[00:05] Geto
    Things were busy that summer.
[00:08] Geto
    The frequent disasters of the
    past year probably played a role,
[00:13] Geto
    but cursed spirits were
    springing up like maggots.
[00:45] Geto
    Exorcise, absorb.
[00:47] Geto
    Over and over.
[00:54] Geto
    Exorcise.
[00:55] Geto
    Absorb.
[00:57] Geto
    No one else understands
[00:59] Geto
    what cursed spirits taste like.
[01:03] Geto
    It's like swallowing a dirty rag that's
    been used to clean up shit and vomit.
[01:08] Geto
    Exorcise.
[01:10] Geto
    Absorb.
[01:12] Geto
    "What I witnessed isn't uncommon."
[01:15] Geto
    "I understood the ugliness of the masses,
[01:18] Geto
    and still chose to be a
    jujutsu sorcerer who saves others."
[01:26] Geto
    That's what I've been telling
    myself ever since that day.
[01:30] Geto
    Ever since that day.
[01:34] Utahime
    Apparently, this used to be
    the home of the president
[01:39] Utahime
    of a company managing a local
    chain of barbecue restaurants.
[01:43] Utahime
    However, in July of last year,
[01:46] Utahime
    the mad cow disease breakout dealt
    a fatal blow to his restaurants,
[01:51] Utahime
    so he committed suicide with his family
    after they were buried under vast debt.
[01:55] Utahime
    From then on, local rumors claimed
    the president's home was haunted,
[01:59] Utahime
    so local school kids, college students
    from outside the prefecture,
[02:02] Utahime
    job-hoppers, and others would visit
    it as part of a test of courage,
[02:05] Utahime
    and subsequently go missing.
[02:09] Utahime
    Those rumors brought about more rumors,
[02:11] Utahime
    and the damage just continued to spread.
[02:14] Mei Mei
    Rumors do tend to spread rather
    quickly around haunted spots.
[02:19] Mei Mei
    They can spread at an unbelievable
    pace nowadays, thanks to the Internet.
[02:25] Mei Mei
    This all just means even more
    work for us jujutsu sorcerers.
[02:30] Utahime
    In addition to that, three grade school kids
    went missing on their way home from school.
[02:35] Utahime
    There's also a high chance
    the families, police, colleagues,
[02:39] Utahime
    and friends who trace the paths
    of those who disappeared
[02:43] Utahime
    will reach the mansion and
    become victims themselves.
[02:46] Utahime
    We have to sever the root of
    this issue as soon as possible.
[02:50] Mei Mei
    HQ sent us to investigate because
    they reached the same conclusion.
SIGN    Warning!
    Entering These Premises Is Forbidden!
    Many Have Gone Missing!
[02:55] Mei Mei
    They're even paying my fees,
    which aren't cheap.
[02:59] Utahime
    Did you overcharge them again?
[03:01] Mei Mei
    You make it sound so bad.
[03:03] Mei Mei
    Call it negotiation.
[03:06] Assistant Supervisor
    We're here.
[03:08] Mei Mei
    Let's go, then.
SIGN    JUJUTSU KAISEN
[03:16] Utahime
    Emerge from darkness, blacker than darkness.
[03:18] Utahime
    Purify that—
[03:20] Mei Mei
    There's no need for a veil.
[03:22] Utahime
    Huh?
[03:24] Mei Mei
    I don't sense the presence of any Curses.
[03:26] Mei Mei
    The cause is almost certainly
    inside the building.
[03:31] Mei Mei
    You can cast the veil later if we
    end up attacking it from outside.
SIGN    ...True.
[03:38] Utahime
    It's unlocked.
[03:40] Utahime
    Seems like something's blocking the door.
[03:45] Utahime
    What is all this?
[03:51] Utahime
    Mei-san.
[03:53] Mei Mei
    It's here.
[03:55] Mei Mei
    And it's all around us, too.
[04:03] Mei Mei
    Let's get going.
[04:05] Mei Mei
    I don't need that, but you do, right?
[04:08] Utahime
    Thank you.
[04:12] Utahime
    All right.
[04:25] Utahime
    I-Incredible.
[04:30] Utahime
    Oh, it still has electricity.
[04:33] Mei Mei
    For now, let's have a
    look inside the building.
[04:37] Mei Mei
    I'll take this floor,
[04:39] Mei Mei
    you take the second.
