left him unable to fight effectively.
• The narrator abandoned human logic, formed a hand sign with his four arms, and invoked Hollow Technique: Purple against Jogo and Mahito.

The newly transformed Cursed Spirit killed Jogo with unstable Hollow Purple blasts, then attacked Mahito with the Soul Liberation Blade and Resonance. Mahito’s domain collapsed from the soul strike, but an unseen attacker began smashing the protagonist apart before they could finish him.

• The protagonist’s unstable Hollow Purple badly wounded Jogo and shattered the Coffin of the Iron Mountain domain, then a second blast exorcised Jogo.
• As the protagonist’s body collapsed and reconstructed, their restraints weakened and they regained enough reason to target Mahito, retrieving the Soul Liberation Blade with Blue.
• The protagonist charged through Mahito’s transfigured humans using Inversion Cursed Technique, but Mahito opened Self-Embodiment of Perfection after replacing his severed hand with hands from his mouth.
• Inside Mahito’s domain, the protagonist endured Idle Transfiguration and used Straw Doll Technique: Resonance through Mahito’s severed hand and the Soul Liberation Blade, gravely damaging Mahito and collapsing the domain.
• As the protagonist prepared to strike Mahito again, an unseen force blasted off the arm holding the blade and then smashed away the other arm and further parts of their body.

Li Shunchen was left dying after the stitched woman struck him with blood empowered by two cursed techniques, but the return of his reason revealed that the voices in his mind had always been his own. He confronted the truth about his stacked-soul body and began a Domain Expansion as he lamented the worlds born because of him.

• The stitched woman blasted apart Li Shunchen’s arm and torso with a compressed blood attack, then sent him crashing into a sewer wall.
• The woman explained to the helpless Li Shunchen that she had targeted him before Suguru Geto to avoid releasing the cursed spirits stored in Geto’s body.
• As Li Shunchen neared death, he recognized that both the murderous commands and the murmurs of the eight consciousnesses had come from his own voice.
• Li Shunchen understood the nature of his stacked-soul body, wept in despair, and declared that he had been the most heinous of them all.
• Li Shunchen said the worlds born because of him would not end with his death, then grew a new pair of arms and began Domain Expansion: Ālaya Consciousness.

The woman with stitches across her forehead was caught off guard when your Domain Expansion transformed the sewer into a realistic cemetery and revealed you in human form with stitches matching her own. Beside Suguru Geto’s grave, you mourned and told her the stitches were probably what she had left on you.

• The woman entered your Domain Expansion and found herself in a quiet cemetery, unable to locate you at first.
• She spotted you among the gravestones in human form and recognized your cursed energy as that of a living jujutsu sorcerer.
• The woman noticed stitches across your forehead that matched the marks left by her cursed technique.
• You stood beside a gravestone inscribed with Suguru Geto’s name, touched your stitches, and wept.
• The woman questioned what the stitches were, and you said they were probably what she had left on you.

At Suguru Geto’s gravestone, the woman questioned the narrator about his stitched forehead and the strange causal effects of his domain, Ālaya Consciousness. He revealed that he had been buying time to analyze her technique, then charged at her after obtaining her gravity and anti-gravity abilities, while she prepared to test his weakened human form.

• The narrator told the woman that a different version of her had left the stitches on his forehead, though she could not remember doing so.
• He explained that the cemetery and the events he tried to change had existed elsewhere, and that people saved in new branches could not replace those who had died originally.
• The woman inferred that Ālaya Consciousness interfered with causality and asked whether he was stalling for something.
• The narrator declared that he still had things he needed to do, then completed his analysis of her cursed technique and acquired her control over gravity and anti-gravity.
• The narrator crushed the bluestone beneath him and rushed at the woman, who noticed his reduced cursed energy and braced herself eagerly for the fight.

The narrator used rapid technique switches and precise timing to overpower the stitched woman, exploiting Limitless to bypass her gravity and striking her with Divine Dog: Totality and Blue. The chapter ended with the woman angrily confronting him as he claimed Limitless meant he had not touched her.

• The narrator identified the stitched woman's techniques and decided she was the highest-priority target despite Mahito watching from nearby.
• The narrator used Projection Sorcery to charge the woman, then switched to Limitless to pass through her gravitational defense and punch her.
• The narrator switched to Ten Shadows Technique and wounded the woman with Divine Dog: Totality.
• The narrator returned to Limitless, thrust his hand into the woman's chest, and activated Blue to tear apart her insides.
• The woman accused the narrator of being rude, and he replied that Limitless meant he should not have touched her.

