[00:37] Curse
    Got you!
[00:48] Yuji
    What was that blood he spat out?
[00:51] Yuji
    Poison?
[00:53] Curse
    What's this?
[00:55] Curse
    You're strong.
[00:57] Curse
    That's no fun.
[01:02] Kugisaki
    Straw Doll Technique:
[01:04] Kugisaki
    Resonance!
[01:25] Fushiguro
    How many of them are there?
[01:27] Kugisaki
    We should just keep going
    like it's whack-a-mole, huh?
[01:30] Fushiguro
    Yeah.
[01:31] Fushiguro
    Keep going.
[01:32] Fushiguro
    Keep exorcising them for me.
[01:34] Fushiguro
    We'll crush every last one of them.
[01:37] Fushiguro
    It likely won't retaliate.
[01:40] Kugisaki
    You mean its main body
    doesn't have much offense
[01:43] ---
    since its technique covers a
    wide area, even limited as it is?
[01:47] Fushiguro
    I'm only saying it's likely.
[01:50] Fushiguro
    All the things we were worried about—
    its technique's range,
[01:52] Fushiguro
    the number of victims, the barrier—
[01:54] Fushiguro
    All of those are subtracting
    from its main body.
[01:58] Fushiguro
    We're lucky.
[02:00] Fushiguro
    We'll be able to exorcise it quickly, then.
[02:04] Fushiguro
    Which means... the real
    problem comes afterward.
[02:16] Fushiguro
    Kugisaki!
[02:17] Kugisaki
    I'll be fine.
[02:20] Kugisaki
    You just whack the mole.
[02:25] Fushiguro
    Damn it!
[02:26] Fushiguro
    She gets sucked away so often!
[02:29] Fushiguro
    But what was that just now?
[02:32] Fushiguro
    The mole?
[02:34] Fushiguro
    That earlier one?
[02:36] Fushiguro
    It's neither!
[02:39] Yuji
    Kugisaki?
[02:40] Curse
    Oh, hey, it's my older brother!
[02:44] Curse
    Me, too!
[02:50] Yuji
    It fled?!
[02:52] Yuji
    Should I let it go?
[02:53] Fushiguro
    Chase after it!
[02:54] Fushiguro
    Kugisaki and that thing both
    went outside the barrier!
[02:59] Fushiguro
    She might be battling against something
    more troublesome than we expected!
[03:02] Fushiguro
    In contrast, things are far
    easier here than anticipated!
[03:05] Fushiguro
    I can handle this by myself!
[03:07] Fushiguro
    Prioritize Kugisaki! Go after it!
[03:10] Yuji
    If things get bad in here,
[03:12] Yuji
    then you come out, too.
[03:23] Kugisaki
    Why, you...
[03:24] Kugisaki
    Don't touch me!
[03:31] Eso
    You're a woman?
[03:34] Eso
    Well, pardon me.
[03:38] Eso
    We brothers were tasked with an errand.
[03:44] Eso
    But killing jujutsu sorcerers
    isn't part of that.
[03:49] Eso
    If you withdraw, we'll let you escape,
[03:54] Eso
    young lady.
[03:56] Kugisaki
    An errand?
[03:57] Eso
    Hm? I presumed you were
    on the same errand.
[04:01] Kugisaki
    A cursed spirit? A curse user?
[04:03] Kugisaki
    Which is he?
[04:05] Kugisaki
    And what is that smell?
[04:21] Fushiguro
    Last one!
[04:25] Fushiguro
    Your sneak attack's too simple.
[04:32] Fushiguro
    I told you, it's too simple.
[04:41] Fushiguro
    Did I exorcise them all?
[04:44] Fushiguro
    That takes care of Tsumiki for now.
[04:49] Fushiguro
    Now to...
[04:59] Fushiguro
    One survived?
[05:01] Fushiguro
    That wasn't its main body just now?
[05:04] Fushiguro
    The barrier hasn't collapsed, either.
[05:06] Fushiguro
    What?
[05:11] Fushiguro
    I shouldn't try too hard to find logic
    in a cursed spirit's behavioral patterns,
[05:17] Fushiguro
    but that fact had been
    nagging me this whole time.
[05:20] Fushiguro
    Why did it just start killing
    humans it had marked now?
[05:28] Fushiguro
    The first one was killed in June.
[05:32] Fushiguro
    And in June...
[05:38] Eso
    Our objective here...
[05:41] Eso
    is to retrieve Sukuna's finger.

