Heads up, this is one of the most important chapters in the entire series, a lot of context isn't in the brief summaries and images, I HIGHLY recommend reading the full translation and chapter this week.
Chap begins with small flashback to Sukuna & Uraume talking about Yuji. Uraume asks Sukuna who even is Yuji cuz he has an unexplainable power just from the residual cursed energy that Sukuna left in him before separating
SUKUNA REVEALS THAT HE ATE HIS TWIN BROTHER WHEN HE WAS IN HIS MOTHER'S WOMB TO NOT STARVE TO DEATH. AND THAT DEAD TWIN'S SOUL SOMEHOW ENDED UP IN KENJAKU'S HAND, WHICH LED TO CREATION OF YUJI ITADORI!!
Uraume wonders if Yuji also has the same innate potential as Sukuna
Back to Sukuna & Yuji facing each other
YUJI HITS 2 BLACK FLASHES BACK TO BACK ON SUKUNA!!!
Yuji is pushed back as he lands on a pillar, which he slices & throws it towards Sukuna Narrator explains that Yuji currently has 2 Curses techniques in him. “Blood Manipulation” from death paintings and SUKUNA'S CT “MIZUSHI”(SHRINE)!!!!
YUJI CAN USE SUKUNA'S CURSED TECHNIQUE “MIZUSHI”(SHRINE)!!!
Yuji grabs hold of Sukuna's leg and tries to slice it off using Shrine CT but Sukuna quickly sends slashes towards him. Yuji rushes through the slashes, unfazed, and hits Sukuna with another Black Flash!!!
Sukuna realizes Yuji has the same cursed technique as his but there's some difference due to era & representation of user Sukuna thinks it's still ridiculous that Yuji is able to use it. Since he just learnt about it, the output of the slashes are low
Small flashback to Ino asking permission from Gojo, Shoko & Ijichi to use Nanami's cursed tool cuz they were Nanami's old friends & they knew him more. But Gojo reassures Ino that he can use Nanami's cursed tool cuz Nanami trusted Ino more out of anyone
Ino uses his cursed technique to summon Dragon & attacks. Sukuna easily slices off the dragon & grabs hold of Nanami's cursed tool with his feet but he senses Yuji behind him ready to attack
YUJI HITS SUKUNA WITH ANOTHER BLACK FLASH!!! Sukuna gets agitated as he thinks that Yuji has been landing Black Flashes as if it's nothing Sukuna is enraged as he wonders if Yuji is intending to stand on equal grounds with him!!
SUKUNA IS BAFFLED TO SEE YUJI NOT EVEN BUDGING TO HIS STRIKES & SLASHES!!!
Sukuna destroys the landing they were on & tries to punch Yuji as soon as he lands, but Yuji grabs hold of his arm & punches him back to the wall!!
YUJI LANDS ANOTHER BLACK FLASH BUT SUKUNA GRABS HIS FACE & SLASHES IT. BUT EVEN WITH HIS BLEEDING FACE, YUJI HITS ONE MORE BLACK FLASH ON SUKUNA!!
Sukuna is totally enraged at Yuji as he screams “YOU BRATT!!” but he gets hit with Nanami's blunt knife which Ino had threw as a last push. This gives Yuji time to prepare for another Black Flash as Ino says “I think I did alright for someone like me. Hit him hard, Yuji
ITADORI YUJI HITS HIS 8TH CONSECUTIVE BLACK FLASH ON RYOMEN SUKUNA!! (7 in this chap & 1 in last chap, so total 8 Black Flashes so far )
EDITOR'S NOTE: “YUJI BECAME EQUAL TO THE KING AND SURPASSED HIM”!!!
NO BREAK NEXT WEEK.
