Lu You fought Muzan Kibutsuji, countering his blood-based attacks and cutting him apart, but Muzan regenerated after being beheaded. Lu You began a Domain Expansion to test whether Muzan could recover from being reduced to powder.

• Shinobu Kocho and the other slayers took Lu You's antidote, which neutralized Doma's icy-mist poison.

• Lu You opened the dormitory door and found a girl standing outside.

Lu You asked Kaguya Ruri for the Eternal Heart, the necklace she wore, while learning that she had come to protect him because her grandfather, the old principal, was missing. When Kaguya Ruri explained she could give the necklace only to her future husband, Lu You proposed marriage.

• Lu You recognized Kaguya Ruri and told her he wanted the necklace she wore, the Eternal Heart.

• Lu You dropped to one knee and asked Kaguya Ruri to marry him.

Lu You investigated the threats outside Fuyuki City Senior High School and discovered that Nobuta was helping keep them at bay. He tested the attackers from inside the gate and taunted them to strike, leaving the standoff unresolved.

• Kaguya Ruri refused to give Lu You her Eternal Heart necklace, then warned him to stay inside the school before leaving.

• Lu You noticed that the Little Yellow Building resisted his divine sense and chose not to investigate it.
• At the school gate, Nobuta warned Lu You not to step outside and declined to answer his questions.
• Lu You stepped partly beyond the gate, sensed hostile watchers, then retreated and provoked them to attack.

Lu You left Fuyuki High School despite the assassins watching the gate, then tracked down the hidden professional on a nearby rooftop. After overpowering him, Lu You learned the assassin was Zuo Lai and agreed to pay extra for information about his client.

• Lu You spotted a well-hidden ponytailed man watching him from a high-rise and decided to capture him alive.
• Lu You examined Fuyuki High School's barrier, realized he had to leave through the main gate, and secretly revealed his second-tier Spiritual Sense to Old Nobuta.
• Lu You slipped past the people watching the school and followed the ponytailed man into a nearby office building.
• Lu You startled the man on the rooftop, dodged his Poisonous Arm attack, and left a cut on his cheek with a chilling strike.
• Zuo Lai said a Star God Contract prevented him from revealing his client unless Lu You paid extra, and he recognized Lu You when Lu You agreed.

Lu You learned that Zuo Lai’s assassin organization had a ten-million-Sakura-Currency contract on his life, then arranged a meeting with Zuo Lai’s boss and the four families behind the bounty. He returned to teaching swordsmanship and received word that the meeting would take place at the East City Chemical Plant.

• Zuo Lai revealed that the Fearless Alliance had accepted a ten-million-Sakura-Currency contract funded mainly by the Itō, Hoshiya, Hagiwara, and Yoshino families.
• Zuo Lai offered to help Lu You meet his Second Tier boss, hoping to inherit the squad leader’s authority if the boss died, and Lu You agreed to arrange a meeting.
• Lu You returned to Fuyuki High School and taught his first-year students how to correct their Basic Sword Forms, impressing them with his demonstration.
• Zuo Lai called Lu You that night and told him the meeting had been arranged at the East City Chemical Plant.

Lu You walked into a meeting at Warehouse 4 and discovered that Senmu and several powerful families had lured him into a trap. He revealed overwhelming strength, killing two opponents with a single slash before unleashing an even larger attack as the survivors tried to flee.

• Lu You traveled to the eastern chemical industrial district to meet Zuo Lai at Warehouse 4.
• Senmu and six other second-tier individuals revealed themselves, and the group celebrated what they believed was a successful trap.
• Lu You sent an invisible slash through the warehouse, killing two second-tier individuals and cutting the building across its length.
• Ogihara charged Lu You in a rage, setting the warehouse ablaze, but Lu You prepared his strongest slash.
• Senmu saw Lu You's enormous web of slashes spreading for several kilometers and shouted for everyone to run.

Lu You unleashed Lataib across the chemical industrial zone, killing the Ogiwara family head and then using Piercing Blood to wipe out the other three family heads. He turned away from the fleeing Senmu when a terrifying presence appeared over Fuyuki City.

• Lu You's slashes overwhelmed the Ogiwara family head, whose flames and regenerative ability failed against soul damage; Lu You killed him as he threatened that a powerful figure would avenge the families.
• Senmu and the other family heads fled while Lataib tore through buildings and drove civilians and gang members to scatter; Lu You still had most of his spiritual power remaining.
• Lu You ended the slashes and fired Thousandfold Convergence, Piercing Blood at the fleeing family heads, poisoning them and then piercing their skulls to kill them.
• Lu You sensed that Senmu was nearing the edge of his detection range, but stopped pursuing him when golden light revealed a towering presence watching from the direction of Fuyuki City.

Lu You fled a third-tier expert named Huayama Seishū and returned to the school, where Kaguya Ruri tried to protect him. When Huayama attacked, Lu You trapped them both inside Mysterious Farmhouse, his soul-based Domain Expansion.

• Lu You escaped the Industrial Zone and raced back to the school, believing the Old Principal’s protection offered his best chance of survival.
• Huayama Seishū appeared at the school gates to apprehend Lu You, and Kaguya Ruri stepped forward to challenge him.
• Huayama’s attacks broke Kaguya Ruri’s treasures and shattered the wall behind her, while he easily repelled her defenses.
• Lu You tried to carry Kaguya Ruri through the school gates, but Huayama prepared a more dangerous attack.
• Lu You used Domain Expansion to engulf himself, Kaguya Ruri, and Huayama in Mysterious Farmhouse, whose soul-based ripples began to pull at Huayama.

As Huayama Seishū’s domain threatened to overwhelm them, Lu You exchanged Kaguya Ruri’s accessories for resources and drew the Shirou Emiya template. He loaded it and prepared to cross into another world, where he arrived on the battlefield after Satoru Gojo’s defeat.

• Huayama Seishū’s golden domain expanded as Lu You concluded he needed to improve his foundation to withstand the tier-three venerable.
• Lu You asked Kaguya Ruri for her necklace and other accessories, then exchanged the items for one world crossing, one template draw, and 50,000 Star Husband Coins.
• Lu You drew several templates, including a blue Gintoki Sakata and a purple Shirou Emiya, whose skills he inspected.
• Lu You loaded the Shirou Emiya template and crossed into another world as Huayama Seishū’s domain continued to erode.
