A Surprising Resurrection in Jujutsu Kaisen: Character Saves Megumi, But It’s Not Mei Mei

While most Jujutsu Kaisen characters encountered Sukuna in the final arc, Hakari, Mei Mei, and Hana Kurusu were the only exceptions. Fans were eagerly waiting for the aftermath of Yuta’s Hollow Purple on Sukuna, hoping to see him inflict some damage. However, the chapter started with Sukuna and Yuta’s domains collapsing, leaving Yuta unable to continue the fight, much to the disappointment of his supporters.

It was a shock to fans when the chapter ended with Hana Kurusu using a Jacob’s Ladder to attack Sukuna. This was unexpected as many fans had predicted that Hakari or Mei Meito would join the battle instead of Hana, who is currently missing one of her limbs.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Character Hana Kurusu Returns Unexpectedly

The theories of fans were confirmed in chapter 263 of Jujutsu Kaisen, as it was revealed that Yuta’s Hollow Purple would have no effect on Sukuna. The chapter began with the destruction of both Sukuna’s and Yuta’s domains.

During the sorcerers’ battle against Sukuna, almost every character introduced in the series has made an attempt to defeat him. Although some characters, such as Inumaki, did not take a direct approach, their techniques were utilized by Yuta, who copied and utilized their cursed techniques.

This method resulted in the cursed techniques serving as substitutes for the individuals in their attempts to harm Sukuna. When Yuta faced Sukuna in their initial confrontation, he employed Jacob’s Ladder to attack him, while in chapter 263, Hana Kurusu made a comeback and utilized a similar strike on a larger level.

Despite the severe injuries and loss of limbs she sustained during Gojo’s unsealing, Hana Kurusu was not expected to join the fight against Sukuna again. Her unexpected return, especially with her previous injuries, came as a surprise to many fans.

Additionally, Angel and her vessel Hana Kurusu were portrayed as a group actively pursuing Sukuna, and Angel’s unique approach of antagonizing him by calling him “The Disgraced One”sparked numerous theories within the Jujutsu Kaisen community.

Previously, Hana Kurusu had utilized Jacob’s Ladder on Sukuna, resulting in a highly successful outcome. It is worth mentioning that this took place when Sukuna was significantly weaker compared to his current state, where he is arguably at his most vulnerable.

In light of Hana Kurusu’s past and Megumi’s pivotal role in saving her, as well as the enigmatic nature of Angel and the unknown origin of cursed energy that produces the Jujutsu Kaisen’s equivalent of holy energy, it is highly likely that the upcoming chapter will center around Sukuna, Angel, and Hana Kurusu. Fans can anticipate the potential unveiling of Sukuna and Angel’s full backstory.

Concluding Remarks

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263, which will feature Angel activating a Maximum Jacob’s Ladder on Sukuna, is scheduled to be released on July 14, 2024. Readers can access the chapter on Shueisha’s MANGAPlus platform. Despite the exciting ending of chapter 263, some fans are hesitant and question whether this move will be as ineffective as Yuta’s Hollow Purple in chapter 262-2.
