Jujutsu Kaisen: Gege Akutami apologizes for Chapter 262

Gege Akutami has apologized for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 262, which will showcase the domain clash between Sukuna and Yuta.

The Shinjuku Showdown Arc of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga is reaching its conclusion. Despite the ongoing battle against the King of Curses for over a year, the villain remains relentless. In Chapter 261, Yuta makes the ultimate sacrifice by giving up his humanity.

Despite the sorcerers’ numerous attempts to defeat the King of Curses, they eventually had to resort to their last option. Convincing everyone to let Yuta take over Gojo’s body was a difficult task, but it was the only solution as Sukuna had to be cut in half to be defeated.

The latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 262, showcases the intense battle between Sukuna and Yuta, although it is a mere seven pages in length. Additionally, the issue includes a stunning double-spread cover featuring Yuta (in Gojo’s body) and Sukuna. Furthermore, this week’s edition of Weekly Shonen Jump also boasts a special cover featuring Jujutsu Kaisen.
