Chapter 1: The Awakening and A Pact

"What? Where am I?" Yuuji asked after waking up however before he could freak out, he turned and saw Nanami who asked him a question "Good you're finally awake. Can you tell me if you remember anything before you blacked out?" 

"No, the last thing I remember was eating dinner with My new friend and his mom" Yuuji replied after giving it some thought.

"Then it's just as I thought, everyone else had similar blackouts" Nanami said while he appeared deep in thought.

"Wait everyone else?" Yuuji asked and for the first time since waking up looked around the room he was in and from what he could make out it was a somewhat rundown movie theater which had a screen that simply said "when you're ready to begin take your seats and press play" there also seemed to be plenty of seats that seem to be in relatively good shape and a large group of people were there as well and while he couldn't recognize most of them he did recognize Nobara, Megumi, Gojo, Shoko, Junpei, Junpei's mom and finally Nanami. Gojo and Shoko seemed to be staring at a black-haired man who stared at them with confusion as well.

So Yuuji decided to join Nobara and Megumi "Hey guys!" Yuuji said casually as if he hadn't spent the last month pretending to be actually dead.

"Yuuji!" Nobara screamed when she saw him she then proceeded to run towards him and bonk him on the head "OW! What was that for!" Yuuji exclaimed before noticing that Nobara was holding back unshed tears, and that Megumi seemed to be upset while standing a bit more off to the side "Oh sorry but I-" he couldn't get the words out " Yuuji then begin freaking out "Why can't I get the words out!" Megumi sighed and instead of giving him a straight answer he gave him a piece of paper "Here we all got these notes if you read it then it should answer most of your questions." So Yuuji took the paper and read it.

"Dear reader I have brought you and many others here to watch your past, present, and future. Know that you'll be unable to leave until you have watched it in its entirety and skipping any of its content is also not permitted. Everyone who is here must be watching the screen otherwise the screen will not play. There are rooms for you to sleep in feel free to bunk with others should you feel the urge to do so, however only those given permission may enter someone else's room there is an optional soundproofing setting should you desire privacy. Now onto the rules of the viewing are as follows, 1. You may fight with one another however any attacks that either disrupt someone's ability to view the screen or any attack that permanently injures someone will be blocked and 97% of your strength will be taken for a exactly one episode. 2. The second and final rule is that spoilers are not allowed under any circumstances, should you or anyone else attempt to say something that will be shown on screen you will be stopped from speaking. Food will be delivered in order of breakfast, lunch, and dinner should you want any meal besides that simply ask aloud and a robot will deliver it instantly and any questions that won't show up on screen or can't be answered by your companions will be answered by text on the screen. Have fun reacting Goodbye. P.S some of you have been taken from the past and future and will be brought to the present once the viewing concludes."

After reading the note Yuji is practically vibrating with excitement "Will we really see the future!" Yuuji yelled enthusiastically briefly forgetting about the consequences his faked death caused, the rest of the room looked at him baffled the exceptions are Junpei and his mom who both looked amused by him though Junpei was more reserved, Nobara who seems to have gotten over Yuuji pretending to be dead for the time being looked equally excited, Megumi was excited as well but he hid it, Miwa was happy that someone else was just as excited like she was at the prospect of seeing the future, Todou was just staring intently at Yuji wanting to ask him his totally reasonable question but knowing it's not the time right now decided to wait, and finally Gojo gave Yuuji a wide grin and a thumbs up "Yup!".

Nanami wanting to speed things up "Alright enough, since we will be here for a while why don't we start by introducing ourselves seeing as there are some people here whom I don't recognize." Nanami stated and since he seemed quite reliable everyone decided to go along with it. "We'll start with the adults then move onto the students, sound fair?" Nanami asked and after getting a lot of nods he decided to start.

"Since it was my idea, I'll start my name is Kento Nanami and I'm a grade 1 sorcerer" Nanami stated in his typical calm and matter of fact tone looking around as if letting everyone know that was how they should do it. While looking around he, made a mental note that he recognized most of the adults and some of the children there are those he never saw so he decides to watch them more closely to gauge who exactly these people are.

"I'm Satoru Gojo the strongest there is and I'm a special grade sorcerer!" Gojo said in typical Gojo fashion though this was more an attempt to calm himself down after seeing Geto alive and though everyone just rolled their eyes and decide to just let him be to move things along quicker.

"My name is Ieri Shoko and I'm basically the closest thing you'll all get to a doctor" Shoko spoke in a bored tone of voice though Gojo could tell she was shaken up by the fact that her fingers were subtly twitching showing the desire to smoke even though she quit some years ago, and wanting to help he walks over to her and slings an arm around her shoulder while saying "You could put more enthusiasm into your introduction you know!" she startles a bit at this, then she rolls her eyes at his antics and swats his arm off though she admits to herself that she's grateful that he took her mind off of Geto (Not that she'll ever tell Gojo that).

"I am Iori Utahime, I'm the teacher for the Kyoto school pleased to meet you all." Utahime said in her usual tone though it was clear her eyes were mainly on Gojo and Shoko with a tinge of annoyance in Gojo's case and understanding in Shoko's.

"Greetings my name is Suguru Geto pleased to meet you all." Getou said politely after he finished Maki, Toge, Panda, and Yuta glared at him, the Hasaba siblings noticing the glares decided to glare right back at them causing the tension in the room to rise.

Geto seeing this has a chat with the Hasaba siblings in order to keep things moving. "Nanako, Himiko, I know that you both don't like their looks, but could you try to ignore them for now?" "But Geto they look like they want to attack you!" Nanako Hasaba yelled, and Mimiko nodded rapidly " Girls you know that I can take care of myself and while it warms my heart to know how much you two care I simply ask that you ignore them for now okay?" Geto said while patting both Nanako and Mimiko on the head which calms them down significantly and they reluctantly do as their asked.

"Alright it looks like there is just one more adult and then we can move onto the children." Nanami calmly said while watching Geto in the corner of his eye.

"Yo! I'm Nagi Yoshino! I have no idea who almost any of you are except Yuji my son's funny friend! Happy to meet you all." Yoshino happily stated while hugging Junpei "Hey, Hey Junpei did I sound cool and mature there!" she exclaimed obviously trying to fish for compliments "S-Sure mom" Junpei stuttered out embarrassed by the public show of affection given to him in front of Yuuji and the rest of these strangers meanwhile Yoshino pouted at the hesitant response and turned to Yuuji "Hey Yuji you thought I looked cool right?" and Yuji of course says "Hell yeah you looked really cool!" causing Yoshino to beam and Junpei to become further embarrassed. 

Yuji curious about something leans over and whispers in Yoshino's ear to avoid the spoiler affect "How are you not hungover or drunk right now?"

Yoshino whispers back "Oh I was hungover when I first arrived, but Shoko fixed me right up! Though I don't know how exactly..."

"Awesome!" Yuji whisper yells with awe at the prospect of healing through cursed techniques.

"Ahem" Nanami coughed "If you two are done, may we continue introductions?" Nanami said tired of having to keep everyone on track "Oops sorry Mr. Nanami, I'll be sure keep quiet for now and you can all continue" Yoshino appeared genuinely apologetic something Nanami was grateful for though he didn't show it and simply gave her an appreciative nod.

"I'm Itadori Yuuji I'm a first year sorcerer and I like tall girls with big butts like Jenifer Laurence!" Yuji who out of nervousness introduced himself with his signature introduction only to get punched by Nobara for saying that "Why did you say that moron!" and pretty much everyone else agreed with her except for a certain crazy person "My brother..." Todou whispered who was currently in his own delusional fantasy creating false memories in his head. 

"I'll go next my name is Kugisaki Nobara I'm a first year too." Nobara said proudly with a smirk on her face "She sounds really proud of herself" Yuji whispered to Megumi who subtly nodded in agreement though Nobara still heard and saw this and screamed "Hey I got a right to be prideful after all I'm beautiful and a badass!" causing Megumi and Yuji to agree fearfully.

"Ahem, I suppose I'll go next My name is Fushiguro Megumi." Megumi stated plainly "Booo!" "You could do better than that Megumi!" both Yuuji and Nobara complained while Megumi looked angry but didn't say anything and he just ignored them. 

"Hello, I'm Yoshino Junpei pleased to meet you all." Junpei said with a deep bow nervous about meeting so many new people "Yo! Junpei come over here and hang out with me and my other friends!" Yuuji yelled causing Junpei to give a small smile and make his way over where Yuuji introduced them properly meanwhile while this was happening introductions continued on.

"My name is Zenin Maki and I'm a second year at Jujutsu tech" Maki said looking proud smirk while Yuuta stared at her for a bit before looking away quickly with a slight blush that Maki didn't notice. Panda and Toge who saw this and gave each other a nod they will see these two together by the end of this

"Hello, I'm Okkotsu Yuta I'm also a second year at Jujutsu tech I hope we can get along" Yuta said with a tired sort of confidence with Maki looking proud of how far Yuta has come with a slight blush of her own that neither Yuta nor Maki noticed. Panda and Toge continue plotting something which causes Maki to be suspicious of them and decides to watch them warily.

