Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 73

   

 Summary:

When an escort mission turns into a complete disaster, Suguru fights to avenge everyone. He pulls out some of the strongest curses he has to offer, but are they a match for Toji?

Plot:

Most of the barriers protecting Tokyo Jujutsu High simply hide it. As long as one knows their location in advance, one could easily find the Star Tombs and the Cursed Warehouse. Jujutsu wizards are busy this time of year, so Toji is an invisible man because he has no cursed energy. However, once he is holding a cursed instrument that is imbued with a cursed energy that makes him recognizable.

Suguru tries to attack Toji with his Rainbow Dragon and the assassin fires more rounds at Suguru as he continues to speak. Toji manages to avoid Suguru's curse and continues to explain how he managed to infiltrate the school. He swallowed a cursed spirit that he uses to store his curse tools, allowing him to remain invisible despite this.

Suguru interrupts Toji and demands that he stop talking. He knows that revealing certain information can improve his heavenly restriction. What he doesn't know is how he tracked them to the entrance to the tombs. No remnants were left behind, but Toji used more practical tracking methods to track them. His lack of cursed energy sharpens his five senses to a peak, allowing him to detect even cursed spirits. Suguru asks about Kuroi, but Toji isn't even sure if she's dead or not.

The Rainbow Dragon attacks again, but this time Toji easily cuts it to pieces with his cursed katana-like tool. Suguru is shocked as the Rainbow Dragon has the toughest skin among his cursed spirits. Toji is unimpressed by Suguru's technique, but is suddenly trapped inside the Second Spirit's Innate Domain. This reluctantly places Toji in a pact to keep the domain until the question is answered. An imaginary vengeful ghost asks if she's pretty, but Toji replies that she's not his type.

The Vengeful Spirit's domain disappears, allowing Toji to see the scissors floating around him. They are close to his body, ready to cut him open, but Toji effortlessly deflects all the blades with the Inverted Spear of Heaven. Suguru comes closer and tries to absorb Toji's inventory curse, but it somehow rejects him. Toji pulls out a second blade from his curse and slashes both Suguru and his curse, defeating them both in an instant.

Toji puts Suguru on the ground and incapacitates him, claiming that he would kill him, but if he dies, he might release all the cursed spirits he has taken on. Still unimpressed, Toji tells Suguru to thank his parents for blessing him. For all their blessings and abilities, they all lost to a simple monkey who can't even use jujutsu. Toji's monologue reminds him that Megumi means blessing, and that's how he named his son.

At the same time in the foothills of Jujutsu High. Satoru's hand twitches and shows signs of life.
