Chapter 226 recap
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 226 began with Gojo using Reverse Cursed Technique to heal the wound Sukuna inflicted on him in the previous issue’s final moments. While Gojo’s allies commented on the current situation, Sukuna relentlessly continued slashing his opponent with his Dismantle Cursed Technique.
However, Gojo continued to persevere, forcing Sukuna to come in close and engage Gojo in hand-to-hand combat. Sukuna seemingly had the advantage for a moment, but Gojo recovered while pondering that the center of Sukuna’s Domain Expansion could be the Malevolent Shrine rather than Sukuna himself.
Gojo then used a Simple Domain to negate Sukuna’s guaranteed hit, buying time to heal himself with Reverse Cursed Technique. Gojo, however, suddenly stopped using Reverse Cursed Technique to heal as Sukuna engaged him in combat, worrying his allies. However, it’s then revealed that Gojo was setting Sukuna up for Cursed Technique Reversal: Red, wrapping Sukuna up and knocking him back into the shrine with the attack, breaking it as the issue ends.
What to expect (speculative) in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 227
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 227 will most likely begin by addressing whether or not Sukuna’s Domain Expansion will collapse, given that the Malevolent Shrine itself is now broken. While fans are expecting this to be the case, the possibility of Akutami going in a different direction always exists. This is never said to definitively be the case by Gojo or his allies, with each instead theorizing it rather than outright asserting it as true.
Likewise, fans must take their speculation at face-value, with either option being just as likely. If the Domain Expansion does end due to the Shrine itself being destroyed, fans will likely see Gojo try to continue his assault on Sukuna and capitalize on the opening he has created.
If the Domain Expansion doesn’t collapse as a result, fans will get to see Gojo remain on the defensive in the upcoming issue, possibly even against his supposed weakness, the Ten Shadows Technique.
