We are close to the 500 power stones, so I decided to move forward anyway.
I also wanted to vent: In my conception, an author needs to stay true to what they proposed in their story. If you develop something at the beginning of the work, it is CORRECT to finish what was developed at some point. I, as an amateur, can say that I have problems in my stories regarding this, and I try to improve.
With that in mind, I wanted to say that I think the author of My Hero Academia is a COWARD. I have followed this work since 2016, and I can say I have never been so disappointed with an ending as I was with this one. Many may use the argument: 'If you didn't like it, you didn't understand it.' I UNDERSTOOD it. and I still hate it. It's not my fault if the author did everything to make everything seem HORRIBLE!
That said, I won't hold you up with my indignant ramblings any longer, so enjoy the story! By the way, I would like you to rate the story if you haven't already! Thank you!

_______________________________________________________________________________
Days Earlier, Jujutsu High School.
"To be honest, I really don't know how you could improve your cursed technique."
In the training field, Itadori and Nobara stood facing each other, the girl holding her metal hammer while the boy kept his fists raised.
"Your technique is simple, there's not much room for improvement."
!
Dodging a hammer, Itadori skillfully backed away while continuing to evade the sorceress's attacks.
"But instead, I can say that there's definitely room for improving its effectiveness."
Holding the hammer's handle inches from his head, Itadori quickly struck the girl's stomach with his palm, pushing her back and making her choke.
"That hurt, idiot." She held her abdomen, frowning as she turned to him.
But Itadori was undeterred by her look, crossing his arms with an impassive face. "This is training; you should be grateful it wasn't a punch. You leave too many openings."
!
Nobara's eyes widened as Itadori suddenly advanced, quickly raising her hammer to block a punch that split the wooden handle in two.
This made her eyes widen in astonishment, and retreating in quick steps, she took a guard stance. 'He broke my hammer even though it was imbued with cursed energy... What an exaggeration.'
"In a fight, being hit is a death sentence. The one who strikes first has the advantage, and it's not good to be the one who gets hit."
With those words, Itadori advanced, Nobara anticipating and kicking towards his head, only for the boy to dodge, countering with a sweep that knocked her on her back to the ground.
"Be like water, my friend."
"..."
On the ground, Nobara narrowed her eyes. "Did you just use a Bruce Lee quote?"
"..." Itadori blinked, and stepping back with a fake cough, he shrugged. "Back to the previous topic..."
Nobara muttered upon seeing that, standing up while dusting off her clothes.
"As I said, there's room to improve the effectiveness of your technique in a fight, and it has to do with your nails."
Nobara blinked in confusion at that. "What about them?"
"You can't manipulate their movements, can you?"
Nobara didn't answer immediately, pausing to think about how she used her nails.
"No, I just fire them with a burst of cursed energy."
Itadori nodded, already knowing that information. "That's the point. If you could manipulate them from a distance, you could adjust their positions and fire with more accuracy. It would also be great for catching an opponent off guard."
Nobara frowned at those words. It was indeed an interesting idea, but the practice was not as easy as the theory; it would require tremendous control of cursed energy, something she didn't have at the moment.
"Maintaining my cursed energy in the nails while manipulating them would require meticulous control; I don't think I can do that."
Itadori smiled at that. He understood well that doing something like that wasn't simple, so he had a perfect way to solve this problem.
"Well, that's why I'm going to teach you a technique that will solve that."
Nobara, seeing him smile, could only watch him with suspicion.
"I'm going to teach you how to unleash the Black Flash."
.
Present, entrance of Shibuya Station.
Leaping to the side to avoid a blade of flesh, Nobara quickly advanced towards Mahito, who promptly prepared by retracting his arm.
Snap!
But as he seemed confident, his eyes widened when numerous nails hit his knees, making him falter.
"Damn it!" He growled, but before he could recover, a hammer struck his face full-on, his body rolling back.
And Nobara, responsible for the attack, continued her assault while spreading more of her nails on the ground.
'Thanks to Itadori, I can now adjust the position of my nails at will...'
Mahito, who stood up in alert, barely reacted when the girl hit his face with a flying kick, his body being pushed back.
'But the more I use my cursed energy, the harder it becomes to maintain meticulous control.'
Retreating when a blade threatened to cut her, Nobara skillfully avoided a giant fist with a jump, landing on the transfigured arm.
'If I don't unleash a Black Flash, there will come a point when I won't be able to maintain control.'
