Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: The Final Boogie Woogie

He likes tall women with big butts.

His idol is Takada-chan.

His best friend is Yuji Itadori.

He cares about his personal hygiene—bathes often, shaves regularly.

He has no disliked foods.

His source of stress? Boredom.

With a powerfully built physique and a preference for close-quarters combat,

he may look like a brute—

But in reality, he's highly intelligent.

From a young age, Aoi Todo feared no hardship and charged forward without hesitation.

He despised scheming and preferred to "talk" with his fists.

Before even reaching the third grade of elementary school, he had already beaten up a high schooler who bullied him—with his bare hands.

After a chance encounter with Yuki Tsukumo, he began training under her.

The scar running from his forehead down past his left eye—

was the result of her brutal training.

During the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons initiated by Suguru Geto last year,

Todo achieved the remarkable feat of defeating five Grade 1 curses and one Special Grade—alone.

Within the domain—

A brief, one-second silence fell.

As if nothing had happened.

And yet, everything had.

Yuki Tsukumo—who should have died—

stared upward at where she had been standing moments ago, her pupils trembling violently.

She had been swapped into the range of Kusakabe's Simple Domain.

Her battered body slowly began to recover.

The guaranteed-hit effects had canceled out.

Yuki… survived.

But—

"TODO!!!"

Yuji Itadori and the Kyoto students roared in fury, eyes bulging, tears streaming uncontrollably!

A blood-red blade had pierced straight through Aoi Todo's heart.

Another severed his left arm.

A third pierced through his abdomen, blood erupting like a fountain.

Facing his teacher—

The one who led him onto the path of being a jujutsu sorcerer… a life no longer boring—

Yuki Tsukumo—

Todo made his decision without the slightest hesitation.

He traded his life… for hers.

Maki's Dragon Bone, Kusakabe's blade, Panda's gauntlets—

All cursed tools clashed endlessly against the flood of shikigami.

But their cursed energy was already destabilized from prolonged contact within Mirai's domain.

Todo could only swap either himself—or another sorcerer in the group—with Yuki.

With his intelligence, he knew clearly—

The most rational choice would've been to swap Miwa, the weakest among them.

Even if he couldn't bear sacrificing a classmate, he should have used Nobara Kugisaki from Tokyo Jujutsu High.

He had even considered gambling with Yuji—

Betting that Mirai might stop in time.

But within a domain's guaranteed-hit effect—

Yuji, who couldn't deploy a Simple Domain,

and who couldn't use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal—

Would die instantly if delayed by even a fraction of a second.

Therefore—

A true man like Todo chose to take the fatal blow himself.

The necklace around his neck fell loose, revealing two photos inside.

One—his idol Takada-chan blowing a kiss.

The other—Yuji Itadori's smiling face.

Blood dripped continuously from the corner of his mouth.

Todo didn't turn back.

He stared blankly at his remaining right arm.

"This… is the final Boogie Woogie."

"RUN!!!"

His dying shout—

Was his final message to them all.

Slash!!!

The three emotionless Mahoraga did not pause—

They cut him into pieces.

Severed limbs scattered across the ground, sinking into the shadows.

With his brain, heart, and abdomen all destroyed—

There was no possibility of healing with Reverse Cursed Technique.

Yuji—who had become a sorcerer only recently, and whose emotions were the most raw—

Stared blankly at where Todo had fallen.

The light in his eyes… nearly extinguished.

"Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden!"

"Yuji, move!"

The one-armed Panda grabbed the stunned Yuji and fled at full speed!

Riding on Momo Nishimiya's broom—

They resisted the guaranteed-hit effects of the shikigami within the domain.

Flying low, Megumi activated his incomplete domain to guard their rear.

The previously dying Yuki rushed ahead of everyone, her face filled with grief and fury.

Grief—for her student, Todo.

Fury—at her own helplessness.

"Garuda: Phoenix Ring!"

Because it was an open domain without a barrier—

They quickly reached the edge of the blood-colored roots.

The pre-enhanced shikigami Garuda smashed open a massive passage through the divine tree roots surrounding them.

Drenched in sweat and blood, Megumi nervously glanced back—

At the figure seated high upon the throne.

Even neutralizing the guaranteed-hit effect meant little.

They were still within the range of the open domain.

Megumi knew clearly—

Zen'in Mirai could appear beside them at any moment…

And take their heads with a single motion.

Whether they escaped or not—

Depended entirely on his mood.

Seated upon the throne, Mirai watched their escape expressionlessly.

A violet glow shimmered—

The Rinnegan observed the subtle transformation of Yuji's soul through his bloodied body.

"…You've grown well."

A faint smile appeared on Mirai's lips.

Through Todo's death—

Yuji had grown once more.

In a fairly good mood—

Mirai waved his hand and dismissed the domain, allowing them to leave.

Some of them… couldn't die just yet.

As for the rest—

Sooner or later, it made no difference.

Stepping over a colony of ants—

While ensuring a few survived—

Required delicate control.

"Hey, you brat Mirai!"

The battle ended.

Having just emerged from Kamui space, White Zetsu immediately started rambling.

"If it were me fighting that woman, I'd have wrapped it up in three seconds!"

He proudly gestured with two fingers.

"And another thing! You didn't see how badly I roasted that brain guy earlier—why'd you call me back so soon?!"

"Give me one more minute and I swear I'd have cursed him into coughing blood!"

"I, the great—"

"Alright, alright."

Mirai waved him off, looking annoyed.

This was White Zetsu—

If it were anyone else, they'd already be shredded into pieces.

"Just get lost."

Mirai spoke impatiently.

"You've got two days to handle your errands. After that, there's another task waiting."

"OK!"

White Zetsu had been looking forward to those "errands" for a long time.

From the juvenile detention center incident to the Tokyo Exchange Event—

He had plenty to "discuss" with the higher-ups of the Jujutsu Headquarters.

Back when Mirai attacked Jujutsu High to force Yuta Okkotsu to return to the Tombs of the Star Corridor—

White Zetsu had begged for several minutes before Mirai agreed to spare those old men.

Now—

They were no longer necessary.

Lighting a cigar smugly, White Zetsu vanished into the barrier.

He was eager—

To see their faces.

To watch them beg.

Mirai shook his head speechlessly.

With the Culling Game about to begin and ten barriers yet to be set—

The "brain" would need another day or two.

Letting White Zetsu roam free for now wasn't a bad idea.

At least it would keep him from being noisy nearby.

Turning his head—

He saw Mai standing beside him, head lowered, silent and restrained.

A faint purple glint flashed in his eyes.

The unique bond between the two sisters' souls—

Had indeed been severed.

And Mai's cursed energy had risen significantly.

"Let's go. You're coming back to the Shinjuku base with me."

Mirai spoke calmly—

Then turned and left this shattered Shibuya behind.

And thus—

[Academy Arc] and [Shibuya Arc] conclude.
