In Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 55, the mysterious string of deaths continues. In June, Taichi Kanada from Morioka reports his apartment’s auto-lock doors stuck open, though no one else notices any issue. While still on the phone with management, a cursed spirit appears behind him and kills him. In August and September, similar unexplained deaths occur in Yokohama and Nagoya, claiming victims Osamu Shimada and Hiroshi Yamato under identical circumstances.
At Jujutsu High, Akari Nitta gathers the three first-year students and reveals a chilling detail — all the victims once attended the same junior high school, hinting at a long-forgotten curse now claiming its victims years later. Akari takes them to a recent funeral, where they confirm the same pattern: each victim died at their front entrance with a malfunctioning door, reinforcing the theory of a dormant curse resurfacing to complete its work.