[04:40] Utahime
    Huh? All by myself?
[04:43] Mei Mei
    Is there a problem with that?
[04:44] Utahime
    N-No, i-it's fine.
[04:48] Mei Mei
    Off you go, then.
[04:53] Utahime
    Okay.
[05:37] Utahime
    This is the last one.
[06:27] Mei Mei
    You could be the next big Scream Queen.
[06:33] Utahime
    Jeez!
[06:34] Utahime
    Please don't startle me like that!
[06:37] Mei Mei
    You got startled all on your own.
[06:40] Utahime
    Are you done exploring the first floor?
[06:46] Mei Mei
    This is the first floor.
[06:49] Utahime
    Huh?
[06:51] Mei Mei
    I was walking down
    the first floor hallway.
[06:54] Utahime
    What? But...
[06:57] Utahime
    I know I entered a room
    at the end of the hallway...
[07:03] Mei Mei
    A box of candy.
[07:05] Mei Mei
    A bag of potato chips.
[07:08] Mei Mei
    Cans.
[07:09] Mei Mei
    A backpack.
[07:10] Mei Mei
    A sweatshirt.
[07:13] Mei Mei
    I've already seen this three times.
[07:16] Mei Mei
    And see these marks? I made
    them on my way through here.
[07:23] Mei Mei
    It would seem that we're already
    in the belly of the beast.
[07:28] Utahime
    Huh?
[07:35] Utahime
    For real?
[07:39] Utahime
    How long is this hallway?
[07:44] Mei Mei
    We've been moving for thirty minutes,
[07:46] Mei Mei
    so about four kilometers so far.
[07:49] Utahime
    It's not an innate domain, is it?
[07:53] Mei Mei
    It's not.
[07:55] Mei Mei
    Those are manifestations
    of the spirit's mindscape.
[07:58] Mei Mei
    Which means...
[08:00] Utahime
    This is a barrier.
[08:02] Mei Mei
    Correct.
[08:03] Mei Mei
    Most likely, the victims
    were trapped inside this
[08:07] Mei Mei
    and then killed by the cursed spirit.
[08:11] Mei Mei
    Though, considering the
    use of this technique,
[08:14] Mei Mei
    the cursed spirit itself should be weak.
[08:17] Mei Mei
    So if we can just escape this barrier...
[08:23] Mei Mei
    Now, quiz time.
[08:25] Mei Mei
    How would you break this, Utahime?
[08:33] Utahime
    This hallway is repeating itself.
[08:35] Utahime
    At first...
[08:41] Utahime
    I thought...
[08:43] Mei Mei
    I'm surprised you could touch them.
[08:45] Utahime
    ...it was shaped like a donut.
[08:48] Utahime
    But we passed by four of
    the marks you made, right?
[08:52] Utahime
    When I calculated how many
    paces apart they were, I got...
[08:55] Utahime
    122,
[08:57] Utahime
    203,
[08:58] Utahime
    157,
[08:59] Utahime
    and 270 paces.
[09:01] Utahime
    So the spacing between marks was random.
[09:05] Mei Mei
    I see.
[09:07] Utahime
    The interval between
    repetitions isn't standardized.
[09:11] Utahime
    Which means that, most likely...
[09:14] Utahime
    this barrier is patching spaces together.
[09:18] Utahime
    So if we both run down the hallway
    at top speed, then at some point...
[09:27] Utahime
    It'll break.
[09:30] Mei Mei
    Close. Ninety points.
[09:32] Utahime
    D'oh.
[09:33] Utahime
    What's the remaining ten?
[09:36] Mei Mei
    When we run, we do so in opposite
    directions at the same time.
[09:41] Utahime
    I get it!
[09:43] Utahime
    So my patching theory was correct,
[09:45] Utahime
    and if we quickly advance
    in different directions,
[09:47] Utahime
    that makes it harder for the cursed
    spirit to hold the barrier together.
[09:51] Utahime
    And once we have that opening,
    we might be able to get out.
[09:54] Mei Mei
    One hundred points.
[09:55] Utahime
    Then, with that settled...
[09:57] Utahime
    If this works, I'll be expecting a promotion.
[10:02] Mei Mei
    How much do you have in savings?
[10:04] Utahime
    What?
[10:06] Mei Mei
    Never mind. I'll think about it.
[10:08] Utahime
    Right!
[10:10] Utahime
    Okay... Ready, set...
[10:15] Utahime
    Go!
[10:21] Utahime
    We did it!
[10:23] Utahime
    Wait, wha—
[10:43] Gojo
    I'm here to save you,
[10:47] Gojo
    Utahime.

