Plot Details
Suguru casually makes himself some tea while one of his cursed spirits has Kokun restrained with only one arm free to resist the curse trying to lick and kiss him constantly. While Riko and Misato are both unconscious and safely positioned on a couch, Suguru sits down opposite them and pretends he can't hear Kokun. Irritated, Kokun boasts that Bayer, Q's strongest soldier, will make him regret this. Suguru gets a picture message from Satoru that Bayer was easily defeated and shows Kokun. With's Bayer's defeat, Q collapses as an organization.

Shiu Kong finds Toji betting on races where he apparently never wins. He asks why he hasn't been pursuing the Star Plasma Vessel and Toji explains that he won't be able to take on Satoru head-on. He claims to be using the initial deposit from the Time Vessel Association to wear him down without elaborating. Toji loses his bet on the race and Shiu tells him he's not cut out for gambling. Before he leaves, Shiu tells the Sorcerer Killer that he's counting on him and asks about Megumi. However, Toji can't manage to remember who that is.

Back at the hotel with the Star Plasma Vessel, Satoru, and Suguru discuss if they should take the girl to a doctor. They wish they could use reverse cursed technique like Shoko but she's always been terrible at explaining how it works. The Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amani, wakes up and smacks Satoru. She assumes a battle stance and threatens both boys because she doesn't believe they're on her side. Misato enters the room and finds the boys bullying Riko before explaining they're all on the same side.

Satoru states Riko is different from what he expected considering she's going to be assimilated into Tengen. Riko embraces her role as the Star Plasma Vessel and proudly states that she is Tengen and Tengen is her. Satoru and Suguru casually ignore Riko, annoying Riko. She realizes that she's missing school at the moment and everyone goes to Renchoku Girls' Junior High. Satoru argues that they should return to Jujutsu High but Masamichi explains over the phone that fulfilling all of Riko's quests is a part of their mission too. Misato adds that Riko lost her family at a young age and she wants her to enjoy her last day with her friends. Suguru smiles and says if Misato is her family, honoring her.

Satoru asks about the status of Suguru's surveillance cursed spirits and two of them are taken out before long. Meanwhile, Toji eats at a restaurant while watching more races. He's posted a bounty on Riko using the deposit from the Time Vessel Association, leading several curse users to move in on her. Suguru goes to confront the curse users while Satoru and Misato search for Riko to evacuate her. Shiu calls Toji while he's at the restaurant and informs him that the girl isn't at Jujutsu High yet. He also reminds Toji that he'll lose his deposit if someone else takes out the girl. Not only that, but the Time Vessel Association may claim they could've used the bounty system in the first place and not pay for the finished job. Unphased, Toji explains that Satoru Gojo is the first person to inherit both the Limitless and the Six Eyes in hundreds of years. He's confident nobody will get to the girl with him guarding her and states they'll leave the bounty up for another forty-seven hours. Toji asks Shiu to get the deposit back from the site once the time limit is up and hangs up the call when he protests.

Back at Riko's school, Suguru encounters an elderly curse user who summons two simple shikigami. Suguru recognizes that he covered his flank with a shikigami after seeing his opponent's uniform, assuming there would be multiple enemies from Jujutsu High. He summons cursed spirits and the curse user notices that they're not shikigami. He believes Suguru fears close combat and begins to formulate a plan. However, Suguru suddenly summons a giant worm-like curse that fills the hallway and appears to swallow his opponent. Suguru turns around to leave when suddenly the curse user bursts through the window behind him.

Just when it seems the curse user has the advantage, his life flashes before his eyes. Suguru beats him down with superior hand-to-hand combat and reveals he was leading him into a close-range encounter the entire time. After beating the old man senseless, Suguru asks if he's with Q or the Time Vessel Association. Satoru runs into Riko's music class and gets the attention of all the girls, including the teacher. He leaves with Riko shortly after and although she's upset, she understands that Satoru is trying to prevent her friends from getting caught up in the fighting. A curse user with a bag-mask spots Satoru carrying Riko away.

Misato confronts the curse user and even overpowers him with a well-timed low blow. Suguru admits he's impressed as he arrives on the scene and reveals the information he received from the curse user. There is a bounty on Riko's head posted on the dark web for curse users with a time limit of 11 AM the next day. This conversation confirms that Riko is the target for the curse user and his body suddenly melts. Suguru calls Satoru to warn him but he and Riko are already surrounded by four clones of that very same curse user. He makes a fifth clone but Satoru slams it into another clone using Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue. Two more clones rush him head-on but are stopped by the Infinity before being easily dispatched.

Satoru reveals that his opponent's innate technique allows him to clone himself up to four times and he can decide which of them is the main body at a moment's notice. The curse user asks how he knows what his technique is and Satoru replies that he has good eyes. Satoru goes on to divulge his own technique, further explaining how Blue and the forward activation of the technique works. The curse user flees but Satoru uses blue to attract them both to a single point. He attempts to use Cursed Technique Rversal: Red but it fails to activate, as Satoru has yet to master reverse cursed technique. Satoru comically declares that he failed and then simply punches the curse user to defeat him.

Riko has been along for the ride the entire time with Satoru using his power to levitate her next to him. She gets a message on her cellphone and is shocked to find that she's received a message that Misato has been kidnapped.
