The latest release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256 came out over the weekend, revealing the unexpected return of Ryomen Sukuna. This chapter also delved deeper into the Black Flash technique and its limitations for certain sorcerers.
Despite this, the latest installment of Jujutsu Kaisen, chapter 256, concluded on a thrilling and intense note, fulfilling the long-awaited scene that viewers have been eagerly anticipating. It appears that the tide has turned in a positive direction, but it seems that the King of Curses is headed towards impending doom.
Sukuna’s Victory and Yuji’s Awakening in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 256
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256: The Ultimate Technique
The 256th chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen opens with a scene from the past, where Gojo Satoru is instructing his students on the technique of Black Flash. His students mistakenly believe that he can use it at any time due to his possession of the Six Eyes, but this is not the case. Simply having Six Eyes does not guarantee the ability to use Black Flash at will.
The speaker clarifies that Black Flash results from a combination of Cursed Energy (CE) and a physical strike happening within 0.000001 seconds of each other, causing a distortion in space. However, the exact details of this technique are influenced by various factors, making its definition quite imprecise.
When one enhances their fist with CE and strikes, there are three potential outcomes: their fist becomes stronger, the CE collides with the target, or both occur. However, the success of the strike is not solely determined by timing; it is also affected by factors such as the surrounding environment, the user’s physical state, the opponent’s CE, and even the level of humidity and temperature.
To put it simply, there is no definitive method for unleashing a Black Flash. Even for someone like Gojo, who infuses his physical attacks with CE, it ultimately comes down to luck. Kento Nanami surpassed Gojo’s consecutive Black Flash record, but Gojo still held the lead in terms of total Black Flashes.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256: The Ultimate Sacrifice
The present situation was analyzed by Maki, Miguel, Yuji, and Choso in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256. They speculated that Sukuna, like Gojo, had regained his Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT) and was gaining strength in the ongoing battle. The chapter then shifts back to the present.
In order to prevent this, the group coordinated a joint assault against him. Choso utilized a railing as a weapon, which Yuji used to try and ensnare Sukuna. Despite Choso’s attempt to strike with a Supernova, the Demon King managed to evade the attack. Meanwhile, Maki, who had been following alongside, rushed in with the intention of piercing his chest once again.
Despite Sukuna catching her blade, the two continued to exchange blows, using the air as their footing. However, this brief distraction was all the villain needed to unleash another Black Flash, the second one targeting Maki and his third overall. Without hesitation, he redirected his focus to Choso.
Sukuna rapidly unleashed two sets of slashes, with Choso using his Supernova ability to block the initial set. However, the second set was a diversion, allowing Sukuna to maneuver behind Choso and forcefully push him into a nearby wall. This resulted in Sukuna delivering his fourth Black Flash of the battle directly at Choso, but thanks to his Shield of Blood, the impact was somewhat lessened.
Fortunately for Choso, his brother Yuji was able to get close and deliver a powerful punch to Sukuna’s face, pushing him back. It was at this moment that Choso realized Yuji’s attacks would constantly chip away at Sukuna’s control over Megumi’s soul, no matter how much momentum Sukuna gained.
Close by, Miguel urged Larue to retreat, but Larue refused, declaring that there was still one more task to complete. In the meantime, Sukuna quickly regained his composure and delivered a swift gut punch to Yuji, forcing him backwards. However, despite being in close proximity, Yuji managed to join his hands and unleash Piercing Blood directly at the Demon King’s face.
The Final Battle Begins: Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 256
Despite the few feet of distance between them, Sukuna began to experience a peculiar sensation – one that resembled the premonition Mahito had received in Shibuya about Yuji’s impending Black Flash. The panel then depicts Sukuna’s pupils transforming into heart shapes, while his head turns towards the direction of Larue and Miguel.
Larue’s Cursed Technique, known as “Heart Catch”, manifested a powerful virtual hand that could grasp a person’s heart and seize it. With Sukuna’s focus completely drawn to this illusion, Yuji seized the perfect opportunity to strike. In the next moment, he unleashed a massive Black Flash directly at the center of Sukuna’s body, causing black sparks to scatter in all directions.
After much anticipation, the teen’s potential was finally unleashed. In the midst of chaos, Yuji Itadori had awakened as the chosen one, surrounded by the scattering black sparks.
Summary of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 256
The conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 256 left fans feeling ecstatic. This was the moment that followers of the series had been eagerly anticipating. Yuji had been eagerly awaiting some sort of improvement or awakening, making it the perfect time for it to occur.
The latest issue ends on a thrilling high, but fans will have to wait an additional week for the next installment as Jujutsu Kaisen will be taking a one-week hiatus.
