Story:

Who will have the last laugh - human or curse?

"Gojo Satoru will seal 'it' at the appropriate time and place after establishing our advantage here. The operation will commence on October 31st in Shibuya."

In October 2018, tensions at the jujutsu high school rise after an attack by special grade cursed spirits at the goodwill event. Finally, the identity of the traitor is revealed. But who is it, and what is their objective!?

And on October 31st Halloween in Shibuya. A mysterious "barrier" suddenly traps masses of civilians in the area around Shibuya Station. Based on the advanced barrier technique that only captures civilians, and the message "Bring Gojo Satoru here" directed through civilians, the higher-ups decide to send Gojo alone to subdue Shibuya in order to minimize casualties.

Lying in wait inside after setting a trap are Geto and cursed spirits. Braving this alone is Gojo. Gathered outside the barrier are Itadori, Fushiguro, Panda, Nanami and numerous other jujutsu sorcerers. The unprecedented large-scale curse battle between jujutsu sorcerers and cursed spirits/sorcerers finally begins!
