The seventh episode of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen begins amidst the battle between Kokichi and Mahito. Just as it seems Mahito has gained the upper hand by activating his Domain Expansion, Kokichi turns the tables. He deploys Sadatsuna Ashiya's unique Domain technique, the Simple Domain, to incapacitate Mahito and free himself. This technique has the ability to nullify all other techniques, putting Mahito in a dangerous situation.
Attention briefly shifts to Suguru, who acknowledges the effectiveness of Kokichi's Simple Domain. But before Kokichi can focus on Suguru, Mahito launches an attack from within a giant mechanical warrior known as Giant Mechamaru. Kokichi reacts swiftly, summoning a smaller version of Mechamaru to protect himself, and prepares for a decisive strike against Mahito.
The scene transitions to a quiet conversation with Kasumi, who is talking with Mechamaru. She expresses her intention to strengthen their friendship by visiting him in the future. Despite this moment, the episode takes a dark turn as Mahito defeats Kokichi and leaves the scene with Suguru in tow.
Meanwhile, a mysterious veil has descended over a 400-meter radius around the Tokyu Department Store's Tokyo Outlet. It's Halloween evening, and the streets are filled with revelers. Eerie events unfold as an abnormal wind current appears, pulling people into its vortex.
As 8 PM approaches, Kento and Kiyotaka discuss the situation with Megumi and Takuma. At the same time, Akari informs Naobito, Maki, and Nobara about the public's demands for Satoru Gojo. Akari notes that while the barrier does not restrict sorcerers, it proves impassable. As a solution, she suggests locating and defeating the curse user responsible for the veil.
Elsewhere, Panda and Atsuya discuss the circumstances. Atsuya hypothesizes that the malevolent force behind the event might also be responsible for the veil. He mentions that the higher authorities have deployed Satoru Gojo alone to handle the issue, while other groups position themselves to support Satoru's efforts.
By the end of the episode, the frustration of the civilians trapped within the veil becomes evident. Their dissatisfaction is apparent as they are unable to leave the enclosed area. The final moments show Satoru Gojo breaking through the barrier, accidentally colliding with a civilian, and apologizing for his entrance.
