FADE IN.

EXT. SHIBUYA CROSSING - NIGHT

Rain slicks the famous scramble. Vertical phone footage captures wet asphalt reflecting aggressive cyan and magenta neon from giant LED billboards. Scattered pedestrians freeze mid-stride under sodium lights. KENJI NAKAMURA, 24, slim build in faded gray hoodie and black cap, stands center frame gripping a gimbal rig. His crossbody bag bulges with power banks. Phone flash desaturates his pale skin.

KENJI
Chat, if this is another cosplay I’m ending stream.

A white figure materializes twenty meters away. Blindfold. White hair. Gojo. Opposite him, four arms unfold from shadow. Sukuna. The first domain expansion ripples the air. Streetlights bend. Purple cursed-energy flares oversaturate the frame for one jagged second before snapping back to neon normal.

KENJI (CONT'D)
...that’s not CGI.

Kenji keeps the lens locked. His right hand shows phone-grip calluses. Rain beads on the screen. Low-frequency phone vibration thrums through the audio feed. A single pedestrian vanishes into an invisible pocket of stillness.

KENJI (CONT'D)
No way. No fucking way.

Gojo shifts weight. Infinity warps incoming space. Sukuna’s cleave tears pavement in a silent black flash. The scramble empties in heartbeats. Vending machines reflect purple light that shouldn’t be there. Kenji’s breathing picks up through his mask, high-register Tokyo Japanese spilling fast.

KENJI (CONT'D)
You guys seeing this? The lights just bent. Like, actually bent.

Domain expansion mutes distant J-pop from earbuds. Only the tap of Kenji’s fingers on glass and the rain remain. Gojo’s white coat snaps in unnatural wind. Sukuna’s tattoos pulse once. Another ripple cracks the crosswalk. Kenji steps back half a meter but never lowers the gimbal.

KENJI (CONT'D)
If I don’t post it, did it even happen?

The view counter in his stream overlay jumps from 47 to 312 in real time. Kenji’s voice rises with rising inflection even as facts stay flat.

KENJI (CONT'D)
This is live. I’m not cutting. Chat, tell me you’re getting this.

A second black flash shears a lamppost. The top half hovers, then drops. Cursed purple leaks into the phone’s color profile again, bleeding past the edges of the frame. Kenji’s cap brim drips. He holds steady. The scramble is empty now except for the two figures and one mortal witness filming.

KENJI (CONT'D)
Okay. Okay. I’m staying on it.

The domain pulse widens. Rain stops falling in a perfect circle around the fighters. Kenji’s footage captures the unnatural stillness as the first real scream echoes from somewhere off-screen, already too late.

EXT. SHIBUYA CROSSING - NIGHT

Rain slicks the scramble. Cyan and magenta neon bleed across wet asphalt. KENJI NAKAMURA, 24, slim in a faded gray hoodie and black cap, stands with his gimbal rig held chest-high. The vertical phone screen glows against his mask. Scattered pedestrians linger at the edges, phones already raised.

He leans closer to the lens, voice low and quick.

KENJI
Chat, if this is another cosplay I’m ending stream.

Twenty meters ahead, a white figure steps forward. Blindfold. White hair catching the billboard light. GOJO. Opposite him, four arms unfold from shadow. Tattoos crawl across bare skin. SUKUNA. The air between them bends.

KENJI (CONT'D)
(whispering)
This is not CGI.

The first exchange cracks the pavement. Gojo’s Infinity ripples outward, warping streetlight halos into purple flares. Sukuna’s cleave slices a vending machine in half. The halves slide apart without sound. Kenji’s right hand tightens on the grip, calluses white. He keeps the frame steady, breath audible through the mask.

More cracks spider-web under their feet. A pedestrian vanishes mid-stride, swallowed by an invisible domain. The remaining crowd freezes, then scatters. Kenji shifts two steps left, lens still locked on the fighters. His power-bank bag bumps against his hip.

KENJI (CONT'D)
(whispering)
That’s not CGI.

Gojo lands a black flash. The impact lights the crossing in sudden oversaturated purple. Sukuna answers with a domain ripple that mutes every neon sign for three full seconds. Kenji’s screen flickers. He checks the battery icon, then recenters the shot.

Rain keeps falling. The fighters trade another exchange. Pavement buckles. Kenji stays planted, gimbal locked, whispering into the mask while the view counter in the corner of his phone begins to climb.

INT. KENJI'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Six-tatami room, blackout cloth taped over the single window. Three monitors glow on the floor in a triangle of blue light. Power strips snake across the tatami, their LEDs pulsing in a low hum. KENJI NAKAMURA sits cross-legged in a faded gray hoodie, black cap pulled low, right hand cramped around a mouse. The crossbody bag of power banks rests beside him like a second torso.

On the center monitor, shaky vertical footage plays on loop: rain-slick Shibuya Crossing at 00:17, neon reflecting off wet asphalt. A white figure steps into frame. Kenji scrubs the timeline, slowing the moment the blindfold appears. He leans closer, phone flash still active on his gimbal rig propped against the wall.

KENJI (V.O.)
If I don’t post it, did it even happen?

He pastes the clip into a new sequence, adds a quick caption overlay in English: “real or CGI? Shibuya rn”. His left hand drums the tatami in a restless rhythm. A second monitor shows his streaming dashboard, chat window already scrolling with question marks. Kenji’s knee bounces. He zooms in on the four-armed shadow forming behind the white figure.

KENJI (V.O.)
Chat’s gonna lose it.

He exports the 47-second file. The render bar crawls forward. Kenji pulls his mask down, exhales, and watches the cursed purple flare flicker once across the footage before the export finishes.

INT. KENJI'S APARTMENT - DAY

Rain-slick asphalt black still clings to the window blackout cloth. Three monitors on the floor cast a low blue glow across six tatami mats. Power strips snake between them, their LEDs pulsing steady green. Kenji Nakamura kneels in the center, slim build hunched, black cap pulled low over unkempt hair. His faded gray hoodie is half-zipped, crossbody bag open beside him like a gutted fish. He plugs another power bank into the strip. The low hum of chargers fills the room.

KENJI
Chat says the last vlog only hit twelve K? I walked the scramble for forty minutes.

He taps the keyboard. A chat window scrolls fast on the center monitor. Kenji leans closer, pale skin washed cyan by the screen.

KENJI (CONT'D)
Engagement is down because you guys keep asking for face reveals. I'm not doing that. The mask stays on.

A new line pops up. He reads it aloud, voice rising at the end like a question even though it's a statement.

KENJI (CONT'D)
"Show the power banks again"? Bro, I already did that three streams ago. You want content or you want me to sell chargers on Mercari?

He yanks another cable, checks the charge percentage, then tosses the bank into his bag. The bag already bulges with spares. He stands, gimbal rig leaning against the wall. His right hand flexes, calluses catching the light.

KENJI (CONT'D)
Fine. I'll hit the crossing at two a.m. again. But if the numbers don't climb, I'm switching to reaction videos. Your loss.

Kenji slings the bag across his chest, grabs the gimbal, and shoulders the door open. Neon from the hallway leaks in for one frame before the door shuts. The monitors keep humming.

EXT. SHIBUYA CROSSING - NIGHT

Rain slicks the famous scramble. Cyan and magenta neon from the giant LED billboards ripples across the wet asphalt in long streaks. A few late pedestrians cross in ones and twos, their reflections stretching and breaking underfoot. KENJI NAKAMURA, 24, slim in a faded gray hoodie and black cap, walks the center of the crosswalk with a gimbal rig extended. His crossbody bag bulges with power banks. The phone scree
