Shinjuku — December 24th, midday.

“The Showdown of the Strongest...”

Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of today, underwent rigorous training for an entire month, improving his usage of the Limitless, Reverse Cursed Technique and using his experience with the Prison Realm to refine his barrier techniques for his Domain Expansion, all in preparation for this battle.

Standing atop a skyscraper, Gojo's immense amounts of cursed energy radiate outwards into the environment to the point that even while afar you are able to sense his overwhelming presence, however, due to a barrier erected by Ijichi, his first strike is concealed. Utahime uses her Solo Forbidden Area technique, but instead of omitting the steps necessary, she dances to Gakuganji's music while using gestures and words to elevate her technique into a ritual, raising its output to 120% of its original potency while Gojo further increases it with incantations and hand signs of his own. “Kukou...” “...Henkou...” “...Harasu to shoumyo...” “...Hyouri no hazama.”

Like Utahime, Gojo does not skip even a single step in bringing out his technique to hit 200%.

“『Hollow Technique・Purple』” Gojo is the first one to draw with a pre-emptive strike, sending forth a virtual mass that carves through 4 kilometers of buildings between Shibuya and Shinjuku to reach you. You misread the immense cursed energy that was output in Gojo's opening move due to Ijichi's barrier and you are late to prepare for the strike, forcing you to opt for cursed energy reinforcement to resist the attack and swiftly, the building you stood was decimated, hurling to the ground with a burst of smoke and debris, taking the direct hit causing your reinforced hands to be lost.

As you step out from the cloud of dust, Gojo teleports onto a spot nearby by using his Blue to compress the distance between his location and yours, declaring, “Seems like you've got the wrong idea here, so let me set things straight. You're the challenger here!”
