Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical High School
Couldn't they put in a few more vending machines?
They can't. We're strict about who we do business with.
Huh?
Where are the first-years?
Running errands.
Bonito flakes?
Will they be okay?
Salmon.
They're not three year olds.
They can handle an errand run.
No, that's not what I meant.
Today's the day, right?
When Kyoto's principal comes here.
To go over the goodwill event.
Tuna.
Rumor has it that the higher-ups who have some friction with Satoru
arranged for the dispatch of first-years on that special grade case.
The Kyoto principal is one of them, isn't he?
What if they run into each other?
The first-year they were targeting, Itadori, is dead.
I doubt he has any plans to harm the other two.
Besides, the old man from Kyoto won't cause a scene in broad daylight.
Salmon.
Teachers might have their reputations to worry about,
but students have no reason to hold back, you know.
Are you saying Mai is coming?
It's just a guess.
I know students have no reason to join the meeting,
but still...
Those guys love to talk trash.
Both Todo and Mai.
What are you doing here, Zenin-senpai?
Oh, she's one, too?
They have a similar vibe.
Sisters?
Twins.
Don't call me that, Fushiguro.
It puts me on the same level as Maki.
Call me Mai.
So these are the pinch hitters for Okkotsu and the third-year?
We tagged along with the principal because we were worried about you.
Your classmate died, right?
Must've been rough.
Or maybe it wasn't?
What are you trying to say?
It's okay. Some things are hard to put into words.
So I'll do it for you.
"Vessel" makes it sound nice,
but he was just a half-curse monster.
Having such a vile facade of a human beside you
brazenly calling himself a jujutsu sorcerer must have been revolting, right?
Aren't you feeling relieved now that he's dead?
Mai, stop talking nonsense.
I just want to see if they are worthy replacements for Okkotsu.
That's why I'm here.
Fushiguro, was it?
What kind of woman is your type?
Depending on your answer,
I might beat you half to death right here
and drag Okkotsu, or at least the third-years, out to the goodwill event.
By the way, my type is a tall woman with a big ass!
Episode 8: Boring
Why do I have to talk about
my taste in women with a guy I just met?
He's right.
That's a tall hurdle for an antisocial guy.
Shut up.
The situation is bad enough without you complicating it.
Kyoto, third-year, Aoi Todo.
Introduction over.
Now we're friends.
Hurry up and answer.
If you prefer men, that's fine too.
A person's taste reflects everything about them.
Guys who have boring taste in women are boring themselves.
And I hate boring men.
The goodwill event is where my soul can be free as blood boils and flesh clashes.
Who knows what I might do if my last goodwill event ends up being boring?
Hey, aren't the Jujutsu High schools four-year schools?
Only third-years and under can join the goodwill event.
Huh...
As a show of kindness, I'll let you off only half-dead right now.
Answer me, Fushiguro.
What kind of woman is your type?
Is this some kind of comedy routine?
Is that your summer uniform?
Ticks me off, but it's nice.
Kugisaki is unarmed. I'd rather avoid confrontation.
Not forgiving people isn't a bad thing.
That's just part of your kindness, isn't it?
I don't have a particular preference.
As long as they are compassionate, then I don't need anything else.
Good answer.
If you had said something like "big boobs", I'd have killed you.
Shut it.
I knew it.
You're boring, Fushiguro.
Fushiguro!
Poor Fushiguro.
Even a talented grade 2 sorcerer is nothing against the top-grade Todo.
I'll have to comfort him later.
I thought you two looked alike, but forget that.
Maki is a hundred times prettier.
You getting enough sleep?
You've got open pores.
Watch your mouth,
or I'll have to teach you a lesson.
I knew at first glance that you'd be a boring guy.
But you shouldn't judge a person by their looks, right?
So I went out of my way to ask you,
but you just trampled on my kindness.
Is your brain as pineapple as your head?
Todo...
Could he be that Todo?
The one from last year's unprecedented jujutsu terror attack caused by the curse user, Geto.
Kabukicho First Street
The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons from Kyoto to Shinjuku.
Five grade 1 and one special grade cursed spirits appeared that night,
all single-handedly defeated by Todo.
That Todo?
It's not that uncommon for grade 1 sorcerers to beat a special grade.
What's shocking is...
I hear you refuse to use your cursed technique.
Oh, that's just a rumor.
I only use it against the special grades.
He doesn't use them against grade 1 curses?!
He's a monster!
Well, that's a relief!
Nue,
plus Toad!
The Well's Unknown Abyss.
I'm up against a hardcore close-range fighter.
I'll keep my distance and restrain him.
He's fast!
That wasn't his full speed earlier?!
Flimsy and shallow.
Both your body,
and your taste in women!
Damn it!
His power is insane!
I'm not done yet!
Like I said,
you're boring!
You barely show any intent to fight.
Don't get ahead of yourself. I've been holding back.
But if you insist,
I'll show you.
Bring it!
Don't move.
What are you two doing?!
Whew, made it just in time.
Bonito flakes.
Okay, I guess that might actually be an out.
Long time no see, Panda.
Why can't you just wait until the goodwill event?
Go on home, or I'll start screaming "No!"
You don't have to tell me to go home.
Where'd I put my jacket?
This might not be as boring as I thought.
Be sure to tell Okkotsu to show up.
What a pain.
I panda. I no understand human speech.
Salmon.
If you want to continue as a jujutsu sorcerer,
then you better watch who you pick fights with.
What do you think you're doing to our errand runner, Mai?
