Scene Break - 20:38 PM Shibuya Hikarie B3F
Inside the station, the entire place was crawling with people; there wasn't even any space that didn't have someone occupying it. Multiple people are anxious and nervously sweating; some are trying their absolute hardest to get a signal on their mobile to contact someone. Some people are so exhausted they've passed out on the floor.
Gojo casually jumps off the railing he is sitting on with his hands in his pocket, seemingly about to land on a random girl, petrifying her. He used his infinity to jump from person to person. Satoshi began his mission to deal with the veil itself, softly chuckling at his brother's antics.
Gojo: Hey, pardon me.
Gojo cheekily says.
Gojo is hovering above the train tracks to the station; there were also hordes of people next to the tracks to begin with. Gojo observes the situation for a moment. Rubbing his neck sheepishly
Gojo: I guess I'll have to play along for now.
Gojo said to himself.
Scene Break - 20:39, Aoyama Cemetery
Yuji Itadori, Mei-Mei, and her little brother, Ui-Ui are currently discussing the situation in Shibuya. The trio are standing in a cemetery. Mei-Mei, with her arms crossed, stands across Yuji while Ui-Ui stands in between the pair holding Mei-Mei's weapon.
Sweat was dripping down the side of Yuji's cheek.
Yuji: They're making Gojo-Sensei do this alone?! I understand the logic, but there has to be something we can do, too! Be his backup or something!
Yuji exclaimed; he couldn't believe they had no support, despite how strong Gojo Satoru was.
Ui-Ui walks up to Yuji, giving the blondish-haired boy his sister's weapon for a moment, confusing Yuji for a moment. Ui-Ui, with a smile on his face, approaches his older sister, placing a napkin on one of the stairs next to a person's gravesite.
Sitting down on top of the napkin, Mei-Mei replies
Mei-Mei: Yeah. That's why we're heading to Shibuya now.
Yuji: Oh, we are?
Yuji asked in response.
Ui-Ui approached Yuji to take back Mei-Mei's weapon, smirking.
Ui-Ui: Give it back.
Ui-Ui told Yuji.
Yuji develops a slight tickmark on his head in response to
Yuji: Give it back?
Yuji said While Ui-Ui placed Mei-Mei's wrapped weapon next to her, leaning on the stairs.
Ui-Ui closes his eyes for a moment.
Ui-Ui: Forcing Nee-Sama to be his backup...That Gojo must think He's some big shot.
Ui-Ui says, in a dejected tone.
Yuji, on the other hand, deadpanned at this; he thought this entire exchange was weird to begin with. Ui-Ui was reminding the teenager of Yushiro from Demon Slayer; the behavior was eerily similar.
Mei-Mei placed her hand over Ui-Ui's shoulder, wrapping her arm around him.
Mei-Mei: Ah, Ui-Ui! You truly are adorable!
Mei-Mei alluringly said.
Ui-Ui: There you go, saying stuff you don't believe again. What you love isn't family, but work relations are treated as family relations, right?
Ui-Ui asked, pouting ever so slightly.
Mei-Mei softly chuckled before responding.
Mei-Mei: You really do get it. I love that part of you.
Ui-Ui: Oh, my!
Ui-Ui softly exclaimed.
Yuji deadpanned at this even further; this was too weird, even in the context of Jujutsu Sorcery, which was already insane enough. ( Shit even I the author am about to turn insane from all the lobotomy kaizen )
Yuji: Let's hurry up and go.
Suddenly, Mei-Mei's phone rings, and she picks up to respond.
Mei-Mei: Hello, Mei-Mei here. Oh?
She softly says, rubbing Ui-Ui's head, causing him to slightly blush.
Ui-Ui separated to pick up Mei-Mei's weapon.
Mei-Mei: Itadori-kun, change in destination.
Mei-Mei informed.
Yuji: Huh?
Yuji blurted out.
The trio began to set off, while Mei-Mei informed Yuji of the change of plans.
Mei-Mei: Another curtain like the one over Shibuya was lowered over Meiji Shrine Station. We're heading to that one.
Mei-Mei said. The blue-tinted-haired woman turned to Yuji and said.
