In Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 57, Yuji Itadori faces off against a powerful curse known as a Death Painting Womb. The curse spits acidic blood, but Yuji dodges the attack and counters with a strong kick, surprising his opponent. As Yuji analyzes the blood’s properties, the curse grows wary of his impressive strength.
Meanwhile, Nobara Kugisaki uses her Straw Doll Technique: Resonance to target spots where another curse repeatedly appears and vanishes. Several areas explode on impact, though the curse cleverly evades by shifting locations rapidly. Nobara likens the fight to a whack-a-mole game, and Megumi Fushiguro advises her to keep focusing on the exit points.
Megumi observes that although the curse’s ability covers a wide area, its main body can’t effectively retaliate. Initially expecting a stronger opponent due to the number of victims claimed, Megumi deduces that the curse is weakened by the barrier’s effects — and that the one Yuji is battling might actually be the more dangerous threat.
