For a moment, absolutely nothing happened.

Then—a violent surge of cursed energy exploded through the room. The air became unbearably heavy. Dark markings crawled across Yuji's skin as his body trembled. A second pair of eyes opened beneath his normal ones.

The markings stopped spreading. The extra eyes blinked. And then Yuji's entire posture changed. Something else had taken control.

The cursed energy in the room shifted again. Only this time, it wasn't Sukuna's. It was something entirely different. Something ancient. Something terrifyingly powerful.

And when Yuji finally lifted his head—the person looking through his eyes was not Sukuna.
