Introduction Arc
Yuji is in the Occult Club room, with Sasaki and Iguchi when the student council president comes in to complain about the club. The president says that the club room is going to a different club, since the Occult Club doesn't have three members. As the Occult Club is confused by this, Mr. Takagi shows up and reveals that he rewrote Yuji application, so that he would join the Track-and-Field team instead of the Occult Club. As Yuji complains, Mr. Takagi makes a deal that if Yuji can beat him then Yuji can join the Occult Club. Yuji agrees to the deal since it will be easy for him.

Yuji takes on Mr. Takagi in Shot Put, and easily manages to defeat him. Sasaki tells Yuji that he doesn't need to continue being in the club, which Yuji tells her that the club has grown on him and wishes to stay. Yuji notices what time it is and head out. As Yuji passes Megumi, Megumi senses the presence of a cursed object on him and decides to follows him.

Yuji tries to reply to his grandfather but notices that he has died, which he reports to the staff. After Yuji finishes the necessary paperwork, Megumi shows up and demands for the cursed object. Yuji says that he will give it to him but wants an explanation, which Megumi explains what curses are. After finishing the explanation, Yuji hands the box over but Megumi finds out that the box is empty.

Yuji manages to rescue his friends from a spirit, which Megumi uses this chance to exorcise the spirit. Megumi then asks why Yuji is here, which Yuji explains his reason.

Suddenly Yuji finds the cursed object, which Megumi explains that it's one of Sukuna's fingers. Another spirit appears, which Megumi pushes Yuji out of the way. As Megumi gets tossed around by the spirit, Yuji jumps in and rescues him. Yuji takes on the spirit, but the spirit easily overpowers Yuji easily. Megumi explains to Yuji how it takes cursed energy to exorcise a spirit. Yuji wonders why the spirit is after the finger, to which Megumi says that the spirit wants to eat it in order to get stronger.

Yuji eats the finger, which incarnates Sukuna, who easily exorcises the spirit. When Sukuna plans to start a massacre, Yuji takes back his body. Megumi tells Yuji that he will have to exorcise him since he has become a cursed spirit. Suddenly, Satoru Gojo arrives and wonders where the cursed object is at, which Yuji tells him that he ate it. Gojo tells Yuji to switch with Sukuna but switch back after ten seconds, which Yuji agrees to after some convincing. Yuji switches with Sukuna, which after ten seconds he switches back. After Yuji switches back, Gojo simply knocks Yuji out.

Later, Yuji wakes up and notices that he is tied up in a room. Gojo tells Yuji that he is going to be executed, but they are going to suspend it for a period of time. As Yuji is confused by this, Gojo explains who Sukuna is and how there are 20 of Sukuna's fingers that they can't destroy. Gojo also explains how they plan to have Yuji eat the other fingers and then execute him, which he then tells Yuji to choose his death. Afterwards, Yuji is allows to check up on his friends and see how they are doing. After meeting with his friends, Yuji meets up with Gojo, who askes about his decision. After talking about how this might help people out, Yuji agrees to it and eats another finger. Yuji manages to hold Sukuna, which Gojo figures that Yuji is able to resist Sukuna.

After they arrive at the college, Gojo escorts Yuji through the college to his interview with the principal. Before they get to the meeting, Gojo tells Yuji that its possible the Yuji can fail his interview. As they arrive at the place for the interview, Yuji greets the principal of the college, Masamichi. Masamichi asks Yuji why he wants to attend the school, which Yuji gives an answer that Masamichi doesn't like.

After Yuji manages to restrain the cursed corpse and explains how he won't regret the way he lives in the end, Masamichi accepts his answer and allows him to attend the college. Afterwards, Gojo brings Yuji to his the dorm that he will be stalling at. While Yuji is decorating his room, Gojo explains to him that Yuji is now able to locate Sukuna's finger like a radar. When Megumi comes out of his room, Gojo tells the two that tomorrow they will going to be pick up the last of the first year students, Nobara Kugisaki.

The next day, Yuji talks with Megumi about how their are so few shamans before they head out to go get Nobara. When Gojo shows up, all three of them head to Harajuku to go pick up Nobara.

