Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 71

   

 Summary:

Toji Fushiguro finally appears and makes his move to assassinate the star plasma vessel. First, he must defeat the child prodigy of the Gojo family. Satoru believes he can hold off the Sorcerer Killer while Suguru completes their mission, but Toji has a surprise in store.

Plot:

Satoru gets to know Toji a little because he once went to see the little boy Gojo when he was a child. It was a big deal and the first and last to notice Toji's presence behind them. He waited until Suguru had worn himself down before striking and stabbed him from behind by surprise. Satoru forces him into the air and Suguru invokes his giant man-eating marsupial curse to eat the Wizard Slayer.

Suguru rushes to his friends' side, but Satoru assures him that his wish is not too strict. He infused it with cursed energy to reduce any further damage. Satoru asks Suguru to take Rik to Master Tengen's place while he takes care of the killer. He, Riko, and Kuroi leave the area as Toji cuts his way out of the giant curse and exorcizes it.

.

Toji looks around at the star plasma vessel and claims that it's getting rusty since he didn't kill Satoru in one hit. Satoru taunts Toji and says that the reward has been revoked, but Toji reveals that he is the one who took it down. He finds it funny that they went to Okinawa and adds that he had to create an opening with the illusion of goals using a timeout. No wizards from Gojo's side were killed, but Toji was still able to get him to deactivate his cursed technique.

Satoru unleashes on Toji's Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue and sends him flying using a magnetic attraction field. However, Toji is fast enough to avoid the technique. This makes Satoru realize that Toji has zero cursed energy, meaning he uses nothing but innate physical prowess to fight. Satoru can't read his movements, but once he advances, he can knock Toji away. He realizes that his opponent knows about the Limitless technique and probably has a plan.

Toji disappears into the surrounding buildings and Satoru cannot sense him without the cursed energy. He decides to clear the area of ​​all possible blind spots with Cursed Technique Lapse - Maximum Cursed Energy Output: Blue. A jujutsu student believes his enemy may be hiding in the woods and is surprised when a swarm of toadstools appears. He believes they were held in the same cursed spirit that kept Toji's weapons in, and Toji's plan might be related to the cursed tool he pulled from it.

With his view once again blocked by this fake chaff grenade, Satoru plans to use Blue again until he realizes that Toji could have left and gone straight for Rik. While Satoru is distracted with that thought in his mind, Toji suddenly appears behind him. Satoru notices this in time, but his Six Eyes recognize the alien cursed energy flowing from Toji's cursed instrument. This puts Satoru on the defensive and seals his fate. Toji stabs Satoru in the neck with a special cursed tool: the Inverted Spear of Heaven. Has the ability to force all cursed techniques to stop.
