English Translation:

Megumi Fushiguro speaks first.

His voice is calm, but the weight behind his words is heavy.

“Noritoshi Kamo has started a plan… a massive ritual called the Culling Game.”

Yuji listens carefully.

Megumi continues.

“The goal is simple. Force countless people into a deadly competition between sorcerers.”

Then he says the part that truly matters.

“Tsumiki… is already trapped inside it.”

For a moment, everything goes silent.

Megumi looks directly at Yuji.

“That’s why I need your help.”

“I need your strength, Itadori.”

Yuji remembers something suddenly.

His grandfather’s voice.

“You’re strong, kid… so help people.”

Those words echo inside his mind.

Yuji takes a breath.

“Kotsu-senpai… Sukuna might be planning something involving Fushiguro.”

Everyone turns toward him.

Yuji explains slowly.

“Inside Shibuya, Sukuna only took control because I was forced to swallow ten fingers at once.”

His voice remains steady.

“Right now I’ve consumed fifteen.”

He thinks carefully about the remaining ones.

“Even if I eat the last five all at once… I won’t let him take control again.”

Then Yuji adds something even heavier.

“If Sukuna ever does come out again… don’t hesitate.”

“Kill me.”

The room grows quiet.

Megumi answers without hesitation.

“I understand.”

“If that moment comes… I will do what must be done.”

Yuji nods.

“Alright.”

Then he looks at Megumi again.

“So what’s the plan?”

Megumi answers immediately.

“First, we return to Jujutsu High.”

“We need to contact Master Tengen.”

They need answers.

Specifically, one crucial question.

“How do we break Gojo-sensei’s seal?”

But that is not all.

They also need to understand the full scale of Noritoshi Kamo’s plan.

Megumi says it clearly.

“The Culling Game is the largest act of terrorism in jujutsu history.”

And if anyone knows how to stop it…

It is probably Tengen.

Yuji suddenly remembers something.

“There might be someone who knows how to reach Tengen.”

He pauses.

“I already spoke with her.”

“It was her idea.”

Megumi looks surprised.

“Her?”

Yuji nods.

“She’s hiding inside Jujutsu High.”

“She doesn’t want to meet the higher-ups.”

Yuta adds another complication.

“The biggest problem is Tengen’s barrier.”

Inside Jujutsu High there are thousands of doors.

But only one leads to Tengen.

“If we choose the wrong door,” Yuta explains, “we won’t reach him.”

Yuji lowers his head slightly.

“Fushiguro… I need to ask something.”

His voice becomes quieter.

“What happened to Kugisaki?”

Megumi says nothing.

He simply stays silent.

That silence tells Yuji everything.

Yuji exhales slowly.

“I understand.”

Suddenly—

Someone appears behind them.

Choso.

He has been listening.

“I might know a way through the barrier.”

Yuta looks at him.

“So you were listening.”

Choso remains calm.

“Mai once stole Sukuna’s finger and the Death Painting Wombs.”

“We can do the same thing.”

The group decides to move.

Soon they arrive at Jujutsu High.

Two familiar figures are already waiting.

Maki Zenin.

And Yuki Tsukumo.

The damage to Maki’s body is immediately visible.

Half of her face is badly burned.

Those injuries came from Jogo.

Maki looks at Yuji.

“It’s been a while.”

Yuji shakes his head.

“Not that long.”

He bows slightly.

“Maki-senpai.”

Yuta also greets her.

“Maki… you’re walking again?”

Maki nods.

“There’s no problem.”

Yuki steps forward and studies her injuries.

“The scars won’t disappear.”

“Even Reverse Cursed Technique can’t erase them.”

But Maki’s body is unusual.

Her extreme resistance helped her survive.

Still… not everyone was as lucky.

The head of the Zenin family did not survive the incident.

Maki stays silent.

Then she asks the real question.

“What about Tengen’s barrier?”

Megumi begins to answer.

But Choso interrupts.

“I’ll explain.”

He describes the path.

Between the door and Tengen’s tomb… there is a warehouse.

Inside that warehouse are the remaining Death Painting Wombs.

Fragments of his younger brothers.

Choso closes his eyes for a moment.

“They are incomplete… but I can still sense them.”

All six of them.

Yuki nods.

“That should work.”

Maki crosses her arms.

“Fine.”

“But who exactly is this man?”

Yuji answers simply.

“For now… think of him as my older brother.”

Choso looks genuinely surprised.

But there is no time to question it.

The group begins moving.

Choso leads them to a specific door.

He stops in front of it.

“There’s no doubt.”

“My brothers are on the other side.”

They open the door.

Inside is a strange space filled with dried tree-like structures.

The atmosphere feels ancient and quiet.

They continue moving forward.

An elevator appears.

This elevator will take them down to Tengen’s chamber.

But along the way they pass the warehouse.

Choso pauses briefly.

Yuji looks at him.

“Choso…”

Choso nods slowly.

“I know.”

“I will come back for them.”

“For now… wait for me.”

They step inside the elevator.

As it descends, Yuji notices something on the floor.

Dark stains.

Blood.

Yuji frowns.

“What happened here?”

Yuki answers quietly.

“It was eleven years ago.”

She thinks carefully.

“And now that I look back… that might have been where everything started to fall apart.”

This place witnessed a legendary battle.

“Toji Fushiguro fought Suguru Geto here.”

That clash left marks that never fully disappeared.

The elevator stops.

Yuki looks ahead.

“Beyond this point… is the main shrine.”

They walk forward.

Then suddenly—

Everyone stops.

“Wait…”

In front of them is a completely white room.

Empty.

Nothing inside.

Yuji looks around.

“There’s nothing here.”

Megumi studies the space.

“This is the main shrine.”

Yuki slowly shakes her head.

“No.”

“It’s rejecting us.”

She had expected something different.

Gojo’s sealing should have changed things.

But reality is different.

“I thought we might reach him now that the Six Eyes is sealed.”

Her voice becomes quieter.

“I was too optimistic.”

Then she wonders something disturbing.

Is the barrier rejecting everyone?

Or…

Is it rejecting only her?

Megumi clenches his fists slightly.

Yuta finally speaks.

“We should leave.”

“Tsumiki doesn’t have much time.”

But just as they prepare to turn back—

A voice echoes behind them.

“You’re leaving already?”

Everyone freezes.

The voice continues calmly.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Child of the Zenin.”

“Descendant of Michizane.”

“Death Painting Womb.”

“And the vessel of Sukuna.”

A strange creature slowly appears behind them.

Its form is unnatural… almost beyond human understanding.

And at that moment—

The true meeting begins.
