1. Synopsis of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 Episode 17

Episode 17, titled "Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event - Group Battle 3", continues the excitement of the Jujutsu school exchange event. The main focus of this episode is the intense battle between the Jujutsu sorcerers from Tokyo and Kyoto, particularly involving strong female characters.

The fight begins with Miwa underestimating Maki Zenin due to her lack of cursed energy, but quickly realizes her mistake as Maki easily defeats her. Maki showcases her skills in using cursed tools, even managing to break Miwa's spear and take her sword. This scene impresses Mei Mei and Satoru Gojo, with Gojo even suggesting that Maki be promoted.

On the other hand, Nobara Kugisaki is engaged in a fight against Momo Nishimiya, who uses a flying broom and wind energy. Momo argues that female sorcerers must always appear "pretty" and face immense pressure, especially from Mai Zenin. However, Nobara rejects this viewpoint, asserting that there is no difference between men and women as long as one does what they love, and she enjoys being both strong and beautiful.

Nobara uses the "Straw Doll Technique: Hairpin" to attack Momo, causing an explosion of cursed energy from the nails she scattered. After Momo falls, Nobara prepares to defeat her with a toy hammer, but Mai Zenin suddenly appears and shoots Nobara with cursed energy-infused rubber bullets.

Mai's arrival triggers a more intense battle between the Zenin twin sisters, Maki and Mai. Through a flashback, the complex history and deep rivalry between the two in the Zenin clan is revealed. Mai feels bitter because Maki's ambition forces her to stay in the clan and be made into a sorcerer, while Maki goes to pursue her dream of becoming a powerful sorcerer.

Maki successfully dodges six bullets fired by Mai, even catching the seventh bullet with her hand, showcasing her extraordinary physical strength. A frustrated Mai blames Maki for having the super physical talent that she does not possess, a talent that their family has rejected. In the end, Maki defeats Mai, who admits that she never wanted to be a sorcerer and just wanted to live a simple life.
