Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 186

   

 Summary:

Jackpot loaded Kinji Hakari takes on Hajime Kashimo! Even Kashimo is fascinated by the fight against Hakari as one of Satoru's star disciples Gojo shows off his true power.

Plot:

Charged with an incredible amount of cursed energy, Hakari rushes to rescue Panda from Kashimo. He delivers a right hook so powerful that it disarms Kashima from his staff and sends the wizard tumbling through several shipping containers. Giving Kashima no time to recover, Hakari closes the distance and throws a flying dropkick that his opponent narrowly avoids. While still in the air, Hakari swings his legs in an attempt to strike. Kashimo narrowly avoids a kick and his opponent barely touches his nose. Hakari's physical strength is so overwhelming that his kick dents another shipping container and knocks it over.

Hakari is electrified by the cursed energy protecting Kashimo, but he can barely feel the armor. Kashimo is amazed that his opponent can ignore the electrification with a pure discharge of cursed energy and asks him for his name. Hakari introduces himself while Kashimo is fascinated by the mysterious music surrounding his opponent. Kashimo also introduces himself and Hakari realizes that this is the hundred point player he was looking for. He asks if he can use those points if he wins, and Kashimo agrees, asking to know more about Sukuna if he's the winner.

Hakari is suddenly interrupted by a large influx of cursed energy that he received as a bonus for winning his domain's jackpot. Kashimo takes the opportunity to fire his opponent with several hits, but is displeased as Hakari doesn't fight back. As he starts to tell Hakari not to let him down, the Jujutsu High School student cuts him off with a hard right hook to the jaw that sends Kashimo flying. After posing, Hakari follows up with a flying knee that makes Kashima admit that his opponent isn't bad. Kashimo regains his balance and grabs the leg that Hakari had kneed him down and counters with a spinning elbow. Hakari resists the attack and forces Kashima to release his grip by crushing the ground beneath their feet.

After charging enough electricity, Kashimo retreats and performs the same lightning attack that defeated Panda. Hakari manages to avoid a direct hit to the head, but his hand is blown off in the attack. Believing that his opponent will not recover in time, Kashimo rushes in to finish him off. However, Hakari surprisingly counters with a kick and follows up with a punch from the same arm that was supposedly just cut off. Shocked, Kashimo blocks the attack, assuming that Hakari used the Reverse Cursed Technique to quickly heal himself.

Hakari has never learned to use the Reverse Cursed Technique, but the unlimited cursed energy flowing through his body as a result of hitting the jackpot with it automatically heals his body. In other words, Hakari is practically indestructible for four minutes and eleven seconds after hitting the jackpot (the duration of Private Pure Love Train's "Admiring You" theme song). As this time limit comes to an end, Kashimo notices that the music has stopped and his opponent's cursed energy has subsided. However, during the round, Hakari's Cursed Technique and Cursed Energy are replenished, allowing him to instantly cast Domain Expansion. As long as Hakari continues to hit the jackpot, he can use his domain again and again.
