Long time no see, Okkotsu.

Don't come near me.

Oh, come on, don't be so cold.

I said don't.

Do you know how much I've wanted to slug you?

Just imagine how I've felt.

Right?

Stop it.

If you keep me on edge like this, \NI might just kill you.

Don't come near me!

Don't do it!

Rika!

Huh? Rika?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

A complete cover-up and a secret execution?

That's ridiculous.

The boy in question consented, though.

He's underage.

Just a 16-year-old child.

We also don't know how many he'd curse to death.

He's already turned \Nthe tables on three grade 2 sorcerers

He's already turned the tables on one first-grade and three second-grade sorcerers.

and a grade 1 sorcerer.

That's why you've turned to me.

Have you forgotten that?

Then you're actually...

Yes.

Okkotsu Yuta...

will be taken to Jujutsu High.

will be taken to Jujutsu Tech.

What is this,

Okkotsu Yuta?

It used to be a knife.

It used to be a knife...

I tried to kill myself,

but Rika interfered.

but Rika wouldn't let me.

That's dark.

You're starting at a new school today.

I'm not going.

I don't want to hurt anyone anymore,

so I'm not going outside anymore.

But...

living by yourself gets lonely.

The curse placed upon you

Depending on how it's used,

is one that can save people, \Ntoo, depending on how it's used.

the curse placed upon you is one that can save people too.

Learn how to use that power.

It's not like it'll be too late

to cast everything away after that.

Did you hear about the transfer student coming today?

They say he "stuffed" four \Nof his classmates into a locker.

He killed them?

Tuna mayo?

No, but gravely injured, apparently.

Hmm... Well, if he's cocky, I'll wring him out.

Bonito flakes.

I'll now... be introducing... the transfer student!

Everyone, get excited!

Get excited.

I heard he's an awfully sour one.

I'm not going to create the mood \Nfor someone like that.

Hard to get excited about welcoming someone like that.

Salmon.

Oh, well.

Come on in!

I sense a really damp mood in there.

I'll ignore him.

Wha?!

I'm Okkotsu Yut—

Is this some kind of test?

Hey.

You're cursed.

This is a place to learn about curses.

It's not a place for the cursed to be.

Not a place for the cursed to be.

Huh?

The number of people \Nthat die mysterious deaths or go missing

in Japan is over 10,000 a year on average.

in Japan is over ten thousand a year on average.

Most of those are casualties of curses

Most of those are casualties of curses\N born from the negative emotions of people.

born from the negative emotions of people.

Among them are also malicious \Ncases caused by curse users.

Only curses can affect other curses.

Only curses can fight other curses.

This is where we learn curses to exorcise curses:

Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

Tokyo Jujutsu Technical High School.

Tell me that ahead of time!

He just now told him that?!

You're just telling him that now?

Sorry.

Oh, you all should back away quickly.

Oh, I'd back away real quick if I were you.

Do not...

Wait! Rika!

...bully Yuta!

Over there, over there!

What is it?

Happy birthday, Yuta.

Yay! Can I open it?

Go ahead.

Huh? I can open it?!

Really? I can open it?!

I said go ahead.

Just do it already!

Wow!

Huh? A ring?

An engagement ring.

Engagement?

It's a promise.

That when we both grow up, we'll get married.

That when we grow up, we'll get married.

Is this real?!

Hey!

Hey! Call an ambulance!

Idiot! Look at her!

Are they okay?

There's no saving her!

What happened?

Her head's crushed in!

But still...

A child got run over by a car! Yes! Hurry!

Help them!

I can't go near that!

I'm not going near that!

Rika?

Yuta...

Yuta.

When we grow up,

we'll get married!

It's a promise.

So as you can see,

this is the boy cursed by Rika, \Nwho just loves him...

this is the boy cursed by Rika, who just loves him...

Okkotsu Yuta!

Be nice to him, everyone!

If you attack Yuta, \NRika's curse will activate... or not.

If you attack Yuta, Rika's curse will activate... or not.

Either way, be careful, everyone.

Say that sooner.

Should've said that sooner.

These guys are acting all rebellious,

so I'll have to make quick introductions.

I have a feeling this teacher is the problem.

This is the cursed tool user, Zenin Maki.

She uses special tools to exorcise curses.

This is the cursed speech user, Inumaki Toge.

This is the Cursed Speech user, Inumaki Toge.

He can only speak in rice ball ingredients, \Nso good luck conversing.

Kelp.

This is Panda.

I'm Panda. Nice to meet you.

Well, there you have it.

He didn't give me the explanation I wanted most!

Okay, now there are four first-years!

Three and one animal.

Three students and one animal.

For your afternoon jujutsu practice,

you'll be in pairs of two on two.

you'll be working in pairs!

Toge, Panda, pair up.

Let's do our best.

Maki, Yuta, pair up.

Geh!

Yuck!

She just voiced disgust?!

Did she just say "yuck"?!

U-Um, I-I hope we can work together.

U-Um...

I-I'm looking forward to working together.

You were bullied, weren't you?

Bull's-eye, huh?

I totally get it. Even I'd bully you.

Maybe it's because of your curse?

It's written on your face \Nthat you're branding yourself as a good person.

It's written on your face that you're \Nbranding yourself as a good person.

It's sickening.

Why are you acting like the victim \Nwhen you're being protected?

Why are you acting like the victim \Nwhen you're the one being protected?

You've been passive your whole life, haven't you?

I bet you've been passive your whole life.

Jujutsu High isn't so easy that

Jujutsu Tech isn't so easy that

you can get by without any goal.

Maki!

That's enough!

Bonito flakes.

Okay, fine. Get off my case.

Sorry about her.

She has a habit of acting like she understands others.

No...

It's fine...

She's right.

She's not wrong.

Where are we?

It's just an elementary school.

Huh?

Just an elementary school \Nwhere some children have gone missing.

Missing?!

It happens in places like this.

It's probably the work of a naturally-occurring curse.

You're saying the kids were kidnapped by a curse?

Yup.

Two so far.

Curses tend to settle in spots

Curses tend to manifest in places

that many people have memories of.

Schools, hospitals...

Places often remembered \Nwith negative emotions are a receptacle for them.

As those emotions build up,

they cause a curse to be born, like it was here.

they give birth to a curse, like the one here.

We're here to exorcise the curse \Nand save the children,

Exorcise the curse. Rescue the children.

or if they're dead, retrieve them.

Or retrieve them, in case they're dead.

Huh? Dead?

Emerge from darkness, blacker than darkness.

Emerge from the darkness that is darker than black.

Purify that which is impure.

It's turning into night?

It's a veil.

It's a barrier that will smoke out the curse

A barrier that will smoke out the curse,

and keep you all from being seen by those outside.

as well as keep you away from prying eyes.

It's easy to undo from inside.

Now, do be careful...

not to die.

D-Die? Mr. Gojo?!

Transfer student.

Don't get distracted.

I-It's coming this way!

T-They're coming this way!

Wh-Wh-What do we do?!

Don't scream.

Remember this.

Remember this:

The weaker curses are,

the more they group together.

the more they tend to group together.

Of course, the same could be said for humans.

Though, the same could be said for humans.

Incredible...

Just one blow...

Come on, let's move it.

Huh? Where to?

Inside, obviously.

Zenin, aren't you scared?

Miss Zenin, aren't you scared?

Don't use my last name.

S-Sorry...

But it really seems like ghosts would be here.

Though we've already seen some.

There aren't many curses here, \Neven though the veil's been drawn.

No, they're here, just not attacking.

Is it because he's here?

Something just moved!

Hey!

Yes?!

What grade are you?

Huh? In English proficiency?

Jujutsu sorcerers are ranked in grades from 4 to 1.

Jujutsu sorcerers are ranked in grades from four to one.

But I only just came to Jujutsu High.

But I only just came to Jujutsu Tech.

I don't think I have that.

I don't think I'm ranked yet.

Ugh, forget it.

Show me your student ID.

Just show me your student ID.

You got one from that dumb blindfolded guy, right?

Dumb blindfolded guy?

Yes, here you go.

Well, if you joined with no prior history, \Nyou're probably grade 4...

Well, if you joined with no prior history, \Nyou're probably a fourth-grade...

Special-grade?!

Special grade?!

Special-grade is above even grade 1, isn't it?

Special grade is above even first grade, isn't it?

This sounds like it has to be a joke!

This has to be some kind of joke!

Zenin!

Miss Zenin!

Zenin! Zenin!

Miss Zenin! Miss Zenin!

Behind you.

Shit!

You're way too damn big!

You bastard!

Shit! Shit!

I dropped my cursed tool!

Let us out, damn it!

Let us outta here, dammit!

Where are we?

We're in that curse's stomach!

You shouldn't be passing out over this.

You mean it ate us?!

That's right!

I thought you were being protected by your curse?!

Even I don't know what makes Rika come out!

More importantly, what do we do now?!

After time passes and the veil goes away, \Nhelp will come for us.

This is embarrassing! Shit!

Help!

Huh?

Please! He's about to die!

You're saying the kids were kidnapped by a curse?

Yup.

Two so far.

We're here to exorcise the curse \Nand save the children,

Exorcise the curse. Rescue the children.

or if they're dead, retrieve them.

Or retrieve them, in case they're dead.

Thank goodness they're alive.

No, it's not good.

Look closer.

Take a closer look.

The big one's obviously been \Naffected by the curse, too.

The big one's obviously been affected by the curse too.

Both of them could die at any minute.

Oh, no...

What do we do?!

There's nothing we can do!

We can only wait for help!

Not everyone has a resistance to curses like you do!

Not everyone has resistance to curses like you do!

Zenin?

Miss Zenin?

Zenin?!

Miss Zenin?!

What's this wound?

Are you cursed?

Is she going to die?

Please, save us, mister!

Please!

You keep asking, but I can't—

Okkotsu!

Seriously, why did you come

Why the hell did you even come

to Jujutsu High?!

to Jujutsu Tech?!

What do you want to do?!

What do you want to have?! \NWhat do you want to achieve?!

I... don't want anyone to get hurt anymore.

I tried to lock myself away and disappear.

But I was told it's lonely being all by myself,

and I couldn't argue.

I want to be with people!

I want to be needed by someone!

I want the confidence to say it's okay that I'm alive!

I want the confidence to say it's okay for me to be alive.

Then exorcise them.

Then start exorcising.

Exorcise curses, exorcise them, \Nexorcise them over and over!

Confidence and friends will all come \Nto you after that!

That's the kind of place Jujutsu High is!

That's the kind of place Jujutsu Tech is!

Rika.

What?

What's up?

Lend me your strength.

Be quiet!

Now that's terrifying.

So this is the full picture of Orimoto Rika,

the special-grade cursed apparition?

the special-grade vengeful spirit?

So scary.

Oh my, how freaky.

Wow!

So pretty!

I'm so pretty!

I love it!

Everyone...

It's just a little further!

I need to get Mr. Gojo to check them all soon,

I need to hurry and get them to Mr. Gojo

while Rika's distracting the curses!

I can't collapse yet!

Not yet!

Haven't you decided...

that now's a good time for a change?!

You can do it,

You can do it, Yuta.

Yuta.

Yeah, I will!

Welcome back.

You did well.

They said both Maki and the kids will be fine.

Thank goodness.

That's a relief.

You don't look very satisfied.

You don't look too relieved.

I managed to call Rika \Nout myself for the first time.

I managed to call Rika out myself for the first time.

Really? That's a step forward.

One, two...

Stop, Yuta!

I said stop!

Stop, Rika!

Cut it out, Rika!

There! Take that!

It's a promise.

When we both grow up, we'll get married.

When we grow up, we'll get married.

Sure!

Then we'll be together forever and ever!

What's wrong?

Nothing...

Just remembering something.

I don't think Rika cursed me.

I think I might have cursed Rika.

This is my personal theory,

but there's no curse more twisted than love.

Mr. Gojo.

While I'm at Jujutsu High,

While I'm at Jujutsu Tech,

I'll break Rika's curse.

The special-grade cursed apparition, Orimoto Rika,

The special-grade vengeful spirit, Orimoto Rika,

was fully manifested for 422 seconds.

We entrusted you with Okkotsu precisely \Nto prevent this sort of thing.

We entrusted you with Okkotsu precisely \Nto prevent situations like this.

There's no room for excuses,

Gojo Satoru.

Well, I never planned on making any excuses.

How can you joke about this?!

How dare you take this lightly?!

If Orimoto Rika had remained out of control,

she could have wiped out an entire town!

I would have risked my life to stop her.

Listen, there's only one thing \Nwe can say about that curse:

The thing is, there's only one word \NI'd use to describe this curse:

"I don't understand."

Incomprehensible.

Why did a little girl who wasn't \Nfrom any line of jujutsu sorcerers

Why did a little girl who wasn't \Nfrom any line of sorcerers

become such an immense curse?

We can't control something we don't understand.

You can't control something you don't understand.

So it'll take trial and error.

So it's gonna take some trial and error.

Just leave it alone for a while.

Do not forget that Okkotsu's secret execution \Nwas only suspended.

Do not forget that Okkotsu's\Nsecret execution was merely suspended.

And don't you forget

And don't you forget,

that if it comes to that,

if it comes down to that,

I'll side with Okkotsu.

Christ, damn rude geezers.

Christ, damn arrogant geezers.

I don't ever want to become like them.

I'll have to be careful.

Besides,

no one's allowed to take youth away from young people.

Maki, Toge, last lap.

No one is.

Absolutely no one.

Well, go ahead.

S-Sure...

It's nearly impossible to exorcise \Na curse as big as Orimoto Rika.

It's nearly impossible to exorcise \Na curse as strong as Orimoto Rika.

However, breaking it is a different story.

You have to read the thousands, \Nmaybe tens of thousands, of knots of cursed energy,

and unravel them one by one.

It's a method that can only be pursued by you, \Nthe one she's cursed.

It's something that can only be done by you—the one who is cursed.

What exactly do I do?

Use this.

A katana?

Curses are most stable \Nwhen they're possessing an object.

Curses are most stable \Nwhen they're possessing something.

Back then, you used \Nthat ring to connect to Orimoto Rika.

You used the ring to connect to Orimoto Rika earlier.

The pipeline's already there.

So now you need to borrow part of Rika's curse,

imbue it into the katana, and control it.

Increase the amount as you repeat it,

and eventually you'll have \Nall of it under your control.

