Li Shunchen continued monitoring cursed corpse research while pushing himself through slow barrier training, and Jujutsu High’s student numbers fell as the Great Sages prevented tragedies. In 2012, he drew a minor card and found no sign of Mahito, whose soul-altering technique he hoped to use to eliminate cursed energy; he remained convinced that his power and sacrifices were still insufficient.

• Li Shunchen suspended plans to create more Great Sages and mobilized the Three Great Families, Mei Mei, and the Great Sages to monitor anyone capable of making cursed corpses.
• Li Shunchen kept training barrier techniques and delegated routine lessons and patrols to the Great Sages as fewer students enrolled at Jujutsu High.
• Li Shunchen drew the Absolute Grip Ratchet card in 2012 and stored it away because it offered little value to his fighting style.
• The Three Great Families continued investigating human-soul experiments, while the higher-ups restricted their research to legitimate cursed corpse technology; no one found evidence of Mahito or bizarre human transformations.
• Li Shunchen planned to capture Mahito and test whether his soul-altering technique could remove humanity’s ability to generate cursed energy, while recognizing the many risks and unresolved problems.
• Li Shunchen recalled the crippled sorcerer’s warning that success required sacrifice and concluded that his efforts and power were still far from enough.

Li Shunchen and Suguru Geto developed a cursed-spirit reconnaissance network to address threats hidden beneath Japan’s apparent peace. As the project began testing, Li Shunchen confronted the network’s dependence on Geto and drew an SSR card that turned the body into an instinct-driven killing machine.

• Li Shunchen drew the N-rank Pore Physical Lockdown card and added it to his collection.
• Worried about concealed threats, Li Shunchen asked Suguru Geto to help create a nationwide cursed-spirit surveillance network.
• After Geto explained that Grade 2 cursed spirits were too scarce for broad coverage, Li Shunchen proposed patrol groups of low-grade spirits that could report incidents to nearby Great Sages or assistant supervisors.
• Geto agreed to test the revised network in districts around Tokyo, while Li Shunchen privately worried that the system would have no successor after Geto.
• After a year of testing, Li Shunchen drew the SSR Reptilian Brain Takeover Mode card, which granted bodily control to his most primitive instincts.

Li Shunchen considered his new Reptilian Brain Takeover Mode Card while secretly expanding his and Suguru Geto’s cursed-spirit warning network. Yuki Tsukumo showed him evidence that foreign forces were building metal bodies powered by human brains, revealing that the cursed-corpse idea he thought he had contained had spread overseas.

• Li Shunchen examined the risks and potential of the Reptilian Brain Takeover Mode Card, which could let him fight through instinct when thought itself became a liability.
• Li Shunchen and Suguru Geto continued secretly building a low-level cursed spirit early-warning network covering Tokyo and Kyoto, while he avoided drawing the attention of suspected cursed-corpse experimenters.
• Yuki Tsukumo visited Li Shunchen at Jujutsu High and showed him a photograph of an unconscious Japanese prisoner surrounded by foreign doctors in a secret facility.
• Yuki Tsukumo showed Li Shunchen a battlefield photograph of a destroyed child-sized metal humanoid, from whose head militants had retrieved cooked human brain tissue.
• Yuki Tsukumo explained that Middle Eastern militants called the machines Steel Brains and that the metal bodies displayed extraordinary strength and agility, then asked Li Shunchen what he thought.

Li Shunchen analyzed how foreign powers had turned living human brains into crude cursed-corpse weapons and blamed his decision to kill Kenjaku for setting the disaster in motion. Yuki Tsukumo tried to reassure him, but he concluded the timeline was doomed and broke into a bitter, hysterical laugh.

