**[01:32] (Flashback) Mai**
She's just a weakling.
**[01:34] (Flashback) Mai**
She can't even see curses.
**[01:36] (Flashback) Mai**
She's just a normal person
swinging around cursed tools.
**[01:39] (Flashback) Mai**
She's forever a fourth-grade.
**[01:41] (Flashback) Mai**
Why is she even a jujutsu sorcerer at all?
**[01:45] (Flashback) Utahime**
Break's over.
**[01:46] (Flashback) Mai**
Okay.
**[01:48] Miwa**
*I see.*
**[01:50] Miwa**
*That's a relief.*
**[01:53] Miwa**
*Stupid Mai!*
**[01:54] Miwa**
*This woman is incredibly strong!*
**[01:58] Miwa**
* She's using a longer weapon,*
* so I'd like to close the distance,*
**[02:01] Miwa**
* but it's all I can do*
* to dodge and parry her!*
**[02:03] Miwa**
*If she were using the blade,*
**[02:06] Miwa**
*I would've died twice!*
**[02:08] Miwa**
*She's only fourth-grade?!*
**[02:11] Miwa**
* She could easily defeat*
* second-grade cursed spirits!*
**[02:16] Miwa**
* And how is she able to swing such a long sword*
* in this forest with so much stuff in the way?!*
**[02:41] ---**
*New Shadow Style: Simple Domain!*
**[02:47] ---**
* This allows me to attack anything that*
* enters the 2.21-meter radius of my domain*
**[02:51] ---**
*on full-auto reflex.*
**[02:53] ---**
* It's released if my feet move from*
* the point they're at when it's activated.*
**[02:58] ---**
*On top of that,*
**[02:59] ---**
* my Quick Draw is specialized*
* against enemies attacking head-on.*
**[03:02] ---**
* It's the fastest technique of the*
* New Shadow School, wrapping my blade*
**[03:05] ---**
* in cursed energy while it's in*
* the sheath to accelerate it.*
**[03:08] ---**
*But don't think this will settle the match.*
**[03:10] ---**
* Focus my full strength*
* on creating an opening first.*
**[03:12] Maki**
*Iaijutsu, huh?*
**[03:14] Maki**
*Looks like she has some trick, too.*
**[03:17] Maki**
*But there's a difference in our reach.*
**[03:18] Maki**
* Rather than hit me, she likely wants to knock*
* away my cursed tool and create an opening.*
**[03:23] Maki**
In which case...
**[03:26] Miwa**
*She broke it?!*
**[03:27] Miwa**
* She's throwing away her*
* reach advantage now?!*
**[03:31] Miwa**
*She threw it?!*
**[03:33] Miwa**
*A hidden weapon?!*
**[03:34] Miwa**
*Her intuition's sharp!*
**[03:35] Miwa**
*She's trying to close the gap with a decoy!*
**[03:41] Miwa**
*My legs moved!*
**[03:43] Miwa**
* But that's fine. I'll pull back and*
* draw her in just close enough, then—*
**[03:50] Miwa**
*Aikidou?! What a clever woman!*
**[03:53] Miwa**
Huh?
**[03:55] Maki**
Nice sword you've got here.
**[03:58] Miwa**
Sword-stealing?
**[04:00] Miwa**
Give it back?
**[04:07] Mei Mei**
What an interesting girl.
**[04:09] Mei Mei**
You should promote her
to second-grade already.
**[04:12] Gojo**
I feel the same way,
**[04:15] Gojo**
but the Zen'in clan keeps getting in the way.
**[04:17] Gojo**
They should just change their
position and accept her already.
**[04:22] Mei Mei**
I just can't understand such
restraints, aside from money.
**[04:26] Gojo**
I see you're just as miserly as ever.
**[04:28] Gojo**
More importantly, the footage showing
the area around Yuji keeps cutting out a lot.
**[04:32] Mei Mei**
Animals are fickle.
**[04:34] Mei Mei**
Sharing my senses with them is tiring, too.
**[04:37] Gojo**
Huh? Is that true?
**[04:39] Gojo**
Let's be blunt. Which side
are you on, Mei-san?
**[04:42] Mei Mei**
Which side?
