Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 18

   

 Summary:

Mai and Maki argue over which one is lower class than the other, but Maki believes they are both at the bottom. Aoi Todo breaks up the argument and leaves with Mai. Nobara learns that Maki has no cursed energy and respects her because she is a powerful jujutsu witch. Meanwhile, Satoru holds a one-on-one meeting with the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High.

Plot:

Nobara appears to be lying unconscious among the rival Zenina sisters. Maki claims that they are both worthless since all Mai can do is charge objects with her cursed energy. Mai argues that having no cursed tech is still better compared to having no cursed energy at all. Maki leaves the argument and asks Nobara if she can stand. Mai claims she won't be able to either, but Nobara suddenly recovers and wrestles Mai to the ground.

They are interrupted when Aoi appears and tells Mai it's time to leave. Aoi says she has to make it in time for Tall Idol Takada's meet and greet in Tokyo. Before they leave, Mai reminds her rivals that they will be fully committed to the Kyoto Goodwill Event.

Afterwards, Nobara asks Maki if it's true that she doesn't have cursed energy. Maki confirms, claiming that she became a jujutsu witch to prove her doubter wrong. Nobara is impressed by Maki's response, saying that she has a lot of respect for Maki, and they leave to see her sister.

Meanwhile, at Kyoto Jujutsu College, Yaga is scheduled to meet the headmaster Yoshinobu Gakuganji. However, in his place comes Satoru Gojo, eager to ask a few questions, despite his rude intrusion. Satoru wants to know more about how the higher ranks in jujutsu fed Yuji to the wolves. He reveals that he was attacked by two special grade curses and reveals that they were able to communicate with sentient intelligence.

Satoru believes that the next generation of jujutsu wizards and cursed spirits will not be limited to a special grade. Before leaving, Satoru warns the old man that he is not the only one who will challenge authority at Jujutsu High, angering Yoshinobu.

A month later in September, three disfigured bodies of high school students are found at the Kinema movie theater in Kawasaki City. Mahito, a cursed spirit familiar with Geto and his group, exits the scene. He is spotted by a human and is surprised to see him. At the same time, just outside the theater, Yuji Itadori arrives to investigate the crime.