• Li Shunchen examined the battlefield photographs and deduced how foreign researchers were mass-producing cursed-corpse weapons using living human brains.
• Li Shunchen traced the global spread of cursed-energy weapons back to his decision to kill Kenjaku, which unleashed the Million-Demon Night Parade and exposed Jujutsu to the world.
• Yuki Tsukumo argued that the disaster and foreign powers' greed were not entirely Li Shunchen's fault, and defended the lives his cursed-corpse project had saved in Japan.
• Li Shunchen realized Yuki did not know he had caused the Million-Demon Night Parade and judged that the timeline would descend into an even greater catastrophe.
• Li Shunchen questioned whether his efforts to save people had made him the world's greatest evil, then wondered if public hatred might create a Special Grade Cursed Spirit embodying him.
• Li Shunchen laughed bitterly beneath Yuki Tsukumo's startled gaze.

Li Shunchen weighed how to respond after the Steel Brain project was used in combat and concluded that direct violence or diplomacy could worsen the threat. He began coordinating measures to protect Japanese people and curb the project, while leaving Yuki Tsukumo stunned by his bleak insistence that they could not save everyone.

• Li Shunchen rejected armed intervention and high-level diplomacy, deciding instead to cut off the supply of Japanese people used as experimental materials.
• Yuki Tsukumo understood that restricting access to Japanese test subjects could slow the Steel Brain research, but Li Shunchen warned that the perpetrators might seek victims elsewhere.
• Li Shunchen refused Yuki Tsukumo's offer to help, telling her that neither of them could save everyone and that her combat strength would not solve the political crisis.
• Yuki Tsukumo said Li Shunchen had changed as he began calling Conservative Faction Higher-Ups and secret Cabinet contacts to alert the government.
• Li Shunchen planned nationwide alerts, counterespionage and anti-smuggling patrols, stronger civilian safeguards, and operations with Mei Mei and Shiu Kong against foreign brokers.
• Li Shunchen checked on the Cursed Corpse Maker, found him mentally broken and isolated, and continued his efforts as he faced the wider threat of human greed and international power struggles.

Li Shunchen spent 2015 tightening Japan’s defenses against the overseas exploitation of cursed energy, while Satoru Gojo traveled abroad and returned with evidence of the Steel Brain experiments. Seeing a brain removed from a living person, Li Shunchen recognized it as the bloody consequence of his own past decisions.

• Li Shunchen expanded the Great Sage surveillance network and added covert cursed-energy screening to overseas travel, sharply reducing the export of human experimental subjects from Japan.
• At the start of 2015, Li Shunchen drew Blink-Synchronized Entry [SR] and considered how it could combine with his existing abilities, while noting that Satoru Gojo’s Six Eyes could counter it.
• Satoru Gojo asked to travel overseas to investigate the Steel Brain experiments, and Li Shunchen reluctantly agreed after warning him not to reveal his power to ordinary people.
• A week later, Satoru Gojo returned from a Middle Eastern war zone with a brain preserved in a container, which he had found in an abandoned laboratory bunker.
• Li Shunchen examined the mutilated brain and realized that his decisions, including killing Kenjaku and spreading the independent cursed corpse method, had helped lead to the experiments.

At the start of 2016, Li Shunchen drew a card that enhanced survival but offered little combat use, then began teaching his new disciple Noritoshi Kamo advanced applications of Blood Manipulation. He left Noritoshi shaken after demonstrating how aerosolized blood could infiltrate and lethally control an opponent from within.

• Li Shunchen drew Extreme Gastric Acid Degradation [N] and stored the survival-focused ability in his card collection.
• Kinji Hakari, Kirara Hoshi, and Noritoshi Kamo enrolled at Tokyo Jujutsu High, with Noritoshi joining because Li Shunchen was his master.
• Noritoshi explained that he stored extra blood in blood bags to compensate for Blood Manipulation's heavy blood consumption, but Li Shunchen said that weakness came from how users employed the technique.
• Li Shunchen asked Noritoshi to reconsider what counted as blood, then stretched a small blood bead into an invisible aerosol.
• Li Shunchen revealed that Noritoshi had inhaled the blood particles and used them to threaten his heart and blood vessels, showing how the technique could kill from inside the body.
• Li Shunchen released Noritoshi and explained that microscopic blood control could bypass defenses more effectively than a conventional Piercing Blood attack.