Then you're free.

Do that and you'll be free.

Both you and her.

Imbue the curse into the katana...

And at the same time...

But that's not all!

You need to learn how to wield a blade!

You're super weak, after all.

First, we'll have to train you thoroughly.

First, we're gonna put you through the wringer!

Tuna.

Hey, hey, everyone!

How's it going?

Oh, uh...

Don't get distracted.

Right.

Take your stance already, idiot!

She's ruthless!

Right!

Yes ma'am!

You're going to land a blow on me, aren't you?

Are you gonna score that hit sometime today?

Yes!

Of course!

She dodged that?!

But she's off-balance!

I'll get her on the landing!

No way!

There, you're dead.

I win again.

Was that last part necessary?

Don't be soft.

Don't get complacent.

You should always treat it like it's a real battle.

Pain or the lack thereof makes \Na huge difference in how fast you grow.

Experiencing pain or avoiding it makes \Na huge difference in how fast you grow.

That's right. I'm...

One more, please!

I'm going to break Rika's curse!

It's been three months \Nsince Yuta came to Jujutsu High.

It's been three months \Nsince Yuta came to Jujutsu Tech.

His movements have gotten a lot better.

Salmon.

His personality is more positive now, too.

He's more cheerful now, too.

Salmon roe.

Maki looks like she's having fun, too.

Maki looks like she's having fun as well.

Before now, she didn't get to spar much \Nwith a fellow weapon—

Revelation!

Yuta! Hey, come here!

Yuta! Get over here!

Come on!

Huh?

What's up, Panda?

A super important discussion! Listen closely!

A super important question! Listen closely!

Do you prefer big boobs or small boobs?

Right now?!

I've never really given it much thought...

But I suppose I prefer them somewhat big?

Oh-ho?

Maki!

Huh?

What?

You've got a chance!

Chance! Chance! Chance!

Chance!

What crazy ideas are you getting? I'll kill you!

Don't be so shy! Are you an elementary schooler?

Don't be embarrassed. What are you, a kid?

All right, I'll kill you!

I don't give a damn about CITES!

I don't give a damn about the WWF!

What's this about?

What's that all about?

Kelp.

I still don't really understand Inumaki,

so he's a little scary...

Okay, gather round!

You two, continue your training.

Toge, you've been requested.

It's a curse you're perfect for.

It's a curse that's right up your alley.

Go exorcise it quickly.

Salmon.

Requested?

Toge's the only grade 2 sorcerer among us first-years.

Toge's the only second-grade sorcerer among us first-years.

He's allowed to take missions on his own.

Wow, that's impressive.

You're a special-grade.

Says the special grade!

You go with him, Yuta.

You'll be Toge's support.

Huh? Support?

Huh? I'm supporting him?

Well, more like an observer, really.

There's a wide variety of jujutsu,

so you can assume there are as many ways \Nto exorcise a curse as there are sorcerers.

Toge's cursed speech is one good example.

Toge's Cursed Speech is one good example.

Make sure to learn from him.

Try to learn all you can from him.

Cursed speech?

Cursed Speech?

As the term suggests, it's imbuing speech with curses.

As the term suggests, it's imbuing speech with cursed energy.

Well, it'll make sense once you see it.

To break a curse, you must first understand curses.

To break curses, you must first understand curses.

My first real mission...

No, my second.

I'm so nervous!

Salmon.

Huh?!

Oh, I-I'm sorry...

Yuta, one second.

Yes?

Sorry, I won't be able to supervise this time.

But the job is one Toge could \Ntypically handle on his own,

But the mission is one that Toge could \Ntypically handle on his own,

so you can take it easy.

There's only one thing you need to be careful of.

There's just one thing you need to be careful about:

Don't let Rika out.

There's no guarantee she'll go back \Nin like she luckily did last time.

Only use what power of Rika's \Nthat you can imbue in your sword.

If you let her out fully again...

If I let her out?

You and I will both be killed!

Counting on you.

Counting on you!

Wha...

Why does he have to rub salt in that wound right now?!

Why drop the bomb on me now?!

We've arrived.

Hapina Shopping District.

At this time, most of the shutters here are closed.

Most of the shops have closed down by now.

"There's a project to demolish the entire area \Nand attract a shopping mall."

"There are plans to demolish the \Nentire area and build a shopping mall."

"During an inspection of the area, \Nwe confirmed a pack of low-level curses."

"We'd like to request that the grade 2 sorcerer, \NInumaki, exorcise them."

"We'd like to request the second-grade sorcerer, \NInumaki, to exorcise them."

Huh? Wait, where's sorcerer Inumaki?

Not here?

Thank you.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, Ijichi, over there.

Oh, Mr. Ijichi, over there.

He was shopping?

He went shopping?

What did you buy?

Throat medicine?

In short, it would cause all kinds of issues down the road

if the building they're spending so much \Nmoney on developed a bad history,

so they want us to exorcise it now.

so they want us to exorcise it immediately.

Salmon.

Now, I'll draw the veil.

Then allow me to cast the Veil.

Good luck.

He said it was a pack of low-level curses.

Pollack roe.

I smell olives.

The weaker curses are, the more they group together.

The weaker curses are, the more they tend to group together.

Even so, there's just too many of them!

Inumaki?!

It's dangerous if you get that clo—

Explode.

Explode!

This is cursed speech?

Explode!

Huh? Oh... It's over already?

Explode!

This is Cursed Speech?

Huh, that's it? We're done already?

Tuna mayo.

His voice is really worn out!

His voice totally went hoarse!

Oh, that explains the throat medicine.

That's an incredible power,

but it comes with a good deal of risk, too.

but it comes with a good deal of risk too.

Bonito flakes...

What's wrong?

Huh? You're right.

Oh, you're right.

The veil isn't lifting.

Huh?

We won't be able to get out.

Looks like we can't get out.

What is this curse?\N Its presence is nothing like the ones from before...

Inumaki!

Twist!

What, what, what?! What is that?!

That curse...

He said they'd be low-level!

This isn't what we were told!

There's that thing's size, too.

It's way scarier than the big guy \Nfrom the elementary school.

That's right!

Inumaki, you're hurt.

Is your finger all right?

Wow, that looks painful.

Salmon.

You shouldn't mess with it!

Sorry.

It's my fault.

It doesn't seem to be pursuing us or searching for us.

It doesn't seem to be chasing after us in particular.

I'll contact Ijichi.

I'll contact Mr. Ijichi.

Out of service?

No signal?

But why?

How come?

Bonito flakes.

Huh?

Because of the veil?

If the veil won't lift,

then we have to exorcise it, right?

Inumaki?

Should you be moving around already?

Kelp.

You're going to go alone?

Thank you, Inumaki.

But I'm all right.

Let's both do our best together!

Get him, Yuta!

It's mad?! Why?!

It was already scary enough!

As if it wasn't already scary enough!

Don't take your eyes off him.

Don't stop moving.

Imbue the curse into the katana.

Inumaki is kind.

Inumaki is incredibly kind-hearted.

He doesn't want to accidentally curse others,

so he speaks in rice ball components—\Nwords that can't carry curses.

so he speaks in rice ball ingredients—\Nwords that can't carry curses.

Even today, he helped me out.

He saved me today as well.

He tried to keep me away from danger.

Even back then,

Even back when I was nervous,

he was showing consideration \Nfor my anxiety, wasn't he?

he was trying to calm me down, wasn't he?

Too shallow!

And he's tough!

His skin is so tough!

I'm still no match for this curse, but...

I'm still no match for this curse.

However...

Inumaki!

I'll make sure to respond to Inumaki's kindness!

Get crushed!

Wow!

Mustard leaf!

Oh, I'm fine.

Oh... I'm fine, I'm fine.

It's only a scratch.

Salmon.

Yeah, good work!

Once I break Rika's curse,

I'll be a normal person.

I won't be able to stay at Jujutsu High anymore,

I won't be able to stay at Jujutsu Tech anymore,

but until then,

I want to be useful to everyone.

Oh, what do we do about the veil?

What a shame.

I came here to see this rumored Rika.

As a fellow special-grade, \NI was hoping to meet her soon.

I needed to deliver something he dropped, too.

I have to return something you dropped, too.

Toge's cursed speech

Toge's Cursed Speech, you see,

is something he's been able to use since he was born,

so back in the day, he struggled quite a bit.

Cursing people by accident and such.

His situation was rather similar to yours.

That's why he's been worried about you \Nsince the day you transferred in.

It's easy to misunderstand him,

but he's a good guy.

I hope you'll be kind to him.

Please continue to be nice to him, okay?

Yeah, I'll—

Come on, let's start morning training!

Oh, right.

Panda! What are you laughing about?!

Panda! What are you giggling about?!

I'll kill you!

Huh? It's nothing, though.

Maki, hey...

I'd like to imbue my curse

I want to channel cursed energy through my sword more smoothly. Do you know any tricks?

into my katana more smoothly. Do you know any tricks?

Nope.

Don't ask me about cursed energy.

I scoured every inch of the shopping district,

and I found three different types of residuals.

and found three different types of residuals.

Even Ijichi said we weren't likely \Nto find any more than that.

According to Mr. Ijichi, \Nthe chances of finding anything more are slim.

Okay, got it. Thanks.

You bet!

My apologies.

Our inspection showed that someone lowered \Na second veil on top of my own.

Our inspection revealed that someone lowered a second veil on top of my own.

In addition,

Additionally,

a semi-first-grade curse made \Nan unexpected appearance.

It's my fault for not being more thorough.

I'll accept any punishment.

No, you're fine. You were just outclassed.

Meaning?

M-Meaning?

Do you have an idea who did it?

Do you know who is behind this?

Geto Suguru.

One of the four special-grade jujutsu sorcerers,

who was banished from Jujutsu High

who was banished from Jujutsu Tech

after cursing over a hundred civilians to death.

for cursing over a hundred civilians to death.

He's the worst curse user.

The worst curse user around.

Really, I'll be fine. Let's go home now.

It's all right. Just wait a little longer.

But...

So, you said your daughter \Nwas being haunted by a ghost.

Isn't that right, Sato?

Isn't that right, Mrs. Sato?

Ah, yes... um... it's Saito, though...

No, you are Sato.

That's what I've decided, so Sato is better.

Uh-huh...

Mom, let's go home.

But you haven't been able to sleep lately, right?

This is so shady, though.

You constantly feel a piercing gaze upon you.

Sometimes your shoulders feel heavy, \Nand it gets hard to breathe, doesn't it?

Almost as if you've forgotten how to breathe.

And you often

dream of being raped.

How did you know that?

Don't move.

Huh? No way... I feel much better!

Honestly, I don't know how we could ever repay you.

Oh, no, we should all help \Neach other in times of need.

Please rely on me anytime you need to.

See, I told you he was simply godly!

Yeah.

Godly, huh?

You're a smart one, aren't you?

Aren't you a smart one.

Filthy monkey who can't even use jujutsu.

At least for a filthy monkey \Nwho can't even use sorcery.

Your true feelings are showing, Mr. Geto.

Your true feelings are showing, Master Geto.

The leaders have all gathered in the meeting room.

What are you doing?

It's disinfecting deodorant.

It's disinfectant deodorant.

I don't want everyone to catch the monkey smell.

Can't have that monkey stench infect others.

I'm so happy.

Man, I'm so happy.

How long has it been since we all gathered?

I know. Let's take a photo together \Nsince we're all here.

Where'd I put my single-lens?

Where'd I put my SLR?

Right here.

Geto! Give me Geto!

Geto! Damn you!

Geto, you bastard!

Well, if it isn't Kanemori.

Well, if it isn't Mr. Kanemori.

What brings you here in such a panic?

What brings you here in such a sweaty panic?

Don't play dumb!

Quit fucking around!

Hurry up and exorcise my curse!

Do you know how much I've paid you?!

Do you have any idea\N how much I've paid you for this?!

How much?

Roughly one hundred and five million yen.

But there have been no donations \Nfor the past six months.

No donations for the past six months, however.

Well—

W-Well—

Ah... I guess that's it for you.

What are you sayi—

All monkeys have their own role.

Monkeys all have their own roles to play.

There are money-collecting monkeys

and curse-collecting monkeys.

You're the former.

If you're out of money, I have no further use for you.

Screw you!

Disgusting.

Are they really the same species?

Are we really the same species?

That's why I'm always saying

they're monkeys.

The time is right, my family.

The time has come, my beloved family!

Let's lower the curtain on the age of monkeys

and build a paradise for jujutsu sorcerers.

First, we must fell \Nthe cornerstone of the jujutsu world,

First, we must fell the \Ncornerstone of the jujutsu world:

Jujutsu High.

Jujutsu Tech.

What's the matter, Yuta?

What's up, Yuta?

Uh, well... I just had a bad premonition.

You're imagining things.

Yep, imagining things.

Bonito flakes.

Huh?

Guys, wait...

Well, your ability to sense \Ncursed energy sucks, you know.

Well, your awareness of cursed energy sucks, you know.

Figures it'd be dulled, \Nwith something like Rika constantly with you.

Figures it'd be dulled, with something like Rika constantly around.

Tuna.

We still aren't picking up on any actions from Geto.

We still haven't picked up on any actions from Geto.

Are you sure you're not worried over nothing?

Are you sure you're not just being paranoid?

Principal, I'm sad to say that's not possible.

I'm sorry, Principal, but I'm sure about this one.

I confirmed it myself on the scene.

There's no way I would mistake \Nthe residuals of Suguru's cursed energy.

Suguru...

God damn it!

God damn!

Speak of the devil!

Gather all sorcerers on campus, \Nsemi-first-grade and above, in the circle out front!

That's unusual.

Yuta's intuition was correct.

Salmon.

You're... not staff.

I haven't seen that curse before.

Salmon roe.

Wow, big bird!

This place never changes.

This place is still the same as ever.

Yuck! Mr. Geto, is this really Tokyo?

Yuck! Master Geto, is this really Tokyo?

Feels like the sticks.

It's like, so country!

Nanako, that's rude.

What? But don't you think so, too, Mimiko?

Come on! Get off already!

Hurry up and get down already!

Aren't you cold?

Who are they?

Whoa, it's a panda!

How cute!

And who are all of you?

Intruders aren't allowed in, by Yuta here.

Intruders are not welcome here. \NMaster Yuta's orders.