Later, Yuji breaks through a wall in order to rescue a child that a spirit has been taken hostage. As the spirit escapes, Yuji gives Nobara the spirit's arm, that he had previously cut off, which she uses to exorcise the spirit. After a brief chat with Nobara, Yuji brings the child out to be taken home. After the mission is complete, Gojo decides to take them out to eat which Yuji suggests beef steak.

The two follow the remnants, which leads them to the rooftops and encounter two spirits. Nanami has Yuji deal with one, while he deals with the other one. As Nanami deals with his spirit, he explains to Yuji how his technique works and why he is revealing it to him.

Yuji then contacts Kiyotaka and informs him about how he will be at Junpei's house.

Later Yuji head over to stop Junpei, much to Nanami's disagreement. Once Yuji reaches Junpei's school, the two get into a fight. Yuji manages to easily overpower Junpei, because Junpei's shikigami's poison has no effect on Yuji. Yuji wonders why Junpei is doing this and takes a hit from Junpei's shikigami, which the two then start to talk. After listening to Junpei, Yuji tells Junpei to come to the magic college since they will find the guy who did that to Junpei's mom. When Mahito shows up, Yuji is restrained and forced to watch as Mahito mutates Junpei. As Junpei attacks Yuji, the latter tries to get Sukuna to help Junpei but Sukuna refuses to help just for his own sadism. As Junpei decays both Mahito and Sukuna ridicule Yuji for thinking he can rely on the help of curses like them to help Junpei, loudly laughing at his naivete and making Yuji realize, firsthand the extent of malice that curses are capable of.

As Junpei dies, Yuji feels so profoundly disgusted at Mahito that he feels a genuine urge to kill him as he suddenly punches Mahito, surprising the curse as Yuji is able to injure his soul, deducing that Yuji is naturally aware of the "contours of the soul" due to being the vessel of another soul. As they trade blows, Mahito manages to corner and tries to forces Sukuna to switch with Yuji but Sukuna warns him to not do that again. Yuji manages to overwhelm Mahito delivering a brutal onslaught on Mahito's face, but Mahito manages to get behind Yuji. As Mahito goes to strike Yuji, Nanami shows up and counters the attack.

Yuji sees that Mahito is wounded and goes to finish him off, but Mahito escapes by using a decoy. After Mahito escapes, Yuji falls unconscious while still thinking that they have to get Mahito. Later Yuji is with the deceased when Nanami meets with him. The two talk about what had happened today and what is a proper death.

Once they meet up with Utahime, Utahime tells them that they are going to inspect one of the people that they think is a mole. Utahime informs them that they suspect Kokichi Muta, who's the real identity of Mechamaru, is the mole and explains what his ability is. Once they reach the place that Kokichi is suppose to be, they find out that Kokichi is not there when they break in.

On October 31, Yuji is with Mei Mei and Ui Ui at Aoyama Cemetery while Gojo handles the situation in Shibuya. When Mei Mei receives a call about a curtain appearing at Meiji-Jingumae Station, the three head out to check on the situation. Once they arrive at Meiji-Jingumae Station, they are informed that there is a second curtain with the curtain at the station. When they are informed that there are transfigured humans between the two curtains, Yuji thinks about how that it is Mahito's doing. After being informed about the station, Yuji waits with Ui Ui while Mei Mei checks up on the situation on the station. Yuji starts to get impatient but Ui Ui calms him down. Once Mei Mei is finished investigating, she informs them about the situation that is happening in the station. Yuji asks if Mahito is in the station, Mei Mei tells him that she didn't see him but he might be in the station since there are mutated humans in the station. Mei Mei then tells Yuji that they will split up.

Yuji then heads into the station through a different entrance. Once he gets inside, Yuji comes across a cursed spirit. Yuji asks the spirit if he had seen Mahito, which the spirit tells Yuji that Mahito is further in the station. After hearing the spirits words, Yuji remembers what Gojo had told him about curtains and notices a cursed object behind the spirit. Yuji figures that the object is connected to the curtains and decides to break it. When the spirit starts to talk about how the humans taste after Mahito mutates them, Yuji starts to attack the spirit. Yuji tells the spirit to not underestimate humans, which the spirit says that Yuji isn't smart since he can't even guess what kind of curse he is. Yuji says that the spirit is a grasshopper curse, which the spirit thinks about how Yuji is smart. As the curse attack Yuji, Yuji easily manages to dodge the curse's attack. As the curse continues its attacks, Yuji analyzes the curse's capabilities and figures what the curse is capable of. Yuji figures that this is a fight of two arms vs. four arms and starts his counter attack on the curse. Yuji starts to pummel the curse which the curse decides to counter with his hidden trick. As the curse uses his abdomen to attack, Yuji grabs it and breaks it off. Yuji then kills the curse and breaks the object that it was protecting.

