Capítulo 41: Shining Sea Of Growing Branches.
I'll explain Hanami's Domain now.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
As Yuji and Aoi relentlessly push Hanami back toward the riverbed where their battle first erupted, Aoi's sharp mind races through everything he's learned during the fight.
Amidst the chaos, he recalls a crucial piece of information Megumi had shared earlier—Maki's special grade cursed tool, Playful Cloud, was lying somewhere in the riverbed. He also remembers that the trees on Hanami's face are his weak spots, a vital detail they hadn't yet exploited.
Aoi grins, a plan forming in his mind. "Yuji, keep the pressure on!" he shouts, his voice barely audible over the sound of clashing cursed energy. With a swift clap of his hands, Aoi uses Boogie Woogie, switching Yuji's position with the Playful Cloud buried in the riverbed.
Hanami, sensing the sorcerers closing in, taps into his last reserves. He absorbs the life force from the nearby plants, converting it into cursed energy that funnels directly into the flower bud on his left shoulder. The cursed spirit is preparing for a final stand.
Yuji, now wielding the powerful cursed tool, sprints towards Hanami with Aoi by his side. As they near their target, Aoi suddenly grabs Yuji and hurls him with immense force, propelling him directly at Hanami.
The timing is perfect. Yuji's strike with Playful Cloud connects with Hanami's arm, shattering his shoulder with a sickening crack. The special grade curse endures the excruciating pain, his resolve unwavering. But just as Yuji lands the blow, Hanami's expression shifts to a cold calmness.
"You children were, without a doubt, the strongest enemies I have ever fought," Hanami intones, his voice carrying a strange mixture of respect and menace. "Be silent and die without pain."
With those chilling words, Hanami unleashes his final trump card: Domain Expansion. The air crackles with cursed energy as a black dome rapidly forms around him, encasing Yuji and Aoi within its dark confines.
The domain, titled Shining Sea Of Growing Branches, materializes in full, a grassland where flowers of different varieties are blooming and multiple palm trees in the background as a shining sun is above their hands. 'If this wasn't bad, I'd invite everyone over here...' the thought crosses Yuji's mind.
Outside the domain, far above the chaotic scene, Gojo Satoru hovers, his ever-present smirk widening. He watches the battle unfold with a mixture of pride and amusement. Yuji's growth has been remarkable, and Todo's influence has only accelerated it.
Gojo's gaze flickers to the black dome, then to the sky, where he contemplates the delicate balance of letting his students struggle and stepping in to ensure their survival.
"Utahime," he murmurs, recalling how she had trained Todo well enough to hold his own against such a formidable opponent. "Now then...I suppose I can get a little rough."
...
Elsewhere on the battlefield, Gakuganji continues his intense duel with Juzo Kumiya, a curse user of considerable skill and cunning. The air vibrates with the resonant hum of Gakuganji's cursed energy as he strums his electric guitar, sending a devastating blast of sound waves toward Juzo. The force ripples through the air, distorting the surroundings and causing the very ground to tremble.
Juzo, with his twisted grin, dodges the attack, quickly deducing that Gakuganji excels as a midrange attacker. He realizes that the seasoned sorcerer is intentionally keeping him at a distance, preventing any close-quarters combat where Juzo's cursed tools might give him an edge. "Smart old man," Juzo mutters, his eyes narrowing as he strategizes his next move.
Meanwhile, Utahime races through the forest, her breath quickening as she presses a phone to her ear. The urgency in her voice is clear as she communicates with her allies, trying to coordinate their efforts amidst the chaos of the ongoing battles. Suddenly, she feels a sinister presence behind her—before she can react, a gleeful voice cuts through the air.
"What'll you give me if I let you go, hm?" Haruta Shigemo, a devious and sadistic curse user, sneers as he lunges at Utahime, his weapon glinting menacingly in his hand.
Utahime barely has time to spin around and defend herself when two figures burst onto the scene. Nobara Kugisaki and Mai Zenin arrive in the nick of time, their expressions steely and determined as they move to assist Utahime.
"Well, well, well," Haruta chuckles, his grin widening as he eyes the newcomers. "Looks like I'm popular today! So many pretty girls, just for me."
Nobara's eyes flash with anger, her hammer already in hand as she squares off against Haruta. "Keep dreaming, creep. You're outnumbered and outclassed."
Mai, standing beside Nobara, calmly draws her revolver, her gaze cold and unwavering. "I don't miss," she warns, aiming at Haruta with deadly precision.
