__TOC__
== History ==
At some point in the past, Atsuya's nephew died and Masamichi Yaga created a cursed corpse made out of Atsuya's nephew's soul information, because his younger sister wouldn't have been able to live without Takeru's support. Masamichi tells him that he hated doing what he had done but Atsuya assures him that he's grateful.
==Synopsis==
===Shibuya Incident Arc===
On October 31, Atsuya is with Panda at Jr Shibuya Station Shin Minami Entrance while Satoru Gojo heads into the screen. Atsuya talks with Panda about their role on this mission, and how they have to keep all damage down to a minimum level. When Panda voices his concern about the citizens, Atsuya tells him that he took a peek inside and that all the people were fine. Atsuya also says that he won't head back in since he had sensed that there are a bunch of special grade curses inside of the Curtain.
Later, when the civilians are being attacked by mutated humans, Atsuya and Panda head into the screen to protect the people. After entering the screen, Atsuya along with the others hear Yuji Itadori shout that Gojo has been sealed. Atsuya and Panda continue to search for humans in danger, even when Toge Inumaki has it handled. When Panda says that they should go help Gojo, Atsuya convinces Panda that they should continue searching for people in danger since they are just as important. Atsuya then thinks about how he is running out of excuses and that they will have to enter the station soon. Atsuya then plans to pretend to be lost in the station so that he won't have to enter the basement, since he doesn't want to be killed. When Atsuya and Panda are confronted by Toshihisa Negi and Manami Suda, who asks them to leave, Atsuya says that he can't just leave and wants to hear their story. After the two explain themselves, Atsuya decides to fight the two and take his time to avoid fighting any special grade cursed spirits. As Atsuya prepares to fight, he is shocked when he notices Sukuna's fight with Jogo.
Atsuya and Panda start to escape but are confronted by Toshihisa and Suda. Atsuya takes out the enemies, and starts to warn the others when Sukuna shows up. Sukuna threatens them to not move until he says so, which Atsuya escapes when Sukuna tells them to go. Atsuya later is found by Panda who's under a pile of rubble. Atsuya talks to Panda about how he thinks Yuji Itadori deserves the death penalty no matter what happens to Gojo.
Atsuya later arrives just in time to save Kasumi Miwa from Pseudo-Geto from using Maximum: Uzumaki and killing her. When Choso arrives on the battlefield and confronts Pseudo-Geto about being his father, this which leaves Momo Nishimiya confused as to what Choso meant. Utahime Iori then explains to Momo about how Noritoshi Kamo was the blot of the Kamo family and also was known as the most evilest sorcerer in history. Something Atsuya agrees with considering how his cursed technique allows for one to enter other's bodies, along with ridiculously powerful cursed tools and barrier techniques.
Uraume later uses Frost Calm and Atsuya is rendered frozen and unable to move. When Uraume suddenly collapses and their Frost Calm dispels, Atsuya is freed who thinks to himself about how he wants to go home.
===Perfect Preparation Arc===
While Panda is in a room filled with seals with his hands bound together, Atsuya cuts the ropes bounding his hands together with his katana as Panda asks if he's okay with it. Atsuya tells him not to tell anyone that he was responsible for freeing him as Panda says that he was used as bait to lure out Masamichi. Atsuya tells him that he owes Masamichi before telling him to go on.