"Kelp." truly an amazing introduction that drove even maki to tears. Though those that didn't know about Toge looked incredibly confused at the introduction.

"Hello, I'm Panda and I'm a second year at Jujutsu Tech" Panda introduced himself while everyone who isn't a Jujutsu sorcerer (+Yuji and Nobara) look as if they have a million questions but to not make this go on longer, they decide to hold their questions.

"I'm Zenin Mai." Mai said with nonchalance with Momo staring at her stars in her eyes while Miwa politely clapped. Meanwhile Maki looks at her with sadness in her eyes, but she squashes those feelings down for now before anyone can notice.

"I'm Nishimiya Momo and I'm a cute third year at Kyoto Jujutsu Tech" Momo stated while trying to subtly look to Mai for praise (she fails) who responded by giving her a small smile and a discreet thumbs up which causes momo to beam at her while Miwa once again politely claps for her classmate.

"My name is Mechamaru I'm a second year" Mechamaru gave a curt introduction letting them know he doesn't wish to say more which Miwa looked disappointed at as she wanted to learn more about him, but his curt introduction made her think he prefers to be alone though that won't stop her from trying.

Meanwhile Mechamaru was still thinking about the note he received earlier which said "Kokichi Muta, your physical form is healed of all your injuries however everyone else will see you as Mechamaru until your current form is on screen. Any attempt to share this information beforehand will cause the spoiler effect to take place." While he is grateful to the one who healed him, he's cautious as he knows there's always a price to these kinds of things but for now, he will just wait and see where things go from here, though with him being so deep in thought he doesn't notice Miwa's more enthusiastic claps.

"My names Aoi Todou and I'm a third year at Kyoto though I do have one question for everyone here, but I'll wait to see if the screen answers it first before I ask." which causes multiple people to look at him in confusion save his classmates who just look done with him though Miwa politely claps for him regardless.

"My name is Noritoshi Kamo, and I'm a third year at Kyoto" Kamo said simply not having anything else to add and Miwa like the sweetheart she is politely claps once more.

"My name is Kasumi Miwa nice to meet you all!" Miwa gave an enthusiastic greeting getting smiles from pretty much everyone in the room with Yuji who noticed her polite claps for her classmates decides to give her an enthusiastic applauds which causes her to smile and blush slightly which makes Mechamaru jealous.

"My name is Choso. No last name." Choso said off to the far side of the room and pretty much everyone looks a little wary of him as nobody knows him, but they decide to ignore it for now to get through introductions.

"I'm Nanako Hasaba and this is Mimiko Hasaba" Nanako snapped while trying to stop herself from glaring at the second years while Mimiko nodded along and doing the same. Yuji sensing the tension decides to make them feel more welcome by saying "Happy to meet you Nanako, Mimiko, and Choso! Do you guys want to come sit by us over here?" and while Choso doesn't respond Nanako and Mimiko both look confused by the greeting and offer "Umm no thanks we're good here." Nanako said with Mimiko hesitantly nodding in agreement. "Fair enough! If you change your mind the offers still open!" Yuji said with a grin and a thumbs up before turning back to his friends not noticing the siblings' curious stares at him after he turned away. Geto meanwhile was sighed quietly with slight disappointment at the Hasaba siblings' refusal as he wanted them to make more friends their own age, but he understands their reasoning and he won't force them to go over there even if he desires differently.

"Alright, now since introductions are concluded I think it would best if we simply watch whatever this is and get this over with any objections?" Nanami purposed and everyone seemed to be in agreement while the Hasaba siblings looked to Getou to see what they should do who simply smiled and gave them a nod indicating he agrees they should watch for now. 

Everyone then finds places to sit "Alright is everyone comfortable?" Nanami asked and after getting affirmatives he says "Alright" he then takes the remote and presses play.

Chapter 2: Episode 1 Ryomen Sukuna part 1

Summary:

The cast reacts to part one of the first episode

Notes:

Sorry everyone had some medical issues that I had to deal with enjoy part one of this reaction! :P

"The screen begins to countdown"

"3"

"2"

"1" 

"Yuuji begins waking up with blood on his chin looking roughed up and is then greeted by a voice "Morning."

"yeesh what happened to you?" Nobara laughs though she was inwardly slightly concerned.

"Gojo." Yuuji replied simply not to concerned about it.

Gojo could feel the glares from Nobara and Yoshino "Oh relax I only did it because-." he suddenly couldn't speak as a black bar appeared over his mouth "Ah, I assume that was some kind of spoiler contingency. Well guess I can't tell you just know I had a good reason." He replied instead hoping they would stop glaring at him 

"Hmph" Nobara accepted it and turned back angrily to the screen while Yoshino glares at him for a few more seconds before turning to Yuuji with a look of concern then finally turning back to the screen.

while most of the other audience members decided to wait to see why this kid they don't know was roughed up.

Yuuji looks up and sees a familiar man sitting across from him.

he blearily looks around and notices lamps and talisman surrounding him "So which one are you right now?" Gojo asks.

"What's he mean by that?" Nanako asks Getou with Mimiko looking at him as well wanting an answer

"I'm unsure though I'm sure we'll get an answer soon so be patient okay." Getou replies with a calm smile before turning back to the screen with a inquisitive gaze.

Meanwhile the students are equally stumped "I know you can't answer but I am curious on what he meant by that." Maki said while looking at Megumi and Nobara who look to be hiding something 

"I'm sure the screen will answer it for us so can we please just keep watching." Megumi replied done with this conversation and the others despite their reluctance turned back to the screen.

"Aren't you..." Yuuji begins to ask

"Gojo Satoru. I'm in charge of the first years at Jujutsu High." Gojo explains to Yuuji.

"What's Jujutsu High?" Yoshino asks

"It'll be explained just give it time." Nanami answered to which Yoshino gives a nod and turning back to the screen.

"Jujutsu... Fushiguro... Senpai!" Yuuji suddenly wakes up from his dazed state in distress and attempts to move only to notice his hands bound by a thick rope surrounded by talisman

"What is this?" they then see a full overview of the room and it is absolutely surrounded by talisman.

The students are a bit put off by all the precautions though Yuta looks at Yuuji strangely after all he was in a similar room though without the chains "Maybe we're similar" he thought 

"He seems like a nice boy thinking of others immediately after he woke up." Utahime said much to Gojo's elation "Of course he is he's my precious student after all!" Gojo exclaims meanwhile Nanami is in thought "It's a bit worrying that he didn't seem worried about himself first if this sort of behavior persists, I may have to intervene." not knowing that Yoshino is having similar thoughts about her son. Yep you heard that right Yoshino has already decided that Yuuji is her son.

Meanwhile in another part of the theater Getou is comforting Nanako and Mimiko from a panic attack "shhh it's okay. you're safe." Getou whispered while patting their heads which calmed them down significantly though they're still holding each other tightly "Whoever tied him up like that deserves to die sorcerer or no." Nanako said with a glare at the screen with Mimiko glaring just as hard and nodding and Getou doesn't have the heart to deny them though he is getting curious about what's happening with this child.

"I'm not sure you should be worrying about others, Itadori Yuuji." Gojo said as he needlessly hung his arms from his chair with a calm smile he then said "It's been decided that you'll be secretly executed."

"What did I just hear?" Yoshino asked "Are you going to try to kill my son?" she seems calm on the surface but is exuding a terrifying aura 

"N-Now now it'll be explained in the viewing so could you calm down..." Gojo said nervously he may be the strongest but upset mothers make him nervous for some reason

She stares at him with an eerily blank face for a while but eventually returns to looking at the screen

"Hey is that really your mom?" Nobara asked Yuuji who looked just as confused as her

"No... I never knew my mom." Yuuji replied before realizing something and getting excited "Junpei that means we're brothers now!"

Junpei startles out of his shock at his mother saying that before shyly smiling at Yuuji "Y-yeah that does sound cool."

Megumi looks at the scene with a small smile which Nobara notices "Ohh are trying to be cool and mysterious cringe." Nobara mocks which made Megumi get pissed

"Shut up!" Megumi yelled embarrassed that he was called out

While the rest of the audience is shocked by this revelation, they are much calmer and are content to wait for the screen to reveal more.

"Psst Yuta, do you think this Yuuji kid might be like you?" Panda asked with Maki and Toge looking curious as well

"It definitely looks like it right now the higher ups did want me dead as well but something feels different." Yuta said 

"Different how?" Maki asked

"Well when I was there it was a choice he doesn't look to be there of his own will." Yuta answered

"Makes sense." Maki said

"Bonita flakes" Toge replied simply

They then see the outside of a house while a phone rings it then cuts to a nameplate with the name Itadori on it

"Hello, Sugisawa Hospital." a young woman answer

"Oh, this is Itadori. I just called earlier. Yes. Yes. I'm sorry to keep calling you, but how is my grandpa doing?"

