Summary:
Megumi’s victory comes at the cost of the rest of his stamina. Delirious, he remembers his time in high school with Tsumiki and apologizes for not appreciating her kindness earlier. Meanwhile, Yuji and Nobara begin a battle against the brothers born from the womb of the painting of death.
Plot:
Bloodied and exhausted from the battle as the Domain fades, Megumi looks around at her allies while holding Sukuna’s finger. Sukuna sees what happened through the finger and is very impressed with the results. Megumi vomits and collapses shortly after. He remembers putting punks in their place in high school. He told them that the foundation of human interaction is never to cross a line that violates someone else’s dignity. The punks don’t even know why Megumi beat them up as she sits on top of a giant pile of their beaten bodies.
Old man Takeda comes to break it up as Megumi is leaving and passes a group of students who have been bullied. They quickly realize that the thugs have been beaten, but Tsumiki is not happy that Megumi is still picking fights. He hits him with a milk carton that accidentally opens and spills on his head after he makes a remark about good people being ugly.
When Megumi was in first grade, his father and mother Tsumiki got married and promptly separated. Gojo visits him and explains that he has been sold to the Zenin family, but in exchange for working as a wizard, he will receive support from Jujutsu High. Megumi naturally hated the white man and the jujutsu wizard.
Drenched in milk, Megumi walks away from her guilty sister. She was joined by her friends who asked her to go to the bridge with them. Shortly after Megumi became a third year, Tsumiki was cursed and remains asleep to this day. Tsumiki was a kind girl who chose to care for Megumi despite his downfalls. Back in the current time under the bridge, Megumi apologizes and asks her sister to wake up. However, her sleeping curse is a separate matter from the Yasohachi Bridge curse. Shortly after, Megumi falls asleep from exhaustion.
Both Nobara and Eso notice that the Domain has disappeared and realize that whoever defeated the Fingerbearer must be injured. Ace rushes to the finger, but Nobara tries to stop him. He moves backwards to avoid the pursuing girl and threatens to kill her if she does. Suddenly, Kechizu appears behind Es with Yuji in pursuit, meaning they both see a grotesque face on his back. Distraught, Eso threatens to kill Yuji, but Nobara acts quickly and hits him in the back of the head with his hammer.
Nobara asks why he’s dressed so strangely, and he claims that his back is stuffy otherwise. He also notices a strange smell coming from Ace’s back. He activates his Rot Technique, Maximum: Wing King, allowing him to sprout wasp wings made of black blood.