Yuji then meets up with Mei Mei and Ui Ui, and the three heads to where the trapped people are at. While on their way there, Mei Mei compliments Yuji on his growth without using any techniques. Yuji comments about how his fight with the cursed spirit would have been harder if it was with Mahito, but quickly accepts Mei Mei's compliment when Ui Ui get angry at him. As they arrive at the station, they notice that all the people but one have left. Yuji asks the guy what had happened, which the guy says that everyone else was taken on a train and the person dies when his body deforms. Yuji gets angry that Mahito was here, but suddenly starts to worry about Gojo.

Yuji, along with Mei Mei and Ui Ui, then head towards Gojo's location, but stop when Yuji is suddenly contacted by Kokichi. As Yuji goes to try and destroy the device on his ear, Kokichi says that he is their ally and that Gojo has been sealed. Yuji listens along with Mei Mei and Ui Ui, as Kokichi explains how he had already been killed days before and he has set up a back up plan just incase something had happened to him. Kokichi also says that he was able to rule out both Mei Mei and Yuji as spies. As Mei Mei says that Kokichi could just be wrong, which Kokichi says that they are currently being followed by cursed users. Mei Mei notices that they are two of them and asks Yuji if the users are then the curse he had faced, which Yuji replies that the two are stronger. As Mei Mei says that they should continue on, which Kokichi tells them that there is a screen that won't let them through. Kokichi then tells them that Mei Mei should open a path, so that Yuji can head back and head to where Gojo is above ground. When the cursed users show up, Yuji prepares to fight along with Mei Mei and Ui Ui.

Yuji manages to get past the two curse users and makes it to the surface. Yuji starts to head towards Shibuya, but on the way he is told by Kokichi that the enemy can move Gojo while the Prison Gate's Boundary is processing him. Kokichi then proposes a plan to Yuji about how they will have the groups of shamans surround the Shibuya station and attack all at once when the screen is brought down. Unfortunately, Kokichi tells Yuji that he can't get in contact with Kiyotaka.

Once Yuji gets inside of the screen surrounding Shibuya, he notices that the people are being attacked by mutated humans. Yuji easily takes care of them and climbs a building. Once at the top, Yuji shouts for Nanami and announces that Gojo has been sealed. When Nanami and the others get to his location, Yuji listens as Kokichi explains everything to everyone and what they should do next. After Nanami agrees to Kokichi's plan, Nanami assigns Yuji, Megumi, and Takuma to dealing with the screens while he heads out to meet with Kiyotaka. After Nanami leaves, Takuma informs the two that there are two problems with Gojo being sealed. Yuji listens as Takuma explains how all the shamans that were saved by Gojo are going to be a nuisance with the authorities of the college, and that they would lost a war with all those that have hidden themselves in the shadow because of Gojo. After explaining how Gojo's sealing is dangerous for humanity, the three head out to deal with the screens.

As Yuji tries to break through the second screen, they realize that the screen is too strong for them to force their way through. They discuss how they can slip through the screen and that the caster of the screen is most likely within the screen itself. Suddenly, Takuma figures that the caster might be outside of the second screen, and explains how the screen becomes stronger with the caster being outside of the screen. The three then discuss were the caster might be and figure that they maybe at the Shibuya Tower.

