Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 264 Spoilers: Sukuna Evades Jacob’s Ladder as Yuji Unleashes His Domain

It was highly anticipated that Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 would reveal Hana Kurusu, also known as Angel, joining the fight against Ryomen Sukuna. The official English translation will be available on Monday, July 29, 2024, at 12:00 am JST in Shueisha’s Weekly Shone Jump issue 35, following a one-week hiatus.

In the previous chapter, Yuta (in Gojo’s body) collapsed because his Copied Technique had burned out, but the attack was still carried out by Yuji Itadori and Todo Aoi. Todo used all means available to maintain Boogie Woogie while Yuji inflicted explosive damage on Sukuna.

In an impressive display, he employed Dismantle on the gap between Sukuna and Megumi Fushiguro’s souls in hopes of awakening the latter. Eventually, Hana Kurusu arrived and unleashed her powerful technique, Maximum Output: Jacob’s Ladder.

Warning: The following article reveals key plot details from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264.

The spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 reveal that the title of the chapter is “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 36.”It continues where chapter 263 ended, with the arrival of Hana Kurusu, also known as Angel. Upon seeing Hana, Yuji reacts by punching the ground, causing Sukuna to lose balance as Jacob’s Ladder appears from above.

Despite having no other choice, the Demon King resorts to using broken pieces of rock as a foothold to charge towards the levitating Hana, enduring her attacks along the way. He observes that unlike Yuta’s Copied version, Hana’s original technique has a wider range and can also target Yuji and Todo.

Therefore, by ascending the pillar of light, he could easily reach its castor without any hindrance. Angel’s warning to her host may have been delayed, as Sukuna was already poised to strike from behind. However, he noticed that Angel’s attack lacked the same intensity as before, and he quickly readied himself to unleash a Black Flash.

The spoilers for chapter 264 of Jujutsu Kaisen reveal that Todo Aoi bravely intervened at the final moment to shield Hana from harm. The impact of the attack was so powerful that it sent both of them flying backwards. This selfless act impressed Sukuna, who recognized Todo as a worthy Jujutsu sorcerer. Sukuna then planned to go after Angel, but was unexpectedly stopped by Yuji, who appeared from Jacob’s Ladder.

Despite suffering burns, the boy managed to reach the top of the pillar of light where the Demon King was waiting. Once within reach, Yuji punched Sukuna in the face and then proceeded to grab his legs and slam him into a nearby building. In a swift move, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 spoilers reveal Yuji attempting to use his Shrine Technique to destabilize Sukuna once more, but the Demon King reacted with great speed.

After delivering a powerful punch, he sends Yuji flying backwards. The narrator then discloses that Sukuna had regained his Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT) and was able to regenerate his lost arms by using two additional Black Flashes.

Taking advantage of Yuji’s disorientation, Sukuna launches a series of attacks to his face and body. He is under the impression that Yuji’s Dismantle technique only works on the boundary between souls and is ineffective without physical contact.

Despite facing opposition from Sukuna, Yuji refuses to back down. He persists in using Dismantle once more, only to be struck with a powerful blow from Sukuna. In a sudden flashback, Gojo Satoru’s teachings on Domains come to mind, reminding Yuji of their game-like enhancements and guaranteed effectiveness. Returning to the present, spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 reveal Yuji confidently forming the handsign for Domain Expansion.

The narrator interjects, mentioning that Yuji had acquired a good understanding of barrier techniques through his practice of body swapping with Atsuya Kusakabe, which ultimately helped him comprehend Domains.

The spoilers for chapter 264 of Jujutsu Kaisen reveal Sukuna at an unfamiliar location, occupying Yuji’s body. The boy approaches him for another fight, and the spoilers conclude with the editor’s remark that both Sukuna and Yuji’s decisive battles have now entered a mysterious Domain.

Despite the general expectation that Sukuna would somehow avoid Hana’s surprise attack, the King of Curses has always been prepared with a backup plan for any situation. So far, Sukuna has only been caught off guard on certain occasions by Yuji’s determined pursuit to defeat him.

This time, it was Yuji who surprised everyone. According to spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264, Yuji’s use of Domain Expansion will greatly impact the outcome of the battle. Even Sukuna was caught off guard by this move. It was a highly anticipated moment for the fandom and it seems to be a spectacular one.