Mei-Mei: We're running. Keep up.
She softly said.
Yuji: Right!
Yuji cheerfully responded.
Scene Break
Gojo was still hovering above the train tracks, deciding it was now time to spring the trap. He descended directly into the middle of the track, laughing to himself as he already noticed the cursed spirits that waited for him.
Gojo: I see you're all fully prepared.
Gojo said, chuckling lightly at the duo before him.
Jogoat and a new person were standing next to each other. This new man was seemingly human, with long black, stringy hair tied into two high ponytails, dark purple eyes, and a mark extending from both sides of his face across his nose.
Jogo was leaning on his wooden cane.
Jogo: You came.
Jogo stated, smiling.
Gojo: You won't have any excuses left when you lose this time.
Gojo responded, mocking Jogo.
Jogo: And have you given thought to the first excuse you'll use when you lose?
Jogo responded in turn to mock Gojo.
Scene Break - 20:51 Tokyo Metro, Meiji Shrine Station Exit 2
The trio of Yuji, Mei-Mei, and Ui-Ui arrived at one entrance of the station, as they were informed of the current situation by one of the assistants drawing an illustration onto a piece of paper.
Assistant: There's a curtain to keep ordinary people trapped inside, covering the entire underground subway station, and within that, there's another veil centered around the platform on level B5 that prevents sorcerers from entering. We believe the cursed spirit or curse user who lowered these veils is located somewhere between these two.
The brunette assistant informs, pointing her pen in between the two illustrated curtains on the drawn map.
Mei-Mei: Between them? Not on the platform they're centered around?
Mei-Mei asked.
Assistant: We believe they're most likely taking on the risk of being outside the curtain as well in order to strengthen the barrier. Two of our assistant supervisors have already been taken out. Also, in between these barriers...
The assistant informs before pausing momentarily.
Sweat is sliding down her cheek as she looks down.
Assistant: Well, we can't say for certain yet, but...
Mei-Mei: That's fine. Say it.
Mei-Mei tells her.
The assistant briefly exhaled, looking around as she began to sweat a little more.
Assistant: There are transfigured humans between the barriers.
She revealed. Yuji was shocked to hear this, and then the realization of who was behind it made him livid.
Just a few moments later, the trio was standing just outside the entrance. Mei-Mei was using her Black Bird Manipulation technique to scout out the other levels within the station to see what exactly they should expect.
Yuji was slightly getting impatient at this, not understanding what Mei-Mei was doing.
Yuji: What are you two doing?! We have to hurry!
Yuji shouted; he was worried.
Ui-Ui brought a finger to his mouth to stop Yuji from talking.
Ui-Ui: Shh! Nee-sama is currently sharing the crows' perception. It's a process that takes concentration, so be quiet.
Ui-Ui whisper-shouts.
Mei-Mei: I don't mind if you talk.
Mei-Mei casually responds.
Yuji: She says it's fine.
Yuji childishly points out.
Ui-Ui: Oh, Nee-sama!
Ui-Ui responds, pouting.
The crows that Mei-Mei had manipulated to scout out the station for her were casually gliding through the corridors of the station when suddenly they were killed, severing the connection for Mei-Mei.
Mei-Mei: Yeah.
Mei-Mei mutters to herself; she raises her head as she informs Ui-Ui and Yuji.
Mei-Mei: I've got the gist of it. Itadori-kun, which would you prefer? Killing lots of weak, transfigured humans or exorcising one powerful cursed spirit? Knowing you, it's probably the latter.
Mei-Mei says, shocking Yuji somewhat.
The blue-tinted-haired woman scrolls on her phone to show Yuji the map of the underground station.
Mei-Mei: This is a map of the underground station. The transfigured humans are mulling about and attacking normal people here, on level B4. The majority of normal people are probably at the train platform on level B5.
Mei-Mei explains.
Yuji: Probably?
Yuji asked.
