Suddenly, the atmosphere crackled with tension as the clash between Sukuna and Gojo intensified. Sukuna's grip on Gojo's neck tightened, constricting his airways and depriving him of precious oxygen. Desperate for relief, Gojo had no choice but to gasp for air through his mouth, struggling for breath amidst the suffocating grip.
Just as Sukuna's fingers were poised to forcefully extract Gojo's tongue, a loud, authoritative voice echoed through the air, halting them both in their tracks.
"DO NOT MOVE!!" The command boomed, freezing them in place, rendering their bodies immobile against their will.
In a remarkable twist of fate, Maki, Panda, Yuuji, and Yuuta emerged from the nearby building, like a group of warriors ready to challenge any threat. Their eyes blazed with determination as they hastily approached the entangled combatants, intent on freeing Gojo from Sukuna's relentless grasp.
Without a moment's hesitation, Yuuji, Panda, and Yuuta launched themselves at Sukuna, their united strength aimed at prying his fingers open from their teacher's throat. The sheer force and determination behind their efforts were a testament to their unwavering loyalty to their beloved teacher, Gojo Satoru.
Simultaneously, Maki, armed with her trusty sword, swiftly manoeuvred herself within striking distance of Sukuna's formidable presence. With calculated precision, she sliced through his flesh, leaving a trail of cuts and incisions in her wake. The sheer audacity and skill behind her swift strikes demonstrated her unwavering resolve to protect her comrades at all costs.
Maki's sword sliced through Sukuna's body, sending a sharp and intense pain coursing through him. It was as if lightning was surging through his vessel. Despite the excruciating agony, Sukuna was no stranger to pain. His tolerance for it was exceptionally high, developed over centuries of experience. Long ago, when he was still human, he served as a special-grade jujutsu sorcerer and a respected general for the Japanese emperor. In those times, he had learned to endure unimaginable suffering. As Sukuna prepared to heal himself through the reverse curse technique, a sudden realization struck him.
"Damn it, what's wrong with me?" he thought, his mind wracked with confusion. His cursed energy, which had been an indomitable force until now, was inexplicably reduced by half.
"THAT WHORE..-!"
A momentary frenzy of resistance surged through Sukuna's veins, but his attempts to break free to attack Maki who's somehow unknowingly managed to fuck up his cursed energy were swiftly quelled as Inumaki, with his mastery of jujutsu techniques, swiftly intervened.
"DO NOT MOVE!!" Inumaki's commanding voice echoed once again, ensnaring Sukuna's movements in a web of powerful spells.
Meanwhile, Maki and Inumaki are still locked in a heated battle against Sukuna. Yuuji, Panda, and Yuuta managed to rescue Satoru from Sukuna's clutches and quickly moved his wounded body away from the chaos.
"You two go help Maki and Inumaki. I'll take care of Gojo-sensei," Yuuta barked, taking charge. With a determined nod, Yuuji and Panda raced back into the fight, determined to weaken Sukuna and drain his cursed energy before executing the final step of their bold plan to bring him down once and for all.
Without wasting a moment, Yuuta tapped into his expertise in reverse cursed technique, mending Gojo-sensei's injuries and restoring him to a stable condition. Just as Yuuta prepared to regrow Gojo-sensei's severed right arm, Satoru intervened, brushing off the help.
"Save your cursed energy. I can handle this," Satoru grumbled, picking himself up from the ground. Miraculously, his right hand regenerated, returning to its former state.
Turning to Yuuta, Satoru inquired, "Are you ready for the final step of our plan, Yuuta?" Yuuta nodded with unwavering resolve, producing a distinctive white rope adorned with powerful talismans.
"Alright then, let's get fucking to it!" Gojo commanded, instilling a sense of determination in the group.
As Yuuta and Satoru entered back into the heat of battle, an intense determination burned within them. Satoru keenly observed Sukuna's waning cursed energy, a sign that the moment to rescue Megumi and eradicate the malevolent presence of Sukuna had arrived. As they reached their destination, their eyes widened with concern when they beheld Inumaki, his mouth bleeding profusely.
With a sense of urgency, Satoru commanded his student, "Yuuta, tend to Inumaki!" Without hesitation, Yuuta sprinted towards his injured comrade, offering him the necessary aid. Meanwhile, Gojo swiftly sprung into action, skillfully ensnaring Sukuna's body with a tightly coiled white rope, effectively immobilizing him and preventing any escape.
The tension in the air reached its peak as the entwined rope gave birth to two distinct ends, eagerly awaiting their next course of action. In a synchronized display of strength, both Panda and Yuuji simultaneously pulled on the opposite ends of the rope with all their might. Sukuna, unable to resist the force, found himself forced into a vulnerable position as his limbs were stretched apart, granting Satoru an advantage for the next crucial step.
