Warning: Contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #222!With Jujutsu KaisenThe final battle of the climax is fast approaching, the series has reintroduced its most enigmatic character, Party. This is a great sign that the final battles of the manga will be some of the most epic and chaotic of the series. Mangaka Gege Akutami has come up with some pretty wild powers for the series, but they’ve never succeeded in creating a more complex or bizarre power than Hakari.
Chapter #222, translated by John Wery, sets the stage for Gojo and Sukuna’s final battle. Although Gojo was extremely powerful, it was likely that he would lose to Sukuna, who received various upgrades to increase his already formidable strength, so the good guys made a contingency plan in case the Cursed King prevails. Given that their best chance of defeating Sukuna without Gojo would be right after their battle, Maki, Yuta, and Hakari will be watching to get ready to join after the battle is over. These three are the strongest witches alive in the story after Gojo, so the plan makes sense. It also promises to make the final battle a lot more chaotic.
Hakari’s return means the end of Jujutsu Kaisen is getting more complicated
Hakari’s curse technique is easily the most ridiculous of Jujutsu Kaisen, but this is also what makes it so great. His domain expansion is essentially a giant Pachinko machine that allows him to approach a variety of attacks based on the spins he gets. Also, if he does land a jackpot, he will essentially become invincible for a short period of time before re-entering his Domain Expansion and repeating the whole process. This ability helps him win the war against the ancient sorcerer Kashimo, although in the process he loses his arm. However, with him being included in Yuta and Maki’s party, it’s likely this doesn’t stop him from using his Domain Expansion, meaning he can use it against Sukuna and his allies. himself in the final battle.
Gojo fighting Sukuna alone is already one of the most exciting battles in the series, but by adding Yuta, Maki, and Hakari, this final clash is turning into the craziest one yet. Yuta and Maki are both incredibly powerful, and it will be interesting to see how their abilities interact with Hakari. Yuta is even able to copy Hakari’s technique, forcing Sukuna to fight multiple near-invincible enemies at once.
Hakari’s return makes the final battle of Jujutsu Kaisen even more exciting
Unfortunately, if Hakari, Yuta, and Maki all fight Sukuna, that means Gojo will be defeated. This will be disappointing given how epic Gojo’s return is in Jujutsu Kaisen, but if that’s the price to pay to see that trio take on Sukuna it could be worth it. But even if Gojo defeats Sukuna on his own, reintroduction Party and his complex abilities mean Jujutsu Kaisenthe final climax is about to get more confusing in the best possible way.
