Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 145

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 145 finally reveals the truth about Yuta’s “execution”: he never intended to kill Yuji at all. Bound by a vow to the higher-ups, he found a loophole — he stopped Yuji’s heart just long enough to technically fulfill the order, then restarted it with reverse cursed technique. Yuji Itadori is alive, and the higher-ups are none the wiser.

With the deception holding, Yuji, Megumi, Yuta, and Choso descend through the hidden “back” entrance beneath Jujutsu High toward the Tombs of the Star. Waiting for them is Master Tengen, the immortal cornerstone of jujutsu society — the only one who truly understands the Culling Game Kenjaku has unleashed.
