Within the universe of JuJutsu Kaisen, curses are manifested from negative energy, while sorcerers exist to combat these malevolent forces. The system categorizes these entities into different grades based on their level of threat and power. Grades 4 and 3 represent the lower tiers, typically housing weaker curses and sorcerers, with exceptions like Maki Zenin, who, despite lacking significant cursed energy, possesses formidable strength.

Grades 2 and 1 are reserved for more potent sorcerers and curses, showcasing increased strength and danger. At the pinnacle lies the Special Grade, housing individuals and entities too formidable for lower grades to confront. Among these elite ranks stands Satoru Gojo, considered one of the most powerful in this category, currently engaged in unprecedented actions that defy expectations.

Yuji desperately fought to break free from the curse's relentless grip, his gaze fixed on his friends as they were swallowed by the ever-shifting flesh. Megumi, sensing the urgency, hastily rose to his feet, his mind racing to devise an effective course of action.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAIjguBiRHdO
Megumi (Thoughts): “Dammit, what do I do about this? I can’t let it kill that kid, but it dispatched my wolves so quickly, I’ll have to figure out something.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAuXwg6zC3m6
Yuji grimaced and gritted his teeth, determined to maintain his grip on the finger. Driven by desperation, he pondered, "What the hell do I do now..." Recalling Megumi's cautionary words, he remembered, "The finger grants immense power, but the odds of success are incredibly slim."
41Please respect copyright.PENANACcfRRHlJuB
In a last-ditch effort, Yuji resorted to using his mouth to toss the finger into the air, readying himself to devour it. Suddenly, a surge of energy pulsed through the air, and to his surprise, the renowned Special Grade Sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, appeared seemingly out of thin air, rushing to his aid.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA4y6jc3FKiX
Gojo jumped up and stood on Yuji’s shoulders, looking down at him with a big smile.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAN4j4eJbpkF
Gojo: “Hey there you, need some help?”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAg6g7Mpgg46
Before Yuji could react, the finger he had tossed upward landed on Gojo's head, bouncing back into the air. Gojo glanced up in curiosity, only to have the finger fall straight into his mouth, which he swallowed without hesitation. The curse let out a deafening roar and attempted to seize Gojo with its distorted arm, but Gojo swiftly deployed his Infinity technique, thwarting the curse's attack.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAdsPTULDw91
Seeing the sequence of events unfold, Megumi was left utterly bewildered by what he had just witnessed - Gojo had consumed one of Sukuna's fingers.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAjLPJi7Hxk8
Megumi: “Gojo-sensei! You just ate one of Ryomen Sukunas fingers! You’ve got to spit it out!”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAH8A6CaBmiI
Gojo stood there oddly silent for him, the curse continued trying to punch through Gojo’s Infinity. In Gojo’s mind, everything was blank, he looked around and in the distance spotted a figure. He blinked a few times but decided to call out to them, as he approached.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAbiDhbvgDyj
Gojo: “Yo, who’re you? And where am I at?”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7DbGSKVjW
Approaching the figure, Gojo watched in astonishment as it slowly turned around, unveiling a startling sight: it was himself, but adorned with peculiar tattoos on his face, including what appeared to be smaller eyes beneath his main ones. This version of him sported sharp nails and lacked his usual jacket, showcasing strange tattoos covering his torso and arms.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAlN47qF4Fbc
Sukuna: “You, you are truly a worthy vessel..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANARgnob3kXX3
Gojo's expression shifted from confusion to bewilderment as the void within him darkened. A towering pile of bones materialized beneath Sukuna, steadily increasing in height until a throne appeared at its peak, upon which Sukuna nonchalantly seated himself. Resting his cheek on his fist and crossing his legs, Sukuna exuded an air of superiority. Despite the ominous display, Gojo remained unperturbed, his gaze fixated on the towering bones. As he looked up at Sukuna, a myriad of questions swirled in his mind, leaving him with more uncertainties than clarity.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAUMCJ3IU8L8
Gojo: “I heard about you, Sukuna.. I heard about the countless sorcerers and innocents you’ve slaughtered over your years of existence..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANASzT0u8aWK9
In response Sukuna chuckles a bit, he crosses his legs the other way.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAhsXugJnk3n
Sukuna: “Good to know I’m still relevant.. Don’t mind the bones sorcerer.. Just making myself at home before I take over for a bit..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAbol1tHQWMb
Gojo still looked confused, and he inquired further.
41Please respect copyright.PENANANciJOP4uO4
Gojo: “Take over?” The void filled with silence as Gojo thought for a second, he then smirked. “Ah, we’re in my mind, huh? Strange, I thought there’d be more to see in here, I’m not that stupid after all.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAy2M2vO0naX
A rare moment of shared laughter ensued between Gojo and Sukuna. Sukuna wiped a tear from his eye, composing himself.
41Please respect copyright.PENANARYaafq7K3J
Sukuna: “You’re a funny one you know that? I’ll admit, I was worried I’d be hooked with some buzzkiller.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAjPGSmDG7fe
Gojo composed himself and responded casually.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAbNsqppxYbI
Gojo: “Yeah, well, most don’t really get my sense of humor, but I just say they're too weak minded to get it.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAvpPZKGY37r
Sukuna looked interested.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAFLd5u7FseO
Sukuna: “Weak minded you say.. Did they also lack true strength compared to yourself?”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAUfKnQW72oZ
Gojo nods.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAzb07Zdjrb1
Gojo: “Yeah, most of them out there aint nothing compared to me.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAHoBcbdcOEZ
Sukuna: “I see, well now, they’re truly nothing compared to you.. With me tagging along as I am now, your latent power is already greater.. And it can become even greater should you consume all of my fingers.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAt67icwv0Yw
A short pause ensued.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAcMAb6XhEJd
Sukuna: “Tell me, do you truly believe in wasting your time defending the weak..? Not a single bit of conflict within yourself one saying, ‘maybe defending these worthless brats isn’t worth my time..’ They consciously choose not to get stronger to defend themselves. So they must not want to be defended, right? Why not focus on making yourself stronger so you can crush those lazy maggots, create a world where the strongest survive and the weakling will die..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAsWEQ3eGAck
Gojo was taken aback by the sudden change of tone, though he knew he shouldn’t be, he was considering Sukuna’s words. As he was, right then, something snapped, something inside of him. He didn’t care anymore, he didn’t care about protecting anyone, he didn’t care about teaching his students, nothing. All he felt at that moment was a seething desire for power, and a strong urge to crush all those deemed weak beneath his feet. It was a powerful feeling, and consumed him quickly.
