Yuji stops Junpei and convinces him to cease fighting. Just then, Mahito arrives, who blocks Yuji and turns Junpei into a monster so that he can fight Yuji, trying to force the boy to rely on Sukuna. However, Sukuna refuses to heal Junpei and both curses laugh at Yuji. Junpei dies and Yuji taps into his hatred by hitting Mahito, who speculates that Yuji can sense souls by sharing his body with Sukuna. Nanami joins the battle before Yuji is defeated. Yuji and Nanami fight Mahito and win thanks to Sukuna's interference. Mahito returns to his allies and devises a new plan to revive Sukuna. Meanwhile, students from Tokyo and Kyoto prepare for the exchange meeting, and Gojo reveals to his students that Yuji is alive. While the Tokyo team thinks about how to incorporate Yuji, the Kyoto team plans to kill him. Meanwhile, Gojo meets with Utahime to discuss a possible mole within the witchcraft schools. The event begins and the Tokyo team is immediately attacked by Aoi Todo, the strongest sorcerer of the Kyoto school. Yuji steps forward to face him alone, but not even his strength is enough to overcome Aoi's fighting prowess.