Li Shunchen taught Noritoshi Kamo how to manipulate blood into a microscopic mist, then learned that foreign operatives had trapped and burned Great Sage while exploiting his drive to protect people. Great Sage escaped with them but was left questioning whether he had done the right thing, and Li Shunchen could not answer him.

• Li Shunchen demonstrated microscopic blood manipulation to Noritoshi Kamo and judged that mastering it could make him a formidable assassin.
• A badly burned Great Sage returned to Li Shunchen’s underground workshop and explained that he had entered a burning apartment to rescue people trapped inside.
• The trapped people had greedily restrained Great Sage and threatened to accuse him of causing the fire unless he let them dismantle him.
• Great Sage forced his way out with them, but falling debris and their resistance burned them, and they falsely blamed him before witnesses.
• Li Shunchen realized foreign forces had staged the trap to test Great Sage and damage his public standing, while an accompanying assistant supervisor helped preserve the truth.
• Great Sage asked Li Shunchen whether he had done wrong by resisting, but Li Shunchen fell silent, unable to answer.

Li Shunchen suppressed the foreign plot against the Great Sages, reflected on the burden of protecting others, and welcomed new students as the years passed. In 2018, he brought Yuji Itadori to Jujutsu High after Yuji chose to become a sorcerer, then received news of a volcano-headed cursed spirit.

• Li Shunchen had Mei Mei investigate the probe against the Great Sages and concluded foreign extremists had orchestrated it, then told the Great Sages to trust their instincts if another incident crossed the line.
• Li Shunchen decided not to create more fully independent cursed corpses, and in 2017 he welcomed Toge Inumaki and Maki Zenin to Tokyo Jujutsu High, assigning Panda to show them around.
• Li Shunchen watched the peaceful timeline continue as Tsumiki Fushiguro remained safe and Suguru Geto avoided his original fate, then ordered his allies and the Great Sages to search for Mahito and three other special grade cursed spirits.
• Li Shunchen traveled to Sendai in spring 2018 and offered Yuji Itadori the choice between ordinary life and becoming a jujutsu sorcerer at Jujutsu High.
• Yuji Itadori chose to become a sorcerer so he could help more people, and Li Shunchen soon received news about the volcano-headed cursed spirit.

The narrator ambushed the four special grade cursed spirits and used the Sword of Extermination and Cursed Spirit Manipulation to capture Jogo and Hanami. The chapter left Dagon on the verge of transforming as he raged over his companions.

• The narrator found Mahito, Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon gathered beneath a remote volcano and decided to capture them for Suguru Geto.
• The narrator ambushed the group, cut Jogo apart with Mahoraga's Sword of Extermination, and swallowed his Cursed Spirit Bead to subjugate him.
• The narrator used the weakened Jogo as a shield, then forced him to expand Coffin of the Iron Mountain and trap the group inside his domain.
• The narrator interrupted Hanami's Feast of Light Sea by severing its flower-bud core, then captured and swallowed Hanami.
• Dagon erupted with cursed energy and roared at the narrator for what had happened to Jogo and Hanami.

Dagon emerged from his cocoon and unleashed his Domain Expansion, but the narrator used Jogo’s domain to suppress its sure-hit and killed Dagon with the Soul Liberation Blade. Mahito’s feigned surrender ended in a failed ambush, and the chapter left him decapitated as the narrator struck back.

• Dagon completed his transformation and expanded Horizon of the Captivating Skandha, clashing with Jogo’s Coffin of the Iron Mountain.
• The narrator summoned Hanami to guard Mahito, then used equipped Cards and New Shadow Style: Iaijutsu: Oborozuki to rush through Dagon’s Death Swarm.
• The narrator cut Dagon into pieces, absorbed him with Cursed Spirit Manipulation, and watched both domains collapse.
• Mahito pretended to surrender, but lunged at the narrator when they came within range.
• The narrator dodged Mahito’s attack and severed both his hands with the Soul Liberation Blade, then struck him again as his vision spun away.

