After enduring Hakari Kinji’s ruthless trial, Yuji Itadori finally earns his attention. Yuji and Megumi Fushiguro then reveal the grim truth — Satoru Gojo has been sealed, and Masamichi Yaga has been executed by the jujutsu higher-ups. The revelation rattles Hakari, though he keeps his composure.
Understanding the immense danger posed by Kenjaku’s Culling Game, Hakari agrees to join their cause — but not without a condition. In return for his help, he demands a future favor, which the team reluctantly accepts.
Megumi then drops another bombshell: after the recent Zenin clan massacre, he has been appointed the new head of the Zenin family. The news shocks Hakari, realizing Megumi now holds powerful influence within jujutsu society — influence that could challenge the rigid, outdated system threatening his underground fight club.
Unbeknownst to them, Maki Zenin is already carrying out a bloody purge of her clan — an act destined to forever alter the Zenin family’s legacy.
