Chapter 251 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga series is expected to be officially released on Monday, February 19, 2024. However, the spoiler of this chapter appeared a few days before.
According to these initial leaks, the upcoming season will depict protagonist Yuji frantically trying to reach Megumi’s soul in hopes of rescuing him from the control of the villain Sukuna.
Additionally, the powerful witch Maki Zenin, who has been absent in recent chapters, will make her return.
Her sudden appearance on the battlefield will likely be welcomed by the other protagonists from the Jujutsu school, as her fighting skills can attest to that.
Using her deadly Katana sword called the Soul Splitter, which she inherited from her late sister Mai, Maki caught the formidable Sukuna off guard and succeeded in stabbing him to death.
Fans eagerly await the full release of the chapter to see how these events unfold and impact the climactic match.
Yuji and Yuta’s daring attack on Sukuna
The chapter opens with Sukuna expressing shock at how Yuta was able to imitate his powerful technique.
Yuta then questions whether Sukuna has regained his 20th finger, implying that it was Yuta who consumed it.
Despite the dire situation, Yuta and Yuji continue their fierce combined attack on Sukuna. In a clever move, Yuji sprayed blood into Sukuna’s eyes to temporarily blind the Curse.
Aware of the danger he is facing, Sukuna prepares to use his devastating World Slash technique, which will likely lower his defenses against the formidable Domain Expansion Ability Yuta’s Forge and Jacob’s Ladder attack within it.
However, Yuta persisted in attacking, not allowing Sukuna to counterattack for even a second. At the same time, Yuji pushes his abilities to the limit in an attempt to reach and assist the endangered Megumi, hoping to turn the tide of the battle.
In a flashback, it is shown that Yuji had previously received important instructions from Hana and Angel on how to properly use the Jacob’s Ladder technique to separate Megumi from Sukuna’s control.
In the present, the blood that Yuji had smeared on Sukuna’s face explodes, allowing Yuji to forcefully break the metaphysical barrier between Sukuna’s and Megumi’s souls.
Yuji urgently called Megumi, begging him to wake up from his dangerous unconscious state.
Despite the careful planning and precision that Yuji and Yuta used to try to rescue Megumi, an unexpected obstacle appeared.
It seems Megumi herself has lost the will to live under the crushing weight of suffering. In a heartbreaking moment, Megumi begs Yuji to stop trying to save her, declaring that he has endured enough suffering and it is time to surrender to his fate.
Meanwhile, as the battle rages, Sukuna unleashes a devastating counterattack, breaking Yuta’s Domain Extension by performing three spells:
“Dragon scale. Repel. Pair of falling stars.”
Although no one died afterward, Yuta, Yuji, and Rika all suffered severe injuries from Sukuna’s ruthless slashes. However, just when the tide seems to be turning in Sukuna’s favor, an unexpected appearance changes the balance once again.
Maki Zenin, a fierce witch with no cursed energy, jumps into the fray, launching a daring attack on the formidable Sukuna. The preview contains tantalizing content:
“The ferocious witch’s attack has no cursed energy.”
Chapter 251 allegedly leaked suggesting Maki may have used the Soul Splitter Katana, a dying gift from her late sister Mai. Previously, Maki used this powerful weapon to massacre the Zenin clan and defeat Naoya’s vengeful Cursed Soul form.
