The narrator considered Kenjaku’s possible connection to the Star Plasma Vessel Incident and inferred that his Death Painting experiments might have been an abandoned attempt at evolution before he turned his attention to Tengen. The narrator remained unable to identify Kenjaku’s ultimate motive, but resolved to find it and intercept him at the end of his plan.

• The narrator recalled Mei Mei revealing that Kenjaku had created the Death Painting Wombs and that the nine Cursed Objects were sealed beneath Jujutsu High.
• The narrator considered whether Kenjaku’s experiments had been driven by the Kamo Clan’s desire for greater strength, but questioned that theory because the evidence about Blood Manipulation was incomplete.
• The narrator hypothesized that the Death Painting Wombs were a flawed attempt at artificial evolution and that Kenjaku had instead placed his hopes on Master Tengen’s evolution.
• The narrator struggled to explain what Kenjaku would gain from Tengen’s unique evolution and concluded that his motive was the missing piece.
• The narrator recalled Mei Mei’s warning that old records of Six Eyes and Star Plasma Vessel deaths were difficult to obtain, but decided those details mattered less than Kenjaku’s ultimate goal.
• The narrator resolved to uncover Kenjaku’s motive so they could connect the scattered clues and stop him at the end of his path.

Shunchen spent years refining Star Rage for close combat and trained Kento Nanami and Yu Haibara to survive as jujutsu sorcerers. At their graduation in 2010, Nanami and Haibara chose to keep fighting rather than leave Jujutsu Society, and thanked Shunchen for helping them live through their dangerous missions.

• Shunchen concluded Star Rage could only add virtual mass to his own body, so he developed a close-combat combination with Extreme Overload Control and Projection Sorcery while carefully testing his body's limits.
• Shunchen received the Flexible Bone Joints card in the 2010 draw and recognized its value for escaping holds and striking from unexpected angles.

With Rika safe and reunited with Yuta, you asked Mei Mei to arrange protection for her and explained that a Special Grade Vengeful Cursed Spirit would have emerged if you had not intervened.

• You destroyed the false Rika, concealed the remains and blood, and told Yuta Okkotsu that the creature was a shell for a monster born from his uncontrolled power.

The protagonist continued investigating the threat to Suguru Geto while strengthening their abilities and waiting for the hidden body-switching enemy to reveal himself. In 2012, a new talent arrived, and attempts to develop Domain Expansion produced mysterious murmurs that yielded the word “Consciousness.”

Li Shunchen abandoned attempts to force progress on Domain Expansion and continued teaching and training through several peaceful years, gaining new talent cards. In 2014, Yuki Tsukumo confronted him over her belief that he had killed Toji Fushiguro and accused him of abandoning their supposed shared plan to overturn Jujutsu Society; Li rejected her expectations and called himself content with the status quo.

• Li Shunchen concluded that neither copying other techniques nor further blind practice offered an easy route to mastering Domain Expansion, so he continued refining his abilities while teaching at Jujutsu High.

• His accelerated brain issued instructions faster than his body could respond, disrupting his cursed energy control and forcing him to end the technique.
• The narrator suffered dizziness and a nosebleed, repaired his brain with Reverse Cursed Technique, and recognized the talent as a valuable emergency tool despite the danger.

In 2016, Naobito Zenin visited the narrator to test Megumi Fushiguro and persuade him to inherit the Zenin Clan. After Megumi defeated Naobito, the narrator agreed to discuss the inheritance with him, while Naobito mentioned that a runaway Zenin girl might later come to Jujutsu High.

After Tsumiki fell into an unexplained coma, the narrator exhausted medical and supernatural avenues without finding a cure or the cause. Megumi chose to become a jujutsu sorcerer to search for a way to awaken her, while the expected disasters never came; the story ended with the new year’s draw granting the narrator Blind Spot Entry.

• The narrator searched the place where Tsumiki had vanished but found no trace of cursed energy, while Kiyotaka Ijichi reported that hospital tests showed no physical abnormalities.

• At the start of 2018, the system awarded the narrator the Blind Spot Entry [R] talent card.

After Megumi Fushiguro graduated middle school, Li Shunchen moved him into Jujutsu High to protect him and prepare him for enrollment. During Masamichi Yaga’s entrance assessment, Megumi summoned an enormous, lightning-charged Qu Fusion that instantly destroyed Yaga’s test cursed corpse, leaving the principal stunned.

• Li Shunchen made Megumi Fushiguro finish middle school before enrolling, using the public setting to shield him from the people behind Tsumiki’s coma.
• Li Shunchen moved Nanako and Mimiko into their high school dormitory, then arranged for Megumi to live at Jujutsu High after his graduation.

• Yaga declared that Megumi had passed the test, and Megumi thanked him before leaving the training room.
• Yaga asked Li Shunchen how strong Megumi had become, and Li said Megumi was unlikely to lose against conventional Grade 1 opponents.

Megumi Fushiguro settled into life at Jujutsu High, where his seniors saw his Ten Shadows Technique overwhelm most of them in sparring. Li Shunchen concealed how long he had trained Megumi and analyzed how Megumi could kill Kinji Hakari in a real fight, then left still wary of threats lurking in the world.

• Megumi Fushiguro trained and observed Maki, Inumaki, Kinji Hakari, and Kirara Hoshi as he adjusted to Jujutsu High.
• Maki Zenin kept quiet about Megumi’s long history of training under Li Shunchen and the truth behind the official account of his abilities.

• Li Shunchen calculated that Megumi could exploit the vulnerable interval between Hakari’s jackpots to kill him in a death match, then left the training ground wary of hidden enemies.

Megumi Fushiguro found the storage box for a Special Grade Cursed Object empty and began searching Sugisawa Third High School for the missing object. He leaves the story hurrying away from the wreckage after destroying a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit, realizing he should have put up a Curtain first.

• Li Shunchen set off from Tokyo for Sendai while Megumi disguised himself as an ordinary student and followed the object's Cursed Energy through the school.

• Megumi dismissed Qu Fusion and hurried away, regretting that he had not put up a Curtain to contain the destruction.

Megumi Fushiguro discovered that Yuji Itadori had extraordinary physical strength and mistakenly thought the cursed object’s aura was coming from him. At Sugisawa Hospital, he learned the object was missing from its box and rushed back to Sugisawa Third High School to stop Yuji’s upperclassmen from breaking its seal, while Yuji followed.

• Yuji thanked the woman and sprinted toward the school at full speed.

Megumi Fushiguro fought through the cursed spirits at Sugisawa Third High School and rescued Sasaki and Iguchi with help from Yuji Itadori. As the spirits closed in, Yuji swallowed the Special Grade Cursed Object, and a terrifying surge of cursed energy erupted from him.

• Megumi used Rabbit Escape to locate the trapped Sasaki and Iguchi, then fought through the school with two Toads and Playful Cloud.
