[00:06] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    He was totally ogling my breasts!
[00:12] (Flashback) Nishimura
    She does have a huge rack,
    so they bounce when she runs.
[00:16] (Flashback) Honda
    I get why you'd do it, Yoshino-chan.
[00:20] Junpei
    If there was a button that
    would make everyone I hate die,
[00:23] Junpei
    I probably wouldn't push it.
[00:25] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    Gross!
[00:26] Junpei
    But if there was a button that would
    make everyone who hated me die,
[00:26] (Flashback) Sayama
    Shut up, you guys.
[00:35] Junpei
    I'd push it without hesitation.

    Excuse me!
[00:49] Junpei
    One adult for Human Earthworm 3.
[00:53] Workera
    That'll be 1,800 yen.
[00:54] Junpei
    Yeah, here.
[01:01] Workera
    The show will be starting soon.
[01:05] Mad Doctor
    I served as a doctor for many years,
    working to save lives.
[01:09] Sayama
    And it turned out he had 50,000 on him!
    A middle school brat!
[01:11] Mad Doctor
    As I was saving countless lives, I found
    myself arriving at a particular question.
[01:13] Nishimura
    For real?
[01:14] Junpei
    This sucks.
[01:14] Honda
    That's awesome.
[01:17] Mad Doctor
    Where does a person's life—
    their very soul—actually reside?
[01:17] Nishimura
    So? What'd you do next?
[01:17] Junpei
    High schoolers shouldn't
    skip school to watch movies.
[01:19] Sayama
    I took it all.
[01:21] Nishimura
    Man, so mean!
[01:21] Junpei
    Not that I can talk.
[01:23] Mad Doctor
    That's when I realized it!
[01:26] Junpei
    This seriously sucks.
[01:27] Mad Doctor
    The shape of one's soul creates the body!
[01:29] Honda
    Then today's your treat!
[01:30] Junpei
    I can't hear the movie at all.
[01:31] Sayama
    Screw that.
[01:32] Mad Doctor
    So I began conducting research on the soul.
[01:33] Sayama
    We're splitting it even, obviously!
[01:33] Junpei
    There are always people like that,
    even if they vary to some degree.
[01:35] Mad Doctor
    All alone, in this lab deep in the mountains...
[01:38] (Flashback) Sayama
    So, were you looking?
[01:40] (Flashback) Junpei
    I wasn't.
[01:41] (Flashback) Sayama
    Then are you saying Tsubasa's lying to us?
[01:45] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    He was definitely looking at them!
[01:48] (Flashback) Nishimura
    You're nuts, man!
[01:49] (Flashback) Honda
    Oh, there's a half-off coupon.
[01:51] (Flashback) Nishimura
    Huh? To where?
[01:52] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    Hey! Teach him a lesson first!
[01:56] Junpei
    Shit.
[01:56] Junpei
    That woman's just using me to see
    where she stands, and she's enjoying it!
[02:01] (Flashback) Sayama
    You were looking, then.
[02:05] Junpei
    Damn it.
[02:07] Junpei
    I'll tell her!
[02:08] Junpei
    I'll tell her!
[02:09] Junpei
    I'll tell her!
[02:10] Junpei
    I'll tell her!
[02:12] (Flashback) Junpei
    You're not as cute as you
    think you are, Tsubasa-san.
[02:18] (Flashback) Junpei
    These three know that, too.
[02:20] (Flashback) Junpei
    The only reason they're fawning over you is
[02:24] (Flashback) Junpei
    because they think you'll let them bang you.
[02:28] Mad Doctor
    Now to create the perfect human being!
[02:30] Sayama
    No way.
[02:31] Sayama
    She won't let us bang her at all.
[02:33] Sayama
    She's no good anymore.
[02:34] Junpei
    Stop talking.
[02:36] Victim
    S-Stop it!
[02:39] Victim
    No!
[02:40] Sayama
    It's Tsubasa.

    Turn off your phone!
[02:43] Sayama
    Hello?

    What's up?
[02:55] Sayama
    Right now? I'm free.
[02:57] Mahito
    You three...
[02:58] Sayama
    Well...
[02:59] Mahito
    need to mind your manners.
[03:05] Mad Doctor
    There's no need to worry.

