Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 136

   

 Summary:

As the Shibuya incident finally draws to a close, Pseudo-Geto and Yuki Tsukumo disagree on what role the cursed energy will play in humanity's evolution. Pseudo-Geto explains his plans for the world of the future, a return to an era that reflects the Heian and the peak of cursed techniques.

Plot:

Yuki asks "Geto" if he remembers their conversation eleven years ago. Both wanted to create a world where cursed spirits could no longer exist. Regardless of the method, Yuki knows that people will advance to their next stage. He believes that the phase consists of breaking away from the cursed energy. Pseudo-Geto claims it can only come from cursed energy optimization. Partially frozen and completely confused, Yuji mentions that he doesn't understand either method and wonders who Yuki even is.

Geto states that he thought Yuki abandoned her method when Toji Zenin died. Yuki claims that the Pseudo-Geto method has a big hole because only people in Japan can be enhanced with Tengen and cursed energy optimization. Japan's cursed energy monopoly could prompt a response from the world's other superpowers. The chaos that would result is a far cry from the world Yuki and Geto were talking about.

Pseudo-Geto laughs and reveals that his goal is completely different than hers. He sees wizards, non-wizards, and cursed spirits as all possible forms of cursed energy in the form of human beings. He also believes that there must be more to human potential. During his time as Noritoshi Kamo, he created Death Painting Wombs to try to tap into this potential. However, Pseudo-Geto does not believe that his creations will ever exceed the limits of his own potential. The only way a mad wizard can achieve his goal is to unleash chaos he cannot control.

Having already acquired Mahita's innate technique, Pseudo-Geto prepares to activate it. Yuki quickly realizes what the curse user might be trying to do and asks Yuji what happened to the soul manipulating cursed spirit. Yuji reveals that the Pseudo-Geto has absorbed Mahito, much to Yuki's dismay. Pseudo-Geto slams his palm down on the ground, creating a giant seal mark on the ground. This initiates a remote activation of the cursed technique, surprising Yuji,

Pseudo-Geto thanks Yuji for helping Mahita reach his potential before he was consumed by the cursed spirit's manipulation. Any technique gained this way ceases to improve the moment its original user is absorbed. Geto adds that he also wanted to gain Joga's powers. Yuki asks what he did and the curse user reveals that he used Idle Transfiguration on two different types of people who were already marked with the same seal he just cast. Tsumiki Fushiguro is one of those people and she finally woke up in her hospital room.

The first type of marked non-wizards are the vessels that Geto swallowed cursed objects similar to how Yuji incarnated Sukuna. The second type are those whose brains were supposed to be non-magicians like Junpei Yoshino. Idle Transfiguration allowed the Pseudo-Geto to modify their brains for the ability to use jujutsu and develop innate techniques. Those who ingested the cursed items were empowered by Geto to become proper vessels.

Although some have been in a deep sleep since being marked by the cursed energy of the Pseudo-Geto, they will soon wake up and fight each other to deepen their understanding of the cursed energy. He has carefully chosen those who will participate in the chaos and likens it to unleashing a thousand evil Yujis. Yuki doesn't believe that a thousand people will be enough for people to kill each other. Pseudo-Geto assured her that he wouldn't make such an oversight and upset Yuki. He asks Yuji to help beat up the curse user, but the Jujutsu High School student is still frozen in place from Uraume's attack.

Suddenly, the ice around Yuji and everyone else who was frozen melts, freeing them. Pseudo-Geto asks Uraum what is going on and they conclude that they have been poisoned. Choso reveals that his blood poisoned them when Piercing Blood combined with Uraume's guard. Momo Nishimiya suggests that there may be more enemies since Mai Zenin never came to support them after she fired the sniper. Yuki reveals that he is buying time for Larue to move into position to protect Mai, Aoi Todo, and Arata Nitta. Panda is able to move and asks Noritoshi if he is okay too. A student from Kyoto assures Panda that regulating his body temperature is not a problem. In contrast, Atsuya Kusakabe remains on earth repulsed by the events of the long day.

When the Pseudo-Geto has heard enough of the disturbance, he declares that he is still talking. The cursed items he provided were created from wizards he made vows to millennia ago. However, these promises became invalid when he acquired the body of Suguru Geto. Yuki understands the implications of this, just as Pseudo-Geto announces that this is the world of the future.

Several cursed spirits suddenly appear from the curse manipulator as he shows the Prison Realm to Yuji. Yuji calls out his sensei's name as the curse user says that he expects a lot from a Jujutsu High School student. As Pseudo-Geto fades into the darkness and leaves, he asks Sukuna if she's listening. He declares that the golden age of jujutsu is returning and a world similar to that of the Heian era is preparing to begin again.