**[04:43] Mei Mei**
I'm on money's side.
**[04:45] Mei Mei**
There's no value to anything
that can't be traded for money.
**[04:48] Mei Mei**
You can't make money out of it, after all.
**[04:51] Gojo**
Just how much have you saved up?
**[04:55] Gojo**
*I don't know what he's planning,*
**[04:58] Gojo**
* but it won't be that easy to*
* deal with Yuji anymore.*
**[05:03] Gojo**
Oh, they're moving.
**[05:07] Ijichi**
All the cursed spirits released
into the area have charms on them,
**[05:12] Ijichi**
and when the cursed spirit disappears,
***SIGN*** Curse
**[05:15] Ijichi**
the corresponding charm here, in the viewing
area, is extinguished simultaneously.
**[05:20] Ijichi**
Each charm is extinguished
differently according to
**[05:22] Ijichi**
the cursed energy registered beforehand.
***SIGN*** Tokyo
**[05:25] Ijichi**
When the Tokyo school
exorcises one, they burn red.
***SIGN*** Kyoto
**[05:28] Ijichi**
When the Kyoto school
exorcises one, they burn blue.
**[05:32] Ijichi**
Since Maki-san is in the match, any extinguished
by unregistered responses burn red, as well.
***SIGN*** Tokyo
**[05:38] Gojo**
One to one, huh?
**[05:40] Gojo**
No one's paying enough attention to the game.
**[05:43] Utahime**
Why can't they just get along?
**[05:46] Gojo**
They must take after you, Utahime.
**[05:48] Utahime**
You're the only one I have an issue with!
**[05:49] Ijichi**
By the way, Panda-kun's
the one who exorcised it.
**[05:53] Panda**
Lucky!
**[05:54] Kugisaki**
Get down here, you damn witch!
**[05:58] Momo**
I've come down a few times already.
**[06:01] Momo**
Hurry up and try to catch me, first-year!
**[06:07] Kugisaki**
* Her cursed energy wind*
* is strong enough to lift me!*
**[06:09] Kugisaki**
* It hurts like hell when pebbles*
* and branches get caught in it, too!*
**[06:11] Kugisaki**
*If I drop my guard, it'll gouge my flesh!*
**[06:22] Kugisaki**
How dare you hurt my precious face?
**[06:25] Momo**
A scar on the face is a
badge of honor for a man.
**[06:29] Momo**
Though it's only a flaw on a woman.
**[06:32] Kugisaki**
Huh?
**[06:33] Momo**
You think being a jujutsu sorcerer
is all about strength, don't you?
**[06:36] Kugisaki**
And it actually is.
**[06:38] Momo**
That's only for men.
**[06:41] Kugisaki**
Huh?
**[06:42] Momo**
Even if they are strong, women have to
be cute, or they'll be undervalued.
**[06:47] Momo**
Of course, even if they're cute, they'll still
be undervalued if they're not also strong.
**[06:52] Momo**
Do you get it?
**[06:53] Momo**
They don't demand strength
from female jujutsu sorcerers.
**[06:57] Momo**
They demand perfection!
**[07:00] Momo**
And on top of that,
**[07:01] Momo**
Mai-chan is also fighting against
even more outrageous demands.
**[07:06] Kugisaki**
I get that you're a pain in the ass!
**[07:16] Momo**
* She's only a first-year, and she's*
* already used to fighting?*
**[07:21] Momo**
* She's still going strong,*
* no matter how often I blast her.*
**[07:25] Kugisaki**
I'm used to getting knocked around.
**[07:31] Momo**
* If I up my output any further,*
* I might kill her.*
**[07:34] Kugisaki**
*No, that's just an excuse.*
**[07:37] Kugisaki**
*The main reason I can't attack her*
**[07:39] Kugisaki**
*is Inumaki-kun.*
**[07:42] (Flashback) Kamo**
Cursed speech uses the power of words.
**[07:44] (Flashback) Kamo**
It imbues cursed energy into sound,
**[07:46] (Flashback) Kamo**
so you just have to protect your brain
and your ears with cursed energy.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Kamo**
Cursed speech is a technique specialized
for use against cursed spirits.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Kamo**
Like I said before, it's nothing for a sorcerer
to be afraid of if you know it's coming.