Kelp!

Huh?

Go home before you get beaten!

Get lost before you get knocked out.

By Yuta!

By Master Yuta, I mean.

Huh?!

Nice to meet you, Okkotsu.

I'm Geto Suguru.

He's fast!

Huh? Oh... Nice to meet you...

Huh? Oh, nice to meet you.

You possess a truly wonderful power, I see.

I believe that

great power ought to be used toward great ends.

great power ought to be used towards great ends.

Have you ever questioned \Nthe current state of the world?

This world where jujutsu sorcerers act in secret

in order to protect the order of commonplace society.

You see, there's this established paradox

saying the strong must accommodate the weak.

that mistakenly says the strong must accommodate the weak.

It's so deplorable!

How deplorable!

Uh-huh...

The apex of all creation \Nhas halted its own path of evolution!

It's nonsense!

It's high time mankind reconsidered \Nits strategy for survival!

Which is why we'd like you to help us.

Help with what?

We're going to kill all non-sorcerers

and create a world with only jujutsu sorcerers.

What...

...is he saying?

Could you stop preaching your \Ncrazy beliefs to my students?

Could you keep your crazy talk away from my students?

Satoru! Long time no see!

First of all, get away from those kids, Suguru.

I had heard this year's first-years \Nwere all outstanding students.

I had heard this year's freshmen were all outstanding students.

Now I understand.

It was all your doing.

They're under your care.

A special-grade cursed human,

a cursed corpse mutation,

the descendant of the cursed speech users,

the descendant of the Cursed Speech users,

and...

the Zenin clan's failure.

You piece of...

You piece of shit!

Watch what you say.

Careful what you say now.

Because I don't need any monkeys like you in my world.

I don't need any monkeys like you in my world.

I'm sorry.

I don't really understand what you're talking about,

I don't really understand what you're talking about.

but...

But...

I can't help anyone who insults my friends!

My apologies. It wasn't my intention to upset you.

Then what exactly did you come for?

To declare war.

Everyone gathered here,

To all those gathered here,

open your ears and listen closely!

clear out your ears and listen up very closely.

On the coming December 24th, when the sun sets,

On the coming December 24th, at sundown,

we shall conduct the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

we will commence the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

It will take place in the crucible of curses,

It will take place in the Crucible of Curses,

Shinjuku, Tokyo...

Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward.

and the holy land of jujutsu,

As well as the Holy Land of Jujutsu, Kyoto.

Kyoto.

A thousand curses will be unleashed upon each location.

We will unleash a thousand curses upon each place.

Their sole command, of course, will be to massacre.

And of course, their command will be "massacre."

If you wish to avoid a scene straight out of hell,

come and stop it with all your might.

put your lives on the line and fight.

Let us freely

Let us curse each other

curse each other!

to our heart's content!

Mr. Geto!

Master Geto!

The store's gonna close!

The cafe's gonna close!

It's already that late?

I'm sorry, Satoru.

These girls just insist on getting crêpes from Takeshita Street.

These girls just insist on getting crepes from Takeshita Street.

Hurry!

So I'll be taking my leave.

Good grief. I don't see what's so good \Nabout a place with so many monkeys.

Man, I don't see what's so great \Nabout a place filled with monkeys.

Did you think we'd just let you leave?

What makes you think we'd just let you leave?

You don't want to do that.

Your precious students are within my range.

Well, everyone, see you on the battlefield.

Well then, everyone, see you on the battlefield.

Survival of the weakest.

That's the proper form society should take.

That's the ideal form society should take.

It should help the weak and discourage the strong.

It should help the weak and keep the strong in check.

Listen, Satoru.

Sorcerers exist to protect non-sorcerers.

That's your argument?

I hate righteousness.

Are you the strongest because you're Gojo Satoru?

Or are you Gojo Satoru because you're the strongest?

What are you trying to say?

If I could become you,

then wouldn't my foolish ideals \Nbecome reasonable possibilities?

I've decided how to live my life.

This is the path I've chosen.

All that's left is to do what I can to the best of my ability.

All that's left is to follow it to the best of my ability.

Geto Suguru.

A special-grade curse user \Nwho uses cursed spirit manipulation.

A special-grade curse user who uses Curse Manipulation.

He's able to draw in and manipulate \Nnaturally occurring, unbound curses.

It seems he's established a religious group \Nto collect curses from its followers.

He should still have \Nthe curses he previously possessed,

He should still have the curses he previously p

and considering the declining trend \Nin the number of curses reported in recent years...

His claim to possess 2,000 may not be a bluff.

Even so, statistically, most of them \Nhave to be weaklings at grade 2 or below.

Even with a generous estimate, \Nthere can't be much more than 50 curse users.

