**[00:29] Mahito**
Let's kick it up a notch, Itadori!
**[00:32] Mahito**
This will be the last time
**[00:33] Mahito**
you and I curse each other!
**[00:40] Todo**
Hey, now.
**[00:41] Todo**
Are you leaving me out?
**[01:02] Yuji**
*He severed it himself?!*
**[01:25] Mahito**
Soul Multiplicity.
**[01:28] Narrator**
By combining souls with weak
rejection, it creates an amalgamation.
**[01:34] Mahito**
Polymorphic Soul Isomer!
**[01:37] Yuji**
*What is that transfigured human?!*
**[01:52] Todo**
* Given that he's able to*
* hold off me and my brother,*
**[01:56] Todo**
* the distribution of power*
* between his bodies is likely 2 to 8.*
**[02:05] Todo**
*And the weakened 2 is the main body!*
**[02:09] Todo**
*I'll make certain my brother crushes it!*
**[02:15] Todo**
* I've heard its transfigured humans*
* are around grade 3 or a weak grade 2!*
**[02:19] Todo**
*Crush it quickly, Aoi Todo!*
**[02:26] Todo**
*What?!*
**[02:27] Yuji**
Todo!
**[02:30] Mahito**
That's for underestimating me!
**[03:00] Todo**
*It's dead?*
**[03:03] Todo**
* It had so much power,*
* yet it only took a single blow?*
**[03:11] Todo**
*Now I see!*
**[03:13] Todo**
* It managed to gain explosive power by*
* burning through multiple souls in an instant!*
**[03:20] Todo**
* It's an extremely offense-oriented*
* transfigured human.*
**[03:22] Todo**
*And...*
**[03:25] Todo**
*there are two more?*
**[03:34] Todo**
Forgive me, you pitiful souls.

Shibuya Incident
**[05:16] Mahito**
I've finished getting us away
from the topknot gorilla.
**[05:19] Mahito**
Now to just
**[05:21] Mahito**
take him down!
**[06:30] Mahito**
Tsk.
**[06:35] Todo**
It would seem you're dead
set on leaving me out, huh?
**[06:40] Mahito**
* I guess I couldn't completely take him down*
* with two Polymorphic Soul Isomers.*
**[06:47] Mahito**
* Landing any blow on this guy*
* is a rather steep hurdle.*
**[06:52] Mahito**
*But if I unleash my domain,*
**[06:58] Mahito**
*I'll touch Sukuna and get killed.*
**[07:02] Mahito**
*Barriers are complex.*
**[07:04] Mahito**
* I already revealed the option*
* of excluding him from my domain.*
**[07:08] Mahito**
*The same ploy won't work on Itadori again.*
**[07:11] Mahito**
*So what do I do, then?*
**[07:14] Mahito**
*The one who taught me that was...*
**[07:19] Mahito**
Domain Expansion:
**[07:23] Mahito**
Self-Embodiment of Perfection!
**[07:27] Todo**
I thought that was suicide for it?!
**[07:30] Mahito**
It's a desperate gamble!
**[07:32] Mahito**
On a 0.2-second domain expansion!
**[07:38] Narration**
Todo moved to protect himself
from the domain,
**[07:41] Narration**
activating the Simple Domain he
learned directly from Yuki Tsukumo.
**[07:47] Narration**
Itadori acted even faster,
racing forth to exorcise Mahito
**[07:51] Narration**
before he unleashed Idle Transfiguration.
**[07:55] Narration**
Though Mahito activated his
technique even faster than that.
**[07:58] Narration**
The manifestation of an innate domain
**[08:00] Narration**
is usually followed by
the activation of a technique,
**[08:02] Narration**
but he merged those two
separate steps into one.
**[08:05] Narration**
It was an act of speed made possible by his
awakened state that followed Black Flash.
**[08:12] Mahito**
I take it I'm safe this time, Sukuna?
**[08:18] Mahito**
Knowing you, you have some kind of
backup plan with Itadori, right?
**[08:23] Mahito**
I won't let you, though.
**[08:25] Mahito**
I'll kill Itadori before
you switch with him.
**[08:28] Mahito**
So shut up and watch from here.
**[08:52] Yuji**
Todo!
**[08:58] Mahito**
Come on, I just made you more fashionable.
**[09:03] Narration**
After deploying a domain,
the technique engraved into the body
**[09:07] Narration**
is temporarily burned out,
and using it proves challenging.
**[09:10] Narration**
Mahito already understood that after
his flight from Satozakura High School.
**[09:17] Mahito**
Black Flash!
**[09:22] Mahito**
*He just...*
**[09:24] Mahito**
* focused all his damn cursed*
* energy in his stomach on instinct!*
**[09:34] Mahito**
*However, my technique has recovered!*
**[09:37] Mahito**
*And he can't clap his hands anymore!*
**[09:39] Mahito**
*This time, I'll kill him for certain!*
**[09:56] Mahito**
Huh?
