Plot Details
Kokichi Muta accounted for own demise and left behind an insurance plan for the Shibuya Incident. A small, circular communication device modled after the face of Ultimate Mechamaru suddenly appears on Yuji's ear. Yuji takes it off of his ear and nearly breaks the device until Mechmaru tells him they're on the same side. Yuji stops trying to break it and agrees to listen, giving Mechamaru the chance to reveal that Satoru Gojo has been sealed.

Meanwhile, on the Fukutoshin Line Platform, Gojo is caught in Prison Realm's grasp. With his main obstacle rendered helpless, Pseudo-Geto says goodbye to Gojo, claiming he'll see him again in the new world. Gojo admits its over for him for now, but he says its time for Suguru to wake up and demands he stop letting someone control him. This statement inspires a phenomenon that causes Geto's hand to grasp as his own neck, rebelling against the imposter controlling him. Despite being violently choked, the imposter claims this has never happened before and is amused. Mahito awakens from his trance and Pseudo-Geto tells him his theory about the body and soul being separate is incorrect. He uses this phenomenon as evidence but Mahito argues that they live in different worlds due to their cursed techniques. Pseudo-Geto believes that line of thinking is poetic and agrees with Mahito. Annoyed, Gojo tells them to hurry up and finish the seal so he doesn't have to look at and listen to them anymore. Pseudo-Geto agrees he can't risk anything happening and completes the seal, closing Prison Realm.

Back in Harujuku, Mei Mei demands proof that Satoru Gojo has been sealed. Mechamaru explains his circumstances and how his insurance plan wasn't set to activate until after Gojo had been sealed. He further explains that he left only three devices and one of them was left to Mei Mei's team because their least likely to be moles. Mei Mei plays devil's advocate but Mechamaru reveals there are curse users headed over to attack her team. Mei Mei decides they should confirm the sealing for themselves but Mechamaru asks that they follow his directions instead. Yuji pleads with her and Mei Mei agrees. Mechamaru asks Mei Mei to clear a path for Yuji so that he can return to Shibuya and inform everyone of the sealing.

At the same time, Prison Realm gains a massive amount of weight and falls out of Pseudo-Geto's hands. It needs time to process Gojo and can't be moved until it's done. Inside the Prison Realm, Gojo is trapped in a dimension where time doesn't pass. He recognizes that he messed up but he's not worried. Gojo has faith in the others and believes they'll take care of things. The three teams of jujutsu sorcerers are standby are ordered into action now that transfigured humans are attacking civilians and more curtains have appeared in the area. Team Nanami, Kusakabe, and Zenin all head into battle at the same time. In Shibuya station, Ijichi tries to coordinate the assistant managers over the phone. He's suddenly attacked from behind by the curse user Haruta Shigemo, who has been ordered to take out the managers and cut off all communication by Uraume.

A second of Mechamaru's devices overhears Pseudo-Geto talking about how they can't move Prison Realm. Mahito notices the device and destroys it but his group is well aware the secret is out and sorcerers will be coming to stop them. Mechamaru relays this information to Yuji just before he enters the curtain trapping civilians in Shibuya. Upon entering, Yuji notices civilians under attack from transfigured humans and fights to protect them. After dispatching the monsters, Yuji climbs to the top of a small building and yells for Nanami. He calls for his mentor and also loudly reveals to everyone that Satoru Gojo has been sealed. Nanami immediately changes plans and tells Ino and Megumi to follow him and meet up with Yuji. He knows that if Satoru Gojo is gone, it's over for all humans in Japan.

Now that the sorcerers will respond in numbers, Geto asks what the cursed spirits want to do. Choso wants to get revenge for his brothers but Jogo refuses to let him kill Yuji. Mahito agrees that he wants to kill Yuji too and proposes a game. If he or Choso finds Yuji first, they'll kill him. If Jogo finds him first, he'll turn him into Sukuna. They all run off to find Yuji rather than staying to protect Prison Realm, amusing Pseudo-Geto. The curse user notices Mimiko and Nanako hiding in the crowd shortly after. They demand the imposter return Geto's body but he refuses. They leave and tell him that he'll regret this, but the curse user has long forgotten what regret feels like.

Team Nanami meets up with Yuji and they confirm the situation with Mechamaru. Nanami tells everyone that he's leaving to coordinate with Ijichi while the boys work to take down the curtain preventing sorcerers from entering Shibuya Station. Lastly, he tells Ino that he's leaving the two boys in his care. Moved that Nanami has put his faith in him, Ino emphatically explains what will happen if Gojo isn't freed. Jujutsu sorcerers will squabble over the fall of the Gojo clan and then the forces of evil will take advantage. If this happens, the age of humans will end in Japan. Confident that the boys understand the stakes, Ino tells them to move out. He swears that they'll take down the curtain before Nanami gets back and rescue Satoru Gojo!
