Summary
The cursed spirits put Geto's plan into action by trapping Satoru Gojo underground and surrounding him with civilians that only serve to get in his way. Even with the chaos stifling his ability to fight at full power, Gojo displays precisely why he's the strongest.

Plot Details
At some point in the past, Satoru Gojo's associates were asked what they know about him. They give widely different answers including that he's a benefactor and an idiot, but everyone agrees he's undoubtedly the strongest.

Currently, Satoru is faccing off against Jogo and Hanami on the Fukutoshin Line Platform in Shibuya. After removing his blindfold, he openly challenges Jogo and Hanami to make a move, stating their the ones who told him not to run. He steps up directly between the two curses and provokes them into attacking him. Jogo and Hanami both throw a punch but Satoru grabs the former's arm and moves them both out of the way of the latter's attack. Satoru then rips Jogo's arm off and uses it to block Hanami's follow up before kicking him across the station. He throws Jogo over to Hanami as well. Hanami realizes that Satoru has deactivated his Limitless and plans to counter with his cursed technique.

Jogo realizes the mistake Hanami has made and yells at them not to deactivate domain amplification because it cannot be active at the same time as an innate cursed technique. Gojo seizes his opportunity and targets Hanami's weak spot, ripping the roots right out of his face. Jogo commends Satoru for being extremely strong even without the Limitless. Choso tries to hit him with Piercing Blood only for the Infinity to deflect it. Gojo quickly realizes that Choso is probably a Death Painting Womb and the two cursed spirits attack again with domain amplification. Gojo warns them its a poor idea because he can counter by strengthening his cursed technique and Hanami may not be up to the task in his weakened state. He targets Hanami and pins them against the wall by increasing the potency of the Infinity. Before long, Satoru completely crushes Hanami against the wall, exorcising him right before Jogo's eyes. Without a moment's hesitation, Satoru turns around and says "next".

Geto's plan requires Gojo to stay in range of Prison Realm for a minute. Jogo originally protested because it was an impossible task but Geto assured him things would be fine. Refusing to let Hanami's death be in vein, Jogo switches to hit and run tactics to deal with Gojo, running away and throwing humans at him as a distraction. He demands Choso help out but his blood is unable to reach Gojo. Having already played his ebst hand to lure the cursed spirits in, Gojo recognizes he won't be able to save everyone. Instead, he promises to avenge them by exorcising the curses without fail.

At Meiji-Jingumae station, Yuji finds a lone civilians claiming that everyone turned into monsters and boarded the train. Before long, the non-sorcerer is transfigured and Yuji realizes that Mahito is heading for Gojo with a train fuull of transfigured humans. The train arrives on the Fukutoshin Line and transfigured humans attack the crowd. Mahito joins the fight and quickly learns that Hanami was dispatched. He attacks Gojo only to experience the Infinity first hand. He avoids Gojo's counter attack and reveals something he finds disgusting about humans: there are so many of them. Directly on que humans fall through the atrium onto the platform, creating even more panic.

Mahito and his group are aware Gojo is capable of being cold unlike Yuji. However, Gojo's willingness to make sacrifices only extends to humans the cursed spirits kill. They don't believe he'll expand his domain in order to save the remaining humans by killing everyone else. They're taken completely by surprise when Gojo does just that and opens his domain: Unlimited Void. He only opens it for 0.2 seconds, the amount of time he estimates a non-sorcerer could withstand his domain without suffering permanent damage. This only serves to paralyze everyone on the platform and the special grade curses could awake at any moment. Gojo prioritizes the transfigured humans and destroys all one thousand of them in just 299 seconds.

Gojo is exhausted from this effort and Geto decides now is the time to make his move. Prison Realm opens and meets Satoru's gaze. Before he's able to retreat, Geto reveals himself and deeply confuses Gojo. He killed his best friend with his very own hands almost a year ago, yet his Six Eyes confirm he's standing before him. The minute required for the seal to activate is simply a minute's worth of time in Gojo's hyperaccelerated brain. Prison Realm takes hold and ensnares Gojo before he can properly react. He knows this is checkmate but still demands to know who's inhabiting Geto's body. The Six Eyes tell him it is Geto but he knows in his heart that his best friend is gone. Geto reveals himself to be an imposter who switched out Geto's brain with his own using a cursed technique. Gojo warns him that Yuta Okkotsu will be enough but Pseudo-Geto claims he doesn't see whats so special about the young man and refuses to acknowledge him as the next "strongest"

Meanwhile, down the Fukutoshin Line all the way back to Harujaku, Yuji realizes that a communication created by Mechamaru has been attatched to his ear. He tells Yuji to listen closely and reveals that Satoru Gojo has been sealed.
