Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 28

   

 Summary:

Yuuji vs. Mahita, the wild battle begins! Unable to rely on Sukun, Yuji takes advantage of his anger and attacks Mahito with everything he has. Mahito remains confident, but runs into trouble when he accidentally touches Sukun's soul. Even so, Mahita manages to inflict brutal blows on his opponent. Before their battle suddenly ends, Nanami arrives to help the badly injured Yuji.

Plot:

Geto told Mahita that Yuji has no regard for his own life and taking hostages won't work. Instead, Mahito plans to pit Yuji against himself, an invincible enemy, so that his fury succumbs to his reliance on Sukun. If Junpei's death isn't enough, Mahito is willing to kill everyone in the school to force Yuji to make a binding promise to Sukuna.

Mahita's aforementioned strategy assumes that he is stronger than Yuji. However, Mahito feels the pressure of his mortal enemy inside Yuji. Angrier than ever, Yuji lashes out and tries to hit Mahito. Mahito avoids him by reshaping his soul to give his body wings.

Yuji notices Mahito bending his body and decides not to try to fight him. At the same time, Mahito assumes that his best bet is not to transform his body to give Yuji a bigger target. Yuji decides to continue attacking relentlessly while Mahito takes on a more "inspired" form designed to kill.

Mahito transforms his arm into a blade mill and slashes the immediate surroundings. Yuji manages to avoid it and escapes out through the hole in the wall created by Mahito's attack.

Mahito continues and moves his arm into a drill for his next weapon. She fires at Yuji, who dodges the drill head and grabs the meat connecting her to Mahito. Yuji's hands quickly pierce the thorns growing from Mahito's flesh. Even so, Yuji doesn't let go and uses his monstrous strength to fling Mahito through the air before crashing down.

Mahito says that normal people would let it go, but Yuji has no time for words. He rushes at Mahit and hits his body with a powerful right hook. However, Mahito ignores the damage and smiles before creating more spikes from his body to pierce parts of Yuji's stomach.

While Yuji is stunned by the attack, Mahito claims that his opponent cannot win and demands that he switch with Sukuna. He tries to reshape Yuji's soul with Idle Transfiguration, but Sukuna stops it. Curse king tells Mahita to know his place. Mahito is never to touch Sukun's soul again and Sukun lets him go this time as they share a laugh at Yuji's expense.

As Mahito's attempt to touch Yuji's soul fizzles, he leaves him open to attack. Yuji furiously punches him in the head and declares that he won't switch and vows to kill Mahito himself. As he stumbles, Yuji follows up with a powerful roundhouse kick. He seems to have the upper hand and almost wins, but Mahito suddenly gets behind him.

Mahito, armed with a hand shifted into a mace shape, tries to crush Yuji from behind. Just before Yuji is hit, Nanami's ratio technique deflects Mahito's attack.
