Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 90

   

 Summary:

Pseudo-Geto's plan to seal off Satoru Gojo moves into its final phase. Confronted by his dead best friend about killing himself, Satoru learns the shocking truth and falls into the clutches of the prison empire.

Plot:

The Prison Realm is the last remnant of the Buddhist monk Genshin. It is a living barrier capable of sealing anything, even Satoru Gojo.

Geto explained this to his allies before the Shibuya incident began. Jogo asked about the conditions and Geto revealed that the target had to stay within four meters for one minute. Annoyed, Jogo threatened to burn Geto, as they all know that there is no way to reach that state when dealing with someone like Gojo. Geto assured him not to worry because his one minute version isn't that literal.

In the present, the Geto orders the opening of the Prison Empire. The cursed object breaks from its talismanic seal and expands into a cyclopian curse with flesh spread out and attached to the four sides of the cube. The eye meets Satoru's gaze and he immediately tries to flee. However, Geto eventually reveals himself and greets Satoru as if they were still friends.

Confused, memories of his best friend race through Satoru's mind and he still can't understand how Geto could be alive. Satoru killed Suguru himself almost a year ago, but Six Eyes dismisses all possibilities. When Geto told Jogo one minute in the past, he meant one minute of time processed using Satoru's six eyes enhanced brain.

Even though it was only a moment, so much time had passed for Gojo a long time ago. Prison Realm traps Satoru, immobilizing him and blocking all access to his body's cursed energy. He knows it's checkmate but still demands to know who Geto is. No matter what Six Eyes tells him, Satoru knows in his heart that Suguru is dead and this man is a fraud.

Geto removes the stitches from his head, revealing the brain curse inhabiting Suguru's head. The trickster has a cursed technique that allows him to enter the bodies of other wizards and use their innate techniques. This Pseudo-Geto obtained curse manipulation and planned these exact circumstances to deal with Satoru Gojo.

Satoru is convinced that the wizard who defeated Suguru will take his place. However, Pseudo-Geto claims that Yuta Okkotsu cannot become the next Satoru Gojo without the powers gained from Rika Orimoto's soul curse. He says goodbye to Satoru and asks them to meet again in the new world.

Meanwhile, far down on the Fukutoshin Line Platform, Team Mei Mei heads towards Satoru's position. Suddenly, Yuji stops and Ui Ui asks him what's going on. he finds a small Mechamaru-like communication device on his ear, with Kokichi Muta talking to him, asking if he can hear his voice.
