Full Plot Summary

Megumi fights Toji but is overwhelmed. Upon stabbing Megumi, Toji suddenly recognizes his son and briefly regains his humanity. He recalls his past decision to sell Megumi to the Zen'in clan, having believed it would secure a better future for him. Proud that Megumi rejected the Zen'in name, Toji stabs his vessel in the head to end the possession. Before Megumi can recover, he is immediately attacked by Haruta. Meanwhile, Sukuna and Jogo engage in a destructive battle that ravages Shibuya. Sukuna toys with Jogo before unleashing his "Open" technique, revealing his ability to also wield fire, which incinerates Jogo almost instantly. In a liminal afterlife, Jogo reunites with Hanami and Dagon and states they were more human than they realized. Sukuna acknowledges Jogo's strength and conviction, causing Jogo to cry before fading. As Sukuna reunites with Uraume, a mysterious curse user from his past, a cursed spirit begins attacking Haruta, who pleads for the unconscious Megumi to awaken.