Mei-Mei: The crows I used are imbued with cursed energy, so they couldn't enter B5. I'm guessing they're forcing normal people to flee to B5 and serving them up. Also, my crows got hunted down here, between B1 and B2. This is likely where the cursed spirit or curse user who lowered the curtain is. Maybe they're planning to hunt down any common people that come back up, or maybe it has something to do with the curtains' conditions, but it's unclear why they've chosen this positioning and what they hope to achieve by isolating level B5.
Mei-Mei explains.
Yuji points towards the ground.
Yuji: He's here, though, right? Right below us. That curse.
Yuji asked.
Mei-Mei: Maybe? My crows all got killed before they could confirm seeing Patchface. Though the presence of transfigured humans would suggest that's likely.
Mei-Mei answered.
She went back to her phone, scrolling through as she continued.
Mei-Mei: I'm not so sure about dividing up our forces, but if we keep wasting time, all the common people on B4 will be wiped out. The two of us will take Exit 7 directly to B4 and rescue the civilians. If it gets too dangerous, you head down there, as well. Though, if I can be greedy, I hope by the time we reunite, the curtain will be lifted, the civilians will be freed, and we'll know what our opponent on B5 is after.
Mei-Mei explained.
Yuji: Don't worry, Mei-san. I won't lose anymore.
Yuji declares.
Mei-Mei and Ui-Ui separate from Yuji as the blondish boy waves goodbye to Mei-Mei, finally beginning the mission. Yuji is walking by himself as he heads down to find the cursed spirit. He was hoping to find Mahito, who transfigured those people.
Timeskip - 21:03 Tokyo Metro, Meiji Shrine Station, B2F
Yuji had walked down the set of stairs only to find a cursed spirit, who resembled that of a grasshopper, currently feasting upon a person's corpse. You could almost feel his rage coming to a boiling point.
Suddenly the grasshopper curse came to a stop, and with blood dripping from his mouth, it turned to face Yuji, who was just across from him, staring. The hand of the person's corpse was still twitching out of pure reflex, despite the head being forcibly eaten.
Cursed Spirit: What are you looking at?
The curse asked, and Yuji frowned at this.
Cursed Spirit: Y-You're a j-juchu...j-jujuchu...juju...jujutsu sorcerer, right?
The curse asked, struggling to get his words out. The curse dropped the corpse he held onto, diverting his full attention to Yuji.
Cursed spirit: A jujutsu sorcerer, right? Right? I'm clever.
It asked once again, pointing to Yuji.
Yuji: The patchfaced cursed spirit is here, right? Where is he?
Yuji asked, annoyed at this creature already.
Cursed spirit: Patch...face? Patchface?
the curse asked, confused as to what Yuji meant.
Yuji: The one with stitches all over his face.
Yuji replied.
The curse was slightly offended by Yuji trying to help him.
Cursed spirit: Don't insult me! I know that much! I'm clever!
The curse, then pointing down Mahito.
Cursed spirit: I'm here protecting the curtain.
It revealed.
Yuji: Mahito...
Yuji muttered before he thought
Yuji: (In thought) I think Junpei called him that, too... No, its name doesn't matter right now.
Yuji began to think about Satoru explaining veils to him.
Yuji: (In thought) This thing is responsible for the curtain? Both of them? Doesn't seem likely...
He only then noticed something planted in the ground behind the curse.
Cursed spirit: Mahito's sorcery is bad.
The curse commented.
Yuji: (In thought) He did say he was "protecting the curtain." Which makes that very object very suspicious. I'll smash it for starters.
Yuji thought to himself.
Cursed spirit: Did you know? The humans he transfigures lose their flavor. I'm clever, so I can tell the difference!
The curse declared.
Immediately after, Yuji rushed towards it, sending a ruthless kick towards its head, forcing it to crash into the wall. He then proceeds to throw a punch at its chest, causing it to collapse through the wall.
Yuji: All of you need to stop underestimating humans.
Yuji lectured, getting himself into a fighting stance.
The lights within the room the cursed spirit crashed into started to flicker, and the curse picked itself up from the rubble as he responded.
Cursed spirit: I take it y-you're not clever, huh? You don't know what curse I am, do you? Did you know? The not-clever ones die first in this world.
Yuji: Huh? You're a grasshopper curse, right?
Yuji responded casually, but he was also confused.
