Episode 8 of Jujutsu Kaisen titled “Boredom” starts with Kugisaki and Megumi being confronted by Kyoto Third Years Toudou Aoi and Mai Zenin.
Mai-senpai comes off as a rather rude person when she insults Yuuji and calls him a mere cursed ‘vessel’ monster who died in vain.
However, Todo challenges Megumi to a fight based on absurd questioning, making both the first years super wary.
A month later, Mahito kills three young boys inside a movie theatre and is later questioned by a young boy who witnessed the scene.
Meanwhile, Yuuji is seen accompanying Kento Nanami to investigate the deaths inside the movie theatre.
Will Yuuji and Mahito have a face-off? We will find out in the next episode.

2. Episode 9 Speculation
A small preview for Episode 9 was shown at the end of the seventh episode.
The preview shows that Episode 9 might be picking up its real quick with more intense fighting. We know Episode 8 ended with Yuuji and Nanami-san going inside the movie theatre to investigate the deaths.

3. Episode 8 Recap
Kugisaki and Megumi are confronted by Kyoto High 3rd Years Toudou Aoi and Mai Zenin.
The two seniors are rude and immediately show their dominance, with Mai insulting the supposedly dead Yuuji by calling him a cursed monster vessel, unworthy of being a jujutsu sorcerer and Toudou picking a fight with Megumi by asking his type in girls.
Flustered by his question, Megumi refuses to answer at first, prompting Toudou to give his reasoning that knowing his opponent’s fetishes reveals their inner qualities. This is how he weeds out the boring people.
Megumi has a flashback of his sister saying that “not forgiving people isn’t always a bad thing.” He answers by saying he does not have a preference as long as she has an unshakable character.
The boring answer does not satisfy Toudou, and he attacks Megumi and sends him flying with just a jab in his throat. Kugisaki is unable to intervene thanks to Mai, but she provokes Mai, prompting her to yield a gun pointing to her back.
Megumi realizes that Toudou is the famous sorcerer to have exorcised a special grade curse and five first grade curses all at once in the night parade of hundred demons incident back in Kyoto.
But he is baffled why such an incredible jujutsu sorcerer is using his skills to defeat a mere first year like him.
Toudou shows incredible strength against Megumi, and the two fight one on one with countless attacks thrown at each other.
Toudou triumphs against Megumi, rendering him almost bloody and unconscious when Tokyo Tech 2nd Year seniors come to his rescue.
Toudou almost lands one final blow on Megumi when Toge Inumaki-senpai stops him with his cursed speech ability making Toudou stop at command.
To do so, Toge unveils his mouth, where you can see the “Snake & Fangs” seal of the Inumaki Clan on his tongue and around both the sides of his mouth.
Mai is also stopped by her twin sister Maki and the two Kyoto students leave the scene.
Later, Goujou-sensei is seen confronting Principal Gakuganji. He asks his motives for putting Yuuji in harm’s way, but the principal feigns ignorance.
Goujou leaves the meeting with a warning stating that the council will not fathom the high-grade curses level if they don’t cooperate.
There is a time jump, and one month later, three corpses of some high school boys are found inside a movie theatre. The cause of death is reported as respiratory paralysis due to increased cranial pressure.
The Villain Mahito is seen near the crime scene, and we find Junpei Yoshino questioning him for the kill.
The episode ends with Yuuji showing up to investigate the murders along with Grade 1 Sorcerer Kento Nanami.
