Summary
The escort mission takes a disastrous turn when Satoru and Riko have both been slain by the Sorcerer Killer. Suguru fights to avenge his friends but even that isn't enough. However, the tragedy doesn't end in total defeat as the Honored One suddenly reawakens.

Plot Details
Toji shoots Riko dead right in front of Suguru, shocking him. Toji tells him he can leave but Suguru asks why he's there. Toji reveals he killed Satoru and Suguru immediately attacks him with Rainbow Dragon. The cursed spirit attacks Toji and they crash through several buildings throughout the main hall. The Sorcerer Killer casually uses his handgun to shoot at Suuguru, forcing him to use a squid-like cursed spirit to defend himself. Suguru goes down to where Toji effortlessly gets away from the Rainbow Dragon. Toji tells Suguru not to be so impatient and they both walk around a partially destroyed building. He walks around a floor above Suguru and explains why the concealing barriers around Jujutsu High are ineffective against him.

Suguru uses sound to determine Toji's location above him and tries to attack. Toji is too fast and appears down a corridor nowhere near where he was a moment ago. He continues to explain how he uses his cursed spirit to conceal his cursed tools but Suguru interrupts him. Suguru asks how they were discovered without leaving any residuals and Toji reveals that he tracked them using more traditional means with his enhanced senses. Suguru also asks about Kuroi and Toji casually replies that she's probably dead.

Infuriated, Suguru sends Rainbow Dragon at his opponent again and takes the fight to the skies. Toji brushes off all of Suguru's cursed spirits one after another and even splits Rainbow Dragon with a single attack. Toji lands on the same platform as Suguru and isn't the slightest bit impressed with his cursed technique. The platform collapses and falls straight down until it's caught in Kugisake-Onna's barrier. Her Simple Domain enforces non-violence and she asks if he thinks she's pretty. Toji quickly analyzes the cursed spirit and tells her she's not his type. Dissatisfied with this response, several scissor blades suddenly appear, poised to snipe off several of Toji's limbs. However, Toji quickly gets the Inverted Spear of Heaven from his own cursed spirit and deflects all the blades with immense speed.

Suguru uses the distraction to get behind his opponent but Toji calls him a fool for getting in close. Suguru attempts to absorb the cursed spirit to nullify Toji's arsenal, but it rejects him. Suguru is surprised and Toji uses the opening to cut him down with a katana and finish the fight with a kick. This all takes place in the time it takes for the platform to finally crash to the ground. Toji spares Suguru because he doesn't know what will happen to the cursed spirits he absorbed if he dies. Before leaving, Toji taunts Suguru and says that will all their blessings, these sorcerers couldn't defeat a monkey who can't even use jujutsu. After saying blessings out loud, Toji is reminded of Megumi, who he finally remembers the name of.

Toji turns in Riko's body to the Time Vessel Association and their representative, Shigeru Sonoda. Shigeru is satisfied with the assassination and admits they never expected to actually prevent the merger. He also explains the origins of the Star Religious Group and claims they have no problem perishing with Tengen. Toji just finds him crazy and he leaves with Shiu Kong once the representative exits the room. While walking outside, Toji asks about some details of their mission, mostly regarding the situation in Okinawa. Toji asks to get food using their new money but Shiu says he would only associate with Toji in work or in hell.

Toji goes to leave when he's surprised when he's greeted by none other than Satoru Gojo, back from the dead. Satoru is delirious from his newfound awakening and claims Toji is going to lose because the Sorcerer Killer didn't chop his head off or used the Inverted Spear of Heaven for the final blow. Toji rejects this claim and states they're just getting started. Elated beyond measure, Satoru yells in agreeance before Toji charges at him at top speed. Satoru easily avoids Toji's blow and sends him back with his first-ever successful activation of Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!

Satoru sends Toji flying back into the city but he doesn't suffer any serious injuries. The awakened Limitless user is floating in the air, smiling with satisfaction while Toji calls him a monster. Toji gets up and gathers his thoughts, reviewing all he knows about the Limitless. He attaches the Chain of a Thousand Miles to the Inverted Spear of Heaven and swings it around, ready to take Satoru on. Toji looks up and meets Satoru's gaze, hesitating for a moment because he can feel something is off. However, Toji ignores this feeling and tells himself that this is fine. He sends the Inverted Spear of Heaven at Satoru several times but he's able to avoid it without much effort.

Satoru apologizes for not feeling bad about Riko's death because he feels so great at the moment. He poses, looking down at Toji and proclaiming that throughout heaven and earth, he alone is the honored one. Toji is from the Zenin clan, so he's aware of the Limitless's abilities. However, there is one technique that's known to few even within the Gojo clan. In a single shot, Satoru defeats Toji with the all-powerful Hollow Technique: Purple. Toji thinks back to telling himself that something is off. Normally he would've said I refuse to work for free and then ran away immediately. However, this time, Toji wanted to reject jujutsu world by killing the strongest sorcerer of the modern age but ended up twisting who he was to try reach for affirmation. With nearly half of his body annihilated by Purple, Toji admits that the moment he lost sight of who he was, he lost.

Satoru asks if Toji has any last words. At first, Toji says that he doesn't until he thinks of Megumi. He reveals that his child will be sold off into the Zenin clan in two or three years and tells Satoru to do whatever he wants with that information. Recovered, Suguru finds Toji's inventory cursed spirit and absorbs it before regrouping with Satoru. Suguru is surprised to find Satoru recovering Riko's body from the Time Vessel Association. He's even more surprised to see how Satoru has changed and asks what happened. Satoru takes responsibility for Riko's death and asks Suguru if they should kill all the non-sorcerers clapping around them, celebrating her demise. Suguru claims there's no point because the association will collapse before long and Satoru asks if there needs to be a point as he walks out. Surrounded by ignorant non-sorcerers, Suguru faintly says that it's very important for there always to be a point, especially for jujutsu sorcerers.
