SIGN    JUJUTSU KAISEN
    Hidden Inventory/Premature Death
SIGN    1 Year Later
    August 2007
[01:32] Shoko
    Here we go.
[01:39] Gojo
    Yeah, it's working.
[01:41] Shoko
    Ugh, what the heck was that?
[01:44] Geto
    Automatic selection of targets
    for your jujutsu technique?
[01:46] Gojo
    Yup.
[01:47] Gojo
    Though, to be precise,
    I'm the target for the technique.
[01:51] Gojo
    I've automated what I used to do manually.
[01:54] Gojo
    Now it can discern an object's danger level
[01:56] Gojo
    based on the strength of its cursed energy,
    its mass, its velocity, and its shape.
[02:01] Gojo
    I'd like to get it to discern poisons, too,
[02:04] Gojo
    but that's still proving difficult.
[02:06] Gojo
    This will allow me to keep
    my Limitless technique active
[02:09] Gojo
    almost perpetually with minimal resources.
[02:11] Shoko
    Having it perpetually active
    will fry your brain.
[02:14] Gojo
    But I can also keep running
    the reverse cursed technique
[02:17] Gojo
    with the energy I generate on my own.
[02:18] Gojo
    So I'm constantly giving it
    a fresh brain to work with.
[02:21] Gojo
    I'd already been working on shortening
    my hand seals. That's nailed now, too.
[02:24] Gojo
    So I can also activate multiple
    instances of Blue and Red simultaneously.
[02:30] Gojo
    The only remaining hurdles are
[02:31] Gojo
    Domain Expansion and
    teleportation over long distances.
[02:34] Gojo
    I should be able to get
    that down if we set up
[02:36] Gojo
    some courses without any
    obstacles in Jujutsu High.
[02:40] Gojo
    Shoko, could you lend me some lab rats?
[02:42] Shoko
    Uh...
[02:44] Geto
    Satoru had become the "strongest."
[02:46] Gojo
    Suguru, have you lost weight?
[02:49] Gojo
    You okay?
[02:50] Geto
    He handled all of his missions alone,
[02:53] Geto
    and Shoko was never sent out on
    dangerous missions in the first place,
[02:57] Geto
    which naturally meant I was sent
    on missions alone more often, too.
[03:01] Geto
    It's just heat fatigue.
[03:03] Geto
    I'll be fine.
[03:05] Gojo
    Did you eat too much somen?
[03:08] Geto
    Things were busy that summer.
SIGN    Episode 29
    Premature Death
[03:16] Geto
    Likely spurred by the frequent
    disasters of the past year,
[03:20] Geto
    cursed spirits were
    springing up like maggots.
[03:24] Geto
    Exorcise, absorb.
[03:26] Geto
    Over and over.
[03:28] Geto
    Exorcise.
[03:29] Geto
    Absorb.
[03:31] Geto
    No one else understands
    what cursed spirits taste like.
[03:34] Geto
    It's like swallowing a dirty rag that's
    been used to clean up shit and vomit.
[03:40] Geto
    Who am I doing this for?
[03:46] Geto
    Exorcise.
[03:47] Geto
    Absorb.
[03:49] Geto
    Ever since that day,
    I've been telling myself,
[03:52] Geto
    "What I witnessed isn't uncommon."
[03:55] Geto
    "I understood the ugliness of the masses,
[03:59] Geto
    "and still chose to be a
    jujutsu sorcerer to save others."
[04:13] Geto
    "Don't waver."
[04:14] Geto
    "Fulfill your duty as a
    strong jujutsu sorcerer."
[04:36] Geto
    Damn monkeys...
[04:41] Haibara
    Geto-san!
[04:44] Geto
    Haibara...
[04:46] Haibara
    Good work out there!
[04:48] Geto
    Want something to drink?
[04:50] Haibara
    Huh? No, I'd feel bad!
[04:52] Haibara
    But I'll take a cola!
[04:56] Haibara
    I'm going pretty far away
    for my mission tomorrow.
[04:59] Geto
    That so?
[05:00] Geto
    Bring back souvenirs.
[05:02] Haibara
    Of course!
