Arc events(16)
- The Veil falls on Shibuya31 October 2018 · ShibuyaOn Halloween evening 2018 a Veil with a 400-metre radius isolates Shibuya Station: civilians can enter but not leave, and ask for one thing only — "bring Satoru Gojo here". It is Kenjaku's trap.
- The Meiji-jingumae team31 October 2018 · ShibuyaThe sorcerers go in through the stations at the edge of the Veil. Yuji, with Mei Mei and Ui Ui, goes down into Meiji-jingumae Station and finds hordes of people transfigured by Mahito.
- Gojo alone on platform B5F31 October 2018 · ShibuyaGojo goes down alone to the Fukutoshin Line platform and faces Jogo, Hanami and Choso amid thousands of civilians. So as not to kill them he expands Unlimited Void for just 0.2 seconds, then cuts down the transfigured people one by one and kills Hanami.
- Gojo sealed in the Prison Realm31 October 2018 · ShibuyaKenjaku opens the Prison Realm in front of Gojo, wearing Suguru Geto's face. For an instant the memories of three years with his friend cross his mind: that is the minute it takes. Gojo is sealed.
- Yuji vs Choso31 October 2018 · ShibuyaAt the station entrance Toge clears Yuji's way through the transfigured humans. In the corridors Yuji finds Choso, who wants to avenge Eso and Kechizu: the fight ends in the restrooms, Yuji loses — and Choso, at the final blow, sees him as his brother.
- Dagon's domain31 October 2018 · ShibuyaDagon hatches from its cocoon and shuts Naobito, Maki and Nanami into its domain, an endless beach. Megumi enters and opens his own incomplete domain; through the gap comes Toji, back from death, who kills Dagon.
- Jogo burns the sorcerers31 October 2018 · ShibuyaJust out of Dagon's domain, Nanami, Maki and Naobito are engulfed by Jogo's flames. They barely survive: Naobito will die of his wounds, Nanami keeps walking through Shibuya burned and with only one eye.
- Sukuna awakens31 October 2018 · ShibuyaMimiko and Nanako, Geto's adopted daughters, make the unconscious Yuji swallow ten of Sukuna's fingers and ask him to kill whoever is wearing their father's body. Sukuna, annoyed, kills them both.
- Sukuna vs Jogo31 October 2018 · ShibuyaJogo offers Sukuna the fingers in exchange for a fight: if he lands even one hit, the King of Curses will side with the spirits. At Shibuya Stream Sukuna defeats him with his own fire and tells him he was strong.
- Toji vs Megumi31 October 2018 · ShibuyaToji's body, having killed old Ogami and Dagon, faces Megumi without recognising him. When he asks his name and Megumi answers 'Fushiguro', Toji understands, is glad he did not become a Zen'in, and kills himself.
- Mahoraga31 October 2018 · ShibuyaStabbed by Haruta Shigemo, Megumi summons Mahoraga, the shikigami no one has ever tamed, to die taking the enemy with him. Sukuna steps in to save him — because he has plans for him — and faces Mahoraga.
- The Malevolent Shrine over Shibuya31 October 2018 · ShibuyaAgainst Mahoraga Sukuna expands the Malevolent Shrine without a barrier, over a 200-metre radius: everything is sliced, buildings and people. Then he finishes Mahoraga with his flame. Shibuya is a desert of rubble.
- Nanami's death31 October 2018 · ShibuyaBurned and maimed, Nanami drags himself through the station dreaming of a beach in Malaysia. Facing Mahito he sees Yuji arrive and leaves him his last words: "from here on, I'm counting on you". Mahito kills him.
- Nobara vs Mahito31 October 2018 · ShibuyaNobara faces a clone of Mahito and then Mahito himself, who touches her face with Idle Transfiguration in front of Yuji. For months no one will know whether she is alive.
- Yuji and Todo vs Mahito31 October 2018 · ShibuyaTodo arrives and gets Yuji back on his feet. Together they fight Mahito in the void left by the Shrine: Mahito maims Todo, who loses his hand and his technique, but Yuji, now resolved to be a cog that kills curses, defeats him.
- Kenjaku reveals himself31 October 2018 · ShibuyaAs Mahito flees from Yuji, Kenjaku absorbs him. He tells who he is — and that he was Yuji's mother. Yuki Tsukumo and Choso arrive; Kenjaku unleashes thousands of spirits across Japan and announces his game.
