Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc
Momo arrives at Tokyo Jujutsu High and meets Nobara and the other Tokyo students.

During the event, Momo is greeted by Panda and Nobara after landing in a tree. Momo tells Nobara that principal Yoshinobu Gakuganji wants the Kyoto students to kill Yuji Itadori. Momo insults Yuji while justifying Mai Zenin's behaviours which prompts Nobara to insult Mai. This upsets Momo, who then decides to teach Nobara a lesson. While fighting, she keeps out of Nobara's reach, as Nobara is a mid-range fighter, and attacks her from a distance. Momo also uses her broom to land a blow on Nobara's face, which angers Nobara.

Momo then explains that women sorcerers are expected to be flawless, both physically and skill-wise. She then tells Nobara tha men who are sorcerers do not face this type of discrimination. Her speech causes Nobara to get angrier. Nobara rejets Momo's excuse for Mai's behaviour as she doesn't believe people are excused just because they had a difficult life. She tells Momo to consider the kind of person Yuji was before condemning him, citing that life isn't just a job.

Momo continues to be cautious and makes sure to keep her distance from Nobara and manages to dodge Nobara's attack. Momo explains to Nobara what it means to be a sorcerer in the Zenin clan and what Mai had to live through. Nobara sends her nails towards the trees, which proceed to fall down on Momo, however Momo evades them. Momo kicks Nobara away and distances herself when Nobara manages to get close to her. Nobara obtains a straw from Momo's broom and uses her technique on it, which causes Momo to lose control of her broom. Afterwards, Momo is attacked multiple times by Nobara with a squeaky hammer. Just as Nobara is about to knock Momo unconscious, Mai shoots Nobara forcing her to fall down.

When the attack by the Disater Curses is over, Momo and Nobara agree to continue the Kyoto Goodwill Event along with the other students. they attend a game of baseball where Momo plays for the Kyoto team and Nobara for the Tokyo team. Momo is even allowed to use her Tool Manipulation technique which Nobara and the other Tokyo students think is cheating. After the event is over, and Tokyo wins, Momo heads back to Kyoto.