That's actuall

# Vodes v1

Long time no see, Okkotsu.
Don't come near me.
Oh, come on, don't be so cold.
I said don't.
Do you know how much I've wanted to slug you?
Just imagine how I've felt.
Right?
Stop it.
If you keep me on edge like this, \NI might just kill you.
Don't come near me!
Rika!
Huh? Rika?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
A complete cover-up and a secret execution?
That's ridiculous.
The boy in question consented, though.
He's underage.
Just a 16-year-old child.
We also don't know how many he'd curse to death.
He's already turned \Nthe tables on three grade 2 sorcerers
and a grade 1 sorcerer.
That's why you've turned to me.
Have you forgotten that?
Then you're actually...
Yes.
Okkotsu Yuta...
will be taken to Jujutsu High.
What is this,
Okkotsu Yuta?
It used to be a knife.
I tried to kill myself,
but Rika interfered.
That's dark.
You're starting at a new school today.
I'm not going.
I don't want to hurt anyone anymore,
so I'm not going outside anymore.
But...
living by yourself gets lonely.
The curse placed upon you
is one that can save people, \Ntoo, depending on how it's used.
Learn how to use that power.
It's not like it'll be too late
to cast everything away after that.
Did you hear about the transfer student coming today?
They say he "stuffed" four \Nof his classmates into a locker.
He killed them?
Tuna mayo?
No, but gravely injured, apparently.
Hmm... Well, if he's cocky, I'll wring him out.
Bonito flakes.
I'll now... be introducing... the transfer student!
Everyone, get excited!
Get excited.
I heard he's an awfully sour one.
I'm not going to create the mood \Nfor someone like that.
Salmon.
Oh, well.
Come on in!
I sense a really damp mood in there.
I'll ignore him.
Wha?!
I'm Okkotsu Yut—
Is this some kind of test?
Hey.
You're cursed.
This is a place to learn about curses.
It's not a place for the cursed to be.
Huh?
The number of people \Nthat die mysterious deaths or go missing
in Japan is over 10,000 a year on average.
Most of those are casualties of curses
born from the negative emotions of people.
Among them are also malicious \Ncases caused by curse users.
Only curses can affect other curses.
This is where we learn curses to exorcise curses:
Tokyo Jujutsu High School.
Tell me that ahead of time!
He just now told him that?!
Sorry.
Oh, you all should back away quickly.
Do not...
Wait! Rika!
...bully Yuta!
Over there, over there!
What is it?
Happy birthday, Yuta.
Yay! Can I open it?
Go ahead.
Huh? I can open it?!
I said go ahead.
Wow!
Huh? A ring?
An engagement ring.
Engagement?
It's a promise.
That when we both grow up, we'll get married.
Is this real?!
Hey!
Hey! Call an ambulance!
Idiot! Look at her!
Are they okay?
There's no saving her!
What happened?
Her head's crushed in!
But still...
A child got run over by a car! Yes! Hurry!
Help them!
I can't go near that!
Rika?
Yuta...
Yuta.
When we grow up,
we'll get married!
It's a promise.
So as you can see,
this is the boy cursed by Rika, \Nwho just loves him...
Okkotsu Yuta!
Be nice to him, everyone!
If you attack Yuta, \NRika's curse will activate... or not.
Either way, be careful, everyone.
Say that sooner.
These guys are acting all rebellious,
so I'll have to make quick introductions.
I have a feeling this teacher is the problem.
This is the cursed tool user, Zenin Maki.
She uses special tools to exorcise curses.
This is the cursed speech user, Inumaki Toge.
He can only speak in rice ball ingredients, \Nso good luck conversing.
Kelp.
This is Panda.
I'm Panda. Nice to meet you.
Well, there you have it.
He didn't give me the explanation I wanted most!
Okay, now there are four first-years!
Three and one animal.
For your afternoon jujutsu practice,
you'll be in pairs of two on two.
Toge, Panda, pair up.
Let's do our best.
Maki, Yuta, pair up.
Geh!
She just voiced disgust?!
U-Um, I-I hope we can work together.
You were bullied, weren't you?
Bull's-eye, huh?
I totally get it. Even I'd bully you.
Maybe it's because of your curse?
It's written on your face \Nthat you're branding yourself as a good person.
It's sickening.
Why are you acting like the victim \Nwhen you're being protected?
You've been passive your whole life, haven't you?
Jujutsu High isn't so easy that
you can get by without any goal.
Maki!
That's enough!
Bonito flakes.
Okay, fine. Get off my case.
Sorry about her.
She has a habit of acting like she understands others.
No...
She's right.
Where are we?
It's just an elementary school.
Huh?
Just an elementary school \Nwhere some children have gone missing.
Missing?!
It happens in places like this.
It's probably the work of a naturally-occurring curse.
You're saying the kids were kidnapped by a curse?
Yup.
Two so far.
Curses tend to settle in spots
that many people have memories of.
Schools, hospitals...
Places often remembered \Nwith negative emotions are a receptacle for them.
As those emotions build up,
they cause a curse to be born, like it was here.
We're here to exorcise the curse \Nand save the children,
or if they're dead, retrieve them.
Huh? Dead?
Emerge from darkness, blacker than darkness.
Purify that which is impure.
It's turning into night?
It's a veil.
It's a barrier that will smoke out the curse
and keep you all from being seen by those outside.
It's easy to undo from inside.
Now, do be careful...
not to die.
D-Die? Mr. Gojo?!
Transfer student.
Don't get distracted.
I-It's coming this way!
Wh-Wh-What do we do?!
Don't scream.
Remember this.
The weaker curses are,
the more they group together.
Of course, the same could be said for humans.
Incredible...
Just one blow...
Come on, let's move it.
Huh? Where to?
Inside, obviously.
Zenin, aren't you scared?
Don't use my last name.
S-Sorry...
But it really seems like ghosts would be here.
Though we've already seen some.
There aren't many curses here, \Neven though the veil's been drawn.
No, they're here, just not attacking.
Is it because he's here?
Something just moved!
Hey!
Yes?!
What grade are you?
Huh? In English proficiency?
Jujutsu sorcerers are ranked in grades from 4 to 1.
But I only just came to Jujutsu High.
I don't think I have that.
Ugh, forget it.
Show me your student ID.
You got one from that dumb blindfolded guy, right?
Dumb blindfolded guy?
Yes, here you go.
Well, if you joined with no prior history, \Nyou're probably grade 4...
Special-grade?!
Special-grade is above even grade 1, isn't it?
This sounds like it has to be a joke!
Zenin!
Zenin! Zenin!
Behind you.
Shit!
You're way too damn big!
You bastard!
Shit! Shit!
I dropped my cursed tool!
Let us out, damn it!
Where are we?
We're in that curse's stomach!
You shouldn't be passing out over this.
You mean it ate us?!
That's right!
I thought you were being protected by your curse?!
Even I don't know what makes Rika come out!
More importantly, what do we do now?!
After time passes and the veil goes away, \Nhelp will come for us.
This is embarrassing! Shit!
Help!
Huh?
Please! He's about to die!
You're saying the kids were kidnapped by a curse?
Yup.
Two so far.
We're here to exorcise the curse \Nand save the children,
or if they're dead, retrieve them.
Thank goodness they're alive.
No, it's not good.
Look closer.
The big one's obviously been \Naffected by the curse, too.
Both of them could die at any minute.
Oh, no...
What do we do?!
There's nothing we can do!
We can only wait for help!
Not everyone has a resistance to curses like you do!
Zenin?
Zenin?!
What's this wound?
Are you cursed?
Is she going to die?
Please, save us, mister!
Please!
You keep asking, but I can't—
Okkotsu!
Seriously, why did you come
to Jujutsu High?!
What do you want to do?!
What do you want to have?! \NWhat do you want to achieve?!
I... don't want anyone to get hurt anymore.
I tried to lock myself away and disappear.
But I was told it's lonely being all by myself,
and I couldn't argue.
I want to be with people!
I want to be needed by someone!
I want the confidence to say it's okay that I'm alive!
Then exorcise them.
Exorcise curses, exorcise them, \Nexorcise them over and over!
Confidence and friends will all come \Nto you after that!
That's the kind of place Jujutsu High is!
Rika.
What?
Lend me your strength.
Be quiet!
Now that's terrifying.
So this is the full picture of Orimoto Rika,
the special-grade cursed apparition?
So scary.
Wow!
So pretty!
I'm so pretty!
I love it!
Everyone...
It's just a little further!
I need to get Mr. Gojo to check them all soon,
while Rika's distracting the curses!
I can't collapse yet!
Not yet!
Haven't you decided...
that now's a good time for a change?!
You can do it,
Yuta.
Yeah, I will!
Welcome back.
You did well.
They said both Maki and the kids will be fine.
Thank goodness.
You don't look very satisfied.
I managed to call Rika \Nout myself for the first time.
Really? That's a step forward.
One, two...
Stop, Yuta!
I said stop!
Stop, Rika!
There! Take that!
It's a promise.
When we both grow up, we'll get married.
Sure!
Then we'll be together forever and ever!
What's wrong?
Nothing...
Just remembering something.
I don't think Rika cursed me.
I think I might have cursed Rika.
This is my personal theory,
but there's no curse more twisted than love.
Mr. Gojo.
While I'm at Jujutsu High,
I'll break Rika's curse.
The special-grade cursed apparition, Orimoto Rika,
was fully manifested for 422 seconds.
We entrusted you with Okkotsu precisely \Nto prevent this sort of thing.
There's no room for excuses,
Gojo Satoru.
Well, I never planned on making any excuses.
How can you joke about this?!
If Orimoto Rika had remained out of control,
she could have wiped out an entire town!
I would have risked my life to stop her.
Listen, there's only one thing \Nwe can say about that curse:
"I don't understand."
Why did a little girl who wasn't \Nfrom any line of jujutsu sorcerers
become such an immense curse?
We can't control something we don't understand.
So it'll take trial and error.
Just leave it alone for a while.
Do not forget that Okkotsu's secret execution \Nwas only suspended.
And don't you forget
that if it comes to that,
I'll side with Okkotsu.
Christ, damn rude geezers.
I don't ever want to become like them.
I'll have to be careful.
Besides,
no one's allowed to take youth away from young people.
Maki, Toge, last lap.
No one is.
Well, go ahead.
S-Sure...
It's nearly impossible to exorcise \Na curse as big as Orimoto Rika.
However, breaking it is a different story.
You have to read the thousands, \Nmaybe tens of thousands, of knots of cursed energy,
and unravel them one by one.
It's a method that can only be pursued by you, \Nthe one she's cursed.
What exactly do I do?
Use this.
A katana?
Curses are most stable \Nwhen they're possessing an object.
Back then, you used \Nthat ring to connect to Orimoto Rika.
The pipeline's already there.
So now you need to borrow part of Rika's curse,
imbue it into the katana, and control it.
Increase the amount as you repeat it,
and eventually you'll have \Nall of it under your control.
Then you're free.
Both you and her.
Imbue the curse into the katana...
And at the same time...
You need to learn how to wield a blade!
You're super weak, after all.
First, we'll have to train you thoroughly.
Tuna.
Hey, hey, everyone!
How's it going?
Oh, uh...
Don't get distracted.
Right.
Take your stance already, idiot!
She's ruthless!
Right!
You're going to land a blow on me, aren't you?
Yes!
She dodged that?!
But she's off-balance!
I'll get her on the landing!
No way!
There, you're dead.
I win again.
Was that last part necessary?
Don't be soft.
You should always treat it like it's a real battle.
Pain or the lack thereof makes \Na huge difference in how fast you grow.
That's right. I'm...
One more, please!
I'm going to break Rika's curse!
It's been three months \Nsince Yuta came to Jujutsu High.
His movements have gotten a lot better.
Salmon.
His personality is more positive now, too.
Salmon roe.
Maki looks like she's having fun, too.
Before now, she didn't get to spar much \Nwith a fellow weapon—
Revelation!
Yuta! Hey, come here!
Come on!
Huh?
What's up, Panda?
A super important discussion! Listen closely!
Do you prefer big boobs or small boobs?
Right now?!
I've never really given it much thought...
But I suppose I prefer them somewhat big?
Oh-ho?
Maki!
Huh?
You've got a chance!
Chance! Chance! Chance!
What crazy ideas are you getting? I'll kill you!
Don't be so shy! Are you an elementary schooler?
All right, I'll kill you!
I don't give a damn about CITES!
What's this about?
Kelp.
I still don't really understand Inumaki,
so he's a little scary...
Okay, gather round!
You two, continue your training.
Toge, you've been requested.
It's a curse you're perfect for.
Go exorcise it quickly.
Salmon.
Requested?
Toge's the only grade 2 sorcerer among us first-years.
He's allowed to take missions on his own.
Wow, that's impressive.
You're a special-grade.
You go with him, Yuta.
You'll be Toge's support.
Huh? Support?
Well, more like an observer, really.
There's a wide variety of jujutsu,
so you can assume there are as many ways \Nto exorcise a curse as there are sorcerers.
Toge's cursed speech is one good example.
Make sure to learn from him.
Cursed speech?
As the term suggests, it's imbuing speech with curses.
Well, it'll make sense once you see it.
To break a curse, you must first understand curses.
My first real mission...
No, my second.
I'm so nervous!
Salmon.
Huh?!
Oh, I-I'm sorry...
Yuta, one second.
Yes?
Sorry, I won't be able to supervise this time.
But the job is one Toge could \Ntypically handle on his own,
so you can take it easy.
There's only one thing you need to be careful of.
Don't let Rika out.
There's no guarantee she'll go back \Nin like she luckily did last time.
Only use what power of Rika's \Nthat you can imbue in your sword.
If you let her out fully again...
If I let her out?
