After a one-week break, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 257 spoilers are out.
Over the past few weeks, Jujutsu Kaisen has been competing with Rent-a-Girlfriend in delaying progress. However, in chapter 256, a drastic development happened to Yuji.
In chapter 256, Gojo explained that even though he is the strongest, he cannot use Black Flash with his will. For someone to use Black Flash perfectly is almost impossible.
At the battlefield, Sukuna knocks out Laure while Miguel silently observes him. At this point, Sukuna can now use Black Flash whenever he wants, as he has used it three times with Maki and once with Laure.
However, at the end of chapter 256, Yuji reveals himself to be a person who has perfected Black Flash. When he saw an opening to punch Sukuna, he used Black Lightning with great power, spreading its effect everywhere.
Here are the spoilers and raw scans of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 257.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 257 Spoilers & Raw Scans:
Regarding the leaked information, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 257 begins with a flashback where Sukuna talks about Yuji with Uraume. He asks Uraume who really is Yuji since he has an unexplainable amount of power, even from the cursed energy left over when Sukuna left his body.
This flashback is from the time when Sukuna was still in Megumi's body; before awakening.
Sukuna revealed that when he was still in his mother's womb, he ate his twin brother to stay healthy. Somehow, later in the series, his dead brother's soul was captured by Kenjaku and with that soul, Yuji Itadori was born.
This makes Uraume wonder if Yuji has the same innate potential as Sukuna. After the flashback, the series returns to the battle where Yuji confronts Sukuna. Suddenly, Yuji attacks Sukuna with two consecutive Black Lightning Bolts.

However, Yuji is pushed back, leading him to land on a pillar, but he cuts it off and throws it at Sukuna. Currently, Yuji is carrying two cursed techniques: Blood Manipulation from the Blood Painting and Sukuna's cursed technique, Mizushi Shrine.
Considering he is Sukuna's twin brother, he can use Mizushi Shrine without hesitation. Yuji grabbed Sukuna's legs and tried in vain to cut them off, but Sukuna sent a slash towards him.
However, Yuji's relentless behavior allows him to rush through the slash unfazed, and he hits Sukuna with another Black Flash. Sukuna now realizes how Yuji was able to use the same cursed technique, but with a very slight variation due to different users.
Regardless, Sukuna calls Itadori's ability ridiculous, and since he just learned about it, his slash count is low.

We are greeted by a surprise flashback where Ino asks Gojo, Nanami and Ijichi to use Nanami's cursed tool since they are old friends of his. Gojo allows and reassures him that he can use Nanami's cursed technique because Nanami trusts him the most.
During the fight, Ino comes from behind and summons a Dragon to attack Sukuna. However, Sukuna easily slashes Dragon and uses his foot to grab Nanami's cursed tool, but he notices Yuji, who is ready to attack him from behind.
From behind, Yuji launched another Black Lightning at Sukuna, which made him agitated about Yuji using the Black Lightning as if nothing happened. Sukuna gets angry wondering if Yuji is trying to stand on equal footing with him.
Sukuna destroyed the area they were standing on and tried to punch Yuji as soon as he landed, but Yuji grabbed him and punched him into the wall. Yuji sent another powerful black lightning bolt at Sukuna, but Sukuna grabbed his face and slashed it.
Even though Yuji has blood on his face, he still hits ANOTHER flashback of Sukuna. This makes Sukuna angry enough to scream at Yuji, but he is hit by Nanami's blunt knife which Ino throws as a final push.

This gave Yuji enough time to prepare for the Ultimate Black Lightning and Ino fired him. At the end of the chapter, Itadori hits Sukuna for the eighth consecutive Black Lightning.