[13:34] Gojo
    They're rare, but they

[13:36] Gojo
    I thought it was odd,

[13:39] Mei Mei
    Seems like it was.
[13:42] Gojo
    Something the matter?
[13:44] Mei Mei
    No. Just realized that means

[14:24] Gojo
    Is a veil that necessary in the first place?
[14:29] Gojo
    It's not like it matters if
    normies see or not, right?
[14:32] Gojo
    They can't see cursed spirits
    or cursed techniques, anyway.
[14:38] Geto
    Of course it's not good for them to see.
[14:40] Geto
    The strongest deterrent
    against the outbreak
[14:42] Geto
    of a cursed spirit is the
    mental calm of the populace.
[14:45] Geto
    That's exactly why we have to conceal
[14:49] Geto
    the threats they can't even
    see as much as possible.
[14:52] Geto
    And that's not all—
[14:53] Gojo
    Yeah, yeah, I get it.

    Looking out for the weak
    is so exhausting, honestly.

[15:07] Geto
    That's how a society should be.
[15:10] Geto
    The weak help each other and
    discourage any who are too strong.
[15:13] Geto
    Listen, Satoru.
[15:15] Geto
    Jujutsu exists to protect
    non-jujutsu sorcerers.
[15:19] Gojo
    Is that your moral argument?
[15:21] Gojo
    I hate moral arguments.
[15:25] Geto
    What?
[15:26] Gojo
    Assigning reasons and
    responsibility to strength
[15:29] Gojo
    is what those who are weak do.
[15:42] Gojo
    Quit making yourself feel
    better by spouting bullshit.
[15:46] Gojo
    Blegh.
[15:48] Shoko
    Run for it.
[15:50] Geto
    Want to take this outside, Satoru?
[15:53] Gojo
    You feeling lonely?
[15:55] Gojo
    Go by yourself.
[15:59] Yaga
    How long are you going
    to keep fooling around?
[16:01] Yaga
    Where did Shoko go?
[16:03] Geto
    Who knows?
[16:04] Gojo
    Bathroom, probably.
[16:06] Yaga
    Whatever.
[16:07] Yaga
    This mission is being assigned to you two.
[16:11] Yaga
    What are those faces for?
[16:13] Both
    Nothing.
[16:15] Yaga
    Frankly, I think it's too much for you,
[16:18] Yaga
    but Tengen-sama asked for you specifically.
[16:22] Yaga
    Your mission has two goals.
[16:25] Yaga
    The Star Plasma Vessel
[16:27] Yaga
    is the one compatible with Tengen-sama.
[16:29] Yaga
    You are to escort that girl and erase her.
[16:33] Gojo
    Escort a brat and erase her?
[16:36] Yaga
    That's right.
[16:38] Gojo
    Have you finally gone senile?
[16:39] Geto
    It is spring.
[16:41] Geto
    He's probably got his head full
    with being the next principal.
[16:44] Geto
    Jokes aside, though—
[16:46] Yaga
    I'll be the one to decide
    if I let that off as a joke.
[16:47] Geto
    Is this about renewing
    Tengen-sama's technique?
[16:52] Gojo
    What's that?
[16:56] Gojo
    What?
[16:58] Yaga
    Tengen-sama possesses the
    cursed technique of Immortality,
[17:01] Yaga
    but it is not Eternal Youth.
[17:02] Yaga
    It wouldn't be an issue
    if all he did was get older,
[17:05] Yaga
    but after his body ages to a certain point,
[17:07] Yaga
    the cursed technique
    begins rewriting his body.
[17:12] Yaga
    Evolution.
[17:13] Yaga
    He'll cease to be human and become
    a higher form of existence.
[17:17] Gojo
    What's wrong with that?
[17:18] Gojo
    Sounds cool.
[17:20] Geto
    According to Tengen-sama,
[17:22] Geto
    those who reach that state
    of being have no will.
[17:26] Geto
    It means Tengen-sama would
    cease to be Tengen-sama.
SIGN    Tokyo Jujutsu High School
[17:29] Geto
    All the jujutsu schools,
[17:31] Geto
    the barriers that form the
    foundation of jujutsu society,
[17:33] Geto
    the many barrier techniques
    of the assistant supervisors...
[17:36] Geto
    They're all being strengthened by Tengen-sama.
[17:41] Geto
    Without the aid of his power,
[17:43] Geto
    we could hardly maintain security
    or clean up after missions.
[17:46] Geto
    In the worst-case scenario,
[17:48] Geto
    Tengen-sama could even become
    a threat to mankind.
[17:51] Geto
    That's why, every 500 years,
    he finds the Star Plasma Vessel—
[17:55] Geto
    someone who is compatible with him—
[17:58] Geto
    and assimilates them,
    overwriting the information of their body.
[18:00] Geto
    By renewing his body,
[18:02] Geto
    he resets his cursed
    technique back to the start
[18:05] Geto
    and avoids Evolution.
[18:07] Gojo
    I get it.
[18:08] Gojo
    It would be fine if he turned
    into MetalGreymon,
[18:10] Gojo
    but we can't have him
    becoming SkullGreymon.
[18:13] Gojo
    So we have him start over from Koromon.
[18:17] Geto
    What? Yeah, sure, that works.
[18:19] Yaga
    The Star Plasma Vessel's
    location has been leaked.
[18:24] Yaga
    Right now, there are two major
    groups after the young girl's life.
[18:28] Yaga
    One is the Curse User Group Q,
[18:31] Yaga
    which seeks to upend jujutsu society
    with Tengen-sama's rampage.
[18:36] Yaga
    The other is the Star Religious
    Group, also known as the
[18:40] Yaga
    "Time Vessel Association,"
    which worships Tengen-sama as a god.
[18:43] Yaga
    Tengen-sama will assimilate the
    Star Plasma Vessel two days from now.
[18:48] Yaga
    You are to protect the girl until then and
    ensure that she reaches Tengen-sama!
[18:53] Yaga
    If you fail, the effects will ripple
    throughout even normal society!
[18:56] Yaga
    Don't forget that!
[18:59] Gojo
    Yeah, but you know,
[19:00] Gojo
    I get why Curse User Group Q
    would be after her,
[19:03] Gojo
    but why would this Star Religious
    Group want to kill a brat?
[19:07] Geto
    Their object of worship is
    the pure form of Tengen-sama.
[19:11] Geto
    Allowing the Star Plasma Vessel—
[19:12] Geto
    in their minds, an impurity—
    to blend into him is unforgivable.
[19:17] Geto
    The Star Religious Group is an
    organization of non-sorcerers.
[19:20] Geto
    I don't think we need to pay them any mind.
[19:22] Geto
    The ones to be wary of are Q.
[19:25] Gojo
    Well, I'm sure it'll be fine.
[19:27] Gojo
    We're the strongest, after all.
[19:28] Gojo
    That's why Tengen-sama asked
    for us specifically, right?
[19:34] Gojo
    What is it?
[19:35] Geto
    You know, Satoru...
[19:38] Geto
    I've been wanting to say this for a while,
[19:40] Geto
    but you should stop being
    so full of yourself.
[19:43] Gojo
    Huh?!
[19:46] Geto
    Especially when you're
    addressing your superiors.
[19:48] Geto
    We might end up meeting
    Tengen-sama, after all.
[19:51] Geto
    You should be more polite and humble.
[19:55] Geto
    You'd scare your juniors less, too.
[19:57] Gojo
    Hah!
[19:58] Gojo
    Screw that!
[19:59] Geto
    Come on, Satoru.
[20:01] Geto
    Whatever.
[20:02] Geto
    I'll bring it up again later.
[20:09] Kuroi
    Coming.
[20:10] Geto
    Huh?
[20:18] Gojo
    You alive?
[20:19] Geto
    I am, at least.
[20:22] Gojo
    You think we'll be blamed
    if the brat died from that?
[20:25] Gojo
    Ah
[20:36] Kokun
    Don't blame me.
[20:38] Kokun
    If you must hate someone, hate Tengen.

