The most recent chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, issue 251, revolves around the battle between Yuji and Yuta against the powerful villain Ryomen Sukuna. Yuta returns to the manga’s plot to team up with Yuji to fight Sukuna, who is considered the King of Curses.
However, Sukuna countered their attacks by using his dangerous Dismantle technique on the two heroes.
This technique causes Yuta to suffer some form of injury or slash. Since specific details of the damage were not clearly described, it remains unclear how seriously Yuta was injured.
But based on previous key events in the plot, it’s very likely that this latest attack by Sukuna has left Yuta unable to return to action or team up with Yuji anytime soon.
His reappearance after chapter 251 seems unlikely based on how the previous part ended.
The focus now seems to shift solely to Yuji’s ongoing confrontation with the formidable Sukuna.
Speculation surrounds Yuta’s fate after Sukuna’s devastating attack
The most recent Jujutsu Kaisen storyline, in chapter 251, depicts a violent clash between villain Ryomen Sukuna and protagonists Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori.
Sukuna unleashed his deadly Curse Technique called Dismantle directly on Yuta and Yuji. This broke the protective domain that Yuta had summoned.
Just then, jujutsu witch Maki Zen’in appeared and caught Sukuna off guard, stabbing him from behind with her unique weapon, the Split Soul Katana.
This surprise attack could create an impending confrontation between Sukuna and Maki.
However, this chapter may have subtly shown Yuta being seriously injured by Sukuna’s previous attack.

With the clear visuals of blood flowing from these wounds, it can be reasonably concluded that this attack nearly killed or severely damaged Yuta.
However, the manga story quickly ignores this, making no mention of Yuta’s condition but instead shifting the focus to Sukuna’s next battle against Maki.
Some fans may be holding out a small hope that Yuta somehow survived being slashed by Sukuna’s devastating Dismantle technique.
However, the likelihood of him surviving such an attack is extremely low.
It should be recalled that this same Dismantle move was previously used by Sukuna to slice the powerful jujutsu wizard Satoru Gojo in half, ultimately leading to Gojo’s death.
Given the technique’s lethality even against the strongest warriors, Yuta has little chance of enduring it.
Considering series creator Gege Akutami’s penchant for influential storytelling, the next chapter could realistically open by confirming Yuta’s death instead of moving on to the anticipated Sukuna and Maki confrontation. predict.
Losing Yuta would be a serious setback for the protagonists facing the nearly unstoppable Sukuna.
Some optimistic fans have theorized that the Dismantle blast used on Yuta and Yuji was a weaker version, due to Sukuna’s Curse Energy reserves being depleted at the time.
So it may not be comparable to the completely lethal technique used on the previous Gojo. However, without seeing the next chapter, this is still just speculation.
There’s a faint possibility that if Yuji avoids major injuries, he could tap into his Reverse Cursed Energy to heal Yuta.
This will allow Yuta to rejoin the fight against Sukuna along with Maki. But for now, it’s unclear whether Yuta will return or what his fate will be.
More information about Jujutsu Kaisen
In the fictional world of Jujutsu Kaisen, all living creatures generate mystical energy within their bodies known as Cursed Energy. This comes from negative emotions that people naturally feel and circulate internally.
However, normal individuals cannot control this energy flow. As a result, they continuously lost Curse Energy over time, leading to the creation of the Curse – a race of malicious spiritual entities that primarily sought to cause damage to humanity.
These Curses manifest as horrifying monsters, vengeful spirits, ghosts, and supernatural creatures.
However, those known as Jujutsu Mages have been trained to gain control of the Cursed Energy within their bodies.
This allows them to consciously manipulate it and also reduce the amount that leaks out.
The most powerful Mages and Curses can further refine this raw energy and use it to perform personalized Curse Techniques – special attacks or abilities unique to the user or blood their system.
An advanced application of the Cursed Technique is Domain Expansion.
Here, the user constructs a variable-sized bag size class. In the Domain, the user’s attacks are guaranteed to hit their target, and overall strength is also increased significantly.
This makes domain expansion extremely dangerous if one is faced with an opponent who can summon them.
