Head and body lay severed.
Suguru Geto's head had been separated as cleanly as if by the most precise scalpel.
Inside the skull, something was writhing.
It was Kenjaku's "true body"-the brain that had survived for a thousand years.
Now, exposed within the domain of the "Heavenly Imperial Pillars," that thousand-year-old brain resembled a soft-bodied creature stripped of every shell and disguise.

After Suguru Geto's death, these Cursed Spirits should have run wild when the Cursed Technique was released, but Kenjaku's takeover had kept them contained once more.
Now that Kenjaku was dead,
