The purported spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 were expected to reveal the beginning of the showdown between Sukuna and Yuji within the latter’s domain. True to expectations, these spoilers did not disappoint as they depicted Megumi Fushiguro finally retaliating against Sukuna. Yuji’s swift responses also took Sukuna by surprise.

In the previous chapter, Yuji Itadori had requested Ryomen Sukuna for a chance to speak with him. Taking advantage of this, Yuji led Sukuna to different places that held significance in his past and opened up to him about it. Through this conversation, Sukuna came to understand that Yuji felt sorry for him. This realization angered Sukuna, who then made a threat to harm Yuji and those dear to him.

Please note: This article includes spoilers from the manga Jujutsu Kaisen.

The purported spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 began with Yuji Itadori hearing Megumi Fushiguro’s inner thoughts. His desire was to build a world where his sister Tsumiki would not have to endure the injustices of the present society. And if that was not possible, he simply hoped to protect her delicate existence while he was alive and able to keep her close.

Megumi desired to indulge in her usual meals, admire the laundry in the sunshine, take leisurely walks with someone like Yuji, bid farewell to Tsumiki, and reminisce, “Oh, how content I am.”She concluded the conversation by saying, “But everything is fine now.”

Following this, the spoilers for chapter 266 of Jujutsu Kaisen revealed that Yuji had shared his newfound understanding of the difficult decisions individuals must make when confronted with harsh and inevitable circumstances. His grandfather, Wasuke Itadori, had been diagnosed with lung cancer, but he made the decision to forego aggressive treatments due to their severe side effects.

Despite having a strong and resilient body himself, Yuji struggled to comprehend his grandfather’s choice to reject treatment and the concept of euthanasia. He saw it as an issue that didn’t directly affect him. However, his perspective began to shift after enrolling in Jujutsu Tech and experiencing numerous agonizing situations, leading him to eventually grasp the same understanding.

As a result, Yuji struggled to encourage Megumi to keep living. He empathized with the depths of Megumi’s sadness and couldn’t bring himself to urge his friend to continue experiencing life.

After revealing Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 spoilers, the story returned to the present where Ryomen Sukuna activated Hollow Wicker Basket to counter Yuji’s domain. As the King of Curses, he struggled to use Gojo’s technique of resetting the burnt-out Cursed Technique by employing the Reverse Cursed Technique. Sukuna deemed the execution too dangerous, especially with his brain still affected by Gojo’s domain.

Following this, the spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 clarified that Hollow Wicker Basket and Simple Domain have a lower output than true domains. However, by maintaining the hand sign even after activating Hollow Wicker Basket, Sukuna was able to compensate for the potential lack of power and effectively continue fighting against Yuji’s domain without being overwhelmed.

After engaging in a brief fight, Sukuna and Yuji were met with the King of Curses’ furious declaration of being underestimated. As a result, he was eager to make all humans, except for Yuji, pay for their actions.

Out of nowhere, spoilers for chapter 266 of Jujutsu Kaisen shifted to a young Megumi in the alley where he first encountered Satoru Gojo. Megumi posed the same inquiry to Yuji that he had to Gojo, “What’s with that expression?”Yuji then expressed to Fushiguro that it would be a sorrowful situation without him.

In the following moment, leaked spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 revealed that Sukuna’s left leg had disappeared into the shadows. Megumi Fushiguro had at last begun to retaliate. Despite Sukuna’s attempt to submerge Megumi’s soul with the “Bath,”Yuji’s Dismantle had revived it. The King of Curses was unable to utilize either Mahoraga or Ten Shadow Technique, as the former had been destroyed and the latter had lost its effectiveness.

After landing a powerful punch on Sukuna’s face, Yuji sent him flying. It was then that he noticed Megumi had also joined in the fight. The two continued to exchange punches, resulting in Sukuna’s defeat as he resorted to using the Hollow Wicker Basket to defend himself against Yuji’s relentless attacks.

Knowing that his Reverse Cursed Technique would be ineffective against Yuji’s Dismantle, Sukuna also knew that the Hollow Wicker Basket would eventually shatter. However, in the blink of an eye, swift slashes emerged and the cursed tool in Yuji’s hand shattered into pieces. It was then that Yuji realized Sukuna had utilized Gojo’s technique to reset his exhausted Cursed Technique.

Immediately after, the leaked spoilers for chapter 266 of Jujutsu Kaisen revealed that Ryomen Sukuna had activated his domain. However, Yuji was able to swiftly respond and open his own domain even faster, surprising Sukuna. The manga chapter concluded with a scene of one of Sukuna’s fingers being bound in an unknown location.
