Recap of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 265

Chapter 265 of Jujutsu Kaisen opened with Sukuna speculating that the ongoing situation was a result of sorcerers engaging in a battle of emotions, as Cursed Energy is deeply rooted in human feelings. However, he quickly dismisses this idea and questions Yuji about his use of Domain Expansion. Yuji admits that he’s unsure since he unleashed it spontaneously during their intense fight, and he expresses a desire to have a conversation with Sukuna about it.

Essentially, the chapter depicts Yuji revisiting significant places and memories from his past, accompanied by Sukuna. They take a stroll through his childhood hometown, visit familiar spots where he used to play, and engage in activities that brought him joy. During this journey, Yuji reflects on his previous belief that life was about fulfilling one’s purpose and being content with it. However, his perspective has now shifted due to recent events.

According to him, the remnants of one’s memory that remain after death are what hold significance in one’s life and humans should not be treated as mere instruments. He had hoped to convey this to Sukuna, but the latter remains indifferent and unimpressed. However, Sukuna soon realizes that Yuji is feeling sorry for him. The chapter concludes with Yuji confirming this and demanding Sukuna to return to his body, warning that he will kill him otherwise. Sukuna, on the other hand, adamantly refuses and even threatens Yuji.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266 (Speculative)

Having concluded their conversation, Yuji and Sukuna will undoubtedly kick off chapter 266 of Jujutsu Kaisen with Yuji commanding his Domain Expansion to attack Sukuna. As a result, the bond between Sukuna’s soul and Megumi’s body, which was already weakened, will be further diminished, potentially leading to Megumi’s liberation. However, Sukuna will not go down without a fight and will surely devise a way to counter Yuji’s Domain Expansion.

It is highly probable that Sukuna will transform into his Heian era form during the fight, utilizing a Hollow Wicker Basket to counter Yuji’s Domain and retaliate against him. The encounter is expected to conclude with Yuji reconnecting with Megumi’s soul, leading to a discussion about life in the next release.