"Aww it's sweet that you check up on your grandpa." Miwa cooed

"I know isn't my son just the sweetest." Yoshino has completely embraced her delusions Miwa of course doesn't know this and nods her head happily

"My brother truly is a good man I remember when he brought me flowers when I was in the hospital for a broken ankle." Todo is also completely delusional though only Mai heard him and looks at him,Yuuji, and Yoshino rapidly trying and failing to see a connection between them

"Thank you." Yuuji rubbed the back of his head happy but embarrassed about being called her son and from this being shown

it then cuts to the hospital where the woman who answered the phone is working "Huh? I thought they already told you. Oh, please hold on. I'll go ask myself." she proceeds to stand up and walk away

"Itadori-san never uses his call button."  an older nurse says "It's actually scary that he doesn't." the nurse next to her says

"That is worrying behavior." Nanami commented

the nurse from earlier is seen peeking her head in a room "Itadori-san, you have a phone call. Yuuji-kun's asking if you want him to bring any-" then a old mans voice shouts "Leave me alone! Tell him not to come! He should go to his club! His club!"

"Aww he cares a lot about you to." Miwa can't handle this amount of family wholesomeness as it reminds her about her own family

"Yeah he really did." Yuuji said under his breathe with a small smile and holding back tears before blinking them away and pushing those feelings down

while they may not have heard him Megumi, Nobara, and Junpei noticed and sat a bit closer to him

the screen then cuts back to Itadori with the phone " What? What's going on?" the nurse on the other end asks "You heard him. What club are you in, Yuuji-kun?" the nurse on the other end asks

"I heard. I'll come by tomorrow evening." Itadori responds resigned knowing this would happen.

"Did he do that a lot?" Megumi asked 

"Yeah he didn't want me to be lonely y'know?" Yuuji answered to which Megumi nodded with a small smile it reminded him of when Gojo forced him to interact with Maki and the others

The sounds of someone walking be heard while we get shots of a school at night after a bit of walking the person stops to reveal none other than megumi.

"Megumi it's you!" Yuuji exclaimed happily

"I can see that." Megumi has lost the small smile he had, and it's now replaced with a look of exasperation

"I can't wait until I show up, I'll knock your introduction out of the park!" Nobara exclaimed

"It isn't a competition" Megumi said with a sweat drop

"They're keeping a cursed object in a place like this? Could they be any dumber?"

This caused Getou to perk up a bit curious to see what object they're looking for wile Yuuji has a brief look of guilt on his face before he again covers it up quickly this time to fast for anyone to notice

He notices the lock on the storage box is unlocked he opens it to reveal nothing inside and after a thorough investigation of the inside and outside he opens and closes it just to be sure.

"Pfft you look hilarious." Nobara laughs along with Yuuji and Junpei which Megumi shoots them a small glare

"Oh don't be so childish Megumi, besides you do look pretty funny looking like that!" Gojo says laughing with them with Megumi turns his glare to him while his colleagues look tired of his antics and collectively think "Aren't you acting more childish right now?"

"There's nothing here." Megumi says on the phone with someone

"Huh" Gojo asked not taking this seriously

"The Stevenson screen's empty." Megumi said getting annoyed

"For real? That's hilarious! Maybe it took a nighttime stroll." Gojo couldn't care less and finds the situation humorous

"Is he always like this?" Junpei asked 

"Yeah, pretty much." Yuuji replies

"I'll punch you." Megumi is now fully fed up with this man

"Do it!" Nobara shouts which causes Gojo to fake gasp "My precious students are so mean to me save me Yuuji!" He exclaims dramatically jumping and hiding behind Yuuji "Don't worry sensei I'll protect you!" Yuuji says playing along while the rest of the audience sweat drops at their antics.

"Well no going home until it's recovered, okay?" Gojo said then immediately hangs up

Megumi puts the phone down and says "I'm seriously going to punch him next time."

"I wish I had done that." Megumi said annoyed which causes Gojo to give another dramatic gasp from behind Yuuji "I only have one student now!" he says while hugging Yuuji from the back which makes Yoshino jealous as she wants to hug Yuuji like that

The rest of the audience hope something interesting happens soon because they can't take much more of this though Miwa, Panda, Toge, Yuuta, and the Hasaba sisters surprisingly look amused by them which makes Getou happy and gives him hope that they might enjoy the company of other sorcerers there age.

Notes:

Yep, Yuuji's family is growing and will only continue to grow and become more complex from here anyway hope you all liked the chapter
remember constructive criticism is welcome
I will see you all in the next chapter which could be in a week, or it could be in a month who knows but I will get it done trust me

Summary:

Rest of the episode one reaction with a special surprise at the end!

Notes:

I am so sorryyyyyyy for being away for so long! Life genuinely sucked these last few months and on top of all of the shitty stuff I lost the transcript and reactions but I persevered and finally delivered! I'll be editing the first few chapters to make the characters feel more in character (I'm going with a slow burn on some of the romances.) and correcting some errors I made (Like the Note not being bold, me not explaining Muta/Mechamaru's situation, and not giving you guys a seating chart.) as well as episode two I'm also adding more to the note that explains things in the first chapter so I suggest reading that when it's edited (It'll say edited lol)! Know that unless I'm dead (which you will know) this story will get finished! Also, no more estimated time of release these chapters will get done when they get done.

The screen then cuts to an outside view of the school with students walking outside before cutting inside        

"Ready to go?" a male voice asks as the camera pans to a notice on the door reading Occult Phenomenon Research club        

"Are you really sure, Sasaki-senpai?" the screen shows a girl with glasses framed in a ominous light        

"Iguchi-senpai?" a boy with stern looking features is shown next framed in the same ominous light        

Yuji is seen next "Okay, here we go!"        

Almost everyone in the theater was on edge from the serious tone of the scene the only ones that weren't on edge were Yuji who had a look of guilt on his face and Megumi who looked just looked frustrated      

"Hey, what's up with you two" Nobara whispered who of course noticed that the two of them were acting off     

Yuji jumped a bit before whispering back "I'd tell you but I'm pretty sure it would count as a spoiler" he said a bit cheekily which annoyed Nobara who then looked to Megumi hoping he would give her an answer but to her dismay he just shrugged his shoulders and looked back towards the screen somewhat curious about the two people he almost failed to save.     

Their answers caused Nobara to let out a huff and turning back to the screen and watching intently to see what happens next.     

"Spirits, spirits, please tell us... Which creature is the council president just barely weaker than?!" they're shown crowded around a table with their fingers on a piece of paper        

"Ku-ri-o-ne (sea angel)" all three said before bursting out laughing "A sea angel can beat him?! What a small fry!" Yuji and his friends laughed      

"Hahahahaha! That's hilarious!" Gojo who just went back to his seat after his dramatics earlier fell out of his chair as he laughed his ass off at the scene in front of him, and while Shoko didn't find it funny herself, she did have a small unnoticeable smile on her face at seeing Gojo laughing genuinely like this after seeing Geto him again. Shoko not wanting to think about him right now and ruin her slightly good mood decides to look and see her seatmates reaction to what the screen showed and she sees Utahime keeping a stern visage but Shoko could tell she is laughing on the inside which causes Shoko to think "Aww it's cute how hard she's trying to keep up her image of a stern serious teacher." however as a doctor and as her friend she decides it's her obligation to help her loosen up a bit       

"You know Utahime it's unhealthy to hold in your laughter in like that." Shoko said in her usual tone of voice which causes Utahime to jump slightly before replying "I don't know what you're talking about. It's just a childish game nothing more." she says with a straight face that Shoko can see right through, so Shoko being decides to pull out the big guns and lean in close to her ear and whisper "Ku-ri-o-ne" which caused Utahime to slightly blush and finally let out her laughter and though it wasn't as loud and boistourus as Gojo's it still causes Shoko's smile to get a tiny bit larger all the same    

Nanami while not finding the scene funny thinks to himself "It's good to see children acting like children. I feel like I see that less and less nowadays." as he thought this he turned his gaze from the screen to the bottom rows where the students were and inwardly smiles at seeing them laughing at the scene he also briefly notices that Yoshino who was sitting right behind Yuuji and Junpei was laughing as well though not as loud nor as obnoxious as Gojo, finally after letting his gaze linger a bit he turns back to the screen waiting for it to resume quietly    

Down with the Tokyo students + Yoshino and Junpei  

"Pfffft hahahaha! You're humor's still amazing Yuji!" Yoshino gasps out through her laughter  

"Hehehehe!" Junpei's laugh while more subdued due to the bullying he received was still genuine which Yoshino noticed through her own laughter and made her smile grow even larger   

"Imagine being weaker than a sea angel! Hahaha! That was a great one!" Nobara laughed lightly hitting Yuji's arm as she did which Yuji didn't mind as he laughed as well happy to have seen this again  

Megumi gave a couple quiet chuckles and a slight upturn of his lips showing that he too found the game amusing as it reminds him of a time his sister played it with her friends when he was younger, which causes his slight smile to become a bit more somber  

Yuji noticing Megumi's state throws his arm around his shoulder while still laughing which causes him to get a tic mark on his forehead  

"Get off of me." Megumi says angrily as he pushes him off  

"Hehe sorry Megumi. I guess I just lost control of my body there." Yuji says while sheepishly rubbing the back of his head which causes Megumi to "tch" and look away despite his demeaner however he is grateful Yuji distracted him, so he mutters a quiet thank you to him which made Yuji smile and give him a thumbs up before turning to Junpei and Nobara to make plans to do this when they get back.  