You and I will both be killed!
Counting on you.
Wha...
Why does he have to rub salt in that wound right now?!
We've arrived.
Hapina Shopping District.
At this time, most of the shutters here are closed.
"There's a project to demolish the entire area \Nand attract a shopping mall."
"During an inspection of the area, \Nwe confirmed a pack of low-level curses."
"We'd like to request that the grade 2 sorcerer, \NInumaki, exorcise them."
Huh? Wait, where's sorcerer Inumaki?
Not here?
Thank you.
Oh, Ijichi, over there.
He was shopping?
What did you buy?
Throat medicine?
In short, it would cause all kinds of issues down the road
if the building they're spending so much \Nmoney on developed a bad history,
so they want us to exorcise it now.
Salmon.
Now, I'll draw the veil.
Good luck.
He said it was a pack of low-level curses.
Pollack roe.
I smell olives.
The weaker curses are, the more they group together.
Even so, there's just too many of them!
Inumaki?!
It's dangerous if you get that clo—
Explode.
This is cursed speech?
Huh? Oh... It's over already?
Tuna mayo.
His voice is really worn out!
Oh, that explains the throat medicine.
That's an incredible power,
but it comes with a good deal of risk, too.
Bonito flakes...
What's wrong?
Huh? You're right.
The veil isn't lifting.
Huh?
We won't be able to get out.
What is this curse?\N Its presence is nothing like the ones from before...
Inumaki!
Twist!
What, what, what?! What is that?!
That curse...
He said they'd be low-level!
This isn't what we were told!
There's that thing's size, too.
It's way scarier than the big guy \Nfrom the elementary school.
That's right!
Inumaki, you're hurt.
Is your finger all right?
Wow, that looks painful.
Salmon.
You shouldn't mess with it!
Sorry.
It's my fault.
It doesn't seem to be pursuing us or searching for us.
I'll contact Ijichi.
Out of service?
But why?
Bonito flakes.
Huh?
Because of the veil?
If the veil won't lift,
then we have to exorcise it, right?
Inumaki?
Should you be moving around already?
Kelp.
You're going to go alone?
Thank you, Inumaki.
But I'm all right.
Let's both do our best together!
Get him, Yuta!
It's mad?! Why?!
It was already scary enough!
Don't take your eyes off him.
Don't stop moving.
Imbue the curse into the katana.
Inumaki is kind.
He doesn't want to accidentally curse others,
so he speaks in rice ball components—\Nwords that can't carry curses.
Even today, he helped me out.
He tried to keep me away from danger.
Even back then,
he was showing consideration \Nfor my anxiety, wasn't he?
Too shallow!
And he's tough!
I'm still no match for this curse, but...
Inumaki!
I'll make sure to respond to Inumaki's kindness!
Get crushed!
Wow!
Mustard leaf!
Oh, I'm fine.
It's only a scratch.
Salmon.
Yeah, good work!
Once I break Rika's curse,
I'll be a normal person.
I won't be able to stay at Jujutsu High anymore,
but until then,
I want to be useful to everyone.
Oh, what do we do about the veil?
What a shame.
I came here to see this rumored Rika.
As a fellow special-grade, \NI was hoping to meet her soon.
I needed to deliver something he dropped, too.
Toge's cursed speech
is something he's been able to use since he was born,
so back in the day, he struggled quite a bit.
Cursing people by accident and such.
His situation was rather similar to yours.
That's why he's been worried about you \Nsince the day you transferred in.
It's easy to misunderstand him,
but he's a good guy.
I hope you'll be kind to him.
Yeah, I'll—
Come on, let's start morning training!
Oh, right.
Panda! What are you laughing about?!
I'll kill you!
Huh? It's nothing, though.
Maki, hey...
I'd like to imbue my curse
into my katana more smoothly. Do you know any tricks?
Nope.
Don't ask me about cursed energy.
I scoured every inch of the shopping district,
and I found three different types of residuals.
Even Ijichi said we weren't likely \Nto find any more than that.
Okay, got it. Thanks.
You bet!
My apologies.
Our inspection showed that someone lowered \Na second veil on top of my own.
In addition,
a semi-first-grade curse made \Nan unexpected appearance.
It's my fault for not being more thorough.
I'll accept any punishment.
No, you're fine. You were just outclassed.
Meaning?
Do you have an idea who did it?
Geto Suguru.
One of the four special-grade jujutsu sorcerers,
who was banished from Jujutsu High
after cursing over a hundred civilians to death.
He's the worst curse user.
Really, I'll be fine. Let's go home now.
It's all right. Just wait a little longer.
But...
So, you said your daughter \Nwas being haunted by a ghost.
Isn't that right, Sato?
Ah, yes... um... it's Saito, though...
No, you are Sato.
That's what I've decided, so Sato is better.
Uh-huh...
Mom, let's go home.
But you haven't been able to sleep lately, right?
This is so shady, though.
You constantly feel a piercing gaze upon you.
Sometimes your shoulders feel heavy, \Nand it gets hard to breathe, doesn't it?
Almost as if you've forgotten how to breathe.
And you often
dream of being raped.
How did you know that?
Don't move.
Huh? No way... I feel much better!
Honestly, I don't know how we could ever repay you.
Oh, no, we should all help \Neach other in times of need.
Please rely on me anytime you need to.
See, I told you he was simply godly!
Yeah.
Godly, huh?
You're a smart one, aren't you?
Filthy monkey who can't even use jujutsu.
Your true feelings are showing, Mr. Geto.
The leaders have all gathered in the meeting room.
What are you doing?
It's disinfecting deodorant.
I don't want everyone to catch the monkey smell.
I'm so happy.
How long has it been since we all gathered?
I know. Let's take a photo together \Nsince we're all here.
Where'd I put my single-lens?
Right here.
Geto! Give me Geto!
Geto! Damn you!
Well, if it isn't Kanemori.
What brings you here in such a panic?
Don't play dumb!
Hurry up and exorcise my curse!
Do you know how much I've paid you?!
How much?
Roughly one hundred and five million yen.
But there have been no donations \Nfor the past six months.
Well—
Ah... I guess that's it for you.
What are you sayi—
All monkeys have their own role.
There are money-collecting monkeys
and curse-collecting monkeys.
You're the former.
If you're out of money, I have no further use for you.
Screw you!
Disgusting.
Are they really the same species?
That's why I'm always saying
they're monkeys.
The time is right, my family.
Let's lower the curtain on the age of monkeys
and build a paradise for jujutsu sorcerers.
First, we must fell \Nthe cornerstone of the jujutsu world,
Jujutsu High.
What's the matter, Yuta?
Uh, well... I just had a bad premonition.
You're imagining things.
Yep, imagining things.
Bonito flakes.
Huh?
Guys, wait...
Well, your ability to sense \Ncursed energy sucks, you know.
Figures it'd be dulled, \Nwith something like Rika constantly with you.
Tuna.
We still aren't picking up on any actions from Geto.
Are you sure you're not worried over nothing?
Principal, I'm sad to say that's not possible.
I confirmed it myself on the scene.
There's no way I would mistake \Nthe residuals of Suguru's cursed energy.
Suguru...
God damn it!
Speak of the devil!
Gather all sorcerers on campus, \Nsemi-first-grade and above, in the circle out front!
That's unusual.
Yuta's intuition was correct.
Salmon.
You're... not staff.
I haven't seen that curse before.
Salmon roe.
Wow, big bird!
This place never changes.
Yuck! Mr. Geto, is this really Tokyo?
Feels like the sticks.
Nanako, that's rude.
What? But don't you think so, too, Mimiko?
Come on! Get off already!
Aren't you cold?
Who are they?
Whoa, it's a panda!
How cute!
And who are all of you?
Intruders aren't allowed in, by Yuta here.
Kelp!
Huh?
Go home before you get beaten!
By Yuta!
Huh?!
Nice to meet you, Okkotsu.
I'm Geto Suguru.
He's fast!
Huh? Oh... Nice to meet you...
You possess a truly wonderful power, I see.
I believe that
great power ought to be used toward great ends.
Have you ever questioned \Nthe current state of the world?
This world where jujutsu sorcerers act in secret
in order to protect the order of commonplace society.
You see, there's this established paradox
saying the strong must accommodate the weak.
It's so deplorable!
Uh-huh...
The apex of all creation \Nhas halted its own path of evolution!
It's nonsense!
It's high time mankind reconsidered \Nits strategy for survival!
Which is why we'd like you to help us.
Help with what?
We're going to kill all non-sorcerers
and create a world with only jujutsu sorcerers.
What...
...is he saying?
Could you stop preaching your \Ncrazy beliefs to my students?
Satoru! Long time no see!
First of all, get away from those kids, Suguru.
I had heard this year's first-years \Nwere all outstanding students.
Now I understand.
It was all your doing.
A special-grade cursed human,
a cursed corpse mutation,
the descendant of the cursed speech users,
and...
the Zenin clan's failure.
You piece of...
Watch what you say.
Because I don't need any monkeys like you in my world.
I'm sorry.
I don't really understand what you're talking about,
but...
I can't help anyone who insults my friends!
My apologies. It wasn't my intention to upset you.
Then what exactly did you come for?
To declare war.
Everyone gathered here,
open your ears and listen closely!
On the coming December 24th, when the sun sets,
we shall conduct the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
It will take place in the crucible of curses,
Shinjuku, Tokyo...
and the holy land of jujutsu,
Kyoto.
We will unleash a thousand curses upon each place.
And of course, their command will be "massacre."
If you wish to avoid a scene straight out of hell,
come and stop it with all your might.
Let us freely
curse each other!
Mr. Geto!
The store's gonna close!
It's already that late?
I'm sorry, Satoru.
These girls just insist on getting crêpes from Takeshita Street.
Hurry!
So I'll be taking my leave.
Good grief. I don't see what's so good \Nabout a place with so many monkeys.
Did you think we'd just let you leave?
You don't want to do that.
Your precious students are within my range.
Well, everyone, see you on the battlefield.
Survival of the weakest.
That's the proper form society should take.
It should help the weak and discourage the strong.
Listen, Satoru.
Sorcerers exist to protect non-sorcerers.
That's your argument?
I hate righteousness.
Are you the strongest because you're Gojo Satoru?
Or are you Gojo Satoru because you're the strongest?
What are you trying to say?
If I could become you,
then wouldn't my foolish ideals \Nbecome reasonable possibilities?
I've decided how to live my life.
All that's left is to do what I can to the best of my ability.
Geto Suguru.
A special-grade curse user \Nwho uses cursed spirit manipulation.
He's able to draw in and manipulate \Nnaturally occurring, unbound curses.
It seems he's established a religious group \Nto collect curses from its followers.
He should still have \Nthe curses he previously possessed,
and considering the declining trend \Nin the number of curses reported in recent years...
His claim to possess 2,000 may not be a bluff.
Even so, statistically, most of them \Nhave to be weaklings at grade 2 or below.
Even with a generous estimate, \Nthere can't be much more than 50 curse users.
That's actually the scary part.
I find it hard to believe he'd start \Na war he couldn't win.
God damn!
Put out a call for aid to all alumni, \Nthe three major clans, and even the Ainu Jujutsu Society.
It's all-out war!
This time, that curse, Geto, will be completely
exorcised!
That's what that muscle-brained principal \Nis probably spouting right now.
If we seriously tried to kill each other,
our chance of success would be about 30%.
If the Jujutsu Society joins in as well,
we'll barely have a 20% chance.
However,
there's just one move that makes \Nthat slim chance of victory
jump straight to 99%.
I kill Okkotsu Yuta and obtain \Nthe special-grade cursed apparition, Orimoto Rika.
They still naively believe my bluff \Nfrom my time in school.
It doesn't matter if the cursed spirit is bound.
So long as I kill its master,
I can absorb any curse I want.
With such high odds of victory,
the school won't use Okkotsu as one of their cards.
After all, there's a chance he could \Nwipe out both enemies and allies.
The true purpose of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons
is to get Okkotsu isolated and unprotected.
Now, let's raise the curtain on a new age.
It sounds like...
something crazy is going down.
Maki!
What are you doing here?
Classes are canceled for the week.
Well, I just felt kinda restless.
No one in the dorms is around, either.
That's because the second-years \Nwere dispatched to Kyoto earlier.
Toge and the third- and fourth-years \Nare in Shinjuku as backup.
The principal really likes Panda, too,
so he's probably with Toge.
I see.
Ask.
Huh?
You've been curious, right?
About why I'm called a failure.
Well, um... yes.
My family, the Zenin clan,
is one of the elite families of jujutsu sorcerers \Nknown as the three major clans.
Do you know what the minimum requirement \Nto be a jujutsu sorcerer is?
Huh? What is it?
It's being able to see curses.
Oh, right.
Ordinary people can sometimes see them \Nin special circumstances, like at death's door,
but I can't see curses without these lame glasses.
The cursed tools I use are already imbued \Nwith cursed energy.
It doesn't come from me.
Though, thanks to that, I got out of that family.
The food was awful, the rooms were small,
and it was crawling with old men I didn't know.
It seriously sucked!
Don't use my last name.
Not everyone has a resistance to curses like you do!
Don't ask me about cursed energy.
Why are you still a jujutsu sorcerer, then?
Because I'm spiteful.
I'm going to make that family cry \Nwhen I return to them
as a grade 1 sorcerer who can't see curses!
