Chapter 191

Sakurajima Colony, Part 1 (①) is the one hundred and ninety-first chapter of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Summary
After the Shibuya Incident, Noritoshi Kamo realized that Kenjaku already had puppets within his clan. He attempted to get the higher-ups to repeal their post-incident rulings to flush the enemy out but Kenjaku was already several steps ahead of him. Without any options left, Noritoshi participates in the Culling Game alongside Maki and they encounter a mysterious cursed spirit with a familiar presence.

Plot Details
On November 3rd at 11:05 P.M. at the Kamo Main House in Kyoto, Noritoshi attempted to contact Yoshinobu Gakuganji as well as the other major clans. Upon returning to the house for the first time since the Shibuya Incident, Noritoshi found that no one was home and an elderly attendant named Shino no longer recognized him. Noritoshi started to argue with Shino until he had a realization. He went deeper into the house and found none other than Kenjaku casually relaxing in the master bedroom. Kenjaku explained that Shino was manipulated to believe he was living in the world of a hundred and fifty years ago and told Noritoshi simply not to mind him.

Kenjaku said Noritoshi is later than he expected he understood due to the Tokyo Metro being out of commission. Noritoshi believed the conservative faction was already compromised since Kenjaku, the original Noritoshi Kamo, has connections to the Kamo clan. However, there was an order out for Suguru Geto's execution, meaning there are conservatives who were uncorrupted. Noritoshi trusts Gakuganji and wanted to plead with him to work with the higher-ups to retract the notice for treating unsealing Gojo as a criminal act. Kenjaku predicted all of this and already removed the conservative parties that ordered Geto and Yuji's executions. He completely took over the conservative faction and also took it upon himself to become the 25th head of the Kamo clan instead of Noritoshi.

Kenjaku told Noritoshi that he had no place within the clan and that they'll never meet again. Noritoshi took this as a threat and activated Flowing Red Scale in response. However, Kenjaku didn't mean to provoke him and laughed him off. Kenjaku doesn't view Noritoshi as a threat and told him to leave.

Presently on November 12th, Noritoshi and Maki take notice of the large cursed spirit that's just entered the Sakurajima Colony. The curse has a strange presence, making Noritoshi and Maki uneasy about what's really going on. The curse spots Maki and flies down toward her at high speed. It moves so quickly that it breaks the sound barrier, shattering numerous windows while crashing through several buildings. It zooms right past Noritoshi before he can even react to what's happening. He turns around to see that Maki is missing along with the curse, forcing him to admit that it's way too fast.

The curse pins Maki against a cliffside and she tries to punch it off her when the large worm-like creature suddenly disappears. The curse reappears next to Maki and rams her back into the cliffside. Maki can tell there is something unnatural about the curse's speed as she avoids a follow-up punch from her adversary. The worm-like curse swings the back of its body around to pin Maki back against the wall and then reveals its true face. The face of Naoya Zenin emerges from one of the holes in the curse's face, revealing that he has been cursed after death and reincarnated as a vengeful spirit. Maki recognizes Naoya's face as he claims to have come "to this side too!".
