Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 142

The truth cuts deeper than any blade in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 142. Yuta defeats Choso without killing him — and then reveals the secret behind the “execution”: the instant his sword pierced Yuji, Yuta flooded the wound with reverse cursed technique, restarting his heart. Yuji never died at all.

It was all staged. Bound by a promise to the sealed Gojo, Yuta found a loophole in the higher-ups’ order: he would “execute” Yuji the moment he found him — and then bring him right back. Choso, who fought to avenge a living brother, stares in disbelief. The executioner was a guardian all along.