Then I'll crush the Zenin clan from within!
What?
Oh, I was just thinking that's so like you.
I wish...
I could be like you.
I wish I could be so strong and unyielding.
I wish I had never given birth to you.
You're the shame of the Zenin clan!
Everyone,
you don't want to turn out like Maki.
If there's ever anything I can help with, just ask.
Let's crush the Zenin clan! Or something.
Moron. There's no point if I don't do it by myself.
I'm going back to my room.
Okay. Later.
Am I an idiot?
Don't start thinking this means you've been accepted!
Emerge from darkness, blacker than darkness.
Purify that which is impure.
A veil was drawn over the school?
But who... and why?
Keep the destruction of buildings \Nand infrastructure to a minimum.
There's a chance some civilians \Nstill haven't evacuated.
If you find any, evacuate them.
Are you listening, Satoru?
There's one guy who looks like trouble.
I see. That bandaged guy.
Yes. We'll take on the rest.
I've said this many times, but...
I know.
We're only stalling them, right?
Let's just take it easy \Nand have some fun until Geto finishes his job.
You're here?
Is it a problem if I am?
What the hell are you doing here?
Sorry, but I don't have time to chat with monkeys.
Gojo!
I have a report!
What's the matter?
Well...
That guy loves to show off, \Nand he's not on the front lines?
Is he in Kyoto?
We should have received some kind of word if he was.
It's nothing. What's up?
I know this isn't the best time, \Nbut I thought it wise to speak up sooner.
It's about the investigation into Okkotsu \Nthat you previously requested.
Panda! Toge!
What is—
No questions!
I'm sending you two to Jujutsu High right now!
Huh?!
Geto is there now.
I'm absolutely, probably, certain!
Which is it?!
If my intuition is right,
in the worst case, Yuta and Maki could both die!
I'll head there right \Nafter I take care of that foreigner.
Protect those two.
Sorry, but defend them with your lives!
Right!
Salmon!
No way... They figured it out?
This is why I said you should \Nat least prepare a stand-in.
A bad dummy would only make things worse.
That's what Mr. Geto said.
Mimiko, Nanako!
What?
We're stepping up the plan. Engage.
I've been waiting for this!
I'm your opponent,
special-grade.
Sorry,
but I'm in a hurry right now.
A veil's been drawn!
Does that mean Satoru's intuition was right?
I'll break the veil!
Then we'll take the shortest route!
Pollack roe!
Oh?
Someone made a hole in the veil.
Nothing ever goes quite as planned.
Should take them five minutes \Nfrom the point of entry to here.
Should I ignore them, or should I take care of them?
It's so hard to decide.
They broke through all the walls to take the shortest route?
Not bad.
Maki!
Focus.
This guy can handle close combat, too?
Oh?
Predictable.
Because it was a feint.
Drumming Beat!
That was close.
Same to you.
Plummet!
Toge! You okay?
Caviar.
Yeah, Maki comes first.
Maki, are you okay?
Maki?
Mustard leaf.
N-Not yet...
Huh?
Another quake?
I wonder what's going on.
Wonderful.
Wonderful!
I am incredibly touched right now!
You all raced here to save Okkotsu, right?
Jujutsu sorcerers are sacrificing themselves \Nfor a fellow sorcerer!
Affection! Admiration!
The world I long for
is here before my eyes!
Maki?
To be honest,
I wanted you to live, too, Okkotsu.
But this is all for the future of the jujutsu world.
Panda...
Yuta...
Inumaki...
Run... away...
Come out, Rika!
I will kill you.
I'll murder you!
Quantity before quality.
What's your move, Queen of Curses?
Rika.
These three are horribly wounded, especially Maki.
I won't let you die!
Not fair, not fair!
It's always you, always you!
What are you doing, Rika?
Huh?
That woman saved me.
Handle her with more care \Nthan a butterfly or a flower!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Don't be mad.
I'm not mad.
Don't hate me.
I don't hate you.
Our enemy is that man there.
Yuta, do you hate him?
Yeah, I loathe him.
Then I hate him, too!
Welcome back.
Why did you stop attacking?
Healing with cursed energy requires \Nan advanced reverse cursed technique.
It was more advantageous \Nto let you divide your attention over there.
Now, shall we start where we left off?
Rika, we're doing that.
Snake Eyes and Fangs?
Those are...
The cursed seals of the Inumaki clan!
Die.
Wonderful!
Cursed speech is a powerful technique \Npassed down in the Inumaki clan,
yet this young man pulled it off \Nwith less than a year of studying jujutsu!
That really is hard to use.
The cursed energy scatters, and it's hard to aim.
Inumaki is incredible.
So Orimoto Rika's true form is ever-changing.
She's an endless bundle of cursed energy.
Yes.
My friends are amazing.
And you! You!
I want her even more.
I'll beat you to a pulp!
Why is Nanami in Kyoto?
I wanted him to see me shine!
Shut up!
Quit griping and fight!
There are still more coming!
Man, what a pain.
That makes fifty.
I've cleared the numbers required for the incentive,
so now to work a little bit more \Nand aim for that full bonus.
How old are you two?
Fifteen.
You're still just children.
It's not too late for you to turn back.
You don't know right from wrong, do you?
Annoying!
Mimiko, doesn't he totally piss you off?
Shall we hang him, Nanako?
None of you know, do you?
Just how jujutsu sorcerers are treated out \Nin the damn sticks that aren't even on maps.
Right or wrong?
You all can enjoy that by yourselves.
The way Mr. Geto puts it,
black is white, and white is black, too.
We both believe in the world he's envisioned.
Anyone who gets in his way...
...we'll hang!
Huh?!
Miguel?
What are you doing?!
Look, and figure it out!
You're tenacious.
That rope...
It has an unusual curse woven into it.
It's disrupting my techniques.
I barely have half left.
How many decades do you think it took
the sorcerers in my country to weave this one rope?!
Like I care.
One second of my time will outmatch it.
That's all there is to it.
You're in my way.
Not good! Gojo's snapped!
So this is the Limitless technique Geto mentioned.
It interferes on the atomic level,
controlling space-time \Nwith precise manipulation of cursed energy.
And what makes that all possible \Nis the power of those eyes.
Just over twelve more minutes until my quota.
I'll keep running for my life!
Wow!
Ouch!
That last round was dangerous.
I'll focus on hit-and-run.
I'll give everything I've got \Nto endure these last ten minutes.
If I die, I'm cursing you, Geto!
Ieiri, please look at this one, too.
I will. Set him down over there.
Right!
What were you all doing?
It's all right.
Ieiri will fix you up.
We're counting on you!
Sheesh.
You really forced a heap of trouble on us, Geto.
It's your first time \Nexperiencing such violent emotion,
and cursed energy is filling your body, isn't it?
That heightening of physical prowess, \Nthat sense of omnipotence...
Your senses must be sharpened, too.
The riff-raff are no match for you now.
I'll have to crush you myself.
Follow my lead, Rika.
Mankind stands at the top of the food chain,
yet they imagined the existence of higher beings \Nand called them gods.
Don't you find that strange?
Especially when we jujutsu sorcerers \Nexist without belief.
In the end, those monkeys
just want to avert their eyes \Nfrom the existence of those better than them.
Don't go saying childish crap \Nlike you want to be a god!
You're missing the point,
Okkotsu.
What I long for isn't enlightenment. \NIt's a chosen people.
There are times when the strong are buried \Nand oppressed by the weak due to sheer numbers.
And I'm telling you that \Nthe audacity of the monkeys who do that
makes me so sick I could vomit.
Yuta, Yuta...
It's all right. I'm used to it now.
Are we done debating?
He's even faster!
You shouldn't have done that.
When you imbue a curse like that too abruptly, \Nthe vessel won't last.
Didn't Satoru teach you that?
You imbue curses bit by—
You're not bad.
I don't understand!
I don't know about any \Nsorcerers outside of this school,
so I don't know
if you're right or not!
But in order to remain with all my friends...
In order for me to believe it's okay that I'm alive...
I have to kill you!
You're egotistical.
Still, self-affirmation, huh?
There's probably nothing more \Nimportant than that in life.
In which case, I'll also use \Nmy full force to kill you.
I won't compromise on quality or quantity anymore.
Did you know
there are only four people crowned special-grade?
Among curses, there are sixteen.
This is one of them.
Special-grade potential apparition,
Tamamo-no-mae incarnate!
On top of that,
I'll combine the 4,461 curses I possess into one,
and strike you with it.
Cursed Spirit Manipulation, Supreme Art:
Maelstrom.
Nanami.
I'll take care of it.
New Shadow Style, Simple Domain!
Quick Draw!
Don't let your guard down, Miwa!
Mechamaru, above!
You, too.
Everyone, stay alert.
Kamo.
Seven cursed spirits at two o'clock.
Roger that. Where did Todo go?
Oh, I think you'll see him soon.
Where have you been all this time, Todo—
Wh-What is that cursed energy?
That one's dangerous, Todo!
Don't rush in on your own!
Wait for back—
Starting at eight, the talk show's
Christmas live special will be
hosting Takada!
I can't keep wasting any time here!
Todo!
Kamo.
Another ten or more cursed spirits \Nare approaching from six o'clock.
Everyone, prepare to intercept them!
Jeez, there's no end to them.
When is this going to be over?
Okkotsu.
I'm truly glad I came to kill you \Nbefore you could fully wield Orimoto Rika.
It's a promise.
When we both grow up, we'll get married.
Sure.
Then we'll be together forever and ever!
Rika.
Yes?
Thank you for always protecting me.
Thank you for falling in love with me.
Could you lend me your power one last time?
I want to stop him.
I don't need anything else after that.
I'll give you my future, \Nmy heart, my body, everything.
From now on, we'll truly be together forever.
I love you, Rika.
Shall we die together?
Yuta! Yuta!
I love, love, love you!
He's offering himself as a sacrifice \Nto release the limit on her cursed energy?!
So that's how you want it, womanizer?!
That's rude.
It's pure love.
Then I fight for justice!
Wonderful!
Absolutely wonderful!
Truly the power to change the world!
If I had Rika, there would be no need \Nto sneak around gathering curses.
Next time.
Next time, she'll be mine!
You finally made it,
Satoru.
To think you'd be the one here at my end.
Is my family safe?
Every last one of them managed to escape.
The ones in Kyoto were under your orders, too, right?
Yeah.
Unlike you, I'm a kind man.
You sent those two assuming \Nthat I'd defeat them, didn't you?
To set Okkotsu off.
I trusted you.
Trusted that a man as principled as you wouldn't \Nkill off young sorcerers without a reason.
Trust, huh?
I didn't think I still had any of that left.
Return this for me, will you?
Was the elementary school your doing, too?
Yeah.
I can't believe you.
Do you have any last words?
No matter what anyone says,
I hate those monkeys.
But I never held any hatred for those in Jujutsu High.
I just couldn't wear a heartfelt smile in this world.
Suguru.
At least hit me with some curses at my end.
Yuta! Yuta!
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Hey, Yuta! Are you okay?!
Mustard leaf.
Wake up, Yuta!
Oh, he's awake.
Everyone...
Your injuries...
Maki. Inumaki.
Wait! Panda, your arm isn't healed!
Chill out. We're all doing better than you right now.
Unlike these other two, my arm can be fixed later.
Thanks for saving us.
Salmon.
Yuta...
Sorry, Rika.
I've kept you waiting.
What's the matter, Yuta?
Well, uh...
In exchange for borrowing her power,
um, I promised to go with Rika.
What?!
Don't you know that means dying?!
What were you thinking, you idiot?!
Uh, well, I...
Huh?
Rika?
Congratulations.
You managed to break the curse.
Who are you?
Your good-looking guy, Mr. Gojo Satoru!
I thought the theory Yuta came up \Nwith sounded interesting,
so I requested an investigation into their families.
The investigation of Rika's \Nwas finished quite a long time ago,
but Yuta's was full of holes at best.
So then it came to light.
You're the descendant of Sugawara Michizane!
That makes us super distant relatives!
Suga?!
Yay! Yay! Yay! Yuta, yay!
Huh? Who?
One of Japan's three great apparitions!
He's a super bigshot sorcerer.
Tuna.
You were right, Yuta.
Rika didn't place a curse on you.
You placed a curse on Rika.
Rika...
What do I do?! Is she going to die?! \NI have to save her!
Don't die! Don't die! Don't die! Don't die! Don't die!
That's right.
Back then, I rejected Rika's death.
Now the one who placed \Nthe curse has canceled the bond.
So long as the one \Nwho was cursed doesn't seek any penalty,
it's fully broken now.
Of course, that much was obvious \Nafter seeing her in that form.
It was all my fault, wasn't it?
I turned you into that form,
I hurt all those people,
and I nearly caused everyone to die \Nwhen Geto came after me!
It's all...
It's all my...
Yuta, thank you...
for giving me more time,
and letting me stay by your side.
These past six years,
I've been happier than I ever was while alive.
Bye-bye. Take care.
And don't come over here too soon, okay?
Okay.
See you later.
It's a bit late now,
but you weren't at fault for the incident with Geto.
He would've come to Jujutsu High \Nwhether you were there or not.
You think so?
Also, here.
Oh, my student ID.
You found it for me, Mr. Gojo?
No, not me.
My best friend.
The only one I had.
Come on, Yuta! How long are you gonna keep us waiting?
Let's go!
Yeah.
This is good.
Isn't it?
I used a spice called Royco.
That gives it a good flavor.
Royco is a magic powder \Nthat makes everything taste Kenyan when you add it.
More importantly, they really went home, right?
Yeah.
Good, then.
This really is good. It's like nikujaga.
Nikujaga?
Call it beef stew. Beef stew!
What's wrong?
What are you doing here?
Huh?
Mr. Gojo?
Hey. Long time no see.