As the three reach the Shibuya Tower, they use Megumi's Nue shikigami to reach the top of the tower. As Yuji and Megumi distract the enemies, Takuma manages break one of the cursed object that has put up a screen. Takuma notices that one of the enemies has the other two cursed objects that are putting up the screens, which Yuji and Megumi wrap Awasaka with wire and cause him to fall to the ground floor. As Yuji and Megumi find where Awaska is at, Megumi notices that the enemy is still alive. As Awasaka gets up, Yuji and Megumi prepare to fight him. As Yuji and Megumi fight Awasaka, they notice that their attacks are not having any effect on him. Yuji and Megumi continue to fight Awasaka but notice that the enemy is just too tough. As Megumi tells Awasaka that Gojo is in Shibuya but Awasaka reveals that he already knows that Gojo has been sealed, which Yuji tells Megumi to not to worry since his plan did not work. As Awasaka says that its about time that he kill them, which Yuji prepares to fight but escapes when Megumi causes a distraction. As they are escaping, Megumi tells Yuji that he has figures out Awasaka's technique.

After Megumi reveals what Awasaka's technique might be and how they can combat him, Yuji attack Awasaka by throwing a car at him. Yuji and Megumi then fight Awasaka in close combat, which they manages to distract him using Megumi's toad and harm the enemy. Yuji and Megumi manages to then continue to harm Awasaka. When Awasaka tells them to not get cocky, which Yuji responds by preparing a powerful attack. Yuji delivers the punch put stops just short and adjusts the power of his punch. Yuji then punches Awasaka and manages to defeat him. After tying up Awasaka, the two break the cursed tools but notice that only one of the curtains has come down. As the two discuss what to do, Megumi notices that Takuma has been thrown off of the tower which Megumi and Yuji quickly rescue him. After rescuing Takuma, the two talk about what to do next which Yuji plans to head to the station that Gojo has been sealed at while Megumi takes Takuma to get medical treatment.

As Yuji arrives to the entrance to the station, he notice that humans are being attacked by mutated humans. Yuji thinks about how there is no time to save them all, but Toge suddenly shows up. As Toge deals with the mutated humans, Yuji enters the station. Yuji comes across Choso, which Choso starts to attack Yuji. Yuji manages to defend himself and even gets close enough to attack Choso. Suddenly Yuji notices that he can't move his right arm anymore, since he used it to defend against Choso, and thinks about how he will just attack with his left arm. Choso then asks if his brothers had left any last word him with, which Yuji remembers them and says that they just simply cried. As Choso becomes angry, Yuji prepares to fight.

Yuji notices the distance between the two and decides to bait Choso by jumping in the air. As Choso attacks, Yuji manages to dodge and close the distance between them. Suddenly Yuji is wounded by Choso's Supernova attack and stabbed in the foot. Yuji ignores the pain and continues to attack. Yuji stops his attack when he thinks that Choso is going to use Piercing Blood, but Choso starts to attack with his Flowing Red Scale attack. Choso then attacks with Piercing Blood, but Yuji manages to withstand the attack because Choso messed up the attack. Afterwards Yuji is suddenly contacted by Kokichi again.

While dodging Choso's attacks, Yuji listens as Kokichi informs him about what blood manipulation is capable of. When Kokichi advises Yuji to head into the bathroom, Yuji heads into the bathroom and hides after flooding the bathroom. When Choso enters the bathroom, Yuji attacks from behind and manages to send Choso into the water. Once Choso finds out that he can't manipulate his blood with all the water around them, Yuji and Choso fight in hand to hand combat. As Yuji manages to get the edge, Choso manages to land a blow with some blood that he keep out of the water. Yuji manages to stand his ground, even through he was wounded, and thinks about how he knows that his duty is to take out Choso so that the others can go save Gojo. Yuji continues his fight with Choso, Yuji manages to land a few good hits but Choso manages to knock Yuji into a wall. Just as Choso is about to finish Yuji off, he stops as a memory that didn't happen passed his mind.

After Choso leaves, Yuji is found by Mimiko and Nanako. The two start to feed Yuji Sukuna's fingers but are forced to retreat when Jogo arrives. Jogo then feeds Yuji ten of Sukuna's fingers which Sukuna manages to take control. Later, Yuji manages to get back control and sees what Sukuna has done while he was in control. Yuji breaks down while commenting how he should just die. Suddenly remembering how he is to be executed, along with how he should die with people around him. Yuji stops crying and thinks about how he has to keep fight since if he is executed now, then he would just be a murder. Yuji then heads back to the station and encounters Nanami and Mahito. Yuji watches as Nanami is killed Mahito, and then gets angry and prepares to fight Mahito. Yuji charges but Mahito diverts his attention and gets behind Yuji. Mahito attack with an attack which Yuji manages to stop the attack. Suddenly Mahito appear from the attack and lands a blow on Yuji. Yuji asks why Mahito can kill so easily, which Mahito gives him an answer along with saying that Yuji won't be able to win until he accepts it. The two then take a stance, which Mahito slowly closes the distance. Mahito tries to pierce Yuji's heart, but Yuji dodges it and land a blow on Mahito. Mahito recollects himself and compliments Yuji while saying that it now time for round 2.

