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.

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.
[02:42] Junpei
Turn off your phone!
[02:43] Sayama
Hello?
[02:44] Sayama
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,
[11:18] Nanami

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.
[13:37] Yuji
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.
[14:18] (Flashback) Gojo
In other words, you're creating
two impacts with every strike.

[14:45] (Flashback) Gojo
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...
[15:15] Nanami
Now I see why that man brought him to me.
[15:19] Cursea

[15:21] Nanami
Oh, pardon me. I'll end you now.

[15:35] Nanami
I took a photo of my opponent.

Huh? I thought cursed spirits
didn't show up in photos.

Please listen calmly.

What we've been fighting...

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.

The fact that they often categorize

as potential apparitions makes it feel

But people constantly fear more

have always feared the earth,
the forests, and the oceans.

Because the cursed energy directed
toward those is far too big,

This should help us narrow down

No, it's still only to some extent.

While I continue investigating this matter,
I'd like you to handle a different task.

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.

Curse user?

Speaking of which, I don't know

You already know the location of the culprit,
don't you? And not just "to some extent."

If the culprit had wanted, he could have
left the scene without leaving any residuals.