# Vodes v2

Long time no see, Okkotsu.
Don't come near me.
Oh, come on, don't be so cold.
I said don't.
Do you know how much I've wanted to slug you?
Just imagine how I've felt.
Right?
Stop it.
If you keep me on edge like this, \NI might just kill you.
Don't do it!
Rika!
Huh? Rika?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
A complete cover-up and a secret execution?
That's ridiculous.
The boy in question consented, though.
He's underage.
Just a 16-year-old child.
We also don't know how many he'd curse to death.
He's already turned the tables on one first-grade and three second-grade sorcerers.
That's why you've turned to me.
Have you forgotten that?
Then you're actually...
Yes.
Okkotsu Yuta...
will be taken to Jujutsu Tech.
What is this,
Okkotsu Yuta?
It used to be a knife...
I tried to kill myself,
but Rika wouldn't let me.
That's dark.
You're starting at a new school today.
I'm not going.
I don't want to hurt anyone anymore,
so I'm not going outside anymore.
But...
living by yourself gets lonely.
Depending on how it's used,
the curse placed upon you is one that can save people too.
Learn how to use that power.
It's not like it'll be too late
to cast everything away after that.
Did you hear about the transfer student coming today?
They say he "stuffed" four \Nof his classmates into a locker.
He killed them?
Tuna mayo?
No, but gravely injured, apparently.
Hmm... Well, if he's cocky, I'll wring him out.
Bonito flakes.
I'll now... be introducing... the transfer student!
Everyone, get excited!
Get excited.
I heard he's an awfully sour one.
Hard to get excited about welcoming someone like that.
Salmon.
Oh, well.
Come on in!
I sense a really damp mood in there.
I'll ignore him.
Wha?!
I'm Okkotsu Yut—
Is this some kind of test?
Hey.
You're cursed.
This is a place to learn about curses.
Not a place for the cursed to be.
Huh?
The number of people \Nthat die mysterious deaths or go missing
in Japan is over ten thousand a year on average.
Most of those are casualties of curses\N born from the negative emotions of people.
Among them are also malicious \Ncases caused by curse users.
Only curses can fight other curses.
This is where we learn curses to exorcise curses:
Tokyo Jujutsu Technical High School.
Tell me that ahead of time!
You're just telling him that now?
Sorry.
Oh, I'd back away real quick if I were you.
Wait! Rika!
Over there, over there!
What is it?
Happy birthday, Yuta.
Yay! Can I open it?
Go ahead.
Really? I can open it?!
Just do it already!
Huh? A ring?
An engagement ring.
Engagement?
It's a promise.
That when we grow up, we'll get married.
Is this real?!
Hey! Call an ambulance!
Idiot! Look at her!
Are they okay?
There's no saving her!
What happened?
Her head's crushed in!
But still...
A child got run over by a car! Yes! Hurry!
Help them!
I'm not going near that!
Rika?
It's a promise.
So as you can see,
this is the boy cursed by Rika, who just loves him...
Okkotsu Yuta!
Be nice to him, everyone!
If you attack Yuta, Rika's curse will activate... or not.
Either way, be careful, everyone.
Should've said that sooner.
These guys are acting all rebellious,
so I'll have to make quick introductions.
I have a feeling this teacher is the problem.
This is the cursed tool user, Zenin Maki.
She uses special tools to exorcise curses.
This is the Cursed Speech user, Inumaki Toge.
He can only speak in rice ball ingredients, \Nso good luck conversing.
Kelp.
This is Panda.
I'm Panda. Nice to meet you.
Well, there you have it.
He didn't give me the explanation I wanted most!
Okay, now there are four first-years!
Three students and one animal.
For your afternoon jujutsu practice,
you'll be working in pairs!
Toge, Panda, pair up.
Let's do our best.
Maki, Yuta, pair up.
Yuck!
Did she just say "yuck"?!
U-Um...
I-I'm looking forward to working together.
You were bullied, weren't you?
Bull's-eye, huh?
I totally get it. Even I'd bully you.
Maybe it's because of your curse?
It's written on your face that you're \Nbranding yourself as a good person.
It's sickening.
Why are you acting like the victim \Nwhen you're the one being protected?
I bet you've been passive your whole life.
Jujutsu Tech isn't so easy that
you can get by without any goal.
Maki!
That's enough!
Bonito flakes.
Okay, fine. Get off my case.
Sorry about her.
She has a habit of acting like she understands others.
It's fine...
She's not wrong.
Where are we?
It's just an elementary school.
Huh?
Just an elementary school \Nwhere some children have gone missing.
Missing?!
It happens in places like this.
It's probably the work of a naturally-occurring curse.
You're saying the kids were kidnapped by a curse?
Yup.
Two so far.
Curses tend to manifest in places
that many people have memories of.
Schools, hospitals...
Places often remembered \Nwith negative emotions are a receptacle for them.
As those emotions build up,
they give birth to a curse, like the one here.
Exorcise the curse. Rescue the children.
Or retrieve them, in case they're dead.
Huh? Dead?
Emerge from the darkness that is darker than black.
Purify that which is impure.
It's turning into night?
It's a veil.
A barrier that will smoke out the curse,
as well as keep you away from prying eyes.
It's easy to undo from inside.
Now, do be careful...
not to die.
D-Die? Mr. Gojo?!
Transfer student.
Don't get distracted.
T-They're coming this way!
Wh-Wh-What do we do?!
Don't scream.
Remember this:
The weaker curses are,
the more they tend to group together.
Though, the same could be said for humans.
Incredible...
Just one blow...
Come on, let's move it.
Huh? Where to?
Inside, obviously.
Miss Zenin, aren't you scared?
Don't use my last name.
S-Sorry...
But it really seems like ghosts would be here.
Though we've already seen some.
There aren't many curses here, \Neven though the veil's been drawn.
No, they're here, just not attacking.
Is it because he's here?
Something just moved!
Hey!
Yes?!
What grade are you?
Huh? In English proficiency?
Jujutsu sorcerers are ranked in grades from four to one.
But I only just came to Jujutsu Tech.
I don't think I'm ranked yet.
Ugh, forget it.
Just show me your student ID.
You got one from that dumb blindfolded guy, right?
Dumb blindfolded guy?
Yes, here you go.
Well, if you joined with no prior history, \Nyou're probably a fourth-grade...
Special grade?!
Special grade is above even first grade, isn't it?
This has to be some kind of joke!
Miss Zenin!
Miss Zenin! Miss Zenin!
Behind you.
Shit!
You're way too damn big!
You bastard!
Shit! Shit!
I dropped my cursed tool!
Let us outta here, dammit!
Where are we?
We're in that curse's stomach!
You shouldn't be passing out over this.
You mean it ate us?!
That's right!
I thought you were being protected by your curse?!
Even I don't know what makes Rika come out!
More importantly, what do we do now?!
After time passes and the veil goes away, \Nhelp will come for us.
This is embarrassing! Shit!
Help!
Huh?
Please! He's about to die!
You're saying the kids were kidnapped by a curse?
Yup.
Two so far.
Exorcise the curse. Rescue the children.
Or retrieve them, in case they're dead.
Thank goodness they're alive.
No, it's not good.
Take a closer look.
The big one's obviously been affected by the curse too.
Both of them could die at any minute.
Oh, no...
What do we do?!
There's nothing we can do!
We can only wait for help!
Not everyone has resistance to curses like you do!
Miss Zenin?
Miss Zenin?!
What's this wound?
Are you cursed?
Is she going to die?
Please, save us, mister!
Please!
You keep asking, but I can't—
Okkotsu!
Why the hell did you even come
to Jujutsu Tech?!
What do you want to do?!
What do you want to have?! \NWhat do you want to achieve?!
I... don't want anyone to get hurt anymore.
I tried to lock myself away and disappear.
But I was told it's lonely being all by myself,
and I couldn't argue.
I want to be with people!
I want to be needed by someone!
I want the confidence to say it's okay for me to be alive.
Then start exorcising.
Exorcise curses, exorcise them, \Nexorcise them over and over!
Confidence and friends will all come \Nto you after that!
That's the kind of place Jujutsu Tech is!
Rika.
What's up?
Lend me your strength.
Now that's terrifying.
So this is the full picture of Orimoto Rika,
the special-grade vengeful spirit?
Oh my, how freaky.
Everyone...
It's just a little further!
I need to hurry and get them to Mr. Gojo
while Rika's distracting the curses!
I can't collapse yet!
Not yet!
Haven't you decided...
that now's a good time for a change?!
You can do it, Yuta.
Yeah, I will!
Welcome back.
You did well.
They said both Maki and the kids will be fine.
That's a relief.
You don't look too relieved.
I managed to call Rika out myself for the first time.
Really? That's a step forward.
One, two...
Stop, Yuta!
I said stop!
Cut it out, Rika!
There! Take that!
It's a promise.
When we grow up, we'll get married.
Sure!
Then we'll be together forever and ever!
What's wrong?
Nothing...
Just remembering something.
I don't think Rika cursed me.
I think I might have cursed Rika.
This is my personal theory,
but there's no curse more twisted than love.
Mr. Gojo.
While I'm at Jujutsu Tech,
I'll break Rika's curse.
The special-grade vengeful spirit, Orimoto Rika,
was fully manifested for 422 seconds.
We entrusted you with Okkotsu precisely \Nto prevent situations like this.
There's no room for excuses,
Gojo Satoru.
Well, I never planned on making any excuses.
How dare you take this lightly?!
If Orimoto Rika had remained out of control,
she could have wiped out an entire town!
I would have risked my life to stop her.
The thing is, there's only one word \NI'd use to describe this curse:
Incomprehensible.
Why did a little girl who wasn't \Nfrom any line of sorcerers
become such an immense curse?
You can't control something you don't understand.
So it's gonna take some trial and error.
Just leave it alone for a while.
Do not forget that Okkotsu's\Nsecret execution was merely suspended.
And don't you forget,
if it comes down to that,
I'll side with Okkotsu.
Christ, damn arrogant geezers.
I don't ever want to become like them.
I'll have to be careful.
Besides,
no one's allowed to take youth away from young people.
Maki, Toge, last lap.
Absolutely no one.
Well, go ahead.
S-Sure...
It's nearly impossible to exorcise \Na curse as strong as Orimoto Rika.
However, breaking it is a different story.
You have to read the thousands, \Nmaybe tens of thousands, of knots of cursed energy,
and unravel them one by one.
It's something that can only be done by you—the one who is cursed.
What exactly do I do?
Use this.
A katana?
Curses are most stable \Nwhen they're possessing something.
You used the ring to connect to Orimoto Rika earlier.
The pipeline's already there.
So now you need to borrow part of Rika's curse,
imbue it into the katana, and control it.
Increase the amount as you repeat it,
and eventually you'll have \Nall of it under your control.
Do that and you'll be free.
Both you and her.
Imbue the curse into the katana...
But that's not all!
You need to learn how to wield a blade!
You're super weak, after all.
First, we're gonna put you through the wringer!
Tuna.
Hey, hey, everyone!
How's it going?
Oh, uh...
Don't get distracted.
Right.
Take your stance already, idiot!
She's ruthless!
Yes ma'am!
Are you gonna score that hit sometime today?
Of course!
She dodged that?!
But she's off-balance!
I'll get her on the landing!
No way!
There, you're dead.
I win again.
Was that last part necessary?
Don't get complacent.
You should always treat it like it's a real battle.
Experiencing pain or avoiding it makes \Na huge difference in how fast you grow.
That's right. I'm...
One more, please!
I'm going to break Rika's curse!
It's been three months \Nsince Yuta came to Jujutsu Tech.
His movements have gotten a lot better.
Salmon.
He's more cheerful now, too.
Salmon roe.
Maki looks like she's having fun as well.
Before now, she didn't get to spar much \Nwith a fellow weapon—
Revelation!
Yuta! Get over here!
Come on!
Huh?
What's up, Panda?
A super important question! Listen closely!
Do you prefer big boobs or small boobs?
Right now?!
I've never really given it much thought...
But I suppose I prefer them somewhat big?
Oh-ho?
Maki!
What?
You've got a chance!
Chance!
Chance!
What crazy ideas are you getting? I'll kill you!
Don't be embarrassed. What are you, a kid?
All right, I'll kill you!
I don't give a damn about the WWF!
What's that all about?
Kelp.
I still don't really understand Inumaki,
so he's a little scary...
Okay, gather round!
You two, continue your training.
Toge, you've been requested.
It's a curse that's right up your alley.
Go exorcise it quickly.
Salmon.
Requested?
Toge's the only second-grade sorcerer among us first-years.
He's allowed to take missions on his own.
Wow, that's impressive.
Says the special grade!
You go with him, Yuta.
You'll be Toge's support.
Huh? I'm supporting him?
Well, more like an observer, really.
There's a wide variety of jujutsu,
so you can assume there are as many ways \Nto exorcise a curse as there are sorcerers.
Toge's Cursed Speech is one good example.
Try to learn all you can from him.
Cursed Speech?
As the term suggests, it's imbuing speech with cursed energy.
Well, it'll make sense once you see it.
To break curses, you must first understand curses.
My first real mission...
No, my second.
I'm so nervous!
Salmon.
Huh?!
Oh, I-I'm sorry...
Yuta, one second.
Yes?
Sorry, I won't be able to supervise this time.
But the mission is one that Toge could \Ntypically handle on his own,
so you can take it easy.
There's just one thing you need to be careful about:
Don't let Rika out.
There's no guarantee she'll go back \Nin like she luckily did last time.
Only use what power of Rika's \Nthat you can imbue in your sword.
If you let her out fully again...
If I let her out?
You and I will both be killed!
Counting on you!
Wha...
Why drop the bomb on me now?!
We've arrived.
Hapina Shopping District.
Most of the shops have closed down by now.
"There are plans to demolish the \Nentire area and build a shopping mall."
"During an inspection of the area, \Nwe confirmed a pack of low-level curses."
"We'd like to request the second-grade sorcerer, \NInumaki, to exorcise them."
Huh? Wait, where's sorcerer Inumaki?
Not here?
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, Mr. Ijichi, over there.
He went shopping?
What did you buy?
Throat medicine?
In short, it would cause all kinds of issues down the road
if the building they're spending so much \Nmoney on developed a bad history,
so they want us to exorcise it immediately.
Salmon.
Then allow me to cast the Veil.
Good luck.
He said it was a pack of low-level curses.
Pollack roe.
I smell olives.
The weaker curses are, the more they tend to group together.
Even so, there's just too many of them!
Inumaki?!
It's dangerous if you get that clo—
Explode!
Explode!
Explode!
This is Cursed Speech?
Huh, that's it? We're done already?
Tuna mayo.
His voice totally went hoarse!
Oh, that explains the throat medicine.
That's an incredible power,
but it comes with a good deal of risk too.
Bonito flakes...
What's wrong?
Oh, you're right.
The veil isn't lifting.
Huh?
Looks like we can't get out.
What is this curse?\N Its presence is nothing like the ones from before...
Inumaki!
Twist!
Twist!
Twist!
What, what, what?! What is that?!
That curse...
He said they'd be low-level!
This isn't what we were told!
There's that thing's size, too.
It's way scarier than the big guy \Nfrom the elementary school.
That's right!
Inumaki, you're hurt.
Is your finger all right?
Wow, that looks painful.
Salmon.
You shouldn't mess with it!
Sorry.
It's my fault.
It doesn't seem to be chasing after us in particular.
I'll contact Mr. Ijichi.
No signal?
How come?
Bonito flakes.
Huh?
Because of the veil?
If the veil won't lift,
then we have to exorcise it, right?
Inumaki?
Should you be moving around already?
Kelp.
You're going to go alone?
Thank you, Inumaki.
But I'm all right.
Let's both do our best together!
It's mad?! Why?!
As if it wasn't already scary enough!
Don't take your eyes off him.
Don't stop moving.
Imbue the curse into the katana.
Inumaki is incredibly kind-hearted.
He doesn't want to accidentally curse others,
so he speaks in rice ball ingredients—\Nwords that can't carry curses.
He saved me today as well.
He tried to keep me away from danger.
Even back when I was nervous,
he was trying to calm me down, wasn't he?
Too shallow!
His skin is so tough!
I'm still no match for this curse.
However...
Inumaki!
I'll make sure to respond to Inumaki's kindness!
Get crushed!
Get crushed!
Get crushed!
Get crushed!
Wow!
Mustard leaf!
Oh... I'm fine, I'm fine.
It's only a scratch.
Salmon.
Yeah, good work!
Once I break Rika's curse,
I'll be a normal person.
I won't be able to stay at Jujutsu Tech anymore,
but until then,
I want to be useful to everyone.
Oh, what do we do about the veil?
What a shame.
I came here to see this rumored Rika.
As a fellow special-grade, \NI was hoping to meet her soon.
I have to return something you dropped, too.
Toge's Cursed Speech, you see,
is something he's been able to use since he was born,
so back in the day, he struggled quite a bit.
Cursing people by accident and such.
His situation was rather similar to yours.
That's why he's been worried about you \Nsince the day you transferred in.
It's easy to misunderstand him,
but he's a good guy.
Please continue to be nice to him, okay?
Yeah, I'll—
Come on, let's start morning training!
Oh, right.
Panda! What are you giggling about?!
I'll kill you!
Huh? It's nothing, though.
Maki, hey...
I want to channel cursed energy through my sword more smoothly. Do you know any tricks?
Nope.
Don't ask me about cursed energy.
I scoured every inch of the shopping district,
and found three different types of residuals.
According to Mr. Ijichi, \Nthe chances of finding anything more are slim.
Okay, got it. Thanks.
You bet!
My apologies.
Our inspection revealed that someone lowered a second veil on top of my own.
Additionally,
a semi-first-grade curse made \Nan unexpected appearance.
It's my fault for not being more thorough.
I'll accept any punishment.
No, you're fine. You were just outclassed.
M-Meaning?
Do you know who is behind this?
Geto Suguru.
One of the four special-grade jujutsu sorcerers,
who was banished from Jujutsu Tech
for cursing over a hundred civilians to death.
The worst curse user around.
Really, I'll be fine. Let's go home now.
It's all right. Just wait a little longer.
But...
So, you said your daughter \Nwas being haunted by a ghost.
Isn't that right, Mrs. Sato?
Ah, yes... um... it's Saito, though...
No, you are Sato.
That's what I've decided, so Sato is better.
Uh-huh...
Mom, let's go home.
But you haven't been able to sleep lately, right?
This is so shady, though.
You constantly feel a piercing gaze upon you.
Sometimes your shoulders feel heavy, \Nand it gets hard to breathe, doesn't it?
Almost as if you've forgotten how to breathe.
And you often
dream of being raped.
How did you know that?
Don't move.
Huh? No way... I feel much better!
Honestly, I don't know how we could ever repay you.
Oh, no, we should all help \Neach other in times of need.
Please rely on me anytime you need to.
See, I told you he was simply godly!
Yeah.
Godly, huh?
Aren't you a smart one.
At least for a filthy monkey \Nwho can't even use sorcery.
Your true feelings are showing, Master Geto.
The leaders have all gathered in the meeting room.
What are you doing?
It's disinfectant deodorant.
Can't have that monkey stench infect others.
Man, I'm so happy.
How long has it been since we all gathered?
I know. Let's take a photo together \Nsince we're all here.
Where'd I put my SLR?
Right here.
Geto! Give me Geto!
Geto, you bastard!
Well, if it isn't Mr. Kanemori.
What brings you here in such a sweaty panic?
Quit fucking around!
Hurry up and exorcise my curse!
Do you have any idea\N how much I've paid you for this?!
How much?
Roughly one hundred and five million yen.
No donations for the past six months, however.
W-Well—
Ah... I guess that's it for you.
What are you sayi—
Monkeys all have their own roles to play.
There are money-collecting monkeys
and curse-collecting monkeys.
You're the former.
If you're out of money, I have no further use for you.
Screw you!
Disgusting.
Are we really the same species?
That's why I'm always saying
they're monkeys.
The time has come, my beloved family!
Let's lower the curtain on the age of monkeys
and build a paradise for jujutsu sorcerers.
First, we must fell the \Ncornerstone of the jujutsu world:
Jujutsu Tech.
What's up, Yuta?
Uh, well... I just had a bad premonition.
You're imagining things.
Yep, imagining things.
Bonito flakes.
Huh?
Guys, wait...
Well, your awareness of cursed energy sucks, you know.
Figures it'd be dulled, with something like Rika constantly around.
Tuna.
