[00:08] Ui
    Nee-sama!
[00:26] Mei
    So cramped.
[00:30] Mei
    I get it now.
[00:40] Mei
    Step 1, restrain me in a coffin.
[00:43] Mei
    Step 2, bury me under a gravestone.
[00:46] Mei
    Step 3, start a three count.
[00:50] Mei
    And that's as far as this domain's
    guaranteed-hit effect applies.
[00:53] Mei
    It is a special-grade disease curse.
[00:55] Mei
    If I don't break out of the coffin
    before the count is up,
[00:59] Mei
    I'll contract that disease and die.
[01:16] Mei
    The real issue is that gravestone.
[01:19] Mei
    If I eat that attack twice more,
    I'll no longer be able to move, as well.
[01:23] Mei
    I wouldn't want to fight
    Geto-kun in that state.
[01:28] Mei
    Ui Ui, are you all right?
[01:30] Ui
    Yes, Nee-sama.
[01:35] Mei
    It's probably reflexively
    targeting the person with
[01:38] Mei
    the strongest cursed energy in its domain.
[01:42] Mei
    Only two crows were sucked
    into the domain with me.
[02:03] Mei
    I was right.
[02:06] Mei
    So in order to take it down,
[02:07] Mei
    I'll have to shift its target to Ui Ui
[02:10] Mei
    so he can buy me time to operate freely.
[02:15] Mei
    But Ui Ui will die after taking
    one hit from that gravestone.
[02:22] Mei
    Ui Ui...
[02:25] Mei
    Will you die for me?
[02:31] Ui
    Are you sure that's all right? May I die for you?
[02:54] Ui
    The moment I released my cursed energy,
[02:57] Ui
    Nee-sama suppressed hers.
[02:59] Ui
    I understand everything now,
[03:02] Ui
    Nee-sama!
[03:24] Mei
    Did you think I only brought
    that boy to carry my things?
[03:30] Ui
    Nee-sama's request that I risk my life
[03:32] Ui
    is the signal permitting me
    to use my cursed energy.
SIGN    New Shadow Style: Simple Domain
[03:37] Mei
    Ui Ui's role is dealing with domains.
[03:40] Mei
    It goes against my principles
    to owe anyone anything.
[03:44] Mei
    So I leave that aspect up to him.
[04:25] Mei
    What do you think is the greatest way
    to instantly boost a sorcerer's base power?
[04:33] Ui
    It's using a pact that
    puts your life on the line!
[04:36] Ui
    Right, Nee-sama?!
[04:38] Ui
    Yes!
[04:39] Ui
    The crowning attack of Nee-sama's cursed
    technique, Black Bird Manipulation,
[04:43] Ui
    is Kamikaze: Bird Strike!
[04:46] Ui
    She forces her crow to commit
    suicide, which in return
[04:49] Ui
    removes the limit on a crow's
    normally feeble cursed energy,
[04:52] Ui
    as she makes them slam into her opponent.
[04:54] Ui
    No human is able to stop her Bird Strike,
[04:57] Ui
    with the sole exception of Satoru Gojo.
[05:09] Mei
    Okay, everyone, it's the main event.
[05:13] Mei
    Will you die for me?
[05:18] Geto
    Not bad.
[05:20] Geto
    For a modern sorcerer.

[06:56] Naobito
    Satoru Gojo has been sealed, huh?
[06:59] Naobito
    I feel like I've been bushwhacked.
[07:01] Nanami
    Me, too.
[07:03] Nanami
    Geto-san is involved, though,
    even if he is a fake.
[07:07] Nanami
    I imagine the trick lies there.
[07:10] Naobito
    I'd be happy to toast
    the fall of the Gojo clan.
[07:18] Maki
    Go home if you're not going to help!
[07:21] Naobito
    Go home, huh?
[07:23] Naobito
    That's what you should be doing, Maki.
[07:27] Naobito
    Right, grade 1 sorcerer, Nanami-dono?
[07:30] Nanami
    Maki-san,
[07:32] Nanami
    you should do what he says in this regard.
[07:35] Maki
    I'll be far more useful than some drunkard.

