Jujutsu Kaisen: Ino, not Yuji, may be the first target of Sukuna’s Flame

The conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 left fans on a cliffhanger as Sukuna unleashed his Flame to destroy the remaining sorcerers. This has caused speculation that some characters may meet their demise. While there are valid reasons for multiple sorcerers to perish in the upcoming chapters, it is highly likely that Takuma Ino will be the next casualty.

Despite facing the formidable Sukuna, Ino quickly became the most respected and appreciated character among the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom. This was due to his unwavering determination to confront the King of Curses and his consistent efforts to assist in crucial ways throughout the battle.

Accordingly, Sukuna may choose to target sorcerers individually, and since Ino has been a constant source of annoyance, he could be his primary target.

This article includes spoilers for the series.

Explaining Why Ino Might Be Sukuna’s Next Victim in the Jujutsu Kaisen Manga

It is highly likely that Sukuna will target Takuma Ino due to his disruptive actions during the battle against the sorcerers. While the King of Curses was occupied with multiple individual fights, such as those against Yuji Itadori and Maki Zen’in, Ino used himself as a distraction, providing an opportunity for the other sorcerers to attack him.

Sukuna’s attempt to use his Flame Arrow at the end of Chapter 258 indicates that he is no longer playing around in the fight. Defeating Ino would allow him to concentrate on the other sorcerers, who are stronger than Nanami Kento’s student. It is worth noting, however, that Sukuna has the ability to attack multiple characters at once, potentially resulting in Ino being one of the casualties.

Despite this, it cannot be denied that Ino’s reputation has improved due to his performance against Sukuna in the battle. Although he may not be as powerful as the King of Curses, Ino has proven to be a valuable asset and has honored Nanami’s legacy by utilizing his Cursed Weapon effectively.

Possible Developments in Future Chapters

It is highly likely that Sukuna will suffer some losses in the upcoming chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen, as it would be the most reasonable progression given the current events and the character’s past actions. With his Domain Expansion activated and his Flame Arrow ready to be unleashed, it is not surprising that he may claim the lives of more sorcerers, given his track record of killing them.

It should be noted that the upcoming chapters may reveal further developments in the ongoing battle between Hakari and Uraume, a conflict that has been put on hold ever since Satoru Gojo’s passing over twenty chapters ago. Additionally, there is a potential for Yuta Okkotsu to make a comeback to the battlefield, or at least provide an update on his situation after his defeat by Sukuna.

Concluding Remarks

Ino may be the next victim in Jujutsu Kaisen as he has become a nuisance to the King of Curses and Sukuna appears eager to end the fight swiftly.
