Gojo's Past Arc
Years ago, Utahime is conducting a mission with Mei Mei when they got trapped within the spirit's barrier. As the two discuss what to do, Satoru Gojo shows up and frees them from the barrier. Utahime gets angry at Gojo, which causes her to not notice the spirit that is about to devour her. Suguru Geto appears and summons a spirit that devours the spirit that was about to devour Utahime. Shoko Ieiri then shows up and asks if Utahime is alright, which Utahime responds saying she is glad to see her. After the mission is complete, Utahime and Mei Mei head back to the college.

Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc
Utahime arrives at Tokyo along with the Kyoto students and staff, to attend to the Kyoto Goodwill Event. As the Kyoto students start to insult one another, Utahime arrives and tells them to instead, fight with each other. Utahime then wonders where Gojo is. Gojo arrives and reveals that Sukuna's host, Yuji Itadori, is alive. Utahime then meets with Gojo, who tells her that there is a spy working with cursed spirits and that he wants her to investigate the Kyoto college for leads. When Utahime asks why he wants her to investigate since she could be the spy, Gojo replies that she doesn't have the nerve to which causes her to throw her cup of tea at him.

Utahime later meets up with the other staff member to watch the event. Just before the event begins, Gojo has her make a speech to the students but doesn't give her enough time for one. While watching the event, Utahime wonders why the students don't just get along, Gojo responds by saying that they got it from her. When Kasumi Miwa is put to sleep by Toge Inumaki, Utahime becomes worried and decides to go get her. When all the talismans suddenly burn red, the spectators all believe that there is an intruder. Utahime along with Gojo and Yoshinobu Gakuganji decide to head over to the site and deal with the problem.

As the three head over to the site, they notice that a screen is covering the site which Utahime tells Gojo to head in before the site is fully covered. When Gojo says that the site is already covered, the three stop right in front of the screen. They decide to test out the screen and finds that Gojo is the only one that can't enter, both Utahime and Yoshinobu head inside. Once inside, the two encounter Juzo Kumiya and Yoshinobu decides to take fight him alone while she goes to look for the students. As Utahime heads towards the students, she encounters Haruta Shigemo, another intruder. When Mai Zenin and Nobara Kugisaki shows up to assist Utahime and the screen is lifted, the enemy decides to run away.

Once the intruders have been dealt with, Utahime attends a meeting with the other staff members about what had happened. After the event is finished, Utahime heads back to Kyoto along with the students and staff.

Utahime reveals that Mechamaru's real identity is Kokichi Muta, and explains how his puppet manipulation ability works. As they reach the room where Kokichi is supposed to be at, they find out that he is not there and come to the conclusion that Kokichi is the mole.

Utahime is on the train to Shibuya with the other Kyoto students, while they give Miwa privacy. When Mai asks what Kokichi did, Utahime replies that it no longer matters as he's already dead. She later arrives at Shibuya with the rest of her allies where they open fire on Pseudo-Geto. Pseudo-Geto uses Maximum: Uzumaki at point blank range on Miwa, Utahime along with Momo and Atsuya jumps in to protect her where Momo Nishimiya angrily yells at Utahime that she isn't supposed to be out on the front. When Choso suddenly arrives on the battlefield, and yells "Noritoshi Kamo", everyone is left in shock.