[07:38] Nanami
    Have you been drinking?
[07:40] Naobito
    No, I hafn'h been dwinking.
[07:45] Nanami
    I guess there's never been a case
    where I was better off alone.
[08:00] Maki
    Nanami-san.
[08:02] Nanami
    Yes.
[08:10] Nanami
    I'll take this one.
[08:20] Naobito
    You guys are a bit too slow.
[08:36] Maki
    Did you see that?
[08:37] Nanami
    No.
[08:39] Nanami
    It must be his technique.
[08:57] Naobito
    How many people have you eaten?
[09:08] Dagon
    Jogo...
[09:14] Dagon
    Mahito...
[09:18] Dagon
    Hanami...
[09:21] Dagon
    Hanami!
[09:28] Dagon
    How dare...
[09:30] Dagon
    How dare you kill Hanami?!
[09:33] Dagon
    ...kill Hanami?!
[09:37] Naobito
    I see. No wonder you were weak.
[09:42] Naobito
    You were still only a Curse Womb, then.
[09:53] Maki
    Water?!
[10:04] Maki
    And such a vast amount of it!
[10:12] Naobito
    Cursed spirit,
[10:14] Naobito
    do you know how many frames there
    are in one second of animation?
[10:20] Dagon
    It's not "cursed spirit." I am Dagon.
[10:23] Naobito
    There's a modern tendency to
    raise resolutions and frame rates.
[10:27] Dagon
    There's Hanami, Jogo, and Mahito, too.
[10:31] Naobito
    Upscaling to 4K, and 60fps
    frame interpolation...
[10:37] Dago
    We all...
[10:38] Naobito
    They don't cause anyone any trouble
    when done for personal use, so that's fine.
[10:43] Naobito
    However, modern TVs have their damn
    frame interpolation set to "on" by default!
[10:49] Naobito
    It's not like "unwanted favor"
    has become a dead phrase already!
[10:54] Naobito
    Nothing is more lamentable than that!
[10:56] Naobito
    Creating that soap opera effect...
[10:58] Dagon
    We all have names!
[11:01] Naobito
    Don't you agree that's uncultured?!
[11:19] Naobito
    Whoa there.
[11:40] Nanami
    No damage.
[11:42] Nanami
    Or rather, it feels more
    like he has endless HP.
[11:58] Naobito
    I can't believe two grade 1s like
    us couldn't exorcise it together.
[12:02] Naobito
    What dire straits.
[12:04] Maki
    Shit!
[12:06] Maki
    If the old man hadn't used his technique,
[12:08] Maki
    I would have died there.
[12:11] Maki
    I'm ashamed.
[12:13] Naobito
    A defensive barrier of water, huh?
[12:15] Naobito
    Can you produce large-scale attacks
    at the same time, too?
[12:18] Naobito
    You have too much cursed energy.
[12:20] Naobito
    You still have several
    techniques left, right?
[12:22] Naobito
    So what should I do?
[12:25] Naobito
    That's easy.
[12:27] Naobito
    I'll kill you quickly,
[12:32] Naobito
    before you can use your technique!
[12:37] Dagon
    Impossible!
[12:47] Naobito
    Of course, you can hover, too, right?
[12:49] Naobito
    I'd escape upward, too.
[12:56] Dagon
    I can't activate my technique!
[13:06] Dagon
    It's this man!
[13:08] Dagon
    It's this man's fault!
[13:20] Dagon
    He's fast!
[13:21] Dagon
    Probably faster than Jogo!
[13:31] Narrator
    Projection Sorcery.
[13:33] Narrator
    The cursed technique of Naobito Zen'in.
[13:35] Narrator
    It splits one second into 24
    frames from his field of view,
[13:40] Narrator
    and allows him to trace the actions
    created in those frames at the start.
[13:45] Narrator
    While the technique is active,
[13:46] Narrator
    anyone Naobito touches
    with his hand must also
[13:49] Narrator
    define their actions
    within 1/24th of a second.
[13:53] Narrator
    If they fail to do so,
    then their action hangs,
[13:56] Narrator
    and they remain frozen for one second.
[14:01] Narrator
    There are risks.
[14:04] Narrator
    The actions defined cannot
    be edited halfway through.
[14:08] Narrator
    Creating actions that excessively
    ignore physics and paths of motion
[14:12] Narrator
    will result in him freezing, as well.
[14:25] Narrator
    Still, with his innate sense
    for frame beats and time,
[14:30] Narrator
    he's managed to become the fastest
    sorcerer, aside from Satoru Gojo.
[14:41] Naobito
    I won't let you.

[15:32] Maki
    Shikigami?! So this is the domain's
    guaranteed-hit attack?
[15:35] Maki
    I didn't notice them until they struck.
[15:37] Maki
    No, they didn't even exist until they hit.

