Changes have been made , changes to the timeline. During the Shibuya incident Kenjaku activated a binding vow taking advantage of Tengen's barriers throughout Japan. The technique remotely activated was not idle transfiguration as Yuki suspected, as said techniques appears to have displaced and swapped curse techniques among enemies and allies alike, among curses, sorcerers and even non sorcerers.
We have to do something about this, I propose we skip reaching out to the higher ups and take matters into our own hands. Let's go see Tengen. Megumi, Yuji , Maki, Yuki, Panda and Choso all say yes in agreement. Yuta concludes the 'talk' and they head out.
"Before heading out let's get things straight", Yuji said."How do we know who has who's techniques. Well I clearly now have a curse technique and it appears to be" — "we could just spar, test each other out",Yuta interrupted. "You would like that wouldn't you", Maki added with a smile on her face. "I would like to wrap things up with my contacts before we proceed", Yuki added leaving their little meeting.
The scene changes to a junior high school field just outside of Kyoto." So how do you propose we do this", megumi asked. "The most efficient way would simply be just stepping up and having the rest of us press said person and we just see what happens," Maki replied. "I'll go first" Yuji replied excitedly as he recalls a scene where Gojo told him jujutsu sorcery is 80% talent and 20% hardwork. He finally now has more room to grow, especially with the possibility of now possessing a curse technique.
"We probably have to us cursed tools as we have no idea what we'll be throwing at Yuji in the first place," Megumi said begrudgingly. "Nonsense why use tools when we can use our techniques," everyone heard , right before Yuji gets fired by piercing blood. Everyone turns to see Choso had fired it, proving he was somehow immune to Kenjaku's remote technique binding vow. Yuta theorizes it's because Choso was probably a curse hybrid while Megumi cuts off that train of thought saying it's most likely due to his paternal connection to the curse user. "You guys didn't even care to see what happened after Choso attacked," Yuji said, "of course I did" Choso replied. The others seemed not to be listening as they slowing began contemplating just what Kenjaku must have in mind with this "Culling Game" thing.
"I figured out my technique so how's things going over here," Yuki said while entering the field. "Not much progress apparently ", Megumi replied. " Excuse you, I think I have that one guy's inversion technique," Yuji adds. "What?" Maki asked. Yuji explained how he and Megumi fought a curse user with the ability to inverse the damage received, stronger attacks yield less damage and weaker attacks have more striking power, while clearly stating the presence of a limit.

"Wow that's pretty nice," Maki said sarcastically, "now you no longer have to just punch and kick like I had to" . She added." We could always see what techniques you now house" senpai, Yuta said. Maki looks down anxiously while shouting out loud, "I bet its something super OP".
_"Depending on the conditions for Kenjaku's binding vow senpai might have been exempted from the technique swap after all unlike itadori she had little to no curse energy , a heavenly restriction, I don't want her getting her hopes up after all....._, "Megumi thought.
Maki removes her glasses and they head out to a storage facility at Kyoto jujutsu high, they explain things to Noritoshi and the others at Kyoto. They release a semi grade 2 curse hoping to exorcise it in the event Maki cannot. That's when Maki bursts out in tears and runs out the room. Yuta follows behind hurriedly. With a look of shock on his face Megumi mutters, "of course it wouldn't apply to a restriction user like Maki. Heavenly restriction is a self imposed binding vow, in the world of jujutsu those types reign above all others." " I can't imagine how she must feel right now," Yuji added.
In the next room, Yuta struggles to make out the words before: "Maki you're one of the strongest people I know, you don't need a curse technique, you're already pretty badass as you are". Yuta bursts out while shedding tears. Silence attempts to fill the room , no decipherible audible sound is heard, nothing but two friends sharing a moment.
"Funny how,you're the one crying right now, was that your idea of a pep talk" Maki finally replied cleaning her tears. "I have known for the longest time, infact I kinda think it would have cheapen my promise to the old man, after all I am the the one who's going to become a grade one sorcerer capable of leading the clan without a curse technique ". "Haha", Yuta responded seemingly smiling. "_I'll get that man , the curse user abusing the body of sensei's best friend and now putting Maki in this situation"._ "Yuta thought to himself". Let's go rejoin the others, He said.
Maki and Yuta rejoin the others at the storage facility. Yuki tells them her current curse technique appears to have something to do with ..., "wait isn't that Garuda your shikigami behind you" Yuta interrupted . "No if only you'd let me finish boy, "Yuki responded." I seem to be able to construct anything I have precise understanding of it's composition, any ideas?" Yuki added. Silence conquers the room unlike last time. Yuki doesn't get it, she makes one of her usual oblivious expressions. While Yuki is trying to get everyone's attention, she notices everyone's gaze had been turned to Maki for a while. "Don't make this like one of those things, this changes nothing, I think Mai would say the same ", Maki said while ending the silence. Yuji smirks, Yuta let out a sigh of relief, Megumi chuckles and Yuki looks visible annoyed she isn't following the conversation.

The scene shifts to outside Kyoto high where the Kyoto students decide they're also going to act independently. "We can't just let this Noritoshi kamo come in and do whatever he likes," Noritoshi said. "Well the only way we'll be doing literally anything of significance is if anyone of us got miraculously favoured with some special or overpowered Curse technique," Miwa added." I can still use my broom to fly but it seems the wind effect is now gone," Momo joined in. "It's not like it's going to change anything, overpowered technique or not , our proficiency with jujutsu will still be limited like always after all we are us", Mai said looking down with a visibly sad look. "What do you mean by we being,well you know us," Momo asked with a pretty worked up look. "Miwa is right but jujutsu sorcery is dependent on mindset, the first key to not being quote on quote 'us' is changing said mindset", kamo said trying to calm things down.
Suddenly out of nowhere a snake like shikigami appears behind Miwa .
