Madara Uchiha arrived at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High after exorcising a semi-grade 1 cursed spirit, leaving Maki and the others uncertain about his unexplained strength. Principal Masamichi Yaga began a private conversation with Madara after the others left with the sleeping dog.

• Ijichi introduced himself to Madara during the drive to Jujutsu High, and Madara said he had no family or training and had supported himself with part-time jobs.
• Maki questioned how Madara had exorcised a semi-grade 1 cursed spirit, while Ijichi and Yuta suggested his abilities might have awakened instinctively in a crisis.

Satoru Gojo put Madara Uchiha and Yuta Okkotsu through a potentially lethal test, forcing Yuta to fight seriously and Madara to reveal his Sharingan. The chapter left them armed and ready to continue their duel.

• Satoru Gojo ordered Yuta Okkotsu to fight Madara Uchiha without restrictions, warning them that the test could end in death.
• Yuta initially held back, but Satoru Gojo explained that sparing Madara would leave him unprepared for real fights, so Yuta resolved to take the test seriously.
• Yuta struck Madara with a cursed-energy-powered punch, and Madara activated his Sharingan to read and redirect Yuta's follow-up attack.
• Satoru Gojo explained that the test also measured Yuta's control over his power and whether he could fight without being held back by his past.
• Yuta drew his sword, and Maki Zenin tossed Madara a short Cursed Tool; Madara caught it and prepared to continue fighting.

Madara fought Yuta Okkotsu in the Training Ground, using his Sharingan to read and counter Yuta’s attacks despite his untrained body. When Yuta unleashed his full power and threatened to land a decisive strike, Madara awakened Susanoo and blocked it, leaving everyone stunned.

• Madara used the Sharingan to anticipate Yuta Okkotsu’s attacks and traded blows with him, though his body struggled to keep pace.
• Madara read Yuta’s movements, dodged a charging slash, and struck him in the chest after using a dropped blade to create an opening.
• Yuta acknowledged Madara’s unusual perception and released a torrent of cursed energy, prompting Maki Zenin, Panda, and Toge Inumaki to worry about the test escalating.
• Yuta’s faster attacks grazed Madara’s shoulder and forced him to block a rising slash with Maki’s cursed shortsword, which broke under the impact.
• Madara’s Sharingan transformed into a kaleidoscopic pattern, and he summoned Susanoo’s blue ribs to block Yuta’s full-force strike.

After Madara’s battle with Yuta, Gojo and Maki questioned the strange blue skeleton Madara had summoned, which Gojo identified as an unusually powerful, incomplete shikigami. Shoko healed Madara’s shoulder, and Gojo began a private talk with him in the Infirmary.

• Gojo stopped the fight, and Madara dismissed the blue skeleton after it had protected him from Yuta’s attack.
• Madara apologized to Maki for breaking her dagger, while Gojo called the skeleton an incomplete shikigami and asked Madara about possible side effects.
• Gojo sent Yuta to take Madara to the Infirmary, then told Maki the shikigami could become powerful enough to challenge “that.”
• Shoko examined Madara’s shoulder and healed it with Reverse Cursed Technique after Yuta left to change.
• Shoko left the Infirmary, and Gojo began a private conversation with Madara.

In the infirmary, Satoru Gojo questioned Madara about his powers and explained that a sorcerer’s choices, not their abilities, determined how they used their power. Madara decided to embrace his role in this world and play the game to its end.

• Satoru Gojo removed his blindfold and asked Madara how using his power had felt, then reassured him that the sensation was normal.
• Madara cautiously told Satoru Gojo that he knew little about his Cursed Technique and concealed that he might have other abilities.
• Satoru Gojo explained that power was neither good nor evil and gave Madara a chance to prove himself through his choices.
• Satoru Gojo told Madara to rest before classes, training, and missions began the next day.
• Madara reflected on his knowledge of the world and decided to play his role to his heart’s content.

After a week of training at Jujutsu High, Madara received a Grade 3 sorcerer identification and was assigned his first solo mission: investigating a curse at an abandoned shrine in Suginami Ward. With Yoshino waiting outside behind a Curtain, Madara began climbing toward the shrine, where his cursed energy perception had detected something faint.

• Madara received a Grade 3 identification from Masamichi Yaga, who explained that the higher-ups were wary of his unknown background and that a promotion assessment could come later.
• Yaga assigned Madara a solo mission to investigate and exorcise a suspected Grade 3 curse at an abandoned shrine, warning him to retreat if anything exceeded the report.
• Satoru Gojo told Madara that the mission would test whether he was worth trusting, then said he would not accompany him.
• Yoshino drove Madara to the shrine, gave him breakfast, and warned him about a Grade 2 sorcerer who had died after underestimating a Grade 3 curse.
• Yoshino raised a Curtain around the hill and gave Madara a walkie-talkie; Madara then started up the shrine steps.

Madara investigated a cursed Shinto shrine and found evidence of a terrified victim and powerful curses inside its main hall. He faced a featureless woman and a sinister stuffed rabbit as the hall plunged into darkness, and drew his Tanto to fight.

• Madara followed traces of Cursed Energy up the mountain path to the dilapidated Shinto shrine.
• Madara found a blood-marked Ema covered in desperate pleas for help and warnings that someone was watching.
• Madara entered the main hall, followed fresh footprints to the Shintai, and discovered human teeth scattered near it.