As the two continue to fight, Yuji chases after Mahito while Mahito attacks from a distance. While fighting, Yuji thinks about how Mahito has more move compared to the last time they fought. As Mahito escapes behind a corner, Yuji follows but finds two individuals. As Yuji tells them to get to safety, Mahito suddenly attack from one of them and uses the other one to create a sword. Mahito tells Yuji that he needs to work on the imagination of his as he asks for Mahito to stop. Yuji continues facing off against Mahito as he sends three transfigured humans over at Yuji who's blinded after one of them spits blood on him. As Mahito is about to attack Yuji, he suddenly stops as Yuji turns around and notices this. Yuji comes to the conclusion that the reason behind it is because of Nobara's Resonance technique. Yuji uses this chance to plummet Mahito with punches, Yuji thinks to himself and thanks Nobara for showing him that he's not alone. Upon having Mahito split himself, Yuji wonders which part of him contains his soul to finish him off. Noticing a part of Mahito who's surging with cursed energy, Yuji destroys it but it ends up being a decoy. Yuji chases after Mahito as he encounters two Mahito's, wondering if they were to fuse to heal. Instead, the two passes each other and Yuji notices Nobara, who yells at her to run but it's too late. Yuji smashes the second Mahito into the wall and states that he's in the way before running over to check on Nobara. Nobara tells Yuji's it's not that bad as she falls, leaving Yuji in complete shock. While Yuji is left frozen in shock, Mahito uses this chance to close in onto Yuji and attack him with Black Flash! Yuji doesn't do anything while Mahito continues to punch him, before Mahito can kill Yuji, Aoi Todo shows up and uses Boogie Woogie to save Yuji as Arata Nitta follows closely behind.

Yuji tells Todo that he can't fight anymore as Sukuna has killed many people and he tried helping more people but failed. Claiming that he's a murder, Yuji says he can't forgive himself as Mahito takes this chance to taunt and try to attack the group. However, they are able to evade the attack as Todo uses his technique and kicks Mahito away. Empowered by Todo's wise words, Yuji manages to get back up and is healed by Arata Nitta using his cursed technique. When Aoi uses his cursed technique: Boogie Woogie to teleport Yuji behind Mahito, Yuji is able to land a Black Flash on Mahito. Yuji thinks to himself about how he'll take Namami's share of of suffering as Todo says welcomes back to Yuji. The two continues to assault Mahito with punches and kicks. When Mahito uses Soul Multiplicity: Body Repel, Yuji and Todo are forced out of the building and they continue to face off outside.

When Aoi goes to deal with the transfigured humans Mahito sent at him, Yuji continues to face off against Mahito until Todo shows up after finishing dealing with the transfigured humans. Before Mahito activates Domain Expansion: Self-Embodiment of Perfection for 0.2 seconds, Yuji runs towards Mahito but isn't quick enough as Mahito deactivate his domain expansion and runs past Yuji towards Todo. Before Mahito can use Idle Transfiguration on Aoi, Aoi uses Mahito's hand to use Boogie Woogie and teleport Yuji in his place who's able to land a Black Flash on Mahito. Mahito uses Polymorphic Soul Isomer and sends a transfigured human at Yuji to take care of. After taking care of the transfigured human, Yuji faces the newly transformed Mahito. Yuji comments on how it's a surprise that Mahito was the type for a journey of self discovery. Mahito attacks but Yuji is able to dodge the attack and fails to land a kick on him. While facing off, Yuji notices how tough Mahito's body has become and notes on how it's more tougher than before. Yuji is suddenly grabbed by Mahito who slams him onto the ground, forcing the ground to cave in. Yuji thinks to himself about how he needs to imbue Black Flash with his maximum cursed energy to defeat Mahito. Mahito comments on how they both still have a lot in the tank and the two continue to face off. Yuji manages to land a Divergent Fist which leaves Mahito surprised by the second impact of the punch. When Aoi suddenly appears, Mahito is left shocked at his appearance which leaves him unable to defend from Yuji's Black Flash attack. Yuji confronts Mahito and says he's Mahito and he will kill him. When Mahito runs away, Yuji follows when Geto suddenly appears. Upon noticing Geto's arrival, Yuji immediately yells at him to give Gojo back while charging at him, however, a pit suddenly appears on where Yuji is on. Instead of falling into the pit, Yuji instead falls back onto the ground as Geto summons cursed spirits to attack Yuji. When Mahito fails to attack Geto, Yuji is left to watch in shock as Mahito is absorbed. Yuji watches as as the Kyoto students try to attack Geto who tries to unleash Maximum Uzumaki on Miwa but is saved by Atsuya Kusakabe. Panda and Noritoshi Kamo suddenly appear besides Yuji who happy to see Panda.