Mahito, seeing the girl on his arm, threw her up.
!
Seeing this as an opportunity, he prepared to cut her in the air, only for two nails to hit both his eyes.
Landing, Nobara flashed a disdainful smile and, advancing against the curse, she stopped in front of him for a moment.
'That feeling...'
Letting the cursed energy flow through her hammer, the sorceress regulated her breathing.
'I need to replicate it.'
Mahito, who by this point had recovered his eyes, was surprised to see the girl so close.
"Black..."
But before he could move, the girl surprised him by attacking, her hammer flying towards his head like a bullet.
"Flash!"
And Mahito, not caring about taking damage, was shocked when an enormous power hit his face, his body colliding with a wall while blood flew from his mouth.
Nobara, with a focused look, cleaned the blood from her hammer with a shake, the cursed energy around her body flowing like never before.
Mahito, who wiped the blood from his mouth as he moved away from the wall he had been thrown against, flashed a mocking smile. "I remember telling you that your attacks don't work on me."
Nobara didn't seem shaken by his words, her eyes narrowing as she raised her hand.
Snap!
And with a snap, numerous nails exploded towards the curse, embedding in various parts of his body.
"Yes, I noticed that."
Mahito raised his head curiously when the girl spoke, seeming unbothered by the numerous nails in his body.
"That's why I decided to use something that will definitely work on you." Nobara explained with a scary smile, the cursed energy around her body spreading all at once. "It's something new, so feel honored."
Mahito's eyes widened at that, and seeing her cursed energy flow change, he advanced towards her.
"Maximum Technique: Staples Resonance."
!
.
At the station, Itadori carefully laid Nanami on the ground, the older sorcerer already unconscious.
"Damn it..." He growled as he saw the state the man was in.
It was a miracle he was still alive; Itadori could see that.
And he couldn't help but feel guilty about it.
But he had thought too much about all this to say that lamenting wouldn't solve anything.
He had made a choice by not revealing his knowledge about the curse attacks, but he wouldn't regret it.
He had a chance to do better, and that's what he was doing.
Starting with Nanami, he wouldn't let anyone else important to this world die.
His life wasn't a spectacle, there were no spectators to shock.
If the canon had a dark future for him, then he would change everything without a second thought.
He wouldn't limit himself anymore.
"You've gotten stronger, Yuji Itadori."
With a voice sounding from afar, Itadori turned to see a wounded Mahito emerging from a pile of rubble. Blood dripped from his chin, while half of his face was clearly battered.
Blood dripped from his cut arm, but that didn't seem to affect him, evident when a new one grew in its place.
"And with new skills, I see."
Itadori narrowed his eyes at that, moving away from Nanami as he faced the curse.
"If you think this is going to be a fight, Mahito..." Approaching the curse slowly, he stopped a few meters away with confidence, causing Mahito to frown. "I'm sorry to break your expectations."
"Because this is going to be a hunt."

_______________________________________________________________________________
Mahito observed Itadori in silence, noticing the change in the sorcerer's spiritual power.
He could tell that the boy had become much stronger, to the point where he wasn't confident in his victory.
To be honest, he was counting on Itadori's growth not being so significant. Even if there was a slight difference between them, Mahito would still have confidence in winning.
But face-to-face with his enemy, he could see that the difference between them was like an abyss.
Moreover, there was something else bothering him.
The strengthening of Itadori was quite shocking, but even with that, Mahito was not intimidated. If he found the true form of his soul during the battle, he would be able to turn the tide.
What really bothered him was how Itadori's soul had changed.
Previously, his soul seemed normal, perhaps even weaker than normal, but now he could see a distinct difference.
His soul was more robust, clearly stronger, which should consequently strengthen his physical body.
This should be impossible.
Changing the shape of the soul was not unthinkable, even for those without a soul-related technique, but strengthening them?
When it came to souls, Mahito could say he was like a scientist. Therefore, he knew there was only one method of "strengthening" a soul.
A fusion of countless souls.
And even then, it only worked with weak souls, besides causing irreversible damage.
What should this mean?
"..."
Seeing Itadori confidently take a stance, Mahito raised his own hands in a battle pose, a slight disdainful smile on his lips.
He felt that it was useless to think about it at the moment, as he had an objective ahead of him.
Kill Yuji Itadori.
!
Widening his eyes when Itadori disappeared, Mahito quickly raised his arms intending to protect his face.
