The Origin of Obedience, Part 8 (--) is the sixty-second chapter of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Summary
The battle with the Death Painting brothers rapidly spirals to its conclusion. However, even in victory there is a cost in killing someone the students had never considered before. Meanwhile, Choso, Mahito, and Suguru Geto gain wind of the incident.

Plot Details
Nobara has killed Kechizu and threatens to do the same to Eso. Yuji rushes to finish Eso off but the older brother sheads tears for his murdered kin, surprising Yuji enough to stop him. Nobara notices that Kechizu hasn't disappeared and they both stop fighting to realize that they're not just Cursed Spirits, they're flesh and blood.

A truck comes out of the tunnel the fight ended up on and Eso takes the passengers hostage, trying to ride it away his family. Yuji is unable to pursue so Eso believes he's going to get away and claim revenge later. However, Nobara uses Straw Doll Technique: Resonance on Eso's severed arm, piercing his chest with large black nails.

This Resonance attack was especially powerful since it activated following the use of Black Flash. Eso falls off the truck and Yuji prepares to finish him off. He apologizes just before dealing the killing blow, a Divergent Fist clean through Eso's chest. Yuji's hand is burned from Eso's blood, but he says it hurts for a deeper reason than that.

While Choso, Geto, and Mahito are playing a board game, the former realizes his younger brothers have been killed. He breaks the pieces, upsetting Mahito and Geto looks up what happened because he doesn't believe they'd lose to a Finger Bearer. After searching through his phone, Geto announces that Eso and Kechizu were killed by Jujutsu High first-years Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki, exciting Mahito.