The narrator tried to trap the woman in a stalemate, but she pierced Limitless with a technique that neutralized cursed techniques and gravely wounded them. After both apparently died in a clash of attacks, the narrator’s original cursed-spirit form survived and prepared a final collision of Red and Blue.

• The narrator used Blue inside the woman’s chest to force her to expand her domain, hoping to break it and exploit her cursed technique burnout without drawing Yuji Itadori and the others into the fight.
• The woman coated her fist in special cursed energy that bypassed Limitless, then struck the narrator with Gravity and destroyed half their face.
• The narrator chanted the full incantation for Cursed Technique Reversal: Red while the woman pierced their skull and crushed their brain; Red then tore through her waist and abdomen as the narrator died and their domain collapsed.
• The woman heard the narrator’s voice and discovered their weakened original cursed-spirit form still embedded in the sewer wall, able to use its cursed technique despite the domain’s destruction.
• The narrator formed Blue and brought it into resonance with the lingering Red, causing the two attacks to fuse into a deadly purple radiance.

Li Shunchen exhausted his remaining strength in a final Hollow Technique: Purple against the woman, only to recognize her Domain Expansion as the same technique used by the mysterious parasite who killed him in a previous simulation. The woman crushed his body with gravity as the attack collided with her domain, and the simulation ended with his exorcism.

• Li Shunchen used his last strength to unleash Hollow Technique: Purple, while his cursed spirit body began to disintegrate.
• The woman formed Domain Expansion: Womb Profusion to counter the attack.
• Li Shunchen recognized Womb Profusion as the domain of the mysterious parasite who had killed him in a previous simulation.
• Li Shunchen concluded that the clash would leave the woman gravely wounded and depleted, giving Yuji Itadori and the others a better chance to survive.
• The woman used gravity to crush Li Shunchen as Hollow Technique: Purple collided with her domain, and the simulation ended with the notification that he had been exorcised.

After the simulation ended with Li Shunchen’s death, its memories and rewards flooded into him, leaving him overwhelmed by guilt over the people who had died in the simulated worlds. When Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo rushed into his dorm, Li Shunchen hid his anguish and told them it was nothing.

• The system reported Li Shunchen’s death in the simulation and granted him memories, experience, cursed energy, and new talents.
• Li Shunchen was overwhelmed by vivid memories of suffering and broke down, blaming himself for the deaths caused across the simulated worlds.
• He imagined his dorm filling with blood and corpses, including Suguru Geto’s and Yu Haibara’s, then lit a cigarette and called himself disgusting.
• The noise and cursed energy fluctuations alerted Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo, who rushed into Li Shunchen’s room.
• Li Shunchen turned slightly toward them, hid his sobs, and said that nothing had happened.

Li Shunchen was overwhelmed by horrific memories of his simulations, but hid his distress from Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo by claiming he had dreamed about his parents’ deaths. After regaining his composure, he asked Geto to spar with him.

• Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo found Li Shunchen in a wrecked room, visibly devastated, and Geto took away his cigarette and asked what had happened.
• Li Shunchen hallucinated Suguru Geto as both his traitorous future self and the stitched mastermind, and resolved to keep bearing his secrets alone.
• Satoru Gojo mistakenly concluded that Li Shunchen had confessed to Shoko Ieiri and been rejected, prompting an argument with Suguru Geto.
• Li Shunchen used the Card, Life Is Like a Play, to lock away his distress and told his friends that a nightmare about his parents had upset him.
• Li Shunchen stood up, felt his increased Cursed Energy, and asked Suguru Geto to spar with him.

Li Shunchen challenged Suguru Geto to spar and unleashed a Domain Expansion that transformed Jujutsu High's field into a filthy sewer. Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes revealed that Li Shunchen had become a cursed spirit.

• Li Shunchen asked Suguru Geto to spar, and Geto agreed while Satoru Gojo watched resentfully.
• The three went to Jujutsu High's athletic field, where Li Shunchen warned Geto that he might not be able to control his strength.
• Li Shunchen performed the Trailokyavijaya Mudra and activated his Domain Expansion, Ālaya Consciousness.
• The domain transformed the field into a vast, dark sewer and surrounded them with cursed energy on the level of a special grade.
• Satoru Gojo examined Li Shunchen with his Six Eyes and realized that Li Shunchen was a cursed spirit.

Li Shunchen emerged from his domain in a perfectly healthy special grade cursed spirit body, confronting the guilt behind his past simulations while regaining control of his mind. He began testing his transformed abilities before Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo, and left Rainbow Dragon nearly annihilated in a single attack.