With the Tokyo second years  

Maki smirks at the screen amused by the scene in front of her though it's not exactly her style of humor  

"Hahaha." Yuta laughs a bit at the game thinking it was decently funny  

"Hohohoho" Panda laughed while holding his gut jokes like that were right up his alley  

"He. Salmon roe (I'll admit, that was pretty funny)" Toge says not expecting that to come out of a tense scene like that  

Meanwhile with the Kyoto Students  

"Pfft! Hehehehehahahaha!" Miwa found this hysterical and was currently clutching her sides already deciding to play this game with her brothers when she gets back  

Muta personally didn't find it all that funny though he supposes hearing Miwa's laugh is nice, so he'll opt to listen to that while waiting for the screen to resume  

"Hehehe" Momo let out a few dainty giggles at the scene but not before taking a quick peek at Mai to see if she should laugh and sees Mai showing amusement at the scene  

Speaking of Mai though she didn't find it funny enough to laugh at did find it decently amusing and she makes sure to show it outwardly, so Momo doesn't hold back her enjoyment for her sake  

"HAHAHA! Now there's the humor my brother Yuji is known for" Todou laughed boisterously causing Yuuji to look at him confused for a bit before turning back to his conversation  

Finally, Kamo sees this as a waste of time and just wants to get this over with already.  

With Geto's group  

Mimiko and Nanako were conflicted on one hand they thought the joke was funny on the other hand these were non-sorcerers, people they were supposed to want dead  

Geto notices their conflict and decided to reassure them "Mimiko, Nanako it's okay to laugh. They maybe monkey's but they can still be entertaining"  

Geto's words of reassurance seemed to have worked as Nanako laughed and Mimiko Silently chuckled which made Geto happy  

On the opposite side of the theater   

Choso was tense since he arrived without his brothers though the game the boy played did make him consider playing it with his brothers and figured he'd ask them when he gets back.    

Their laughter was cut short by the door being slammed open by what appears to be an irate student "Occult Club!" shouted the boy "Hey, Plankton President! What's up?" Yuji asked casually while the other two turned and looked at the president with the girl becoming frightened by him slamming a notice on the desk     

"Ha! Plankton president good one." Nobara laughed at the nickname and gave Yuuji a fist bump which he happily returned.     

"As you were previously informed, a research club with no real activities must forfeit its club room. So vacate this room at once!" The president decreed while the three looked at the notice        

"You shouldn't underestimate our members, President." Yuji said smugly and right after he said that Sasaki stood up abruptly and grabbed a journal titled mysterious Events File 9 from the shelf and slammed it on the table        

"What is that?" the President asked with the three giving creepy smiles to his question   

The audience was a bit creeped out by the faces they made.       

"You know about our rugby field being closed off, right?" Sasaki asked        

"Yes. Some of the students who fell ill were actually hospitalized." The President replied simply        

 Sasaki then went on a long tangent about what she believed happened with a surpising amount of research and ended it with dramatic flair and Yuji and Iguchi hyping her up after she provided airtight proof of her claims with absolutely no room for doubt      

"No, it was caused by ticks." The President shot that down quickly "Hard ticks." He for some reason felt the need to clarify " A large, blood-sucking bug." The president really wanted to drive that nail deeper it seems     

The audience got secondhand embarrassment from the scene  

"Oh yeah that reminds me." The conversation on screen reminded Yuji of a question he forgot to ask "Gojo, do you think she might have been right?"      

"Hmm, it's definitely possible but I can't be sure unless I go there myself." Gojo said with a shrug.  

"Oh, well thanks anyway sensei." Yuuji says slightly dejected which was met with Gojo giving him two thumbs up.     

"So what?! The occult club is trying to uncover occult activity, so it's still a proper club activity report!" Yuji shouted in defense while Sasaki looks dejected, and Iguchi clenches his fists        

"This isn't some kid's game! Besides the biggest problem is you, Itadori Yuji!" Yuji looks baffled "You're registered with track and field, not the occult club, so this club doesn't even have the three members required for any club!" Sasaki and Iguchi also look bewildered. while Yuji crumbles away dramatically   

"Yuji, I knew you were stupid, but I didn't think you were that stupid." Nobara shakes her head in mock pity clearly making fun of him with most of the audience actually thinking he was that stupid  

"Hey! There's a perfectly good explanation for what happened!" Yuji yells defensively  

"Uh huh." Nobara replied sarcastically.        

"Huh?" Yuji asks flabbergasted        

Sasaki called out Yuji's name ominously while Iguchi looked pissed       

"No, I wrote down the occult club." Yuji tried explaining       

"I rewrote it!" A new person arrives and reveals himself to be the culprit behind this misunderstanding       

"The track and field coach, Takagi!" Yuji exclaims       

"Itadori, we need you so we can conquer the nationals!" The coach yells out.   

"See! I'm still just the regular amount of stupid!" Yuji says feeling vindicated with the rest of audience sweat dropping and collectively thinking "Does he not realize he just admitted to being stupid?"    

Mimiko and Nanako were confused however not really understanding what they were talking about as they didn't go to school but they didn't want to bother Geto with their questions just yet so they decided to wait and see if they can figure it out through context clues.      

"A teacher more problematic than the students just showed up..." Thought the President who has a spotlight shown on him and he appears to have been forgotten by the other occupants in the room   

Nanami and Utahime felt the President's pain they do have to deal with the rigid higher ups and even worse Gojo.  

"Give it a rest! How many times do I have to tell you I refuse?" Yuji retorts back to the insane coach       

"You can't!" The coach replies back stubbornly        

"Why can't I?!" Yuji asks rightfully shocked that he can't       

"However, I'm not some demon! If you can beat me, then I'll give up on you. Let's settle it fair and square on the track!" The coach completely unreasonably demands        

Yuji being the loveable idiot he is agrees to this ridiculous contest with his equally dumb and loveable friends cheering for him in the background while the coach poses in the foreground   

"Itadori, you know you didn't have to agree to that right?" Nanami surprisingly asks   

"Huh? Oh yeah I know but I didn't really see the harm in it." Yuji replies with a shrug not seeing the big deal  

"Sweetie, teachers aren't allowed to do that, it's a blatant misuse of their power. If that happens again, I want you to tell an actually responsible teacher. Okay?" Yoshino chimes in with a worried but stern look with Nanami nodding in agreement.  

"Sure, I can do that." Yuji says and while he still doesn't quite grasp the problem he decides to take their word for it.  

"Good." Nanami nods in approval  

"Ohh did you take a liking to my student already Na-na-mi?" Gojo asks teasingly  

"No. As adults we have an obligation to set an example for children and someone in a position of power acting like that is detrimental to them growing up in a healthy manor." Nanami explains not giving in to Gojo's teasing with Utahime nodding in agreement.  

"Lameee." Gojo responded acting as if he doesn't care though inwardly, he agrees and decides to attempt to implement it when teaching his current students, he does want to be a good teacher after all however, he'd rather die than admit that to a boring stiff like Nanami, so he'll keep it to himself for now.   

Gojo's blasé response to Nanami's answer pissed Utahime off, she manages to refrain from saying anything as she decided it wasn't worth it to cause a scene and simply huffs and looks back to the screen waiting for it to continue.  

While those conversations were happening Junpei looked at Nanami feeling happy and reassured that when he's able to tell the audience about him getting a cursed technique from Mahito he'll be one of the faculty at the school and not someone like his previous teacher.  

Nanako and Mimiko meanwhile were slowly putting together what's going on based on the events on screen and Nanami's input making it clear that what the teacher did wasn't normal.  

"Is it I "fair and square" to rewrite a student's club application?" The president thinks as he is apparently the only one in the room with a braincell.    

Nanami and Utahime once more feel a kinship towards this boy especially after just interacting with Gojo.     

The screen then cuts back to Megumi who while walking through the schoolyard was pondering about whether or not a dead body was buried at the school based on the cursed spirits presence. He also thinks it's somewhat surprising that it's such a high-grade thinking it was probably due to the cursed objects presence.   

"Yes! I knew Sasaki was right!" Yuji pumps his fist in the air happy that his friend was proven right.  

Megumi gives a smirk at his enthusiasm which he notices and it makes him realize something  

"Wait. you knew and you didn't tell me?" Yuji asks in mock betrayal  

"One. I couldn't due to the spoiler rule." Megumi begins saying with Yuji nodding in understanding  

"Two. Even if I could tell you I wouldn't, because I thought it would be funnier if it came as a surprise." Megumi finishes with a dry look on his face though Yuji could see the amusement in his eyes.  