    Secret Art: Falling Blossom Emotion.
[15:45] Narrator
    An anti-domain technique passed
    down among the big three clans.
[15:48] Narrator
    Like Simple Domain, the user does
    not activate their own domain,
[15:52] Narrator
    and instead, the moment the domain's
    guaranteed-hit attack activates,
[15:55] Narrator
    it protects the user by countering
    with their own cursed energy.
[16:00] Dagon
    I knew that man was
    different from the others.
[16:02] Dagon
    I'm done testing their strength.
[16:04] Dagon
    I'll split my power, 70% to the mustached man,
    and 30% to the man in a suit.

    Activate technique: Death Swarm!

    Maki-san!
[16:19] Nanami
    The shikigami aren't
    heading straight for us!
[16:23] Nanami
    They'll be gouging out our
    flesh in the next instant!
[16:27] Nanami
    Don't think about it!
[16:28] Nanami
    The moment you feel contact,
    cut them down one after another!
[16:32] Nanami
    That's the best you can manage
    with your scant cursed en—
[16:38] Maki
    Nanami-san!
[16:48] Naobito
    The surge of shikigami isn't abating at all.

    Is it possible the technique
    embedded into this domain is—

    Falling—

    Weak.

    You're first.

    Death Swarm is a swarm of
    endlessly emerging shikigami.
[17:34] Maki
    If you're gonna call me weak,
[17:37] Maki
    then kill me in a single blow,
[17:40] Maki
    Octobitch.
[17:43] Dagon
    Then I'll devour you...
[17:46] Maki
    Shit!

[18:17] Fushiguro
    He's the source of this domain!
[18:19] Dagon
    You dare infiltrate my domain on your own?
[18:25] Dagon
    How foolish.
[18:28] Dagon
    What?!
[18:45] Dagon
    The guaranteed-hit effect
    of my domain is gone!
[18:50] Dagon
    That boy is deploying his domain.
[18:54] Dagon
    Right now, his domain and
    mine are playing tug-of-war.
[18:58] Dagon
    In order to regain my guaranteed-hit effect,
[19:01] Dagon
    I'll have to crush his domain first.
[19:05] Dagon
    Easily done!

    Please focus on your domain.

    He endured Death Swarm for roughly a minute?

[20:03] Naobito
    You only took one measly right arm.
[20:07] Naobito
    But it had 71 years in it.
[20:11] Naobito
    That's going to cost you!
[20:20] Nanami
    If this state keeps up, we have a chance.
[20:24] Nanami
    If it keeps up.

    Nanami-san!
[20:35] Fushiguro
    That octopus currently thinks our
    domains are pushing for control.
[20:40] Fushiguro
    But my goal is different.
[20:44] Fushiguro
    I'll open a small hole
[20:47] Fushiguro
    in the barrier of this domain!
[20:50] Fushiguro
    The hole I entered through
    is already sealed.
[20:52] Fushiguro
    It's harder to open one
    from inside than outside,
[20:54] Fushiguro
    but I can open a hole large enough for
    someone to pass through for a few seconds.
[21:00] Fushiguro
    That thing isn't Gojo-sensei.
[21:01] Fushiguro
    It shouldn't be able to use Domain
    Expansion multiple times in one day.
[21:05] Fushiguro
    Once we're all out of
    this domain, we can win.
[21:08] Fushiguro
    The edge of his domain is beneath my feet.
[21:10] Fushiguro
    I can tell, since I touched it when I entered.
[21:13] Fushiguro
    I'm ready to go at any time!
[21:14] Fushiguro
    If all three of you jump in at once...
[21:17] Nanami
    None of this leaving yourself
    behind alone, all right?
[21:21] Fushiguro
    I'm risking my life,
[21:24] Fushiguro
    but I don't intend to throw it away.

[21:30] Nanami
    Gather 'round!
[21:39] Dagon
    They're bolstering their defense of the boy?
[21:42] Dagon
    That just groups them up for me to—
[21:46] Dagon
    No!

    He figured it out?! But it's too late!

    To Fushiguro-kun's feet!
[23:40] Mei
    Don't you think sibling relationships tend
    to show through in a person's character?
[23:43] Ui
    Nee-sama, that could encourage
    the discriminatory
[23:45] Ui
    idea that all only children are selfish!

    You're right, that's not good!
