However, Itadori has had to watch Mahito take another person he cares about away from him. Kugisaki has managed to deal damage to Mahito with her ‘Resonance, so now it is up to Itadori to finish him off.

3. Recap of episode 19

Episode 19 of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ season 2 is titled “Right and Wrong, Part 2”. After Nanami saves her and Nitta from Haruta, Kugisaki immediately goes back inside the veil. Despite Nitta warning her not to go, Kugisaki refuses to sit idly as Itadori and Fushiguro still fight inside the veil.

She runs into Mahito, and they both fight, with Kugisaki wary of touching Mahito’s hands. Mahito cannot transfigure humans or alter souls as he is a double, but Kugisaki does not know that. Mahito uses this to tire her out. Itadori is still fighting Mahito, who manages to blind and attack him from behind.

However, Kugisaki is fighting Mahito’s double at the same time, and her attack ‘Resonance’ manages to hurt Mahito’s original body, saving Itadori from getting attacked. Mahito is stunned to find that Kugisaki is also his natural enemy.

Meanwhile, Itadori identifies Kugisaki’s ‘Resonance’ and feels reassured that he is not alone after all. Kugisaki, feeling her cursed energy explode far away from where they are fighting, deduces that the Mahito she is fighting is just a double. The original Mahito is still suffering from the aftereffects of Kugisaki’s attack. Itadori takes this chance to shower punches on the still-stunned Mahito.

Instead of continuing his fight with Kugisaki, Mahito runs away towards his original body. Kugisaki chases after him to get rid of him. The original Mahito splits into multiple smaller versions to escape Itadori. Both the Mahitos meet in the middle, but instead of merging, they pass by each other.

The original Mahito heads straight for Kugisaki, who was chasing after him. Itadori yells at Kugisaki to run, but Mahito manages to touch her face. Itadori punches Mahito’s double out of the way, rendering it useless. He runs towards Kugisaki, who has gone silent.

Fumi moved into Kugisaki’s village in 2009 but was bullied for being an outsider. However, Kugisaki beats up Fumi’s bullies and befriends Fumi. Kugisaki was a troublemaker as a child, but she started hanging out with Fumi. Kugisaki hated the village, but Fumi never understood why.

One day, Kugisaki dragged Fumi to Saori’s house, who had just moved into the village. Kugisaki became more soft-spoken and refined after being influenced by Saori. However, the villagers treated Saori as an outsider and treated her horribly to the point that she never left her house.

Eventually, the villagers drove Saori away. Fumi saw Kugisaki cry for the first time as she really adored Saori. When Kugisaki was leaving for Jujutsu High, Fumi wondered why Kugisaki didn’t cry for her like she did for Saori. Kugisaki promises Fumi that the next time they meet, she, Fumi and Saori will be together. Both Kugisaki and Fumi cry as the train leaves for Tokyo.

Saori has changed a lot, far from the refined, gentle woman Kugisaki used to admire. However, Saori still remembers Kugisaki fondly and wonders if she will be disappointed in her. Kugisaki’s idea of having a limited number of seats opened in her heart still holds strong.

After coming to Tokyo, Gojo, Itadori, Fushiguro and the second years, the people she met brought their own chairs. However, Fumi has always occupied the seat in her heart. Kugisaki’s last thoughts are an apology to Fumi for breaking their promise. Kugisaki’s last words to Itadori are, “Life wasn’t so bad’.

Itadori watches as the side of Kugisaki’s face that Mahito touched blows up, and she collapses. Itadori once again gets a front-row seat to the death of his loved ones.