"I didn't know you could do something so mischievous, not bad." Nobara smirks at him impressed with Megumi only giving a small shrug and a slight smirk in response  

"I'm surrounded by fakers! At least I still have you Junpei" Yuji playfully holds his chest and looks to Junpei with fake tears  

"I actually thought it was pretty funny too." Junpei says scratching his cheek nervously not used to being in the spotlight.  

"See Yuji even our little Junpei agrees that it was funny." Nobara says while slinging her arm over Junpei's neck which causes him to stiffen, when she notices this, she takes her arm off him without drawing to much attention and gives him an apologetic look and he gives her a hidden thumbs up and a smile showing there are no hard feelings.  

"I'll get you guys back for this." Yuji mutters crossing his arms and gives a dramatic huff while looking back at the screen thinking of a way he can pull something similar  

"Sure, you will." Megumi says while patting his back  

The screen shows a picture of said object wrapped in paper in a wooden box   

"You know for a cursed object it sure has a really nice-looking box. Is there a reason for that Mr. Nanami?" Yoshino asks curiously  

"Not as far I'm aware." Nanami responds in a slightly lighter tone which Shoko notices and files it away for future reference.  

 "Oh okay. Thank you  Mr. Nanami." Yoshino says with a smile  

"You're welcome, Miss. Yoshino." Nanami says while nodding his head  

"Oh, you can just call me Yoshino calling Miss makes me feel old. Besides we're going to be here a while anyway no need to be strangers, right?" Yoshino tells him with chuckle.  

"Very well Yoshino. Though if I'm to drop the formalities with your name I'd like to ask you to do the same with mine." Nanami says agreeing while asking the same from her in return  

"You got it Nanami." Yoshino says in an easygoing tone with a smile and a thumbs up to which he gives a nod and they both then turn back to the screen  

Nobara meanwhile was looking back and forth between them and the rest of the theater wondering if anybody else saw and heard the obvious flirting that just happened before them and feeling crazy when nobody was reacting before she gave up on finding someone her eyes luckily fell on Shoko who gives her a slight smile and mouths "We'll talk about this later." while subtly pointing between Yoshino and Nanami which makes Nobara feel relieved that not only was she not crazy she has someone else to talk to about it so gives Shoko a thumbs up and looking back at the screen.  

Megumi's thoughts are getting slightly more desperate as he wonders who moved it and to where.   

Yuji has another moment of guilt and sorrow cross his face before it gets covered up this time however Yuta was the one who saw it by chance  

"I should talk to him after this episode is over. If he is like me then he could use someone to talk to who understands." Yuta thinks while clenching his fists slightly  

"Hey you, okay?" Maki asks worried after she notices Yuta tensing up and clenching his fists.  

"I'm fine, I just made a decision that if I'm right and he's like me then I'm going to talk to Itadori after this episode and let him know that someone understands." Yuta says while looking her directly in the eyes with a confident smile and pure determination in his gaze which causes her to feel slightly flustered at his confidence.

"W-well good. You've come a long way from the nervous boy you were before and I'm proud of how far you've come, if you need someone there when you talk to him then I-we will gladly help. Right guys?" Maki says with a proud smile after getting her emotions under control and hoping that he didn't catch her little slip up.  

"Of course, Maki-I mean we will definitely be there if you need it." Panda says happily with a thumbs up with Maki glaring at him after noticing his slip up  

"Salmon flakes.(You're our friend of course Maki-I mean we will help.)" Toge says giving a similar thumbs up as panda which makes Maki glare harder at both of them now.  

"You're doing that on purpose!" Maki growls causing Panda and Toge to become nervous, luckily for both of them before she can do anything Yuta talks again  

"Thank you, but this is something I 'd like to do alone but you're offer means a lot." Yuta says giving them a smile   

"Alright, I understand but if you change your mind, we'll be right here so don't hesitate to call on us." Maki says trusting his judgement with Panda and Toge giving nods of agreement.  

"I promise." Yuta gives his word glad that they understand and with that they all give the screen their attention once more.     

The other students seem to be excited about something and when Megumi decides to listen in, he finds out its about Yuji competing with coach Takagi and feeling curious decides to go check it out       

First up is the coach who threw it fourteen meters which is quite impressive with Japans national record being eighteen meters and eighty-five centimeters   

"Not bad, for a regular person the fact that a high school coach got that close to the national record is impressive." Miwa says impressed not noticing Megumi and Nobara giving each other a knowing glance and getting ready for their reactions to Yuji's raw strength knowing it's going to be really entertaining.      

The students beging chanting "Itadori!"        

"Hey, is Itadori famous or something?" Sasaki asks Iguchi confused       

"They're probably tall tales, but I heard he beat all stages of Ninja Warrior, and that he's the reincarnation of Miriko Cro Cop." Iguchi explained       

"But Miriko's not even dead yet." Sasaki is even more confused now       

"Still, he earned the nickname "Tiger of West Middle." Iguchi reveals Yuuji's grand title       

"Lame." Sasaki was unimpressed with the amazing title because she has zero taste    

"It is a pretty lame nickname Yuji." Nobara agrees  

"Hey, I'm not the one who picked it." Yuji complains while pouting.  

"Fair enough." Nobara concedes willing to throw Yuuji a bone just this once  

"Hey, can I just throw this however I want?" Yuji asks the coach       

"Yep. I won't call any fouls, so throw however you please." The coach replied confidently "Sorry. I wanted to demonstrate how serious I am by intentionally choosing something that isn't your forte-" and as the coach was monologuing Yuji took up a lazy pitching stance and threw the ball over many student's heads with ease and into the football goal pole with the shot smoking from how hard it was thrown, and a student guesses the throw was roughly thirty meters with the screen confirming it was twenty-three meters and twelve centimeters   

The theater was in shock at the incredible strength Yuuji just displayed  

"Itadori did you use cursed energy to throw that ball?" Nanami asks with the rest of the audience looking incredibly interested as well  

Yuuji goes to answer but a black square appears over his mouth  

"No, why?" Yuuji says while rubbing the back of his head sheephishly 

"It's nothing you need to worry about right now Itadori." Nanami responds not noticing that Yuji called him Nanamin as he was too busy thinking "How could he have that kind of strength? It can't a heavenly restriction as he can use cursed energy now, nor does he appear injured in anyway so what is it?"   

"Itadori if you did that without cursed energy then you and I are going to arm wrestle later, understood?" Maki basically demanded incredibly eager to test her strength against someone who might be as physically strong as her   

"Sure, sounds fun." Yuuji says not really seeing why everyone is so shocked  

"That's right Yuji! Show that corrupt coach who's boss!" Yoshino boasts happy that the coach got beat so soundly at his own game  

Miwa had stars in her eyes at the strength Yuuji and wondered if he was like Mai's sister  

Geto was while initially shocked at the strength displayed but after thinking about it realized that he either used cursed energy or he was a monkey with a heavenly restriction and no cursed energy like that Zenin girl

The rest of the audience decided to wait and see what his deal was  

"Yeah, I win!" Yuji oblivious to the herculean feat he just performed was just happy he won       

"He's more gorilla than tiger, isn't he?" Sasaki who is surprisingly chill asks rhetorically        

"That was a pitchers throw." Iguchi states the obvious   

"How are they not freaking out?" Nobara whispers to Yuji who just shrugged not knowing the answer.      

The coach is in complete shock in the background with students worryingly crowding around him as Yuji walks back to his friends obliviously       

"Itadori, you'd do well on a sports team. You don't have to force yourself to stay in our occult club, y'know." Sasaki tells Yuji not wanting to hold him back like the amazing friend she is       

"Huh? But as much as you two love scary things, you couldn't go to haunted places without me, could you?" Yuji who is just as good as a friend points out       

"We're scared because we like it." Sasaki says embarrassed       

The students have now began posing and taking photos with the broken coach        

"Besides, this school requires everyone to be in a club, right?" I couldn't keep up with this." Yuji points behind him to the absolute clown fest that is happening       

The screen then shows a flashback to how Yuji joined their club       

"You don't have to do anything! You can be a ghost member we're the occult club, after all!" Sasaki gives him an offer sounding slightly unhinged with Yuji turning to the camera and giving a grin       

The flashback ends and Sasaki embarrassed says "I did say that."        

"I want to be able to go home by 5 PM for my own reasons. So if it's Okay with you, I'd like to stay." Yuji noticeably hides specific details of his personal life by being as vague as possible       

"I like the atmosphere of the occult club a lot." Yuuji finishes saying with a content smile    

"Aww that's sweet." Miwa cooed as she's an absolute sucker for heartwarming scenes like this in stories 

"You got some good friends there Yuji." Yoshino says happily  

"Yeah, I know." Yuji says with a smile though Yoshino can see that it doesn't quite reach his eyes which slightly worried her  

"Well, if that's how it is, we don't mind." Sasaki said and Iguchi agreed with looks that show how touched they are by Yuji's genuineness and give him smiles of their own with Saskaki giving a fake villainous laugh to herself and Iguchi     

Megumi was impressed with the strength wondering if he was like Zen'in-senpai.  

