In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 186, supercharged by a massive surge of cursed energy, Hakari launches a fierce rescue mission to save Panda from Kashimo. Demonstrating overwhelming strength, Hakari delivers a powerful right hook that disarms Kashimo and sends him crashing through freight containers. He follows up with a flying dropkick narrowly avoided by Kashimo, though it dents another container. Despite Hakari’s immense physical power, Kashimo’s electrified cursed energy barely falters, impressing him. The two exchange introductions, with Hakari realizing Kashimo is the elusive player with one hundred points he has been hunting.
During their intense battle, Kashimo exploits Hakari’s momentary distraction caused by the cursed energy influx, landing several blows. Hakari swiftly counters with a right hook and flying knee, forcing Kashimo to acknowledge his strength. Kashimo then unleashes a devastating lightning attack that severs Hakari’s arm, but Hakari astonishingly retaliates with a kick and punch from the same arm, leading Kashimo to suspect the use of reverse cursed technique.
Hakari reveals he doesn’t rely on reverse cursed technique; instead, his unlimited cursed energy from hitting the jackpot automatically heals him, making him virtually unkillable for four minutes and eleven seconds. During this time, he can repeatedly use his domain expansion as long as he keeps hitting the jackpot. As the round ends, Kashimo notices the music stops and Hakari’s cursed energy fades, but Hakari manages to activate his domain expansion once more, ready to keep fighting.
