Chapter 164

Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Part 4 (1④) is the one hundred and sixty-fourth chapter of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Plot Details
Itadori stands off against Higuruma, with the shikigami floating intimidatingly behind him. Itadori is resolute to adapt to however Higuruma will attack, when suddenly Higuruma invokes a Domain Expansion. Itadori immediately moves in for attack before Higuruma can activate his Cursed Technique, but he simply falls. Higuruma explains that neither of them can use violence in this space.

The shikigami, named Judgeman, begins to read off the charge against Itadori. "Itadoru Yuuji, under-18, entered the gambling establishment Maji Vegas in Sendai on July 16th, 2017". Higuruma explains also that the Judgeman knows everything about those in the Domain Expansion space, but the info is not shared with Higuruma, except for an envelope of "evidence".The evidence does not actually prove anything, as Judgeman makes decisions based on Itadori and Higuruma's declarations. "Make your claims, clear your doubts, and win a "not guilty" from the Judgeman."

There is a flashback to Tengen explaining how Domain Expansions in the past worked compared to modern Domain Expansions, and the same concept is applied to Higuruma's Domain Expansion, by only keeping the "must-hit" aspect of the Domain Expansion, enforcing rules on both sides. Higuruma continues his explanation of how the Judgeman trial works; both sides have only one chance to lay their claims (Silence, Denial or Confession) and the Judgeman will give a verdict based on the arguments that Higurama and Itadori provide. Towards the charge aforementioned, Itadori decides to lie, which was then easily overturned by Higuruma's evidence. Judgeman rules Itadori "Guilty" and commands "Confiscation."

They return to outside the Domain Expansion, where Higuruma attacks Itadori with an enlarged gavel. Itadori realizes he could not use his cursed energy at all, but still manages to survive the attack. Chapter End.
