Two chapters ago when Kogane showed info on the players, it said that Itadori was already in Tokyo No. 2 Colony. That was an error.

I’m interested in doing the Shikoku pilgrimage of the 88 temples. But with my current stamina, I’d probably only make it to one.

I suddenly wanted a Super Cub motorcycle, but I gave up after realizing there’s nowhere to go and I don’t have the time.
