Zen'in Mirai—head of the Zen'in clan, one of the Three Great Families.
After joining Jujutsu High, he once used a Domain technique to instantly kill a special-grade cursed spirit that wielded fire.
During the Sister School Exchange Event, his strength rivaled that of Satoru Gojo… perhaps even surpassed it.
In the Shibuya Incident, he stood as the mastermind who sealed Gojo head-on.
This was the information Yuki Tsukumo already knew before entering the battlefield.
As for what happened inside Mirai's Domain—and the effects on those who were caught in it—
During their brief exchange earlier, Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro, who had personally experienced it, shared everything they knew.
There was also what White Zetsu had said at Jujutsu High—that Mirai might possess two Domains.
But after White Zetsu summoned the ancient tree that Maki had seen in her childhood,
that chilling speculation had been temporarily set aside.
The initial plan:
Best-case scenario—use Todo's Boogie Woogie to land a surprise attack head-on.
If that failed, Yuki would close the distance and deploy her Domain.
Even if it meant half her body being blown apart, she would force Mirai's Domain shell to shatter along with her own.
Yuki could not perform the delicate control required to heal technique burnout with Reverse Cursed Technique.
So after both Domains collapsed—
Inumaki would have to act within that fleeting window when Mirai's technique was burned out and he couldn't turn intangible—
Using Cursed Speech to stop Zen'in Mirai from immediately restoring his technique.
Then came Todo.
In that fraction of a second when Inumaki immobilized Mirai,
Todo would swap him directly next to Yuki!
Even if she had already self-destructed halfway, the shikigami she had yet to use—
Hōrin—would deliver the final killing blow!
The plan was flawless.
The only assumption—
that Mirai possessed no more power than what they had seen.
"Domain Expansion—Star Rage Arena!"
If Mirai's Final Scene: Glazed Moon was a sure-kill technique targeting the mind—
Then Yuki Tsukumo's Star Rage Arena was a desperate ultimate art designed to annihilate the body!
An immense surge of cursed energy roared!
An ink-black Domain shell enveloped Mirai—and all the Jujutsu High sorcerers within it!
"A boxing ring?!"
Supporting his severed arm, Panda stared upward in shock as Kusakabe muttered aloud.
A square boxing ring, roughly six square meters in size!
Crimson ropes surrounded the ring, preventing fighters from escaping!
Below the ring, countless human silhouettes formed from cursed energy packed tightly together—
shouting themselves hoarse, their excitement reaching a fever pitch!
All the Jujutsu High sorcerers appeared seated in the audience area below the ring—
reduced to mere spectators among the dense crowd.
Inside the ring stood the two fighters:
Zen'in Mirai… and Yuki Tsukumo, now wearing boxing gloves.
In his previous life, Yuki had died at Kenjaku's hands without ever deploying her Domain.
Mirai did not immediately expand his own Domain.
Instead, he observed the environment with interest—
Or rather, the rules of the Domain.
Thud. Thud.
Yuki knocked her fists together, speaking in a relaxed tone:
"I won't bother explaining the sure-hit effect."
"Within the ring, every punch I throw with imaginary mass will increase exponentially!"
"Even with Reverse Cursed Technique, you'll only last up to my third round at best!"
For Yuki Tsukumo, as long as her technique-enhanced punches landed, they were inherently fatal.
Mirai gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
"A mass-doubling effect with no theoretical limit… enough to potentially shatter space—even time."
"Indeed. Even I would die if I took several hits head-on."
He raised his eyes toward Yuki, expression calm:
"That is—assuming your punches can actually touch me."
Golden hair swaying, Yuki locked eyes with him, fingers tightening.
"How arrogant."
"When I say exponential increase—
I don't just mean power… I mean quantity as well!"
With the boost from revealing her technique—
Yuki lunged forward and threw a punch!
One round begins—hundreds of punches follow!
The four red ropes of the ring bulged outward, transforming into phantom boxing gloves!
Carrying terrifying cursed energy, they struck from all directions toward Mirai at the center!
The crowd's roar surged to its peak!
The rising soundwaves themselves transformed into countless punching blows!
The trembling Domain shell—
the overwhelming flood of red fists—
Mirai smiled faintly.
His ten fingers interlocked, backs of his hands pressed together, lowering toward the ground.
Not good!!!
In the audience—
Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara shot to their feet!
Their pupils trembled violently, a chill rushing straight to their heads!
That… wasn't the hand sign Mirai used against the volcano curse!
Startled by their reaction, Kusakabe and Utahime hadn't even had time to ask—
When an overwhelming wave of cursed energy spread downward from the ring!
A pitch-black darkness, deeper than night itself, instantly engulfed Yuki's entire Domain!
"Domain Expansion—Shadow Execution: Grand Mausoleum."
A boundless divine space.
"White Zetsu… what exactly is Mirai planning?"
Sitting beneath the Divine Tree, Mai hugged her knees, her expression complicated.
Earlier, when Mirai absorbed cursed energy from within the Shibuya barrier and attacked using the tree's roots—
Mai could still vaguely see the outside battle through the Kamui dimension.
But after Yuki's Domain expanded, her view was completely cut off.
Her emotions were torn apart.
On one side were her comrades who had fought alongside her through life and death.
On the other… her brother, whom she had always feared.
After coming back to life, Mai had thought about it—
If she hadn't taken those steps back then…
if she hadn't closed her eyes and walked toward Mirai—
Would she have… never woken up again?
"Well, that Mirai brat isn't letting you go back to Jujutsu High anyway."
"So telling you a bit doesn't really matter."
White Zetsu lay flat on the ground, a Cuban cigar in his mouth, hands behind his head, one leg lazily swinging.
"That idiot 'Brain' is planning to set up ten massive barriers across all of Japan."
"To summon sorcerers from the past… along with countless bizarre cursed spirits."
He turned his head toward Mai with a grin.
"What do you think all that amounts to—for Mirai?"
Mai froze.
This was the first time she had heard of "Fake Geto's" plan.
Recalling the terrifying sights she had witnessed over the years in the Zen'in clan's cursed vault—
She spoke slowly:
"…Absorption. Nourishment?"
Zen'in sorcerers captured cursed spirits outside.
Mirai consumed them within the vault.
If what White Zetsu said was true—
Those ten massive barriers would be like… an endlessly supplied farm.
"That's one use, sure. The simplest one."
"But cursed energy? With the real 'Zetsu' backing him, Mirai doesn't actually lack it at all."
White Zetsu smacked his lips, shaking his leg.
"As for those old relics from a thousand years ago…"
"Even if you drained them dry, it wouldn't change much."
His dismissive tone made it clear—he didn't think much of the so-called ancient powerhouses Kenjaku boasted about.
Mai stared blankly.
"Then… why would Mirai help that 'Brain' guy?"
White Zetsu grinned.
"The so-called 'strongest from a thousand years ago'—including your Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna…"
"Those are just appetizers."
"When you sorcerers exorcise curses, why do you set up barriers?"
Mai answered without hesitation:
"To suppress the birth of cursed spirits… so ordinary people can't see those invisible threats."
"To keep the public calm…"
She recited the principles taught at Jujutsu High.
White Zetsu's voice turned light—
"What if everyone in Japan… could see curses?"
"…Or maybe not just Japan."
His casual words froze Mai in place.
After a long silence—
"…The world…"
"would end."
