Chapter 133

The chapter doubles back to follow scattered sorcerers across the ruined city. Reaching the platform where Gojo was sealed, Todo and Arata Nitta find the Prison Realm already gone, so their goal pivots toward saving as many allies as possible. Tearing through the rubble in Gorilla Mode, Panda unearths Kusakabe, who, rattled by Sukuna's rampage, now demands Yuji's execution and refuses to back him should Gojo disappear. Off in Kuala Lumpur, Mei Mei warns a contact to offload Japanese stocks and real estate ahead of a collapse she means to exploit later. Choso, meanwhile, grieving his brothers, makes up his mind to learn what Yuji truly is.

In the present, Pseudo-Geto asks whether Mahito wants saving. Placing the figure as Satoru's captor, Yuji demands Gojo's return and charges. Geto muses on old folklore tying catfish to earthquakes, then conjures a small catfish curse that tears open a pit beneath Yuji before dumping him flat as though no hole had ever been there.

What makes Cursed Spirit Manipulation so formidable, Geto explains, is its sheer breadth, cycling through many semi-grade 1 and stronger curses faster than any rival can adjust. He shows it off by trapping Yuji in a swarm of centipedes, hoisting him with the catfish curse, then driving him into the ground. Mahito attempts to strike Pseudo-Geto from behind, only to confess he always understood Geto's real scheme and cannot stop it. Geto absorbs Mahito, compressing him into a black sphere as he speaks his final words, then faces Yuji again and invites him to keep talking over what lies ahead for the world of jujutsu.

The chapter belongs to the Shibuya Incident Arc and was collected in Volume 15, first published in 2021. Its pages are spread over Episodes 44 and 46. The clash against Pseudo-Geto and Uraume opens here. It marks the first chapter handled by the series' second English translator, John Werry. Akutami's note jokes that the Kuala Lumpur skyline resembles Penang Hill.
