After the recent release of Gege Akutami’s original Jujutsu Kaisen manga series, fans are feeling more hopeful about Jujutsu Tech and their allies’ potential to defeat Sukuna. While there is no official confirmation yet, the ending events of chapter 256 have left fans eagerly anticipating future releases.
Regrettably, the release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256 has also been postponed for one week, resulting in fans having to wait until Monday, April 22, 2024, at 12 a.m. Japanese Standard Time for the official release of the next chapter. Similarly, the process of obtaining spoilers for the series has also been delayed, with credible leaks not being available until the week of the chapter’s release.
Despite the break causing hesitation among Jujutsu Kaisen fans, Yuji’s recent actions against Sukuna are serving as inspiration and instilling faith in him and his allies. Additionally, a subtle line in chapter 256 could be seen as confirmation of Yuji’s survival in the fight against Sukuna, possibly foreshadowing a complete victory for Yuji and his allies.
Hints of a long future for Yuji revealed in Jujutsu Kaisen’s latest Gojo flashback
Summary of key points
The opening of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256 featured a short flashback of Gojo discussing his utilization of Black Flash. It was revealed that due to his Six Eyes ability, fighting style, and short fights, coupled with the influence of the environment, he has only been able to successfully execute a few Black Flashes. A subtle statement is made that suggests Yuji will eventually surpass Gojo in this aspect. The story then shifts back to the present, where Yuji and his companions express worry about Sukuna’s potential revival.
As their worries are proven true, Sukuna unleashes his wrath and continues to strike Maki with a triumphant grin, landing his third Black Flash in succession. This marks the second time she has been hit by the attack. Choso bravely confronts Sukuna, only to be struck by a Black Flash as well. Fortunately, he had used Blood Armor to lessen the impact. Just as it seems all is lost, Yuji suddenly appears and strikes Sukuna, spurred on by Choso as the crucial factor in their potential triumph.
After Miguel’s failed attempt to persuade Larue to leave with him, Larue insists that there is still one task they must complete. In the meantime, Yuji confronts Sukuna in a physical battle, while Larue uses his Cursed Technique to seize Sukuna’s heart. This immobilizes Sukuna, giving Yuji the opportunity to land a powerful Black Flash attack, which Sukuna was able to anticipate. The latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen concludes with the narrator hinting that this Black Flash has triggered Yuji’s “awakening.”
Deciphering the Throw-Away Comment
In the opening flashback, Gojo shares his experience with Black Flash and mentions that the series claims Yuji will eventually surpass him in the number of Black Flashes. It is uncertain when this will occur in the future. However, it is stated that Gojo currently has a higher total of Black Flashes than Kento Nanami, even though he struggles with successfully executing them.
Similarly, it can be anticipated that Yuji will continue to have a long journey ahead of him in Jujutsu Kaisen before surpassing Gojo. Yet, the confirmation that Yuji will eventually surpass Gojo gives fans their first significant indication that he will survive the Sukuna battle. Although not completely definitive, there are certainly compelling arguments that can be made in support of this claim.
In the series, it is confirmed that Yuji has used Black Flash at least eight times against different opponents. Meanwhile, Nanami and Gojo have both used the technique four and five times, respectively. However, in Gojo’s recent flashback, he confidently states that he has a higher total count compared to Nanami, implying that he has a much greater lead in terms of Black Flash usage.
Similarly, since Yuji has not yet surpassed Gojo, it can be inferred that Gojo has used Black Flash at least nine times in his lifetime. It’s safe to assume that Gojo has a considerable advantage over Yuji, who has only landed eight Black Flashes in total. This indicates that Yuji will continue to exist in Jujutsu Kaisen even after the Sukuna battle, as he has only successfully executed one Black Flash against Sukuna thus far.
Despite the aforementioned points, it is evident that there are significant flaws in this reasoning, particularly in the speculative and subjective nature of comparing the total Black Flashes of Yuji and Gojo. It is also plausible that the difference between them is minimal and Yuji may have a chance of surpassing Gojo in the battle against Sukuna. As a result, it is possible for Yuji to surpass Gojo’s record but also potentially be defeated by Sukuna in the ongoing fight.
Nevertheless, the flashback of Gojo and his confident remarks about his superior control of Black Flashes compared to Nanami hint at his significant advantage over Yuji. It is also worth noting that the mention of Yuji potentially surpassing him does not use the word “later,”which is unusual in this scenario. Fans can eagerly anticipate finding out the truth soon as the battle against Sukuna appears to be approaching its climax in chapter 257.