The grasshopper curse was stupefied over the answer.
Cursed spirit: Huh?!
he blurted out, his teeth shattering out of pure shock.
Cursed spirit: (In thought) This guy...is clever!
The curse thought while Yuji was further questioned about what the hell was going on.
The curse immediately rushed towards Yuji, attempting to bite off his head multiple times, to which Yuji dove and weaved around the curse, its saliva flying around the area. Finally, Yuji jumped backward, causing the curse to bite into a sign.
Yuji: (In thought) What an incredible jaw and jump! The fact that it can understand speech means it's decently powerful, too, right?
Suddenly, the grasshopper curse rushed toward Yuji's left, attempting to land a hit on the teenager. However, Yuji twisted to the curse's right side, immediately somersaulting backward to gain some distance. Wings began to emerge from the grasshopper curse, allowing it to fly directly for Yuji. It attempted to grab Yuji, which was unsuccessful because Yuji somersaulted to the side.
The curse stopped for a moment before turning to face Yuji he ended up blasting through the wall nearby, chasing down Yuji as it tried to land a solid punch on the blondish-haired teenager. Yuji was effortlessly jumping around, avoiding anything thrown his way.
Cursed spirit: You keep just running away...Which is it with you?
The curse said. It beginning to get frustrated.
Yuji: (In thought) He probably doesn't have any tricks.
Yuji analyzed.
Yuji: Which what?
he asked.
Cursed spirit: Are you clever? Or not clever? I'm... clever.
the curse asked before declaring once again.
Yuji began to walk up to the curse.
Yuji: Clever people wouldn't really go around calling themselves clever.
he lectured.
The curse was holding his hand over his mouth, shocked.
Cursed Spirit: Really?!
it exclaimed. Yuji stopped walking right in front of the grasshopper curse, staring it down. The curse was still shocked over the lesson that Yuji had revealed to him. It was shaking immensely, sweating all over its body.
Yuji infused his cursed energy into his fists. Using divergent fists yet again, he prepared to throw punches at the curse. The curse caught on as it prepared to throw strikes towards Yuji, too. Their fists collided with each other's.
Cursed spirit: Time to go fist-to-fist. Your two arms versus my four.
The curse was said as their fists collided with each other. Yuji threw a right-handed jab, which the curse had avoided. Immediately, the teenager landed a left-handed jab onto its stomach, catching it off guard, which in turn opened the floodgates as Yuji began to land multiple blows onto the curse, overwhelming it.
Cursed spirit: (In thought) My arms, my jaw, and my eyes are all superior to those of humans. So why?
The curse thought to itself while Yuji kept punching its head.
Yuji took a moment to pause from the cluster of punches he just landed. The curse collapsed as clear damage was shown, with purple blood pouring from him and his wings shredded to pieces.
Cursed Spirit: (In thought) Why am I the only one getting hit?
The grasshopper again thought to itself.
Yuji started to approach the grasshopper curse as he raised his head slightly, firing out some of its blood towards Yuji. The sorcerer dove below the spit as he charged towards the curse.
Cursed spirit: Still, I Alone am the more clever one!
The curse claimed.
The curse attempted to stab Yuji with the tip of its abdomen, aiming for Yuji's face as it declared to him
Yuji: Nah, I'd win.
Yuji immediately slapped the abdomen upwards and he landed a devastating blow to it. Digging his right fist into it, purple blood gushed out of Yuji's hand.
Scene Break
Jogo imbued his fists with cursed energy, grinning from ear to ear. He charged towards Gojo while engulfing four innocent people in flames and cremating them. The normal people around them were terrified, screaming, as some couldn't even see what was happening.
Marked Curse: Blood Manipulation: Sliding Exorcism.
The marked curse said, using his technique to slice through multiple people in its path as it was aimed at Gojo's head. The technique was blocked by Gojo's infinity technique, deflecting off of it.
Gojo's point of view was blocked by the blood manipulation technique, only to realize that Jogo was attempting to punch him. Only for Jogo to be stopped by Gojo's infinity technique.
