After fending off the onslaught of Geto and his friends, the students of the Jujutsu Technical College take a break by playing baseball. But then a new threat approaches them. Three stabbings by cursed spirits occur at the entrance to their apartment building, on different dates and in different locations. The common thread between the three dead is that they attended the same junior high school for two years. From this, Itadori and his friends believe that the three were cursed in junior high school, and that the curse was activated at the same time over time. In order to investigate the cause of the incident, Itadori and his friends visit a mutual acquaintance of the three, but a wake is being held there, and the acquaintance has died in the same manner as the three. Having lost their only clue, Itadori and his friends decide to visit the junior high school where the three were enrolled to gather information.
Nostalgic Junior High School
When Itadori and his friends visit the junior high school, they try to gather information from a delinquent smoking a cigarette at the shoe locker. When the delinquent sees Itadori and his friends, he greets them with a lively and polite greeting that is unusual for a delinquent, saying, "Oh, thank you for your hard work!!" Itadori and Nobara are pleased that it was them who were being addressed, but the greeting was directed at Fushiguro. Fushiguro is a graduate of this middle school, and the delinquents and gangsters in the area were afraid of him because they had been beaten up by him... Naturally, the teacher remembers Fushiguro, and thanks to the delinquents and the teacher, they get information about the Yasohachi Bridge, a famous haunted spot. By the way, the exchange between Fushiguro and the yankee spans two pages, but the exact same pictures and frame layouts are used, with only the lines changed (lol)
Fushiguro Awakens
After learning that his sister may also be cursed, Fushiguro heads to the Yasohachi Bridges alone to exorcise the curse before it is activated. Thinking that something is wrong with Fushiguro, Itadori and Nobara follow him to the Yasohachi Bridges. Fushiguro never talks about himself, but after hearing Itadori's words, "At least rely on me, we're friends," he tells him his true feelings. The three decide to work together to exorcise the cursed spirits of the Eight Bridges, but a new cursed spirit appears. Fushiguro fights the cursed spirit of the Eight Bridges, while Itadori and Nobara fight a different cursed spirit. The cursed spirit of the Eight Bridges looks the same as the one that appeared at the juvenile detention center, but its fighting power is greater. A battered Fushiguro tries to use his trump card in exchange for his life, but the words of Gojo and Sukuna come to his mind, and he challenges himself to go beyond his limits.
Volume 8 Kaitama
The cursed spirits that appeared for a reason other than the 88 Bridges were trying to retrieve Sukuna's finger. Itadori and Nobara struggled but worked together to repel them, but they were not cursed spirits but humans. Itadori was concerned about Nobara, saying, "Killing instead of exorcising...isn't this the first time?" But Nobara was concerned about Itadori. In this way, the two grew as sorcerers. After that, the two met up with Fushiguro and discussed what to do with Sukuna's finger that Fushiguro had retrieved. Fushiguro says that since Itadori's capacity is unknown, it would be better to stop eating, but Sukuna eats it anyway. There is nothing abnormal with Itadori's body, and thus the recovery of the cursed spirits of the Eight Bridges and Sukuna's finger is completed safely.
Friends who care for each other
Fushiguro realizes something about the incident with the Eight Bridges. The curse on the Eight Bridges could have started at any time, but it was activated at this timing. This means that when Itadori ate Sukuna's finger and Sukuna became incarnate, Sukuna's other finger awakened. Other cursed spirits began to flock to the awakened finger. When Fushiguro realized this, he told Nobara, but she told him not to tell Itadori. However, Itadori had also heard about this from Sukuna himself. Thinking of Fushiguro, Itadori tells Sukuna not to tell Fushiguro. Itadori is considerate and understands each other's personalities. Before they knew it, the two had gone from being comrades to being best friends.
The shadow of an enemy in the Jujutsu Technical College
Gojo, suspecting that there is an informant in the Jujutsu Technical College, asks the Diva of the Kyoto School to investigate. Since the people around Diva don't know who is listening, she talks about it as a matter of the organizer of the drinking party. Unable to get any clues, Diva decides to reach out to the students. Gojo hopes that there is no informant among the students. Gojo also asks Meimei, a first-class sorcerer, for help. Meimei acts alone and is not someone who acts for others, but Gojo is not one to let that slip through his fingers. He transferred 10 million yen to Meimei to buy her off.
The Recommendation That Surprised Even the Dean
To become a first-class sorcerer, you must be recommended by two or more first-class sorcerers, accompany an active first-class or first-class equivalent sorcerer, be judged competent, be promoted to semi-first-class, and then carry out a first-class mission on your own, and be promoted to first-class depending on the results. The Headmaster believes that Special Grade is a completely different rank among sorcerers, and that it is Grade 1 that leads the world of Jujutsu. Toudou and Meimei have recommended five heretical individuals. From the Headmaster's point of view, the recommendation of Itadori, who is harboring Sukuna, was perhaps the most unforgivable of all. Toudou had been looking forward to accompanying Itadori, but... it seems that the sorcerer who will be accompanying him is not the one who recommended him. Hearing this, Toudou is silent... Poor Todo (lol)
Back in time...
The story goes back to when Gojo was a second-year student at Jujutsu Technical College. At this time, Geto Suguru was the real deal, and although he argues with Gojo, they are good rivals. The two of them receive a direct request from Tengen. There are two requests: to protect and erase a girl who is compatible with Tengen's "Star Plasma Body." Tengen uses an immortal technique, so he will not die, but he will weaken due to aging. It seems that if a person ages beyond a certain level, the technique will reshape their body and they will become a being of a higher dimension than humans. If this happens, they will lose their will and, in the worst case scenario, Tengen-sama could become the enemy of humanity. To prevent this, once every 500 years, a human who is compatible with Tengen-sama is assimilated and their body's information is rewritten. This request arose because the location of a girl who is compatible and will play an important role has been leaked and her life is in danger. Gojo and Geto are guarding the compatible girl, Amano Riko. The Banseikyo "Time Vessel Association" and Zen'in, now known as Fushiguro, are after her. A battle between the two begins.
