The "King of Curses" takes this opportunity to hold Yuji’s life hostage. In a chilling display of cruelty, Sukuna rips out Yuji's heart, ensuring that if Yuji does regain control, he will immediately die. To solidify his dominance, Sukuna consumes another of his fingers before turning his sights on Megumi Fushiguro. JujutsuKaisen_Ep_05_ITA.mp4

In the end, Yuji manages to switch back just long enough to share a final smile and a request for his friends to "live a long life" before succumbing to his wounds.
