In the latest developments of Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji Itadori has unlocked his Domain Expansion, setting the stage for an epic confrontation with the King of Curses, Sukuna. This pivotal moment, revealed in chapter 264, marks a significant turning point in the series, as Yuji’s newfound abilities could be the key to finally defeating Sukuna and rescuing his friend, Megumi Fushiguro.
Yuji’s Ascension: Mastering Domain Expansion
Chapter 264 of Jujutsu Kaisen highlights a monumental moment in Yuji Itadori’s journey as a sorcerer. Having steadily gained power throughout the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Yuji has now reached new heights with the mastery of Domain Expansion—considered the pinnacle of Jujutsu Sorcery. This development is crucial as Yuji prepares to confront Sukuna within his own domain, a clash that fans have eagerly anticipated.
Yuji’s domain is not just an expansion of his physical power, but also a manifestation of the various cursed techniques he has acquired. Among these are Blood Manipulation, which grants him the ability to use attacks like Convergence and Piercing Blood, and the Shrine technique, which gives him access to Cleave and Dismantle. These techniques are eerily similar to Sukuna’s own abilities but are distinctly unique in how Yuji employs them.
The Battle Within: Yuji vs. Sukuna
As Yuji faces off against Sukuna within his domain, the stakes have never been higher. The battle is expected to be intense, with Yuji likely to utilize every ounce of his power, including the Sure-Hit technique of his Domain Expansion. Although fans have yet to see the full extent of Yuji’s domain, its initial appearance—resembling a train station—suggests a deeply personal connection to Yuji’s psyche, possibly giving him an edge over Sukuna.
The upcoming chapters are set to explore this confrontation in depth, with Yuji aiming to land a devastating blow on Sukuna that could potentially end the King of Curses’ reign of terror. Even if Sukuna is not permanently defeated, this battle may be pivotal in freeing Megumi from Sukuna’s control, marking a significant victory for Yuji and his allies.
The Return of Megumi Fushiguro
Megumi Fushiguro’s return is another critical plot point that fans are eagerly awaiting. As Yuji’s battle with Sukuna intensifies, the likelihood of Megumi regaining control over his body increases. This could signal the end of the Shinjuku Showdown Arc and bring the series closer to its conclusion.
If Yuji succeeds in separating Sukuna from Megumi, it would not only save his friend but also set the stage for the final phase of the series. Whether this results in Sukuna’s defeat or a new, even more, formidable threat remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Megumi’s return is imminent, and it will be a momentous event in the story.
What’s Next for Jujutsu Kaisen?
As Jujutsu Kaisen nears its climax, fans are on the edge of their seats, eager to see how this epic battle unfolds. The series, which has captivated readers with its intense action and complex characters, is poised to deliver a thrilling conclusion to the Shinjuku Showdown Arc.
The next chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, chapter 265, is scheduled for release on August 18, 2024. Readers can follow the story officially on Viz Media’s Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app, where they can experience the action as it unfolds.
With Yuji’s Domain Expansion now in play, the battle against Sukuna is about to reach a fever pitch, and the fate of Megumi—and perhaps the entire world of Jujutsu Sorcery—hangs in the balance.
