Vortex Gaming

· On the 11th day of the Culling Game, four powerful individuals—Dolb, Ryu Ishigori, Takako Uro, and Kurourushi—were present in the Miyagi Sendai Colony.
· They were locked in a stalemate due to the compatibility of their Cursed Techniques, which slowed down the progression despite stronger sorcerers participating than in the Tokyo Colony.

Strongest	Cursed Technique	Disadvantageous Matchup	Reason for Disadvantage
Ryu Ishigori	Cursed Energy Cannon	Takako Uro	Can reflect blasts
Takako Uro	Sky Manipulation (Blast Reflection)	Kurourushi	Controls many cockroaches
Kurourushi	Cockroach Manipulation, Domain Expansion	Dolb	Domain damage in areas where Shikigami pass
Dolb	Shikigami Manipulation	Ryu Ishigori	Shikigami can be destroyed by Cursed Energy Cannon

· Yuta Okkotsu broke the stalemate by dealing with Dolb, who was indiscriminately destroying buildings and slaughtering civilians.
· With Dolb's survival as a condition, Kurourushi, who had been dormant, awakened and began attacking civilians.
· Yuta encountered Kurourushi while evacuating civilians and realized that Kurourushi's cockroaches were enhanced with Cursed Energy.
· Yuta had Rika drop a culvert to block the cockroaches and then released Cursed Energy to eliminate them.
· In the battle against Kurourushi, Yuta swiftly severed Kurourushi's arm, but tried to hide his use of Reverse Cursed Technique as Ishigori and Uro were watching.
· Kurourushi attacked Yuta using 'Tochujutsu' and 'Nanseido', implanting cockroach eggs into Yuta's body to create an opening.
· Yuta grabbed Kurourushi's head and outputted Reverse Cursed Technique through his mouth, killing Kurourushi.

· Realizing Yuta had used Reverse Cursed Technique, Uro and Ishigori began attacking him.
· Uro attacked Yuta with her 'Cursed Technique to Grasp the Sky as a Surface', revealing that she was once part of the Fujiwara clan's direct assassination squad but was revived due to regret after being framed for kin-slaying and executed.
· Ishigori launched a surprise 'Granite Blast', and a three-way battle began as Yuta sought to protect civilians, and Uro, annoyed by Ishigori, tried to hunt him down.
· Yuta used a hole created by Rika to evade Ishigori's Cursed Energy Cannon and close in for an attack.
· Yuta was pushed back by Ishigori's high Cursed Energy output, and Uro delivered an additional blow from behind.
· Ishigori fired a blast at Uro for interfering with his fight, but Uro reflected it.
· Yuta was nearing complete Cursed Energy depletion from continuous use of Reverse Cursed Technique.

· Yuta fully manifested Rika, who was protecting non-sorcerers, bringing her into the battle and recovering his Cursed Energy.
· Currently, when Rika connects with Yuta via his ring, she can fully manifest for a period, allowing him to use copied Cursed Techniques and receive Cursed Energy supply from her.
· This connection lasts for only 5 minutes, and Yuta had to defeat Uro and Ishigori within this time.
· Yuta used Cursed Speech (Cursed Technique) to restrain Uro's movements and attack her, while entrusting Ishigori to Rika.
· Yuta used his hair as a medium to copy and use Dolb's Cursed Technique (Shikigami), whom he had killed earlier.
· Thus, the three powerful individuals—Yuta, Ishigori, and Uro—gathered in one place, intensifying the three-way battle.

· Ishigori and Uro deployed their Domains to prevent Rika's intrusion, and Yuta also deployed his Domain in response.
· Rika was hit by Ishigori and thrown far away, unable to enter the Domain, but Rika Orimoto's will refused to be separated from Yuta, increasing her output even further.
· Kurourushi (Cursed Spirit), who had completed asexual reproduction before falling dormant, re-entered the Domain, creating a complex four-way battle.
· The Domain battle, already more complex with three individuals than two, combined with the condition reversal to prevent Rika's intrusion, and the unexpected re-entry of an intruder, caused all three Domains to collapse.
· At the moment of Domain collapse, Uro's attention was diverted to Kurourushi, who was a disadvantageous matchup, and Yuta seized this opportunity to attack Uro.
· Uro, whose Cursed Technique was burnt out and difficult to use immediately after Domain Expansion, had her arm severed by Kurourushi's Nanseido, and Rika consumed that arm.

· Ishigori was still able to use his Cursed Technique because it was a technique that released Cursed Energy, even if it was burnt out immediately after Domain Expansion.
· Ishigori fired blasts at both Uro and Kurourushi simultaneously, incapacitating Uro and exorcising Kurourushi.
· Yuta's Cursed Technique had not recovered immediately after Domain Expansion, but he could still use high-output directed Cursed Energy release, which is only possible during Rika's full manifestation.
· Yuta's heart was moved by Ishigori's burning gaze, proportional to his 400 years of longing and thirst, and he engaged in a head-on confrontation.
· Yuta attacked simultaneously with Rika's blast, and Ishigori deflected the blast.
· Yuta used Uro's Cursed Technique (Sky Manipulation), which Rika had copied by eating Uro's arm, to redirect Ishigori's blast upwards.
· Yuta grabbed Ishigori's clothes and, using Uro's Cursed Technique, spun the trajectory of Ishigori's blast, hitting Ishigori with his own attack and securing victory.

· Yuta Okkotsu did not kill Ishigori and Uro, instead taking their points and acquiring a total of 190 points.
· The Culling Game's highest-scoring Four Strongest battle was incredibly exciting to rewatch in the manga.
