Thought to be dead, within Yuji's corpse his mind still exists within Sukuna's Innate Domain. Pleased with himself, Sukuna sits atop a mountain of skulls and tells the brat not to look up at him without permission. Irritated, Yuji simply replies that Sukuna should come down so he can look down on him. Sukuna feels like Yuji is being hostile which is obviously due to the fact that the curse essentially killed him. Yuji believes they're in the afterlife and is determined to punish Sukuna.

Yuji begins fighting against Sukuna but is quickly overwhelmed. Sukuna explains that this is not the afterlife and they're still in a suspended state of existence within Sukuna's mind. He wants to strike a deal with Yuji to fix his heart and asks for two conditions. The first being that he can use Yuji's body for a minute after using a key phrase and the second is that Yuji forgets this conversation. Yuji refuses to lend his body ever again, but Sukuna promises not to hurt anyone within that minute. Even so, Yuji doesn't believe Sukuna will uphold his side of the bargain

Elsewhere, Megumi visits Tadashi's mother to apologize for being unable to save him. He gives her the nametag he was able to take so she may have some closure. Immediately after, Megumi arrives to train with the other students. He and Nobara are being trained to fight better at close combat while elsewhere, Gojo trains Yuji to control his cursed energy.

Gojo uses cans to display the difference between cursed energy and a cursed technique. The first can is blasted with pure cursed energy and the second is twisted around using a cursed technique. Gojo compares cursed energy to electricity and cursed techniques to the appliances fueled by it. Yuji believes he's about to learn a good cursed technique but this is impossible. Sorcerers are born with Innate Techniques and this can only happen if the person has enough natural talent. Yuji is discouraged that he won't be able to access 80% of a normal sorcerer's skill set.
