Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269: Discover Which Characters Survived

The Shinjuku Showdown arc has reached its conclusion, with a significant victory against Sukuna. This achievement was monumental, yet it came at a tragic cost, claiming a few innocent lives in the process.

The recent leaks from the latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen showcase a pivotal discussion among the surviving characters post-battle against Sukuna. The previous chapter ended with Itadori and his companions heading to meet Yuuta, and the latest installment picks up precisely from that moment. This article explores who managed to survive and recount their harrowing encounter with Sukuna.

Yuuta is Still Alive

The chapter opens with Yuuta detailing his escape from Gojo’s body. Upon the arrival of Itadori, Megumi, and Nobara, they find Maki questioning Megumi intensely. Itadori inquired about Yuuta’s escape, to which Yuuta explained that during his possession of Gojo’s body, Rika left him temporarily. However, Rika returned to Yuuta’s original form, healing it so he could resume it at any time.

Yuuta, a crucial player in the offensive against Sukuna, stands as one of the most formidable sorcerers remaining, especially after Gojo’s demise. Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen can breathe a sigh of relief knowing he is safe.

Maki Managed to Survive Sukuna’s Onslaught

In the thick of the Shinjuku Showdown arc, Maki exhibited exceptional prowess during the confrontation with Sukuna, assisted by Itadori, Choso, and Higuruma. Maki’s extraordinary abilities, enhanced by her awakening in the culling game arc and her inherent superior physical attributes from heavenly restrictions, made her a formidable opponent akin to Fushiguro Toji.

In the heat of battle, Maki faced Sukuna’s Black Flash twice before vanishing. It appears she was rescued by Ui Ui’s teleportation, but the details were unclear until now.

Higuruma Survived With Just a Few Injuries

Higuruma demonstrates incredible potential within Jujutsu Kaisen. Just two months post-awakening as a sorcerer, he exhibited dominance in the culling game and showcased his unique domain expansion.

During the confrontation, Higuruma declared Sukuna guilty, initiating his execution. However, Sukuna’s cursed energy wasn’t seized due to a rule stating that if the accused possesses a cursed tool, it is confiscated first. This loophole in Higuruma’s domain led to his defeat.

Despite Sukuna’s onslaught, Higuruma survived with minor injuries. According to leaks from Chapter 269, if Sukuna had been more earnest during their duel, Higuruma might not have lived to narrate his experience.

Everyone Else That Survived

Itadori naturally survived, along with Fushiguro and Nobara, thanks to good fortune.

The latest chapter also reveals that other characters involved in the Shinjuku Showdown arc, whose fates were previously unknown, are also alive. Kusakabe, who had been prominently featured during the battles, is among the survivors.

Inumaki is likewise unharmed, alleviating fans’ concerns since Yuuta had used Inumaki’s cursed speech to strike Sukuna. Fortunately, no harm befell Inumaki as Sukuna was already weakened.

The survival of everyone from the Kyoto school post-conflict further solidifies safety, most having opted out of the fight with Sukuna. Todo Aoi, who was deeply involved in the battle due to his enhanced boogie woogie technique, made considerable contributions yet emerged unscathed.

When Will Chapter 269 Release?

Chapter 269 of Jujutsu Kaisen is set to release on September 15th. It will be available through official sources such as MangaPlus and Shonen Jump.