After hearing that Geto found himself disappointed that he did turn out to be just another monkey who couldn't use Jujutsu as he thought might be an excellent friend to Mimiko and Nanako but alas it seems that that won't be happening. 

"Oh, it's already half past four!" Yuji grabs his backpack and calls out to the coach that he's leaving still not noticing that he completely broke this man, nor does he notice that the coach has shots balanced on his head and in one of his hands and after he runs off the coach finally falls over   

Yoshino smiled darkly at the scene of the coach being broken glad that he got what he deserved.     

As Yuji is running by Megumi feels a presence of pure malevolence which he recognizes as the cursed object he makes an attempt to call out to Yuji however he is too fast and is already out the gate with a student mentioning they heard he can run fifty meters in three seconds and a second asking if he's a car while Megumi makes another hilarious face.  

"Can you actually run that fast?" Nobara asks Yuji 

"Hmm. Maybe? I've never actually timed how fast I can run." Yuji answered as best he could. 

"Even I couldn't run that fast without training." Maki thought getting more intrigued by Yuji.  

"That would explain how he was able to run around the block so fast." Junpei mutters to himself wondering how Yuji was so strong. 

The rest of the audience while surprised were prepared for it this time at least.    

The screen then cuts to a montage of Yuji going to a florist to purchase flowers then Yuuji waiting to cross the street while looking at a baby. He then arrives to his grandfather's hospital room who promptly scolded Yuji saying he told him not to come and tells him to stop buying flowers to bring with him "You always give me that. Besides, these aren't for you. They're for the nurses." Yuji replies back to him with a bit of sass  

"Ohhh? I didn't know you were such a lady killer Yuji~." Knowing how this ends Gojo decided to tease Yuji a bit to lighten his mood a bit. 

"I just said that as a clap back! I wasn't serious!" Yuji exclaims not wanting people to get the wrong idea about him 

"You know it's pretty sad that you have to give flowers to your grandpa because of how hopeless you are with women." Nobara says joining in on the teasing which causes Yuji to look dejected. 

"I think it's sweet you still bring him flowers Itadori." Miwa chimes in supportively having taken care of sick relatives before and getting them flowers  

"Thanks Miwa!" Yuji says happily perking back up with Miwa giving him a smile and a thumbs up in response.  

"All the more reasons not to, you fool! And what about your club? Go to your club! Your club!" Yuj's grandfather shouts but Yuuji is unbothered by this and responds calmly while still unwrapping the flowers "Oh, chill out. It ends before 5 PM. I wouldn't be visiting you if I didn't have the free time."       

"Good" His grandfather replies satisfied with his answer "Then listen to me, since I've got free time, too." Yuji cuts him off however and just tells him he's not interested "Just listen well. There's something I want to tell you before the end. It's about your parents." Yuji cuts him off again and reiterates that he's not interested and asks him to stop trying to act all cool before he dies which his grandfather gets offended by and shouts that every man wants to go out in style, and I mean he's not wrong.  

The audience was slightly disappointed that Yuji didn't hear what his grandpa said. 

"You really should have listened to him; it could have been important." Yoshino lightly chides Yuji.

"Nah, he was just trying to look cool, and I didn't want to hear it." Yuji says nonchalantly though deep down he knows he just didn't like hearing his grandfather talking about his death.     

"Quit snapping over everything." Yuji responds calmly once again while putting the flowers in a vase by his window "You can just be yourself." Yuji tells him while looking a bit somber       

"Tsk. Lax upbringing." Yuji's grandfather says before turning on his side and closing his eyes       

"Yuji." Yuji's grandfather calls to which Yuuji turns his head to listen       

"You're a strong kid, so help others. Even if it's only those closest to you, just save the people you can. It's okay if you lose your way, and don't worry about whether they'll thank you or not. Just save as many people as you can, even if it's only one. When you die you should be surrounded by people. Don't end up like me." Yuji's grandfather said and as he was talking Yuji began realizing these are his final words and after a long pause of silence Yuji calls out "Grandpa?" the screen then cuts to the same nurse from earlier in the episode receiving a call and asking what's the matter and when she gets no response, she tries saying hello to see if someone is there before realizing its Yuji holding back tears and yet he is refusing to let them fall "My grandpa... is dead."

A majority of the audience while no stranger to death nor the loss of loved ones still felt a pang of sympathy for Yuji losing his grandfather

Geto while watching the scene felt the same familiar numbness he felt anytime he either killed a non-sorcerer or saw one died with his only thought being "It's better this way."  Though he did have enough sense to not say it out loud.

Mimiko and Nanako while didn't care about the "rude old man" die, they didn't like seeing Yuji upset about it for reasons they don't fully understand so they keep quiet.

Nobara puts her hand on Yuji's shoulder and asks him quietly "You alright?" with a concerned look.

"Yeah, I'm good this happened a while ago." Yuji says attempting to shrug it off.

Megumi and Nobara share a look of concern and sit a little closer to Yuji to show their support and while Yuji doesn't comment on it he is glad they did so.

"sniffle" Miwa however is openly crying at the scene and Muta wanting to comfort her puts his hand on hers to which she grabs and holds it tightly.

"It's so sad Mechamaru!" Miwa sobs.

Muta not knowing what to say simply gives her hand a gentle squeeze.

Yoshino has a few tears in her eyes thinking "Oh my poor baby." 

"That was good advice, your grandpa was a wise man." Utahime says to Yuji which makes him smile a little brighter.

a series of scenes then play showing Yuji's grandfather being wheeled away with Yuji just standing there he then packs up some stuff before cutting to him filling out some paperwork       

"Okay. That's all of the necessary paperwork." The nurse says kindly       

"Okay. Thank you for everything." Yuji replies somewhat somberly       

"Are you sure you're, okay?" The nurse asks       

"Well, this is my first time dealing with something like this, so it doesn't feel real yet. Grandpa would snap if I kept moping around forever, though, so I'll just have to laugh as I roast him up." Yuji attempts to joke with a smile that's noticeably smaller than usual.

The audience is a bit surprised at how well he's taking it as well as the comment he made but they brushed it off, though a couple people notice something the others don't. 

"If this problematic habit of his persists I'll have to talk to him but for now I'll wait and see if he loses it as time progresses." Nanami thought to himself.

"Is he pushing down and hiding his grief?" Nobara and Megumi both had similar thoughts to one another as they know how much of a bleeding-heart Yuji is so they know he wouldn't be fine that quickly.

"Phrasing!" The nurse recognizes he's grieving and responds back in jest.       

Yuji hears footsteps and turns to see Megumi standing ominously in the dark hallway "Itadori Yuji, right?" Yuuji and the nurse look confused "I'm Fushiguro from Jujutsu High. I'd like to have a word with you. Now."

"Megumi, It's you!" Yuji exclaims excitedly

" "Sigh" I can see that Yuji." Megumi sighs tiredly      

The screen then cuts to another more isolated part of the hospital "Um, I'm in mourning right now." Yuji tells Megumi as if he's talking about the weather

The concerned three make another mental note of Yuji's attitude.      

"Sorry, but there isn't time. The cursed object you possess is very dangerous. Hand it over to me right now." Megumi apparently learned tact from Gojo       

"Cursed object?" Yuji asks confused       

"This." Megumi shows the same picture as before       

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I found that." Yuji says light heartedly while Megumi looks between angry and terrified while Yuji continues "I don't mind either way, but my senpai took a liking to it. What do you mean "dangerous"?" Yuji asks Megumi as he leans against a bench

The audience sweat drops at how causal Yuji is about this, though Yoshino leans forward in concentration as she wants to know what her sons are getting into.       

"The number of unexplained deaths and missing persons within Japan exceeds 10,000 a year on average. Most of those are the result of curses."       

"Curses?" Yuji is now laying sideways as he asks this not really taking him seriously but still paying attention       

"I don't care if you believe in them or not. They're real. I'll go on. Large pools of negative energy form especially easily in schools, hospitals, and so on. Hardship, regret, shame... The negative emotions of mankind become the source of curses. That's why most schools secretly keep a cursed object such as a protective talisman. The object you found is one of them."       

"If it's protecting us, shouldn't we be grateful for it?" Yuji asks now from behind the bench now for some reason.       

"Let me finish." Megumi says getting fed up with the questions.

"Temper~" Nobara teases Megumi who gains whose response is a not-so-subtle glare in her direction which makes her and Yuji snicker.      

"Placing a cursed object of greater evil is a deadly poison that keeps other curses away. It's a bad practice that only claims to protect. Over the years, its seal weakens, and then it becomes bait to lure in and fatten up other curses. The object you found is a dangerous one, classified as special grade. Hand it over before people start dying." Megumi demands

Though the rest of the audience didn't notice Gojo could tell Megumi while aggressive was pleading with Yuji to give it to him "He's such a tsundere~" Gojo thought amused.   

