The Culling Game Part 1

Episode 56
Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Part 3

Domain Expansion.

Deadly Sentencing.

A domain?!

Before he can activate his technique...

I'll defeat him!

All acts of violence are
prohibited in this space.

For both of us.

Both of us?

Oh, sorry.

Harmful remarks are the exception.

Judgeman, please begin.

Yuji Itadori

stands accused of entering
the Maji Vegas

pachinko parlor in Sendai City,
Miyagi Prefecture,

on July 16th, 2017, as a patron,

despite being under 18 at the time.

Huh?!

Oh.

Uh, well, um...

Judgeman knows everything about
those within this domain.

Um... Well...
Uh... See...

But don't worry.

That information isn't shared with me.

The verdict will be decided solely
by the arguments we present.

With the sole exception of this evidence.

Huh?! When did you...

This is the evidence provided
by Judgeman for this case.

There is no guarantee that this
will confirm the charges.

I also don't plan on
telling you what it is.

Knowing that, you must now present
your argument to clear suspicion

and win an innocent
verdict from Judgeman.

A court trial technique?

That badge!

So he really was a defense lawyer?

But isn't he acting like
the prosecutor here?

Higuruma is a modern man,

but this domain is like what
Tengen-sama mentioned.

Domains used to be a much more
standard skill for sorcerers in the past.

That's because

they lacked the "guaranteed k*ll" element

of most modern domains'
deadly guaranteed hit attacks.

Guaranteed-Hit,
Guaranteed-k*ll

Guaranteed-Hit

They simply guaranteed
that users' techniques

would hit the target in the domain.

You'll lose if you
go out of bounds.

That was the common function
of domains in the past.

Same if anything but your
soles touches the ground.

Huh?
Seriously?

By focusing too hard on the
"guaranteed k*ll" aspect,

sorcerers raised the bar on the
requirements for constructing a domain,

making it a more advanced skill
with fewer practitioners.

That means this domain
is founded on pacts

preventing lethality,
prohibiting physical harm,

and requiring some
explanation of its rules!

You get one chance to make a statement.

This also applies to both of us.

After your statement, I get one chance
to make my rebuttal using this evidence,

and then Judgeman announces his verdict
in accordance with the Six Codes.

What happens if I'm judged guilty?

Unfortunately, I have no obligation
to answer that question.

Instead, I'll at least tell you this.

You have three options:

silence,

Silence

Confession

confession,

Denial

or denial.

Your denial may include false statements.

You mean I can lie?

In court?

If everyone told the truth,

there would be no need for trials.

Now, make your argument.

Judgeman is not very patient.

I did go to that pachinko parlor,

and I totally played some games.
I think I even won some.

I can't avoid lying if I
want to claim innocence.

So naturally, what I
need to consider is...

what could be in that evidence!

There is no guarantee that this
will confirm the charges.

One:

if that evidence doesn't prove
I entered the pachinko parlor,

I just need to deny
it or remain silent.

No!

Itadori "No!"

Two:

if the evidence only
proves I entered it,

should I gamble on an excuse
that would earn leniency?

Itadori "I just borrowed their bathroom."

I just borrowed their bathroom.

Higuruma "So you did enter it, then!"

But if the evidence is a bust,

So you did enter it, then!

I might be digging my own grave
by admitting I entered it...

Y-Yes.

Itadori "Y-Yes..."

Three:

if the evidence proves I not only
entered it, but played the games,

I'm basically screwed.

I regret it.

Itadori "I regret it..."

Should I bet on confessing
to lighten my crime?

Does this court even offer
lighter or heavier punishments?

I entered the pachinko parlor Maji Vegas,

but only because I suddenly
needed to poop and

had no choice but to
borrow their bathroom!

Is that so?

I'm throwing out option 3!

I don't know if this court accepts
extenuating circumstances,

but this will leave the best impression!

I think!

My turn, then.

This is from the antique shop near
Maji Vegas on the day in question.

In essence, it's footage from the
security camera of a cash exchange.

Would you agree the appearance and
build all match Yuji Itadori here?

Since he just admitted
to entering the parlor,

this photo makes it clear his excuse
about the bathroom isn't worth believing.

One can determine that
despite being underage,

Itadori entered the parlor with
the intent to play the games.

What crime... would that be?

The parlor explicitly prohibits
minors from entering,

so criminal trespassing.

Penal Code, Article 130.

The Businesses Affecting
Public Morals Regulation Act

doesn't punish minors, after all.

That wasn't fair.

There was no way to talk my way out of it.

Should I have gone with option 3?

What are you talking about?

Japan prohibits gambling,

so parlors and cash exchanges
are separate legal entities.

Sometimes multiple
parlors even share one.

You were only on trial for
entry into Maji Vegas.

You simply needed to say,

"I don't recognize that parlor,"
and deny the charge.

Wait, we haven't heard the verdict yet.

Guilty.

"Guilty."

Confiscation.

"Confiscation."

I'm back where we were?

I was declared guilty,

but I don't feel any diff—

That's...

Not only can he make that gavel
appear and disappear at will,

he can alter its size, too?!

No, more importantly...

You're tough.

That's the one thing I have going for me.

I can't control cursed energy!

JUJUTSU KAISEN

Law apprenticeship period 59.

Iwate Bar Association's
Hiromi Higuruma, age 36.

He straightforwardly
cleared all obstacles,

like the entry exam to
Tokyo University's School of Law

and the old bar exam that preceded the
institution of the law school system.

To Higuruma, that was all a simple task

of inputting and outputting
the necessary knowledge.

His peers whispered that he was a genius.

Higuruma Law Office

Yet the gem that shone brightest

was his talent as a sorcerer.

