Jujutsu Kaisen: Corpse Liberation Transcription

Zhou Yan, a Jujutsu Sorcerer from the Dragon Kingdom, has never believed in “righteous principles.”

One winter, when he was five, he dissected his first cursed spirit in the dry well behind his family's ancestral shrine. It was the return of a forbidden technique lost for four hundred years: “Corpse Dissection Transcription.” One hundred and thirty-seven dissections, one hundred and thirty-seven portions of the dead's pain fused into his soul. The resentment of cursed spirits, the obsessions of Curse Users, the terror of those hunted down: all of it clogged his cursed energy like black sludge.

Carrying the hopes of the Dragon Kingdom's Jujutsu Society, Zhou Yan enters Tokyo Jujutsu High as an international student. He has only one mission: follow Shoko Ieiri and learn to use the positive energy of Reverse Cursed Technique to cleanse his soul, which is on the verge of collapse.

At that time, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto stand at the pinnacle of the world, proudly declaring, “We're the strongest.”

He watches Satoru Gojo go from an arrogant boy to a teacher burdened by the shackles of being “the strongest,” learning to bow his head through countless moments of helplessness.

This is a story about “bearing the burden.”

When snow falls over Shibuya and the Shinjuku battle begins

Zhou Yan draws his sword, not for justice and not for the world.

He simply wants to dissect the monster called “fate” with his own hands and see whether this damned world is worth carrying all these dead souls on his back.

“You said we were the strongest, Gojo.”

Zhou Yan looks back, the falling snow reflected in his eyes, while the howls of one hundred and thirty-seven dead souls ring in his ears.

“But the voices on my side... they're too loud.”