Every eye on the battlefield fixated on Satoru as he approached Sukuna, determination etched onto his face. Placing both hands upon Sukuna's (Megumi's) head, he whispered something that sent shivers down the spine of all who heard it. The hairs on the back of Sukuna's neck stood straight up, hinting at the gravity and power of those words.

As the blinding white light surrounded Sukuna's seemingly indefatigable body, an agonized scream escaped his lips, echoing through the air. Each fibre of his being throbbed with excruciating pain, causing his powerful frame to convulse involuntarily. Puzzled and caught off guard, Sukuna's mind raced to comprehend the nature of this overwhelming force that seemed to defy both cursed energy and conventional techniques. "What power is this?!" he growled, gritting his teeth in frustration.
Desperate to hold Sukuna captive, Yuuji and Panda, aided by the assistance of Yuuta and Inumaki, tightened their grip on the rope, leaving no room for the malevolent entity to make a swift escape. Sukuna's attempts to break free from this entrapment became more fervent, his raw strength straining against the unyielding restraint. Yet, despite his best efforts, he found himself immobilized, trapped in the clutches of his adversaries.
However, amidst this chaotic scene, something peculiar caught Sukuna's attention. Against all expectations, Fushiguro Megumi, who had been silently enduring unimaginable suffering within his soul, materialized right before Sukuna's very eyes. The sight was baffling, for Megumi appeared to have lost consciousness, his frail form falling limply into the waiting arms of Gojo Satoru.
Tears welled up in the corners of Satoru's eyes, glistening as they rolled down his cheeks, carrying with them a mix of emotions. The sight of his beloved son finally returned to his arms, filled him with both relief and a profound sense of worry. The technique entrusted to him by Kami-Sama, though powerful, seemed to drain his very soul each time he invoked it. Nevertheless, Satoru mustered the strength to utilize the technique, repeatedly, driven by an unwavering determination to save Megumi.
His devotion knew no bounds, as he would go to any lengths to ensure Megumi's well-being. Remarkably, Satoru's relentless efforts yielded results that seemed impossible before. Saving his loved ones from early Death. Deep within his heart, however, Satoru longed to bring his son back to their home, to nurture him back to health, just as before.
But there was still one crucial task that lay ahead, one that required their utmost dedication-an endeavour to extinguish Sukuna's menacing presence and eradicate his cursed energy from the face of the earth, once and for all. Driven by an unshakable compulsion, Satoru summoned his powers, teleporting Megumi's body directly to where Shouko was, ensuring his son's safety in the process. The weight of responsibility bore heavily on Satoru's shoulders as he made this life-altering decision, fraught with the understanding that it was necessary for the greater good of all of them.
Satoru's actions were swift and decisive. With the last finger of Sukuna clutched tightly in his grip, he boldly thrust it into the awaiting jaws of the cursed entity. A surge of power coursed through Sukuna's veins as his Cursed Energy intensified, triggering a profound transformation within him. His very form began to morph into that of a legendary King Of Curses, a depiction painfully familiar from their history lessons at the jujutsu school.
In the blink of an eye, Sukuna sprouted four large arms, each bearing wickedly sharp claws. His once-piercing gaze multiplied, as four fiery eyes fixated upon his surroundings. Perhaps the most shocking alteration manifested as a gaping maw materialized on his stomach, devouring the attention of all who witnessed this grotesque spectacle.
Now faced with this monstrous incarnation, Sukuna, in his desperate bid for freedom, found himself surrounded not only by Yuuji, Yuuta, Inumaki, and Panda but also by the determined Satoru. With an iron grip, the seasoned sorcerer sought to restrain Sukuna and sever his ties to this mortal plane. Then, with a powerful command booming through the chaos, Gojo's voice pierced the air.
"NOW!" he exclaimed, his tone resonating with unyielding authority. In a thunderous flurry of action, Maki, who seemed to appear out of thin air, positioned herself stealthily behind Sukuna's imposing figure. In one swift and forceful motion, she clasped a crystal necklace firmly around his neck.
As the necklace merged with its unwilling host, an ethereal fusion of white light and vibrant green energy enveloped Sukuna's tortured frame. The surrounding atmosphere erupted into a furious tempest, propelling rocks and dust into a turbulent dance in the sky. With every eye fixed upon the scene, it became evident that any lingering traces of cursed energy were being drawn inexorably into the pulsating green crystal.
Amid this intense spectacle, Sukuna's face contorted in agony. A haunting, guttural scream ripped through the air as he experienced the excruciating sensation of being torn asunder, his essence seemingly consumed by searing flames. In a cruel twist of fate, he discovered that his own body was trapped within the confines of the crystal necklace, which relentlessly absorbed every vestige of cursed energy present in the heavens and on earth.
Sukuna's strength waned with each passing moment, leaving him weakened and defenceless. Eventually, his eyelids grew heavy, and consciousness slipped away, his final glimpse fixated on the once-cursed sky of Shibuya city, now restored to its serene and unblemished hue. The chapter of Sukuna's reign had come to a close, leaving an eerie calm in its wake.