**[09:58] Mahito**
Huh?
**[10:00] Mahito**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Takada-chan - "Climax☆JUMPING!"
***SIGN*** °Todo's imagination
**[10:56] Mahito**
*Shit!*
**[10:58] Itadori**
*Black Flash!*
**[11:05] Todo**
Hmph!
**[11:06] Todo**
*It was just for a moment, but I touched him.*
**[11:09] Todo**
*It's a miracle I got off with only this.*
**[11:24] Yuji**
*Leave the rest to me, Todo!*
**[11:27] Yuji**
*Thank you, Todo!*
**[11:32] Mahito**
*Damn it!*
**[11:33] Mahito**
* I can't believe I took another*
* Black Flash dead-on at that moment!*
**[11:36] Mahito**
* That damn gorilla screwed*
* with me until the very end.*
**[11:40] Mahito**
*But now I've finally grasped it.*
**[11:43] Mahito**
*The true essence of my soul! Its true shape!*
**[11:49] Mahito**
Idle Transfiguration...
**[12:03] Mahito**
Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing!
**[12:06] Mahito**
It's a happy birthday,
**[12:10] Mahito**
Itadori!

**[12:18] Yuji**
* This isn't a transformation*
* as just a means, like before.*
**[12:23] Yuji**
*What's different?*
**[12:25] Mahito**
I understood after using Black Flash.
**[12:28] Mahito**
What my true, unbridled soul is.
**[12:32] Yuji**
I'm shocked.
**[12:34] Yuji**
You didn't strike me as the type
to go on a journey of self-discovery.
**[12:38] Mahito**
That's true.
**[12:40] Mahito**
But I'm just starting on the final touches.
**[12:43] Mahito**
After I kill you, I'll finally
be truly born into this world.
**[13:29] Yuji**
*So tough!*
**[13:30] Yuji**
*Its bare body*
**[13:31] Yuji**
*is even harder than* his *was!*
**[13:52] (Flashback) Mahito**
I understood after using Black Flash.
**[13:55] (Flashback) Mahito**
What my true, unbridled soul is.
**[13:59] Yuji**
*Is that what he meant?!*
**[14:09] Yuji**
*This thing has already...*
**[14:22] Yuji**
*become something on a different level*
**[14:25] Yuji**
* than the cursed spirit he was*
* prior to transforming?!*
**[14:59] Yuji**
*If I want to defeat this thing,*
**[15:03] Yuji**
*I'll have to hit him with a Black Flash*
***SIGN*** There is no sorcerer who can unleash a Black Flash at will
**[15:09] Yuji**
*using my maximum cursed energy!*
**[15:26] Mahito**
* Even if I only used it for*
* a moment, getting hit with*
**[15:30] Mahito**
* a Black Flash right after my*
* domain expansion was real bad.*
**[15:47] Mahito**
We're both
**[15:50] Mahito**
still brimming with energy, huh?!
**[16:17] Mahito**
* There is no one who can unleash*
* a Black Flash at will.*
**[16:21] Mahito**
* But something about him convinces*
* me that the current Itadori can.*
**[16:27] Mahito**
*In which case...*
**[16:58] Mahito**
*A time lag?!*
**[17:12] Todo**
Hey, cursed spirit.
**[17:13] Todo**
There's no way you don't understand this.
**[17:17] Todo**
Arms are just decorations.
**[17:20] Todo**
The act of applause
**[17:22] Todo**
is an acclamation of the soul!
**[17:29] Mahito**
*I haven't switched places?!*
**[17:32] Todo**
It's unfortunate.
**[17:34] Todo**
My Boogie Woogie is already dead.
**[17:49] Yuji**
Black Flash!
**[18:23] Mahito**
Not yet!
**[18:25] Mahito**
Not yet!
**[18:32] Mahito**
*My stock of transfigured humans is also out!*
**[18:35] Yuji**
I'll accept it, Mahito.
**[18:39] Yuji**
I am you.
**[18:42] Yuji**
I wanted to reject you.
**[18:45] Yuji**
I wanted to pretend I didn't
understand what you said.
**[18:50] Yuji**
But that's different now.
**[18:52] Yuji**
I'll just kill you.
**[18:54] Yuji**
And if you're ever reborn again as
a new curse, I'll kill you then, too.
**[18:59] Yuji**
You can change your name
and change your appearance,
**[19:01] Yuji**
but I'll still kill you again and again.
**[19:03] Yuji**
I don't need meaning or
a reason for it anymore.
**[19:06] Yuji**
Maybe there will be
some meaning to be found
**[19:09] Yuji**
from my actions several
centuries after I'm dead.
**[19:14] Yuji**
But I'm sure I'm just...
one big cog in the wheel.
**[19:21] Yuji**
And I'll keep on killing curses
until I rust away.
**[19:24] Yuji**
Because that is my role in this war.
**[21:46] Mahito**
Geto!
**[21:48] Geto**
Shall I save you, Mahito?