Before the tension can escalate further, the ominous black curtain that had hung over the area suddenly dissipates, leaving the sky clear once more. Haruta's grin falters as he looks up, a trace of surprise crossing his face.
"It hasn't even been 30 minutes…" he mutters to himself, realizing that the situation has shifted out of his favor. Without another word, he turns on his heel and bolts, his earlier bravado evaporating as he retreats into the shadows.
Nobara lowers her hammer slightly, her brow furrowed. "Coward," she spits, though she's relieved that the immediate threat has passed.
Mai, still holding her gun steady, watches Haruta's retreating form with a mix of caution and disdain. "Let him run. We've got more important things to worry about."
...
Inside Hanami's ominous Domain Expansion, "Shining Sea of Growing Branches," Yuji and Todo find themselves surrounded by a twisted forest of cursed energy, the air thick with an overwhelming sense of danger. Hanami's cursed energy permeates the space, making it difficult for them to move freely. As the two sorcerers assess their situation, Yuji turns to Todo, his expression tense.
"How bad is it, Todo?" Yuji asks, keeping his voice low but urgent.
Todo, ever the composed fighter, surveys their surroundings with a critical eye. He has already activated his Simple Domain, a technique taught by his sensei to counter the effects of Domain Expansions. It's a precaution, but even Todo knows that the situation is dire.
"It's pretty bad, Yuji," Todo admits, his usual confidence tinged with seriousness. "But don't worry—we have help."
Yuji looks at Todo, puzzled by his cryptic response, but before he can ask what he means, a sudden shift in the cursed energy around them draws their attention upward.
High above the battlefield, Gojo Satoru hovers, his eyes narrowed as he gazes down at the black dome of Hanami's Domain. He's grown bored of toying with the weaker curses and now, his attention is fully on the 'threat' posed by the special grade curse.
With a calm but deadly determination, Gojo decides to unleash one of his most devastating techniques. Combining Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue and Cursed Technique Reversal: Red, Gojo creates a mass of cursed energy that defies the natural laws of attraction and repulsion.
The result is Hollow Technique: Purple, a technique so powerful that it warps the very fabric of reality, akin to a black hole that pulls in everything around it, only to violently expel it with catastrophic force.
Gojo's expression remains cool and focused as he aims Hollow Purple at Hanami's Domain. With a single precise motion, he releases the technique.
The mass of cursed energy shoots toward the ground with blinding speed, the air around it distorting as it passes through the atmosphere.
Inside the Domain, Hanami suddenly senses an immense force approaching. His eyes widen in shock as the walls of his Domain begin to crack under the pressure. The cursed spirit realizes, with a mixture of disbelief and fear, that his Domain is about to be obliterated.
Outside, Gojo's Hollow Purple makes contact with the black dome. The resulting explosion is unlike anything Yuji or Todo have ever experienced.
The Domain shatters like fragile glass, fragments of cursed energy scattering in every direction. The sheer force of the technique causes the ground to quake, and the sky itself seems to ripple with the aftershock.
Hanami, desperate to survive, quickly surrounds himself with a dense wall of trees, hoping to absorb the impact. The trees thicken and grow, forming a protective barrier around him.
But the power of Gojo's technique is too great, even for the special grade curse. The trees begin to disintegrate under the onslaught, their life force sucked away by the relentless pull of Hollow Purple.
Recognizing the imminent danger, Todo grabs Yuji by the arm. "We need to move, now!" he shouts, urgency lacing his voice. The two sorcerers bolt from the scene, their feet barely touching the ground as they flee to avoid the massive destruction that Gojo's technique is about to unleash.
As they escape the epicenter of the blast, the area where Hanami's Domain once stood is reduced to a smoldering crater. The air is thick with dust and debris, and the sound of the explosion still echoes in the distance.
Elegant as usual, Gojo floats down. "Yo, Yuji! Oh, and thanks Aoi." Blasting away the rubbles around them, Gojo helps Yuji up. "Gojo-Sensei, is it dead?" Raising his blindfold over one eye, Gojo smiles, "'Course, I am the strongest after all." Gojo smiles but he's already seen Hanami escape, using the lush greenery to escape, chasing it would be a waste of time.
"Anyways, how was a Domain Expansion? Cool, huh?"
"No, we almost died! Oh, and can I learn a Domain Expansion too?"
"Nope, that needs a Cursed Technique!"
Todo who was searching for his necklace of Takada-chan, comes back. "Yo, nice to see you, Satoru-Sensei."

1. The reason they experienced Hanami's Domain is due to, Yuji being about a third stronger than before and naturally exhausting Hanami faster.
2. Here's Hanami's Domain.
