A highly-anticipated event occurred in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 alleged spoilers, as Yuji Itadori managed to reduce the strength of Ryomen Sukuna’s possession over Megumi Fushiguro’s body, allowing Megumi to finally retaliate.
Despite the gripping, adrenaline-fueled fight between Sukuna and Yuji that kept readers captivated, one particular moment shone above the rest in the chapter. It was the heartfelt exchange between the souls of Yuji and Megumi that stole the show.
The emotional heart of the chapter was undoubtedly the poignant exchange, which not only marked Yuji’s acceptance of Megumi’s lack of desire to continue living, but also showcased a heartbreaking parallel between Yuji and Gojo that deeply resonated with readers.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266: A Gut-Wrenching Yuji-Gojo Parallel Takes Readers Back to Megumi’s First Meeting with Gojo
The supposed leaks for chapter 266 of Jujutsu Kaisen touched fans’ emotions in multiple ways. It showcased a highly anticipated meeting between Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori.
However, it also briefly gave the impression that Yuji may have abandoned his determination to save Megumi’s life, as there was a surprising and touching parallel between Yuji and Gojo.
At the start of the chapter, Megumi explains to Yuji his desire to build a world where his sister, Tsumiki Fushiguro, wouldn’t have to endure unnecessary pain.
To him, even mundane activities such as enjoying a home-cooked meal, witnessing the sunlight illuminate his and his sister’s laundry hanging outside, and bidding farewell as she strolled alongside Yuji, would have been the source of genuine happiness.
Nevertheless, the chances of any of this occurring are now nonexistent, as he appears to hold himself responsible for his sister’s passing. After learning this, Yuji recounted to Megumi the incident where his grandfather refused treatment for his lung cancer.
Ever since he arrived at Jujutsu High, he discovered a newfound ability to empathize with his grandfather and others who may find themselves in a helpless predicament.
Therefore, Yuji empathized with Megumi and understood the feeling of helplessness he must have experienced in his current situation. He then explained that he couldn’t just tell Megumi to continue living.
During Yuji’s fight against Sukuna, there was a moment that surprised fans and also caused them to worry about Megumi’s safety. This was when Megumi encountered Satoru Gojo for the first time, with Yuji standing in front of him instead of their blindfolded teacher. This unexpected encounter added to the tension of the battle.
As Megumi repeated the question he had asked Gojo during their first meeting about his peculiar expression, Yuji tearfully admitted that he would feel lonely without Megumi by his side.
It is disheartening that this parallel not only revisited Gojo’s initial encounter with Megumi, but also foreshadowed their possible final interaction with Yuji. One can interpret this moment as Yuji tearfully saying farewell to Megumi, as he understands and respects his choice to not continue living.
Nonetheless, Gege Akutami gave fans a glimmer of hope in the aftermath of this event. It appeared that Megumi had made the decision to fight against Sukuna and utilized his Ten Shadows technique to aid Yuji in delivering a powerful blow to the King of Curses.
As Yuji continued to struggle against Sukuna’s hold and try to free his friend, Megumi’s sudden show of resistance caused a smile to spread across his face.
According to Sukuna, Yuji’s Soul Dismantle attack successfully revived Megumi’s soul, which had been suppressed by the “Bath”ritual. This suggests that it won’t be long before their physical connection is completely broken.
The upcoming chapter of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga has been confirmed to feature the climactic final battle. This news has left fans with mixed emotions, experiencing both excitement and sadness.