[07:19] Fushiguro
    Some have a presence
    that's too overwhelming.
[07:22] Fushiguro
    Some keep very quiet.
[07:24] Fushiguro
    Some have already been
    absorbed by a cursed spirit.
[07:28] Fushiguro
    This is resonance.
[07:31] Fushiguro
    Sukuna's finger kept its power repressed
[07:33] Fushiguro
    within the cursed spirit
    that had absorbed it,
[07:36] Fushiguro
    but back in June,
[07:38] Fushiguro
    when Sukuna manifested in Itadori,
    it released its cursed energy.
[07:43] Fushiguro
    It looks the same
[07:46] Fushiguro
    as the one from the juvenile detention center,
    but it's probably several degrees...
[07:56] Fushiguro
    stronger!
[08:07] Fushiguro
    Nue!
[08:14] (Flashback) Gojo
    Okay, I win again.
[08:18] (Flashback) Gojo
    This is unusual.
[08:20] (Flashback) Gojo
    You rarely ask me to train you, Megumi.
[08:23] (Flashback) Gojo
    Are you in a rush after Yuji surpassed you?
[08:26] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    Well, beggars can't be choosers.
[08:30] (Flashback) Gojo
    It bothers you that much to rely on me?
[08:34] (Flashback) Gojo
    Megumi, listen.
[08:35] (Flashback) Gojo
    I think you have just as much ability
    and potential as Yuji does.
[08:40] (Flashback) Gojo
    The problem is just your mindset.
[08:44] (Flashback) Gojo
    Megumi,
[08:45] (Flashback) Gojo
    you don't know how to
    bring out your best, do you?
[08:48] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    Huh?
[08:50] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    Are you saying I haven't
    been giving it my best?
[08:53] (Flashback) Gojo
    I'm not saying you haven't.
    I'm saying you can't.
[08:56] (Flashback) Gojo
    For example, in the baseball game the other day...
[08:59] (Flashback) Gojo
    Why did you go for a sacrifice bunt?
[09:06] (Flashback) Gojo
    Did you want Nobara to advance the bases,
[09:07] (Flashback) ---
    even if it meant you'd be out?
[09:10] (Flashback) Gojo
    That's a splendid attitude,
[09:12] (Flashback) Gojo
    but Yuji and I would
    always go for a home run.
[09:19] (Flashback) Gojo
    I'm not saying a bunt is bad.
[09:21] (Flashback) Gojo
    Baseball is a team sport,
[09:23] (Flashback) Gojo
    and everyone has their role to play.
[09:25] (Flashback) Gojo
    But jujutsu sorcery is an individual sport.
[09:29] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    Coordinating with other sorcerers
    is important, isn't it?
[09:32] (Flashback) Gojo
    Sure.
[09:34] (Flashback) Gojo
    But no matter how many
    allies you have around you,
[09:37] (Flashback) Gojo
    when you die, you'll be alone.
[09:41] (Flashback) Gojo
    You can only piece together
    undervalued data on yourself and others.
[09:46] (Flashback) Gojo
    You can't imagine a stronger
    future version of yourself.
[09:50] (Flashback) Gojo
    Maybe that's because of your trump card?
[09:53] (Flashback) Gojo
    You believe that in the worst case,
[09:55] (Flashback) Gojo
    you can resolve everything
    at the cost of your life.
[09:59] (Flashback) Gojo
    But at that point, forget about me.
[10:01] (Flashback) Gojo
    You'll never even measure up to Nanami.
[10:03] (Flashback) Gojo
    Dying to win and risking death to win...
[10:10] (Flashback) Gojo
    are completely different, Megumi.
[10:15] (Flashback) Gojo
    Give it your best.
[10:17] (Flashback) Gojo
    Be greedier.
[10:28] Fushiguro
    How many seconds was I unconscious?
[10:31] Fushiguro
    My Demon Dog's destroyed...
[10:33] Fushiguro
    no, the technique was released.
[10:39] Fushiguro
    This is it for me.
[10:45] Fushiguro
    Sacred treasure, swing...
[10:55] (Flashback) Sukuna
    What a waste of talent.
[11:02] Fushiguro
    Screw it!
[11:04] Gojo
    A jujutsu sorcerer's growth curve
[11:07] Gojo
    isn't necessarily a gentle slope.
[11:11] (Flashback) Sukuna
    Back then, why did you run?
[11:16] Fushiguro
    Spit out the entire depths of my shadow...
[11:20] Fushiguro
    Worry about a specific structure later,
[11:24] Fushiguro
    and just push it out as soon
    as I collect the cursed energy.
[11:28] Fushiguro
    Imagine a future version of myself
    who's freely surpassed my limits!
[11:34] Fushiguro
    I'll do it!
[11:35] Gojo
    With a strong foundation,
[11:37] Gojo
    and a little bit of sense and imagination,
[11:41] Gojo
    it just takes the slightest trigger
    to change a person.