[05:03] Haibara
    Do you prefer sweet stuff or salty stuff?
[05:07] Geto
    Satoru might eat some, too, so... sweet, I guess?
[05:11] Geto
    Got it!
[05:16] Geto
    Haibara...
[05:18] Geto
    Do you think you can keep going as a
    jujutsu sorcerer? It's not too hard for you?
[05:23] Haibara
    Well...
[05:25] Haibara
    I'm not really one to think
    about things too deeply,
[05:29] Haibara
    so it feels really good to be able to
    give my all to something I can actually do.
[05:36] Geto
    I see.
[05:38] Geto
    Yeah, it does.
[05:43] Tsukumo
    Are you Geto-kun?
[05:46] Tsukumo
    What kind of woman is your type?
[05:50] Geto
    Who are you?
[05:52] Haibara
    I like girls who eat a lot!
[05:55] Tsukumo
    Oh?
[05:56] Geto
    Haibara...
[05:57] Haibara
    It's okay.
[05:59] Haibara
    She's not a bad person.
[06:01] Haibara
    I'm a great judge of character!
[06:03] Geto
    You say that while sitting next to me?
[06:07] Haibara
    Yes!
[06:10] Tsukumo
    He was being sarcastic, you know.
[06:14] Haibara
    Excuse me.
[06:17] Tsukumo
    Your underclassman?
[06:18] Tsukumo
    He's cute. I like how frank he is.
[06:20] Geto
    I think he should be more
    suspicious of people as a sorcerer.
[06:24] Tsukumo
    So, are you not going to answer?
[06:28] Geto
    Please answer my question first.
[06:31] Geto
    Who are you?
[06:32] Tsukumo
    Special-grade sorcerer Yuki Tsukumo.
[06:35] Tsukumo
    That ring any bells?
[06:38] Geto
    You're her?
[06:39] Tsukumo
    Oh, I like the sound of that! What do they say?
[06:43] Geto
    That you're a special-grade
    who never accepts any missions,
[06:46] Geto
    and you're a good-for-nothing
    who's been wandering around abroad.
[06:49] Tsukumo
    I hate Jujutsu High.
SIGN    She's pouting...
[06:52] Geto
    She's pouting.
[06:53] Tsukumo
    I'm joking.
[06:55] Tsukumo
    Though it's true that I don't get along
    with Jujutsu High's policies.
[06:59] Tsukumo
    What they're doing is just treating symptoms,
[07:02] Tsukumo
    and I want to do something
    to treat the cause.
[07:05] Geto
    Treat the cause?
[07:07] Tsukumo
    Rather than hunt down cursed spirits,
[07:09] Tsukumo
    I want to create a world
    where cursed spirits aren't born.
[07:15] Tsukumo
    Care for a little lesson?
[07:18] Tsukumo
    What are cursed spirits to begin with?
[07:20] Geto
    They're creatures that take
    shape when cursed energy
[07:23] Geto
    leaking from humans
    builds up like sediment.
[07:26] Tsukumo
    Excellent.
[07:28] Tsukumo
    Now this means there are two ways to create
    a world where cursed spirits aren't born.
[07:33] Tsukumo
    One: Eliminate cursed energy from mankind.
[07:36] Tsukumo
    Two: Make it possible for all of humanity
    to control their cursed energy.
[07:41] Tsukumo
    I thought number one had a
    pretty good chance of working.
[07:45] Tsukumo
    There was a model case for it, too.
[07:47] Geto
    A model case?
[07:48] Tsukumo
    Someone you know well.
[07:50] Tsukumo
    Toji Zen'in.
[07:53] Tsukumo
    I've seen plenty of cases
    where a Heavenly Pact reduced
[07:55] Tsukumo
    a person's cursed energy to the
    level of your average person,
[07:58] Tsukumo
    but you could search the
    whole world only to find
[08:00] Tsukumo
    he was the only case in which
    that cursed energy dropped to zero.
[08:04] Tsukumo
    That wasn't the only intriguing
    thing about him, either.
[08:08] Tsukumo
    Even though Zen'in Toji
    had zero cursed energy,
[08:11] Tsukumo
    he was able to perceive cursed
    spirits with his five senses.
