Roppongi. Outside the Cursed Building.
"Take this, Underling."
A caterpillar emerged from White Zetsu's collar. It spat out a massive, jagged cleaver.
Dragon-Bone.
"This sword can shred a Grade 2 Spirit," Zetsu bragged. "I'm gifting it to you, Pink Gorilla."
"Gojo hates tools. He says they make you weak. But I say: Use whatever works!"
Itadori Yuji took the heavy sword. "Whoa! Thanks, Senior Zetsu!"
"You have Cursed Energy inside you (Sukuna's finger), but you can't control it yet," Zetsu explained like a wise mentor. "This sword will help."
"So tacky," Nobara Kugisaki scoffed. She marched toward the building. "I don't need handouts from a gangster spirit."
"Hey! Country Girl!" Zetsu grinned. "Jealous? Call me Big Brother and I might give you a gun!"
"IN YOUR DREAMS!" Nobara yelled back.
"Alright," Zetsu patted Yuji's back. "Go get 'em, Tiger. I'll stay here and supervise. Steak dinner on me afterwards!"
Yuji nodded and ran after Nobara.
Gojo leaned against the car. "Remember, Yuji! Don't let Sukuna out! Or he might kill everyone!"
"Got it!"
...
Inside the Car.
Gojo leaned in the window. "Zetsu, are you still holed up in Mirai's room all day?"
Zetsu rolled down the window. "Yeah. Mirai-boy finished his reading. He says he'll start teaching again soon."
"Good," Gojo grinned. "Megumi, when that fake-smiling guy comes out, ask him for advice. His Ten Shadows is stronger than yours."
Megumi Fushiguro, sitting on the curb, looked confused. Mirai-sensei... is stronger than me?
From inside the car, the sound of a Yakuza movie played loudly.
"Rule Number One!" Zetsu recited along with the movie. "Be ruthless! Be loyal! Have lots of underlings!"
Megumi sighed. He's hopeless.
...
Inside the Building.
SPLASH!
Purple blood splattered the wall.
Yuji backflipped, dodging a claw. He swung Dragon-Bone.
SLASH!
The Cursed Spirit's arm flew off.
"This sword is awesome!" Yuji cheered.
Third Floor.
Nobara glared at the Cursed Spirit holding a child hostage.
"Damn it," she muttered. "It's smart."
She dropped her hammer. "Fine. Let the kid go."
The Spirit grinned.
BOOM!
A fist punched through the wall behind the Spirit.
Yuji burst in. With one swing of Dragon-Bone, he severed the Spirit's arm and saved the kid.
"Don't let it escape!" Yuji yelled.
The Spirit tried to flee out the window.
Outside.
Zetsu leaned out of the car window, aiming the pink revolver.
"Tch. Useless underlings. Big Brother has to clean up."
"WAIT!" Megumi yelled. "Don't shoot! That gun will blow up the whole building!"
Before Zetsu could pull the trigger, Nobara's Straw Doll technique activated.
Straw Doll Technique: Resonance.
The Spirit exploded into dust.
"Nice," Zetsu lowered the gun. "She's got skills."
...
Night. 10 PM.
They ate steak and sushi in Shinjuku. Zetsu and Ijichi ate takeout in the car because Zetsu couldn't be seen in public (floating chopsticks would scare people).
Now, they were driving back to Jujutsu High.
Gojo stayed behind. "I'll walk back. You guys go ahead."
The car was packed. Ijichi driving. Nobara in passenger. Yuji, Megumi, and Zetsu in the back.
"Hey, Zetsu," Yuji asked. "Why don't you eat with us? Normal people can't see you."
"Mortals can't handle my aura," Zetsu scoffed. "Plus, floating food scares them."
Zetsu pulled out his phone. "I better call Mirai-boy. Tell him I'll be late."
"HA!" Nobara laughed. "Clown Face is a mama's boy! Calling home?"
Megumi frowned. Zetsu wasn't responding to the insults. He was staring out the window.
"Something's wrong," Megumi whispered.
BOOM!!!
A massive explosion erupted on the road ahead.
Flames engulfed the highway.
The car screeched to a halt.
