Having never met each other, the boys both individually promised that if Nino was ever separated from them, her voice would be the beacon to reunite them once again.Īfter six long years, destiny has finally placed Nino, Momo, and Yuzu in the same high school. After experiencing two sudden heart-wrenching partings when she was only a child, Nino Arisugawa has been singing her songs to the ocean, bound by a promise made with her two childhood friends-her first love, Momo Sakaki, and a boy who composed music, Kanade "Yuzu" Yuzuriha. Seeing this, Satoru Gojo, Megumi's teacher, decides to take him to the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School to propose a plan to his superiors: postpone Yuji's death sentence until he consumes all of Sukuna's fingers, allowing them to kill Sukuna once and for allĮvery day, a young girl wearing a mask stands by the beach and sings a nostalgic melody. However, despite being possessed, Yuji is still able to retain control over his body for the most part. Due to Sukuna's evil nature, all sorcerers are required to exorcise him (and by extension, Yuji) immediately. Unable to defeat the Curses due to his lack of magical powers, Yuji swallows the finger to protect Megumi and his friends and becomes the host of Ryomen Sukuna, a powerful Curse. His friends at the Occult Club unsealed the talisman, a rotting finger, which attracted Curses to the school, creatures that are brought about through negative emotions and are strengthened by consuming magical powers present in sorcerers or such charms. He is then confronted by Megumi Fushiguro, a sorcerer who informs him of a high-grade cursed charm talisman at his school that Yuji recently made contact with. After his grandfather's death, Yuji interprets these messages as one statement: everyone deserves "a proper death". These two ideas seemingly stem from his grandfather's own regrets. On his deathbed, his grandfather instills two powerful messages within Yuji: "always help people" and "die surrounded by people". Instead, he chooses to join the Occult Research Club due to the freedom it allows him in attending, he goes to visit his dying grandfather in the hospital every day. He regularly avoids the track team due to the time commitment required for it, despite his innate talent for the sport. Yuji Itadori is an unnaturally fit high school student living in Sendai with his grandfather. Given the chance to prevent his ex-girlfriend’s tragic death at the hands of the Tokyo Manji Gang, Takemichi decides to fly through time to change the course of the future. It seems as though Takemichi can alter the flow of time. Takemichi urges him to protect his sister before inexplicably returning to the future. Without thinking, he admits to his seeming death before flashing back to the past. Half a second before a train ends his pitiful life for good, Takemichi flashes back to that same day twelve years ago, when he was still dating Hinata Tachibana.Īfter being forced to relive the very same day that began his downward spiral, Takemichi meets Hinata’s younger brother. A sudden news report on the Tokyo Manji Gang’s cruel murder of the only girlfriend he ever had alongside her brother only adds insult to injury. Today, he’s a nobody: a washed-up nonentity made fun of by children and always forced to apologize to his younger boss.
He had respect, a gang of friends he could count on, and even a girlfriend. Takemichi Hanagaki’s second year of middle school was the highest point in his life.
