Yuji and Itadori fought against Sukuna as a team in the previous chapter. Readers are curious to know how Fushiguro will change the outcome of their fight in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 252.
Yuji is upset that because of his battle with Gojo he can no longer use his domain and the effects of his cursed technique have been weakened.
His total amount of cursed energy is equivalent to that of possessed people. Sukuna had left an opening when he first encountered the curse technique so Yuji thought that it could harm him even more.
Sukuna was slashed. Yuji knows that Sukuna cannot get his last finger back. Sukuna sees him as her next meal, this is her last chance to take down Itadori and take back Fushiguro right there.
Itadori must quickly heal himself, despite the cursed energy emitted and his ability to control his body weakening.
Itadori is freeing an empty wicker basket using angelic techniques in a desperate gamble to destroy the falling apart world.
They had taken all of that into account, they had known Sukuna would try it. They cannot use the extended dismount when using empty wicker baskets.
Even though it was a simple technique, he was forced to use chanting or both. Sukuna also didn’t want him to let it do that, Yuji’s slashing attack became weaker and weaker.
Sukuna thought he had nothing to fear even though he was very close. Sukuna wasn’t sure what was going on. Itadori’s blood was boiling.
According to Tsukumo’s notes on a general level, even if souls are mixed to some extent they can never become one.
Choso informed Itadori Sukuna that he was a special case, as he could not sense traces of the soul that previously resided in that body.
Itadori believes it is due to the large gap in cursed energy, between cursed objects and non-witches.
Tsukumo’s notes say that although the soul can sink deeper, it can never disappear or merge to become one. Choso thinks that if on a general level, Megumi is an exception then they will be in trouble.
Summarize
Itadori informs them about a cursed spirit named Mahito, who can take the souls of others and fuse them together to create a separate being.
Itadori believes that as long as such a technique does not work. I think it’s safe to assume that two souls can become one. Itadori believed Tsukumo’s words and thought of awakening Fushiguro’s soul.
Hana told them that their technique could be beneficial based on his plan. The angel’s technique is to destroy the target’s technique.
Hana believes they will be able to destroy Sukuna thanks to his reincarnated form being a direct combination of his techniques and personality as well as the cursed object.
Because that damned technique is always connected to the brain. The target’s survival rate is significantly low.
However, when they separated the two souls and tried to weaken the synchronization between the cursed object and the body, the odds of survival increased rapidly.
Yuji uses his maximum output Jacob scale, and Itadori tries to awaken Fushiguro to the soul component from that angle.
Even though Itadori and Okkotsu’s plan was flawless, Fushiguro had had enough. Fushiguro Megumi’s soul and anyone’s will to live has been extinguished.
The scale of twin dragon-shocking meteors is common among Jujutsu wizards. A trivial plan that Sukuna under normal circumstances could have clearly avoided.
Fushiguro launches a surprise attack on someone guaranteed victory by the blade of a monster without cursed energy.
