1
Yuji Itadori!
2
By law, I will now exorcise you as a curse!
3
No, really, I'm feeling fine.
4
Besides, you and I are both pretty beat up.
5
Shouldn't we see a doctor?
6
I can't tell if this is Itadori speaking or the cursed object.
7
Damn it.
8
What do I do now?
9
What's the situation?
10
Huh?
11
Satoru Gojo?
12
What are you doing here?
13
Hey, I wasn't planning on showing up.
14
But you got kind of roughed up, kid.
15
I'll show the second years.
16
Say cheese!
17
I got an earful from the higher-ups because the special-grade cursed object's still missing.
18
Thought I'd do a little sightseeing and stop by.
19
So, did you find it yet?
20
Uh...
21
Sorry, but I ate that thing.
22
Really?
23
I did.
24
Hm?
25
Hmmmmmm?
26
Haha!
27
Damn, it really did combine with you!
28
That's hilarious.
29
Anything weird about your body?
30
Nah.
31
Seems okay.
32
Can you swap with Sukuna at will?
33
Sukuna?
34
Yeah, the curse you ate?
35
Oh!
36
Mm-hmm.
37
Yeah, I think I can do that.
38
Okay, give us ten seconds.
39
Then change right back into yourself.
40
Yeah, but...
41
Eh, don't worry.
42
I'm way too strong for him.
43
Megumi, hold on to this for me.
44
So what is this?
45
Kikufuku from Kikusuya.
46
It's Sendai's specialty and it's super good.
47
I recommend the Zunda and Cream flavor.
48
This guy actually went and bought souvenirs while people were out here dying?
49
It's no souvenir.
50
I'll be eating this on the bullet train ride home.
51
Look out!
52
Kikufuku's just the best.
53
I think it's the whipped cream inside that really makes the difference.
54
Since my student's watching, I think I'll show off a little.
55
Yeah. Is he unbelievably fast?
56
No, that's not it. For crying out loud.
57
You jiu-jitsu sorcerers are always such a pain in the ass in any era!
58
No, time doesn't really have much meaning for me.
59
Seven, eight, nine, and that should do it.
60
Damn it!
61
Again!
62
Why can't I seem to take over this party?
63
Who the hell is this, Itadori Punk?
64
Well, how did it go?
65
How about that?
66
So you really can control that guy?
67
He's kind of annoying though, to tell the truth, and I keep hearing his voice.
68
It's a miracle that's all he's doing to you.
69
What did you do to him?
70
I just knocked him out.
71
If he isn't possessed by Sukuna when he wakes up, then he might have potential as a vessel.
72
Now I have a question for you.
73
What do you think we should do with him?
74
Hmm.
75
Well, even if he is a vessel, Jujutsu regulations demand Yitadori be executed.
76
However, I don't want him to die.
77
Personal?
78
I suppose.
79
So can you save him?
80
A request from a precious student?
81
Leave it to me.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