• Li Shunchen realized his murderous urges had been a defense against the truth that his power came from the souls of real parallel-world versions of himself, and resolved to carry on despite his guilt.
• Li Shunchen cursed his own actions, then focused on adapting to his special grade cursed spirit body as Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo watched in disbelief.
• Suguru Geto called out to Li Shunchen, who confirmed his identity and announced that he was beginning.
• Li Shunchen compressed his vast cursed energy with precise control, alarming Suguru Geto, then charged at him through the sewer.
• Suguru Geto summoned Rainbow Dragon as a defense, but Li Shunchen used Projection Sorcery to trap it in a two-dimensional frame and shattered it with a knife-hand strike.

Li Shunchen tested the power and limitations of his Cursed Spirit body before overwhelming Suguru Geto in the Sewer. Satoru Gojo stopped Li Shunchen’s near-lethal punch, and Li Shunchen ended the confrontation by saying he had not been serious.

• Li Shunchen assessed his domain’s lack of a sure-hit effect and the severe cost of healing or using positive energy in his Cursed Spirit body.
• Li Shunchen combined extreme overload control with Projection Sorcery and rushed toward Suguru Geto at a speed Geto could not follow.
• Suguru Geto tried to unleash his Maximum Technique, but Li Shunchen’s punch passed close enough to cut Geto’s cheek before he could summon his Cursed Spirits.
• Satoru Gojo teleported beside them and grabbed Li Shunchen’s wrist, stopping the attack before it could become fatal.
• Li Shunchen let Gojo hold his wrist and calmly told him and Geto not to be nervous because he had not been serious.

Li Shunchen explained that his Domain Expansion let him manifest the state of a past dream, while concealing the real danger he had learned from his simulations. He then began testing a devastating technique and left Gojo and Geto alarmed as its power gathered between his hands.

• After Li Shunchen's wind pressure faded, Geto and Gojo recovered from the near-lethal attack, and Gojo demanded an explanation for Li's Domain Expansion and Cursed Spirit form.
• Li Shunchen said Ālaya Consciousness let him select a past dream and manifest the physical state he had in it, explaining that his current body came from a nightmare in which he became a Cursed Spirit.
• Gojo and Geto accepted that the explanation fit what they knew about Li's dreams, but they doubted his claim that he was fine and chose not to press him further.
• Li Shunchen resolved to hunt the Mysterious Woman who had killed him in a simulation, then asked Gojo and Geto to help with an experiment and handle the consequences if it failed.
• Li Shunchen chanted “Phase,” “Twilight,” and “Eyes of Wisdom” as a destructive orb formed between his hands, and Gojo cried out in alarm at its power.

Li Shunchen prepared a delayed, extraordinarily powerful Hollow Purple while using Phantom Parade to copy the Ten Shadows Technique. He began Mahoraga’s subjugation ritual as Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto watched from a safe distance.

• Li Shunchen compressed Blue to an extreme and poured the last of his cursed energy into it, causing his Ālaya Consciousness domain to collapse.
• Li Shunchen returned to his human body while the stable Blue sphere remained suspended in the air, and he told Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto to retreat.
• Li Shunchen used Ballistic Intuition and copied Satoru Gojo’s Limitless to launch a fully incanted Red toward the stationary Blue, setting up a delayed Hollow Purple.
• Satoru Gojo realized Li Shunchen had calculated Red’s fall so the spheres would collide later, leaving Li Shunchen free to act in the meantime.
• Li Shunchen switched Phantom Parade’s copied technique to the Ten Shadows Technique and began the incantation to summon Mahoraga.

Li Shunchen trapped Mahoraga in a finishing attack, using the Soul Liberation Blade to hold it in place before Red and Blue collided. Satoru Gojo rescued Li Shunchen from the blast, which annihilated Mahoraga and left a perfectly smooth pit behind.

• Li Shunchen summoned Mahoraga and unleashed a rapid barrage with the Soul Liberation Blade, tearing apart its body and pinning it in place.
• Li Shunchen knew Mahoraga could regenerate unless its Dharma Wheel was destroyed, so he relied on the approaching collision of Red and Blue to finish it.
• Unable to change techniques without failing the subjugation ritual, Li Shunchen signaled Satoru Gojo to take him away from the blast zone.
• Satoru Gojo used Limitless to teleport beside Li Shunchen and carry him out moments before Red and Blue collided.
• The collision formed a purple-black sphere that swallowed and vaporized Mahoraga, leaving a smooth, ten-meter-wide pit where it had stood.

After subjugating Mahoraga and demonstrating Domain Expansion, Li Shunchen stunned Masamichi Yaga, Satoru Gojo, and Suguru Geto. He earned two more simulation counts and secretly began pursuing information about the Star Plasma Vessel bounty from the Time Vessel Association.