Oh, my.
You're so worthless, I didn't even notice you, Maki.
We're both equally worthless, you know.
All you do is imbue things with cursed energy,
and you've got shit for cursed techniques.
Better than having no cursed energy at all.
My neck gets sore looking up at others all the time,
so I need someone like you to look down on.
Ah, forget it. We're both at rock bottom, and it's pathetic.
Nobara, can you stand?
No way.
She won't be getting up for a while.
I got her pretty good—
What? You wanna go at it?
Nice support, Maki!
You put a bunch of holes in my brand new tracksuit!
Leave your summer uniform behind. I'll make it my own!
I'll put holes in your body next time.
Besides, your legs are too short to pull off this look—
Leave it behind!
Time to head back, Mai.
What?!
No way.
Oh, there's my jacket.
Where's Fushiguro?
Don't worry. Panda and the others are with him.
Looks like you had some fun.
As if! I was just getting started!
Forget it.
Unlike you, I've got some important business in Tokyo.
My personal five minute handshake with Takada!
Tall Idol Takada
Uh-huh.
What if I miss the train and don't make it in time?
Who knows what I might do?
Come with me, Mai.
Ugh! You're so selfish!
Can't believe I lost the lottery for the usual one in Kyoto.
Don't go thinking you'll get off this easy at the goodwill event.
Quit acting like you won!
Leave your uniform behind, damn it!
Cut it out, idiot.
Winning or losing here hardly matters.
We'll beat them up at the goodwill event.
Hey, Maki.
Is what she said true? That you don't have cursed energy?
It's true.
I mean, I can't even see curses without these glasses.
That's why I use cursed tools.
They already have curses imbued in them.
I can't pour my own cursed energy into them to do things like you guys do.
Like that thing he gave Itadori?
Then why did you become a jujutsu sorcerer?
To piss people off.
I can't wait to see the looks on my family's faces when I become a bigshot sorcerer,
after all the years they've spent looking down on me.
Come on, let's hurry over to see Shoko.
You know, I really respect you, Maki.
That so?
JUJUTSU KAISEN
Is Yaga here yet?
Time doesn't come cheap for an old man close to death.
Principal Yaga won't be here for a while.
Oh?
He was given a false schedule.
After some threats to Ijichi.
Thank you for the other day, Principal Gakuganji.
Oh? What day would that be?
Don't play coy with me, old man.
I'm talking about Yuji Itadori's case.
A conservative leader like you must've been involved, I imagine.
My goodness, youth these days...
Don't you know how to speak with respect?
I never intended to.
It pisses me off how high-and-mighty old folks are these days, honestly.
Hey.
Your conduct is problematic.
I'll be reporting you to the relevant authorities.
Oh, man!
It's Satoru Gojo! Satoru Gojo in person!
Feel free.
I don't plan to chat for long.
He talked! He talked to me!
Last night, I was attacked by two unregistered special grade cursed spirits.
Oh? That is unfortunate.
Don't get the wrong idea here.
To me, it was like getting flyer handouts on the street.
So cool!
The two cursed spirits were capable of communication,
and they probably have allies who are just as strong.
It's not just our enemies either.
Hakari, Okkotsu, and Todo from your school.
The students these days have gotten much stronger too.
Then there was last year's incident with Suguru Geto...
And now, the appearance of Sukuna's vessel.
What are you trying to say?
Don't you get it?
The wave of power you guys have been ignoring to
maintain your status in the name of stupid traditions
has grown huge and is fast approaching.
The next generation won't just be limited to classifications like special grade.
If you think I'm the only one who'll be fighting back,
you're going to get hurt, old man.
I think you are getting a bit out of line.
Oh, scary!
Well, I've said my piece, so I'm outta here.
Oh, Principal Yaga should be here in about two hours.
Later!
Two hours?!
Miwa, would you buy me some tea?
Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
If I hurry, maybe I can get a selfie with him!
Takada's Personal Handshake Event
Give me a Taka-tan Beam, please!
Sure, here I go!
Tan, Taka-tan!
Time's up.
One Month Later
Record of September 2018 Kanagawa Prefecture, Kawasaki City Kinema Cinema
After the showing, three high school boys' disfigured corpses were found by the staff.
Cause of death: Increased cranial pressure and respiratory paralysis due to cranial deformity.
Excuse me.
Did you do that?
In the theater?
Wow. You can see me?
It's a gruesome sight.
Are you sure you're ready for it, Itadori-kun?
Thank you so much!
You're welcome.
I got a selfie!
My tea?
Ah!
Juju Stroll
Juju Stroll.
Handshake Event
Event Hall
Hey, that hottie is looking at us like we're garbage!
Don't get turned on.
Mai, sorry to keep you waiting.
What's wrong?
Did something bad happen?
Why don't you ask yourself that?
The moment is finally here.
Huh?
What's this?
For the next handshake event.
You should go experience how wonderful Takada is in person.
It's just plain annoying.
This is my duty as a fan, and as her future husband.
That's just plain creepy.
But if I refuse, I'm sure he'll get even more annoying.
What's the matter?
Yeah, sure.
Huh?!
Wow, a girl!
It's your first time, right?
Yeah.
What's your name?
Mai.
Mai, are you tired?
Did you wait long?
It was more the people than the line...
Then come back again when you're feeling better.
I'll remember you, Mai dear.
You're back, Mai?
How was it?
Not bad.
True, Takada is not the type of girl who can so easily be put into words.
Not bad at all!
