02x13 - Red Scale

[bunniefuu]

Yuji: There are so many of them!

Yuji: I can't just ignore them!

Yuji: But I don't have time to rescue everyone!

Yuji: What do I do?!

Yuji: The station... and Gojo-sensei... are just up ahead, too!

Toge: Roe!

Yuji: That vocabulary!

Yuji: Inumaki-senpai!

Toge: Salmon!

Yuji: Please help!

Toge: Salmon, salmon.

Screen: Episode Red Scale

Toge: Don't move!

Screen: Shibuya Incident

Shibuya Station, Interior

Sign: It Is Dangerous

Floor: Tickets

Pillar: a*t*matic

Choso: Yuji Itadori!

Choso: My brothers' k*ller!

Choso: Convergence!

Screen: Convergence

Narration: Blood Manipulation: "Convergence"

Narration: is a skill that involves applying pressure to blood in order to compress it to its limit.

Narration: The blood compressed with Convergence

Narration: is then released through a single point.

Narration: The initial speed of this blood enhanced with cursed energy

Narration: well exceeds the speed of sound when released.

Narration: This secret art of Blood Manipulation is called...

Screen: Piercing Blood

Choso: Piercing Blood.

Choso: A double impact?

Choso: What an odd technique.

Choso: There's something

Choso: I have to ask you.

Choso: Did my little brothers leave behind any last words?

Yuji: Brothers?

Choso: Tsk.

Choso: I'm talking about the ones you two k*lled.

Yuji: No, not really.

Yuji: But...

Yuji: They were crying.

Choso: Eso!

Choso: Kechizu!

Choso: Watch over me...

Choso: This is your older brother!

Yuji: sh*t...

Yuji: He got distance on me again.

Yuji: That beam of blood is too fast.

Yuji: I have a / chance to dodge.

Yuji: If my intuition is off and it hits my head...

Yuji: I'm dead.

Yuji: Then I should at least...

Yuji: determine when he fires it myself.

Choso: He's luring me out.

Choso: Fine, then.

Yuji: I knew it!

Yuji: That att*ck is only fast when first fired.

Yuji: Once I avoid it, I can lay on the pressure!

Choso: Supernova.

Screen: Supernova

Choso: Tsk.

Choso: I got hasty.

Choso: It wasn't compressed enough.

Yuji: sh*t! This bastard...

Yuji: is strong!

Mechamaru: Hey!

Mechamaru: Hey! What's the situation?

Yuji: Mechamaru! What have you been—

Mechamaru: Conserving energy.

Mechamaru: There's still a lot I need to do.

Mechamaru: Choso! Blood Manipulation, huh?

Yuji: You know about it?

Mechamaru: He's using the same cursed technique as Kamo.

Yuji: That thin-eyed third year, huh?

Yuji: Which means...

Mechamaru: I don't know its weakness.

Yuji: Geh!

Mechamaru: Blood Manipulation is treasured as one of the Kamo clan's hereditary techniques.

Mechamaru: The reason for that is "Convergence," which compresses blood with high pressure,

Mechamaru: plus "Piercing Blood" and "Blood Blade," which are derived from that,

Mechamaru: giving it a well-balanced response in close, mid, and long range.

Mechamaru: Since Choso won't bleed out, he has no openings.

Yuji: Thanks for the critical infor—

Mechamaru: I don't know its weakness, but I do have an idea.

Yuji: What is it?

Mechamaru: First, flee into the restroom.

Yuji: The restroom?! Why?!

Mechamaru: I'll explain later.

Mechamaru: There's maybe a % chance this works.

Mechamaru: Sorry, but if this fails, brace yourself for death.

Yuji: That's cruel.

Mechamaru: At this rate, you'll just get worn down until you're k*lled anyway.

Choso: Idiot.

Choso: That only leads to the restrooms and the elevator.

Choso: No matter which you run to, you're trapped like a rat.

Choso: What's that sound?

Choso: This guy has beaten my brothers before.

Choso: Those two wouldn't lose to some idiot.

Choso: There's also that second voice that suddenly appeared.

Choso: It would be right to assume he's planning something.

Choso: Don't let your guard down.

Mechamaru: What's wrong?

Mechamaru: Not coming?

Mechamaru: You're a coward, huh?

Mechamaru: Just like your brothers.

Choso: I'll k*ll you!

Eyecatch: JUJUTSU KAISEN

Eyecatch: JUJUTSU KAISEN

Mechamaru: You really are just like them.

Mechamaru: All three of you care so much for each other.

