Chapter 110

Reduced to a vessel of pure carnage, the revived Toji locks onto Dagon. With nothing left to give, the surrounding sorcerers simply watch a man holding zero cursed energy rip apart attack after attack, the assault ending with a strike punched cleanly through Dagon's face.

Through the gap Megumi tore in the barrier, Toji enters the domain, leaving the boy baffled about the floating stranger's identity. Maki pegs him as a human sorcerer, and Dagon puzzles over why his foes admitted someone rather than fleeing. In a blink Toji reappears clutching Playful Cloud at impossible speed, tearing the cursed tool from Maki's grasp and flinging her aside. Floored that she lost a pure contest of strength, Maki realizes she felt no cursed energy whatsoever. Megumi reports the breach has sealed and reopening it will be hard. Only Naobito knows the man, and as he says the name he notices the whites of Toji's eyes have gone entirely black.

The reason follows: the Séance Technique of Granny Ogami was built to outlast death, though it ought to shut down the moment its host exhausts all cursed energy. Since the soul of Ogami's grandson carried none and the body of Toji that overwrote it burns none, no signal to stop ever arrives, so the rite has spun out of control, and Toji must battle on raw instinct right up until his borrowed body finally gives out. He cleaves single swings to dismantle Dagon's summoned shikigami, batters the curse's head with three-section-staff strikes, and tears across the water faster by the second. Dagon raises his sturdiest shikigami and a water shield, both broken just as readily. Among every special grade cursed tool, Playful Cloud alone houses no cursed technique inside it, so its might is nothing but solid force scaled to whoever swings it. Maki asks Naobito who the man is, and he replies that Toji is only a ghost. When Dagon rises into the air to buy time, Naobito drops onto his head to halt him, and Toji stacks the staff's segments to launch upward and drive Playful Cloud straight through the curse's face.

The chapter falls within the Shibuya Incident arc and opens the bout between Toji Fushiguro and Dagon, staged outside Shibuya Station. It puts the cursed tool Playful Cloud in the spotlight, revisits the limits of Ogami's Séance Technique, and references Dagon's Horizon of the Captivating Skandha. These events were adapted in Episode 39.
