Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 74

   

 Summary:

Toji ends up being the one to complete his mission and deliver Rik's corpse to the Time Vessel Association. After completing his task, Toji leaves, only to find that his fight is not over. A dead man walks, Satoru Gojo is waiting for him.

Plot:

At the Time Vessel Association Headquarters: House of the Star Children, Toji delivers the corpse of the Star Plasma Vessel to the direct representative of the Star Religious Group: Shigeru Sonoda. He confirms her death and says he will pay Toji extra for his trouble.

Master Tengen began spreading Japanese Buddhism in the Nara period and preached what became the basis of jujutsu wizardry. The worlds of jujutsu and religion do not coincide, and from this difference the Association of Time Vessels was born. This makes jujutsu wizards unable to harm the party, while non-curse users are perfect candidates to work for them. The Time Vessel Association could not afford an impure fusion to occur, and they are ready to fall alongside the star if necessary.

Toji thinks Shigeru is crazy and asks the middle man why he didn't kill the maid. Instead of taking advantage of Kuroi's death, he created a false sense of security from the rescue. This helped Toji, who the middleman believes owes a little debt. They used a private jet to transport the hostages to Okinawa, which both Toji and the middle man think is hilarious. Toji asks him to go out for a meal, but the man says he would only associate with Toji in business or hell.

As Toji leaves the premises, he encounters a revived Satoru Gojo. He is very surprised to see someone he recently killed. Satoru reveals that he used the Reverse Cursed Technique to heal himself and claims that Toji lost because he didn't cut off his head. The overuse of Six Eyes to process Limitless as well as the Reverse Cursed Technique burdened Satoru's brain, causing him to become delirious with insane behavior. He starts rambling about how he learned to pull off the reverse cursed technique. At the very brink of death, Satoru experienced and understood the core of the cursed energy.

Insulted at the thought of being lost, Toji pulls out the Inverted Spear of Heaven and claims that the battle is about to begin. Satoru is excited, totally agreeing with Toji. Toji tries to powerbomb Satoru and slashes at him several times. However, Satoru is able to avoid them and manages to get behind Toji, levitating in the air. Toji turns to face him in time, but Gojo learns to flow the reversed cursed energy into the Limitless technique to successfully unleash Cursed Technique Reversal: Red.

The explosive repulsive force sends Toji flying several hundred meters. As Satoru proudly floats with a maddened grin on his face, Toji acknowledges that his young opponent is a monster.
