Gojo's past (Hidden Inventory)

In 2006 Gojo and Geto, in their second year, escort the Star Plasma Vessel Riko Amanai to Tengen. Toji Fushiguro, the sorcerer killer, kills her; Gojo is reborn as "the strongest". A year later Geto slaughters a village and defects.

It is the arc that explains Gojo, Geto and their bond: the holiday in Okinawa, the ambush at the school entrance, Gojo's awakening, the faithful applauding over Riko's corpse, Haibara's death, Geto's meeting with Yuki, the twins in the cage, the last goodbye in Shinjuku.
