Shinjuku turns even uglier. Hiromi Higuruma faces Sukuna head-on after the confiscation of the King of Curses' technique fails, cut off from Yuji Itadori and forced into a one-man gambit with nothing but a death sentence and a blade. His desperate sword strike is all he has left to buy a single beat of contact. Then Yuta Okkotsu reaches the ruined battlefield, opens his domain with Rika, and collides with the strongest curse left standing in a raw clash of copied techniques.
