Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259: Release date and time, what to expect, and more

According to the official MANGA Plus website, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 is scheduled to be released on Monday, May 13, 2024, at 12 am JST. Fans are eagerly anticipating the next release of the manga as Sukuna has regained his Domain Expansion and activated the “Fuga”flame technique. However, due to Weekly Shonen Jump being on a publication break next week, fans will have to wait until mid-May for the official return of the series.

Fortunately, there should be some initial spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 as the release date approaches later in the week. However, due to the potential threat to the spoiler process for creator Gege Akutami’s original manga series and others, it is possible for this process to halt at any point, including this week.

Despite this, fans can still expect to know the release date for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259, as Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website has provided official information.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258 Recap

The start of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 featured the narrator describing Gojo’s method of relieving the strain on his mind by adjusting his Reverse Cursed Technique after successfully executing two Black Flashes. It is later revealed that Sukuna also had the same intention, but Yuji’s Black Flashes aimed at the boundary of his and Megumi’s souls prevented him from doing so. However, Sukuna was able to regain his Domain Expansion by altering his palm signs and making a Binding Vow.

The viewers were taken back in time as a flashback revealed that Choso and Yuji possessed the ability to use Reverse Cursed Technique without its usual drawback of consuming excessive Cursed Energy. They were also able to convert their Cursed Energy into replacement blood. In the flashback, it became apparent that Ui Ui had switched the souls of Yuji and Kusakabe, allowing Kusakabe to teach Yuji’s body how to manipulate Cursed Energy and use Anti-Barrier Techniques. Returning to the present, Yuji utilized Kusakabe’s Simple Domain to counter Sukuna’s Domain.

Sukuna was then revealed to have created a barrierless Domain similar to the one in Shibuya, with the intention of eliminating any means of escape and activating a guaranteed hit on Maki. However, due to his weakened state, he could only sustain this high-level Domain for a maximum of 99 seconds. As a result, Yuji’s Simple Domain collapsed, causing him to lose his left leg, which he quickly regenerated.

Sukuna’s use of the “Fuga”flames ability, which had been witnessed in Shibuya, ultimately resolved the issue.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 259: What to Expect (Speculative)

With Sukuna’s determination to bring an end to this fight in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259, it is safe for fans to assume that the long-awaited conclusion to this battle is approaching. However, the current advantage held by Sukuna over Yuji and his allies will prove to be a formidable obstacle to overcome.

Similarly, in chapter 259, there is a possibility of Yuta Okkotsu making a comeback to the battlefield to help Yuji and his team defeat Sukuna. However, there is also a chance that Sukuna starts targeting the remaining sorcerers individually as he prepares for his ultimate triumph.
