After the Rain

Believed dead, Yuji wakes once more inside Sukuna's domain and faces the curse directly. He refuses every deal that would surrender his body and is bisected for his defiance. Yet against the odds he revives, and Gojo seizes the chance to keep his student off the records and train him in private.

Elsewhere, Megumi and Nobara start preparing for the Goodwill Event, and a gathering of cursed spirits begins plotting against Gojo from a quiet diner.

Within Sukuna's innate domain, the curse perches on a heap of skulls and pitches a binding pact: a borrowed minute of Yuji's body in exchange for repairing his damaged heart, plus the boy forgetting the talk entirely. Yuji rejects the terms outright, demanding to be brought back with no strings attached, and the two settle the dispute with a fight to the death that Sukuna wins instantly.

Frustrated by the loss, Gojo unloads to Ijichi about the rotten state of the sorcerer establishment and his wish to raise talents who can stand beside him, naming Okkotsu and Hakari among the prospects. Just as Shoko readies the body for dissection, Yuji returns to life, prompting Gojo to keep him listed as deceased for his safety.

At the diner, Geto, Jogo, and the other spirits weigh how to bring Gojo down. Geto steers them away from a direct assault toward the Prison Realm, and Jogo torches the entire establishment, vowing to claim the cursed object and end Gojo himself.

The episode adapts the tail end of Chapter 10 through the first half of Chapter 13 and belongs to the Fearsome Womb arc. Gojo's lessons cover the gap between raw cursed energy and a cursed technique, using cans and a comparison to electricity and appliances, and lay out the movie-watching regimen meant to teach Yuji steady energy control against a cursed corpse. Megumi, after returning Tadashi's nametag to his grieving mother, recalls Sukuna's habit of stashing tools in his own shadow.

The closing Juju Stroll, framed in a 4:3 ratio as Gojo Satoru's Go Go Gojo, has the teacher dispensing a bizarre piece of advice until an exasperated Yuji tells him to stop. The action ends with Jogo crashing down onto the freeway in front of a curious Gojo. The opening theme is Kaikai Kitan by Eve and the ending is Lost in Paradise by ALI feat. AKLO.
