Chapter 118

The Shibuya Incident, Part 36 (㊱) is the one hundred and eighteenth chapter of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Summary
Mahoraga and Sukuna continue fighting. Although Sukuna injures Mahoraga, it heals and adapts after its wheel turns. Sukuna figures out that Mahoraga's adaptation ability is like a late throw in rock-paper-scissors. Sukuna decides to use his Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine.

Plot Details
Mahoraga attacks Sukuna with its blade, but Sukuna blocks it and punches back. He uses Dismantle on Mahoraga, slicing it deeply multiple times. Sukuna notes it has the Sword of Extermination enveloped in positive energy, which would have killed him if he was a cursed spirit.

The wheel above Mahoraga spins and its wounds heal. Sukuna tries to slice it with his cursed technique again but Mahoraga deflects it. Sukuna notes that Mahoraga can see his cursed technique. Mahoraga then knocks Sukuna through several buildings with one blow. Sukuna seems largely unfazed and counterattacks by putting a hand on Mahoraga's head, unleashing a slice so strong it also goes through the building. Mahoraga bleeds from a vertical wound on its head and body.

Sukuna then kicks Mahoraga down to the ground, thinking that if he understands right, it'll stand. Again, Mahoraga's wheel turns and it stands, healed. Sukuna confirms his thought that it's like Yamata no Orochi. He notes that after the wheel turned, Mahoraga's second attack had cursed energy instead of positive energy, and that it could recognize Dismantle. Furu's Incantation of the Ten Sacred Treasures along with the wheel represent a complete cycle and harmony. Sukuna concludes that Mahoraga's power is to adapt to anything, like a late throw in rock-paper-scissors.

Sukuna recalls when Megumi almost summoned Mahoraga to fight him before and thinks that it might have been able to beat him then. He seems pleased that Megumi showed him this. Sukuna uses Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine. Large horned skulls appear behind him along with what looks like a shrine gate further back.
