In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 192, the fierce battle against Naoya, now a vengeful cursed spirit, intensifies. Maki grapples with the painful truth that it was her mother, not her, who delivered the fatal blow that transformed Naoya into a curse. Naoya mocks Maki’s perceived weakness, but their fight is interrupted by Noritoshi, who expertly uses Blood Manipulation techniques, including Piercing Blood, to attack Naoya.
Despite their combined efforts, Naoya undergoes a metamorphosis into a chrysalis form, revealing his identity as a cursed womb seeking evolution. Noritoshi lands a powerful strike on the cocoon, seemingly neutralizing the threat. However, Naoya emerges in a smaller, humanoid final form—faster and more dangerous than before. With lightning speed, he quickly overpowers Noritoshi, leaving Maki in an increasingly perilous position.
