On November 12, 2018, at 11:28 AM, in the Sendai Colony of the Culling Game, the four-way deadlock between Kurourushi, Dhruv, Ryu Ishigori, and Takako Uro was broken by the intrusion of Yuta Okkotsu. After Dhruv was slain by Yuta Okkotsu, Kurourushi, who had been dormant due to the threat of Dhruv's presence, awakened. It controlled a massive swarm of cockroaches to devour and bite the refugees saved by Yuta, subsequently engaging in a duel with him. After several rounds of simple and brutal hand-to-hand combat and minor skirmishes with cockroaches, the two began a blade-to-blade confrontation. Unexpectedly, Kurourushi's "Fester Life Blade" could fire eggs; Yuta was distracted by the larvae biting his shoulder and took a direct slash to the abdomen from Kurourushi. Just as everyone thought the battle was decided, Yuta lunged forward, bit Kurourushi's mouth, and continuously outputted positive cursed energyIt was me, Okkotsu!, and grabbed its head off in one go; Kurourushi was thus defeated.
As Yuta, Ishigori, and Uro expanded their Domains simultaneously, that black demon, which should have been reduced to ashes, suddenly appeared within the barrierOkkotsu, I have returned from hell—It turns out that Kurourushi had completed parthenogenesis before entering dormancy. Once the mother Kurourushi was exorcised, its offspring would once again receive the power of curses from all over Japan—in other words, Kurourushi as a player had already been exorcised, but Kurourushi as a Cursed Spirit was right before their eyes. The clash between the three and the intrusion of Kurourushi caused the Domains to collapse in an instant. Because Uro's attributes were countered by Kurourushi, she tried to activate her Cursed Technique but was caught off guard by Kurourushi due to technique burnout after Domain Expansion. Larvae bursting from the "Fester Life Blade" bit off Uro's right arm alive, and "Rika" immediately swallowed the severed arm—Ryu Ishigori, who had just finished a cigarette, no longer wanted to play with these uninvited guests who came to the table to enjoydessert()anymore, and directly launched a "Granite Blast," blowing away both Kurourushi and Uro. Uro was heavily injured and unconscious, while Kurourushi barely survived with only half its body remaining. However, a hand grabbing its skull declared its unavoidable fate; Yuta used Reverse Cursed Technique to directly diffuse positive cursed energy outwardIt looked just like using insecticide, exorcising Kurourushi once again.
