The episode begins with the veil that was erected to keep curse users away from Shibuya Central Tower. Yuji attempts to dismantle the veil with his brute strength, but to no avail. Ino and Megumi discuss the intricacies of the veil and conclude that they must locate and destroy its foundation, which they suspect to be in a conspicuous location. Their attention turns to the Shibuya Watch Tower, where Ogami, Awasaka, and Ogami's grandson are seen discussing the veil.
When they locate Ogami and her associates, a battle ensues. In a flashback, Ino, Yuji, and Megumi are seen discovering an artifact connected to the veil's foundation. Megumi suggests that they destroy this artifact first and deal with the curse users later.
Back in the present, Ino realizes that there are actually three such artifacts and discovers one with Awasaka. Ino engages in battle with Ogami and her grandson, while Yuji and Megumi face off against Awasaka. During the fight, a flashback shows Ino expressing his desire to obtain Nanami's approval before becoming an official Grade 1 Sorcerer.
Yuji and Megumi find it difficult to land effective blows on Awasaka. Meanwhile, Ogami's grandson consumes a mysterious ampoule, which partially transforms him into Toji Zenin. The episode also takes a detour to the year 1989, when Satoru Gojo was born.
Additional context is provided about Ogami and Awasaka's past, particularly their fear of Satoru Gojo, who had a bounty placed on him. Megumi tries to persuade Awasaka to remove the veil, but Awasaka refuses, citing the fear Satoru has instilled in curse users over the years.
Megumi then distracts Awasaka with summoned rabbits and suggests to Yuji that they retreat, as he has figured out Awasaka's "Inverse" technique. At the same time, Ino realizes that Ogami is a spirit summoner who uses a seance technique to enable her grandson's transformation into Toji. Her grandson delivers several powerful blows to Ino.
The episode ends with Megumi and Yuji continuing their battle against Awasaka, now equipped with knowledge of his "Inverse" technique.
