In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 187, Kashimo turns the tide of battle against Hakari by capitalizing on his understanding of Hakari’s domain mechanics. Knowing that Hakari’s infinite cursed energy is triggered by landing a jackpot—and that his chances of hitting another one are temporarily increased—Kashimo launches a relentless assault. The overwhelming barrage leaves Hakari knocked unconscious. However, Hakari outsmarts him by activating a consecutive effect, replaying the damage and restoring himself to his earlier condition while still benefiting from his boosted probability.
As the clash escalates, Hakari enters riichi mode, successfully hitting a jackpot of triple sixes. This activates his “unkillable” state, granting him limitless cursed energy along with automatic reverse cursed technique. Realizing that Hakari is effectively invincible for the duration, Kashimo decides not to wait out the round and instead confronts him head-on. He intensifies his electrified cursed energy, resolved to break through Hakari’s seemingly unstoppable power.
The chapter then shifts to a flashback set 400 years in the past, depicting Kashimo’s meeting with Kenjaku following a brutal battle. Bored by ordinary opponents, Kashimo becomes intrigued upon learning about Sukuna’s legendary strength. Seeking a chance to face the King of Curses, he accepts Kenjaku’s proposal to become a cursed object, believing this path will eventually lead him to Sukuna during the Culling Game.
