Was that it, grade 1 sorcerer?
You did well running around, but you're at your limit, aren't you?
Unfortunately...
What?
His cursed energy's increasing?
I'm now working overtime.
Overtime?
A time-based vow!
He was limiting his cursed energy this whole time?!
Interesting!
My technique divides the target along a line,
and forcibly creates a weak spot at the seven to three ratio point.
The lines don't have to measure up to their full height or wingspan.
Head, torso, biceps, or forearm. I can decide what part to divide.
This technique is applicable to non-living things as well.
He's revealing his technique?
You're not playing around.
In order to exorcise this spirit, I have two options.
Playing tag again?
First is to keep damaging him until he runs out of cursed energy.
However, that's not very realistic for me.
The second way is to obliterate him with a single blow.
Ratio Technique: Collapse!
What power!
And what's that streak of cursed energy?
No way!
An expanded technique that applies cursed energy to the destroyed target!
It's a wide-range attack that puts him at risk too.
So I guess...
I should dodge this one.
I shall take my leave.
You should get that leg healed quickly.
If we both manage to survive, let's meet again.
Episode 11: Narrow-Minded
Huh?
Did the ground just shake?
Yeah, it did.
Intensity 2 or so?
Nope, Mr. Ijichi is not answering.
Should I really be the one to ask this?
Can I just be straight with him?
How much can I tell him about Jujutsu High, anyway?
The number you have dialed cannot be reached at this time.
Kiyotaka Ijichi
Pick up!
Wait!
I wonder what's going on.
A button with a spiral?
Yup.
If you run into students wearing a spiral button, you should be friendly towards them.
Because they're jujutsu sorcerers.
I'm sure you'll hit it off.
But jujutsu sorcerers are Mahito's enemies, right?
Forget it! I'm gonna ask him!
Listen, some people died at the theater you went to the other day.
Did you happen to see anything?
Something creepy like this, maybe?
No, I didn't.
I've only recently started seeing those clearly.
I see.
Well, I've got nothing else to ask, then!
Huh? That's it?
But could you still wait until my boss, sort of, shows up?
Yeah, sure.
Thanks!
Hey.
What were you watching at that theater?
It was a repeat screening of an old movie.
You wouldn't know it.
Come on, just tell me.
. Human Earthworm 3
Human Earthworm 3.
. Human Earthworm 3
That one was super boring!
. Human Earthworm 3
I got hit so many times over that.
. Human Earthworm 3
You got hit?
Honestly, it was.
But it is just a splatter film, after all.
Maybe we never should've expected anything from it.
But part two—
But part two was pretty good, right?
Yeah! Exactly!
It had some redeemable qualities!
Huh? What kinda qualities?
Bingo.
Have you seen the entire series?
At first, it doesn't look very different from part one or three.
But it beautifully portrays the way
a perfectionist is willing to abandon everything.
Mama.
Ah, so that's why I was able to watch it.
Why?
At first, I couldn't understand why I liked it,
so I made myself watch it three times.
It had the most intense gore too, so it wasn't easy.
Why'd you go that far?
Do you like movies, Itadori?
I've been watching a lot of them lately, for certain reasons.
But I haven't been watching them in theaters.
Oh, yeah?
Great movies are really worth watching at the theater.
Though on-demand is pretty convenient.
I can't remember the last time I went.
You gotta take me sometime.
Huh?
Oh, need my contact info?
Here.
How do I add friends again?
Oh, Junpei?
Mom.
It's unnusual to see you out here.
Is he a friend of yours?
We just met, actually.
We just met, but I think we'll get along!
Really? I hope you do!
Mom!
I asked you...
to quit smoking.
Oh right, sorry.
I did promise not to smoke in front of you.
What's your friend's name?
Yuji Itadori.
By the way, the spring onions don't suit you!
Oh, you can tell?
I'm aiming to be a lady who doesn't go with spring onions.
What are you even talking about?
Care to join us for dinner, Yuji?
H-Hey! Don't be a pain.
What? My food's a pain?
Anything you don't like? Any allergies?
Nope!
Just like I thought, that sorcerer is nuts!
You guys went all out.
Geto!