After subduing four Special Grade Cursed Spirits, Li Shunchen studied Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration and transferred the spirits to Suguru Geto. Geto noticed that Li Shunchen had not aged, prompting Li to reflect that immortality might be a cruel curse as he left the conversation unresolved.

• Li Shunchen analyzed Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon’s Cursed Techniques, then used Idle Transfiguration on himself and perceived the layered souls that made up his being.
• Li Shunchen went to Suguru Geto and handed over the four subdued Special Grade Cursed Spirits, which Geto swallowed into his collection.
• Suguru Geto wondered how Li Shunchen had defeated the four spirits without switching away from Cursed Spirit Manipulation and asked how strong he had become.
• Suguru Geto noticed Li Shunchen had not aged and joked that he might be an immortal Cursed Spirit.
• Li Shunchen remembered that the Forever Seventeen Card had kept his body fixed at age seventeen and said that living forever would be a vicious curse compared with a swift death.

The narrator studied Idle Transfiguration, carefully mapping souls and practicing on animals while refusing to experiment on innocent people or prisoners. After discovering that Great Sage’s layered soul mirrored their own, they decided to hunt ancient sorcerers inhabiting modern bodies and attempt to restore those bodies to their original owners.

• The narrator trained Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori, and Nobara Kugisaki while relying on Great Sage to help instruct them.
• The narrator touched Jujutsu High acquaintances and Panda to study souls, finding that Panda’s soul existed inside his constructed body without reshaping it.
• The narrator examined Great Sage and found that his three overlapping cores reproduced the narrator’s layered soul, leading them to understand Great Sage as their offspring rather than a perfect copy.
• The narrator set a rule against altering innocent human souls and practiced Idle Transfiguration first on poultry, fish, and then monkeys.
• The narrator rejected using death-row inmates as experimental subjects and chose ancient incarnated sorcerers as targets instead.
• The narrator resolved to separate the ancient sorcerers’ souls from their stolen bodies and return control to the original owners, even if the attempt killed them both.

The narrator investigated unregistered sorcerers to find ancient sorcerers revived through incarnation and confronted a swordsman whom Great Sage identified as an unusual target. After the swordsman attacked, the narrator used spatial techniques and the Soul Liberation Blade to disarm and capture him alive.

• The narrator organized a nationwide investigation, assigning ordinary information gathering to broad networks and in-person verification to Grade 1 or Special Grade 1 sorcerers.
• Megumi Fushiguro, Noritoshi Kamo, and Satoru Gojo passed the narrator’s instructions to their respective clans, while Great Sage was designated for uncertain cases.
• Great Sage located an incarnated man at a remote kendo dojo but could not detect any Cursed Energy, so the narrator went to investigate.
• The narrator confirmed the man was an ancient incarnation and confronted him; the swordsman drew his Samurai Sword and challenged the narrator to a fight.
• The swordsman charged, but the narrator folded space with Cursed Technique Reversal and used the Soul Liberation Blade to cut off both of his arms.
• The narrator seized the wounded swordsman by the neck and lifted him into the air.

After discovering that the original host of an ancient swordsman had been irreversibly erased, you destroyed the swordsman’s soul and sought another incarnated sorcerer to study. At a Tokyo sumo hall, you confronted San'dai Rokujūyon, who had taken over a body just to wrestle, and crushed his head into the dohyō.

