Jujutsu Kaisen: Chapter 267 Recap

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 267 opened with a short flashback to Satoru Gojo and Yuta Okkotsu’s training, during which Yuta requested to receive Sukuna’s final finger in order to Copy it. However, Gojo refused, stating that this would not be sufficient on its own. He referenced Inumaki’s Cursed Technique as an example, explaining that Yuta would need his assistance to master it. Gojo also directed Yuta to Yuji, who had also been exposed to Sukuna’s Cursed Technique.

Yuta provided Yuji with a concise explanation, highlighting Gojo’s confirmation of Sukuna’s Cursed Technique residing within Yuji. He also discussed the resonance issue with Mei Mei and the reason for implementing this plan just before facing Sukuna. This brought us back to the present, where Sukuna became aware of all this. The attention then turned to the whereabouts of the final finger, with Gakugani and Utahime considering the option of targeting Sukuna’s last remaining finger.

Despite the fact that Nobara had only been awake for an hour, they stressed the importance of a Binding Vow in making their plan successful. Despite her limited time, Nobara still managed to use Resonance on Sukuna’s final finger, dealing a devastating blow to him. Overcome with emotion, Yuji continued to relentlessly attack Sukuna, ultimately declaring that they needed to end this quickly before delivering a powerful Black Flash in the final panel.

What to Expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 268 (Speculative)

Essentially, in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 268, there are two main possibilities for the direction of the story. The first option would be to first delve into Sukuna’s backstory before his ultimate defeat, potentially using a whole chapter to focus on this aspect. In this scenario, the chapter may end with a brief continuation of the fight between Sukuna and Yuji, with the latter gaining the upper hand.

If the creators choose to, they could also opt to reveal Sukuna’s flashback after the climactic moment of his defeat. In this scenario, chapter 268 will most likely center on the intense battle between Yuji and Sukuna. This will likely result in Sukuna acknowledging Yuji as a skilled sorcerer and possibly even granting him the title of Special Grade. If this happens, readers can anticipate the end of the chapter to feature a cliffhanger that sets up the flashback for the upcoming release.