**[08:00] Momo**
* Conversely, if you don't know whether or not*
* it's coming, you're constantly distracted.*
**[08:05] Momo**
* I'm not used to protecting the inside*
* of my head in the first place...*
**[08:10] Momo**
*He's such a nuisance whether he's here or not!*
**[08:13] Kugisaki**
All done with your lecture?!
**[08:16] Momo**
Perfection is easy compared
to what's demanded of Mai-chan!
**[08:22] Momo**
She's from the Zen'in clan, one of the three major clans of elite jujutsu sorcerers.
**[08:27] Momo**
Perfection is expected
as a matter of course there.
**[08:30] Momo**
"Inherit the Zen'in clan's
hereditary technique."
**[08:34] Momo**
Any who don't meet that demand start their sorcerer lives as failures.
**[08:38] Momo**
Among those, women aren't even
allowed to stand at the starting line.
**[08:44] Momo**
Without the Zen'in clan lineage,
they're not considered jujutsu sorcerers.
**[08:47] Momo**
And if they're not jujutsu sorcerers,
they're not considered people.
**[08:51] Momo**
She's lived her entire life with such scorn
in a family without a shred of affection.
**[08:57] Momo**
Can you imagine how much
Mai-chan and others suffered
**[09:02] ---**
just to obtain what we
enjoy as a matter of course?
**[09:07] Momo**
Why don't you try thinking that
over with that brain of yours
**[09:11] Momo**
that confuses curses for friends?
**[09:15] Kugisaki**
Shut up.
**[09:17] Kugisaki**
You think misfortune is
a free pass to do anything?
**[09:21] Kugisaki**
What, then?
**[09:22] Kugisaki**
You're satisfied with those who are blessed
getting trash-talked behind their backs?
**[09:26] Kugisaki**
That's how Saori-chan...
**[09:30] Kugisaki**
I can't stand her,
regardless of her upbringing,
**[09:35] Kugisaki**
and I love Maki-san, who
endured the same upbringing.
**[09:39] Kugisaki**
Have you all even bothered to
think about what kind of person
**[09:44] Kugisaki**
the idiot you're trying to curse is?
**[09:48] Kugisaki**
What makes us obligated to meet such
perfection or such absurd demands?
**[09:52] Kugisaki**
Is your entire life just a job?!
**[09:55] ---**
*Straw Doll Technique: Hairpin!*
**[10:04] Momo**
* This is why she kept shooting those*
* nails that didn't land any hits?!*
**[10:09] Momo**
Tsk!
**[10:25] Momo**
You might have brought me down,
but you still won't reach me!
**[10:30] Kugisaki**
No, I reached you.
**[10:33] Kugisaki**
This is plenty!
**[10:36] Momo**
*My broom's bristle?*
**[10:37] Momo**
*She grazed it just now?*
**[10:40] Kugisaki**
I don't give a damn about
"men" this and "women" that!
**[10:43] Kugisaki**
You can keep that shit to yourselves!
**[10:46] Kugisaki**
I love myself when I'm pretty
and all dressed up!
**[10:49] Kugisaki**
And I love myself when I'm being strong!
**[10:53] Kugisaki**
I am...
**[10:56] Kugisaki**
Kugisaki Nobara!
**[11:01] Momo**
*I can't control my broom!*
**[11:03] Kugisaki**
* If I hit her with my hammer,*
* I might kill her.*
**[11:08] Kugisaki**
*So...*
**[11:11] Momo**
*A squeaky hammer?!*
**[11:21] Kugisaki**
One more time!
**[11:31] Mai**
Just barely within effective range.
**[11:34] Mai**
I'm so glad it hit.
***SIGN*** JUJUTSU KAISEN
***SIGN*** JUJUTSU KAISEN
**[11:48] Mai**
Hello? Momo?
**[11:51] Mai**
Don't worry, it was a rubber bullet.
**[11:54] Mai**
More importantly, that light
was Ultimate Cannon, right?
**[11:58] Mai**
But I can't get in touch with Mechamaru.