"Hey, I already said I don't mind that. So go tell it to my senpai." Yuji says as he tosses it to Megumi however when Megumi opens the box it's revealed to be empty, and he realizes that he was just following the taint that clung to the box. He the grabs Yuji as he's walking away and demands to know where the contents are "I already told you, my senpai... have it..." Yuji trails as he remembers something "What?" Megumi asks desperately "Actually, they were talking about removing the talisman from it tonight at the school." Yuji informs him.

The audience feels a sense of dread at this.

Megumi upon hearing this takes a step back in shock "What? Is that bad?" While Yuji may not have believed Megumi he is still concerned for his friend's safety to which Megumi tells him straight up "It's worse than bad. They're going to die"  

"Pretty blunt there Megumi." Gojo teases in an attempt to lighten the mood which gets him eyerolls and scoffs in return.     

The screen cuts back to the school with the only light on in the building being the one in the occult research room       

"I can't get it off." Sasaki said as she tried to undo the wrappings on the object       

"Did we really need to sneak in to do this?" Iguchi asked worriedly before making to get up and saying, "I'm turning on the lights."       

"No! The atmosphere's important! Enjoying the thrill is in the spirit of the occult club, isn't it? It's not like anything's going to happen, anyway." Sasaki reassured Iguchi while still attempting to get the seal off and after a bit of work the paper finally gave.

"Those ignorant monkeys should have left that alone." Geto thought bitterly.

The rest of the audience had their dread increase ten-fold.     

"Oh, it came off!" Sasaki said happy that she did it and Iguchi who is back to being invested in this decides to sit back down and leans closer as she peels off more and more of the paper, both have nervous looks on their faces as the paper finally comes off before they gasp in disgust at seeing a severed mummified finger       

"A human finger?" Iguchi asked as if unsure if that was really what he was seeing       

"Is it real?" Sasaki asked a bit frightened while looking at it and almost as soon as she finished her question their candle went out       

"Is this..." Sasaki begin while both she and Iguchi look steadily more distressed before a loud tremor scares them Sasaki hoping to stop whatever's happening tries to re-cover the finger with the paper not knowing it's a futile endeavor.    

"What is this?" Sasaki asks as both she and Iguchi look terrified however unknown to them a grotesque cursed spirit was coming down from the ceiling.

The audience felt a pit of helplessness form in their gut.

Yuji and Megumi while not showing it outwardly, they both feel like they should have done more or gotten there faster.      

The screen then cuts to Yuji and Megumi running       

"Do talismans come off that easily?" Yuji asks       

"No, it's impossible for people who lack cursed energy. Normally." Megumi explains.       

"Go right! It's a shortcut!" Yuji informs Megumi       

"This time the object itself is too strong. The seal is ancient. It might as well be plain paper." Megumi continues his explanation without missing a beat       

"I still don't get all this stuff about curses." Yuji complains and while he's taking the threat seriously, he doesn't fully believe Megumi yet       

"Where are they?" Megumi shouts       

"Fourth floor!" Yuji says simply before being stopped by some type of pressure "What is this pressure?" Yuji asks he wouldn't get an answer as Megumi orders him to stay here before climbing the fence Yuji however is not content with that "I'm coming, too! It's dangerous, right? I've only known them a few months, but they're my friends. I can't just stand by!" Yuji declares.       

Megumi while looking somewhat conflicted steels himself and reiterates "Stay here." Before leaving him behind.

The audience while understanding how Yuji feels believe Megumi made the right decision.

"You went anyway." Nobara says while looking at Yuji

Yuji gives her a sheepish grin which just makes her irritated

"Idiot." Nobara says before looking back to the screen.    

The scene then cuts back to the club room with the door destroyed and a squelching noise is heard       

"What time is it?" A disturbing voice asks while Sasaki is seen hiding with her hands over her mouth "The hour hand is at eleven." The cursed spirit responds to itself as it walks past where she's hiding.

Yoshino feels horrified at the curse's appearance and even more so when she realizes her children would be dealing with those things

The rest of the audience watched on with bated breath       

"What is that monster?" Sasaki thinks to herself .

Yuji subtly clenches his fist "They must have been so scared, and I put them in that situation." Yuji thinks with intense guilt and rage at the curse for terrorizing and hurting his friends.    

"S-Sasaki..." Iguchi says as he limbers towards her from the dark       

"Iguchi? Thank goodness! Where have you-" Sasaki's relief is short lived however as Iguchi walks further into the light begging for help as it's revealed that a cursed spirit had grabbed a hold of his head and things get worse when the spirit from earlier spots Sasaki and grabs her face.

"Gasp!" Yoshino let's out a startled gasp at what happened

Junpei who heard her gasp looked at her and saw how pale and terrified she looked, so he wanting to comfort her he silently gets up and goes back to sit with his mom who wraps him in a tight hug that he happily returns.

Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi notice him leave but don't react beyond an approving nod in his direction.      

The scene then cuts to Megumi running up the stairs as fast as possible while thinking to himself "The curse has been unleashed! Its presence is still all over the place!" As he continues running, he encounters a cursed spirit        

"Out of the way! Demon Dogs!" Megumi yells out while making a hand sign after that Two wolves rise from the shadows howling one of them as white as the moon the other as black as night       

"You can eat it." Megumi tells the dogs.

The audience feel some of the tension leave them when they saw Megumi arrive as they trusted his capabilities.      

The screen then cuts back to Yuji looking at the school asking himself if he's really just going to wait there like Megumi told him to and asking himself what he's so afraid of as a memory of Megumi saying his friends were going to die goes through his mind and he realizes something       

"That's right. I can sense death all the way out here. I'm afraid of dying. Was I afraid of it then? It didn't feel like I was, though. I didn't cry because I was scared. I was just a little sad. But my grandpa's death and the death I'm facing now... How are they any different?" Yuji says to himself before another memory goes through his mind of his grandpa being taken away which then cuts to Yuji with his hands shaking but then Yuji remembers his grandfather's last words to him which causes Yuji to steel himself and make a decision.

The audience while have differing thoughts on what they know Yuji is about to do decide to hold their opinions for now as they wanted to see what happens next.      

The screen then shows Megumi decimating the low grade cursed spirits and running towards where the research club is        

"The curses are growing in number. They're close." He says to himself as he turns a corner and stops as he sees the cursed spirit has Iguchi upside down in one of its mouths and holding and groping Sasaki with its multiple hands       

"Found them." Megumi says to himself.

The audience feels a familiar disgust at seeing what the curse is doing to Sasaki as curses often do things like that.

Yoshino seeing this hugs Junpei even tighter.      

The screen once again shows Yuji who grabs onto the bars of the gate       

"He was short-tempered and stubborn. No one but me ever paid him a visit. 'Don't end up like me,' huh? That's true." Yuji thinks to himself while looking through the gates.

Miwa while doesn't say anything out loud feels upset on Yuj's grandfather's behalf as she couldn't imagine not bothering to see her relatives on their death bed, no matter how short-tempered.      

"Damn it! Is it trying to swallow her along with the cursed object?!" Megumi is having a difficult time with the cursed spirit and realizing he won't be able to kill it in time. The cursed spirit then looked towards the window to see Yuji jumping from the ground all the way to the fourth fucking floor he then proceeds to kick through the window rights himself in the air.       

"Itadori!" Megumi yells shocked that he's here.       

"I think you had a proper death, Grandpa. But..." Yuji then proceeds to punch the cursed spirit, grab his friends and jumps away "This death... is wrong!" Yuji thinks as he looks back to the cursed spirit before gently laying his Iguchi down.

The audience has no idea how to react to the herculean feat Yuji just accomplished without any cursed energy.

"Even I can't vertically jump four stories that casually!" Maki exclaims with her jaw on the floor.

Geto's brain is currently short-circuiting at a non-sorcerer preform such a feat.

"Wooooo! Let's go Yuji!" Gojo cheers while waving two flags with a poor drawing of Yuji's face on them.

"Ha, I knew my brother would rise to this challenge." Todo says "knowingly" with his arms crossed and a confident smile on his face.

"I wonder if he'll let me do a thorough physical examination?" Shoko asks herself incredibly intrigued about Yuji's Anatomy

"They're crazy!" the rest of the audience thought in disbelief.

Yoshino is both happy and horrified at Yuji being there, happy because he helped and horrified because he's so close to that monster.

"You weren't lying when you said you were strong before you ate that finger." Nobara said in awe at seeing it with her own eyes.

"I don't see what the big deal is? You guys can do a lot more impressive stuff!" Yuji says confused at the reactions everybody seems to be having.

Everyone decided to ignore what Yuji just said and decide to deal with that later.       

"So, this is a curse? Not what I was expecting." Yuji says while still holding Sasaki.       

Megumi was easily able to kill the curse now that the hostages were out of harm's way and begins walking towards Yuji.

The audience felt a lot calmer now that the curse was dead.      

