The latest Jujutsu Kaisen chapter has fans on the edge of their seats as the story takes an interesting turn. Readers are anxious to know the outcome of Yuta’s attack on the villain Sukuna.
Even more intriguing, the raw scans have revealed a fan-favorite character joining the fight – Maki Zenin.
Absent until now, Maki’s appearance to help good people is touching and necessary. Using her powerful Katana sword, she caught Sukuna off guard and successfully stabbed him.
However, given Jujutsu Kaisen’s history of female characters struggling against enemies, the outcome remains uncertain.
Maki’s surprise attack adds to the suspense and her return will likely be welcomed by fans.
But it remains to be seen whether she will overcome her formidable foe Sukuna in the sequel to the popular manga. This chapter leaves some big questions looming.
Jujutsu Kaisen fans fear for Maki’s fate when facing Sukuna
A recent online post gave examples of Jujutsu Kaisen, in which female characters fight main villains only to meet tragic ends.
Specifically, Nobara Kugisaki fought the evil Mahito in the intense Shibuya Arc, while Yuki Tsukumo took on the role of villain Kenjaku.
In both cases, the sorceresses were brutally defeated by their powerful enemies.
Now, as the manga reaches its climax, popular character Maki Zenin has entered the fight against the final villain of the “Demon King”, Ryomen Sukuna.
While fans eagerly welcomed Maki’s return to action, they were also extremely worried about her fate.
Based on what happened to Nobara and Yuki previously when they faced off against top villains, fans worry the same cruel fate awaits Maki.
Although those two female warriors were very brave, Maki became an even more beloved character over the course of the series.
She seems to be the only heroine left at this dire time.
Fans strongly hope that Maki will defeat the formidable Sukuna.
But Jujutsu Kaisen set a disturbing precedent of villains brutally overpowering brave female warriors in manga.
How do fans react to Maki’s return?
Upon seeing the latest Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 251 showing Maki Zenin participating in battle, fans immediately posted messages of encouragement on social networks.
They desperately hope she will avoid the terrible fate that female warriors Nobara and Yuki suffered earlier in the series at the hands of powerful villains.
Now the spotlight shines on the formidable Maki, who has been compared to Toji Fushiguro being extremely skilled in this powered up form. After the content was revealed, the fan community rallied behind Maki with optimistic statements.
They desperately wanted her to survive her encounter with the evil “Cursed King” Sukuna, and break the tragic pattern of female characters falling into the hands of main villains.
During his previous battle with Rokujushi Miyo, Maki reached his full potential through “Heaven” by overcoming mental barriers while trapped in his Domain.
After achieving this peak mindset and power, fans hope she can surpass expectations and defeat the series’ most dominant villain Sukuna.
Her newfound strength and free state of mind may be enough to finally overthrow a fearsome enemy.

The chapter opens with villain Sukuna being shocked when hero Yuta imitates his powerful technique. Yuta then implies that he ate Sukuna’s 20th finger, terrifying the demon even more.
Despite the dire situation, Yuta and his ally Yuji continued their fierce attack on Sukuna. In a clever move, Yuji splashed blood into Sukuna’s eyes to temporarily blind him.
Aware of the new danger, Sukuna prepares his deadly World Slash technique, capable of reducing his defenses against the expansion of Yuta’s domain and Jacob’s Ladder within it.
However, Yuta persistently attacked, not giving Sukuna a moment to counterattack.
At the same time, Yuji desperately pushes his power to the limit to try to reach and save their endangered teammate Megumi, hoping to gain the advantage.
In a flashback, Yuji received important instructions from Hana and Angel on how to properly use Jacob’s Ladder to separate Megumi from Sukuna’s control.
In the present, Yuji’s blood explodes on Sukuna’s face, forcing the barrier around Megumi to break.
Yuji urgently called out to the unconscious Megumi, begging him to wake up.
But despite their careful planning, an unexpected obstacle arises – Megumi has lost her will, begging Yuji to stop saving her because he is unable to help after his immense suffering.