We still haven't picked up on any actions from Geto.
Are you sure you're not just being paranoid?
I'm sorry, Principal, but I'm sure about this one.
I confirmed it myself on the scene.
There's no way I would mistake \Nthe residuals of Suguru's cursed energy.
Suguru...
God damn!
Speak of the devil!
Gather all sorcerers on campus, \Nsemi-first-grade and above, in the circle out front!
That's unusual.
Yuta's intuition was correct.
Salmon.
You're... not staff.
I haven't seen that curse before.
Salmon roe.
Wow, big bird!
This place is still the same as ever.
Yuck! Master Geto, is this really Tokyo?
It's like, so country!
Nanako, that's rude.
What? But don't you think so, too, Mimiko?
Hurry up and get down already!
Aren't you cold?
Who are they?
Whoa, it's a panda!
How cute!
And who are all of you?
Intruders are not welcome here. \NMaster Yuta's orders. 
Kelp!
Huh?
Get lost before you get knocked out.
By Master Yuta, I mean.
Huh?!
Nice to meet you, Okkotsu.
I'm Geto Suguru.
He's fast!
Huh? Oh, nice to meet you.
You possess a truly wonderful power, I see.
I believe that
great power ought to be used towards great ends.
Have you ever questioned \Nthe current state of the world?
This world where jujutsu sorcerers act in secret
in order to protect the order of commonplace society.
You see, there's this established paradox
that mistakenly says the strong must accommodate the weak.
How deplorable!
Uh-huh...
The apex of all creation \Nhas halted its own path of evolution!
It's nonsense!
It's high time mankind reconsidered \Nits strategy for survival!
Which is why we'd like you to help us.
Help with what?
We're going to kill all non-sorcerers
and create a world with only jujutsu sorcerers.
What...
...is he saying?
Could you keep your crazy talk away from my students?
Satoru! Long time no see!
First of all, get away from those kids, Suguru.
I had heard this year's freshmen were all outstanding students.
Now I understand.
They're under your care.
A special-grade cursed human,
a cursed corpse mutation,
the descendant of the Cursed Speech users,
and...
the Zenin clan's failure.
You piece of shit!
Careful what you say now.
I don't need any monkeys like you in my world.
I'm sorry.
I don't really understand what you're talking about.
But...
I can't help anyone who insults my friends!
My apologies. It wasn't my intention to upset you.
Then what exactly did you come for?
To declare war.
To all those gathered here,
clear out your ears and listen up very closely.
On the coming December 24th, at sundown,
we will commence the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
It will take place in the Crucible of Curses,
Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward.
As well as the Holy Land of Jujutsu, Kyoto.
A thousand curses will be unleashed upon each location.
Their sole command, of course, will be to massacre.
If you wish to avoid a scene straight out of hell,
put your lives on the line and fight.
Let us curse each other
to our heart's content!
Master Geto!
The cafe's gonna close!
It's already that late?
I'm sorry, Satoru.
These girls just insist on getting crepes from Takeshita Street.
Hurry!
So I'll be taking my leave.
Man, I don't see what's so great \Nabout a place filled with monkeys.
What makes you think we'd just let you leave?
You don't want to do that.
Your precious students are within my range.
Well then, everyone, see you on the battlefield.
Survival of the weakest.
That's the ideal form society should take.
It should help the weak and keep the strong in check.
Listen, Satoru.
Sorcerers exist to protect non-sorcerers.
That's your argument?
I hate righteousness.
Are you the strongest because you're Gojo Satoru?
Or are you Gojo Satoru because you're the strongest?
What are you trying to say?
If I could become you,
then wouldn't my foolish ideals \Nbecome reasonable possibilities?
This is the path I've chosen.
All that's left is to follow it to the best of my ability.
Geto Suguru.
A special-grade curse user who uses Curse Manipulation.
He's able to draw in and manipulate \Nnaturally occurring, unbound curses.
It seems he's established a religious group \Nto collect curses from its followers.
He should still have the curses he previously possessed,
and considering the declining trend in the number of curses reported in recent years...
His claim to possess two thousand may not be a bluff.
Statistically speaking, most of them have to be weaklings at second grade or lower.
Even with a generous estimate, \Nthere can't be more than fifty curse users.
That's actually the scary part.
I find it hard to believe he'd start a war he couldn't win.
God damn!
Put out a call for aid to all alumni, the Three Great Clans, and even the Ainu Jujutsu Society.
It's all-out war!
This time, that curse, Geto, will be completely
exorcised!
That's what the meathead principal \Nis probably spouting right now.
If we seriously tried to kill each other,
our chance of success would be about thirty percent.
If the Jujutsu Society gets involved,
we'll barely have a twenty percent chance.
However,
there is one move which makes \Nthat slim chance of victory
jump straight to ninety-nine percent:
I kill Okkotsu Yuta and take the special-grade vengeful spirit, Orimoto Rika.
They still naively believe my bluff \Nfrom my time in school.
It doesn't matter if the cursed spirit is bound or not.
As long as I kill its master,
I can absorb any curse I want.
With such high odds of victory,
the school won't use Okkotsu as one of their cards.
After all, there's a chance he could \Nwipe out both enemies and allies.
The true objective of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons
is to get Okkotsu isolated and unprotected.
Now, let's raise the curtain on a new age.
It seems like...
something crazy is going down.
Maki!
What are you doing here?
Classes are canceled for the week.
Well, I just felt kinda restless.
Nobody's at the dorms, either.
That's because the second-years \Nwere dispatched to Kyoto earlier.
Toge and the third- and fourth-years \Nare in Shinjuku as backup.
And since the principal likes Panda so much,\N he's probably with Toge as well.
I see.
Ask.
Huh?
You've been wondering, right?
About why I'm called a failure.
Well, um... yes.
My family, the Zenin clan,
is one of the elite sorcerer families\Nknown as the Three Great Clans.
Do you know what's the minimum requirement to be a sorcerer?
Huh, what is it?
It's being able to see curses.
Oh, right.
Ordinary people can sometimes see them in certain situations, like if they're on the verge of death.
I can't see curses without these lame glasses, though.
The cursed tools I use are already imbued with cursed energy.
It doesn't come from me.
Though, thanks to that, I got out of the family.
The food was awful, the rooms were cramped,
and it was crawling with old men I didn't know.
The whole thing totally sucked!
Don't use my last name.
Not everyone has resistance to curses like you do!
Don't ask me about cursed energy.
Why are you still a jujutsu sorcerer, then?
Because I'm spiteful.
I'm going to make that family cry \Nwhen I return to them
as a first-grade sorcerer who can't see curses!
After that, I'll crush the Zenin clan from within!
What?
Oh, I was just thinking that's so like you.
I wish...
I could be like you.
I wish I could be so strong and unyielding.
I wish I had never given birth to you.
You're the shame of the Zenin clan!
Look at her, everyone.
Make sure you don't turn out like Maki.
If there's ever anything I can help with, let me know!
Let's crush the Zenin clan! Or something.
Moron. There's no point if I don't do it by myself.
I'm going back to my room.
Okay. Later!
Am I an idiot?
Don't start thinking this means you've been accepted!
Emerge from the darkness that is darker than black.
Purify that which is impure.
A veil was drawn over the school?
But who... and why?
Keep the collateral damage to a minimum!
There's a chance some civilians still haven't evacuated.
If you find any, get them outta here!
Are you listening, Satoru?
There's one guy who looks like trouble.
I see. That bandaged guy.
Yes. We'll take on the rest.
I've said this many times, but—
I know.
We're only stalling them, right?
Let's just take it easy \Nand have some fun until Geto finishes his job.
You're here?
That a problem?
What the hell are you doing here?
Sorry, but I don't have time to chat with monkeys.
Mr. Gojo!
I have a report!
What's the matter?
Well...
That show-off isn't at the front lines?
Is he in Kyoto?
We should've received some kind of word if he was.
It's nothing. What's up?
I know this isn't the best time, \Nbut I thought it wise to speak up sooner.
It's about the investigation into Okkotsu that you previously requested.
Panda! Toge!
What is—
No time for questions!
I'm sending you two to Jujutsu Tech right now!
Huh?!
Geto is there now.
I'm absolutely, probably, certain!
I'm absolutely, probably, certain!
I'm absolutely, probably, certain!
Which is it?!
If my intuition is correct,
in the worst case, Yuta and Maki could both die!
I'll head there as soon as I'm done with that foreigner.
Protect those two.
Sorry, but defend them with your lives!
Salmon!
Right!
No way... They figured it out?
This is why I said you should \Nat least prepare a stand-in.
A bad dummy would only make things worse.
That's what Master Geto said.
Mimiko, Nanako!
What?
We're stepping up the plan. Engage.
I thought you'd never ask!
I'm your opponent,
special-grade.
Sorry, it's just...
I'm kind of in a hurry right now.
A veil's been drawn!
Does that mean Satoru's intuition was correct?
I'll break the veil!
Then we'll take the shortest route!
Pollack roe!
Oh?
Someone made a hole in the veil.
Nothing ever goes quite as planned.
It should take them about five minutes to get here.
Should I ignore them, or take care of them?
Tough choice.
They broke through all the walls to take the shortest route?
Not bad.
Maki!
Focus!
This guy can handle close combat as well?
Oh?
Predictable.
Because it was a feint.
Drumming Beat!
Boy, that was close.
Same to you.
Plummet!
Plummet!
Plummet!
Toge! You okay?
Caviar.
Yeah, Maki comes first.
Maki, are you okay?
Maki?
Mustard leaf.
N-Not yet...
Huh?
Another quake?
What is going on?
Wonderful.
This is wonderful!
I am incredibly touched right now!
You all raced here to save Okkotsu, right?
Sorcerers sacrificing themselves for a fellow sorcerer!
Affection! Admiration!
The world I long for
is right before my eyes!
Maki?
Honestly,
I wanted you to live, too, Okkotsu.
But this is all for the future of the world of sorcery.
Panda...
Yuta...
Inumaki...
Run... away...
Come, Rika!
I will kill you.
I'll murder you!
I'll start with quantity over quality.
What's your move, Queen of Curses?
Rika.
These three are horribly wounded, especially Maki.
I won't let you die!
What are you doing, Rika?
Huh?
I owe her my life.
Handle her gently, as if she were \Nthe most delicate thing in the world!
I'm not mad.
I could never hate you.
Our enemy is that man over there.
Yeah, I loathe him.
Welcome back.
Why did you stop attacking?
Healing with cursed energy requires \Nan advanced reverse cursed technique.
It was more advantageous for me to have you focused over there.
Now, shall we start where we left off?
Rika, we're doing that.
Snake Eyes and Fangs?
Those are...
The cursed seals of the Inumaki clan!
Die.
Magnificent!
Cursed Speech is a powerful technique \Npassed down in the Inumaki clan.
And yet this young man pulled it off \Nwith less than a year of studying jujutsu!
That really is hard to use.
The scattering of cursed energy makes it hard to aim.
Inumaki is incredible.
Orimoto Rika is truly an ever-evolving mystery.
A spirit of endless cursed energy.
Yeah...
My friends are amazing.
And you... you dare...
I want her even more.
I'll beat you to a bloody pulp!
Why is Mr. Nanami in Kyoto?
I wanted him to see me shine!
Shut yer face!
Quit griping and start fighting!
There's more of 'em coming!
Man, what a pain.
That makes fifty.
I've cleared the numbers required for the incentive,
so now to work a little bit more \Nand aim for that full bonus.
How old are you two?
Fifteen!
You're still just children.
It's not too late for you to turn back.
You don't know right from wrong, do you?
Annoying!
Mimiko, doesn't he totally piss you off?
Shall we hang him, Nanako?
You people have no idea, do you?
Just how sorcerers are treated out \Nin the damn sticks that aren't even on maps.
Right or wrong?
You all can enjoy that by yourselves.
The way Master Geto puts it,
black is white, and white is black, too.
We both believe in the world he's envisioned.
Anyone who gets in his way...
...we'll hang!
Huh?!
Miguel?
What are you doing?!
Take a look and figure it out.
You're a tough one, aren't ya.
That rope...
It has an unusual curse woven into it.
It's disrupting my techniques.
I barely have half left.
How many decades do you think it took
the sorcerers in my country to weave this one rope?!
Don't care.
One second of my time will outmatch it.
That's all it's worth.
Get lost.
Not good! Mr. Gojo has snapped!
So this is the Limitless technique Geto mentioned.
It interferes on the atomic level,
controlling space-time with precise manipulation of cursed energy.
And what makes that all possible \Nis the power of those eyes.
Just over twelve more minutes until my quota.
I'll keep fighting for my life!
Wow!
Ouch!
That last round was dangerous.
I'll focus on hit-and-runs.
I'll give everything I've got \Nto endure these last ten minutes.
If I die, I'm cursing you, Geto!
Miss Ieiri, please look at this one too.
Set him down over there.
Right!
What were you all doing?
It's all right.
Miss Ieiri will fix you up.
We're counting on you!
Sheesh.
You dumped a heap of trouble on us this time, Geto.
It's the first time you've felt such violent emotions,
and cursed energy is filling your body, isn't it?
That heightening of physical prowess, \Nthat sense of omnipotence...
Your senses must be sharpened, too.
The riffraff are no longer a match for you.
I'll have to crush you myself.
Follow my lead, Rika.
Mankind stands at the top of the food chain,
yet they made up the existence of higher beings \Nand started worshiping them as gods.
Don't you find that strange?
Especially when we sorcerers already exist without belief.
In the end, those monkeys
just don't want to admit the existence of us superior beings.
You want to be a god? Grow up already!
You're missing the point,
Okkotsu.
What I long for isn't enlightenment. \NIt's a chosen people.
There are times when the strong are buried \Nand oppressed by the weak due to sheer numbers.
The audacity of such monkeys makes me so sick I could vomit.
It's all right. I'm used to it now.
Are we done debating?
He's even faster!
You shouldn't have done that.
When you imbue a curse like that too abruptly, \Nthe vessel won't last.
Didn't Satoru teach you that?
You imbue curses bit by—
Not too shabby.
I don't know, dammit!
I don't know about any sorcerers outside of this school.
So I don't know
if you're right or wrong!
But in order for me to remain with all my friends...
In order for me to believe that I'm allowed to live...
I have no choice but to kill you!
You're egotistical.
Still, self-affirmation, huh?
There's probably nothing more \Nimportant than that in life.
In which case, I'll also use my full force to kill you.
I won't compromise on quality or quantity anymore.
Did you know?
There are only four humans crowned special-grade?
Among curses, there are sixteen.
This is one of them.
Special-Grade Mythical Spirit:
Tamamo Mae.
On top of that,
I'll combine the 4,461 curses in my possession into one,
and strike you with it.
Curse Manipulation Maximum:
Maelstrom.
Mr. Nanami.
Leave it to me.
New Shadow Style: Simple Domain!
Quick Draw!
Don't let your guard down, Miwa!
Mechamaru, above!
You, too.
Everyone, stay alert.
Kamo.
Seven cursed spirits at two o'clock.
Roger that. Where did Todo go?
Oh, I think you'll see him soon enough.
Where have you been all this time, Todo—
Wh-What is that absurd amount of cursed energy?
That one's dangerous, Todo!
Don't rush in on your own!
Wait for back—
Starting at eight, the talk show's
Christmas live special will be
hosting Takada!
I can't keep wasting any more time here!
Todo!
Kamo.
Another ten or more cursed spirits \Nare approaching from six o'clock.
Everyone, prepare to intercept them!
Jeez, there's no end to them.
When is this going to be over?
Okkotsu.
I'm glad I came to kill you before you could fully wield Orimoto Rika.
I truly am.
It's a promise.
When we grow up, we'll get married.
Sure!
Then we'll be together forever and ever!
Rika.
Thank you for protecting me all this time.
Thank you for falling in love with me.
Could you lend me your strength one last time?
I have to stop him.
After that, I don't need anything else
I'll give you my future, \Nmy heart, my body, everything.
From now on, we'll truly be together forever.
I love you, Rika.
Shall we die together?
He's offering himself as a sacrifice \Nto release the limit on her cursed energy?!
So that's how you want it, womanizer?!
How rude.
This is pure love.
Then I fight for justice!
Wonderful!
Absolutely magnificent!
Truly the power to change the world!
If I had Rika, there would be no need \Nto sneak around gathering curses.
Next time.
Next time, she will be mine!
You finally made it,
Satoru.
To think you'd be the one here at my end.
Is my family safe?
Every last one of them managed to escape.
The ones in Kyoto were under your orders, too, right?
Yeah.
Unlike you, I'm a kind man.
You sent those two assuming that I'd defeat them, didn't you?
All just to trigger Okkotsu's growth.
I trusted you.
Trusted that a man as principled as you wouldn't \Nkill off young sorcerers for no reason.
Trust, huh?
I didn't know you still had something like that left for me.
Return this for me, will you?
Was the elementary school your doing, too?
You guessed it.
I can't believe you.
Do you have any last words?
No matter what anyone says,
I'll always hate those monkeys.
But, I never held any hatred for those at Jujutsu Tech.
I just couldn't wear a heartfelt smile in this world.
Suguru.
At least hit me with some curses at my end.
Yuta! Yuta!
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Hey, Yuta! Are you okay?!
Mustard leaf.
Wake up, Yuta!
Oh, he's awake.
Everyone...
Your injuries...
Maki. Inumaki.
Wait! Panda, your arm isn't healed!
Chill out. We're all in better shape than you right now.
Unlike these other two, my arm can be patched up later.
Thanks for saving us.
Salmon.
I'm sorry, Rika.
I've kept you waiting.
What's the matter, Yuta?
Well, uh...
In exchange for borrowing her power,
um, I promised to go with Rika.
What?!
Don't you know that means dying?!
What were you thinking, you idiot?!
Uh, well, I...
Huh?
Rika?
Congratulations.
You managed to break the curse.
Who are you?
Your good-looking guy, Mr. Gojo Satoru!
I thought the theory Yuta came up \Nwith sounded interesting,
so I requested an investigation into their families.
Rika's investigation was finished quite a long time ago,
but Yuta's was full of holes at best.
And then it came to light.
You're a descendant of Sugawara Michizane!
That makes us super-distant relatives!
Suga?!
Yay! Yay! Yay! Yuta, yay!
Huh? Who?
One of Japan's Three Great Vengeful Spirits!
He's a super-big-shot sorcerer.
Tuna!
You were right, Yuta.
Rika didn't place a curse on you.
You placed a curse on Rika.
Rika...
What do I do?! Is she going to die?! \NI have to save her!
Don't die! Don't die! Don't die! Don't die! Don't die!
That's right.
Back then, I rejected Rika's death.
Now the one who placed the curse has canceled the bond.
So long as the one who was cursed doesn't seek revenge,
the curse will be broken.
Though, that much was obvious \Nafter seeing her in that form.
It was all my fault, wasn't it?
I turned you into a curse.
I hurt all those people.
Everyone nearly died because Geto came after me!
It's all...
It's all my...
Yuta, thank you...
for giving me more time,
and letting me stay by your side.
These past six years,
I've been happier than I ever was while alive.
Bye-bye. Take care.
And don't come over too soon, okay?
Okay.
See you later!
It's a bit late now,
but you weren't at fault for the incident with Geto.
He would've come to Jujutsu Tech \Nwhether you were there or not.
You think so?
I believe this is yours.
Oh, my student ID.
You found it for me, Mr. Gojo?
No, not me.
My best friend.
The only one I had.
Come on, Yuta! How long are you gonna keep us waiting?
Let's go!
Yeah!
This is good!
Ain't it?
I used a spice called Royco.
Gives it a nice flavor.
Royco is the magic powder that makes everything taste Kenyan.
More importantly, they really went home, right?
Yup.
Glad to hear it.
This really is good. Reminds me of nikujaga.
Nikujaga?
Call it beef stew. Beef stew!
What's wrong?
What are you doing here?
Huh?
Mr. Gojo?
Hey. Long time no see.