[08:14] Tsukumo
    By completely casting aside cursed energy,
[08:16] Tsukumo
    his body drew a hard line
[08:18] Tsukumo
    and actually gave him
    great resistance to curses.
[08:21] Tsukumo
    He truly was superhuman.
[08:23] Tsukumo
    You shouldn't be ashamed of losing to him.
[08:26] Tsukumo
    I wanted to try studying him,
    but he turned me down.
[08:30] Tsukumo
    It was a real shame to lose him.
[08:33] Tsukumo
    And there aren't many people
    with Heavenly Pacts,
[08:35] Tsukumo
    so I'm currently favoring route number two,
[08:38] Tsukumo
    making it possible for all of humanity
    to control their cursed energy.
[08:42] Tsukumo
    Did you know?
[08:44] Tsukumo
    Cursed spirits aren't born from sorcerers.
[08:47] Tsukumo
    Of course, that excludes cases
    where the jujutsu sorcerer
[08:50] Tsukumo
    turns themselves into a curse after death.
[08:53] Tsukumo
    Compared to non-sorcerers, jujutsu sorcerers
    leak extremely little cursed energy.
[08:58] Tsukumo
    There's some variance based
    on the sorcerer's capacity
[09:00] Tsukumo
    and the amount of cursed
    energy their technique expends,
[09:02] Tsukumo
    but the main reason is their flow.
[09:05] Tsukumo
    Jujutsu sorcerers circulate cursed
    energy through their own bodies well.
[09:09] Tsukumo
    To put it in rough, general terms,
[09:11] Tsukumo
    if all of mankind were jujutsu sorcerers,
[09:14] Tsukumo
    curses wouldn't be born.
[09:17] Geto
    Then you could solve it simply
    by killing all non-sorcerers.
[09:23] Tsukumo
    Geto-kun.
[09:25] Tsukumo
    That's possible.
[09:27] Geto
    Huh? But...
[09:30] Tsukumo
    I mean, that's probably
    the easiest way to achieve it.
[09:34] Tsukumo
    Just keep culling non-sorcerers and
[09:37] Tsukumo
    force them to adapt into sorcerers
    as a survival strategy.
[09:40] Tsukumo
    You would be forcing them to
    evolve using fear and danger,
[09:45] Tsukumo
    the same way birds gained wings.
[09:48] Tsukumo
    But unfortunately, I'm not
    crazy enough to do that.
[09:52] Tsukumo
    Do you hate non-sorcerers, Geto-kun?
[09:59] Geto
    I don't know.
[10:01] Geto
    I always thought jujutsu sorcery
    existed to protect non-sorcerers.
[10:05] Geto
    But lately, the value of non-sorcerers
[10:08] Geto
    has been wavering in my mind.
[10:11] Geto
    The admirability of the weak...
[10:13] Geto
    The ugliness of the weak...
[10:14] Geto
    I find myself struggling to discern
    the difference and accept those things.
[10:18] Geto
    There's a part of me
    that despises non-sorcerers,
[10:20] Geto
    and a part of me that wants to reject that part.
[10:22] Geto
    My vision for what lies at
    the end of the marathon game
[10:25] Geto
    of being a jujutsu sorcerer is so vague now
[10:28] Geto
    that I can't tell which
    represents how I truly feel.
[10:31] Tsukumo
    Neither one is how you truly feel.
[10:37] Tsukumo
    You're not at that stage yet.
[10:39] Tsukumo
    This part of you despising non-sorcerers,
[10:42] Tsukumo
    and this part of you rejecting that,
[10:44] Tsukumo
    are both just possibilities
    that you're considering.
[10:48] Tsukumo
    It's up to you to choose which part
[10:50] Tsukumo
    becomes your true
    feelings from here on out.
[10:56] Tsukumo
    See you later.
[10:58] Tsukumo
    It's a shame I didn't get to
    talk to Gojo-kun, too,
[11:01] Tsukumo
    but it looks like I missed him today.
[11:03] Tsukumo
    I hope the three of us can all
    get along as fellow special-grades.
[11:08] Geto
    I'll pass that along to Satoru.