• The rabbit spoke, the woman's blank face split open into a tooth-filled mouth, and countless red eyes appeared as the hall went dark.
• Madara took a combat stance and drew his Cursed Energy-infused Tanto.

Madara ignored instructions to retreat when he discovered the shrine curses were stronger than reported, and destroyed them with his second-stage Susanoo. He returned safely with the mission complete, leaving Yoshino stunned by the wreckage and planning to pass responsibility for it to Gojo.

• Madara saw that the shrine contained multiple curses and used his second-stage Susanoo to destroy them and flatten the building.
• Madara contacted Yoshino and asked him to lift the Curtain after exorcising the curses.
• Yoshino heard the explosion, feared Madara had been killed, and then learned over the radio that the curses were gone.
• Madara reported that the curses had been at least Grade 2 and possibly symbiotic, then returned to the car with Yoshino.
• Madara asked Yoshino to help with his self-criticism for demolishing the shrine, then decided to leave the matter to Gojo-sensei.

Madara returned to Jujutsu High and trained with Maki, discovering that his body could not keep pace with her skill and speed without relying on his Sharingan. After she defeated him, Maki spoke briefly about the Zenin Clan’s efforts to hold her back, and Madara left to rest while she continued training.

• Madara returned to Jujutsu High and found Panda, Toge Inumaki, and Maki training while Yuta was abroad on an urgent assignment.
• Maki checked that Madara had not broken her cursed tool, then challenged him to spar and improve his skills.
• Madara fought without activating his Sharingan, but Maki’s speed and strength overwhelmed him despite his growing combat instincts.
• Maki said the Zenin Clan had been interfering with her standing, but she believed they would not hold her back much longer.
• Madara went to the Dormitory to rest as Maki, Panda, and Inumaki returned to training.

Madara Uchiha continued to improve at Jujutsu High and began to feel that he belonged there, while wondering what resolve he needed to reach a true domain. Gojo and Nanami discussed Madara’s rapid growth and the risk of him going astray; Gojo then renewed his push for Madara’s Grade 1 assessment.

• Madara asked Maki why he could not learn Reverse Cursed Technique or Domain Expansion, and she explained the skill and resolve each required.
• Madara found Panda and Inumaki trying to repair Maki’s water-damaged training log, so he offered to distract her while they worked.
• Gojo asked Nanami about Madara, and Nanami praised the boy’s talent, composure, and character while Gojo worried that his rapid growth could lead him toward a fall like Geto’s.
• Nanami told Gojo that Madara seemed different from Geto and that there was no need to worry for now.
• Gojo called the principal to pursue Madara’s Grade 1 assessment again and said he would vouch for him as a Special Grade Sorcerer.

• Satoru Gojo found Panda and Toge Inumaki trying to dry Maki’s wet training notebook, then learned that Madara was sparring with Maki.
• Madara adapted to Maki’s attacks, impressed her, and accepted her challenge to fight with real weapons.
• Satoru Gojo stopped Madara and Maki before their weapon match began and asked Madara to spar with him instead; Madara agreed.

• Satoru Gojo warned Madara not to let his pursuit of strength make him lose sight of himself, and Madara said he understood.
• Satoru Gojo faced Madara in the clearing and asked to see how strong he had become.

Madara fought Gojo, testing Susanoo and Domain Amplification against Gojo’s Limitless. Gojo knocked Madara down but urged him to get back up, leaving their battle unfinished.

• Madara activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and summoned Susanoo, whose swords could not reach Gojo through Limitless.
• Gojo struck Susanoo with Blue, damaging its armor, and deduced that Madara could not move while using it.
• Madara attacked the ground around Gojo with Yasaka Magatama, then dismissed Susanoo and deactivated his Sharingan to use Domain Amplification.
• Madara rushed Gojo, but Gojo dropped Limitless, caught his wrist, and countered his attacks before Madara could form Susanoo.
• Gojo struck Madara in the abdomen, shattered the forming Susanoo bones, and sent him crashing to the ground before telling him to get up.

Madara pushed past his limits during training with Satoru Gojo, triggering five consecutive Black Flashes and awakening his Rinnegan and Domain Expansion. His incomplete domain collapsed soon afterward, and he passed out from exhaustion in Gojo’s arms.

• After being injured by Gojo’s palm strike, Madara resolved to develop Reverse Cursed Technique and Domain Expansion and entered a state of intense concentration.
• Gojo recognized Madara’s focus as the precursor to Black Flash and gave him room to attack; Madara landed five consecutive Black Flashes with Susanoo.
• Madara’s Rinnegan awakened, and he expanded an incomplete domain called Heavenly Imperial Pillars, enclosing himself and Gojo in a white world of stone pillars.
• Madara’s domain collapsed when he ran out of energy, and Gojo caught him as he passed out.
• Panda, Inumaki, and Maki rushed over, and Gojo reassured them that Madara was exhausted but fine.

Madara and his companions began their spring break with a trip to Tokyo, planning to buy gifts for Panda, who could not safely go out in public. As they headed to a dessert shop in Shinjuku, Madara felt a growing sense of belonging with his friends.

• Madara accepted his friends' advice to rest during spring break and joined Okkotsu, Maki, and Inumaki for a day in Tokyo.

• Inumaki pointed out a dessert shop, and the group headed there to eat and pick up gifts for Panda.
