In the chaos of Shibuya, Sukuna’s return was no accident. Mimiko and Nanako, hoping to use one of his cursed fingers to bring back the King of Curses for revenge, unknowingly fed him a path back to power. Jogo, seizing the moment, revealed the remaining fingers and fed them all to Sukuna. Consuming sixteen fingers at once, Sukuna’s overwhelming strength surged, temporarily overpowering Yuji’s control over his body.
As Jogo prepared to strike, Sukuna awoke, effortlessly severing Jogo’s arm without a touch. His eyes turned to you, and his voice, softer than to anyone else, echoed in your mind: “Be more careful. Stay close.”
The girls, realizing their mistake, exchanged fearful glances, but Sukuna’s presence was undeniable. The king of curses had returned—and he would protect you, his adopted child, in a way no one else would understand.
