Chapter 93

Ignoring Jogo's careful strategy, Mahito suggests the curses compete to reach Yuji Itadori first, recasting their dispute as a contest. Up above, Team Nanami catches up with Yuji and begins shaping a plan to free Gojo.

Backing Choso, Mahito argues for killing Yuji, sure the cursed spirits can overrun humanity even without Sukuna fully revived. A vexed Jogo demands to know if he is serious, and Mahito says he means it for real. Jogo recalls Mahito's old claim that whoever is smiling once it is over hardly counts, provided curses take humanity's place as the genuine ones, and he frets that Sukuna is no ally and might ruin them all. Unwilling to clash over it, Mahito proposes a game instead: whoever reaches Yuji first chooses, either killing him outright or feeding the fingers to strengthen Sukuna. Choso joins, and soon Dagon and even Jogo are dragged into the chase, amusing Kenjaku, who stays back to watch the Prison Realm.

Kenjaku spots Mimiko and Nanako concealed among the crowd still frozen by Unlimited Void. Having helped kill the monkeys, the girls press him to hand over their master's body just as he pledged, but Kenjaku declines, lecturing them to always forge a Binding Vow when dealing with a sorcerer and warning them to leave before that very body kills them. They slip away vowing he will be sorry, and he answers that so much time has passed he no longer recalls what regret feels like.

Yuji is still shouting for Nanami atop a Shibuya building when the team finds him and Megumi cracks the back of his head to quiet him. He and Mechamaru bring everyone current on Gojo, the puppet noting the man in Geto's face is an impostor. Nanami agrees that attacking from neighboring stations works, but only once the curtain blocking sorcerers falls. He sends Ino to lead the first-years in dropping it while he links up with Ijichi. Ino drives home to Megumi and Yuji how ruinous failure would be: lose Gojo and the Gojo family loses power, protected people like Yuji become targets again, and the political squabbling that follows leaves sorcerers exposed to the curses and curse users Gojo had kept in check. The chapter ends atop Shibuya Tower, where curse users Jiro Awasaka and Ogami mind the commissioned curtains, Ogami flatly forecasting that nothing will change, for curse users curse and the cursed die. The chapter introduces Jiro Awasaka and Ogami.
