"Do you remember our talk about... How to create a world where curses no longer exist? No matter what method you adopt... Human beings will advance one stage higher. The next stage of humanity... Lies in breaking away... From cursed energy." Yuki Tsukumo successfully rescues everyone and confronts Kenjaku directly. "No. It lies in optimizing cursed energy." While Kenjaku believes optimizing it will bring about their evolution. "Actually... I don't get either way." Itadori says.

"I thought you abandoned that method 12 years ago... When Toji Zenin died." Kenjaku says. "I was talking to Geto. Oh well. I came back to the original priniciples. Besides your method has a big hole. Compared to Japan, extremely few jujutsu sorcerers and cursed spirits appear overseas. Tengen's barrier is necessary for optimizing cursed energy. The only ones capable of becoming sorcerers through Tengen and optimizing cursed energy... Are the humans of this country. That would mean Japan has a virtual monopoly... On cursed energy. Certain super-power... and the middle east would not remain silent."

"Flesh and blood human beings are the energy source... So you can easily imagine the suffering that would result. That is a world far removed... From the ideal that I pursue." Yuki says. "Ha ha! So what? We have different objectives. I do not wish for a world without cursed spirits. Or an idyllic and peaceful world. Non sorcerers. Sorcerers. Cursed spirits. These are all possibilities.... Of cursed energy in the form of human beings. And yet.. There must me more... To human potential. I tried to bring that forth myself." Kenjaku says further on.

"But that doesn't work. What I can create... Does not exceed the bounds of my own potential. The answer is always... Flickering darkly in chaos. Do you understand? What I should have created was chaos that not even I could control. I have already... Extracted the cursed technique." Kenjaku says, Y/n breaks free from the chilly prison and shivers. Y/n wipes away the melted ice from his body, as he looks at Yuki. "There's a cursed spirit called Mahito, right?! He has a cursed technique that can manipulate the soul!" Yuki tells them. "That guy, Geto just absorbed him." Y/n informs her. "Seriously?!"

The curse user remotely activates Idle Transfiguration on every human he's marked. "Remote activation of a cursed technique?!" Yuki says looking up seeing a mark. "Thank you, L/n Y/n. The quality of the cursed spirits' techniques ceases to grow... At the moment they are absorbed by cursed spirit manipulation. Mahito grew during his fight against you. I actually wanted Jogo too, but oh well." Kenjaku tells him. "What have you done?" Yuki says to hin. "I remotely cast idle transfiguration... On two types of non sorcerers who'd already been marked..."

"The people who I had ingest cursed objects like Yuji Itadori... And the people with cursed techniques whose brains were meant to be non sorcerers like Junpei Yoshino. I adjusted their brains for sorcery. To the former, I gave strength as vessel. To the latter, the capacity to use cursed techniques. And... as of this moment... I have broken the seal on the cursed objects. Some have been deep in slumber since being exposed to my cursed energy at the time of marking... But they will soon awaken. To deepen their understanding of cursed energy... I will have them fight each other. I carefully chose them and the cursed objects. Think of it as releasing a thousand malevolent Yuji Itadoris."

"A thousand? That's not many. You underestimate human rationality. You think people will kill each other simply because they got power?" Yuki says not believing it at all. "Everything has an order. I would not make such an oversight. Your questions are starting to lack perspicacity." Kenjaku says smiling. "He's pissing me off. Let's go beat him down!" Yuki says to them. "Sorry, I can't move right now..." Itadori says unable to move due to the ice holding him back. "Huff! Huff!"

"What happened Uraume?" Kenjaku asks then. "Poison!" Choso's poison abruptly causes Uraume to collapse down on one knee. "My blood was mixed in with piercing blood. Of course it's poison." Choso says, Uraume's ice suddenly light on fire and melts, freeing all the Jujutsu high sorcerers who were frozen in place. Y/n coughs up a bit, some blood tainted on his hands. "I'm almost at my limit..." Y/n tells them. "Wait. There's no backup from Mai. There may still be more of them." Momo says to them.

"My comrade is protecting Aoi, the girl with the gun as well as the suit. They don't belong here." Yuki tells Momo. "Can you move?" Panda asks Kamo. "Yeah. I can regulate body temperature. So no problem." Y/n looks behind him seeing Kusakabe on the ground. "Dammit! It's so damn cold!!" Nobara shivers, Y/n looks at her in concern. "Are you really that cold? I can heat you up." Y/n suggests to her. "

"I am still talking." Kenjaku says to them sighing. "The cursed objects that I provided are what's left of sorcerers I painstakingly made vows with a millennium ago. However I did not only enter into contracts with sorcerers. But those vows... become null when I obtained this body. This... Is the world of the future." Kenjaku announces, and releases numerous cursed spirits to cover up his escape. "Goodbye... Yuji Itadori." He shows the prison realm to his enemies and bids farewell to Itadori. "Gojo sensei!!" Itadori yells. "I expect much from you."

"Are you listening Sukuna? It is beginning once again. The world of heian. The golden age of cursed techniques!" Choso tells them.
