Chapter 179

Sendai Colony, Part 6 (⑥) is the one hundred and seventy-ninth chapter of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Summary
The Sendai Colony's most elite players release three Domain Expansions all at once! As their three-way battle approaches its climax, Ryu and Uro try to get an advantage on Yuta. However, an unexpected intruder enters the barrier and throws the situation into even more chaos.

Plot Details
Overlapping domains cancel out each other's sure-hit function. Without that advantage, Ryu and Uro need to stop Yuta from taking the initiative by keeping Rika out of the barrier. Uro thinks about how Rika may intrude later while Ryu focuses on forming his domain quickly. Ryu had already knocked Rika over twenty meters away so it was unlikely she would reach the barrier in time. The last vestiges of Orimoto's will inside Rika couldn't accept being unable to protect Yuta and her strength ratchets up a notch.

Suddenly, Kurourushi reappears and infiltrates the barrier while its cockroaches occupy Rika. Before going dormant, Kurourushi reproduced via parthenogenesis. After Yuta exorcised the parent, the country's cursed energy of fear was transferred to the offspring. Kuorurushi the player indeed perished, but Kurourushi the cursed spirit is still completely active. Three overlapping domains are more complex than two and the conditions imbued within their barriers complicate things even further. With the addition of an unexpected intruder, the barriers are comprised and crumble apart.

Yuta notices that Uro is totally focused on Kurourushi, to who she is at a disadvantage against. Yuta takes the opportunity to kick Uro while she's distracted, knocking her toward Kurourushi. The cursed spirit rushes her with the Festering Life Sword and Uro tries to respond by activating her cursed technique. However, cursed techniques are difficult to use immediately after using domain expansion. Uro's ability to manipulate space burns away in her hand, leaving her open to Kurourushi's assault. The cockroach curse slashes Uro's left arm and insect-like curses spawn from the wound, severing her limb completely. Rika acts quickly by devouring Uro's arm, impressing Ryu. He notes that Yuta is thorough and that it's unlikely Uro can regenerate her entire arm even if she uses reverse cursed technique.

Irate over the loss of her arm, Uro angrily calls out to the Fujiwara descendant. Ryu tells her to stop because she and Kurourushi aren't invited to his table. Ryu's cursed technique is called Cursed Energy Discharge and he's the only sorcerer capable of outputting the same amount of power regardless if his technique is active or not. He blasts Uro and Kurourushi with Granite Blast, incapacitating Uro. Kurourushi's body is partially destroyed, making it simple for Yuta to exorcise it with reverse cursed energy.

Excited for his dessert, Ryu fixes his hair and welcomes Yuta to the table. He charges his cursed energy and takes aim while Yuta's cursed technique has yet to replenish. With Yuta and Rika working together to counter Ryu's next move, the table is set for their final battle.