"Ugh!" But instead of an attack to his head, he choked as a strong impact hit his stomach, blood rising in his throat as he was pushed back.
'He has gotten much faster, and his physical strength is on a completely different level!'
Leaping back when a kick threatened to crush his head, Mahito extended his arm like a whip full of thorns and attacked Itadori.
But Itadori merely deflected the attempt to hit him with his own fist, Mahito growling upon seeing how his thorns didn't even scratch his skin.
And before he could think further about it, he quickly threw himself back as Itadori struck the ground where he was standing.
'Seeing that look.' Seeing the boy pursue him with an impassive look, Mahito couldn't help but think. 'I have to admit...'
Boom!
Being hit by a precise kick to his chest, Mahito vomited blood as he flew back.
'That he looks scary!'
Stopping his momentum, Mahito wiped the blood from his lips before quickly spitting out some reshaped humans, merging them all at once.
"Soul Multiplicity: Repel Souls!"
And seeing Itadori advance in his direction, Mahito pronounced, the fused souls expanding into a huge mouth of flesh that exploded toward the boy.
*Cut.
But expecting the attack to reach the young sorcerer, Mahito widened his eyes as the reshaped soul split in half, a blood-stained Itadori emerging in front of him in an instant.
"Black Flash!"
And being hit by a full-force punch, Mahito flew like a bullet, his body colliding with the station structures and crashing through numerous walls.
"..."
Feeling some debris fall on his body, Mahito slowly moved, removing some of the rubble from on top of himself.
'So it's as I thought.' Slowly recovering his bruised face, he pushed the rubble away from his body all at once. 'He can use Sukuna's technique.'
He had already suspected this in their first fight, but he had preferred not to believe in such a hypothesis.
But now, having his suspicions confirmed, he could only growl in frustration. If he had little confidence in victory before, at this point, he was already accepting the fact that he would be unable to win.
At least, until he found the true form of his soul.
Coming out from the middle of the rubble, he moved through the holes in the wall, emerging back at the station.
But the sight that awaited him only served to irritate him deeply.
"What took you so long?" Sitting on a bench, Itadori was casually drinking a soda, his disinterested eyes fixed on Mahito's irritated face. "I was almost falling asleep here."
"How funny, I didn't think you had this kind of sense of humor." Mahito smiled, cursed energy flowing to his arms and dancing around his lungs. "I was a bit disoriented before, so how about we start round two?"
"Mahito, did you forget what I told you before?"
!
Widening his eyes when he felt a strong cursed energy fluctuate beside him, Mahito turned to see a small volcano pointed in his direction.
"This is not a fight."
Boom!
Having his body hit by a wave of magma, Mahito growled as he was pushed away, smoke emanating from his burned skin.
'Was that Jogo's technique?'
Shocked by the sudden attack, he barely reacted when Itadori appeared above him, his head being struck by a hammer fist that smashed his face into the hard concrete ground.
"This is a hunt."
Dazed by the attack, Mahito choked as a kick to his ribs sent him flying.
"And I am the hunter."
Following the trajectory of the curse, Itadori grabbed him by the nape and threw him away, sending a wave of consecutive slashes.
Mahito growled as he felt his body being cut, his feet digging into the ground as he took a stance. 'These slashes are very different from Sukuna's slash!'
Seeing how Itadori seemed unfazed as he walked towards him, Mahito gritted his teeth in irritation, his hands coming together as cursed energy gathered in his palms.
'I won't lose here, Itadori!'
Boom!
And surprising Itadori, he was unable to escape when a massive mass of flesh expanded in front of him, pushing him through the ceiling and throwing him to the surface.
"Damn, hard to kill rat." Landing firmly on the ground, he sighed as he looked around. "Well, it's my fault for not finishing him off quickly."
!
But as the boy reprimanded himself, his eyes widened when he felt a fluctuation in cursed energy, turning to see Mahito right behind him with his fist glowing with cursed energy.
'Damn!'
And preparing for the damage, he was surprised when the curse suddenly froze, blood exploding from his mouth as numerous spikes emerged from his body.
This brought a huge smile to Itadori's face, who turned while accumulating cursed energy in his fist.
'Thanks for that...' And punching Mahito's face, Itadori launched him across the street, his body colliding with one of the surrounding buildings. 'Nobara!'
"Let's finish this once and for all, Mahito!"
