The 132nd chapter, the forty-ninth part of the Shibuya Incident, closes the long Yuji and Mahito rivalry with a fight-ending Black Flash. The triumph lasts only seconds, as a far graver threat steps onto the scene the instant the curse falls.
Summary
Black Flash answers to no sorcerer on command, yet Yuji fights so fiercely that any spectator would swear he could call it at will. Aware that one more such hit would finish him, Mahito refuses to barrel in. Convinced he has a counter, the curse purposely powers down his Instant Spirit Body, the Distorted Killing transfiguration, along his left flank, luring Yuji to aim at the weak point so he can retaliate and behead him. Yuji bites, striking the exposed side, but as Mahito drives for the kill, a second jolt throws his counterstrike off line.
That delayed second hit changes everything. Yuji had gained command over Divergent Fist back when he dueled Choso, and now he can fire it freely. He ducks under Mahito's failed swing and sets up the finisher. The curse reinforces his left side and tries to land the first blow, but then Todo's voice cuts across the battlefield from the rim of the crater, telling Mahito that an arm is mere ornament and that applause, at its heart, acclaims the soul itself.
Key Events
Todo fakes a clap with his amputated arm and the hand he has left. Mahito wheels to intercept the anticipated swap and meets empty air, learning Boogie Woogie was already dead and that he has been duped one last time. Yuji seizes the moment with a maximum cursed energy Black Flash that hurls Mahito clear of the crater, exhausting his transfiguration and his supply of altered humans. Looming over the desperate curse, Yuji concedes that he is Mahito, that exorcising curses no longer requires a reason, and embraces his place as a sorcerer in the wider conflict. As he runs the fleeing Mahito down like a wolf after a rabbit, Pseudo-Geto abruptly appears, towering over the curse and asking whether he ought to save him.
Notes
This chapter sits within the Shibuya Incident Arc and was collected in Volume 15, first serialized in 2021 and adapted in Episode 45. It closes out the Yuji and Todo versus Mahito battle. Both Nanami and Choso surface in flashbacks. Akutami's comment mentions tweaking a snowfield until the last moment and hoping for one more side story.