Gojo lightly laughed at this. Jogo raised his right fist, attempting to strike Gojo, when suddenly Jogo shouted
Domain Amplification!
A light blue light emerged from Jogo's fist as he slowly crept closer to Gojo. The white-haired man noticed what he was doing, placing a hand near his chin before warping away. This caused Jogo to hit the wall.
Gojo: Makes sense. I suppose you would think of that after allying with curse users.
Gojo comments, landing on top of the train railings.
Gojo: (In thought) Domain Amplification...It's the same principle as the New Shadow School's simple domain. They envelop themselves with the domain. While that reduces its guaranteed-hit effect, it ensures they neutralize any technique used. That would allow their attacks to hit me.
A short-haired woman nearby is huddled up, screaming in agony. One guy runs up to her attempting to comfort her.
Man: Hey, stand up! Come on, keep it together! You're okay! Come on, take my hand.
The man says this when suddenly blood fires out of his mouth, landing on the frightened woman.
Jogo had just stabbed him with his fist.
Jogo: I thought I told you not to run. Can you not understand unless I do this?
Jogo says, creating the man he just stabbed.
Gojo: Man, honestly, I'm shocked.
Gojo comments.
Jogo: What? Making excuses?
Jogo mockingly asked, grinning even further.
Gojo: Not at all, baldy.
Gojo claps back harder.
Gojo decides to take off his blindfold, tossing it behind him. Revealing his vibrant blue eyes. Before he continues
Gojo: I'm saying I'm shocked that you ever thought you could beat me if this is all you've got.
Gojo says it with a threatening tone. Jogo, despite grinning at him, is slightly nervous. Noticeable sweatdrops are dripping from his head.
( Flashback)
Kenjaku and Jogo are currently discussing the plan to tackle Gojo at a kids' park. All while Hanami and Mahito are playing around with the bubbles that Kenjaku is blowing out.
Kenjaku: Do you understand when Gojo Satoru is able to utilize his power to the fullest?
Kenjaku asks.
Jogo: Quit with the build-up and say it.
Jogo says it impatiently.
Kenjaku: Well, it's...when he's alone. Any jujutsu sorcerer with him is basically just a hindrance; Zaegar is the only exception to this rule. So we'll go one step lower and completely surround Gojo Satoru with non-sorcerers. We'll have a distraction set up for Zaegar and Yhwach in the meantime.
Kenjaku reveals, blowing even more bubbles. Jogo looks down for a moment, slightly sighing to himself.
As a little girl is currently popping the balloons, Kenjaku continues to explain the plan.
Kenjaku: The minimum output of his cursed technique reversal is double that of his amplification. It'll be nearly impossible for him to use it without catching non-sorcerers in it, too. He probably won't be able to charge his Blue up to an effective output, either.
Kenjaku explains.
Kenjaku: It should prove difficult for him to use Blue for high-speed movement as well. It would make him a dump truck, as far as non-sorcerers are concerned. Get hit, and it's instant death. So in that situation, Gojo Satoru will have to focus his energy on defense.
Kenjaku states.
Hanami and Mahito, on the other hand, are still running around playing with the bubbles without a care in the world.
Jogo: What do we do about his domain, Infinite Void?
Jogo inquires.
Kenjaku: The only ones unaffected by Infinite Void are Gojo Satoru himself and anyone he touches. Even if he does have the skill to selectively trap you all in it, a great number of non-sorcerers would get crushed to death in the space left between his domain and the curtain.-
Kenjaku pauses and then continues.
Kenjaku: Chances are 99% that he won't use his domain. But that means you mustn't use your domains either. If you draw a large mass of non-sorcerers into your domain, he'll be forced to give up on them and use his, too. And you already realize that you can't win a tug-of-war of domains, right?
Kenjaku answers before blowing another batch of bubbles that float softly into the air.
Kenjaku: At any rate, you just need to get Gojo Satoru to focus. Focus on defeating cursed spirits and rescuing non-sorcerers.
Kenjaku says.
( End of Flashback )
Jogo began running around Gojo in circles, hiding among the innocent people. Frustrated with his teammate, he screamed.
Jogo: Choso! If you're not going to help, I'll kill you myself!