• You used Idle Transfiguration to examine the swordsman’s soul and found only remnants of the original host, whose consciousness had been destroyed.
• The swordsman mocked your accusation and declared he had returned to wield his blade, so you tore apart his soul and killed him.
• You decided to collect more cases of incarnated sorcerers before risking an attempt to deal with Ryomen Sukuna inside Itadori.
• You located San'dai Rokujūyon at a Tokyo sumo hall and entered the evacuated building to confront him.
• San'dai Rokujūyon activated a barrier for a sumo match and admitted he had taken over another person’s body because people lived for sumo.
• You struck San'dai Rokujūyon before he could resist and pinned his head into the blood-soaked dohyō.

After killing San'dai Rokujūyon, the narrator studied his soul and acquired Ui Ui's Unobservable technique to improve travel and investigate soul transfers. The narrator then located another ancient sorcerer in a crowded Tokyo shopping district and attempted a discreet assassination, but she sensed the attack and identified the narrator.

• The narrator analyzed San'dai Rokujūyon's sumo-based Simple Domain, then brutally subdued him and examined his soul with Idle Transfiguration.
• The narrator confirmed that San'dai Rokujūyon's original vessel's soul had been consumed and destroyed the ancient sorcerer's soul, considering what this meant for a future attack on Sukuna.
• Mei Mei recommended Ui Ui's Unobservable technique, and the narrator paid to study it, learning its rules for spatial jumps and soul exchanges.
• The narrator used Unobservable to travel more efficiently and considered whether its soul-swapping ability could let them borrow Satoru Gojo's body.
• The narrator tracked an unregistered ancient sorcerer, a woman with ink-black eyes, to a crowded Tokyo shopping street and prepared an invisible Blood Manipulation attack.
• The woman sensed the Cursed Energy in the breeze, turned toward the narrator, and met their gaze across the crowd.

The protagonist assassinated an ancient sorcerer and acquired Sky Manipulation, then spent over a year hunting incarnated sorcerers and delegating ordinary curse-user cleanups to Great Sages. Although the hunt left possible perfectly concealed infiltrators unaccounted for, the protagonist decided to confront Ryomen Sukuna inside Yuji Itadori.

• The protagonist used Blood Manipulation to destroy an ancient sorcerer's organs, then used Idle Transfiguration to kill her soul and hid her body in Shadow Space.
• Phantom Parade analyzed the dead sorcerer's Sky Manipulation, revealing a technique that solidified spatial planes for defense, movement, and flight.
• With help from the Three Great Families and Mei Mei, the protagonist hunted ancient sorcerers across Japan for more than a year, killing them with rapid attacks or long-range Piercing Blood shots.
• The protagonist assigned Great Sages to eliminate ordinary curse users after jujutsu sorcerers verified their identities.
• The protagonist recognized that ancient sorcerers might have inherited their hosts' memories and escaped detection by perfectly imitating modern people.
• After months of training with Idle Transfiguration, the protagonist decided to deal with Ryomen Sukuna inside Yuji Itadori.

The narrator arranged for Satoru Gojo to stand by while they attempted to separate Ryomen Sukuna from Yuji Itadori without irreparably harming Yuji. At the training ground, Yuji agreed to the procedure, but was shocked when the narrator told him to surrender control of his body to Sukuna.

• The narrator called Satoru Gojo and explained their plan to weaken Yuji Itadori's body before using Idle Transfiguration to attack Sukuna's soul, asking Gojo to intervene only if the operation went wrong.
• Gojo agreed to act as the narrator's safeguard, ready to use Unlimited Void if Sukuna made a dangerous move.
• The narrator went to the training ground, where Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, and Megumi Fushiguro stopped sparring to listen.
• The narrator told Yuji they were ready to remove Sukuna, prompting Sukuna to manifest on Yuji's cheek and watch the narrator warily.
• Yuji readily agreed to the procedure, and the narrator instructed him to stop suppressing Sukuna and surrender full control of his body.
• Yuji, Sukuna, Megumi, and Nobara were stunned when the narrator warned that Yuji's body could suffer severe damage and pain, possibly nearing death.

