Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 16

   

Summary:

Jog's allies rescue him from his precarious situation and he returns to his mysterious leader: Mahita. Meanwhile, students from Kyoto Jujutsu High School arrive to taunt their rival students.

Plot:

Pseudo-Geto and Hanami watch from the cliff and decide if they want to save Jogo or not. Geto refuses to be seen by anyone from Jujutsu High. He says that Hanami can do it if he wishes, but he's not sure if the cursed spirits feel any kindness towards him. Hanami leaves after saying something in another language that irritates Geto.

Satoru tries to interrogate Jogo, but to no avail. Suddenly, Satoru is nearly hit by a large spike. It breaks through the ground and grows a flower garden that distracts the shamans long enough for Hanami to rush in and save Jogo. A cursed wooden monster appears in the garden and attacks Yuji. Satoru saves his student, but the other curses manage to escape.

Satoru is amazed that the cursed spirit was able to hide its presence and claims that things are about to get fun. He tells Yuji that he wants his students to be strong enough to defeat such curses.

Gojo sensei plans to continue training Yuji before eventually embarking on challenging missions. They then return to the exchange event, which Yuji still knows nothing about.

Meanwhile, Kiyotaka Ijichi meets with Principal Yaga, but he is upset by Satoru's absence. Geto meets his companions in another domain and the other two are close behind. Everyone plans to do their best to seal Satoru on October 31st in Shibuya.

While Megumi and Nobara run errands for Maki, she and Panda discuss the situation regarding the Higher Ups and Jujutsu High after the cursed womb incident. They know that their rivals from Kyoto are unlikely to come to the meeting, but they still know that these guys can still come because they love to talk trash.

One of them is Maki's sister, Mai Zenin, and the other is third year, Aoi Todo. They both insult Yuji, who is still presumed dead. The first-year students from Tokyo ignore the obvious baiting of their rivals. Aoi steps forward and prepares to fight, determined to see if they are worthy replacements for Okkotsu.
