Synopsis
Kenjaku—once known as Noritoshi Kamo and most recently as Suguru Getou—moves forward with a centuries-spanning scheme aimed at reshaping humanity and wiping out ordinary people. In the aftermath of the Shibuya incident, Satoru Gojou remains sealed away, and the jujutsu higher-ups reinstate the execution order for 15-year-old Yuuji Itadori. Unaware of the decision hanging over him, Yuuji roams the deserted streets of Tokyo alongside Chousou, cutting down cursed spirits wherever they appear.
Tensions also flare within the Zenin Clan when Megumi Fushiguro is named the next clan head, dealing a blow to the proud Naoya Zenin. Determined to lure Megumi out, Naoya targets Yuuji—only for Yuuta Okkotsu to step in as the sorcerer tasked with carrying out Yuuji’s sentence. As Kenjaku’s “Culling Game” begins—a deadly, Japan-wide battle royale that forces jujutsu participants to kill one another—the younger sorcerers enter the conflict to confront lingering grudges, seek a way to free Gojou, and stand against Kenjaku’s growing threat.