Yuji Itadori willingly handed Ryomen Sukuna full control of his body so the narrator could confront him, while Satoru Gojo and Jujutsu High's students watched from a safe distance. Sukuna tried to kill the narrator with a surprise slash, but the narrator blocked it and mocked him.

• The narrator asked Yuji Itadori to surrender complete ownership of his body to Ryomen Sukuna, and Yuji agreed because he trusted the narrator.
• Satoru Gojo persuaded the narrator to let Jujutsu High's students watch the fight remotely, while he prepared to intervene if necessary.
• At the outdoor field, Yuji closed his eyes and gave Sukuna control, allowing Sukuna to emerge in his body.
• The narrator warned Sukuna against escaping and offered to return his remaining nineteen fingers if Sukuna won.
• Sukuna attacked the narrator's neck with Dismantle during the offer, but the narrator's Inversion blocked the slash without injury.
• The narrator looked down on Sukuna and asked if that was all the thousand-year-old strongest could do.

Sukuna tested your Inversion defense with increasingly powerful attacks, then nearly discovered its weakness by trying a gentle touch. You switched techniques and used the Soul Liberation Blade to sever his right arm, leaving Satoru Gojo and the classroom observers stunned.

• Sukuna's Dismantle and a barrage of slashes failed to harm you, so he probed your defense's limits with attacks from different angles and strengths.
• Sukuna struck your abdomen with Cleave, but your Inversion nullified it, and he began to suspect that weakness might overcome your defense.
• As Sukuna gently tested the back of your hand, you withdrew Inversion, drew the Soul Liberation Blade from your shadow, and seized his wrist with Extreme Overload Control.
• You chained Phantom Parade, Projection Sorcery, Unheralded Ligament Launch, and Blink-Synchronized Entry to slash off Sukuna's right arm with the Soul Liberation Blade.
• Satoru Gojo and the people watching from the multimedia classroom reacted with astonishment at the fight's speed and your decisive attack on Itadori's body.

The narrator used the Soul Liberation Blade and Idle Transfiguration to destroy part of Sukuna’s soul, but Sukuna restored his hand by swapping in the soul blueprint of a spare arm. As Sukuna began expanding his domain, the narrator moved faster than he could react and severed both his hands.

• Sukuna retreated after the narrator severed his right arm and concluded that the narrator’s techniques depended on limited cursed energy.
• The narrator touched Sukuna’s severed arm with Idle Transfiguration and reached the portion of Sukuna’s soul connected to his main body.
• Sukuna recognized the narrator’s plan and attacked with Dismantle while the narrator’s defensive technique was inactive, but the narrator switched back to Inversion and survived.
• The narrator destroyed the soul corresponding to half of Sukuna’s palm, leaving his regenerated hand malformed.
• Sukuna substituted the intact soul blueprint of a spare right arm to restore the missing palm, and the narrator realized that he had two sets of arms.
• Sukuna began chanting for Domain Expansion, but the narrator rushed him and severed both hands at the wrists before he could finish.

Li Shunchen ambushed Sukuna to stop his Domain Expansion, repeatedly damaging his soul and disabling his right-side hands. Sukuna formed Malevolent Shrine with a one-handed seal, but the domains collided, and Li Shunchen used his enhanced strength to smash Sukuna into the malformed shrine at the heart of his domain.

• Li Shunchen used Blink Synchronization, an Emptiness Barrier, and Unobservable to appear beside Sukuna and sever his wrists as he attempted Domain Expansion.
• Li Shunchen switched to Inversion to withstand Sukuna’s slash, then wounded his chest and arm before teleporting behind him and impaling him with the Soul Liberation Blade.
• Li Shunchen used Idle Transfiguration on Sukuna’s severed palm to damage his soul and restrict his ability to form a two-handed seal.
• Sukuna restored his left palm, trapped the blade with his damaged right arm, and expanded Malevolent Shrine with a one-handed seal.
• Li Shunchen countered with Domain Expansion: Ālaya Consciousness, and the domains’ sure-hit effects neutralized each other as his cursed spiritification greatly increased his cursed energy.
• Li Shunchen charged through Sukuna’s slashes, seized the embedded blade, and hurled Sukuna into Malevolent Shrine’s malformed core, shattering it.

