Spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen 249
The chapter begins with an impactful scene from the past, showing Yuta at a decisive moment where he performs the decapitation of Kenjaku. This action has an immediate and chaotic effect, triggering a chain reaction where the cursed spirits begin to act uncontrollably.
Yuta, seeking to contain the chaotic situation, summons Rika to face the enraged Cursed Spirits. However, the plot takes an unexpected turn when a death-defying Kenjaku is seen with his head separated from his body, still conscious. He takes advantage of this moment of surprise to instruct Kogane to implement a new rule: now, Megumi Fushiguro is the one who has the necessary authority to initiate the fusion between humans and Tengen, adding a complex layer to the narrative.
The plot thickens when Kenjaku reveals to Yuta that he had already prepared a plan B and, in addition, completed an inheritance ritual with Sukuna, showing a step forward in his strategy. The revelation leads to a surprising scene where Tengen is presented in the form of an embryo, an image that captures the essence of Kenjaku’s plan, which is promptly sent to Sukuna.
The climax approaches when Yuta, in a decisive move, manages to pierce Kenjaku’s head, marking the end of an era of manipulations and dark games. In Kenjaku’s last words, he expresses a kind of warped contentment at having Takaba as his final opponent in his deadly games. He hints at the legacy of chaos he leaves behind, passing the baton to the next generation, but refrains from revealing the extent of the pleasure he derived from thousands of years of manipulating destinies.
Yuta notes that Sukuna’s RCT flow is normalizing and anticipates that soon Sukuna will be able to utilize his DE again. Yuta carries the weight of recent events on his shoulders, brooding that he should have sided with the hit squad against Sukuna.
Yuta reiterates his conviction that neutralizing Kenjaku was an essential measure. He recognizes that if the cursed spirits were unleashed on a scale similar to the Shibuya incident, then Rika’s intervention and her unparalleled powers would be vital to containing the threat and protecting the civilian population.
Yuta vs Sukuna
Yuta makes a swing with his sword, but Sukuna deftly intercepts it, grabbing the blade without establishing real physical contact, applying a series of quick and precise cuts, reminiscent of the movements of a chainsaw. In response, Yuta abandons his Katana and attacks with a punch aimed at Sukuna’s abdomen, where a second mouth is located.
Yuta and Rika synchronize their offensives against Sukuna, triggering a joint assault. As the confrontation intensifies, Yuta becomes lost in self-reflection, blaming himself for the events that led them to that critical juncture. He recalls his burning desire to be the final agent of Kenjaku’s downfall, a decision that he says precipitated the current chain of events.
YUTA OPENS HIS DOMAIN AGAINST SUKUNA!! “TRUE AND MUTUAL LOVE”!!!
Sukuna resorts to “Hollow Wisker Basket” in an attempt to counter the established dominance. However, without wasting a moment, Yuta responds with a well-aimed blow of “Thin Ice Breaker”, a technique he skillfully assimilated from Uro.
Yuta resolutely declares his intention to eradicate any threat within his domain. There is superficial damage on Sukuna’s face, an indication that he understood his opponents’ ploy. With knowledge gained from Megumi’s memories, Sukuna identifies Yuta and designates him as the individual of Spiritual Possession, whose Technical Ability is ‘Copy’.
Yuta has a strategy outlined: he intends to use the Sure-hit as an effective counterattack, which is presumed to be the Angel’s (CT), while simultaneously sealing half of Sukuna’s arms and mouth. This imprisonment will force Sukuna to repeatedly resort to the “Hollow Wisker Basket” technique. Meanwhile, Yuta plans to take the opportunity to assault Sukuna with an unlimited replica of other cursed techniques, a feat that is only viable under the effect of DE.
As part of this strategic plan, Yuji is assigned to deliver the final blow to Sukuna, employing his unique ability to trap souls through his attacks, with the aim of extracting Sukuna from Megumi’s body. Sukuna, with biting irony, praises Yuji, applauding him mockingly and proclaims: “Congratulations to you, you have finally found your place in the scene.”
Conclusion of chapter 249 of Jujutsu Kaisen and end of spoilers! The editors leave an exciting note at the end: “Characters old and new join forces in a joint attack! Guaranteed continuation without breaks next week!