[11:11] Tsukumo
    Oh, right, one last thing.
[11:14] Tsukumo
    You don't need to worry
    about the Star Plasma Vessel.
[11:17] Tsukumo
    Either there was already another
    Star Plasma Vessel at the time,
[11:20] Tsukumo
    or a new Star Plasma Vessel
    has already been born.
[11:24] Tsukumo
    Either way, Tengen is stable.
[11:32] Geto
    I'm sure.
SIGN    Oh...
[11:34] Tsukumo
    Oh, I didn't get his type.
[11:35] Tsukumo
    I didn't get his type.
[11:40] Nanami
    It was supposed to be an easy mission to
    exterminate a second-grade cursed spirit!
[11:49] Nanami
    Damn it!
[11:55] Nanami
    Their faith in Ubusunagami...
[11:59] Nanami
    That was a local deity.
[12:02] Nanami
    That was a first-grade case!
[12:06] Geto
    You need to rest for now, Nanami.
[12:10] Geto
    Satoru has taken up your mission.
[12:14] Nanami
    Can't we just leave everything
    up to him alone at this point?
[12:19] Geto
    This marathon game of being
    a jujutsu sorcerer...
[12:24] Geto
    If the only thing waiting at the end
[12:28] Geto
    is a mountain of our
    comrades' corpses, then...
[12:43] Geto
    What is this?
[12:44] Man
    What, you ask?
[12:46] Man
    These two are responsible
    for the latest incidents, right?
[12:52] Geto
    No, they're not.
[12:59] Man
    These two are crazy!
[13:02] Man
    They used their mysterious powers
    to attack the villagers!
[13:06] Geto
    I've already exterminated
    the cause of those incidents.
[13:09] Woman
    My granddaughter was nearly
    killed by these two, too!
[13:12] Nanako
    That's because she—
[13:13] Woman
    Shut up, you monsters!
[13:15] Woman
    Your parents were just as bad!
[13:17] Curse
    It... It's okay.
[13:17] Woman
    I knew we should have killed you
    two when you were babies!
[13:23] Tsukumo
    This part of you despising non-sorcerers,
[13:25] Tsukumo
    and this part of you rejecting that..
[13:27] (Flashback) Tsukumo
    It's up to you to choose which part...
[13:30] Geto
    Everyone, shall we step
    outside for a moment?
[13:34] (Flashback) Tsukumo
    ...becomes your true
    feelings from here on out.
[13:42] Woman
    What?!
[13:44] Man
    Why?!
[13:47] Woman
    No!
SIGN    ...112 residents of the village were killed,
    after which a fire...
    (By the time Jujutsu High investigated
    on September 23rd...
    Investigations confirmed that all 112 were...
    ...residuals revealed to be the work of
    Suguru Geto's curse manipulation.
SIGN    Investigations confirmed that all 112 were killed by a cursed spirit,
    which the residuals revealed to be the work
    of Suguru Geto's curse manipulation.
SIGN    ...sentenced to death.
[14:16] Gojo
    Huh?
[14:17] Yaga
    Don't make me repeat myself.
[14:20] Yaga
    Suguru killed everyone in the village and—
[14:22] Gojo
    I heard you the first time.
[14:24] Gojo
    That's why I said, "Huh?"
[14:27] Yaga
    Suguru's old home was already
    an empty husk, as well.
[14:31] Yaga
    Though, from the bloodstains and residuals, he most likely killed his parents, too—
[14:35] Gojo
    Like hell he did!
[14:36] Yaga
    Satoru.
[14:37] Yaga
    I don't understand what's going on, either.
[14:50] Sign
    Huh?
    A high
    schooler?
[14:55] Geto
    Need a light?
[14:58] Geto
    Hey.
[15:00] Shoko
    It's the criminal.
[15:02] Shoko
    Need something?
[15:04] Geto
    Just testing my luck, I guess.
[15:07] Shoko
    I'll go ahead and ask...
[15:09] Shoko
    Any chance the charges are false?
[15:11] Geto
    Nope. Unfortunately not.
[15:14] Shoko
    I'll ask further, then. Why?
