Chapter 8

Fearsome Womb, Part 3 (--) is the eighth chapter of Akutami Gege's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Summary
Yuji switches his consciousness with Sukuna. The king of curses tries to slaughter Yuji's friends but ends up doing exactly what Yuji wished, killing the other special grade cursed. After the battle, Yuji finds himself unable to take back control of his body. Sukuna hatches a scheme that could result in Yuji's demise.

Plot Details
Now in control of Yuji's body, Sukuna tells the special grade curse to give him a moment. He thinks over his situation, believing that if he goes after Megumi, Yuji will regain control.

Sukuna deduces that working with the curse will allow him to put Yuji in check. However, the curse attacks him with cursed energy.

Sukuna repairs Yuji's injuries and decides that the curse will die here. He overwhelms the special grade with little effort, terrifying it in the process. Kiyotaka Ijichi takes Nobara to the hospital and Megumi stays behind to watch after Yuji. Meanwhile, Sukuna expresses his displeasure with being categorized as a special grade alongside a much weaker curse.

The other curse manages to heal its wounds but Sukuna is unimpressed. He responds by showcasing true Jujutsu ability. Using Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, Sukuna slices the curse to pieces and takes back on of his fingers from within its head.

Annoyed, Sukuna tells Yuji to take back control. After no response, the devilish persona realizes that he's in control for now and maliciously grins.

Yuji realizes the Domain has disappeared, meaning the special grade is dead. Suddenly, Sukuna appears beside him and explains that Yuji is paying for overusing Sukuna's power without restriction. He knows its only a matter of time, so Sukuna rips out Yuji's heart. He as a curse can live without it, but Yuji will die if he changes back now.

Sukuna ingests the second finger for good measure and prepares to kill Megumi. Megumi says that this is just like the last time Sukuna surfaced, except now the roles have been reversed.
