Sunday, May 28, 2023
Summary:
Aoi Todo and Mei Mei submitted a recommendation to promote Tokyo Jujutsu High School's first and second years to 1st class wizards. Meanwhile, Nobara meets a young girl named Yuko and learns of her relationship with Yuji.
Plot:
Anyone who receives a referral from two or more 1st-level wizards will accompany another 1st-level wizard on multiple missions. Based on the result of these quests, the recommended wizard will be considered a semi-grade 1 rank and will receive another mission to complete independently. The results of this mission affect the decision to grant or deny Tier 1 status.
While playing ping pong with Mei Mei, Aoi shares that she believes Yuji will take the referral and go on missions to increase the chances of him running into Sukuna's fingers. Aoi serves and asks Mei Mei what this could mean. He returns and replies that it means everything but Aoi's score and claims that he and Yuji will work on missions together. However, Mei Mei reveals to him that the one accompanying the wizards on their missions cannot be the same person who made the recommendation. This crushes Aoi and allows Mei Mei to finish the game and leave.
In Tokyo, Ijichi takes Megumi back home while Yuji goes to see a movie and Nobara goes into town for designer clothes. In the town of Nobara, he encounters a girl named Yuko Ozawa. He shows Nobara his high school graduation photo. Yuko was much heavier back then and the picture also shows her standing next to Yuji. That day, Yuko plucks up the courage to ask him for a photo and basically confesses to Nobara that she has a crush on Yuji.
Nobara calls Ijichi and asks him to drop Megumi off. He wants to know what she will have to say and denies any hint of feelings towards Yuji herself. Megumi comes in upset that she's in a restaurant and Nobara quickly explains the situation. Intrigued, Megumi sits down with them and tells them that she doubts Yuji has a girlfriend based on how he moved from Sendai and the posters of girls in his room. Yuko asks what kind of girls Yuji likes and Megumi remembers him mentioning something about tall girls.
Excited, Nobara and Yuko believe he meets the criteria and call Yuji to the restaurant. He comes quickly and surprises them. Yuko doesn't expect to recognize her, but he does immediately. Yuko remembers hearing him talking to the other boys about how the girl he likes the most is her. Even though she was considered fat, Yuji appreciated how gracefully she carried herself.
Yuko appreciated that Yuji saw something in her that she didn't even notice in herself. However, now she feels like she's just shallow like everyone else except Yuji who judged her. So they leave without telling Yuji the truth, but Nobara got her information. Apparently, the idea of Yuji getting into a relationship before Nobara annoys her.