Mechamaru: It makes you easy to manipulate.

Mechamaru: It's all gone well so far.

Mechamaru: Now it's up to chance,

Mechamaru: Yuji Itadori!

Choso: Too bad.

Choso: That was your last chance.

Choso: You're the one with nowhere to run now!

Choso: Convergence dissolved?!

Narration: In order to enhance the effects of the Blood Manipulation Technique,

Narration: users constantly have the coagulation properties of their blood turned off.

Narration: As a result, Choso's blood dissolves in water more easily than that of others.

Narration: On top of that, once exposed to water,

Narration: the osmotic pressure causes the red blood cells to expand and rupture their cell walls.

Narration: This left him unable to control the blood cells that comprise % of his blood,

Narration: breaking his Convergence.

Narration: Mechamaru's aim was on the mark.

Narration: In that situation,

Narration: it was impossible for Choso to use Blood Manipulation outside his own body.

Choso: Flowing Red Scale - Stack.

Narration: Choso lacked combat experience,

Narration: so he couldn't comprehend what was happening to him.

Narration: He just coldly accepted the new reality

Narration: and conducted his blood manipulation within his body.

Yuji: I don't understand the reasoning.

Yuji: There wasn't any opportunity for me to ask.

Yuji: But I do know one thing.

Yuji: I've dragged him into my turf!

Yuji: I can win!

Narration: Choso had been keeping a clot of blood from being exposed and dissolving

Narration: in the water as he strengthened said clot with cursed energy

Narration: and compressed the coagulated lump to its limit,

Narration: so the moment Yuji Itadori was convinced of victory,

Narration: it pierced his liver.

Choso: Blood Manipulation: Blood Meteorite.

Yuji: I screwed up! I assumed he couldn't use any more projectiles!

Yuji: What now? Where was I hit?

Yuji: This isn't the same as when I had a hole in my stomach!

Yuji: It destroyed something that shouldn't be broken!

Yuji: I'm going to lose...

Yuji: and die!

Yuji: I understand what my role is.

Yuji: Fushiguro, Kugisaki,

Yuji: the other upperclassmen, all of them

Yuji: will pass through here on their way to Gojo-sensei.

Yuji: So even if I die, I'm taking this guy out.

Yuji: I don't have to be the one to rescue Gojo-sensei.

Choso: Three hits.

Choso: A mere three hits,

Choso: not counting the ones I guarded against.

Choso: Those blows I took from Itadori dealt this much damage to me...

Choso: Blood Meteorite's only strength is its hardness.

Choso: It doesn't have the speed or impact of Piercing Blood.

Choso: If I hadn't caught him by surprise, it wouldn't have been able to pierce him.

Narration: Normally, Blood Manipulation sorcerers

Narration: never coagulate blood like he did for Blood Meteorite.

Narration: Even Blood Blade only solidifies the outline and

Narration: circulates blood at high speeds to heighten its lethality.

Narration: Even those sorcerers with Blood Manipulation can't

Narration: extend their concentration to every blood vessel at once.

Narration: So when they strongly coagulate their blood,

Narration: it always poses the risk of causing spontaneous thrombosis.

Choso: Bring it.

Narration: However, Choso decided the risk posed by Yuji Itadori was far greater.

Yuji: He's strong!

Yuji: A tooth?!

Yuji: It was a feint?!

Yuji: Not yet!

Yuji: I haven't used my left fist since the start.

Yuji: He probably believes I can't use it anymore.

Yuji: So this att*ck using my right fist as a distraction

Yuji: will land!

Yuji: What was that response I felt?

Choso: Too bad.

Choso: He's still breathing.

Choso: Apologize...

Choso: to my brothers in the afterlife!

Sukuna: How worthless.

Sukuna: Losing to such riffraff.

Choso: What?

Narration: In that moment,

Narration: memories flooded Choso's mind.

Screen: Memories that didn't exist.

Narration: Memories that didn't exist.

Yuji: Hey!

Yuji: You, too, Brother!

Choso: What's happening? You're...

Nanako: There he is.

Mimiko: He's alive, right?

Nanako: Yeah.

Nanako: Let's get this started, then.

Kugisaki: Moan-day?

Fushiguro: Monday.

Kugisaki: Tuesday!

Yuji: Mhmm!

Kugisaki: Weh-do-ness-day?

Fushiguro: Wednesday.

Kugisaki: Screw this!

Yuji: Next time, "Fluctuations."

Kugisaki: Who the hell came up with these readings?!

Fushiguro: Someone smarter than you, dummy.