41Please respect copyright.PENANACvls7CdROa
He didn’t fight it, it was what he wanted, all he wanted at that moment. He grinned, then he spoke to Sukuna.
41Please respect copyright.PENANATr9LI0nxlR
Gojo: “Seems I’ve got my true feelings for humanity all figured out.. Then let's form a pact, we’ll get stronger, stronger than everyone.. I’ll get all your fingers, and as one we’ll create this new world, a world where we rule as Gods, and see to it that the weak perish.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAirvejfSAAP
Sukuna grins as well, rising from his throne, and making his way down to Gojo.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAst9IuH6E99
Sukuna: “Glad you see it how it should be seen, but this plan will have to go smoothly.. So we can’t let anyone know what we're doing less we use them as a pawn to our plan..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANATYyuFr2nFx
Sukuna, now standing in front of Gojo, extends a hand.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAAfLIxt7HdI
Sukuna: “I accept the pact.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAXKnJBY8nc9
Gojo nods, and shakes his hand.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAOVZfR0bgWC
Back in the real world, the curse is just about to throw another reckless punch at Gojo. In no time and with much ease, Gojo halts the punch. He teleports to the ground, the same tattoos that were on Sukuna appeared on him, he took off his blindfold, opening all four of his eyes that shine blue. Mugumi was in disbelief at what he’s witnessing, Yuji was still struggling to get free, cursing under his breath. Gojo was no longer in control, now it’s Sukuna.
41Please respect copyright.PENANARDSfPDIgtB
Sukuna: “Dismantle..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAILpeHdU6UO
Once that word was said, a massive slash was sent towards the corpse and cut it clean in half near instantly. It growled loudly and dropped Yuji, its body reacted to itself. It shot its gross arm towards Sukuna, but before it reached him Sukuna teleported to the side. He placed his hand on the curse’s arm.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA4CwF9QaofY
Sukuna: “Cleave..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAAkk6WAzZ4h
The curses entire arm is sliced up into tiny pieces, the curse let out a distorted yell of agony and began to grow out more arms trying to catch Sukuna off guard with a relentless barrage of punches. Sukuna disappeared in a flash, reappearing behind it and before anyone's thoughts could form, before a single thing could react, before 1 second, Sukuna cocked his arm back, his hand flaming with cursed energy, and right there, he threw out a black flash that landed and instantly blew up the curse into little bloody fragments.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAD65FTsxCfM
Megumi and Yuji both watched this in absolute horror at his power. Sukuna turned towards Megumi, who responded by preparing to summon whatever he needed to fight this threat.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAzEC7xzqO8c
Megumi: “G-Gojo, you consumed one of Sukunas fingers and now house him as his vessel, by law I’m required to execute you..” He’d think to himself now. “What the hell am I talking about?! I can’t take him< stop Megumi! Submit!” His expression got firm but he’d gulp.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAgJF1JvK0Y3
Yuji got up on his feet, and took a fighting position behind Sukuna.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAAlGmdZYxjf
Yuji: “What's up with this guy?”
41Please respect copyright.PENANA8KISBSNpa1
They both began to circle Sukuna, analyzing him.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA4sD1uCaCAK
Megumi: “That's Gojo, Special Grade Sorcerer, strongest in the world, and now he’s the vessel for Ryomen Sukuna, the one we absolutely do not want to wander earth. Especially not in Gojo’s body.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANA5lj2OK5A6Q
Yuji’s expression got firm, he knew to take this seriously now. Sukuna was just standing there, waiting for them to attack.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAYyfcxo6RV2
Yuji: “So all I’m hearing is, we're basically going to fight someone completely and utterly unstoppable.. You have to be crazy if you think we're gonna win this.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANARXmMbVW5w0
Megumi: “You don’t exactly need to be here idiot, you can’t even use cursed energy.. You gotta get lost if you truly value your own life..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAoahxztt8fj
Sukuna grins.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAw6kkIkPyy7
Sukuna: “I forbid it.”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAU1gCO3eQVC
Both Megumi and Yuji freeze, Megumi inquires.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAfhPlFYK1kR
Megumi: “You.. Forbid it..?”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAUKWvil93BG
Sukuna: “That's right, because I’m in such a good mood, I’d like to offer a deal. You both will work under us and be by our side as we cleanse the world of the weak. And in exchange you both will be spared from an untimely demise. But I’ll give you both a chance to get out of this pact, if you can beat me, or even land a single hit on me, I’ll leave you both alone.”
Megumi (Thoughts): “If we run, he’ll kill us without hesitation.. But if we stay and fight we’ll lose and be his servants, but at least we’ll live.. But there is a chance, just a very, very slim chance that we meet the conditions to get off free..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANAMzY5fgmaqY
Megumi’s expression gets firm.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAHcsw0rInho
Megumi: “Very well, if we land a hit then you can’t touch us at all. And if we lose..”
41Please respect copyright.PENANA4ws0RjRLkK
Sukuna: “You will serve me..”
