Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 45

   

 Summary:

The goodwill event is interrupted by the appearance of both cursed spirits and curse users. It forms a curtain around an area built specifically to keep Gojo out. Meanwhile, Megumi, Toge, and Nortoshi confront Hanami, who claims to be the embodiment of the planet's wrath.

Plot:

Inside the viewing room where both the Tokyo and Kyoto staff are located, all the talismans are suddenly burned by Tokyo Red. This is the default color if a third party casts associated curses.

Gojo makes fun of it, but the other wizards realize that there is an intruder on campus. While Yaga goes to check on Master Tengen's barrier, Gojo, Gakuganji and Utahime go to rescue the students. Mei Mei is tasked with staying in the room and using the crows to find the students.

At the same time, the Juzo curse user casts a curtain over Tokyo High Jujutsu. Gojo and the others are unable to make it before the curtain is fully formed.

Gojo plans to tear the curtain. However, this curtain was made specifically to keep Gojo out at the cost of allowing all other wizards in. Gojo believes there is a curse user inside with a considerable amount of information about Jujutsu High. Gakuganji and Utahime head inside to save the students from danger.

Megumi recognizes Hanami as the cursed spirit that attacked Gojo. Noritoshi notices a curtain surrounding them, and Toge suggests they quickly contact Gojo. However, just as Megumi is about to call, Hanami quickly attacks.

Toge stops Hanami's movements long enough for Noritoshi to attack, but his Slicing Exorcism does little damage to the special grade. Nue hits Hanami from above, and Megumi follows up by slashing the curse's legs with her sword.

Hanami begins to speak and the boys understand the meaning of his words despite the foreign language. Hanami claims he wants to protect the planet from humans and asks the foolish children to stop fighting. He believes that the planet needs time without humans and declares that those before him can become sages by death.
