Those early morning Leaks were simply too good. I've decided to move this chapter forward for that reason (don't worry, it won't affect next week's update).

When it came to chemistry and physics, Itadori couldn't say he was the most dedicated student. He knew the basics and understood that plasma was the result of a complex process of gas ionization.
A plasma cut wasn't a proper cut but used high temperatures to slice through materials. How did it work? Itadori only remembered vague explanations from his companions at the station, so he couldn't really say.
So how on earth had he managed to interpret Sukuna's technique in this way if he didn't even understand the process behind it?
Well, Sukuna's technique was akin to cooking. Fire and cuts were the main points of his technique. Itadori tried to interpret this differently, and he couldn't help but remember a tool he used to use on the space station.
A tool that, while simple, was quite dangerous.
Itadori decided to try replicating the effect, and surprisingly, he managed to do it.
By expelling a jet of plasma at extreme temperatures, a plasma cut could separate metals like they were butter.
Itadori just imagined this, and now he had an incredibly powerful technique in his hands.
And now that he had his own interpretation, he didn't use as much cursed energy as before.
"..."
The sound of dripping echoed through those silent yet chaotic streets.
Jogo, standing still in front of the young sorcerer, remained frozen as that burning sensation returned, stronger than before.
His eye, devoid of emotion, slowly moved downward, landing on his arm, only to notice that everything from the elbow down was gone.
And seeing the bleeding stop, the curse raised an eyebrow in confusion when, instead of the expected regeneration, the burning sensation intensified.
'Why can't I regenerate?' Raising what was left of his arm, he pursed his lips when he saw the wound was completely charred. 'So that's it...'
Still incredulous, Jogo touched his wound, frowning when the pain jolted him back to reality.
'I was really burned.'
"..."
Closing his eye, the curse sighed, clearly surprised by all this.
"Kid." But although he seemed calm on the outside, his eye opened to reveal an animalistic fury, the volcano in his head erupting as his one eye narrowed. "I'm going to kill you!"
!
Itadori, standing before him, just smiled at this while taking a stance, his eyes narrowing as Jogo exploded towards him.
Boom!
Leaping back as Jogo punched where he had been, Itadori watched the ground beneath his feet explode into pieces, quickly retreating to avoid the debris flying his way.
'I feel like my injuries are slowly healing.' Dodging to the side, he skillfully evaded a wave of flames. 'I must have spent a miracle surviving that attack, and I'm probably using another one to use reverse cursed energy involuntarily.'
Seeing a light amid the dust, Itadori leaped to escape a wave of magma, swallowing hard when he realized it was very close.
'It sucks not having control over this technique.'
In the air, his eyes moved down to see Jogo glaring at him with intensity.
"You won't escape now!" The curse roared, jumping toward him with the intent to strike.
*Slice.
But before he could reach him, he growled as numerous cuts struck him, his body being pushed to the ground while Itadori landed in front of him.
'Even though it uses less energy than before, I still need to end this fight quickly.'
Approaching the curse that was slowly getting up, Itadori promptly struck him with a punch to the chin, quickly hitting him with a sequence of attacks that Jogo struggled to block.
"Black Flash!"
And finishing the attack with a strong Black Flash to his stomach, Itadori sent him crashing into a building.
'That should do it!'
Chasing the curse, Itadori quickly entered the building, observing how the curse seemed confused due to the attacks.
And clasping his hands together, he let his cursed energy spread throughout the environment.
"Todo! Now!"
As he seemed about to expand his domain, a confused Jogo opened his eye in recognition when he noticed an injured man running toward them.
"Sorry for the delay, brother!" And to the curse's surprise, the man in question was Todo, who, despite having burns all over his body, was still standing firmly.
"Domain Expansion!"
As those words left Itadori's mouth, Jogo's eye widened, his head turning to the young sorcerer as he raised his hand. "No! I won't let you!"
*Clap!
"Hunting Territory!"
But before his attack could be released, Itadori was quicker, his barrier expanding in all directions and covering the entire building.
Jogo froze as darkness overtook his vision, his eye widening in surprise as a chilling sensation hit his skin.
'Is this...cold?'
As the environment changed around him into a forest engulfed by a heavy snowstorm, Jogo surveyed his surroundings in alert, confused when the heat emanating from his body couldn't melt the snow at his feet.
"What is this?"
!
But as he seemed about to test his fire, he turned as a noise sounded from behind him.
Boom!
Only to be struck by a precise punch to the face, black lightning spreading through the forest before the curse was hurled by the attack.
"Damn it!" Rolling on the ground and stopping his momentum, Jogo spat blood as he raised his hand, freezing when he couldn't unleash a fire attack. "What? What happened to my technique?"
Itadori, standing before him, just stared at him silently, the sound of heavy footsteps echoing behind him before a massive wolf revealed itself.
"In my domain, your technique is completely neutralized."
Jogo frowned at that information, standing up and wiping his lips.
"There are also other details, but I really don't feel like telling you."
Wiping the blood from his face, Itadori sighed, his head lifting as his ears picked up movement beside him.
Jogo noticed it too, his eye landing on what seemed to be a low-level curse resembling a dog.
This brought a smile to the boy's face.
"The only thing you need to know is that the longer my domain stands, the stronger I will become."
And before the weak curse could react, the massive wolf devoured it in one bite, cursed energy overflowing from Itadori's body right after, which Jogo couldn't help but notice.
"Let's start this hunt."