**[12:01] Mai**
* If he was cornered enough to use such*
* a powerful technique, and now this,*
**[12:04] Mai**
*he most likely lost.*
**[12:05] Mai**
*Panda will likely be returning.*
**[12:08] Mai**
* You should leave that spot and*
* support everyone from the air.*
**[12:11] Mai**
*We're all in trouble without you.*
**[12:14] Momo**
Yeah.
**[12:15] Momo**
*Mai-chan, I...*
**[12:19] Mai**
It's all right, Momo. I know.
**[12:22] Momo**
*Yeah.*
**[12:23] Maki**
What, not going to call your friends?
**[12:28] Maki**
I don't mind going two-on-one.
**[12:31] Mai**
There are many ways to enjoy this, right?
**[12:36] Mai**
I could have everyone beat you together,
**[12:38] Mai**
but I'd like to enjoy you...
**[12:41] Mai**
by myself.
**[12:43] Maki**
Call me "Onee-chan," little sister.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
What do you think of Maki-san?
**[12:50] (Flashback) Yuji**
She'll be mad no matter how I answer!
**[12:54] (Flashback) Yuji**
I-I think she's a wonderful woman.
**[12:57] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
Huh? I'm talking about as a sorcerer.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Yuji**
Oh, that? Good...
**[13:04] (Flashback) Yuji**
Honestly, I still don't know
that much about jujutsu,
**[13:09] (Flashback) Yuji**
but she's really strong in a fight.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Yuji**
Maybe it's her balance? The way
she walks is scary on its own.
**[13:15] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
Maki-san's a fourth-grade.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Yuji**
Huh? Seriously?
**[13:19] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
Her family's an annoying clan of sorcerers,
**[13:23] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
so after she kind of
emancipated herself and left,
**[13:25] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
they've been interfering with her promotion.
**[13:28] (Flashback) Yuji**
I thought families of jujutsu sorcerers
welcomed powerful sorcerers.
**[13:32] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
They won't acknowledge what
they've already rejected,
**[13:36] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
because they're idiots.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Panda**
But if she performs well
at the exchange event
**[13:40] (Flashback) Panda**
and her name gets spread around,
**[13:43] (Flashback) Panda**
it'll be harder for them to harass her like that.
**[13:46] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
So let's start by winning the group battle!
**[13:50] (Flashback) Kugisaki**
Fight like you're going to die again!
**[13:52] (Flashback) Yuji**
Sure.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Maki**
I can hear you.
**[13:57] (Flashback) Maki**
Jeez.
**[13:59] Maki**
*I shouldn't let myself get distracted.*
**[14:03] Mai**
What are you smiling about?!
**[14:14] Mai**
So what if she hides out of sight?
**[14:17] Mai**
Is she an idiot, trying
to gain distance from me?
**[14:22] Mai**
Tsk!
**[14:22] Mai**
*From below?!*
**[14:28] Mai**
*I already knew.*
**[14:29] Mai**
*Maki has a talent I don't.*
**[14:34] (Flashback) Voice A**
Have you heard about Ougi's daughters?
**[14:37] (Flashback) Voice A**
One can't even see curses,
let alone use techniques.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Voice B**
Twins are a sign of ill fortune.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Voice C**
This might actually be a good thing.
**[14:46] (Flashback) Voice C**
I couldn't bear to see
an eldest son as a servant.
**[14:54] (Flashback) Maki**
Mai.
**[14:56] (Flashback) Maki**
What's the matter? Hurry up.
**[15:01] (Flashback) Mai**
No.
**[15:02] (Flashback) Maki**
What is it?
**[15:04] (Flashback) Maki**
We'll get in trouble if we're late again.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Mai**
They're there.
**[15:12] (Flashback) Maki**
Again?
**[15:15] (Flashback) Maki**
All right, fine.
**[15:18] (Flashback) Spirit**
Are you ho... ho...
**[15:20] (Flashback) Maki**
Come on.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Maki**
Close your eyes.
**[15:22] (Flashback) Mai**
Huh?
**[15:28] (Flashback) Maki**
If you can't see them,
it's the same as if they're not there.
**[15:33] Mai**
*You've always acted like you had no fear*
**[15:37] Mai**
*and plowed forward toward your future.*
**[15:40] Mai**
*I hated you.*
**[15:44] (Flashback) Naobito**
You're leaving the clan, Maki?