He was an interesting guy.
I learned a lot from him.
Oh?
Even if I'm crushed to bits,
I won't die as long as I maintain the shape of my soul.
My cursed energy is also controlled by my will.
And it seems like I can freely manipulate
the shape of my soul without any risks involved.
Next time, I'll let loose and try a bunch of stuff.
Geto, lend me some clothes.
Not happening.
Where's the sorcerer?
I don't know.
He said he was taking his leave, but he might be buried under the rubble.
What? You're at Junpei Yoshino's house?!
That's a bit of a...
Oh, it's fine.
Well, I'm about to have dinner.
Dinner?!
I'll head there at once.
If you sense anything odd, please run immediately.
Even if Junpei Yoshino was the perpetrator in this incident,
I doubt he would be able to do anything to Itadori.
But still, this is a huge blunder on my part as his supervisor.
It'd be one thing if it was Mr. Irresponsible, Gojo.
But if Mr. Mature, Nanami, chews me out...
I might start crying!
Gotta hurry, now!
You don't want to cry in front of others at your age, do you?!
Kento Nanami
He's calling me already!
Yeah, I'm done for!
Hello, I'm sorry.
I just sent you my location.
Please come and pick me up.
I need to get back to Jujutsu High and receive treatment from Ieiri-san.
Treatment?
Don't worry. It's not life-threatening.
That's good.
I'll go pick up Itadori and head your way.
You're not with him?
I'm such an idiot!
You see, I've been practicing a lot.
You'll make the best test subject.
Luck's really on my side.
That cursed spirit is a child.
It doesn't seem like much time has passed since he sprang into being.
He's greedily enjoying his own growth.
The special grade spirit that Gojo-san fought had mastered Domain Expansion.
If he managed to survive, it's only a matter of time before he reaches that stage, too.
We can expect an unfathomable body count.
Help... me!
We need to exorcise him as soon as possible,
before it's too late.
And then?
So then Takashi says, full of confidence...
This is an alien's embryo!
It might be poisonous! Nobody touch it!
So then I tried picking it up.
Turned out it was just a yam noodle from lunch!
Wait, yam? It was a yam noodle?!
Mom, you're drunk.
You're funny, Yuji.
Here, do something funny with this!
She's the worst kind of drunk.
Wilson! Wilson!
Forgive me, Wilson!
That's from Cast Away, isn't it?
You got it!
I don't get it. Is that a movie reference?
Fire!
Your mom's really nice.
Yeah.
School?
It's alright. You don't have to go.
Huh?
Kids your age tend to take everything too seriously.
School is just one tiny aquarium.
There's a whole ocean out there, and countless other aquariums too.
The choice is up to you.
Hey, that was a really cool thing to say, wasn't it?
What a brilliant quote. Way to go, me!
What's your mom like?
Well, I've never really met her.
Though I do have a few faint memories of my dad.
But my grandpa was always there for me.
Oh, sorry. Got a call.
Hello, Mr. Ijichi?
Yeah, I'm fine.
But we're about to watch a movie.
Okay.
Two hours from now, then.
Two ho—
You're a jujutsu sorcerer, right?
Yeah.
Was it okay to tell him that?
Have you ever killed someone?
No.
But eventually you'll run into bad sorcerers too, right?
What will you do then?
I still wouldn't want to kill them.
Why not? They're bad people.
It's like, I just think if I killed anyone,
the option of killing would find its way into me.
The value of life would become vague if I start questioning it.
I might even forget the importance of those I care about.
And that scares me.
People don't have hearts.
That idea saved me.
It gave me strength.
But if killing someone would mean tainting my soul...
then I just can't do it.
Darn, I fell asleep.
Did Yuji go home already?
Gah! It's already this late?
I need to clean up.
What's this?
A finger?
JUJUTSU KAISEN
After the Satozakura High School Incident
we discovered the corpse of Nagi Yoshino, Junpei Yoshino's mother, at their home,
along with an exposed Sukuna's Finger, his second left arm's pinky finger.
We believe she was attacked by cursed spirits drawn to the finger.
Her body was severed from the waist down.
No visible traces of blood were found at the scene.
