Jujutsu Kaisen: Choso may still live on in Yuji, and a hidden detail from Akutami proves it

The focus of Jujutsu Kaisen’s 259th chapter was Choso’s demise caused by Ryomen Sukuna, causing a frenzy among the fandom as the loss of a beloved character affected many. Despite evoking feelings of sadness, it is likely that this was a fitting end for the character, as a small detail in the chapter hints that Choso’s legacy will continue through Yuji.

Choso’s identity as a half-Curse, half-human is a crucial element of his character in Jujutsu Kaisen. In chapter 259 of the manga, it is revealed that he is Yuji’s brother, suggesting that he and his other brothers now reside within Yuji. It is likely that Yuji will continue to embody Choso’s will.

Please be aware that this article contains spoilers for the series.

A New Theory in Jujutsu Kaisen: The Possibility of Choso Living on Through Yuji

According to user @tirednsleepy13, a new theory on X proposes that Yuji Itadori has consumed Choso’s brothers as Cursed Death Womb Paintings to gain Blood Manipulation abilities. This theory suggests that Yuji may now face a similar fate as Choso’s brothers. While the details of this theory are limited, it implies that a physical part of Choso may reside within Yuji, rather than just a symbolic or emotional connection.

In chapter 259, a scene featuring Choso discussing his connection with his brothers and their shared presence with Yuji lends support to the idea that Yuji may have consumed them. The panel also depicts Yuji and Choso running together with nine white orbs, possibly symbolizing the reunion of the siblings.

Although it may seem unlikely, it could further support Choso’s earlier statement in the current arc about his brothers living on through Yuji. This could serve as the ultimate manifestation of that concept and ultimately strengthen the bond between Yuji and Choso.

Undoubtedly, the passing of Choso in chapter 259 of Jujutsu Kaisen was a devastating moment for many fans, who are still coming to terms with his death. Choso’s character was well-loved by the audience for his unwavering loyalty to his brothers and his willingness to do anything to ensure their safety or seek revenge for them.

Throughout the manga, Choso has consistently demonstrated his selflessness by prioritizing the safety of his brothers above his own. This was prominently showcased in chapter 259 when he made the ultimate sacrifice for Yuji’s sake.

Final thoughts

It seems that Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 may hint at Choso reuniting with his brothers, as evident from his dialogue in the panels where he mentions that they are all together with Yuji. Nonetheless, the series has yet to confirm if they have truly merged within him.