The narrator defeated Sukuna but discovered that Sukuna had destroyed Yuji Itadori’s heart as a final spiteful gambit. With Shoko Ieiri’s help, the narrator removed Sukuna’s soul and struggled to save Yuji, then collapsed from exhaustion, left wondering what it would cost to save everyone.

• The narrator shattered Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine, severed his legs, and used Idle Transfiguration to overwhelm his soul defenses.
• Sukuna revealed that he had crushed Yuji Itadori’s heart and stopped sustaining his body, hoping Yuji would die even if Sukuna lost.
• The narrator destroyed Sukuna’s consciousness and remaining soul fragments, then teleported Yuji to the multimedia classroom and called for Shoko Ieiri.
• The narrator and Shoko worked together to stabilize Yuji, repair his soul and body, and begin regenerating his limbs while Satoru Gojo and the students watched.
• After Yuji’s heart began beating again, the narrator collapsed, and Shoko told them to rest while she handled the remaining physical injuries.
• As the narrator lost consciousness, they wondered what price they would have to pay to save everyone and reach a perfect ending.

After saving Yuji Itadori by removing Ryomen Sukuna’s will, the narrator considered the risks and ethics of a plan to sever people’s souls from cursed energy. Masamichi Yaga then asked the narrator to run the Goodwill Event, whose future looked uncertain because the narrator’s Great Sages had reduced sorcerers’ combat experience and Tokyo’s students had become overwhelmingly powerful.

• The narrator examined Yuji Itadori and confirmed that he had inherited Sukuna’s remaining power through a deep fusion of their souls, while recognizing Itadori’s instinctive fear of the narrator.
• The narrator concluded that dormant incarnated sorcerers could be separated from their hosts more safely, then planned to study whether ordinary people’s souls could be altered to prevent cursed energy.
• The narrator hired Mei Mei to find people tormented by their ability to perceive curses and planned to ask them to volunteer for the experiment, while questioning the resemblance between the plan and Kenjaku’s work.
• Masamichi Yaga asked the narrator to organize the Kyoto Jujutsu High Goodwill Event because Satoru Gojo had gone on vacation after claiming he had done enough work.
• Masamichi Yaga explained that the narrator’s Great Sages had reduced sorcerer casualties but also deprived students of combat experience, putting the event’s future in doubt.
• The narrator argued that Tokyo’s lineup, including Kinji Hakari, Megumi Fushiguro, Noritoshi Kamo, and the newly empowered Yuji Itadori, was so strong that competing against Kyoto risked becoming one-sided bullying.

Tokyo Jujutsu High quickly defeated Kyoto Jujutsu High in the Goodwill Event, and Li Shunchen learned how Kokichi Muta used his heavenly restriction to control Mechamaru from afar. After realizing Idle Transfiguration might restore Kokichi’s body by reshaping his soul, Li offered to try, and Kokichi eagerly accepted despite the risks.

• Noritoshi Kamo defeated Aoi Todo by detonating microscopic blood particles inside his body, while the Tokyo students easily overcame Kyoto’s remaining participants.
• Li Shunchen learned from Utahime Iori that Kokichi Muta operated Mechamaru remotely from Kyoto and used his heavenly restriction’s vast cursed energy to power puppets across Japan.
• After examining Mechamaru and seeing a photograph of Kokichi’s severely damaged body, Li considered whether Idle Transfiguration could reshape Kokichi’s soul and heal him.
• Li approached Mechamaru’s wreckage and asked Kokichi whether he would risk an untested method that might heal his body.
• Kokichi called out to Li and agreed to undergo the treatment, no matter the danger or cost.
