Sukuna thoughts: So the teleporting brat was saved by that technique

Blurb: Geto's party comes to assist!?

Blurb: Miguel.... and Larue!?


page 2

Image description

Miguel: I don't want to

Miguel: Against an opponent that Gojo Satoru might lose to? What is that

Miguel: Thats way beyond the level of monsters. Why do I have to fight against someone like that!

Larue: After fighting Gojo Satoru, that incredible monster will be exhausted, so I'm asking you to help finish him off, Miguel-chan

Miguel: You really think just being exhausted like some game status ailment will be enough

He doesn't say 'game', he says ポップpop which is pop culture. He means a game condition, though.

Nameplate: Sukuna

Larue: Your Japanese really got good.... ???...

Yuta: We believe that the damages from the supermassive merger with Tengen and Japanese people will not be limited to just within Japan

Miguel: Even if a giant cursed spirit comes to my home country like Godzilla

Miguel: I think its still better than fighting Sukuna

Miguel: Why do you Japanese think that cheerful black people can do anything without dying?

Miguel: For the sake of my other brothers, I have to decline this request

Yuta: That is only the Nichiyo Gekijo generation... Those over 30 years old...

日曜洋画劇場 Nichiyo Gekijo was a TV show that ran from 1966 to 2017

Larue: Miguel-chan, I've never thought of you as cheerful

Miguel: To begin with, Gojo himself should be coming to me with his head down and asking me this. You Japanese heavily value politeness, don't you?

Yuta: Should I kneel down and bow for you?

He says 土下座 dogeza, which is where you get on your knees and bow. Its the ultimate sign of deference in Japan, akin to throwing away your pride and begging like a dog.

Miguel: Oh! Getting mad!?

Miguel: Ohhhh, so scary!!

Larue: Yuta-chan

Yuta: I'm not angry

Laure: Let me talk with Miguel-chan, just the two of us

Miguel: ....

Miguel: What will you do, Larue?

Larue: The same as you. I just wanted to make Suguru-chan the king.

Image description

Miguel: Yes. I came along because of Geto

Miguel: Any debt of gratitude for letting me go at Shinjuku was wiped away by looking after Okkotsu.

Miguel: I no longer intend to deal with this country

Larue: You and I

Larue: Mimiko, Nanako, Manami, Toshihisa. We all just loved Suguru-chan.

Miguel: Shibuya... Are you telling me to go get revenge?

Miguel: Or to recover Geto's body from Kenjaku?

Larue: No

Larue: I'm saying to just come and mourn with us

Larue: Visit his grave. Eat meals. And then wave, saying you'll see him again.

Larue: Fight with all your life, and then towards the heavens, just tell him "Take care. Be well."

Miguel: ...

Miguel: Any way I think on it, it will be hell

Miguel: I have a condition

Miguel: I don't want us to bear our necks forward against an opponent who can use a domain.

"Bear our necks" as in "for execution".

Miguel: We will only join after Gojo and Okkotsu have lost, and Sukuna cannot use his domain

Larue: We? Me too?

Miguel: ...Its better to have as many friends as you can

Miguel: Hmmm....


page 6

Image description

Miguel: His domain has been sealed away. This is a good gift from the afterlife, Gojo Satoru

Larue: ??? gift, huh

The top kanji is cut off.

Larue: His Reverse Cursed Technique is pretty weak, and of his four arms, the bottom left arm is missing, and bottom right arm can't be used for combat

Larue thoughts: And that heart that is taking time to heal up.....!

Miguel: Starting to feel apologetic

Miguel: With this, we're just going to take the glory

-Larue: Oh, my

Narrator-kun: Larue's technique

Narrator-kun: "Heart Catch" 'grabs' the technique's target

心身掌握 is the kanji. 心身 is 'heart and body', and 掌握 is 'grasp'.

Narrator-kun: No matter how many times this imaginary hand is destroyed, it can be restored, but one tenth of the damage returns to Larue


page 11

Image description

Sukuna thoughts: Well, that isn't really an interesting technique. What is worthy of note is

Narrator-kun: Miguel Odoulle's technique

Narrator-kun: Hakuna Raana

祈祷の歌 Song of Exorcism. 祈祷 can also be 'prayer', Song of Prayer.

Narrator-kun: The beat engraved into his body pushed back curses

Narrator-kun: And increases the strengtening of his physical abilities

Gojo: Miguel's technique is like is without a domain, drawing out buffs and debuffs on himself and the opponent.

Gojo: Its convenient, but not really all that scary


page 12

Image description

Miguel: Hey, why do you know about my technique?

Gojo: I can mostly figure it out just by looking

Miguel: Scaaary

Gojo: Whats really frightening is that body

Gojo: 99 percent of sorcerers are people from Japan

Gojo: Miguel, I see you as dangerous just for being able to use cursed energy to strengthen your bone structure and musculature that is rare in Japan.

Miguel: You're putting labels on me. That is discrimination. There are non-athletic black people.

Miguel: I am not special because I am black. It is because I am me.

Gojo: I'm sorry

Miguel: ...Well, its fine

Yuta: Gojo-sensei, when you say dangerous, you mean to yourself?


page 13

Image description

Gojo: Yeah, I don't know if it will make sense, but Gojo: If Miguel and I fought each other without our techniques but with our physical abilities strengthened by cursed energy.

Gojo: I could win in terms of defensive movement

Gojo: But I would lose when it comes to striking

線の動き line movment, 点の動きpoint movement. If I understand this correctly, this is a concept from Chinese martial arts. Three types of movement: line, point, and surface. Point is punching and kicking - striking. Line is parrying and defense. Surface is grappling and throws.

Choso: Damn it

Sukuna: You're still here?

Narrator-kun: To activate the world severing Dismantle, that has its technique target expanded

Narrator-kun: Just like with Malevolent Shrine, it requires the handseals of Enmaten

閻魔天 Enmaten is Japanese Buddhism version of the Indian deity Yama.


page 16

Image description

Narrator-kun: However, before his transformation, to cut down Gojo Satoru with only one arm, Sukuna placed a binding vow on himself for future conditions of its activation

Narrator-kun: Currently, the world severing Dismantle's conditions are met by both the Enmaten handseals and the chanting the cursed incantation.

Narrator-kun: And then a hand geseture was be used to set its direction.

Sukuna thoughts: Even though hit by the Black Flash---

Yuji thoughts: Maki-senpai!!

Yuji thoughts: She's came!!


page 18

Image description

Yuji thoughts: The hand seals can't be completed with only his upper and lower right arms!!

Yuji thoughts: His Reverse Curse Technique is still not functioning!!

Yuji thoughts: We can win!! We made it here!!

He says 繋いだ tsunaida, which is not "we made it here" but "it connected"

Yuji thoughts: All of us!! To here!!

BLACK FLASH

Narrator-kun: Gojo Satoru recovered his lost output of his Reverse Cursed Technique after his second Black Flash

Narrator-kun: The King of Curse has----
