Chapter 0: The start of the New Golden Age

“This... this can’t be real, right?”
CRACK
“What the hell did we just watch? It has to be fake—some elaborate Hollywood
stunt by Japan.”
CRACK
“Those monsters... and those people... they’re only in Tokyo, right? They can’t
be everywhere in Japan... can they? Are they connected to those structures that
just popped up all over the country?”
CRACK, CRACKLE
“Mr. President, the time to act is now. This is far worse than we imagined—
deeper than what that insane monk warned us about. First, the Japanese
sorcerers and those damn monsters wiped out 95% of the population. The
remaining 5% are either injured or traumatized. And now\... now they’ve shown
the entire world what they’re truly capable of—the death and destruction they can unleash. Even with those two monsters dead, the rest are too dangerous to
ignore. The time for action is NOW.”
CRACK, CRACKLE, CRACK
“Is this what the Japanese are capable of? Are these the so-called sorcerers and
curses that monk mentioned? If that’s their true power, we cannot fall behind.
The Americans have already moved. We must seize this power before those
honorless dogs claim it for themselves. The time to act is NOW.”
CRACK, CRACK, CRACK
“Mei Mei... you actually did it. You exposed Japan’s shameful truth to the world.
Oh, my darling descendant—you’ve made me so proud. You’ve given me hope
for our family... and for sorcery.”
CRACK, CRACK, CRACK, CRACK
“We must capitalize on this ‘jujutsu sorcery’ and these ‘curses’ before the rest
of the world does. The time to act is NOW.”
CRACK, CRACK, CRACK
“Yuji, Yuta... come to the Tombs of the Star Corridor—now. Something is wrong
with Tengen’s barriers. They’re breaking. We have to act before it’s too late.”
SHATTER. COLLAPSE.
---
On January 7th, 2019, all of Tengen’s barriers shattered and collapsed, marking
the official end of the Culling Games and the downfall of Kenjaku’s grand plan.
But more importantly—it ended Japan’s monopoly on jujutsu sorcerers and
curse spirits.
This collapse triggered a global chain reaction of cursed energy, awakening
innate techniques in millions upon millions of people worldwide.
Simultaneously, hundreds of millions of cursed spirits were born or awakened
across the globe.
The result? Mass death. Chaos. Despair.
Countless people died at the hands of threats they couldn’t see—victims of
newly born cursed spirits and awakened curse users who treated the weak like
playthings.
The world’s superpowers—the United States, China, Russia, South Korea,
Europe, India, and the Middle East—viewed the incident as both an act of war and a display of terrifying power by Japan. Desperate to contain the spread,
they considered resorting to nuclear annihilation.
But before launching a full-scale strike, these nations gave Japan a chance to
explain.
The Japanese government selected Principal Gakuganji and the sorcerers of the
Shinjuku Showdown—Yuji, Hakari, Yuta, Maki, Utahime, Noritoshi, Kusakabe,
Mei Mei, and Higuruma—as representatives to testify on behalf of Japan and all
jujutsu sorcerers.
Initially, the world leaders dismissed them—mere teenagers and young adults?
But after showcasing their overwhelming power and, with the help of Higuruma
and Gakuganji’s diplomacy, they were heard.
They revealed everything: the truth about the Culling Games, the hidden world
of jujutsu society, and the catastrophic consequences of nuking Japan.
After two days of tense negotiation, an agreement was reached: an international
binding vow that every nation would follow.
In exchange for not bombing Japan or hunting its citizens, Japan would:teach the world everything they knew about cursed energy: control, exorcism,
curse tool creation, New Shadow Style, barrier techniques, RCT, and more.
Assist nations in eliminating cursed spirits across the globe for the first year.
The New Shadow Style School, led by its new heads Kusakabe and Mei Mei, took
charge of global instruction in cursed energy fundamentals—Simple Domains,
Falling Blossom Emotions, and Domain Amplification—with help from Higuruma
and the Kamo Clan.
They trained military forces from the U.S., South Korea, and others, and
developed curse lenses and tools so civilians and law enforcement could defend
themselves against spirits and rogue sorcerers.
---
Thus began The Cursed Decade—ten years of constant survival, evolution, and
adaptation to the new cursed world.
Though to many it was a time of fear, to sorcerers it became a New Golden Age
of Jujutsu Sorcery.
It was a time when jujutsu sorcery evolved beyond anything seen before—fueled by technology and
human ingenuity.
Cursed spirits reached terrifying new heights, driven by the ever-growing
ocean of global negative emotion.
A new grading system emerged to classify the monstrous spirits appearing
across continents. Sorcerers arose who eclipsed even the legends—Satoru Gojo and Ryomen
Sukuna.
Long-lost foreign jujutsu styles returned—revived after centuries of obscurity.
Five new cursed energy superpowers rose across the world to rival Japan itself...
with a sixth soon to follow.
This is the story of what came after the main timeline—a world reborn in cursed
energy, twisted by chaos, but shining with new potential.
This is the New Golden Age of Jujutsu Sorcery.
