Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269: Yuta is saved but not from Maki’s anger
Dubbed “Reflection,”Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269 opened with Mei Mei at a candy shop, where she inquired about the costs of a candy packet from an elderly shopkeeper.
The narrative quickly returned to the chaotic scene where Maki yelled at Yuta, initially making fans think she was mourning his death.
In reality, Yuta was intact in his true form, facing Maki’s anger for not devising a proper strategy against Sukuna. The primary trio led by Megumi entered the room, where Maki asked him about his condition post his encounter with Gojo’s Infinite Void.
As Yuji and Megumi began to apologize, Kusakabe interrupted, placing the blame for the situation on the adult sorcerers’ choices, insisting the younger ones like Yuji and Megumi acted out of youth.
The focus shifted to Yuta as he discussed his unusual survival method; he explained that Rika kept his body alive with reverse cursed technique after Shoko performed surgery, allowing him to return even after he thought he was dead due to Kenjaku’s powers.
Mei Mei and Kusakabe confirmed that Kenjaku had access to previous users whose bodies remained intact. Yuta explained that when Gojo’s body ceased functioning, he entered ‘suspended animation’ until his soul could reunite with his true body.
Maki, however, expressed her dissatisfaction, pointing out two critical failures: she suggested she should have delivered the final blow to Kenjaku while Yuta faced Sukuna, and that Higuruma should have utilized the voice recorder technique during his battle with Sukuna for a swift victory.
Aoi chimed in, claiming she was an unsuitable target for the new Boogie Woogie technique. Yuta’s abilities were essential for managing the surge of cursed spirits released post Kenjaku’s defeat.
Panda elaborated that utilizing cursed speech during Higuruma’s previous battle would have fatal repercussions for Inumaki, reinforcing the risks involved.
Chapter 269 confirmed Higuruma’s survival alongside Yuji, who explained he employed Inumaki’s cursed speech during the fight against Sukuna, understanding that he would lose regardless.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269: Allies rally to support Yuta against Maki’s criticisms
After Maki’s accusations were rebutted, she shifted focus to the overseas sorcerers, questioning their tardiness and impact on Sukuna’s defeat.
Yuta offered a different perspective, emphasizing that the arrival of the international sorcerers played a crucial role, although Maki remained unmoved. Itadori noted that Yuta’s cursed tools were vital in concealing the cursed fingers.
Maki dismissed Yuji’s arguments, prompting Hakari to point out that Rika’s assistance facilitated their entry to battle after Gojo’s fall.
This initiated a round of apologies among the group. Aoi expressed regret for failing to assist Choso and Yuji, impacting Choso’s fate. Kirara admitted her inability to perform due to Sukuna’s overwhelming cursed energy, echoed by Ino’s struggles.
Ultimately, Yuji summarized the situation by insisting no one was to blame. Maki, embarrassed, then playfully punched Yuta in the chest, indicating her forgiveness.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269: Uncovering the truth behind the New Shadow Style – Simple Domain’s Binding Vow
After the confessions, Ui Ui lightened the mood by claiming he was the real MVP of the encounter with Sukuna, leading Kirara to contest his claim. Kusakabe’s criticism then shifted to Mei Mei, pointing out her carefree attitude while her brother was on the front lines saving lives.
Ui Ui defended Mei Mei, asserting her rest was justified given her efforts to resolve the ‘New Shadow Style’ predicament.
Kusakabe elaborated on this issue, revealing that activating Simple Domain required a Binding Vow, created by Ashiya Sadatsuna, which restricted access to the New Shadow Style members.
The Binding Vow was designed so the school’s head could potentially deprive users of their lifespan. However, this remained unconfirmed, as many individuals still thrived after employing this technique, highlighting the mystery surrounding the school’s leadership.
Upon Mei Mei’s prompt, Kusakabe disclosed that he was currently the school’s head since the strongest student would succeed the previous head after their death, thereby resolving the lifespan theft issue.
The chapter then revisited the opening scene of Mei Mei at the candy shop, revealing the old man as the New Shadow Style School’s head.
She disclosed how Tengen located the old man, uncovering his plan to dominate the Jujutsu Society by siphoning lifespans for eternal life.
The episode concluded with Mei Mei eliminating the old man, subsequently making Kusakabe the new head of the school.
