Jujutsu Kaisen (jjk) Chapter 12
A New Mission Begins
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 12 launches a new arc as Yuji steps into the field again—unofficially. His death is still unannounced, but Gojo believes it’s time to reintroduce him to combat.
To guide him, Gojo sends in a professional—Kento Nanami.
Meet Kento Nanami
Nanami is the polar opposite of Gojo. Where Gojo is wild and flashy, Nanami is calm, strict, and practical.
Traits that Define Nanami:
- Former office worker
- Hates overtime
- Lives by logic, not emotion
- Uses a cursed sword with ratio-based precision
He’s a sorcerer who sees jujutsu as a job, not a calling.
Yuji’s First Real Field Training
Their mission: Investigate mysterious deaths inside a theater where human bodies were found disfigured and cursed.
Goals of the Mission:
- Identify if the curse is lingering
- Understand its pattern
- Avoid unnecessary risk
But things get dangerous—fast.
The Curse Is Evolving
Yuji and Nanami encounter a new type of cursed spirit—one that speaks, mocks, and shows high-level intelligence. This is no ordinary curse.
Nanami realizes something chilling:
“This one is different. It wasn’t born naturally… it was made.”
The First Glimpse of Mahito
Though not fully revealed, the curse’s behavior hints at the arrival of Mahito—a twisted cursed spirit who experiments on humans.
The victims? Transfigured corpses, manipulated into monsters.
Yuji is horrified. Nanami stays cold and focused.
