Full Plot Summary

spoilers

Yuji and Todo continue to battle Mahito, who attempts to separate the pair but is unsuccessful. To counter the risk of Sukuna retaliating for touching Yuji's soul, Mahito emulates Gojo and briefly activates a 0.2-second Domain Expansion, allowing him to land a hit on Todo. However, Todo amputates his hand before the effects of Idle Transfiguration can take hold. He activates his cursed technique by clapping Mahito's hand, confusing the curse and enabling Yuji to land a Black Flash that directly strikes Mahito's soul. Mahito fully grasps the true shape of his soul and uses Idle Transfiguration on himself to transform into his ultimate form: the "Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing". Todo tricks Mahito into believing he can still use his Cursed Technique, allowing Yuji to land another Black Flash, which destroys Mahito’s enhanced form. Yuji coldly declares he will kill Mahito as many times as necessary. As Mahito, now panicked and desperate, tries to escape, he is stopped by Pseudo-Geto, who offers to save him.