    Who were those guys?!
[06:22] Junior Detective
    Why were they on the scene before forensics?!
[06:26] Junior Detective
    One of them was just a kid, too!
[06:28] Senior Detective
    I don't know the details, either.
[06:30] Senior Detective
    But you saw those stiffs, didn't you?
[06:36] Senior Detective
    That's not something a person could do.
[06:42] Senior Detective
    Just pretend you never saw it...
[06:44] Senior Detective
    If you want to reach retirement
    in this line of work, that is.
[06:49] Nanami
    Can you see it?
[06:51] Nanami
    This is the residual taint of cursed energy.
[06:54] Yuji
    No, I can't see anything.
[06:55] Nanami
    That's because you're not trying to see it.
[06:57] Nanami
    We typically see curses as
    if it's perfectly natural to.
[07:02] Nanami
    When a cursed technique is used,
    it leaves traces behind.
[07:05] Nanami
    That's what residuals are.
[07:06] Nanami
    But residuals are much
    fainter than cursed spirits.
[07:09] Nanami
    So focus your vision and look closely.
[07:16] Yuji
    Oh!
[07:17] Yuji
    I can see them!
[07:18] Nanami
    Of course you can.
[07:19] Nanami
    A proper sorcerer can sense them
    before seeing them.
[07:26] Yuji
    Couldn't you give me a little
    more praise or something?
[07:29] Nanami
    I don't praise or disparage anyone.
[07:32] Nanami
    I adhere to facts and judge on that basis.
[07:34] Nanami
    That's who I am.
[07:36] Nanami
    There was a time when I mistakenly
    believed society operated the same way,
[07:40] Nanami
    but enough about that.
[07:43] Yuji
    Let's follow them.
[07:44] Yuji
    Yeah! Let's go all-out!
[07:46] Nanami
    No, where moderate effort
    will suffice, use moderate effort.
[07:49] Nanami
    Let's go.
[07:52] Yuji
    We're just not clicking.
[07:54] Yuji
    I'm not getting anything from him.
[07:57] (Flashback) Gojo
    I won't be able to lead you this time.
[08:00] (Flashback) Gojo
    But don't worry. I've called
    in a friend you can trust.
[08:06] (Flashback) Gojo
    This is Nanami Kento,
    the ex-salaryman jujutsu sorcerer!
[08:09] (Flashback) Nanami
    Please don't call me that.
[08:11] (Flashback) Gojo
    Plenty of jujutsu sorcerers are oddballs,
[08:14] (Flashback) Gojo
    but since he worked for a company,
    he's got a good head on his shoulders.
[08:17] (Flashback) Gojo
    He's a first-grade sorcerer, too.
[08:19] (Flashback) Nanami
    I'm sure no one would want to
    hear you saying that about them.
[08:23] Yuji
    A lot of these people wear sunglasses
    and stuff to hide their eyes.
[08:26] (Flashback) Yuji
    Ex-salaryman? Why didn't you become
    a jujutsu sorcerer from the start?
[08:31] (Flashback) Nanami
    We should greet each other first.
[08:33] (Flashback) Nanami
    Nice to meet you, Itadori-kun.
[08:35] (Flashback) Yuji
    Oh, yes, nice to meet you, too.
[08:38] (Flashback) Nanami
    I studied at Jujutsu High,
    and one thing I learned...
[08:41] (Flashback) Nanami
    is that jujutsu sorcerers are shit!
[08:43] (Flashback) ---
    Huh?
[08:45] (Flashback) Nanami
    Then I worked at your typical company,
    and one thing I learned
[08:49] (Flashback) Nanami
    is that work is shit!
[08:51] (Flashback) Yuji
    Really?!
[08:52] (Flashback) Nanami
    If both are equally shit,
    I'll take the one I'm more suited to.
[08:56] (Flashback) Nanami
    That's the only reason I came back.
[08:58] (Flashback) Yuji
    That's dark.
[09:00] (Flashback) Gojo
    Right?
[09:01] (Flashback) Nanami
    Itadori-kun, please don't believe
    I'm of the same mindset as Gojo-san.
[09:06] (Flashback) Nanami
    I do trust and have faith in him,
[09:12] (Flashback) Nanami
    but I do not respect him!
[09:14] (Flashback) Gojo
    Huh?!
[09:15] (Flashback) Nanami
    I hate the way the higher-ups do things,
[09:17] (Flashback) Nanami
    but I believe in rules and regulations.
[09:20] (Flashback) Nanami
    This conversation is dragging on.
[09:22] (Flashback) Nanami
    In short, I don't recognize
    you as a sorcerer, either.
[09:26] (Flashback) Nanami
    Even if you do carry the
    bomb we know as Sukuna,
[09:29] (Flashback) Nanami
    please make an effort to
    prove that you are useful.
[09:36] (Flashback) Yuji
    Lately, I've been forced to realize
    how weak and useless I am.
[09:44] (Flashback) Yuji
    But I'll become strong.
[09:46] (Flashback) Yuji
    I have to be strong, or I won't
    be able to choose how I die.
[09:52] (Flashback) Yuji
    I'll make you recognize me,
    even without that advice.
[09:55] (Flashback) Yuji
    Just give me a bit more time.
[09:59] (Flashback) Nanami
    Say that to the higher-ups, not me.
[10:02] (Flashback) Yuji
    Oh, right.
[10:03] (Flashback) Nanami
    Frankly, I don't care!
[10:05] (Flashback) Yuji
    Okay, I get it!
[10:09] Yuji
    There wasn't anything on the
    surveillance cameras, right?
[10:13] Nanami
    Right. There was only one young
    man aside from the victims.
[10:16] Yuji
    Then a cursed spirit was behind it?
[10:19] Nanami
    Well, most likely.
[10:23] Nanami
    There's a small chance the
    young man could have done it,
[10:26] Nanami
    but identifying him is the police's—
[10:32] Cursea
    Lu, lu, lu, lunchbox!
[10:37] Nanami
    Stop.
[10:38] Nanami
    I'll take care of this one.
[10:41] Nanami
    You handle the one over there.
[10:45] Curseb
    Good detergent!
[10:49] Nanami
    If you decide you can't beat it, please call me.
[10:52] Yuji
    Aren't you taking me a bit too lightly here?
[10:54] Nanami
    It's not a matter of underestimating you or not.
[10:57] Nanami
    I am an adult, and you are a child.
[11:01] Nanami
    I have a duty to prioritize
    your life over my own.
[11:03] Cursea
    Lu, lu, lu...
[11:06] Yuji
    I'd rather you underestimate me
    than treat me like a kid.
[11:09] Nanami
    You've faced several life-or-death situations.
[11:12] Nanami
    But that does not make you an adult.
[11:15] Nanami
    Finding more fallen-out hairs on your pillow,

