[The scene continues.]
["Pfft!"]
[Kechizu, who had suddenly appeared behind them, didn't hesitate—he immediately spat a mouthful of blood toward the two.]
["Bang!"]
[The instant Kechizu appeared, Yuji had already sensed him.]
[But with no time to react properly, Yuji instinctively chose to shove Nobara away and take the full brunt of the corrosive blood himself.]
["Ssssss!!!"]
[Wherever the blood splashed onto Yuji's body, white smoke instantly rose as his flesh began to corrode.]
["Did he take the shortest route and cut us off…?!"]
["Yuji!!!"]
[Seeing him injured, Nobara turned around in alarm.]
["Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"]
[Before she could act, three familiar blood-red branches shot in from her other side and pierced into her left arm.]
[Her sleeve was instantly eaten away, and her once fair skin was stained red by the blood.]
["Nobara!!!"]
[Yuji's gaze locked onto her injured arm, tense with worry.]
[He had already seen how corrosive their blood was.]
["No need to worry. My younger brother's blood doesn't have the same properties as mine."]
[Eso's voice suddenly came from behind.]
[Yuji and Nobara immediately took a back-to-back stance, alert.]
["Even my blood won't kill you unless it covers your whole body."]
["…Though you'll suffer unbearable pain."]
[Eso explained leisurely.]
["Now… comes the real highlight of our technique."]
[He raised a single pinky finger.]
["Decaying Corrosion Technique: Rot!"]
[As the technique activated, black, clustered rose-like patterns spread across the exposed skin of both Yuji and Nobara.]
["What?!!"]
"Ah… looks like those two got hit~"
Outside the screen, Satoru Gojo smirked mischievously.
"If they're my classmates in the future, then technically they're your students too. Is it really okay for you to be laughing like that?"
Megumi Fushiguro glanced at him and complained.
"Well~ they're not yet, are they~
I'm just curious how these two will get out of this."
Gojo looked up at the screen with interest.
[The scene continues.]
["Mucous membranes, wounds—if you come into contact with the blood of either of us brothers, once one of us activates the technique, the corrosion begins from the point of contact."]
[Eso first looked at Yuji:]
["That boy can last at most fifteen minutes."]
[Then at Nobara:]
["As for you, miss… ten minutes is your limit."]
["By morning, you'll be nothing but bones."]
[Yuji frowned and thought: If it's a technique, then it can be undone.]
[He looked directly at Eso.]
["So it's poison after all?"]
[Eso replied calmly:]
["From the result, yes—it resembles poison. But our technique is simply 'decomposition.'"]
[After all, they were just stalling. If talking could drag things out, it would save them effort.]
[And besides…]
["With the technique already active, they'll die even faster."]
[Eso narrowed his eyes, staring at them maliciously.]
["So… what will you do?"]
["If it's too painful, I can kill you right now… hmm?"]
["Heh… hehehe…"]
[Before he could finish, Nobara's clear laughter interrupted him.]
[Eso froze, confused, unable to tell what she was about to do.]
["Hehe… a technique that guarantees victory as long as it hits—pretty strong!"]
["But… unfortunately…"]
["It's completely incompatible with me!!!!"]
[As she spoke, Nobara Kugisaki pulled out a long nail from behind her and infused it with blue cursed energy.]
["Straw Doll Technique: Resonance!!!"]
[Before anyone could react—]
[Nobara, smiling, drove the nail straight into her own cursed left wrist.]
"WHAT THE HELL!!!"
"Hissssss…"
"That must hurt!!!"
Across countless worlds, viewers instinctively clutched their own wrists, gasping.
Even though it was just a video, the pain felt real.
[The scene continues.]
[The moment the nail pierced her wrist, Kechizu and Eso's hearts jolted violently.]
[Then—an overwhelming wave of pain struck them both.]
["Drip… drip… drip…"]
[Blood dripped steadily from Nobara's wrist onto the asphalt.]
[Half her face hidden beneath her bangs, she stared at them with a single exposed eye, lips curling into a wicked smile.]
["Let's see who can endure more…"]
["Aren't you afraid of pain?"]
["Then hurry up and cry and release the technique!"]
[Both brothers froze in place, drenched in cold sweat from the unbearable agony, yet unable to advance recklessly.]
["A technique that reflects curses back…"]
["A contest of endurance…"]
["If we don't release it… will it just keep going?"]
"Nobara…"
"She's terrifying…"
Several ordinary students shuddered at her eerie smile.
At Kyoto Jujutsu High, Utahime Iori sighed.
"Just as I thought… anyone trained by that guy won't turn out normal…"
At the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Sanemi Shinazugawa grinned with approval.
"Ruthless to enemies—and to herself. I like her style!
If she were in our world, I'd definitely make her my Tsuguko!"
At Marineford, Monkey D. Garp laughed.
"For some reason… this girl reminds me of Shiki."
"I was thinking the same," Sengoku agreed.
"Good thing she's not from our world," added Tsuru calmly.
"Otherwise… the seas might gain another terrifying pirate with the bearing of an emperor."
