What kind of Kidō is this?
Utahime stared at Satoshi, unsure whether she should signal Kamo Kenshin to launch an attack.
Satoshi was stronger than them. If they struck first and failed to make an impact, they would only lose the initiative.
Mei Mei and Utahime exchanged a glance. Both could sense the uncertainty in each other's hearts.
Without understanding, the safest move was obviously not to attack recklessly.
The three Kyoto students were shaken by Satoshi's incantation and chose to wait and see.
But in reality, Satoshi wasn't paying any attention to Kamo Kenshin and the others at all. His eyes were locked on the direction where Satoru had stood moments earlier.
The Kidō he used now was an expression of respect—for Satoru.
...
Satoshi's chanting echoed in the sky, drawing the attention of every spectator.
This chant was different from the ones before. It signaled a brand-new Kidō.
But what was the effect of this Kidō?
No one knew.
At the same time, on the other side, Satoru had completely removed the special sunglasses from his nose. His azure eyes, shrouded in white mist, appeared on the live curse broadcast.
Those are the Six Eyes of the Gojo clan! They're so beautiful.
Viewers began to murmur in awe the moment they saw him.
Satoru's appearance had always been striking, but now, without the glasses suppressing his aura, he looked like a living idol.
Especially those Six Eyes, as if they could see straight into people's thoughts.
In the eyes of countless fans, Satoru was preparing a devastating move to counter Satoshi.
The moment Satoshi disappeared, Satoru had already located him using his Six Eyes. He knew exactly where Satoshi had gone.
This time, he wouldn't follow Satoshi's script and pursue him. He was going to snipe him from a distance—with his new technique!
...
"Satoru, are you really going to use that move? Won't it catch Satoshi off guard?"
Shoko looked uneasy. This technique was something Satoru had forced himself to develop before the Sister School Goodwill Event.
At first, when she heard his idea, she thought it was absurd.
How could Satoru use positive energy generated from a Reverse Cursed Technique to counter the Limitless Technique?
If spell reversals were so easy, then there wouldn't be so few of them in the entire jujutsu world.
But after conducting trials with Satoru, Shoko came to realize something—Satoru truly was a genius.
He had found a unique way to infuse positive energy into his own technique. The concept flipped everything Shoko previously believed about him.
As expected, it was only because Satoshi shined so brightly that his twin, Satoru, appeared dimmer by comparison.
In truth, Satoru was also an incredibly radiant star within the world of jujutsu.
The power behind this move was so great, even Shoko began to worry for Satoshi. It was the first time she genuinely felt the threat of a technique reversal.
"Shoko, you're overthinking it. Even though this cracked version of the reversal technique is powerful, it's not enough to threaten Satoshi."
Satoru shook his head.
Even with the element of surprise, he didn't believe the attack would be enough to take Satoshi out of the fight.
Still, since Satoshi had conveniently given him a chance to attack from range, it would be a waste not to try.
The only problem was that he hadn't fully mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique yet. He couldn't generate positive energy at will. Otherwise, he would definitely make Satoshi suffer.
Suguru, who had been quietly watching, finally spoke.
"If Satoru's attack really could harm him, Satoshi might even be pleased."
Suguru brushed back his bangs and looked in the direction where Satoshi had gone.
This time, he wanted Satoshi to recognize him.
To make Satoshi completely forget the humiliation from nine years ago.
That was why, even when exorcising the curse born from Sukuna's finger, he hadn't used any of his trump cards.
With both Satoru and Suguru resolved, Shoko also understood their determination. She chose to cooperate with Satoru in activating the Limitless Technique's cracked reversal.
Thus, under the eyes of countless viewers and the watchful gaze of the live broadcast, Satoru began activating his Cracked Version of the Reversal: Limitless Technique.
The real reason Satoru was able to use the reversal without mastering the Reverse Cursed Technique was—strangely enough—connected to Satoshi.
The core of this cracked version lay in the Zanpakutō in Satoru's hand.
It was precisely because of Senbonzakura that Satoru had been able to inject the positive energy produced by Shoko's Reverse Cursed Technique into his own innate technique…