Choso: Yeah, yeah.
Choso responded in a somewhat dejected tone. Firing his blood manipulation technique through the heads of four innocent people in a futile attempt to hit Gojo.
Gojo: (In thought) Not too close, not too far. But that's the best they can do. The people who can't see cursed spirits have started avoiding me. If their numbers keep declining and space opens up, then I can catch Volcano Head. No more releasing my technique to lure it in like before. I've revealed my goal of beating them to a pulp in close combat, and it'll be an issue if it keeps its distance and coordinates with that Death Painting to unleash a big attack through the crowd.
Gojo thinks to himself.
Gojo: I'm sorry. I can't save everyone. So I promise to exorcise them instead!
Gojo declared.
Jogo: (In thought) It's still not time?! It has to have been over twenty minutes by now!
Jogo thinks to himself as he is running around.
Just nearby, at the end of the track, Kenjaku was sitting on top of another curse next to the squid-like curse. He lazily placed his chin on his head, spectating the entire fight.
Kenjaku: Not yet. Gojo Satoru's still completely composed. We need him much more on edge.
Kenjaku says to himself.
Suddenly, an announcement could be heard, ringing around the entire station.
Train announcer: An eight-car train is pulling in. Please wait behind the yellow line. Please do not lean on the platform doors, reach your hands, or face past them.
The train announcer said.
Gojo was surprised to hear this all of a sudden. The sound of the train wheels rolling on the tracks themselves. The sound of this caught the attention of all the bystanders; they smiled in relief and ran towards the railings. The train stopped immediately in front of the entire crowd. Jogo was immensely relieved to hear this.
Jogo It's here!
he blurted out.
People started to flock towards the doors of the train. One man made his way to the doors, pushing anyone in his path out of the way, only to notice the horror that awaited them inside the train. There were multiple disfigured monsters lurking inside the train cars, pushing against the windows and doors.
The man was paralyzed with fear and shock, only for one transfigured human to emerge towards him, biting a chunk out of his head. He died, collapsing on the ground. Everyone screamed while they fled from these monsters.
Gojo stood there, fuming over the situation.
Gojo: What the fuck are they thinking?
he said to himself.
Mahito suddenly emerged, jumping out of the train car and cheerfully shouting
Mahito: Jogo!
The blue-haired curse softly inhales and exhales.
Mahito: Man, the air smells so nice here. It's full of fear. Let's leave a few humans alive after all. We can release them into the woods on weekends and go hunting!
Mahito suggested it happily.
Jogo: Can I burn the forest down with them in it?
Jogo asked, walking up to his ally.
While this conversation was taking place, the transfigured humans continued to chase down the non-sorcerers, feasting upon any people they got their hands on. Gojo was simply standing there, scoffing.
Mahito immediately lunged towards Gojo, surfing on top of a transfigured person, attempting to stab Satoru with his wrist, which he transfigured into a spike. This was blocked by Gojo's infinity. Mahito simply laughed.
Mahito: I really can't hit you!
the curse exclaimed.
Gojo: (In thought) Patchface! The one Nanami and Zaegar talked about?!
Gojo thought as he slapped away Mahito's hand. Satoru responded by throwing a jab towards Mahito, to which the blue-haired curse dove before floating away and grinning.
Mahito: Let me tell you one of the gross things about humans. There are too many of them!
Mahito said.
Gojo: (In thought) So there are either cursed spirits or curse users above us, too.
Gojo thought to himself.
Idle Transfiguration: Soul Multiplicity/Blood Manipulation: Convergence.
Supernova/Body Repel
Chose used his technique to slice through multiple unfortunate people, shooting blood from every direction. Gojo was powerless to stop this madness. Jogo attempted to rush from above, throwing another punch infused with his energy. Gojo casually grabbed his wrist, forcibly severing Jogo's arm. Jogo smiled as he backed off.
From all directions, people fled from these monsters; blood painted the floor and walls of the landing platform. Satoru stood there, shadows covering his eyes.
( Flashback )
Kenjaku: Gojo Satoru isn't like Yuji Itadori. I know he's capable of cold logic. He probably assumes some degree of sacrifice is needed as he makes certain to exorcise us.
