Yuan Shanxiao was just an ordinary person who would jump three feet high in fright at the sight of a bug. Then one day, he crossed over into the Jujutsu x War…
When he saw a curse spirit, he was so scared he almost poked his own eyes out. When he saw a villain, he bolted before they could even say a word. After discovering that he had a technique that allowed for long-distance spatial teleportation—
“Reporting to Gojo-sensei, GPS shows that Yuan Shanxiao has teleported to the Southern Hemisphere again!”
Before regaining his manga memories, the only thing that gave Yuan Shanxiao any comfort was that his mentor in this world was the strongest being around.
So even though the curse spirits in this world were terrifying, and the curse users were equally terrifying, he managed to calm down by printing out a poster of his white-haired teacher and sticking it on the door for protection, stuffing his room full of merchandise of the strongest teacher, completely becoming the most devoted fan of his most powerful mentor.
Until he regained his manga memories—
He realized that his only sense of security had been sealed away…
What?! Everyone else who crosses over gets to land in the Golden Age arc, so why is it that when I wake up, it’s right at the Shibuya Incident where Gojo gets sealed?!
The high school for jujutsu sorcery had a strange new student. He seemed to be from the normal human world, possessing a technique that let him see curse spirits, but when Gojo brought him to the school, he clung to a pillar crying and refusing to go. “No— I don’t want anything to do with curse spirits! They’re too scary!!”
The white-haired teacher: …
Gojo, having noticed that the boy’s technique wasn’t ordinary, thought, “Well, I’ve already got enough problem students, one more won’t make a difference.”
Just as Gojo was about to play a movie to teach the boy how to control his emotions and manipulate cursed energy—
The boy had already disappeared.
“…Seriously?! Even a melodrama scares you??”
Gojo knew that this boy, who was scared to the point of wanting to flee from this curse-filled world at any moment, was special, with a powerful technique, but an excessive level of fear. So in order to recruit this “ridiculously powerful yet overly timid” kid, Gojo had to use a series of brainwashing tactics.
“Huh? Is there anywhere in the world safer than by my side?”
“Do you even know who’s standing right next to you?”
“I’m the strongest— get it? Only I can protect you. Without me, you’d run into a cockroach curse spirit the moment you step out the door.”
The brainwashing worked like a charm. The random signed posters, ID photos, and even used water cups Gojo gave him were treated like sacred objects by the boy, who placed them on his windowsill as protection (against evil). The entire school soon thought the boy was Gojo’s biggest fan.
However, it seemed the brainwashing worked too well. Gojo never imagined that in the 21st century, anyone would actually fall for the old “without me, you’ll die” trick, but the boy genuinely believed it out of sheer terror—
Gojo-sensei is the strongest. If I leave Gojo-sensei, I’ll be killed by a curse spirit.
When Gojo found out about the boy’s thoughts,
Even though he knew it wasn’t possible, Gojo joked, “Huh? What if one day I’m no longer the strongest?”
The boy immediately looked over.
“That day will never come.”
Gojo wanted to say something else, but the boy spoke again.
“Because I’ll kill whoever makes Gojo-sensei no longer the strongest.”
Gojo didn’t take those words seriously. This boy, who wouldn’t even exorcise a curse spirit, and only knew how to run, would never draw a sword.
But during the Shibuya Incident, when everyone was fighting desperately and Gojo was sealed in the Prison Realm,
The boy who had completely lost the sense of security brought by the strongest went on a terror-fueled rampage.
Like a horror movie protagonist, he fled, yet still managed to fight and defeat four special-grade curse spirits in a row, seizing the Prison Realm from Brain Geto’s hands.
Finally, with his manga memories restored, the boy clutched the Prison Realm that had sealed the strongest.
Facing Sukuna, standing in his way, he finally heard the cold voice inside his mind:
Fear value maxed out.
And thus, calamity descended.
Fear turned into the essence of terror itself.
After defeating Sukuna, surely he could live a happy life!
Like a hero after defeating the demon king, Yuan Shanxiao grinned, imagining his fear value reset to zero and happily escaping to the Golden Age to hang out with his strongest teacher.
But then—
“You reincarnated just to fight Sukuna, so pack up your things. Haven’t you noticed that Sukuna has fought his way from being the strongest in Shinjuku to the strongest in kindergarten? And you, a graduate student, still dare to run away from this fight? It’s your turn to fight Sukuna again.”
Yuan Shanxiao pointed to himself in confusion: Huh? Me?
I just fought him, now me again?
“This time is different, this is the enhanced Plus Edition. Master of Spatial Slashes, Full-Power Sukuna.”
Yuan Shanxiao: …Is there a popsicle living inside Sukuna or what? Who exactly is living in Sukuna that we have to keep fighting him?
Yuan Shanxiao was just about to run away, planning to jump out the window to end it all, when he heard—
But the strongest you trusted has already been—
…
Fear value reset to zero, only to max out again in an instant.
Everyone thought that after the strongest had died, his cowardly student, no matter what anyone said, would step up in this crucial moment, just like before, like when he saved everyone in Shibuya, standing alone on the battlefield, shouldering the burden, defeating Sukuna—taking up the mantle and saving the world.
That cowardly monster did indeed come back alone, stepping forward at the critical moment.
With his head down, shaking, in the world where the strongest had been destroyed.
And he destroyed this world that no longer had its strongest.
The protagonist is extremely selfish, has no moral bottom line, and is not a good person. Will truly destroy the world.
The protagonist is unaware of his hidden ruthless side and is a genius strategist but outwardly appears like a coward.
CP285. The romance line starts after adulthood.
Not a brainless power-fantasy story, but the protagonist is the strongest in both intelligence and power.
Humorous, OOC (Out of Character), lots of memes and jokes. Apologies in advance for the silly and dark humor, possibly a 1:1 ratio of both.
Multi-loop timeline. Order of events: Shibuya Incident – Return to Golden Age – Shinjuku Final Battle – HE (Happy Ending) world where everyone survives.
After Shibuya, involves lots of manga spoilers. Spoiler warning.
Lighthearted daily life → Loop 1: Pre-Shibuya Incident and Loop 4: HE world.
Final HE, Loop 4 is the timeline where everyone survives.
