Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261: Next Round of Gojo vs Sukuna Teased

The spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 have been released, and fans can anticipate the upcoming battle between Gojo and Sukuna.

Jujutsu Kaisen, being a shonen manga, features numerous exciting fights. Yet, the battle between Gojo and Sukuna is widely regarded as the most exceptional fight in the series. This clash between the most powerful sorcerers of both present and past has propelled the manga to the peak of its popularity.

The showdown between Gojo and Sukuna commenced in Chapter 222, marking the start of the Shinjuku Showdown Arc. Following multiple rounds of fierce combat and unexpected turns, it ultimately concluded with Gojo’s demise and Sukuna emerging as the victor.

Despite appearing to return in Chapter 261, it is not actually Gojo who reappears. Instead, it is his body serving as the vessel for Yuta after he utilized Kenjaku’s cursed technique to transfer his consciousness into Gojo’s lifeless body.

Despite Gojo not physically appearing in the story, Yuta retains all of his teacher’s techniques, making him equally as formidable as Satoru Gojo. Therefore, when Yuta faces off against Sukuna, it can be considered the next chapter in the ongoing battle between Gojo and Sukuna.

Similarly, the final chapter 261 concludes with a suspenseful moment as Gojo and Sukuna prepare to confront each other by unleashing their respective domains.

During their initial confrontation in Shinjuku, Gojo and Sukuna clashed in a series of domain battles, unleashing their most powerful weapons. Despite Gojo utilizing all of his techniques, Sukuna was able to counter with Mahoraga, effectively neutralizing Gojo’s Infinity and Megumi’s shikigami from the Ten Shadows Technique.

This highly-anticipated and epic battle finally came to an end in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236 with the death of Gojo. The outcome of the fight sparked controversy among readers, leading to countless fan theories about Gojo’s potential return. These theories were finally put to rest in Chapter 261.

Rest assured, even though the result of the upcoming battle between Gojo and Sukuna may be uncertain, Jujutsu Kaisen will be going on hiatus after the following chapter, leaving fans in anticipation for the continuation of the story.

The release date for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 is set for May 26, 2024, and it will be accessible on both Manga Plus and Viz Media.
