Kenjaku uses his identity as the original Noritoshi Kamo to become the head of the Kamo clan, crushing the student Kamo's plans, so he convenes with Maki in the Sakurajima Colony. They are then suddenly attacked by a cursed spirit, which is actually Naoya, reborn as a curse due to not being killed by cursed energy. He enters a cursed womb state and successfully evolves, overpowering Maki and Kamo thanks to his incredible speed courtesy of his cursed technique. Kamo keeps Naoya busy while Maki heals, only for their fight to be interrupted by the arrival of two reincarnated sorcerers, the katana-obsessed Hagane Daido and the sumo-obsessed Rokujushi Miyo. Daido uses Maki's katana to fight Naoya while Maki enters Miyo's Simple Domain, where he helps her reach an epiphany and unlock her true potential. Now that she has reached the same level as Toji, an enraged Naoya activates his Domain Expansion, trapping the sorcerers, but thanks to having no cursed energy, Maki is able to stab him with her katana, killing him. Meanwhile back in the Tokyo No. 1 colony, Megumi awakens alongside Hana, Yuji, and Takaba. They learn that Hana and Angel share a symbiotic relationship and their goal is to take out the reincarnated sorcerers. They agree to remove the seal on the Prison Realm if they help them track down "the Disgraced One", which is Sukuna. | |||||

Prior to the Shibuya Incident, Kenjaku revealed the existence of cursed energy in Japan to the American government and other nations. He convinced them to use the Culling Games as an opportunity to kidnap sorcerers and curse users to use as an energy source. In the present, Yuji's group are surprised by the sudden increase in players as the American soldiers begin to infiltrate the colony. Meanwhile, with the Culling Games having served its purpose, Kenjaku storms Jujutsu High to capture Tengen. Choso, and then Yuki, each fight him, with the latter in particular doing enough damage to force Kenjaku to reveal his other secret abilities, however they still prove to not be enough to overpower him. Yuki sacrifices herself, allowing Choso to escape, and turns herself into a miniature black hole in an attempt to finish Kenjaku for good, however he still manages to survive and corners the weakened Tengen. | |||||

The American soldiers storm the colony in an attempt to capture sorcerers, however they turn out to be mere fodder for the curse spirits, so Yuji and his group go to help as many as they can. Afterwards, they learn of Yuki's defeat and Tengen now being under Kenjaku's control, so accelerate their plans of attack. They have Tsumiki escorted into the colony, in order to give her points, however to everyone's shock, she uses the points to add a new rule. She reveals that she is actually a reincarnated sorcerer known as Yorozu, who has taken over Tsumiki's body, and flies away. Before everyone can react, Sukuna activates his "Enchain" Binding Vow, giving him complete control of Yuji's body for a minute. He uses this to execute his long-awaited plan: taking over Megumi's body by force feeding him one of Yuji's fingers. Hana and Angel attempt to destroy Sukuna, but he survives and incapacitates her. Yuji, later joined by Maki, fight Sukuna head-on, who is held back due to Megumi's soul restricting his cursed energy input, until he is saved by Uraume, and escapes. Sukuna proceeds to drown Megumi's soul in curses in order to gain complete control of the body, deciding to finish the deed by killing Tsumiki. He confronts Yorozu in Sendai, who is completely infatuated with Sukuna and challenges him to a fight to win his love. | |||||

Sukuna battles Yorozu, specifically only using the Ten Shadows Technique in order to make it more painful for Megumi. By summoning a now tamed Mahoraga, Sukuna defeats Yorozu, who thanks him before dying, while Megumi drowns further into despair. Kenjaku forcefully implements a rule to end the Culling Games upon the deaths of all the players minus him and Sukuna.

A freed Gojo emerges to confront Kenjaku and Sukuna, and they agree to have their final confrontation on December 24th. Each side prepares for the final battle, with Sukuna ingesting all but one of his remaining fingers, and Yuji receiving training for new techniques. On the day of, while Kenjaku goes to track down the remaining Culling Games players, Gojo and Sukuna battle in Shinjuku, with a live feed broadcast by Mei Mei and viewed by the rest of the sorcerers. Gojo and Sukuna fight on near equal ground in terms of strength.

While the Jujutsu Sorcerers continue to observe and speculate on the events, Gojo wins in the Domain clash against Sukuna, although even he starts to feel the effects of being pushed to his limits. As he once again has the upper hand, Sukuna finally activates the Ten Shadows technique and unleashes Mahoraga, who has already managed to adapt to his Unlimited Void and counters it. Gojo feels the effects of overusing Domains in his brain, but when Sukuna tries to attack, he receives the same blowback. The two proceed to trade increasingly heavier blows once again, until Mahoraga succeeds in adapting to even his Infinity, dealing a deadly attack to Gojo. Sukuna continues to throw more of the Ten Shadows toward Gojo to prevent him from restoring his fallen output, while the sorcerers debate about joining the fight to support him. Eventually, Gojo manages to last long enough and activates Hollow Purple, unleashing a massive explosion that completely disintegrates Mahoraga and leaves Sukuna heavily wounded. However, just as Gojo is proclaimed the victor of the battle, Sukuna executes his ultimate Cleave technique to bypass Gojo's Infinity, slicing Gojo completely in half and killing him. Gojo reunites with Geto in the aftermath, where he reflects on the battle and his regrets in life. Meanwhile, Kashimo arrives on the battlefield to take on Sukuna next. | |||||

While Hakari keeps Uraume busy, Kashimo battles Sukuna using his ultimate lightning technique, as well as questioning Sukuna's idea on what it means to be strong. To heal himself from all the damage he received, Sukuna finishes his incarnation, restoring his true form, and promptly hits Kashimo with a fatal Cleave. Meanwhile, Kenjaku has been entering the other Colonies to take out the remaining Culling Games players, when he is confronted by Takaba, who is unexpectedly able to survive every one of his attacks. Kenjaku figures out the function behind his Comedian Technique, and starts to match Takaba's wits and comedy. Takaba is initially disheartened, but after reflecting upon his own desires, re-engages Kenjaku in a literal laugh riot. Eventually, Kenjaku comes out on top, but the battle distracted him long enough for Yuta to catch him off guard, cutting his head off. Back in Shinjuku, Yuji and Higuruma confront Sukuna next, using Higuruma's Domain to sentence him to death. However, while that is successful, instead only Sukuna's cursed tool is confiscated, rather than his cursed energy, disrupting their plans. | |||||