"I want to ask you what you're doing here, but good job." Megumi commends Yuji while his dogs eat the what's left of the cursed spirit.       

"Why so haughty?" Yuji mumbles to himself before asking "By the way, what's that munching on the curse?"       

"My shikigami. You can see them, then? Normally a curse can't be seen. Not unless you're on the verge of death or in special places like this." Megumi explained without really answering his question.

"Hey! I just realized you dodged my question then!" Yuji cries out offended

"I didn't think it mattered at the time." Megumi replies.

"Hmph" Yuji crosses his arms and looks at the screen upset.    

"Yeah, that makes sense. I've never seen a ghost or anything before tonight." Yuji replied       

"You're not scared, are you?" Megumi asks       

"Well, I was scared for a bit. But did you know? People really can die." Yuji states       

"Huh?" Megumi asks confused       

"So I at least want the people I know to have proper deaths. Not that I really get it myself." Yuji further elaborates before slowly standing up before catching the cursed finger that fell out of Sasaki's pocket.

"A noble goal but it's also vague and potentially dangerous." Nanami thought nihilistically.   

"This it?" Yuji asks while holding up the finger       

"Yeah. That's the special grade cursed object, Ryomen Sukuna's finger. It's a miracle it didn't get swallowed." Megumi confirms and explains what it is.       

"Why would anything eat it? Does it taste good?" Yuji asks for some reason genuinely curious about its taste.

"..." Nobody had any words for Yuji's odd thought process.

"This feels like foreshadowing." Junpei thought as he's seen similar things said in movies.      

"Don't be stupid. You'd do it to gain stronger cursed energy. It's dangerous, so hand it over already." Megumi tells him       

"Sure, sure." but as Yuji was reaching out to give Megumi the finger another cursed spirit attempts to grab Yuji through the ceiling

The audience jumps at the cursed spirits sudden appearance.      

"Run!" Megumi screams as he pushes Yuji and gets grabbed instead with Yuji getting knocked back by the shock wave and shields Sasaki's body with his own he then puts her down and looks up and sees a massive, cursed spirit with Megumi in its hand.      

"Fushiguro!" Yuji yells out worried.

The audience while knowing Megumi is fine are still worried about his safety.      

"Nue!" Megumi does another hand sign and calls out before being slammed into a wall and both his dogs begin to melt back into the shadows Megumi struggles to look up and gets thrown through the wall onto the roof       

"Damn it, I can't think straight." Megumi said frustrated and is shown with his hands shaking and blood coming from his head but before the spirit can do anything Yuji jumps onto it before jumping back in the air.       

"Itadori! Why can't you understand to take those two and run?!" Megumi yells out       

"You're in big trouble yourself!" Yuji yells back while dodging the spirits attacks midair and grabbing onto an arm that tried to hit him which slams him into the ground before flinging him up.

"He's quite good despite having no cursed energy or fighting experience especially in those conditions." Nanami, Maki, Utahime, and Geto thought while watching the fight.

"My student looks real cool right?!" Gojo whisper yells to Shoko who just goes along with it and nods.      

"Only curses can exorcise other curses! You can't beat it!" Megumi shouts again trying to get Yuji to leave.       

"Is this the time to be saying that?!" You're going to die at this rate!" Yuji yells while continuing to dodge he then proceeds to grab its arm drag it to the side of the roof and breaking it on the railing before jumping back up and grabbing onto its hair "If I went home now, I'd be having nightmares!" Yuji tells Megumi while kicking the spirit in the eye which regenerates "Besides, I have my own... troublesome curse already!" Yuji yells once more before dodging another punch however the spirit finally got a hit in and launched Yuji up in the air as he accidentally let go of the finger causing it to fly up in the air which the spirit notices as it grabs Yuji and opens its mouth to eat him and the finger Yuji notices this however and manages to jump up and catch the finger in his teeth.

The audience have a bad feeling about what Yuji might do and start to eye the Yuji in the theater wearily.      

"You idiot! Hand it over to me or you'll be eaten, too!" Megumi desperately pleads Yuuji to save himself as the cursed spirit attempts to force Yuji into its mouth but with quick thinking and reflexes Yuji was able to prevent this by standing on its teeth though with it using its extra arms he won't last long if something doesn't change Yuji then remembers what Megumi told him about eating the finger and knows what he has to do as he flips the finger in the air with his mouth       

"There is a way to save everyone! I just need some cursed energy, right, Fushiguro?!" Yuji yells to Megumi who looks horrified by what he's doing "Don't" he whispers before shouting desperately "Don't do it!" but it was to late as Yuji had just consumed the finger.

The audience watch in anticipation for what will happen.      

"Ryomen Sukuna's finger! That's a special-grade cursed object! It's a deadly poison! He'll die for sure! But there's a one in a million... a one in a milion chance..." Megumi thinks incredibly distressed while looking at Yuji almost get eaten however before the cursed spirit can do so its hands get cut into pieces by what appears to be Yuji who lands in front of Megumi with his arms limp and his head hung low the screen then shows a closeup of Yuji's hand as marks appear on it and the Spirit begins to charge at him but before it reach "Yuji" he swipes his hand up and slices its head into pieces with more of  "Yuji" being shown like his nails being shaper and darker and his face being covered in dark markings as well and as the sky begins to clear two eyes open on "Yuji's" before one closes and the other looks around as he begins to laugh "Ah, I knew it! The light feels best in the flesh!" He says as he rips off his jacket and shirt showing an incredibly fit body with even more markings.       

"This is the worst! A one-in-a-million-chance, worst-case outcome! The special-grade cursed object has incarnated!" Megumi thinks terrified.

"Gojo. Did you-" Utahime gets cut off before she could tear into him

"Utahime, you should know I would never put my precious students in danger, and while I can't say anything right now due to this spoiler effect know that it's under control." Gojo says uncharacteristically serious.

While Utahime may not like Gojo she does admit that while Gojo maybe an immature, annoying brat, he wouldn't put others in danger without a good reason.

"Fine, I'll back off for now but I better hear a damn good reason that ticking time bomb is still alive and the fact that you hid it from us." Utahime says tensely and Nanami who had similar feelings agreed with Utahime's statement.

"You'll get one, I promise." Gojo reassures.

"So that's why you were tied up, I definitely need to talk to him soon." Yuta thought feeling more determined than before.

Meanwhile the rest of the students (with the exception of Maki, Panda, Toge, and Yuta.) look at Yuji with fear and anger.

Nobara and Megumi notice this sit even closer to Yuji.

"So, does Sukuna have something against shirts?" Nobara asks Yuji.

"I don't know?" Yuji replies thoughtfully.

"Think we can mess with him by putting you in a ton of layers of shirts?" Nobara says while grinning devilishly.

"Only one way to find out! You in Megumi and Junpei?" Yuji asks them excitedly.

"Sure." Megumi shrugs

"Yeah, that sounds fun." Junpei says with a hesitant smile.

"Sweet!" Yuji exclaims while pumping his fist.

The rest of the students seeing this exchange feel their fear and anger lessen considerably.

"So that's why Gojo has a non-sorcerer as a student." Geto thought realizing he misunderstood Yuji and his circumstances.

"I wonder what pact he made to be able to stay himself." Geto thought, his mind running one thousand miles per hour with the possibilities.

"I'm not worried, I know my brother has something amazing up his sleeve." Todo says with confidence.

The rest of the audience not wanting to deal with his delusions simply turn back to the screen.

"A cursed spirit's flesh is so boring. Where are the people? The women?!" Sukuna asks as he looks around "What a wonderful era to be in. Women and children are crawling everywhere like maggots. Marvelous! It'll be a massacre!" He says as he begins laughing again, he stops laughing though when "His" Hand grabs his face and drags him backwards "What do you think you're doing with my body? Give it back." Yuji asks Sukuna inside his head "How are you able to move?" Sukuna asks genuinely shocked "I mean, it's my body." Yuji responds as if it's obvious "He's suppressing me?" Sukuna asks himself intrigued by this new development.       

"Don't move. You're no longer human." Megumi informs Yuji who looks towards Megumi confused       

"Under Jujutsu regulations, Itadori Yuuji, I will exorcise you as a curse!" Megumi says with a conflicted expression.

The screen turns off leaving the audience shocked that Yuji could suppress the King of curses so casually. 

Geto currently is brain dead at seeing a monkey perform yet another incredible feat, with Mimiko and Nanako fussing over him.

Gojo meanwhile looks at Utahime and Nanami with a cocky grin which pisses them off.

"I'm so proud of you Yuji! That was amazing, though you almost gave me a heart attack haha." Yoshino says with relief and jubilation.

"As expected of my brother, the so-called king of curses is nothing compared to him." Todo says with pride at his "brothers" accomplishment.

The audience sees words show up on the black screen and decide to see what it says before making their thoughts known.

Next episode will begin shortly.

Four more guests will arrive before then so be prepared.

After you get acquainted feel free to discuss what you've seen so far and get some refreshments.

The audience then sees four doorways appear and wait anxiously to see who will join them.
