Despite the impending release date for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256, there may be some initial spoilers revealed later this week. However, due to the current state of the spoiler process for Gege Akutami’s original manga series, as well as other works, it is at risk of being halted at any moment, even as soon as this week.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 255 summary

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 255 opened with Ui Ui and Kusakabe being rescued by Miguel and Larue. Soon after, a flashback reveals Yuta and Larue approaching Miguel to join them in their fight against Sukuna. Yuta persuades Miguel by explaining that Sukuna will be weakened after his intense battle with Gojo (assuming Gojo loses), making him easier to defeat. Despite Miguel’s doubts, Larue speaks with him privately and reminds him of their past experiences with Geto, suggesting that they honor him by confronting Sukuna.

Miguel consents, on the condition that Gojo and Yuta are defeated and Sukuna is unable to use his Domain Expansion, and that Larue joins him in the battle. As they return to the present, their confrontation with Sukuna commences. Larue utilizes his Cursed Technique, Heart Catch, which enables him to summon a virtual hand multiple times, but at the cost of receiving a tenth of its damage. Meanwhile, Miguel employs his own Cursed Technique, Prayer Song, which harnesses the rhythm of his body to repel curses and enhance his physical prowess.

A flashback briefly elaborates on Miguel’s Cursed Technique, highlighting his natural physical abilities as a crucial aspect of his strength. Choso rejoins the fight in the present, accompanied by Yuji. It is revealed that Sukuna must use a hand sign to perform the World Bisecting Slash, prompting Maki to re-enter the battle by severing his two left arms. The chapter concludes with Sukuna delivering another Black Flash to Larue, and the narrator teasing about a potential regaining of something similar.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256: Predictions and Theories

With Sukuna appearing to have regained a significant advantage in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256, it is possible that the King of Curses will start to make a strong comeback. Furthermore, if he is able to restore his Reverse Cursed Technique and heal himself, he will become nearly invincible.

Still, chapter 256 may bring a fortunate turn for Miguel and his companions as Kinji Hakari makes his entrance. Although he was previously engaged in a battle with Uraume, Gege may return to this fight and tease Hakari’s eventual triumph by pitting him against Sukuna. It is also plausible, and perhaps even probable, that the focus will entirely shift to Hakari’s clash with Uraume in the upcoming release.
