The fifth part of the Tokyo Colony arc is set to focus on Higuruma's backstory and his journey so far inside the barrier.

A Twitter user named Ducky has shared the summary of the upcoming chapter. "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 165 opens with the narrator revealing how 36-year-old Higuruma, a member of the Iwate Bar Association, cleared his entrance exams and his bar exam without breaking a sweat.

He is often called a genius but Higuruma doesn't pay any heed to such praises from his colleagues. Apart from his law, he also shines in the sorcery department.

He has learned how barrier techniques works and from that, he has reverse-engineered the idea of manipulating cursed energy.

In the 12 days since he got to know about his technique, he has become as strong as a Grade 1 sorcerer. Before entering the colony, he exorcized several curses and killed more than 20 people.

Higuruma and Itadori are both outside the Domain Expansion. He asks Itadori if he can no longer manipulate his cursed energy. He adds that Confiscation takes away a person's ability to use their cursed technique.

Itadori doesn't have any cursed technique and Higuruma is impressed by his opponent's ability to keep up with him despite not being able play with his cursed energy.

Higuruma vows to completely annihilate Itadori before the latter bounces back. The battle begins and Itadori pushes the bathtub into Higuruma who manages to smash it. Anticipating an attack, Itadori goes into defensive mode and a massive end of Higuruma's gavel swings at Itadori.

He attempts to crush Itadori into the ground. He is feeling the heat and is trying to find Higuruma's weakness. Itadori still cannot use any cursed energy.

He finally figures the connection between Higuruma and Judgeman. Itadori requests for a retrial and they are instantly transported back into the domain.

Judgeman appears and reads the charges against Itadori. He states that Itadori allegedly committed mass killings in Shibuya on Oct. 31, 2018. And this time, Itadori decides to accept it. He announces he killed them.

"Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 165 ends with Judgeman declaring Itadori guilty and his punishment is Confiscation – a death sentence.

"Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 165 is scheduled for release Sunday.