His technique came with
his domain by default,

but through analyzing that, he also
learned the fundamentals of barriers.

Then, working backwards from barriers,

he intuitively grasped manipulating
cursed energy for physical enhancement,

and within twelve days of
awakening as a sorcerer,

he had grown to match Grade 1 sorcerers.

Before entering the Colony,
he exorcised many cursed spirits,

and struck down over twenty
Players who attacked him.

You lost the ability to
control cursed energy?

Didn't you do this?!

The penalty of Confiscation

makes it temporarily impossible
to use one's cursed technique.

I'm guessing you didn't
have a cursed technique?

That must be why the penalty

switched to blocking
the use of cursed energy.

Coincidentally, Confiscation

is generally a supplementary sentence
that's never imposed on its own.

It's terrifying to think about.

How can he hold his own against
me without cursed energy?

He's using his natural physical prowess,
not his might as a sorcerer.

He must have frighteningly
high physical durability.

Sorcerers often struggle with
basic cursed energy control

when they lose the use
of their technique.

Their instincts probably
dull over the long years.

But the complete inability to use cursed
energy is even more disadvantageous!

Yet it's true that he can fight
this well under these circumstances,

when my first strike would have settled
the battle against most foes.

If I'm not careful, he'll trip me up.

I'll crush him with my full might!

You're incredible!

It's like I'm fighting
an unbreakable doll.

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!

How long will this last?!

My cursed energy!
Hurry back to me, cursed energy!

This is such a strong ability!

There must be something!

Something that's a disadvantage
for Higuruma!

Think!

Think, think!

A technique for court trials...

Trials!

Higuruma!

I want a retrial!

One more time!

You figured it out?

That was close.

I-I get a second trial, right?

So long as the target judged guilty
and penalized by Judgeman

doesn't admit their guilt,

they're able to demand
up to two retrials.

Judgeman cannot refuse them.

All right, one more time!

Yuji Itadori

stands accused of mass m*rder

in Shibuya on October 31st, 2018.

Yeah, I k*lled them.

That's not a lie, and I won't deny it.

Guilty!

"Guilty."

Confiscation!

"Confiscation."

"Death Penalty."

Death Penalty!

Higuruma-kun.

Yoshizawa-san.

I've already submitted the proposal.

No, it's not about that.

I saw the documents.
They were wonderful.

Good enough to be used
as-is for sentencing.

You wanted to be either a public
prosecutor or a defense lawyer, right?

Yes.

What do you say?

Would you try aiming to become a judge?

The heaviest sentence
Judgeman can impose

"Executioner's Sword"

is the death penalty
accompanied by Confiscation.

Confiscation makes it impossible
to use their technique,

or in Itadori's case, his cursed energy,

and then Higuruma is granted
the Executioner's Sword.

Anyone cut by the Executioner's Sword

will, without exception, meet their death.

Empathizing with another's feelings

means understanding their weakness.

The weakness of victims,
the weakness of criminals.

Day after day after day...

I was so fed up.

"So ugly."

That's what I started to think every
time I tried to help someone.

You're the same, Itadori!

All people are weak and ugly!

No matter how much you long
for them to have noble souls!

There's nothing for you down that path!

The darkness before you is just that!

Even if you shine a light on it,

you'll just find blinding nothingness!

I'm sorry.

I won't become a judge.

I see.

May I ask why not?

All people are weak and ugly.

I'm not interested in promotions,
so I'm not cut out for it.

However!

At the time!

At least up until that moment!

I believed that very depravity,

which no other creature possessed,

was meant to be cherished!

Why?!

Yuji Itadori,

why did you admit guilt?!

The evidence that Judgeman submits

is shared with the sorcerer
before it is opened.

The evidence he provided

was about the demon harbored
inside you called Sukuna!

You didn't k*ll them!

So why?! Why?!

Hey!

Penal Code, Article 39, Clause 1.

Being deprived of either sound judgment

or control of one's actions
qualifies as non compos mentis.

In Shibuya, Sukuna had taken
control of your body.

How do you know about Sukuna?

In other words, you lacked
control of your actions.

You didn't voluntarily
surrender control, either.

In other words,

you're innocent.

You've committed no crime.

Even so, it's still my fault.

Because I was too weak.

I see.

Higuruma, why did you release
your technique earlier?

I returned to my roots.

Itadori, there may still be plenty
of people who are weak like you.

Put your clothes on.

Then have a seat.

I'll give you my 100 points.

Itadori.

Have you ever k*lled someone
of your own volition?

I have.

I see.

It felt absolutely awful, didn't it?

Kogane, add a rule.

Make it possible for Players
to transfer points.

Of course, this should count toward the
"change in points" mentioned in Rule 8.

Approved.


following information on other players:
name, points, number of
rules added, current Colony.

Rule 10:

Players are able to transfer a number of
points of their choosing to other Players.

Rule 10: Players are able to
transfer a number of points
of their choosing to other Players.

Kogane, give one of my points to Itadori.

As you wish.

You have been granted one
point by Hiromi Higuruma.

Now neither of us will have to worry

about our technique being
stripped for nineteen days.

Take care.

Higuruma!

What are you planning to do now?

You could help us if you're willing to.

My two remaining points are
from the judge and prosecutor

I k*lled before coming to Tokyo.

Once the barriers open up,
I think I might turn myself in.

Until then, I'll think
about what I should I do.

Besides, if I stay with you,

I'm likely to hate myself even more.

Sorry. I'm not criticizing you.

Later.

A new rule will be added soon.

...a number of points of their
choosing to other Players.

If you don't fight to k*ll...

You're okay with this?!

I don't want you as my Wi-Fi!

Hand over all of your points.
