Summary:
When their network communication is interrupted, most jujutsu wizards are unaware that Satoru Gojo has been sealed away. It’s up to Yuji and Mechamaru to relay this information to the others so they can coordinate a proper counterattack. Meanwhile, with the cursed spirits having the advantage, Mahito decides to give up Sukun’s resurrection and expresses his desire to kill Yuji.
Plot:
Team Kusakabe, Zenin and Nanami discuss the situation behind the curtain.
The number of civilians in Shibuya is rapidly decreasing, and Transfigured Humans in Shibuya Station are now attacking non-magicians. Orders are sent out to all teams of high jujutsu wizards to end their alert status and leave.
Team Nanami agrees among themselves that the most disturbing new development is the appearance of a new curtain trapping Satoru Gojo and preventing wizards from entering. It’s been almost an hour since Gojo arrived in Shibuya, so from their point of view it’s hard to understand why the enemy would wait until now. Having already met Mahito in the past, Nanami understands that Mahito’s faction would not move without a plan.
Nanami decides to head to the curtain caster and asks Ino and Megumi to do their best to save the civilians. All three teams of jujutsu wizards head to Shibuya at the same time. Behind the perimeter of the curtain, Ijichi is on the phone with Akari Nitta. He asks her to confirm the situation inside the curtain and come back outside as soon as possible. Managers are critical to keeping communication outside the curtain, and he wants her to be the person who always stays outside the barrier. Ijichi plans to get the windows in and everyone out of commission, but is suddenly stabbed from behind by curse user Haruta Shigemo.
Shigemo pulls his sword from Ijichi’s guts and watches as he falls to the ground bleeding. Monk Uraume orders him to continue targeting the people in the suits around the perimeter of the curtain and then head inside the barrier. Meanwhile, in B5F of Shibuya Station, Pseudo-Geto explains that the Prison Realm needs time to process Satoru Gojo before it can be moved. Mahito suddenly notices one of Mechamaru’s communication devices on a nearby roof and destroys it. Kokichi immediately relays the information that the enemy is unable to move Gojo from B5F to Yuji.
The best choice for jujutsu wizards is to transfer to Shibuya station from nearby subway stations. Once the curtain preventing the wizards from reaching Gojo falls, they can attack the station together. Yuji runs into the curtain trapping the civilians and immediately encounters a horrifying scene of Transfigured Humans attacking humans indiscriminately. Using his blinding speed and cursed power-enhanced energy, he clears the group to help save the civilians. Yuji keeps his pace and easily climbs the large building before yelling “Nanamin” as loud as he can.
Yuji’s scream echoes throughout Shibuya, affecting Team Nanami and probably the entire city. Nanami is less than amused to hear his nickname, while Megumi and Ino are more or less confused. Yuji continues to scream and reveals that Gojo sensei has been sealed away. Team Kusakabe also hears this and the news shocks Nanami. He takes it very seriously and changes plans immediately. Megumi is also surprised to hear that his mentor has been sealed away and Nanami says that if it is true then all people in Japan are surely doomed.
Geto gets Mahit, Jog, Dagon, and Chos in a group around the Prison Realm and informs them of the wizard’s next move. He stays at B5F to protect the Prison Realm and asks the curses how they plan to deal with any wizards that get in their way. Choso simply wants to avenge his brothers by killing Yuji and Nobara. Jogo says that Yuji is off limits because she is Sukuna’s ship, but Choso doesn’t care, creating tension between them and annoying Jogo enough to want to fight.
Mahito tells Jogo to calm down and playfully reveals that he wants to kill Yuji as well. After seeing Gojo in person, Mahito is convinced that their side already has a solid advantage over the wizard. They would be heavy favorites with Sukuna and can win without him. Expressing a crazed smile, Mahito suggests that they kill Yuji.
