In the previous episode, we saw Toji entering Dagon’s domain and defeating the Cursed Spirit. He went to visit Megumi afterwards. Jogo burned Nanami, Maki, and Naobito. Sukuna gains control over Itadori’s body with the help of the Hasaba twins and Jogo. While the King of Curses killed the humans, he offered the Cursed Spirit a proposal.
From the preview images, we’ll see a fight between the father and son duo. As Toji is nothing more than a puppet of carnage, his only motive is to destroy the strongest one around him. Their fight isn’t long-lived, as it ends with Toji recognizing Megumi. He also remembers selling Megumi to the Zenin Clan in a flashback scene.
Toji loses control over his body and stabs his head as he doesn’t want to endanger Megumi’s life. The episode will also show Kusakaba and Panda stumbling upon more curse users. We’ll witness the insane battle between Jogo and Sukuna. Audiences have been waiting for this scene to get animated. After acknowledging his strength, Sukuna will use his iconic fire technique to end the curse.