    Domain Expansion:
[11:52] Fushiguro
    Chimera Shadow Garden!
[11:58] Fushiguro
    It's incomplete!
[12:00] Fushiguro
    It's ugly work at best.
[12:02] Fushiguro
    But for now, that's fine!
[12:21] Fushiguro
    Broaden it...
[12:25] Fushiguro
    more freely!
[12:29] Fushiguro
    The interpretation
[12:34] Fushiguro
    of the technique!
[12:59] Fushiguro
    Demon Dog Totality's claws
    were able to injure that thing.
[13:08] Fushiguro
    They'd have no trouble piercing through
    you when you're caught off-guard.
[13:23] Fushiguro
    I'm tired.
[13:28] Fushiguro
    Now, where are those guys?
[13:34] Sukuna
    Good!
[13:36] Sukuna
    That's good!
SIGN    JUJUTSU KAISEN
SIGN    JUJUTSU KAISEN
[14:04] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    There's one fundamental rule
    for interacting with others.
[14:08] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    Do you know what that is?
[14:10] (Flashback) Boy
    I don't.
[14:12] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    It's "I won't kill you,
[14:15] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    so please don't kill me, either."
[14:19] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    You can substitute "kill"
    for anything you please.
[14:21] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    The point is drawing a line where you agree
    not to infringe on the other person.
[14:25] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    In order for both people to exist together,
[14:28] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    they need that rule.
[14:30] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    Breaking that rule, swaggering about,
[14:31] (Flashback) ---
    and having others trying not to anger you
[14:35] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    must have felt real pleasant.
[14:39] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    Next time you do it in
    front of me, I'll kill you.
[14:42] (Flashback) Boy
    What did we ever do to you?
[14:45] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    Figure it out yourself,
[14:47] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    or go die.
[14:48] (Flashback) Teacher
    Hey!
[14:51] (Flashback) Aida
    T-T-T-T-Today's the day I tell
    off Ikezawa and his buddies!
[14:54] (Flashback) Aida
    I'm not their gofer anymore!
[14:57] (Flashback) Friend A
    You can do it, Aida-shi!
[14:58] (Flashback) Friend B
    But I might become their next target,
[15:02] (Flashback) Friend B
    so don't try too hard, Aida-shi!
[15:04] (Flashback) Aida
    Hey, come on, fatty!
[15:06] (Flashback) Aida
    I'm changing the line!
[15:07] (Flashback) Aida
    I'll tell them this fatty is my
    replacement starting today!
[15:10] (Flashback) Boy
    You'd sell your friend out, Aida-shi?!
[15:12] (Flashback) Aida
    Shut up!
[15:14] (Flashback) Tsumiki
    Megumi.
[15:19] (Flashback) Friend A
    Huh?
[15:20] (Flashback) Friend A
    Isn't that Ikezawa and his
    buddies piled up over there?
[15:23] (Flashback) Tsumiki
    You said you wouldn't fight anymore.
[15:27] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    Don't act like you're my guardian.
[15:30] Fushiguro
    I hate bad people.
[15:35] Fushiguro
    They act so damn superior when
    their empathy and imagination
[15:38] Fushiguro
    are as empty as a vacant lot.
[15:42] Fushiguro
    I can't deal with good people.
[15:44] Fushiguro
    They forgive those bad people.
[15:48] Fushiguro
    Then they view the act of
    forgiveness as a noble thing.
[15:53] Fushiguro
    Makes me want to vomit.
[15:56] Fushiguro
    Tsumiki's a model example of a good person.
[16:00] (Flashback) Fushiguro
    You disgust me.
[16:05] (Flashback) Tsumiki
    Oh, sorry.
[16:07] (Flashback) Tsumiki
    I didn't think it'd spill out.
[16:10] Fushiguro
    When I was in first grade,
[16:13] Fushiguro
    my father and Tsumiki's mother,
[16:16] Fushiguro
    one parent each, hooked up...
[16:19] Fushiguro
    and then vanished without a trace.
