Prologue

Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of today, arrives late to the scene.
During Megumi's mission to Sugisawa High, his sensei Gojo arrives after all of the cursed spirits have been exorcised. Satoru arrives and tells Megumi that he wasn't going to come at first. The Higher-ups ordered him to do so in order to apprehend Sukuna's finger.
Satoru agreed to do so on the terms that he could have time to himself. Satoru examines Yuji and confirms that he's fully incarnated Sukuna, before asking if Yuji can switch to Sukuna at will.
Yuji confirms this and Gojo requests him to change to Sukuna for ten seconds and then take over again. Yuji is skeptical, but Satoru assures the young man that he's the strongest.[1]

Yuji gives control to Sukuna for ten seconds.
Just after Satoru asks Yuji to switch, he reveals to Megumi that during the aforementioned time gifted to him by the higher-ups, he went to buy souvenirs, shocking Megumi. Satoru specifies that he went to get Kikufuku Mochi and turns his back on Yuji, only for Sukuna to jump up behind Satoru; Megumi has just enough time to warn him of the ambush before Sukuna lands with a large explosion.
When the dust clears, Sukuna is on all fours and less than an inch from Megumi’s face; as for Satoru, he had swiftly appeared behind Sukuna and is now sitting on the incarnated sorcerer’s back. He casually proclaims he's going to show off for his student, before exchanging a few hits with Sukuna, knocking the latter down with a powerful blow and eliciting a comment that jujutsu sorcerers have always been troublesome in every era.
Sukuna breaks up the ground and sends a shockwave of rubble at Satoru and Megumi. He believes that his attack landed, but once the dust settles, he realizes Satoru had levitated the harmful rubble to prevent him and Megumi from being hit. By now, ten seconds have passed, and Yuji promptly takes back control of his body as Satoru counts to the ten-second mark, annoying Sukuna as his control falls away.[2]
Aftermath
Satoru is impressed that Yuji really can control Sukuna's influence on his body, the reason being a “cage” for Sukuna like Yuji is so rare it only appears approximately once every millennium. Yuji says that Sukuna is annoying, but Satoru replies that he's getting off easy, before he knocks the former out and says that he has the potential to be a vessel. Megumi counters that even if that is the case, jujutsu regulations state he must be executed. Satoru then asks what Megumi wants to do with Yuji and his student proclaims that he doesn't want to see Yuji die.[3]
