Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 39: Fluctuations, Part 2

Season 2· canon

Nanami, Maki, and Naobito are driven to the edge after the Special-Grade Cursed Spirit, Dagon, activates his Domain Expansion, Horizon of the Captivating Skandha. Fushiguro gives them a glimpse of a way to escape death, then Toji intrudes upon the fight.

Full recap

Nanami, Maki, and Naobito are trapped within Dagon's Domain Expansion "Horizon of Captivation," a special-grade cursed spirit's powerful technique that has them cornered. Megumi attempts to help them escape by creating an opening in the domain's barrier, with Mumi revealing to Nanami that the strategy is to break through rather than engage in a direct domain battle, betting that Dagon cannot cast domain expansion twice in one day.

Before they can capitalize on this opportunity, **Toji suddenly crashes through the escape route**, completely shifting the battle's momentum. He seizes Maki's three-sectioned staff (Playful Cloud) with overwhelming physical strength, shocking her as she realizes he possesses no cursed energy yet overpowers her in pure strength alone. Toji then turns his full attention to Dagon, unleashing a brutal barrage of attacks that quickly overwhelms the special-grade curse. Dagon underestimates his opponent, but Toji demonstrates masterful use of the Playful Cloud, systematically dismantling the curse with ferocious combat prowess. The sorcerers watch in stunned silence as Toji dominates the fight, serving as a stark reminder of the power gap between him and even the strongest jujutsu sorcerers present.

As Toji sends himself and Megumi flying out of Shibuya station following the battle, **Jogo arrives on the scene**. The special-grade curse immediately engulfs the remaining heroes—Nanami, Maki, and Naobito—in flames with casual brutality, leaving their fates uncertain. Jogo then senses another powerful presence and departs to investigate, discovering that a finger has been released nearby.

Jogo finds **Yuji, who has been forced to consume ten of Sukuna's fingers** by Jogo himself in a grotesque act of violation. With Sukuna now awakened within Yuji's body, the curse makes a chilling proposition: if Jogo can land a single blow on Sukuna, the King of Curses will aid him and kill everyone except one person. Sukuna accepts this challenge, his presence radiating an unfathomable and menacing power as the episode concludes with the promise of destruction to come.
