Plots

Cursed spirit Jogo is thrilled to learn that his companion Pseudo-Geto possesses a taboo object: the Prison Realm. Geto warns Jogo to calm down due to the increasing heat in the room. One of the waiters at the restaurant notices a murderous aura surrounding Geta, despite being unable to see the curses. He is a responsible man, but he leaves the restaurant out of pure primal fear. Horko accidentally kills the manager and irritates Geto. Jogo makes it worse by burning the remaining people in the building.Jogo asks Geta to measure his strength based on Sukuna's fingers. Geto says he's about eight or nine strong, and the confidence goes straight to Jogo's volcanic head. The curse suggests that he kill Satoru Gojo himself and get the Prison Realm as a reward.Megumi visits Tadashi's mother and admits that he was unsure about saving the prisoners at first. His friends thought otherwise, but were still unable to retrieve Tadashi's body. Megumi takes out Tadashi's name tag and gives it to her mother. He bows and sincerely apologizes for not being able to save Tadashi's life. Megumi returns to school late for training with her peers. Maki, Panda, and Toge focus on training Megumi and Nobara while improving their close combat skills. Meanwhile, Gojo sensei decides it's time to teach Yuji how to perform jujutsu sorcery.Yuji expresses his gratitude for learning jujutsu from the strongest jujutsu wizard. He was too weak to help before and says he wants to be stronger when he reunites with his friends. Satoru uses soda cans as an example of the cursed energy technique vs. The cursed energy is used to blast the can, but the cursed technique focuses that energy to twist the can. Humans' ability to use jujutsu is based entirely on innate talent, of which Yuji has none. In time, Gojo sensei hopes that he can teach Yuji to master Sukun's techniques. For now, Satoru focuses on teaching Yuji to use cursed energy to improve his physical offense.Yuji had previously managed to channel the cursed energy when she faced the cursed spirit of the womb. He is unable to do so now because he lacks the emotional control necessary to use it. While Megumi continues her physical training with Maki, Gojo hopes to help Yuji control his emotions by watching movies.
