Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 137

   

 Summary:

After the events in Shibuya, Tokyo was completely overcome by curses. Yuta has returned to Japan and continues active duty as a jujutsu wizard under the guidance of the higher ups. Headquarters makes several announcements about the aftermath of the Shibuya incident, including the execution of Yuji Itadori, to be carried out by Yuta himself.

Plot:

A shot of Tokyo at night is shown, slowly zooming out to reveal that the area is almost pitch black. The unknown characters begin to discuss the situation, revealing that the 23 Wards were almost completely destroyed, with only a handful of areas free. They plan to create an evacuation plan for five million residents and estimate that at least ten million cursed spirits have been released.

One of the people is stunned that they plan to evacuate the entire area and thinks about the various consequences. One says they should extend the two barriers to the prefecture's borders, and another fears the existence of cursed spirits being made public. Someone assures the others that the wizards are protecting the evacuees inside the city, and another adds that they can tell the public that cursed spirits only appear in Tokyo. While some fear the intervention of a foreign army, others debate back and forth about how to handle the whole situation.

In a convenience store, a young girl is kneeling on the floor and consuming various foods and drinks. Suddenly she sees a ghostly figure in the doorway telling her to come and that it is dangerous. He also mentions hot baths and that they can sing songs. The girl asks where her mother is, and the character replies that mom, dad, older sister, little brother, and the teacher are all there. He says he doesn't have a little brother and that he hates his teacher. After the character simply repeats the girl's words, she is left confused and asks if they want a drink. The character says to give it to them, and as the girl walks out of the store, a huge cursed spirit with razor sharp teeth drags away the bait they were using and opens its mouth to eat her.

Yuta jumped down from the height and suddenly appeared and stabbed the creature in the head with his katana. With a smile on his face, he asks the girl if he scared her and also made sure she wasn't hurt. He asks if she is with her mother or father, but she says she doesn't know. Yuta notices the area and doubts that he lives there. Noticing how worn her shoes are, she asks if she's come a long way.

As Yuta tells her that she did a good job, the creature suddenly rises from the ground and opens its mouth to eat him, but is violently thrown back and splashed against the wall. The girl notices the attack and Yuta politely asks Rika not to overdo it, covering the girl's eyes and distracting her from the carnage.

Later, Yuta meets the higher-ups who praise his efforts. He bluntly tells them to get to the point and says they know he will obey their orders. One of them laughs and says that his killing cursed spirits doesn't prove anything. In response, Yuta asks if he should enter the Binding Vow, then assures them that he doesn't care if the person is Goya's student. He says that since Yuji cut off Inumaki's hand in Shibuya, he will kill him personally.

The supervisor will make five announcements. First, Geto is confirmed to be alive and has been sentenced to death (again). Second, Gojo is considered complicit in the Shibuya incident and has been permanently exiled. Removing his seal will be considered a crime. Third, Masamichi is to be executed for inciting Gojo and Geta and causing the Shibuya incident. Fourth, Yuji's execution will be resumed and will be carried out immediately. In the end, Yuta is named Yuji's executioner.
