Within the universe of JuJutsu Kaisen, curses are manifested from negative energy, while sorcerers exist to combat these malevolent forces. The system categorizes these entities into different grades based on their level of threat and power. Grades 4 and 3 represent the lower tiers, typically housing weaker curses and sorcerers, with exceptions like Maki Zenin, who, despite lacking significant cursed energy, possesses formidable strength.

Grades 2 and 1 are reserved for more potent sorcerers and curses, showcasing increased strength and danger. At the pinnacle lies the Special Grade, housing individuals and entities too formidable for lower grades to confront. Among these elite ranks stands Satoru Gojo, considered one of the most powerful in this category, currently engaged in unprecedented actions that defy expectations.

Yuji desperately fought to break free from the curse's relentless grip, his gaze fixed on his friends as they were swallowed by the ever-shifting flesh. Megumi, sensing the urgency, hastily rose to his feet, his mind racing to devise an effective course of action.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT2NtxX8A3
Megumi (Thoughts): “Dammit, what do I do about this? I can’t let it kill that kid, but it dispatched my wolves so quickly, I’ll have to figure out something.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInBbHhOnLS
Yuji grimaced and gritted his teeth, determined to maintain his grip on the finger. Driven by desperation, he pondered, "What the hell do I do now..." Recalling Megumi's cautionary words, he remembered, "The finger grants immense power, but the odds of success are incredibly slim."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsTnwY1oip
In a last-ditch effort, Yuji resorted to using his mouth to toss the finger into the air, readying himself to devour it. Suddenly, a surge of energy pulsed through the air, and to his surprise, the renowned Special Grade Sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, appeared seemingly out of thin air, rushing to his aid.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZdRmDnZ23
Gojo jumped up and stood on Yuji’s shoulders, looking down at him with a big smile.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGnj4gr2Go
Gojo: “Hey there you, need some help?”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKbXOAw5xu
Before Yuji could react, the finger he had tossed upward landed on Gojo's head, bouncing back into the air. Gojo glanced up in curiosity, only to have the finger fall straight into his mouth, which he swallowed without hesitation. The curse let out a deafening roar and attempted to seize Gojo with its distorted arm, but Gojo swiftly deployed his Infinity technique, thwarting the curse's attack.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF95ON5YjX
Seeing the sequence of events unfold, Megumi was left utterly bewildered by what he had just witnessed - Gojo had consumed one of Sukuna's fingers.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrZqyoy4jU
Megumi: “Gojo-sensei! You just ate one of Ryomen Sukunas fingers! You’ve got to spit it out!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBttr5GYkQ
Gojo stood there oddly silent for him, the curse continued trying to punch through Gojo’s Infinity. In Gojo’s mind, everything was blank, he looked around and in the distance spotted a figure. He blinked a few times but decided to call out to them, as he approached.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdd2jDDJun
Gojo: “Yo, who’re you? And where am I at?”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oXHfXWfzC
Approaching the figure, Gojo watched in astonishment as it slowly turned around, unveiling a startling sight: it was himself, but adorned with peculiar tattoos on his face, including what appeared to be smaller eyes beneath his main ones. This version of him sported sharp nails and lacked his usual jacket, showcasing strange tattoos covering his torso and arms.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhOUOh6784
Sukuna: “You, you are truly a worthy vessel..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg1LaYPOHK
Gojo's expression shifted from confusion to bewilderment as the void within him darkened. A towering pile of bones materialized beneath Sukuna, steadily increasing in height until a throne appeared at its peak, upon which Sukuna nonchalantly seated himself. Resting his cheek on his fist and crossing his legs, Sukuna exuded an air of superiority. Despite the ominous display, Gojo remained unperturbed, his gaze fixated on the towering bones. As he looked up at Sukuna, a myriad of questions swirled in his mind, leaving him with more uncertainties than clarity.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPErAMxhtcF
Gojo: “I heard about you, Sukuna.. I heard about the countless sorcerers and innocents you’ve slaughtered over your years of existence..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8NabzvSFp
In response Sukuna chuckles a bit, he crosses his legs the other way.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKRmaXkwDG
Sukuna: “Good to know I’m still relevant.. Don’t mind the bones sorcerer.. Just making myself at home before I take over for a bit..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CdKgraZh7
Gojo still looked confused, and he inquired further.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI93Mq1chqY
Gojo: “Take over?” The void filled with silence as Gojo thought for a second, he then smirked. “Ah, we’re in my mind, huh? Strange, I thought there’d be more to see in here, I’m not that stupid after all.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26TykHxSem
A rare moment of shared laughter ensued between Gojo and Sukuna. Sukuna wiped a tear from his eye, composing himself.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDSGgAXkZo
Sukuna: “You’re a funny one you know that? I’ll admit, I was worried I’d be hooked with some buzzkiller.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRby5vIwc3S
Gojo composed himself and responded casually.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyqGXJeJS0
Gojo: “Yeah, well, most don’t really get my sense of humor, but I just say they're too weak minded to get it.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlxHaeDkKs
Sukuna looked interested.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX73Yv7en8
Sukuna: “Weak minded you say.. Did they also lack true strength compared to yourself?”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveAXVNQBG7
Gojo nods.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNRve7I7zc
Gojo: “Yeah, most of them out there aint nothing compared to me.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLTYAne2N7
Sukuna: “I see, well now, they’re truly nothing compared to you.. With me tagging along as I am now, your latent power is already greater.. And it can become even greater should you consume all of my fingers.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4bHfHnJUi