Kenjaku said.
( End of Flashback )
Mahito: But with both the death count and the number of living people rising, the scales determining what degree is acceptable can no longer function.
Mahito said.
Jogo: (In thought) What you need to do right now is use your infinite void to kill us and all the people here so you can save the people outside of your domain. But you're incapable of doing that. Because the sacrifices you're willing to accept are 'people killed by cursed spirits,' not people killed by Gojo Satoru.
Now, think.
Ponder it.
Focus your mind!
Choso, Jogo, and Mahito were shocked and sweating ridiculously. Gojo decided to use his domain expansion.
Mahito: For real?
Mahito asked. Gojo had crossed his fingers, blankly staring.
Domain Expansion: Infinite Void.
The black and white hollow void consumed the entire area, freezing non-sorcerers, transfigured humans, and cures alike. Gojo got right to work, running around the entire area, killing any transfigured humans within the area as their heads flew off, dropping to the ground.
It was a desperate gamble on a domain expansion lasting two-tenths of a second. Two-tenths of a second was the limit Gojo Satoru set purely on instinct. It was the amount of time he believed non-sorcerers could withstand being in Infinite Void without becoming vegetables or facing after-effects.
During those two-tenths of a second, roughly half a year's worth of information flowed into the brains of the non-sorcerers and transfigured humans present, rendering every one of them unconscious while standing upright.
However, all the survivors from B5F were able to return to society two months later. That's how limited his infinite void was. Of course, that meant the special-grade cursed spirits could reawaken at any moment. So, with their potential counterattack in mind, Gojo Satoru narrowed his focus on the transfigured humans.
Blood covered the ground around the train tracks, and the corpses of transfigured people were ripped apart as one lone white-haired man stood panting heavily as he held two heads in each of his hands. The people around him were paralyzed; they couldn't move.
After dismissing his domain, the second-strongest of the modern age slaughtered all of the roughly 1,000 transfigured humans unleashed upon B5F in 299 seconds. Finally able to catch his breath, Gojo was shocked to notice a cube on the ground that wasn't even four meters away from him.
Prison Realm, Gate Open.
Suddenly, a massive eye emerged from the cube, with staples holding the eye wide open as it bled through its eye. The eye looked directly at Satoru, momentarily catching him off guard. Satoru attempted to get out of there when he suddenly heard the voice of a friend he had long thought dead, stopping him in place.
Kenjaku: Hey, Satoru.
Kenjaku softly says, waving his hand.
Gojo: Huh?
Gojo blurted out, shocked.
Kenjaku: Long time, no see.
Gojo stood there, shocked. No, that couldn't even describe the range of emotions the man was feeling at this very moment.
Gojo: (In thought) A fake? A transformation technique? No, it's really him!
Gojo smiled to see his best friend. The memories that the two men shared with each other flashed through his mind—all of the good times and bad. The time Gojo and Geto hung out—the journey with the Star Plasma Vessel—everything came flashing through the man's head.
It's only a minute in Gojo Satoru's mind.
Suddenly the cube latched itself onto Gojo from several angles, stopping him from moving at all. Gojo came back to reality, shocked over the situation.
Kenjaku smiled, mockingly suggesting.
Kenjaku: You shouldn't lose yourself in thought in the midst of battle, Satoru.
Gojo: (In thought) I can't sense any cursed energy. I can't get my body to move, either. This is checkmate, huh?
Gojo thinks.
Gojo: So, who the hell are you?
Gojo asked.
Kenjaku: I'm Suguru Geto. Don't you remember me? How sad.
Kenjaku responded.
Gojo: Your body, your cursed energy... all the information provided by these eyes is telling me you're Suguru Geto.
Gojo said.
Gojo: But...
Gojo: My soul is rejecting all that! Now, answer me already! Who the hell are you?!
Gojo roared. His rage was simmering to a boiling point.
Kenjaku pulled onto the stitching on his forehead. He removed it from his head, smiling at Gojo.
Kenjaku: Creepy.
