Plot:
When Jiro Awasaka is defeated, Yuji and Megumi break the two ordered curtains he was holding and deactivate the curtain that prevents wizards from entering Shibuya Station. This takes place at 22:04. on Metropolitan Expressway Route No. 3 Shibuya Line.
All three cursed objects were broken by the boys, but only one of them was actually used to throw away the curtain. Megumi wants to question the old man to answer him, but he will be unconscious for a while.
Suddenly, Ino is thrown from the top of Shibuya Tower. Megumi notices in time to call Nue to save him from falling to his death. Yuji grabs Ino and is horrified at the shape she is in. In the form of Toji Fushiguro, Ogami's grandson comments that the curtain is drawn and asks what they should do now. Ogami asks him to go down and continue killing wizards, but Toji's personality comes out in full force. He takes over his grandson's body and tells the old hag not to order him around.
Worried, Ogami jumps in, not understanding how this happened. She only intended to summon body information and not soul with her séance technique to prevent this worst case scenario. Toji also doesn't know what's going on, but thinks that his heaven-bound body has overtaken the host's soul. Ogami doesn't believe this is possible, and Toji decides to follow her orders, starting with killing the old wizard first.
Yuji wants to return to the tower and avenge Ino, but Megumi reveals that he is not dead and asks Yuji to focus on saving Gojo sensei. While Yuji heads to the station, Megumi agrees to take care of Ino. The latter does not like the idea of being alone in Shibuya, but Yuji is convinced that he has Mechamaru with him. They part ways and Megumi reminds Yuji that she will kill him if he dies again.
Meanwhile, Nanami finds Ijichi unconscious and bleeding at Shibuya Station at Exit 13. He is horrified to see his dying friend. At the same time, on the Fukutoshin Line Platform between Meiji-Jingumae and Shibuya Station, Mei Mei easily defeats curse user Niji Ebina in close combat with her battle axe.
Ui Ui sits on top of Eba's defeated cursed spirit while Mei Mei explains how her innate technique works. Mei Mei grew to believe that her manipulation of the black bird was a weak technique, so she focused on being effective without it. It was worth the training as Mei Mei can honestly say that it made her master Ebina. He begs for forgiveness and asks to leave, but Ui Ui tells him to be quiet while his sister keeps talking.
Mei Mei explains that for the time being only wizards can use cursed energy to strengthen their own bodies. When Mei Mei realized this, she was initially devastated, but this realization allowed Mei Mei to go back and master her innate technique, making her the blossoming 1st rank wizard she is today. Ui Ui claps and makes Ebina clap for his sister as well. Mei Mei says it's time to die now that she's done, and Ebina bows and continues to plead for mercy.
Mei Mei amusedly asks Ui Ui what a person's life value is proportional to. Ui Ui readily replies that the value of a life is proportional to how useful they are to Mei Mei. She then asks Ebina and he is unable to answer, keeping his head down in silence. A 1st level jujutsu mage believes that he cannot answer as a curse user and that the assassin is the reason he lost. She crushes his head with an ax, revealing that life itself is her service potential.
Ui Ui tells her sister that the curtain has been drawn and Mei Mei is excited at the prospect of Satoru Gojo getting his big time. Pseudo-Geto watches her movements from Shibuya station and is amazed that she won so quickly. Meanwhile, on Shoto Bunkamura Street, curse user Haruta Shigemo runs into Arata Nitta and Nobara Kugisaki in the middle of the road. Nobara tells Nitta to stay behind her stairs and face the curse user alone. After killing so many male managers, Shigemo is excited to finally find some girls to play with.
