Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 160

   

 Summary:

Those already inside the barrier colony when the culling game began on November 1 were given one chance to escape. Yuji's high school friend Setsuko Sasaki took this chance and was escorted out of Sendai City by Kenjaku himself. Twelve days later, Yuji and his allies are ready to enter the Tokyo Colony and let the games begin.

Plot:

Kenjaku suddenly greets Setsuko, who is sleeping in her bed. Startled, Setsuko seems to wake up and looks at the strange man standing over her, asking who her mysterious visitor is.

Kenjaku explains that he is a wizard who built a barrier over the city of Sendai and that the region has been chosen to host a death match where players will fight to the death. Setsuko is shocked to hear that people are going to kill each other and nervously jokes that they don't do that in her house. Kenjaku praises her for being funny and continues to explain the circumstances.

The remains of a nearby gallows serve as the center of a barrier with a radius of around five to six kilometers. Creating the barrier required immense effort, and Kenjaku cannot make unreasonable conditions. Those like Setsuko who start inside the barrier have one chance to leave. If she chooses to do so, Setsuko will wake up outside the barrier. Confused, Setsuko asks what he means by "waking up" and asks if he's still dreaming. Kenjaku replies that the space between dreams and reality is a curse.

Kenjaku takes Setsuko's hand and warns her to be careful as the rushing players are already outside. Kenjkau holds Setsuko's hands while her eyes are closed and escorts her safely past the carnage that unfolds across the battlefield. Before they part ways for good, Kenjaku thanks Setsuko for being his son's friend.

Setsuko wakes up behind the barrier to the voice of her friend Takeshi Iguchi, who is glad to find someone he knows in his panic. He draws Setsuka's attention to the gigantic barrier wall and explains that they all saw a man wearing a bag. Setsuko asks if the man mentioned his son to Takeshi, but he doesn't. Setsuko wonders if the man meant Yuji Itadori from high school. This all happened on November 1st at 6:00 AM when the Culling game first started.

Today is November 11th as Yuji and Megumi continue to plan the game with the others. They can't find a player named "Angel", but apparently they know them when they see them. Hakari decides that he and Panda will go to Tokyo Colony #2 while Yuji and Megumi go to #1 and Kirara stays outside the barrier.

Hakari plans to handle Hajime Kashimo by himself since he is the player with the most points and is probably the strongest. At the same time, Panda will look for Angel with his nose. Kirara is confused as to why they don't go inside the barrier to help, and Hakari explains that Yuta didn't make contact because cell phones don't have reception inside the barriers. Their group will need Kirara outside to keep an eye on them.

Yuji begins to explain that maybe he and Megumi shouldn't travel together because of Sukuna. However, Megumi tells him to shut up and stop being selfish because senpais can't change their roles just for the sake of it. Yuji takes offense because he's just scared, but Megumi finds it annoying and a waste of time. They both get upset and get into a face but Panda tells them to stop arguing.

The following day, November 12th at 12:00 PM, everyone will arrive at their designated barriers in Tokyo. Kogane explains that inside the barriers is a deadly competition known as the Culling Game. They ask if new players are willing to come in and declare their participation as players. Megumi, Panda and Hakari don't hesitate to agree to start an operation to save Tsumiki.
