Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 42

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 42 turns to the long-brewing confrontation between the Zenin twins. Raised in a clan that despised them, Maki once promised she would never leave Mai behind — but she left anyway to chase her own strength, forcing Mai to become a sorcerer against her will. Mai’s resentment has curdled over the years, and she has kept her cursed technique hidden even from her sister, saving it for exactly this moment.

Mai finally unveils Construction, a technique that lets her create a single bullet from nothing each day, and fires it at point-blank range. It is not enough. Maki’s mastery of close combat — built without a drop of cursed energy — overwhelms her sister completely. Mai is defeated and eliminated from the event, and her hatred for the twin who abandoned her only burns hotter.