    My cursed technique allows me to forcibly
    create a weak point on any opponent.
[11:54] Nanami
    Seven to three.
[11:56] Nanami
    Striking the point at that ratio
[11:58] Nanami
    when you draw a line along the
    target's length causes a critical hit.
[12:03] Nanami
    That allows me to deal a fair amount of
    damage to those ranked higher than me,
[12:09] Nanami
    and if their cursed energy is weak,
    I can cut them in two, even with a blunt blade.
[12:15] Nanami
    Are you listening, Itadori-kun?
[12:17] Yuji
    Huh?! You were talking to me?!
[12:21] Electricvoice
    Home run!
[12:25] Yuji
    Ow...
[12:26] Yuji
    Is it okay to reveal something like that?
[12:29] Nanami
    It's no problem to reveal that
    technique to that opponent.
[12:33] Nanami
    Also, all the better if
    revealing it misleads them.
[12:35] Yuji
    I want to focus on the curse,
    but it feels like I should be listening.
[12:40] Nanami
    There is merit to it.
[12:41] Nanami
    "Revealing one's hand" is a pact that increases
    the effectiveness of one's technique.
[12:46] Nanami
    Like so.
[13:14] Nanami
    That's all from me.
[13:17] Yuji
    Wow.
[13:19] Yuji
    Not only is the blade he used all wrapped up,
[13:23] Yuji
    but he used the back of it to
    slice right through that thing.
[13:27] Nanami
    Itadori-kun, behind you.
[13:29] Yuji
    Huh?
[13:35] Nanami
    I don't like you looking away.

    Who's the one distracting me here?!

[13:55] (Flashback) Gojo
    Your cursed energy comes
    up a little slow, huh?
[13:58] (Flashback) Yuji
    Ow...
[14:00] (Flashback) Yuji
    Slow?
[14:01] (Flashback) Gojo
    Your cursed energy can't keep up
    with your explosive power.
[14:05] (Flashback) Gojo
    You're still not good at amassing
    cursed energy, so it tends to lag behind.
[14:09] (Flashback) Gojo
    But that actually creates an
    irregular flow of cursed energy.
[14:14] (Flashback) Gojo
    The moment after your fist strikes,
    your cursed energy slams in.

