Summary:
In just 0.2 seconds, Mahito’s incredibly fast domain extension almost knocks Aoi Todo out of the fight permanently. However, the Supreme Gorilla is stubborn as ever and uses his last contribution to the battle to put Yuji in position to finish it off. With everything that happened during his match with the jujutsu wizards, Mahito finally discovers the true nature of his soul and takes on a deadly new form.
Plot:
Mahito activates his all-or-nothing domain extension for 0.2 seconds, knocking both of his opponents out of sight. Todo acts quickly and activates the simple domain he learned from Yuki Tsukumo. Even faster is Yuji, who is already running towards Mahita in an attempt to banish him before Idle Transfiguration can activate. However, Mahito is the fastest of the three.
The two-step process of realizing one’s innate domain and activating their cursed technique fuses Mahito, who is awakened through the Black Flash, into one.
As a result of activating his domain expansion, Mahito momentarily enters Sukun’s innate domain. He asks Sukuna if this is a safe space and asks about his deal with Yuji. The Curse King remains silent, but Mahito retracts his questioning tone to challenge Sukuna. Mahito arrogantly states that Yuji will be dead before Sukuna switches consciousness with him and tells the Curse King to shut up and watch.
As the Self-Embodiment of Perfection ends, Tod’s left hand begins to transform. Yuji turns to check on his battle partner and Mahito knocks him to the ground while his back is turned. Todo quickly cuts off his hand, but this leaves him vulnerable to the approaching Cursed Spirit of a special rank.
Once the domain extension is activated, the user’s innate technique becomes difficult to control. Mahito realized this fact after escaping from Satozakura High. Instead, he attacks Tod with a powerful Black Flash-enhanced gut punch that brings the top-knot gorilla ashore.
A 1st level wizard survives a heavy blow. Todo instinctively focused all of his cursed energy on defending the blow and minimizing the damage, surprising Mahita. The Cursed Spirit will be able to reactivate Idle Transfiguration and plans to kill Tod with another hit. Mahita’s concentration is suddenly interrupted when Toda’s necklace falls to the ground and shatters a small frame containing Yuji and Takada’s photos.
While his opponent is distracted, Todo uses Mahito’s hand to clap and activate Boogie Woogie. Todo immediately switches places with Yuji, who hits Mahito in the face with another Black Flash. Todo collapses and looks at his remaining arm while expressing that he is thankfully alive. Ready to finish the fight alone, Yuji looks back at Todo and thanks him for all his help.
Badly injured, Mahito creates a polymorphic soul isomer to contain Yuji. Mahito admits that the gorilla was a problem for him until the very end. Despite his exhausted state, Mahito believes he has found the true essence of his soul from the previous exchange. Yuji defeats the Polymorphic Soul Isomer and Mahito evolves into his final stage of being, emerging from his cocoon in meaning. Mahito activates Idle Transfiguration: Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing! Feeling reborn in his new form, Maito asks Yuji to wish him a happy birthday.
