Gojo's class of first-years gets their third and final student introduced into the class. The fiery Girl of Steel Nobara is initially unimpressed with her peers until she's given a task where she must work together with Yuji to exorcise a number of Curses. When faced with the life of another in her hands, Nobara looks to her past.

Yuji is unable to take back his body due to repercussions from overusing Sukuna. The King of Curses takes advantage of that and decides that he's going to take the body hostage and kill Megumi. Feeling responsible for dealing with Yuji, Megumi prepares to face Sukuna on his own.
