In September 2018, there was a murder at Kinema Cinema that resulted in jujutsu sorcerers coming to investigate.

Yuji, Nanami, and Ijichi were able to set up their base of operations within the city using a room within that appeared to be an office building.

Eventually, Nanami came into contact with Mahito. They fought in Mahito's underground lair, which was ultimately destroyed by Nanami in the climax of their first fight. At the same time, Yuji bonded with Junpei over movies and even traveled to his house for dinner.

However, their friendship ended when Nagi Yoshino was murdered by cursed spirits that suddenly attacked her the night after dinner. Searching for revenge, Junpei is manipulated by Mahito into attacking his own school. Yuji attempts to stop him, but they're interrupted by Mahito, who finally sacrifices Junpei's life in order to infuriate Sukuna's vessel.

Yuji clashes with Mahito, who hopes to leverage Yuji into a Binding Vow favoring Sukuna. However, Nanami rescues Yuji and together they're able to overwhelm Mahito, who escapes underground after Sukuna intervenes in the fight.
