As the confrontation between Megumi and Nobara and the Kyoto students is interrupted by the sophomores, Satoru visits the principal of the Kyoto school to discuss the incident with Yuji and the Cursed Uterus. Junpei Yoshino, a high school student, witnesses the death of his classmates, who have been horribly mutated by Mahito in a movie theater. Rather than being afraid, however, Junpei follows Mahito and gets to know him. At the same time, after finishing his training with Gojo, Yuji is assigned to help first-degree sorcerer Kento Nanami, and the two arrive together at the scene to investigate the murders. Yuji and Nanami face the curses and discover that they are actually humans mutated by Mahito. Yuji, Nanami, and Ijichi come up with a plan to investigate cases of disfigurement across the city. While Yuji and Ijichi are tasked with interrogating Junpei, Nanami confronts Mahito in his underground lair. Yuji bonds with Junpei due to their passion for movies, while Nanami destroys Mahito’s lair and both fighters flee the area. After his mother’s death, Junpei is misled by Mahito and attacks his school with the intent of making a boy who bullied him in the past pay, so Yuji tries to stop him.