• Masamichi Yaga arrived at the ruined field and scolded Satoru Gojo before Li Shunchen explained that he had tested his Domain Expansion.
• Li Shunchen confirmed that Gojo and Geto had witnessed his domain, and promised to compensate the school for the damage.
• The system announced that Li Shunchen had completed the hidden mission and awarded him two simulation counts.
• Li Shunchen asked to rest, then left Jujutsu High and contacted Shiu Kong using his phone for impersonating Toji Fushiguro.
• Li Shunchen asked Shiu Kong about negotiations over the Star Plasma Vessel bounty and paid Mei Mei for the Time Vessel Association leader's private contact information.

Li Shunchen arranged to obtain the Time Vessel Association leader’s private contact information while pressuring the Association to raise the Star Plasma Vessel bounty. He laid out a plan to use a voice imitation and escalating financial pressure to force the Mysterious Woman out of hiding, declaring that his hunt had begun.

• Mei Mei accepted Li Shunchen’s request to find a private way to contact the leader of the Time Vessel Association, but said she could not provide an answer until the next afternoon.
• Li Shunchen told Shiu Kong to secure the previously proposed bounty increase before introducing a second, larger demand.
• Shiu Kong agreed to continue negotiations the next day and believed Toji Fushiguro’s high price was justified by the danger of facing Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto.
• Li Shunchen planned to imitate the Mysterious Woman’s voice to command the Association leader to ensure Toji Fushiguro completed the hunt, then use a second price increase to drive the leader into contacting her.
• Li Shunchen considered fallback methods to force the Mysterious Woman to reveal herself and began his hunt that night.

Li Shunchen confronted the guilt of the deaths caused by his simulations, then began a new plan to ensure Toji Fushiguro was indispensable to the Time Vessel Association. He manipulated the Association’s leader and hired Mei Mei to secretly surveil him, leaving her preparing to head for the group’s headquarters.

• Li Shunchen reflected on the countless deaths caused by his simulations and decided he had to keep going to change the predetermined ending.
• Li Shunchen used Mei Mei’s discovery of the Time Vessel Association leader’s private number to impersonate the Mysterious Woman and order the leader to secure Toji Fushiguro’s involvement at any cost.
• Shiu Kong told Li Shunchen that the Association had accepted two steep price increases, and Li Shunchen persuaded him to provide the leader’s internal contact number.
• Li Shunchen asked Mei Mei to monitor the leader’s contacts and meetings, especially any women he contacted.
• Li Shunchen offered Mei Mei eight times her original pay, and she sent him a navigation map to the Time Vessel Association’s headquarters.

The narrator discovered that the Time Vessel Association’s mysterious backer was Kaori Itadori, Yuji’s mother, and grew alarmed about her schemes. He then asked Masamichi Yaga to support his promotion to Special Grade in exchange for publicly revealing Panda’s creation technology, arguing that there was no time to hide their ability to save people.

• The narrator pressured the Time Vessel Association’s leader into accepting Toji Fushiguro’s increased price, prompting the leader to contact the Mysterious Woman for approval.
• Mei Mei traced the Mysterious Woman’s real phone number to Kaori Itadori, and the narrator recognized her as Yuji Itadori’s biological mother.
• The narrator recalled that Yuji had not recognized Kaori during a previous encounter and suspected she had separated from him when he was very young and may have altered his body.
• The narrator visited Masamichi Yaga and requested promotion directly to Special Grade so he could gain greater authority and freedom of action.
• The narrator offered to publicly disclose Panda’s independent cursed corpse technology and asked Masamichi Yaga’s consent, saying they should use their abilities to save people before time ran out.

The narrator persuaded Masamichi Yaga to consider making independent cursed corpse technology public, then used Mei Mei’s intelligence to locate Kaori Itadori. Disguised as a deliveryman, the narrator attacked her through her front door and declared an intent to kill her.

• The narrator proposed revealing the technology for independent cursed corpses and mass-producing them, leaving Masamichi Yaga to weigh the consequences.
• Masamichi Yaga approved the narrator’s request for a few days away from Jujutsu High.
• Mei Mei sent the narrator precise coordinates for the woman’s residence, and the narrator realized Kaori Itadori had already abandoned her child, Yuji Itadori.
• The narrator bought a deliveryman’s uniform and parcel box, then used concealment Cards and suppressed cursed energy to approach Kaori’s home.
• When Kaori came to the door, the narrator switched to extreme overload control, drew the Soul Liberation Blade, and cut through the security door while announcing the attack.
