Nobara and Megumi meet Kyoto Jujutsu High second-year students Mai Zen'in—Maki's twin sister—and third-year Aoi Todo. Todo challenges Megumi to a fight and quickly overpowers him, nearly pushing him to his breaking point before Panda and Toge intervene. Maki tells Nobara that she is unable to use cursed energy and instead relies on cursed tools in combat. At Jujutsu High, Gojo confronts Kyoto's principal, Yoshinobu Gakuganji, accusing him of deliberately endangering the Tokyo first-years during the cursed womb mission. He warns Gakuganji of the threat posed by powerful curses like Jogo and Sukuna and stresses the talent of students such as Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji, suggesting that the jujutsu world is on the brink of change. A month later, Mahito kills three high school students in a movie theater and is approached by a teenage boy who is able to see him.
