Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 118: Collapse of Time – Gojo vs Ishiguro Begins
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 118 delivers what fans have been waiting for—the first strike in the long-anticipated clash between Gojo Satoru and Ishiguro Reien, the resurrected legend whose very presence twists the modern Jujutsu world.
The chapter opens inside the decaying temple where the two titans finally meet. The tension is palpable. Ishiguro, barefoot and grinning, warns Gojo:
“I was sealed when time obeyed the soul. Now, I will make it obey again.”
Without further delay, Ishiguro activates his Cursed Technique: Yūkai Jikugan—loosely translated as “Gravitational Time Reverence.” The effect? A warped time bubble forms around the battlefield, where seconds stretch into minutes, and movements echo before they’re made. Even Gojo’s Six Eyes struggle to process the pre-attack sequences.
Gojo opens with Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, attempting to collapse the temporal space around Ishiguro, but the ancient sorcerer redirects it—using reverse-temporal layering to mirror Gojo’s attack from an earlier point in the fight.
For the first time in a long while, Gojo is genuinely challenge.
Meanwhile, outside the domain, Yuta, Maki, and Shoko monitor the fight’s cursed signature. Shoko remarks:
“This isn’t just two powers clashing. This is the past refusing to stay buri.”
The highlight panel features Gojo pushed back, blood dripping, smiling wide:
“So you bend time like I bend space… Good. I was get bore.”
The final page hints at Gojo preparing something new—a fusion of Hollow Purple and Reversed Cursed Energy, whispered under his breath as:
“The Eye of Collapse.”
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 118 marks the beginning of a god-tier confrontation. Gege Akutami isn’t just giving us a fight—he’s building a myth. A war of ideologies and eras, power and purpose. And it’s just getting start.
