In this chapter, a chaotic battle of overlapping Domain Expansions unfolds as Yuta Okkotsu, Ryu Ishigori, and Takako Uro simultaneously activate their domains. However, the unstable collision of their barriers causes them to collapse prematurely — made worse by the unexpected reappearance of Kurourushi, the resurrected cursed spirit.
Seizing the opportunity amid the chaos, Ryu quickly incapacitates both Uro and Kurourushi. He delivers a decisive blow to Uro that removes her ability to regenerate, while Yuta exorcises Kurourushi once and for all. To ensure Uro can’t recover, Rika devours Uro’s severed arm, cutting off any chance of her returning to the fight.
With the battlefield cleared, the stage is finally set for the long-awaited one-on-one clash between Yuta and Ryu. Fueled by excitement at the prospect of a true decisive fight, Ryu charges up his cursed energy, while Yuta stands ready with Rika by his side for their ultimate showdown.
