Shibuya Incident Arc
Before the October 31, Hanami is playing with Mahito and a cursed spirit while Getou and Jogo talk about their plan to fight Gojo. Later Hanami is playing mahjong with Mahito, Jogo, and Geto, where Geto explains how the Prison Gate's Boundary works.

On October 31, Hanami is with Jogo and Choso in the curtain at Shibuya. When Gojo arrives at their location, Hanami prepares to fight him along with the others. Hanami then blocks Gojo's exit, which Gojo says that he is not planning to run away. They then surround Gojo with people. Choso distracts Gojo by attacking, allowing Hanami and Jogo to attack Gojo with Hanami's Domain Amplification technique but Gojo manages to escape. Gojo takes off his bandages around his eyes and says that he will take Hanami down first since he has not learned after facing him two times before.

As Gojo gets close to him and Jogo, Hanami and Jogo go to attack Gojo but Gojo easily dodges the attacks. As Jogo tries to get some distance but Gojo swiftly chances after him, Hanami thinks about what Gojo is planning but notices that Gojo has deactivated his cursed power. Hanami goes to use his cursed power, then Jogo tells Hanami to not deactivate his amplification. Suddenly, Gojo grabs a hold of the branches on Hanami's head and pulls them out. Choso manages to distract Gojo for a second, which lets Hanami and Jogo go to attack. Gojo uses this chance to activate his technique and crush a weakened Hanami against a wall.

Later when Jogo is killed by Sukuna, Hanami meets with Jogo along with Dagon. Hanami talks with Jogo about how they still have Mahito and that they will one day be reborn as different beings.

Jujutsu
