Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 131

   

 Summary:

As the Shibuya incident comes violently to its conclusion, only Yuji is left to stand against Mahita. After emerging into his true form, Mahito plans to celebrate his rebirth by killing his nemesis.

Plot:

Shibuya was decimated by the jujutsu battle exchanges between Mahito and the wizards. Amidst the ruins of the city, Yuji stares down his greatest enemy, wondering what his latest transformation brings to the table. Idle Transfiguration: Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing allowed Mahita to ascend into his "true form". Feeling reborn, the cursed spirit asks Yuji to wish him a happy birthday to celebrate the monumental occasion.

After unleashing the Black Flash, Mahito believes it has tapped into his true unbridled soul. Yuji did not take his opponent as one on a journey of self-discovery. Mahito amusedly replies that his rebirth has just begun. Only after killing Yuji does the cursed spirit feel that it can truly be reborn.

Both fighters throw themselves at each other with blinding speed to reignite the battle. Mahito makes the first move, creating a shockwave with just a wave of his arm. Yuji ducked under the wave of debris and attacked with a direct kick that was caught by the black hair sticking out of Mahita's head. He tries to use the curse with a tail whip, but Yuji blocks it with his knee. Both fighters return to neutral where Yuji is able to parry Mahito's punch and counter with an upper body. However, Yuji's cursed energy blast does absolutely zero damage.

Mahito's body is now even harder than Choso's at the end of his jujutsu battle with Yuji. Mahito knocks Yuji away, forcing him to realize that the cursed spirit has surpassed his former state. They exchange blows, but Yuji's attacks are no longer able to hit his opponent.

Yuji is stunned and knocked into the street, creating a giant crater from the impact. The street crumbles and Yuji also falls to the bottom of the crater, where several pipes have burst. As water fills the bottom of the crater where Yuji faces Mahita, the former realizes that he can only win with Black Lightning infused with maximum cursed energy.

Yuji's foot suddenly sinks into the shallow water that forms at his feet. Mahito tries to take advantage of this but fails. The special class coughs up blood and smaller areas of his body suddenly disintegrate. Hitting Mahito with Black Flash right after Mahito activated the domain extension, Yuji took some serious damage. The lasting effects of their long battle are catching up with Mahita. Yuji hits his leg to wake up, prompting Mahita to remark that they both still have enough left in the tank.

Mahito rushes at his opponent as soon as he is able and kicks out a large amount of water. Yuji focuses on charging his cursed energy around his fist and ducks under Mahita's attack. As Yuji continues to hold his right hand into a fist, he deflects Mahito's attack. This puts them both in a position to attack with their free hand, with both fighters poised to deliver the final decisive blow.