[15:17] Geto
    I'm going to create a world
    of only jujutsu sorcerers.
[15:20] Shoko
    I don't get it.
[15:22] Geto
    I'm not a child.
[15:24] Geto
    I'm not holding out hope
    that everyone will understand.
[15:28] Shoko
    Sulking over the idea that
    no one will understand you
[15:31] Shoko
    sounds pretty childish to me, though.
[15:33] Shoko
    Hey, Gojo?
[15:35] Shoko
    I found Geto.
[15:37] Shoko
    Yeah, Shinjuku.
[15:40] Shoko
    No way. I don't want to get killed.
[15:51] Gojo
    Explain yourself, Suguru.
[15:58] Geto
    You already heard from Shoko, right?
[16:01] Geto
    That's all there is to it.
[16:03] Gojo
    So you're just going to kill
    everyone who's not a sorcerer?
[16:06] Gojo
    Even your parents?!
[16:07] Geto
    I can't allow my parents
    to be a special exception.
[16:10] Geto
    Besides, those people
    aren't my family anymore.
[16:14] Gojo
    That's not what I was asking!
[16:16] Gojo
    I thought we weren't allowed to
    kill when there's no point to it!
[16:19] Geto
    There is a point to it. Significance, too.
[16:22] Geto
    Even a great cause.
[16:23] Gojo
    There's not!
[16:25] Gojo
    You're going to kill all non-sorcerers and
    create a world of only jujutsu sorcerers?!
[16:28] Gojo
    You know that's impossible!
[16:30] Gojo
    There's no point in chipping away bit by bit
[16:32] Gojo
    at something you can't possibly do!
[16:36] Geto
    How arrogant.
[16:38] Gojo
    Huh?
[16:40] Geto
    You could do it, couldn't you, Satoru?
[16:45] Geto
    Yet you would try to convince someone else
[16:48] Geto
    that it's impossible to do
    something that's possible for you?
[16:56] Geto
    Are you the strongest
    because you're Satoru Gojo?
[16:59] Geto
    Or does being the strongest
    make you Satoru Gojo?
[17:02] Gojo
    What are you trying to say?
[17:04] Geto
    If I were able to become you,
[17:07] Geto
    this foolish ideal would become a lot
    more grounded and real, don't you think?
[17:12] Geto
    I've decided how I'll live my life.
[17:14] Geto
    Now it's just a matter of doing
    the best I can to achieve that.
[17:27] Geto
    If you want to kill me, then kill me.
[17:30] Geto
    There would be a point to that.
[17:42] Yaga
    Why didn't you pursue him?
[17:48] Gojo
    You're actually asking me that?
[17:52] Yaga
    Nah, it's fine.
[17:54] Yaga
    My bad.
[17:59] Gojo
    Sensei, I'm strong, right?
[18:02] Yaga
    Yeah, brazenly so.
[18:06] Gojo
    But apparently, it's not good enough
    for just me to be strong.
[18:10] Gojo
    The only ones I can save
[18:12] Gojo
    are those who are already ready
    to be saved by another.
[18:20] Geto
    I thought the Star Religious Group
    was already dissolved.
[18:23] Kong
    It's a different group,
    but their roots are the same.
[18:25] Kong
    They're claiming they just bought
    the existing space as-is.
[18:28] Kong
    Don't like it?
[18:29] Geto
    No, it doesn't matter, as long as
    I can gather curses and money.
[18:33] Kong
    Are you really going out dressed like that?
[18:36] Geto
    Why not? A little showmanship is important.
[18:39] Nanako
    Geto-sama...
[18:41] Geto
    Watch closely.
[18:43] Geto
    They're all there, right?
[18:44] Kong
    All the branch directors,
    all the representatives, and the president.
[18:47] Kong
    All the big donors, as well.
[18:53] Geto
    Test, test. Sorry for the wait, everyone.
[18:58] Geto
    Now, I'll keep this brief.
[19:00] Geto
    From this moment onward,
    this organization belongs to me.
[19:04] Geto
    I'll be changing the name, too,
[19:06] Geto
    so everyone, please be sure to follow me.