Kenjaku said. He then removed the top of his head, exposing his brain, to reveal that he had taken over the body of Suguru Geto. He truly died on 24th December 2017, from Gojo that night.
Kenjaku: How could you tell?
Kenjaku asked, a clear and colorless fluid dripping down his entire face while he smiled, holding the top of his head.
Gojo grits his teeth further.
Kenjaku: That's my technique, you see. I can pass from one body to another by replacing its brain with myself. Of course, I'm also able to use the technique etched into the body I inhabit. I really wanted this man's curse manipulation and this situation, too.
Kenjaku goes on to explain.
Kenjaku: You didn't have Shoko Ieiri handle the disposal of Geto Suguru's body that day, did you?
Kenjaku questioned him, sealing the top of his head once again.
Kenjaku: That was an odd time for you to show consideration. But thanks to that, I was able to obtain this body with ease. You needn't worry. I'll release your seal eventually. A hundred, no, maybe a thousand years from now? You're just too strong, all three of you. You three are in the way of my plans.
Kenjaku says.
Gojo: you'll still have to deal with Zaegar, you're all so fucked!
Gojo says, laughing at Kenjaku.
Kenjaku: Yuta Okkotsu, huh? I just don't see as much appeal in that boy as you do. Copying techniques without any conditions and a bottomless well of cursed energy...both of those were just effects obtained from binding the soul of his most beloved with a pact. Sorry to say this, but Yuta Okkotsu can never replac-
Before Kenjaku could continue Zaegar appeared in the middle of both Gojo and Kenjaku shocking both of them.
Zaegar: Ew it's you again the fuck are you doing here nevermind that.
Zaegar turns to Gojo.
Zaegar: Oi Albino-haired bitch you still promised me some food and me and Yhwach are homeless so could ya lend us some money
Gojo's expression shifted from shock to annoyance as he glanced at Zaegar, his vibrant blue eyes narrowing slightly.
Gojo: Zaegar... You just can't seem to stay out of trouble, can you?
He sighed, shaking his head in exasperation.
Gojo: And now you're here, asking me for money and food? Do you ever think about the consequences of your actions?
His tone was tinged with a mixture of frustration and concern, his gaze piercing as he regarded the hollow before him.
His voice held a note of warning, a silent command for Zaegar to get to the point.
Zaegar merely shrugged, his grin widening as he leaned casually against a nearby wall.
Zaegar: Oh, nothing much, just a little favor. You see, Yhwach and I are in a bit of a tight spot, and we could use some assistance.
Kenjaku's eyes narrowed as he observed Zaegar's presence, his mind calculating the implications of the hollow's appearance in the midst of their confrontation.
Kenjaku: (in thought) Zaegar, Yhwach... Their involvement could disrupt my plans significantly. I need to neutralize this threat quickly.
With a swift movement, Kenjaku lunged forward, grabbing Zaegar by the collar of his shirt before the hollow could react. He lifted Zaegar effortlessly, a smirk playing on his lips as he addressed the hollow.
Kenjaku: You're quite the nuisance, aren't you? But I have no use for you in my plans.
With a flick of his wrist, Kenjaku hurled Zaegar towards Gojo, who was still immobilized by the cube's grasp. The hollow collided with Gojo, causing both of them to be enveloped by the Prison Realm's gate as it opened once again.
As they vanished into the realm, Zaegar managed to utter one last insult at Kenjaku, his words dripping with venom and hatred.
Zaegar: You damn fucking whore!
With that final curse, the gate closed behind them, leaving Kenjaku standing alone on the platform, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
Kenjaku: (in thought) One problem dealt with. Now, onto the next phase of my plan.
Scene Break
Yuji, Mei-Mei, and Ui-Ui were walking down one of the train tracks when suddenly Yuji screamed out of nowhere. The sibling turned to face Yuji while he placed his hand on his left ear. It was a device with Mechamaru's signature face.
Mei-Mei: What's the matter?
Mei-Mei asked.
Yuji: Something in my ear.
Yuji said.
Mechamaru: Can you hear me, Yuji Itadori? There's no time. Listen and understand the first time.
Mechamaru said.
Gojo Satoru and Zaegar have been sealed.
