In Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 52, Juzo Kumiya fends off Gakuganji’s sound-based cursed technique, acknowledging his own limitations as a predictable mid-range fighter. Nearby, Utahime pushes toward the battlefield, coordinating with her allies through phone calls despite the ongoing barrier. She’s ambushed by a curse user but is swiftly rescued by Nobara Kugisaki and Mai Zenin just as the curtain vanishes.
Overhead, Satoru Gojo appears, calmly surveying the chaos. Impressed by Yuji Itadori’s growth, Gojo intervenes, immobilizing Juzo despite Gakuganji’s request to keep him alive for interrogation. Turning his attention to Hanami, who attempts a desperate retreat, Gojo unleashes his devastating Limitless: Hollow Purple technique — an overwhelming spatial distortion that obliterates the surrounding forest. Aoi Todo quickly restrains Yuji, preventing him from recklessly pursuing Hanami and risking injury.
Elsewhere, Mahito successfully escapes a Jujutsu High vault after completing his mission, claiming the lives of two staff members in the process. He departs the scene, concerned for Hanami’s fate as the battle’s aftermath settles.