**[15:47] (Flashback) Maki**
You have plenty of servants, right?
**[15:49] (Flashback) Maki**
Don't worry, though. I'll come
back someday, Clan Leader.
**[15:56] (Flashback) Naobito**
Why would you return?
**[15:58] (Flashback) Maki**
Because I'm going to be
the head of the Zen'in clan!
**[16:05] (Flashback) Naobito**
Then I'll put you through
ordeals befitting that!
**[16:11] (Flashback) Maki**
Do as you please.
**[16:13] (Flashback) Naobito**
And Mai, as well.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Maki**
She has nothing to do with this.
**[16:29] (Flashback) Mai**
Liar.
**[16:33] Mai**
*I hate you!*
**[17:22] Maki**
*You fired six shots!*
**[17:24] Maki**
*I won't let you reload!*
**[17:25] Mai**
*I hate you!*
**[17:31] Mai**
*Which is why*
**[17:35] Mai**
*I never told you about my first love*
**[17:39] Mai**
*or my technique!*
**[17:44] Utahime**
* "Construction" uses one's cursed energy*
* to create matter from nothing.*
**[17:50] Utahime**
*It differs from the manifestation*
**[17:52] Utahime**
* of an innate domain within the*
* barrier of a domain expansion.*
**[17:56] Utahime**
* The matter produced by Construction doesn't*
* disappear when the cursed technique ends.*
**[18:02] Utahime**
* Because of that, it consumes*
* a lot of cursed energy*
**[18:05] Utahime**
*and puts a heavy strain on the body.*
**[18:08] Utahime**
*Creating one bullet a day is Mai's maximum.*
**[18:13] Utahime**
* That's why she uses a revolver to create*
* an obvious bluff of her bullet count.*
**[18:19] Mai**
*I win.*
**[18:28] Mai**
*She caught the bullet?*
**[18:32] ---**
Ow...
**[18:34] Maki**
I shouldn't touch that with my bare hands.
**[18:42] Mai**
*Maki has a talent I don't.*
**[18:46] Mai**
*She's similar to Mechamaru,*
**[18:48] Mai**
* with a Heavenly Pact that's*
* somewhat the opposite.*
**[18:51] Mai**
* Normally, she would have been*
* born with a cursed technique.*
**[18:55] Mai**
*But in exchange for that,*
**[18:56] Mai**
* she was granted superhuman*
* physical abilities.*
**[19:00] Mai**
*The Zen'in clan wouldn't acknowledge it.*
**[19:04] Mai**
*That talent I lacked.*
**[19:09] Maki**
I think we can call this settled?
**[19:15] Mai**
Why did you leave the clan?
**[19:18] Maki**
Huh? Do I have to spell it out?
**[19:21] Maki**
You joined Jujutsu High
yourself, didn't you?
**[19:23] Mai**
I...
**[19:24] Mai**
never wanted to be a jujutsu sorcerer!
**[19:28] Mai**
It's your fault!
**[19:30] Mai**
Because you tried so hard to be one,
**[19:31] Mai**
I was forced to put forth effort, too!
**[19:34] Mai**
I'm so sick of trying so hard,
facing pain and scary things!
**[19:39] Mai**
What was so bad about being
ordered around back home?!
**[19:42] Mai**
We could have just done a few
chores and lived a normal life!
**[19:49] Mai**
Why wouldn't you stay at
the bottom with me?
**[20:01] Maki**
Because I would have
hated myself if I did that.
**[20:06] Maki**
That's the only reason.
**[20:09] Maki**
Sorry.
**[20:15] (Flashback) Mai**
Onee-chan, don't let go!
**[20:18] (Flashback) Maki**
I won't let go.
**[20:20] (Flashback) Mai**
Never?
**[20:21] (Flashback) Maki**
Jeez, give it a rest.
**[20:23] (Flashback) Mai**
Never leave me behind.
**[20:26] (Flashback) Maki**
Of course I won't.
**[20:28] (Flashback) Maki**
We're sisters.
**[20:36] Mai**
You liar.
**[20:38] Mai**
I hate you.