Volume 9 Tamaori
Fushiguro, the sorcerer killer, is after Riko Amano. Gojo takes on Fushiguro alone and sends Geto to Tengen. Geto and Tengen say goodbye to Kuroi and head to the main hall of the Yotsuba Palace. A special barrier is set up inside the main hall, and only those invited from the inside can enter. Assimilating with Tengen means disappearing from existence. The cancellation of the request meant assimilating. Gojo and Geto, who understood this, decided to protect Tennai when he refused to be assimilated. Hearing this, Tennai confesses his true feelings and tries to leave with him, but at that moment, he is shot and killed by someone. Fushiguro, who had defeated Gojo, was chasing him.
Gojo Satoru survives the inversion technique
Gojo, who was thought to have been killed by Fushiguro, survived thanks to the inversion technique. Gojo, who touched the core of the cursed energy on the verge of death due to the inversion technique, was completely high. Not for Tenkai or anyone else, Gojo is simply intoxicated with power, unleashing the Hollow Spell "Ake", which collides forward and inverse spin to push out virtual mass and defeats Fushiguro. Having mastered the inversion technique, Gojo becomes the strongest and begins to carry out more missions alone. This also means that Geto is often alone. Cursed Spirit Manipulation is a technique that makes cursed spirits surrender and allows them to be taken in and out by absorbing them into the body, and the taste of cursed spirits is like swallowing a rag that has been used to clean up vomit. Using Cursed Spirit Manipulation, Geto continues to absorb such cursed spirits. Why does he have to go through such pain? With more time alone, Geto finds himself thinking more and more.
The moment when it all came together
Geto was tasked with eliminating the cursed spirits that were the cause of the mysterious abductions and deaths that occurred in a certain village. Despite having eliminated the cursed spirits that were the cause, Geto saw the villagers imprisoning a possessed child and verbally abusing him, so he killed 112 villagers and fled. His heart was wavering, and upon seeing the villagers' actions, he realized that he was actually looking down on non-sorcerers.
Volume 10: The Night Festival
Mechamaru, who was an informant, aimed to heal his body with Mahito's "Muitehen" in exchange for providing information. Geto and the others received the information, and Mechamaru had his body healed. With both sides fulfilling the conditions and no longer sharing the same interests, the two sides will fight. Mechamaru, who has been accumulating cursed energy for many years and has been devising countermeasures, puts up a good fight against Mahito. It seemed that Mahito had been defeated with the Shin Kage-ryu "Simple Area", but Mahito had bounced back at the exact moment the technique was activated, so there was almost no damage, and Mechamaru was killed in return.
Gojo Satoru lured in
After hearing from Geto that Gojo is at his best when he's alone, Jogo deploys a curtain to trap ordinary people and lures Gojo into the subway. Jogo and the others are told by Geto to hold Gojo back, but they're overconfident that Gojo won't be able to use his powers because there are ordinary people around. However, Gojo makes good use of the empty space between people and uses his magic. Realizing that he cannot save everyone, he instead vows to exorcise them and challenges Jogo and the others with all his might.
Volume 11 Shibuya Incident - Opening the Gate -
Mahito joins the battle between Gojo and Jogo, and Gojo is cornered. Gojo thinks that some sacrifices are unavoidable, but those sacrifices are those of being killed by cursed spirits, not those of being killed by Gojo. Because of this, the Shinjin assumed that they would not be able to use "Muryoukujo", but Gojo took a gamble and used "Muryoukujo" in 0.2 seconds. In those 0.2 seconds, the non-sorcerers, including the cyborgs, were fed with about six months' worth of information, and all of them lost consciousness while still standing. After that, about 1,000 cyborgs were massacred in 299 seconds. Overwhelming fighting power... However, Geto, who had bought himself enough time, opened the Gokumonkyo. The condition for sealing in the Gokumonkyo was that the target must be kept within a radius of about 4 meters for one minute after the gate was opened. It was an extremely difficult task to keep Gojo in for one minute, but that one minute was one minute in the target's mind. Geto suddenly appeared in front of Gojo. Geto, his former best friend, whom he had killed with his own hands, was now in front of him. All the memories of the three years they spent together came back to him at once, and in his mind's time, one minute passed in the blink of an eye. With this, Gojo was sealed in the Gokumonkyo.
Operation to Recapture Gojo
Before his death, Mechamaru had hidden a puppet and was heading to Itadori and his friends to tell them that Gojo had been sealed away. Hearing this, Itadori and Meimei set out to tell everyone the truth. Itadori shouts the truth to Nanami from the rooftop. Hearing this, Nanami changes her plans. The sealing of Gojo means the end of the country and humanity. The sorcerers muster all their strength, and the operation to recapture Gojo begins.
Here's the synopsis of the latest volume! If there is a second season of the anime, it should be around here! (Spoiler Alert!!) Summary
What did you think?
The pasts of Gojo, Geto, and Fushiguro's father were revealed, and it became clear why Geto is on the side of the cursed spirits. I would love to see scenes like Gojo's invincible subway battle in the anime. There are many things about "Jujutsu Kaisen" that are of interest, but first let's focus on the first season of the anime! !
