Plot Details
After splitting up with Megumi near Shibuya Tower, Yuji runs along the expressway towards the Shibuya Station. While dashing across a bridge, Yuji notices civilians are being attacked by Transfigured Humans down below.

There's a large number of attackers and Yuji is left contemplating rather he should intervene but declares doing so would not leave him with enough time to save all the civilians. Being extremely close to Shibuya Station leaves him even more torn on what he should do. Suddenly, he hears someone say "spiced cod roe", a very familiar vocabulary that gives him some hope. Yuji notices it being Toge, who gives him a peace signed hand gesture. He jumps down asking Inumaki to protect the civilians, Toge responds by saying "Salmon, salmon" and Itadori quickly leaves the scene and heads to the station, deciding it's best to leave it to his senpai. Once Itadori leaves, Toge promptly unzips his turtleneck and pulls out what appears to be a Cursed Megaphone. He uses his Cursed Speech against the Transfigured Humans.

At 10:10 P.M., Yuji enters Shibuya Station. Unbeknownst to him, Choso awaits inside ready to avenge his brothers. The jujutsu student runs inside and is surprised to see the building is pretty much abandoned. He believed there were supposed to be a large group of people trapped in the station and wonders if he's going the right way.

Yuji stops after going down a set of stairs as he comes face to face with Choso. They're both altered to each other's presence, but Choso is first to act. He recognizes Yuji and is instantly enraged by the thought of his two brothers' deaths. As soon as Choso lays eyes on Yuji he quickly uses Blood Manipulation, Convergence Piercing Blood to attack him. Caught off guard by the Piercing Blood's incredible speed, Itadori tries to defend, but the attack immediately pierces clean through his left arm. Itadori bends his body to the left which prevents the attack from amputating his arm, making the attack shoot upwards and penetrate the ceiling, slicing a sign in two from above instead.

Choso immediately follows up by casting Convergence again, swirling blood and condensing it between his palms. Yuji gets low and rushes toward Choso with great haste whilst avoiding the incoming Piercing Blood simultaneously. Before Choso can attack with more blood, Yuji uppercuts him with his injured arm. Choso blocks the punch with his arm and leg as Yuji winces from the pain. Choso's guard is hit with a double impact, something Choso finds strange.
