After the turbulent unrest in Shibuya, a fleeting calm settles over the city—a silent tribute to Toge Inumaki's evacuation efforts. Amid this quiet, Megumi Fushiguro encounters Toji, setting the stage for a decisive battle. The sudden emergence of Sukuna's aura heightens the already palpable tension.

In strategic foresight, Megumi summons a multitude of rabbits to divert attention and create distance between himself and Toji. Despite this tactic, Toji's relentless pursuit maintains dangerous pressure on Megumi, who barely evades lethal strikes.

The duel culminates in a profound moment where Toji recognizes the significance of his legacy and connection to Megumi, choosing to take his own life. This act of self-sacrifice grants Megumi an unexpected reprieve.

Meanwhile, the sorcerer factions face their own internal turmoil. The Kusakabe squad, led by a hesitant Kusakabe, traverses the desolate Shibuya, but their resolve wavers in the face of daunting adversaries. Panda's call to action clashes with Kusakabe's cautious approach.

An unexpected encounter with Suguru Geto's former allies, Manami Suda and Toshihisa Negi, thrusts Kusakabe into an unanticipated leadership role. However, the discourse on loyalty and legacy is abruptly interrupted by the explosive power struggle between Sukuna and Jogo, the cursed spirit. The brutality of the conflict underscores the high stakes, as Sukuna's combat prowess leaves no room for hesitation or mercy.

Shibuya is dominated by Jogo's overwhelming cursed presence under Sukuna's influence. The confrontation escalates dramatically as Sukuna effortlessly counters Jogo's aggressive tactics, hurling him through a skyscraper with unchecked force.

When Sukuna emerges unscathed from Jogo's Maximum: Meteor technique, Jogo's confidence falters.

Haunted by memories of his fallen comrades, Jogo reflects on the nature of their existence and the eternity of the cursed. His belief in a future where curses triumph over humanity remains unshaken. Sukuna challenges Jogo's convictions, questioning his lack of cruelty and suggesting that true power is achieved through the ruthless annihilation of all obstacles—without regard for individuals like Satoru Gojo.
