December 7, 1989 — The Explosive Birth of Satoru Gojo.
A certain day in 1995 — The Self-Binding of Naoya Zen'in.
December 22, 2005 — The Subjugation of [ ].
A certain day in July 2006 — The Awakening of Suguru Geto.
A certain day in August 2008 — The Discovery of Yuji Itadori.
Across these five pivotal moments, the jujutsu world had been rocked by constant tremors for twenty years. Things had finally seemed to settle after the discovery of Yuji Itadori, which had served as the final chapter of that era. However, a massive shockwave recently struck the jujutsu world once again. It wasn't because two of the Big Three Families—the Gojo and Zen'in clans—had officially joined hands through the marriage of Yuta Okkotsu. Rather, it was due to the existence that appeared in the jujutsu world like a supernova as a result of that union.
A lucky day in June 2017 — The Metamorphosis of the Demon 'Yuta Okkotsu'.
As a result of the Binding Vow in which Rika Orimoto and Yuta Okkotsu offered their entire existences to one another, they achieved a total fusion. The resulting entity was a truly demonic being, possessing a body that was half-human and half-cursed spirit, housing two souls firmly bonded into a single form.
Having become a demon outside the laws of nature—comparable even to the legendary Ryomen Sukuna who appeared in the Heian Era—he possessed inexhaustible cursed energy and the Mimicry technique. Combining the physical prowess of a cursed spirit with a body of human flesh and blood, his existence was now something akin to an 'Incarnated Special Grade Cursed Object'.
Currently, that very Yuta Okkotsu was in the Jujutsu High cafeteria, surrounded by a group of women.
Well, to be precise, it wasn't Yuta they were crowding around...
"—And then, Yuta led me so gently—"
"Heh, so Yuta's the type who steps up when it counts."
"That's when you see a man's worth. Naoya's kindness is nice too, but our husband feels more like 'adult responsibility' rather than that burning youth you two have."
"My, Yuta and Rika have shown me so many interesting things. Both as a melodrama and as jujutsu research. Though maybe I'm getting old—seeing something so bittersweet makes me smile before I feel envious. —Oh, but that aside! You and your wife will be undergoing a joint physical exam with Shoko and me later. Just think of it as a bridal checkup."
"There's no precedent for a post-hoc fusion of a curse and a human. As the school doctor, I definitely want to take a look... though I don't really get the nuances of romance."
"I wonder if I'll end up an old maid just like ' '..."
"Oops, that's a comment I can't ignore, Riko. But it's hard to crack a joke when you look that serious, so please stop..."
"Lady Riko! It's okay! Things worked out for me too!"
"Wait, Misato, shouldn't you realize by now that your appearance is weird?"
"She's around the same age as my mom, yet she doesn't have a single wrinkle. Are you really forty-two, Misato?"
"And she only uses Cow Brand soap, right? When I remember Misato while doing a face mask, I lose hope in the world. —But back to the topic, do you think Kin-chan will take me? My hurdles are pretty high too, though not as high as Rika's."
"With Kinji's guts, he'll manage."
"He'd probably just punch out anyone who objects and end up with a suspension or a disciplinary report."
"If there's love, you can smash through any hurdle! Right, Yuta!?"
"Y-Yeah, Rika... I think I'm going to die of embarrassment..."
Indeed. With an air of generosity that seemed to say, 'As long as you treat them like a girl, whether they're a cursed spirit or a boy, they become a girl. That's just how it is, ehehehe,' Yuta had been dragged into this girls' night out because 'Rika is a girl and Kirara is a girl.' Since he shared a body with Rika, he was caught in the middle. Currently, Rika was in a great mood while being asked various things about their wedding night—similar to the incarnated Yuji Itadori, the fused Rika could freely manifest mouths and eyes on the surface of Yuta's body—and her overly detailed 'wedding night report' had Yuta on the verge of a mental breakdown.
His savior appeared at that very moment.
"Salmon, salmon. Wild garlic—bonito flakes."
"Wait, Inumaki! I'm coming! I'll go on the mission, so wait! Don't leave me behind!?"
Yuta tried to make his escape, desperate not to miss this chance, but Maki cut in with a wicked smile to block his path.
"Whoa there. Is our Magnitude 2 Hip-Shaker heading out to the front lines?"
"Oh my, Yuta, you're quite vigorous."
"Maki! Mai! That's a misunderstanding!"
Maki had dropped a total bombshell of a dirty joke. Mai joined in with a teasing, wicked grin of her own, and Yuta scrambled to protest and avoid the disastrous damage to his reputation.
It was true that a tremor had occurred when he and Rika... did that. However, the cause was a cursed energy explosion resulting from the fusion of Yuta and Rika; it wasn't because Yuta had been incredibly violent in his activities.
However, a blade of words from an unexpected source stabbed Yuta in the back.
'But it's true you wanted me intensely, right?'
"That's true, but that's misleading, Rika!"
The culprit was the 17-year-old newlyweds, Okkotsu-Rika, currently overflowing with happiness and ready to brag about their love the moment an opening appeared. The suspect claimed she 'just wanted to boast about Yuta's love,' but the mischievous smile she used to use back when she used to wrap Yuta around her finger flashed vividly in his mind. The comment was clearly intentional.
And of course, the representative party-animal of the first-years wasn't about to let such a juicy topic slide.
"Horse mackerel!? Pickles, rakugan, tree buds!?"
"Inumaki!? Is this guy the type to join in on the joke even more than Gojo-sensei!?"
"Zunda!!!! Boiled octopus, pickles, tuna, rice bowl, cucumber!!!!"
"What!? Yuta used his junk to... the Eurasian continent!? Amazing! Did you hear that, Kinji!?"
"What!? Okkotsu's junk is a Special Grade Cursed Tool, the 'Demonic Blade Star-Smasher'!?"
"That's not it, Panda! Even Hakari!? How did the rumors get this big this fast!?"
Because of Inumaki's shouting, people had gathered and the story had spiraled wildly out of control. For a while after this, Yuta would be burdened with the most dishonorable nicknames like 'Big Magnum' and 'Sex-calibur'.
However, the story didn't end there. A bit later, in the dorm baths, Hakari would pull away Yuta's waist towel while asking, "So, how is it really?" only to start calling him 'Lord Yuta,' 'Yuta-paisen,' and 'Big Brother Yuta.' This would cause the rumors to worsen and persist for a very long time, but that is a story for another day.
