Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 76

   

 Summary:

After a failed escort, Satoru and Suguru question the importance of being a wizard. A year later, Satoru improves his abilities even further and becomes known as the strongest. At the same time, Suguru begins to self-isolate and constantly questions his morality when it comes to non-magicians.

Plot:

Suguru heads to the House of Stars and is surprised to find Toji's inventory curse injured on the ground. He walks in to find Satoru holding Riko's covered corpse, surrounded by worshipers who are applauding her death. Shocked by how much Satoru has changed, Suguru even questions if he is the same person. Satoru asks if Suguru feels like killing all the non-magicians around them because in his current state of mind he doesn't think he feels anything. Suguru replies that it's pointless because whoever is in charge has fled.

Now that wizards are still involved, the Time Canister Association can no longer talk itself out of this situation. As a group that initially has problems, the Star Religious Group disintegrates over time. Satoru questions if there even has to be a reason, but Suguru assures him that there is, especially with jujutsu wizards.

A year later, in August 2007, Satoru demonstrates his ability to automatically activate and use infinity to Suguru and Shoko. It now has an auto-targeting capability for jujutsu that can distinguish between mass speed, shape and intensity of fused energy to detect the danger of any approaching object. Now Satoru can almost always have Limitless active with minimal resources. Normally this would fry his brain, but using the Reverse Cursed Technique keeps him fresh at the same time.

As Satoru tells them about his other upgrades, Suguru can't help but notice that Satoru himself has become "the strongest". Now that he can complete any mission alone, Suguru will also complete other tasks alone. With frequent disasters in recent years, curses spawned all over Japan, making it a busy summer for wizards. The endless cycle of exorcism and consumption through his curse spirit manipulation began to wear on Suguru. He begins to lose his way to the hideous evil of mankind. He wants to fulfill his duty as a wizard, but Suguru can't help but think of all those star followers as monkeys.

After taking a shower, Suguru waits in the room alone to think until Yu Haibara comes to keep him company. The next day, they tell him about their distant mission and discuss souvenirs until Suguru decides to ask Haibara if he doesn't mind being a wizard. Haibara replies that he's not the type to think about hard issues, but putting his all into something he can help with gives him a great feeling. Suguru agrees and suddenly the two are confronted by a woman who asks what kind of girls they are.
