Chapter 0-3

Branded the nation's deadliest curse user, Suguru Geto moves to topple Tokyo Jujutsu High and reshape society into one ruled only by sorcerers. He triggers the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, flooding both Kyoto and Shinjuku with countless cursed spirits. With the academy's fighters scattered to defend those cities, he slips into the campus by himself, hunting Yuta Okkotsu and the means to seize Rika Orimoto.

Disguised as a temple priest, Suguru drains a curse off a worried mother's daughter, then dismisses the grateful non-sorcerers as monkeys once they leave. When a follower fails to keep up his donations, Suguru lets the man's curse kill him without lifting a hand, drawing disgust from his aide Manami Suda. His commanders gather, and he announces the first target: the bedrock of the jujutsu order, Tokyo Jujutsu High. Far above the unsuspecting first-years, Masamichi Yaga and Satoru Gojo discuss whether Suguru is truly back, and moments later he rides a colossal bird-curse straight to the gate with Larue, Mimiko, and Nanako in tow.

Suguru blitzes past Maki, Toge, and Panda to greet Yuta directly, laying out his intent to wipe out everyone without cursed energy. He mocks Maki as the Zenin family's failure, which sours Yuta on him entirely. Gojo steps between them and demands answers, prompting Suguru to formally declare war and reveal the twin demon parades aimed at Kyoto and Shinjuku. He escapes on his curse after threatening the students' lives. Yaga's strategy session questions why Suguru would gamble against superior numbers, but the curse user privately admits his odds sit below twenty percent unless he kills Yuta and takes Rika, which would push his chances to ninety-nine percent.

A quiet classroom scene lets Maki explain that she carries the Zenin name yet cannot perceive curses, finally helping Yuta grasp her isolation. He tells her he admires her strength and wants to be like her, leaving Maki flustered at being accepted. A curtain then seals the school. In Shinjuku, Miguel Oduol stalls for time while marking Gojo. Kiyotaka Ijichi alerts Gojo, who teleports Toge and Panda back to campus. Panda smashes through walls to reach Suguru, and Toge's cursed speech caves the ground beneath the curse user, though the backlash makes Toge cough blood. Suguru resurrects through his own curse and gravely wounds all three. Finding his friends broken, an enraged Yuta fully manifests Rika a second time and vows to end Suguru.