    In other words, you're creating
    two impacts with every strike.

    This'll be a great weapon for you.
[14:50] Nanami
    His raw strength is superhuman?
[14:53] Nanami
    The initial blow has little cursed energy,
[14:55] Nanami
    but it reaches 120% of
    an average sorcerer's power.
[15:00] Nanami
    Then the real blow of cursed energy flows in.
[15:03] Nanami
    It must be unimaginably unpleasant
    for those struck by it.
[15:07] Nanami
    He has room to grow, too.
[15:09] Nanami
    If he can learn to imbue 100% of his
    cursed energy into 100% of his martial arts...

    Now I see why that man brought him to me.

    didn't show up in photos.

    They're human.

    No, I guess I should call them former humans.
[15:54] Ieiri
    They're the same as the three from the theater.
[15:56] Ieiri
    The structure of their bodies was
    forcibly altered by a cursed technique.
[16:00] Nanami
    If that was all, I would
    have noticed at the start.
[16:03] Nanami
    The two we fought were full of
    cursed energy, like cursed spirits.
[16:08] Ieiri
    You'll have to ask the culprit about
    their cursed technique to explain that.
[16:12] Ieiri
    Though there is evidence that their
    brain stems were tampered with,
[16:15] Ieiri
    most likely to create a state of confusion
    and impaired consciousness.
[16:19] Ieiri
    If they can tamper with the brain,
[16:21] Ieiri
    it might be possible for them to modify
    someone to be able to use cursed energy.
[16:25] Ieiri
    The relationship between the brain
    and cursed energy is still a black box to us.
[16:30] Ieiri
    Oh, right, is Itadori listening?
[16:32] Yuji
    Oh, yeah.
[16:35] Ieiri
    To sum it up, these guys died of shock
    from having their bodies modified.

[19:24] Nanami
    This should help us narrow down
    the culprit's hideout to some extent.
[19:27] Yuji
    Aw yeah! Are we storming in?!
[19:29] Nanami
    No, it's still only to some extent.
[19:32] Nanami
    While I continue investigating this matter,
    I'd like you to handle a different task.
[19:37] Nanami
    This is the boy who was at
    the theater, Yoshino Junpei.
[19:41] Nanami
    Apparently, he goes to the same
    high school as the victims.
[19:46] Nanami
    Based on the surveillance footage
    and how he carried himself,
[19:49] Nanami
    I believed it was unlikely
    he could be a curse user.
[19:54] Nanami
    However, if he's related to the
    victims, that changes things.
[19:58] Yuji
    Curse user?
[19:59] Nanami
    An evil jujutsu sorcerer.
[20:02] Nanami
    I've entrusted the process to Ijichi-kun, so I'd
    like you two to investigate Yoshino Junpei.
[20:08] Yuji
    Sure!
[20:09] Yuji
    Speaking of which, I don't know
    any assistants other than you.
[20:13] Ijichi
    Well, I'm the only one who knows
    you're still alive, so by necessity...
[20:19] Yuji
    Makes sense.
[20:21] Yuji
    Let's go!
[20:28] Ijichi
    You already know the location of the culprit,
    don't you? And not just "to some extent."
[20:33] Nanami
    Of course.
[20:34] Nanami
    If the culprit had wanted, he could have
    left the scene without leaving any residuals.
[20:40] Nanami
    We're being lured in once again.
[20:44] Nanami
    Weighing the risk of storming in alone
    against the risk of taking Itadori-kun with me,
[20:48] Nanami
    I simply chose the former.
[20:50] Nanami
    He's still a child, after all.
[20:53] Yuji
    Nanami-sensei!
[20:56] Ijichi
    Itadori-kun?
[20:57] Yuji
    I forgot to say something.
[20:59] Yuji
    Be careful, okay?
[21:02] Nanami
    Itadori-kun...
[21:04] Nanami
    I'm not a teacher, so please
    don't call me "Sensei."
[21:07] Yuji
    Nanamin, then!
[21:08] Nanami
    I will slap you.
[21:14] Ijichi
    There he is.
[21:15] Yuji
    Huh? Casual clothes?
[21:17] Ijichi
    It looks like he hasn't
    attended school for some time.

    Nanami! Let's go out together!
[23:20] Nanami
    No, thank you.
[23:22] Gojo
    No, s-seriously, I have something
    important to talk to you about.
[23:24] Nanami
    Oh, how awful.
[23:26] Gojo
    I haven't said anything yet!
