Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258: Major spoilers to expect

After the highly anticipated release of the latest issue of creator Gege Akutami’s original manga series last week, fans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258. However, since the official release date and time of Monday, April 29, 2024, at 12 am Japanese Standard Time is still a while away, fans are actively discussing their expectations for the upcoming chapter.

Despite the lack of verifiable spoilers for the events in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 at the time of writing, this has only added to the anxiety surrounding the upcoming release. This information is anticipated to be revealed later in the week. However, recent efforts against manga piracy in Japan have raised concerns about the reliability and safety of the series’ spoiler system, with the possibility of it becoming obsolete at any moment, including this week.

Fans can confidently anticipate certain important moments and elements in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 without needing spoilers. These primarily revolve around Yuji Itadori and Ryomen Sukuna, including their final showdown and potential revelations about their connection and destiny.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258: Sukuna’s Insight on the Shared Origins of Yuji and Himself

It is expected that in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258, Yuji will successfully execute another Black Flash on Sukuna, causing him to be thrown back and creating a brief pause in their fight. Sukuna is likely to reflect on his past and connection with his twin, possibly leading to a flashback which will be narrated by either Sukuna or the series’ narrator.

The upcoming flashback is expected to shed light on the potential fate of Sukuna’s twin if he had not been consumed by Sukuna. The focus will be on exploring what kind of Cursed Technique the twin may have possessed. This will then lead to the revelation that Yuji’s ability to swap souls and arms was inherited from Sukuna’s twin, who has now been revealed to have been reincarnated as Yuji’s father, Jin Itadori.

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258, there should be a detailed explanation of this particular Cursed Technique, followed by a return to the present as Yuji charges at Sukuna once more. It is highly probable that he will land another Black Flash, seamlessly leading into a conversation between Yuji and Megumi Fushiguro.

The length of the conversation between the pair should be significantly longer this time compared to their previous encounter. It is expected that Megumi will divulge what he has discovered about Yuji from Sukuna’s memories. In response, Yuji will mention that he is already aware and has always had a sense that he and Sukuna share a deeper connection than what meets the eye. Megumi will then inquire about Yuji’s motivation to keep fighting despite the inherent curse in his being, as he searches for his own personal reason to continue the battle.

It is expected that Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 will show Yuji getting ready to respond, but ultimately remaining silent. Instead, the story will return to the present where Sukuna will contemplate that there is something amiss. Sukuna will express his concerns about losing control over Megumi’s body and soul, and will direct his anger towards Yuji for causing this turmoil.

As a reaction, Yuji is expected to shout at Megumi to wake up, causing Sukuna to panic and scratch at himself in an effort to regain control of Megumi’s body. The problem should conclude with indications of Sukuna starting to transform back into Megumi, but not completely. The last panel could also introduce a change in focus to the battle between Kinji Hakari and Uraume, leaving the situation with Sukuna as a major cliffhanger for the post-Golden Week release.
