Key Events

Rattled by Gojo's challenge, Jogo and Hanami hesitate as he dares them to fight since they were the ones forbidding retreat. Gojo strides up to Jogo, ignores Hanami at his side, blocks Jogo's strike with his bare body, slips Hanami's blow, and snaps Jogo's arm clean off. Hanami realizes the taunt was only meant to disorient them, and that Gojo has shut off his Limitless entirely. Choosing to activate his innate technique proves a fatal error, because Jogo wheels around to warn him never to drop Domain Amplification. Gojo immediately seizes the branches sprouting from Hanami's eye sockets and rips them free, having known the curses could not run both barrier and innate techniques at once. Jogo flees, stunned that raw cursed energy and physical force alone make Gojo this dangerous.

Choso tries to land Blood Manipulation while killing civilians, but the Infinity stops it; recognizing Choso as a Death Painting, Gojo sets him aside to handle the more aggressive pair. When Jogo and Hanami attack again with Domain Amplification, the weakened Hanami lets Gojo overpower them by reinforcing the Infinity. He pins Hanami to the wall and, ignoring Jogo's threats against civilians, crushes the curse completely, annihilating it and leaving only a crater. He then turns to the despairing Jogo and tells him he is next. Above, near Meiji-Jingumae Station, an assistant manager briefs the Mei Mei Team on a fresh barrier sealing the platform and the transfigured humans between the curtains, prompting Yuji Itadori to recall Mahito's face and realize his enemy must be close.
