Kugisaki! Don't let that blood touch you!
You think I don't know that?!
Start running,
with your backs toward me.
Kugisaki, can you go any faster?
No way!
I got your back.
Thanks.
What speed...
While carrying someone, too.
They'll get away.
Well, no matter.
All right, we're out of range now.
Well done. You deserve some praise.
Yeah, yeah.
Just kidding. Thanks.
It took the direct route and got ahead of us?
Itado—
Kugisaki!
There's no need to worry.
My younger brother's blood doesn't have the same quality as mine.
And even mine won't kill you unless you were drowned in it.
Though it will hurt like hell.
This is where our technique starts.
Supreme Rot Technique: Decay.
What?
My blood, and my brothers' blood,
Episode 24: Accomplices
is absorbed through wounds and membranes.
If any of us brothers activates the technique,
it begins to rot you away from the point of incursion.
I'd give that young man about fifteen minutes.
Ten minutes max for you, young lady.
By morning, nothing but bones will remain.
If it's a technique,
we just need to make them release it!
So it is poisonous.
The result is essentially a poison,
but our technique is purely decomposition.
Now that I've revealed our technique,
they'll actually die even faster.
So, what will you do now?
Brother, these sorcerers aren't anything special.
In the beginning of the Meiji Era,
there was a girl, with a unique trait, who could bear a cursed spirit child.
She conceived a child with no recollection of how,
and received harsh criticism from her family.
With her baby's corpse in her arms, she ran away
and ended up at a temple run by a certain jujutsu sorcerer.
However, that was when her luck ran out.
Noritoshi Kamo.
Among all of jujutsu sorcery's cultural legacy, he's remembered as the most vile of sorcerers.
A disgrace to the three major clans.
His curiosity was captivated by
the possibility of a child born of a human and a cursed spirit.
Nine times, he impregnated her.
Nine times, he aborted her.
All records of how he did it
and what happened to the girl afterward were destroyed.
Cursed Wombs: Death Paintings, numbers one to three
were powerful enough to be classified as special grades.
Did their power originate from a mother's hatred?
Or perhaps...
I have no memories of a mother.
It's not that we hold any particular grudge against humans or sorcerers.
For 150 years,
we remained sealed away with only the faintest notion of each others' existence.
We'll side with the cursed spirits.
Are you sure about that?
They seemed shady, brother.
The future those cursed spirits painted is more convenient for us.
That's all there is to it.
We don't owe them anything for our freedom.
Now listen, brothers.
Eso, you live for Kechizu.
Kechizu, you live for me.
And I'll live for you, Eso.
The three of us are one.
I live for my brothers.
If it is what my brothers desire,
I'll give my life to grant it for them.
If it's too painful,
would you like me to end you right away?
A technique that guarantees victory once it hits...
You guys sure are strong.
Too bad for you, though.
I'm a bad match for you!
Straw Doll Technique: Resonance!
Let's play a game of chicken, shall we?
You don't like pain, do you?
Then start crying and release your technique.
A technique to turn the curse on the user?
A game of chicken...
So unless I release our technique, this will never end!
Straw Doll Technique: Resonance.
By driving cursed energy into an effigy that contains a part of the target,
I can damage the target's main body.
The range is fairly broad,
and its effect varies with the difference in strength and the value of the lost part.
As far as Straw Doll Technique is concerned,
blood isn't very valuable.
However, Resonance depends on the connection to the target.
And their blood that's inside me right now
is strongly linking us and their rot technique together!
It's a nice surprise that it worked on the younger one too.
If I'm going to die here anyway,
then I'll keep hammering Resonance to take you two down with me!
That's quite nasty,
but no matter how many times she does it, it won't end our lives.
As long as we hold out, you'll be the first ones to die!
Not to mention,
while Decay is active, the pain and poison will keep you from mov—
How are you able to move that well?
Resonance!
As the vessel of Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses and Lethal Poisons,
Itadori has a resistance to all forms of poison.