Her body was found in her bedroom.
Lifting up the blanket revealed only cold packs and ice bags spread out beneath it.
Are you saying I'd get in the way, Nanamin?
You're injured, aren't you?
Next time, take me with you.
"My partner died."
"But I wasn't there at the time."
"Why? Because I'm a child."
You're a strong kid, so help people.
I don't want any of that.
You can't.
As you already know, this patchwork cursed spirit uses transfigured humans.
Some people really are beyond saving.
If you continue this line of work,
there will a come a time when you're forced to kill someone.
But it doesn't have to be now.
I still wouldn't want to kill them.
And that scares me.
Please understand this.
Being a child is not a bad thing.
I would like to ask you to continue monitoring Junpei Yoshino.
I didn't have any black clothes,
so I opened my mom's closet and grabbed the first thing I saw.
The smell of the morning air and the commute to school were all familiar,
but today...
This is...
a cursed object known as "Sukuna" that attracts other curses.
What is a thing like that doing in my home?!
There are many curse users who earn money by cursing people.
It was probably done by one of them.
With money and connections, it's easy to curse someone to death.
Can you think of anyone?
Someone who might hold a grudge against you or your mother?
Or perhaps...
someone dark and gloomy,
with plenty of money and free time?
The certificate of commendation
and the prize for the finest work in the national book report competition goes to
Shota Ito.
One, Two...
Shota!
Gosh, they're embarrassing me.
We are extremely pleased
to have one of our students win such an honorable award.
What the hell were you thinking?
I told you to just write whatever,
but you made me win top damn prize.
It's all thanks to constant, daily efforts finally bearing fruit.
You want to die?
I-I'm sorry.
I hope all of you will take this opportunity
Yet you only landed a participation prize.
to cultivate a habit of reading in your daily lives.
Shota is so cool.
Next we have the award of excellence for Tooru Matsutani.
Right?
Really? Well, I'll give him props for being rich.
What's that black thing?
Huh? Where?
Emerge from darkness, blacker than darkness.
Purify that which is impure.
Hey, I did it.
Thanks, Mahito.
I can't afford to leave my residuals behind.
What are the curtain's effects?
Can't get in.
Can get out.
But this only applies to humans with weak cursed energy.
It's an unannounced curtain in a residential area.
The windows will report it right away.
I hope this plays out as you believe it will.
I think it'll go fine.
The plan was set in motion the moment Junpei met Sukuna's vessel.
We'll make them fight, and force Yuji Itadori
to make a binding vow in Sukuna's favor.
I sure wish Jogo was as level-headed as you.
But it's cute how honest and straightforward he is.
Anyway, you okay with this?
That finger was a precious resource, right?
It's fine.
The finger from the detention center was consumed immediately by Yuji Itadori, after all.
I'd like to have Jujutsu High retrieve the one we placed at Junpei Yoshino's home as well.
Another ploy?
Yeah, kinda.
Well, I'll be taking my leave.
Huh? You're leaving?
You should stay and watch too.
I'm sure it'll be fun...
watching foolish kids die.
H-Hey! What's wrong with you guys?!
Get a grip! Are you okay?!
They're not dead.
Yoshino?
Why...
Wait, do you know what's going on here?
Sensei.
Make sure you're watching...
You... Those scars...
That's—
...everything that's happened,
and what's about to happen next.
Yoshino...
I've got a question for you.
Are you the one who left that thing in my home?
What are you—
Wh-What is this?
What did you do?!
Excuse me?
Do you think you're in a position to answer a question with another question?
You're gonna die, no matter what you say!
I have no way to tell if you're lying,
but you've done more than enough to earn it!
At least show some dignity in your final moments.
I'm... sorry...
And?
So what?
What are you doing, Junpei?!
Stay out of this, jujutsu sorcerer.
Juju Stroll
The layout was great,
but a three-burner range portends death.
Set it ablaze, Mt. Hiei!
Mushrooms for aroma and flavor!
The tones of autumn disappear,
together with tears of the beloved!
Next time on Jujutsu Kaisen, episode 12.
"Bloody Autumn Leaf Viewing."
The hunt is on for your heart.
