Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 139

   

 Summary:

Still trying to atone for his mistakes in Shibuya, Yuji works with Choso to hunt down as many cursed spirits as possible in Tokyo. Unfortunately for them, this gains the attention of Naoyi Zenin and eventually Yuji's executioner, Yuta Okkotsu.

Plot:

Yuji stands alone on the bridge and claps his hands several times to draw out several cursed spirits. He leads them down into the tunnel where Choso appears and kills most of them with a single shot of Piercing Blood. The one remaining cursed spirit leaps towards Choso, but Yuji easily deals with it by crushing it against the wall.

Chos was impressed not only by Yuji's strength, but also by his subtlety and control over the cursed energy, describing him as a demon god even though he had not yet fully recovered. She calls Yuji impressive and addresses him as her little brother. Yuji asks if he's still doing it, and Choso replies that he'll keep doing it, adding that Yuji's father had stitches in his forehead.

Suddenly, Naoya appears above them and says that he can't see Megumi, wondering how he could be so slow. When both Yuji and Choso are ready, Naoya asks the two of them if they plan to escape. Yuji looks confused and Naoya reveals that Yuji's execution will continue with Gojo no longer around to back him up. Yuji then remembers Ina's words about how many wizards Gojo saved.

Naoya tells Yuji that even though he doesn't care if he lives or dies, since his business is with Megumi, he can't let him move freely and says that he will break Yuji's legs first. Yuji asks what he wants with Megumi, and Naoya replies that he plans to die, preferably after he writes something that will help him. Just then, Naoya jumps down and says that Megumi is looking for Yuji. Although Yuji recognizes Naoyi's speed, he is unable to avoid a punch to his face.

Before Yuji or Choso can intervene with their own powers, Naoya quickly jumps away and the two realize that it must be his cursed technique. Naoya tells Yuji that he is stronger than he expected and also wonders to himself about the identity of the person with him. Naoya shyly asks the two if he should speed up, but all three suddenly feel an overwhelming presence. Yuji initially thinks it's Gojo, but then describes it as something more spooky. He looks up to see Yuto calmly preparing his weapon, commenting on the fact that Yuji is not alone.