[20:44] Geto
    Would you please stop making us stand out?
[20:47] Geto
    We just got chewed out
    for that this morning.
[20:49] Geto
    So this girl is the Star Plasma Vessel?
[20:52] Kokun
    I know those uniforms. You're
    sorcerers from Jujutsu High, right?
[20:55] Kokun
    Hand over the kid.
[20:57] Kokun
    Or I'll kill you.
[20:58] Geto
    Can't hear you.
[21:00] Geto
    Come closer and talk.
[21:02] Gojo
    Man, barely safe.
[21:09] Bayer
    Wonderful.

    You're Satoru Gojo, right?

[21:14] Bayer
    You're famous.
[21:17] Bayer
    I hear you're strong.
[21:18] Bayer
    Let me find out if the rumors are true.
[21:22] Gojo
    I'm down for that, but let's set some rules.
[21:25] Bayer
    Rules?
[21:27] Gojo
    I don't want to get yelled
    at for going overboard.
[21:30] Gojo
    So if you cry and apologize,
    I won't kill you.
[21:33] Gojo
    That's our rule.
[21:35] Bayer
    Damn brat.
[21:38] Kong
    It's started.
[21:40] Kong
    The Star Religious Group doesn't have the
    power to fight against jujutsu sorcerers.
[21:45] Kong
    But they can pay very well.
[21:46] Kong
    That I guarantee.
[21:49] Kong
    How about it, Zen'in?
[21:51] Kong
    Want to get in on the assassination
    of the Star Plasma Vessel?
[21:55] Toji
    I'm not a Zen'in anymore.
[21:57] Toji
    I took my wife's name.
[21:59] Toji
    It's Fushiguro now.
[22:02] Toji
    But sure.
[22:03] Toji
    Count me in.

    You know how there are some

[23:42] Gojo
    your head, even though they
    have no connection to you?
[23:44] Geto
    Like "The Privatization of

    Yeah! Or like "Corporate Governance."
