Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 78

   

 Summary:

Suguru decided to reject non-magicians. Shortly after turning to darkness, Suguru is confronted by his best friend, where they are forced to part ways for good.

Plot:

Yaga sensei is tasked with breaking the terrible news about Suguru to Satoru. Neither of them can understand what is happening to their misguided ally, causing Satoru to panic for the first time. Meanwhile in Shinjuku, Shoko is confronted by Suguru while smoking. They talk about the accusations against Suguru in a friendly tone, but Shoko quickly contacts Satoru.

Shortly after, Satoru finds Suguru walking through the crowd and demands an explanation. As Shoko said, he wants to build a world without curses and non-magicians. Not even Suguru's parents were spared, making Satoru question Suguru's morals. Suguru believes that all their deaths have meaning. Satoru claims his goal is pointless, but Suguru believes his friend could do it alone, so it's not impossible. If they could switch places, the impossible could become possible. Suguru decides to leave after confirming that this is the life he has chosen.

Suguru says that Satoru should kill him if he wants to because that also makes sense. As Suguru leaves with the crowd, Satoru starts targeting him with his hollow technique: Purple. However, Satoru is ultimately unable to kill his best friend, allowing Suguru to escape. He later meets with Yaga and reveals that he was unable to take Suguru out. Even though Satoru is the strongest, he realized that he can only save those who are ready to be saved.

In a building that once served as the headquarters of the Time Vessel Association, Suguru arrives before a new congregation made up of remnants of the Star Religious Group and like-minded people. Suguru wishes to speak with them all and serves as a priest who can free people from their curses. This way he can collect money and curses at the same time. There are many opposing voices, so Suguru makes an example of Sonoda by brutally smashing him on stage. The next time he addresses the crowd, he won't be friendly. Instead, he demands that all the "monkeys" obey him.

Elsewhere, Satoru finds young Megumi Fushiguro. Young Megumi questions the strange man, asking why he is looking at him strangely. Satoru looks upset because Megumi looks exactly like Toji.