The result is essentially a poison,
but our technique is purely decomposition.
He's probably in pain from the decomposition,
but the resulting poison doesn't affect him.
And if it's just pain...
then Yuji Itadori
will not stop!
Kechizu!
Shut up!
Resonance!
That's nothing!
They switched!
The girl is going against my brother who is weaker than her!
Don't think you can keep me frozen in place forever!
You brat!
Should I release the technique?
At this rate, I won't be able to save my brother!
I can't unleash Wing King while Decay is active.
But does she even have enough strength to kill him?
Even with her interference,
there's no way that I'll be killed by this boy before she dies.
I will not release the technique!
B-Big bro...
The three of us are one.
I released it without even realizing.
Wing King!
What was that black light just now?
I know I reinforced my arm with cursed energy before taking his punch!
But the next thing I knew, my whole arm was blown away.
Oh, my dear...
Don't die on me, brother!
Big brother!
I haven't shown you this one yet, have I?
Hairpin.
Don't worry.
I'll be sending big brother your way soon.
Kechizu...
The three of us are one.
I'm sorry, big brother.
I couldn't protect him...
Why isn't this thing vanishing?
Is it still alive?
No!
It's not a cursed spirit!
It has a physical body!
Watch it!
Jeez.
S-Sawamura?!
Speed up.
Hit the brakes and you're dead.
You and your friend.
Got it?
Don't come after me, jujutsu sorcerer.
Once I heal my wounds,
I'll make sure to kill those two, especially that girl.
I'm sorry, Kechizu. I couldn't even mourn your death properly.
But I swear I'll avenge—
What is she up to?
Kugisaki!
Don't rush me!
Straw Doll Technique:
Resonance!
Once they land a Black Flash,
sorcerers temporarily enter a state athletes call "the zone."
Damn it!
It wasn't just a technique to turn the curse on the user?!
Sorry.
That hurt...
Geto, give me the stocks card.
What's the matter, Choso?
Hurry up.
Hey! Don't break the pieces!
My younger brothers are dead.
You can tell?
What's going on?
It's one thing to be defeated by a fully fleshed curse,
Jeez, do we have any more pieces?
but those two won't be killed by a curse possessing a single finger.
Hold on.
Why aren't there any extras?
And why did you break it, anyway?
We just received a report.
Eso and Kechizu were killed
Jeez.
by the first-years of Jujutsu High.
Yuji Itadori and his group.
The person you are calling is not answering.
I bet they're ignoring me!
Where did those brats go?!
Kugisaki, you all right?
Oh, yeah.
Though this might leave a scar.
I wonder if those guys are okay. Their truck just went speeding off.
As for the poison...
I wonder if Shoko will be up this late.
And will she be sober?
What are you fidgeting for? It's creepy.
Wasn't that the first time you killed something instead of exorcising?
What about you?
I did it once before...
No, I guess it isn't fair to call it once.
It was three people.
You seem to be doing way worse than me here.
To be blunt, I don't really have a problem with it.
These things happen when you're a sorcerer.
Not to quote Fushiguro,
but ultimately, there's only so many people we can save.
It's like, there are only so many seats in my life,
and I can't let myself be swayed by anyone who's not in one of them.
Is that cold?
Well, I guess there are people like you who crash their way into my life.
It might not mean much,
but we didn't have room to worry if they were cursed spirits or curse users.
Even if they were human,
it would've been impossible to restrain someone that strong.
You know that, right?
It's just, he was crying for his brother who died right in front of him.
I see.
I'm happy that you and I managed to survive.
I'm relieved.
But still, tears were shed over the lives I ended tonight.
That's all.
I see.
Then I guess that makes us accomplices.
F-Fushiguro?!
Oh, you're back.
Glad you two are safe.
I-I was so scared!
I thought you were dead!
Thank goodness!
Could you keep it down?
My head hurts.
Don't go to sleep with Sukuna's finger in your hand. That's dangerous.
How do you know about the finger?
That's what you're worried about?
Anyway,
we need to contact Nitta first.