[16:22] Fushiguro
    A suspicious white-haired man told us...
[16:25] (Flashback) Gojo
    You know, your dad...
[16:27] (Flashback) Gojo
    He's from the Zen'in Clan,
    a big clan among jujutsu sorcerers,
[16:31] (Flashback) Gojo
    but they're such good-for-nothings,
    it freaks even me out.
[16:33] (Flashback) Gojo
    Your father left the clan to have you.
[16:37] (Flashback) Gojo
    Megumi-kun,
[16:39] (Flashback) Gojo
    your father was saving you as the ultimate
    card to use against the Zen'in clan.
[16:45] (Flashback) Gojo
    Pisses you off, doesn't it?
[16:47] Fushiguro
    That solved the mystery of how
    they got the funds to disappear.
[16:51] Fushiguro
    Apparently, I had been sold
    to that Zen'in clan.
[16:54] Fushiguro
    Yeah, it pisses me off.
[16:56] Fushiguro
    Especially your lack of tact about it.
[17:00] Fushiguro
    Plus, that irritating man stopped
    my sale to the Zen'in clan,
[17:04] Fushiguro
    and used the promise that I would work
    as a jujutsu sorcerer as collateral
[17:08] Fushiguro
    to get financial aid from
    Jujutsu High to support us both.
[17:15] Fushiguro
    What's this jujutsu sorcerer crap, anyway?
[17:17] Fushiguro
    It's bullshit.
[17:18] Fushiguro
    Who the hell would I ever save?
[17:21] (Flashback) Girl
    Hey, Tsumiki!
[17:22] (Flashback) Girl
    What are you doing?
[17:24] (Flashback) Girl
    Megumi-kun, ciao!
[17:26] (Flashback) Tsumiki
    Nothing.
[17:27] (Flashback) Girl
    Hey, hold on.
[17:28] (Flashback) Girl
    So did you give any thought
    to the test of courage?
[17:32] (Flashback) Tsumiki
    I don't want to go, but I'll go
    because I'm worried about you.
[17:35] Fushiguro
    Shortly after I started ninth grade,
[17:37] Fushiguro
    Tsumiki was cursed.
[17:40] Fushiguro
    The identity was unknown.
    The origin was unknown.
[17:43] Fushiguro
    But apparently there were several
    victims of the same curse nationwide.
[17:47] Fushiguro
    All I found out was that
    nobody knew anything,
[17:50] Fushiguro
    and Tsumiki was left bedridden.
[17:53] (Flashback) Tsumiki
    If I have the time to curse someone,
[17:56] (Flashback) ---
    I'd rather spend it thinking
    about those precious to me.
[17:59] Fushiguro
    She always smiled and spouted pretty ideals.
[18:02] (Flashback) Tsumiki
    Not forgiving people isn't a bad thing.
[18:05] (Flashback) Tsumiki
    That's just part of your kindness, isn't it?
[18:08] Fushiguro
    She even accepted my disposition.
[18:12] Fushiguro
    Yet Tsumiki would get genuinely
    angry whenever I hurt someone, too.
[18:18] Fushiguro
    That irritated me because
[18:20] Fushiguro
    I thought it was hypocritical in light
    of her leave-others-be policy,
[18:24] Fushiguro
    but now I realize I had the wrong idea.
[18:29] Fushiguro
    Just as I choose who I save,
[18:32] Fushiguro
    she was choosing me to worry about.
[18:36] Fushiguro
    I'm sorry.
[18:37] Fushiguro
    I was just a kid.
[18:39] Fushiguro
    I'll apologize.
[18:42] Fushiguro
    So wake up already, stupid sister.
[18:46] Fushiguro
    Damn, my head hurts...
[18:51] Fushiguro
    This Yasohachi Bridge curse
    was just overlapping the other one.
[18:55] Fushiguro
    I doubt the curse that put Tsumiki
    into a coma was undone.
[19:01] Fushiguro
    Now, how do I break the news
    about the finger... to... Itadori...

    A huge presence suddenly appeared.

    Did Sukuna's finger leave the barrier?

    If a sorcerer exorcised the finger's host,
[19:25] Eso
    they're quite good.

    But even if the finger's...
[19:29] Kugisaki
    Even if the special-grade

    they wouldn't come out unscathed.
[19:35] Kugisaki
    I hope they're okay.
[19:39] Eso
    I misspoke.

    Please forget what I just said.

    Hold on!

    He's going after the finger!

    You think you can mock me
    by running like that
[19:51] Kugisaki
    and still get away from me?
[19:55] Eso
    I'm a bit insecure about my back, you see.
[19:58] Eso
    This is your warning.

    Sorry, brother!
