A blood-red clock hangs upside down over Tokyo, while the cursed markings beneath Yuji Itadori’s skin boil into mechanical gears.
Three months after swallowing Sukuna's Finger, a string of disappearances at a suburban hospital tears open a shocking conspiracy. The pollen of the Special Grade Cursed Spirit "Higanbana" is somehow mixed with Satoru Gojo’s Six Eyes genes. When a glint of a scalpel appears in Nobara Kugisaki’s childhood visions, and Megumi Fushiguro’s shikigami reveal laboratory identification numbers, they discover that their very existence is part of a cursed experiment spanning a thousand years.
The gears of the Mechanical Buddha grind through time and space. Kenjaku’s ghost reaches out from the Heian era, and Sukuna’s left arm bone awakens inside Yuji’s eye socket. At this moment, Shibuya’s subway crystallizes in a rain of blood, Tengen’s Tombs of the Star Corridor crawl with quantum curses, and behind the lock on Nobara’s collarbone, twelve doors through time and space are opening all at once.
“You were never a vessel,” Satoru Gojo’s apparition whispers amid fragments of a Domain, “but the one who breaks... every cycle of causality.”