===Shinjuku Showdown Arc===
Following Satoru Gojo's unsealing on November 19, and his agreement to fight Sukuna on December 24th, the Jujutsu sorcerer's began to use this month to train. Back at Jujutsu High, Kusakabe explained to Yuji that due to Sukuna taking over his body and utilizing advanced cursed techniques his own body remembered and picked up on it, and with that logic Ui Ui's cursed technique of swapping souls would be helpful in memorizing the basics of cursed energy manipulation, barrier techniques, and Simple Domain that Kusakabe would be teaching to him. Kusakabe trained with Yuji (Who were both swapped into the other's bodies through Ui Ui's cursed technique), with Kusakabe gaining the upper hand on him telling Yuji to master his training already. During the month leading up to the fight Kusakabe and the sorcerers discussed who should deal with Kenjaku, with Kusakabe counting himself out as he wasnt qualified with Mei Mei mockingly agreeing, Angel suggested that Fumihiko Takaba be sent. On the day of the fight Kusakabe along with his fellow sorcerers saw Gojo off as he prepared to face Sukuna. Back at headquarters Kusakabe watched the fight on the big screen along with his fellow sorcerers, commenting on the Domain Amplification used by Sukuna, he demonstrated the impossibility of not closing domain barriers by having Miwa throw water at him without the bottle. Yuji questioned if it was possible to destroy Malevolent Shrine but Kusakabe explained the domain manifestations and expressed surprise that Gojo stopped healing his body in order to heal his burnt out cursed energy.. When Gojo used Falling Blossom Emotion, Kusakabe and Panda explained that it functioned as an anti-domain technique, using cursed energy control to repel anyone who touches the former. After Gojo and Sukuna formed a tiny Domain Kusakabe contrasts the differences of barriers akin to other sorcerers like Kinji Hakari and Hiromi Higuruma, and goes on to speculate with Mei Mei that it was done to enclose malevolent shrines range, after the domain collapsed Kusakabe immediately asked Miwa and the other students if they knew how much time the barrier was up. 
Kusakabe was surprised on how Gojo could casually destroy his brain with cursed energy then healing it with reverse cursed technique to reset burned out techniques and even more so when Sukuna's domain collapsed suffering damage to the brain. Kusakabe went on to ask how many students took a hit from Gojo (with four admitting they didnt but tried to punch him), Yuta and Hakari reveal that Gojo applied limitless onto them, coming to the conclusion Gojo must have used "Azure" to boost his punches with cursed energy, unsure of what Gojo would do next When Sukuna summoned Mahoraga, Yuta wanted to join the fight to aid Gojo, however Kusakabe and Mei Mei opted against it as him getting involved with more enemy's on standby would hinder Gojo and trigger Sukuna into unleashing more trouble on them, though he was notbly worried when Mahoraga struck Gojo with a slash attack. Ultimately Yuta thanked Kuskabe for his sound judgement as Gojo managed to release a hollow purple severely injuring Sukuna, due to regaining reverse cursed technique output. 
However, Sukuna killed Gojo with a world cutting slash and Kashimo shortly after forcing Kusakabe and the other sorcerer into action. Kusakabe used Simple Domain to protect Higuruma from Sukuna's slashes, vowing he would protect him with his life as his cursed technique would be the easiest way to kill Sukuna. When Sukuna was given authority to activate the merger with Tengen and humanity, Kusakabe despaired as it would leave a worse outcome than Sukuna merely existing as a monster within Japan's borders. Later though due to Yuta's arrival Kusakabe and Takuma went over the preparations to have Maki pick up Split Soul Katana, enter Yuta's domain entrapping Sukuna, and launch surprise attack on Sukuna while his guard was down. While Maki and Sukuna fought, Kusakabe and Takuma attempted to suprise attack him while he was in a building, though he dispatched Takuma, and prevented Kusakabe from striking him with Nanami's cursed tool. After Maki was defeated by Sukuna, Kusakabe thought to himself horrified that he was the last one standing and how he would have to be the one to fight Sukuna now. 
Kusakabe activates his Simple domain: Evening Moon Sword Drawing to intercept incoming slashes from Sukuna, and noted that one of them was launched without any hand signs from the King of curses. Kusakabe realizes Sukuna will attempt to use the world cutting slash dismantle next and goes on the offensive and piles on pressure to Sukuna, thinking to himself on why hes fighting so hard, relaying it back to owing Yaga even after his death. Kusakabe further thought to himself on how even if Yaga was alive and did not stop him from fleeing to see his younger sister and Takeru, the idea Yaga would feel sad not being able to fight alongside him troubled Kusakabe, he then resolves himself to finish things with Sukuna knowing full well that Miwa and his students would be killed if he fled, Kusakabe then activates Hazy Moon in an attempt to pierce Sukuna's heart but the blade is easily caught by Sukuna, who the proceeds to slash through Kusakabe defeating him. Kusakabe's body was then rescued by Larue before Sukuna could slash through him and Ui Ui, with the young sorcerer presumably teleporting him back to headquarters.
