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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAapNnf9IWZJ
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.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA9sVs8iXhkT
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."
44Please respect copyright.PENANAvlWBU8qfgM
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAuvcjZw1uK9
Gojo jumped up and stood on Yuji’s shoulders, looking down at him with a big smile.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAC1NAvdyA32
Gojo: “Hey there you, need some help?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAiKdH6m0mBr
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAz10dWy1Ljf
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA0QiiTnZG8O
Megumi: “Gojo-sensei! You just ate one of Ryomen Sukunas fingers! You’ve got to spit it out!”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA6UAEOFDc1X
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAYnRN0fiAiq
Gojo: “Yo, who’re you? And where am I at?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAY64TTP6W36
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAk3mnkG1b1D
Sukuna: “You, you are truly a worthy vessel..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAq5c7bw5pvI
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAyGLhkg5VQX
Gojo: “I heard about you, Sukuna.. I heard about the countless sorcerers and innocents you’ve slaughtered over your years of existence..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAVmG3Iem9QM
In response Sukuna chuckles a bit, he crosses his legs the other way.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA4kuwShFWcS
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..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAl5RdRpZpe9
Gojo still looked confused, and he inquired further.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAZA9EH6fNLE
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.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAjnkrlhDjmU
A rare moment of shared laughter ensued between Gojo and Sukuna. Sukuna wiped a tear from his eye, composing himself.
44Please respect copyright.PENANARQyV9stvxJ
Sukuna: “You’re a funny one you know that? I’ll admit, I was worried I’d be hooked with some buzzkiller.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA8elcaknABv
Gojo composed himself and responded casually.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAEwUsZhko8p
Gojo: “Yeah, well, most don’t really get my sense of humor, but I just say they're too weak minded to get it.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAdhJtEZJeZ7
Sukuna looked interested.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAcyRibWLEvQ
Sukuna: “Weak minded you say.. Did they also lack true strength compared to yourself?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAvHzH0X7yob
Gojo nods.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAVEbQNMESLd
Gojo: “Yeah, most of them out there aint nothing compared to me.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAYIF1cjwP9k
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.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAw67y3d3zTL
A short pause ensued.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA3gsutXssOa
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..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA9L9OGDfiMh
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAbztYsAZDrg
He didn’t fight it, it was what he wanted, all he wanted at that moment. He grinned, then he spoke to Sukuna.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAneADcf9uNi
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.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAjSX39NBx6A
Sukuna grins as well, rising from his throne, and making his way down to Gojo.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA9ulA3eEL6s
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..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANARgXau4Z60V
Sukuna, now standing in front of Gojo, extends a hand.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAcohgDt2YtU
Sukuna: “I accept the pact.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANANnm9yd5mud
Gojo nods, and shakes his hand.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA3YbuPjfTZd
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANARkn8mBmhGs
Sukuna: “Dismantle..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANADa8r3NUU1h
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANANRYI0mBoxR
Sukuna: “Cleave..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAvk5UyGZGeI
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA72jnzDrPyZ
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA1flnkkYTLr
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAAp79WUlkwJ
Yuji got up on his feet, and took a fighting position behind Sukuna.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAoChRdsV82l
Yuji: “What's up with this guy?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAvPIgiqTaVY
They both began to circle Sukuna, analyzing him.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAMV3GRi5GKC
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.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANASycM4ERy1l
Yuji’s expression got firm, he knew to take this seriously now. Sukuna was just standing there, waiting for them to attack.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA2p3coeOjP2
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.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANArxfAg5CS2G
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..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAaZjOHX6zxR
Sukuna grins.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAZD52UQ2hRH
Sukuna: “I forbid it.”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAmIhK7jgtSj
Both Megumi and Yuji freeze, Megumi inquires.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAssxbIl3u09
Megumi: “You.. Forbid it..?”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAwqsdabpC0F
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..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANA2CJorAFYxr
Megumi’s expression gets firm.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAir5KKM0hfg
Megumi: “Very well, if we land a hit then you can’t touch us at all. And if we lose..”
44Please respect copyright.PENANAhe45CQ67Dj
Sukuna: “You will serve me..”
