Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 70

   

Summary: 

Satoru, Suguru, and Riko track down and rescue Kuroi from members of the Okinawa Time Canister Association. They decide to spend the rest of their time resting while waiting for the reward to time out. When the group finally reaches Jujutsu High to complete the escort mission, a surprise awaits the prodigy from the Gojo family.

Plot:

Suguru apologizes to Riko and Suguru for abandoning Kuroi regardless of her importance to the enemy.

Satoru believes that their enemies will try to get the business. He knows they have the upper hand and plans to coordinate with his opponents to save Kuroi. Riko refuses because she hasn't had time to say goodbye to her yet and is worried that the merger will happen sooner.

Assuming that the enemy will contact them soon, Satoru agrees to bring Riko with him as he does not fear or reduce Kuroi's chances of survival. The kidnappers demand Okinawa as a rendezvous point, where Satoru, Suguru, and Amanai are able to rescue Kuroi and arrest the kidnappers. They decide to enjoy themselves and hit the beach before finally going to Jujutsu High later. The next day, the Amanai reward will be canceled and hopefully the escort will be completed.

On the beach, Kuroi apologizes for being captured by a non-wizard member of the Time Vessel Association. Suguru shares the blame with her, explaining that it was because of their abilities that they were able to travel safely on the plane. He wonders why Okinawa was chosen as the meeting place and Kuroi suggests that maybe they attack the airport. Jujutsu High took precautions and sent Yu Haibara and Kento Nanami to the first years to guard the premises.

Against the always negative Nanami is Haibara's optimistic attitude. While the two are devoted to their duty, Satoru plays with Riko and the others on the beach. He decides to leave Okinawa tomorrow instead to avoid interactions with other curse users. Suguru worries that Satoru's cursed technique is straining his body, but Satoru assures Suguru that everything is fine with his presence. Haibara and Nanami are "excited" to find out they have to stay one more day. That night, Riko enjoys the food and the aquarium with everyone.

On the final day of the escort, Riko successfully reaches the foot of Tokoyo Jujutsu High four hours after her reward was picked. They go through a series of torii gates and put them in the barrier of Jujutsu High. When the mission is almost done, Satoru deactivates his technique. However, he is suddenly stabbed from behind by Toji Fushiguro. Satoru asks if he knows the man from somewhere, but Toji tells him not to worry about remembering some guy's name.