SIGN    Many Objected
[19:11] Geto
    Now, that's not good.
[19:13] Geto
    I know!
[19:15] Geto
    Sonoda-san, if you wouldn't mind,
    please come to the stage.
[19:19] Geto
    Yes! You there!
[19:21] Geto
    Now, once again.
[19:24] Geto
    I hate monkeys.
[19:25] Geto
    You obey me now...
[19:27] Geto
    That's the true feeling I chose.
[19:30] Geto
    ...monkeys.
[19:34] Gojo
    You're Megumi Fushiguro-kun, right?
[19:39] Megumi
    Who are you?
[19:41] Megumi
    And what's with that weird face?
[19:44] Gojo
    You look just like him, is all.
[19:48] Gojo
    My own issue.
[19:50] Gojo
    So listen. About your dad...
[19:52] Gojo
    He's from this big shot jujutsu
    sorcerer family called the Zen'in,
[19:55] Gojo
    but they're such scumbags
    they make even me sick,
[19:57] Gojo
    and that's why your dad left
    the family and had you.
[20:00] Gojo
    Now, you're one of the
    ones who can see things,
[20:03] Gojo
    so you're privileged there, right?
[20:05] Gojo
    You've noticed the power
    within yourself, too, yeah?
[20:08] Gojo
    The Zen'in clan just loves strong powers.
[20:11] Gojo
    Most become aware of their cursed
    techniques around 4-6 years old.
[20:14] Gojo
    So it's the perfect timing to sell a kid off.
[20:17] Gojo
    So, Megumi-kun,
[20:18] Gojo
    you were the ultimate card that your dad
    kept on hand against the Zen'in clan.
[20:23] Gojo
    Pisses you off, doesn't it?
[20:24] Gojo
    So, about that dad of yours. I ki—
[20:27] Megumi
    I don't care.
[20:29] Megumi
    I have no interest in where
    he is or what he's doing.
[20:32] Megumi
    I haven't even seen him in years,
    so I don't remember what he looks like.
[20:35] Megumi
    Though I get the general idea
    from what you just said.
[20:38] Megumi
    Tsumiki's mother hasn't come home
    for a while now, either.
[20:41] Tsumiki
    Ah, Megumi's home!
[20:44] Megumi
    That means they're finished with us,
[20:46] Megumi
    and they're off enjoying
    themselves elsewhere, right?
[20:50] Gojo
    Are you really a first grader?
[20:53] Gojo
    Well, whatever.
[20:54] Gojo
    If you ever want to know about
    your father, you can ask me.
[20:58] Gojo
    Hup.
[20:59] Gojo
    I think it'll be pretty interesting to hear.
[21:02] Gojo
    Now, on to the main point.
[21:04] Gojo
    What do you want to do?
[21:05] Gojo
    Do you want to go to the Zen'in clan?
[21:08] Megumi
    What will happen to Tsumiki?
[21:10] Megumi
    If I go there, will Tsumiki be able to
    find happiness? It all depends on that.
[21:14] Gojo
    No. A hundred percent no.
[21:16] Gojo
    I can say that with certainty.
[21:21] Gojo
    Okay!
[21:23] Gojo
    Leave the rest to me, then.
[21:27] Gojo
    I might need you to push yourself a bit, though.
[21:31] Gojo
    So do your best.
[21:32] Gojo
    Get stronger.
[21:35] Gojo
    Strong enough to keep up with me.

    So even Sensei sleeps, huh?
[21:47] Nobara
    Of course he does.
    What kind of nonsense is that?
[21:50] Megumi
    Gojo-sensei!
[21:52] Yuji
    Oh, he's awake.
[21:54] Nobara
    Hey, that's one of those
    expensive chairs, isn't it?
[21:56] Megumi
    Please don't fall asleep
    after summoning all of us here.
[22:01] Yuji
    Hey, no fair! I get it next, got it?!

    Hey! Hurry up!

    What are you smiling about?

    Don't be mean! Move it!
[22:08] Gojo
    Nothing.
[23:40] Yuji
    How do you write "motto" in kanji?
[23:43] Yuji
    Wait, you use katakana? It's a foreign word?