It has to be sealed at once, or it'll start attracting curses.
Should I eat it?
This ain't leftovers.
We're not sure how many fingers you can handle.
So don't eat it.
But since you look the least worn down, take it.
I'll say this again, though. Don't eat it.
He keeps repeating himself as if I were a dog.
We told you not to eat it!
Huh? Me?!
Is this guy for real?
He didn't even help this time!
To regain his power, the Sukuna within you will direct you to all the other fingers.
Does Gojo-sensei just spout off nonsense sometimes?
You just realized?
Hey! You three!
What have you three been doing?!
Oh, it's Nitta.
You wouldn't answer my calls!
She's lost it.
What's the big idea?!
Well, shall we go home?
Communication, consulting, and reporting!
Didn't you learn how important they are?!
I'm hungry.
I wonder if there's a Splendid Sushi around here.
Are you listening to me?! Hey, you!
Splendid Sushi's bullet train was awesome, wasn't it?
Shut it.
Man, it wasn't just a finger curse. We analyzed the corpses, and guess what?
Turns out they had consumed cursed objects!
They each took out a special grade.
These first-years are the cream of the crop!
It must be thanks to my awesome teaching!
The last thing I want is to hear you rambling on my day off.
You wanted to talk about the drinking party?
Well, find any candidates?
None at all.
Everyone's busy, even me.
What now? Should I try asking the students?
I'm a lightweight, so non-alcoholic drinks are fine.
I'll leave the inviting to you, then.
Utahime Iori
We never know what might be listening around Utahime.
I don't want to assume one of the students is the traitor.
This is such a pain.

Don't tell Itadori about the fingers resonating.
Are you sure that's what's happening?
I'm pretty sure. It's over for now, though.
The only ones likely to notice are us and Nitta.
Sukuna's reincarnation in Itadori was just a trigger.
The Yasohachi Bridge deaths were gonna happen sooner or later.
Besides, the whole reason he swallowed that finger was to save me.
But there's no way he'd be satisfied with that explanation.
So don't tell him.
I won't.
Don't underestimate a lady's consideration.
It's all your fault!
You ate me.
And now the severed parts of my soul have awakened.
To help lots of people, was it?
Brat!
People are gonna die because you live!
Hey.
Don't say that to Fushiguro.
But what will you do when someone you saved kills someone else in the future?
Don't you dare tell him.
Mustard leaf.
What's wrong? Your movements aren't as sharp today.
You getting weaker?
Shut up!
I lost my edge after all that bed rest!
Anyway, did you hear about the first-years?
Yeah.
They took out three special grades, right?
Salmon.
Then...
We can't fall behind, either.
Roe.
Yeah!
Hey! You were serious that time!
It wouldn't be good training if I wasn't.
Kelp.
The special grade rank is somewhat misrepresented among sorcerers.
I believe it's the grade 1 jujutsu sorcerers
who uphold the standards and are fit to lead our society.
The danger, confidentiality, and compensation that come with it
are unlike anything below that grade.
With that in mind, can you repeat yourself?
Maki Zenin,
Panda,
Megumi Fushiguro,
Nobara Kugisaki,
and my brother, Yuji Itadori.
These are the five that I, by my name as Aoi Todo
and I, by my name as Mei Mei
recommend to be promoted for grade 1.
Aren't you buying way too much?
Half of that is yours, you know.
Only this one is mine!
Drop another one and you're dead!
R-Right...
I just said you're dead if you drop another one!
I'm sorry! It wasn't on purpose!
You just have too many!
What're you gonna do if they're damaged?!
Gojo-sensei
This is Fushiguro.
Yes.
Just go back and get another!
Yeah.
All right. See you.
What?
Gojo-sensei said to come.
Huh? Why?
It's a mission.
A top secret one.
What?
Didn't we just finish taking care of one?
Why not?
Gojo-sensei said it's top secret.
It must be big.
He says that pretty often.
He says it all the time.
Yeah, but so what?
Let's go.