With the sudden appearance of Choso, everyone, including Yuji is left in shock as Choso angrily yells at Geto who's his notorious father, Noritoshi Kamo (Ancestor). Asking why he forced him to try and kill his younger brother, Yuji. Yuji watches as Geto and Uraume faces off against Choso as Panda asks him if they're actually related with Yuji denying that they're related. Yuji agrees with Noritoshi and Panda that they must retrieve the Prison Realm. When Uraume suddenly uses Frost Calm to freeze the enemy, Yuji is the only one who isn't frozen and manages to save Choso. Uraume uses Ice Fall to freeze everyone as Yuji thinks to himself about how they're going to die, however, the timely arrival of Yuki Tsukumo saves them all from death. When Yuki asks for Yuji to help her beat Geto up, Yuji apologizes for not being able to stand. Geto suddenly summons a large amount of curses, saying goodbye to Yuji while holding onto the Prison Realm, wherein Yuji yells "Gojo sensei".

A despondent Yuji sits alone on a large staircase, as Choso approaches him, asking about his injuries. Yuji says that he is fine because of Sukuna, who he can tell is growing stronger. Choso says that he will be fine by himself while he collects the remains of Shoso and the others, telling Yuji that he can return to Jujutsu High. Yuji, however, replies that Sukuna has something planned for Megumi and that he himself has killed too many people, reminding Choso that he killed both Eso and Kechizu, his younger brothers. Choso calmly says that it was a misunderstanding and that forgiveness isn't involved when it comes to brothers. The two then head out to deal with the rest of the cursed spirits.

Yuji lets out a clap as two large curses appear behind him, the cursed spirits follow Yuji who's leading them to Choso's location. While Choso uses Piercing Blood to kill one of the spirits, Yuji punches the other remaining cursed spirit. Choso compliments on Yuji's improvement just as Naoya Zenin suddenly appears and comments on how Megumi isn't around. Yuji asks what business Naoya has with Megumi who says he'll let him die. He suddenly appears in between Yuji and Choso and trades blows with the two, before they can engage each other, a heavy presence suddenly fills the air as Yuta Okkotsu appears and comments on how Yuji isn't alone. Choso tells Yuji that the two are after him and that it's best for him to run. Yuji manages to get ahead but Yuta surprises him by managing to catch up to him, surprising Yuji with his speed. Yuji grabs a car and throws it at Yuta who throws it at Yuji. Yuji notices on how much cursed energy is surging from Yuta. The two continues to face off as Yuji thinks about how he needs to get rid of the katana Yuta is wielding. Yuji runs away from Yuta and enters a car, taking a knife with him to defend against Yuta's sword strike. Yuji imbues the knife with his cursed energy and blocks Yuta's katana, however, he ends up being kicked by Yuta who states Yuji is too focus on his katana. Yuji tries to defend himself with the knife but it's slashed apart and Yuji is injured, he is able to kick Yuta away and also breaks the katana he's wielding as well. Yuji tries to close the distance between him and Yuta until the cursed spirit Rika shows up and restrains Yuji from moving. Yuji is confused by Rika's appearance, wondering if it's a shikigami. He is then stabbed by Yuta who apologizies.
