Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269 Reveals Akutami’s Deception About Yuta’s Survival

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269 is scheduled for release on September 16, 2024, but spoilers about the chapter, including Yuta’s survival, have already emerged. In chapter 268, Nobara returned, and Fushiguro Megumi was freed from Sukuna’s control, leading the characters to a location where they hoped to save him.

However, spoilers for chapter 269 indicate that Yuta was saved as his soul transferred back to his original body. The surprising aspect of this situation is how the author misled the audience, as previous indications were misleading. Additionally, there was no explanation as to how Yuta managed to return to his body, which raises questions about Kenjaku’s cursed technique.

Why Yuta’s Survival Sparks Controversy in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269

Chapter 269 of Jujutsu Kaisen picks up where the previous chapter ended, showing Yuji and his friends entering Jujutsu High, where they aimed to find a way to heal Yuta and restore him to his original body. Surprisingly, Yuta was already inside his original body, with Maki expressing her frustration over his reckless behavior.

According to the chapter, Yuta’s return was facilitated by Rika, who kept his body sustained with a reverse cursed technique, effectively preventing deterioration and enabling his soul to transfer back from Gojo Satoru’s corpse.

Nevertheless, this revelation was controversial and misleading. Chapter 268 showcased the dramatic returns of Nobara and Fushigoro, with Nobara delivering the final blow to Ryomen Sukuna and Fushigoro’s unwavering determination separating Sukuna from his body.

When the main protagonists reunited, Yuji reminded everyone of their mission to bring Yuta Okkotsu back, who was believed to have transferred his consciousness into Gojo Satoru. Upon reaching the school, they heard Maki’s screams, suggesting that Yuta’s revival was impossible.

Contrary to this, during the events revealed in chapter 269 spoilers, Yuta had already transferred his consciousness back into his original body with Rika’s assistance. Without clarification in future chapters, this conflicting narrative could turn into one of the largest controversies in the series.

Questions Regarding Kenjaku’s Cursed Technique

Kenjaku is a primary antagonist in the series whose cursed technique Okkotsu Yuta utilized to transfer his soul into Gojo Satoru to combat the King of Curses. After a well-fought battle, Okkotsu Yuta eventually kills Kenjaku.

Yuta’s ability to return to his original body complicates the understanding of Kenjaku’s cursed technique, which was previously thought to confine soul transfers to a singular method. This raises questions about the mechanics of Kenjaku’s technique, differentiating it from other techniques like Ui Ui’s curse, suggesting a deeper exploration of Kenjaku’s abilities in the future.