A short pause ensued.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ177eYEr0sb
Sukuna: “Tell me, do you truly believe in wasting your time defending the weak..? Not a single bit of conflict within yourself one saying, ‘maybe defending these worthless brats isn’t worth my time..’ They consciously choose not to get stronger to defend themselves. So they must not want to be defended, right? Why not focus on making yourself stronger so you can crush those lazy maggots, create a world where the strongest survive and the weakling will die..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWKq9RABQn
Gojo was taken aback by the sudden change of tone, though he knew he shouldn’t be, he was considering Sukuna’s words. As he was, right then, something snapped, something inside of him. He didn’t care anymore, he didn’t care about protecting anyone, he didn’t care about teaching his students, nothing. All he felt at that moment was a seething desire for power, and a strong urge to crush all those deemed weak beneath his feet. It was a powerful feeling, and consumed him quickly.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pa34NKBeO
He didn’t fight it, it was what he wanted, all he wanted at that moment. He grinned, then he spoke to Sukuna.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBr3hrU1wV
Gojo: “Seems I’ve got my true feelings for humanity all figured out.. Then let's form a pact, we’ll get stronger, stronger than everyone.. I’ll get all your fingers, and as one we’ll create this new world, a world where we rule as Gods, and see to it that the weak perish.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuw4MDvsSj
Sukuna grins as well, rising from his throne, and making his way down to Gojo.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc7DViGjZF
Sukuna: “Glad you see it how it should be seen, but this plan will have to go smoothly.. So we can’t let anyone know what we're doing less we use them as a pawn to our plan..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZucPQPpk9o
Sukuna, now standing in front of Gojo, extends a hand.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjwd3BraDL
Sukuna: “I accept the pact.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pVhn3QGVk
Gojo nods, and shakes his hand.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsoM1oa8Xy
Back in the real world, the curse is just about to throw another reckless punch at Gojo. In no time and with much ease, Gojo halts the punch. He teleports to the ground, the same tattoos that were on Sukuna appeared on him, he took off his blindfold, opening all four of his eyes that shine blue. Mugumi was in disbelief at what he’s witnessing, Yuji was still struggling to get free, cursing under his breath. Gojo was no longer in control, now it’s Sukuna.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLgpkskdi0
Sukuna: “Dismantle..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0zTcFOP0I
Once that word was said, a massive slash was sent towards the corpse and cut it clean in half near instantly. It growled loudly and dropped Yuji, its body reacted to itself. It shot its gross arm towards Sukuna, but before it reached him Sukuna teleported to the side. He placed his hand on the curse’s arm.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72KREXJYCW
Sukuna: “Cleave..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtRThaA3hF
The curses entire arm is sliced up into tiny pieces, the curse let out a distorted yell of agony and began to grow out more arms trying to catch Sukuna off guard with a relentless barrage of punches. Sukuna disappeared in a flash, reappearing behind it and before anyone's thoughts could form, before a single thing could react, before 1 second, Sukuna cocked his arm back, his hand flaming with cursed energy, and right there, he threw out a black flash that landed and instantly blew up the curse into little bloody fragments.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY2pD1G6y6
Megumi and Yuji both watched this in absolute horror at his power. Sukuna turned towards Megumi, who responded by preparing to summon whatever he needed to fight this threat.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotu0A1a9cm
Megumi: “G-Gojo, you consumed one of Sukunas fingers and now house him as his vessel, by law I’m required to execute you..” He’d think to himself now. “What the hell am I talking about?! I can’t take him< stop Megumi! Submit!” His expression got firm but he’d gulp.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KcOEEGNOO
Yuji got up on his feet, and took a fighting position behind Sukuna.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlmxsKKtx1
Yuji: “What's up with this guy?”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3C5dtXHkW
They both began to circle Sukuna, analyzing him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2i757HjCG
Megumi: “That's Gojo, Special Grade Sorcerer, strongest in the world, and now he’s the vessel for Ryomen Sukuna, the one we absolutely do not want to wander earth. Especially not in Gojo’s body.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU0UePoQos
Yuji’s expression got firm, he knew to take this seriously now. Sukuna was just standing there, waiting for them to attack.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SZPmo5MgW
Yuji: “So all I’m hearing is, we're basically going to fight someone completely and utterly unstoppable.. You have to be crazy if you think we're gonna win this.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAPVds2aNB
Megumi: “You don’t exactly need to be here idiot, you can’t even use cursed energy.. You gotta get lost if you truly value your own life..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxzAM8yJdc
Sukuna grins.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K8MOIkGGZ
Sukuna: “I forbid it.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOv5zJtuFI
Both Megumi and Yuji freeze, Megumi inquires.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKPB6Ebm03
Megumi: “You.. Forbid it..?”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H4JRKxVpw
Sukuna: “That's right, because I’m in such a good mood, I’d like to offer a deal. You both will work under us and be by our side as we cleanse the world of the weak. And in exchange you both will be spared from an untimely demise. But I’ll give you both a chance to get out of this pact, if you can beat me, or even land a single hit on me, I’ll leave you both alone.”
Megumi (Thoughts): “If we run, he’ll kill us without hesitation.. But if we stay and fight we’ll lose and be his servants, but at least we’ll live.. But there is a chance, just a very, very slim chance that we meet the conditions to get off free..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H2snuogSA
Megumi’s expression gets firm.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoMkxgPcZM
Megumi: “Very well, if we land a hit then you can’t touch us at all. And if we lose..”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGk8iFu9cQ
Sukuna: “You will serve me..”
