The King of Curses met his end in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 268, which was released on September 2, 2024. Despite Sukuna’s last finger still being present in the world, the chapter depicted the character’s demise. However, the fandom overlooked this important detail and continued to celebrate the defeat of the series’ main antagonist, unaware of its potential impact on the next chapter.
The final moments of the chapter left Okkotsu Yuta’s fate shrouded in uncertainty, hinting at a potentially darker outcome than anyone could have anticipated. In his dying moments, Yaga divulged the process of creating a puppet capable of producing its own cursed energy.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Predicting the Potential Power of Sukuna’s Final Finger in the Series Finale
The ending of Jujutsu Kaiseni chapter 268 left readers with a happy climax as the main protagonist trio reunited and shared a moment of relief after defeating the King of Curses. They quickly made their way to Jujutsu High to check on the well-being of Okkotsu Yuta, who had bravely used Kenjaku’s cursed technique by sacrificing his own body to possess Gojo’s.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Yuta’s fate, it remains to be seen if he will survive. The presence of Sukuna’s final finger may play a pivotal role in determining the outcome. While Nobara successfully utilized the finger to activate her Resonance technique, the fate of the powerful cursed object remains a mystery.
Therefore, it is possible that the Jujutsu High sorcerers currently possess it. However, the question remains: how will they utilize it to bring Yuta back to life? This brings us back to the final words of Masamichi Yaga, in which he disclosed the method of creating a cursed puppet capable of producing its own cursed energy to Gakuganji.
As anticipated, the truth behind it was just as astonishing, as seen from Gakuganji’s reactions. This was the very reason why Yaga had referred to it as a ‘curse’ before entrusting it to Gakuganji. So, what exactly was this secret? Unfortunately, it remained undisclosed, but it potentially involved the use of a cursed object to bring something to life.
During the Shibuya arc, when Kenjaku trapped Gojo in the Prison Realm, Geto’s body initially rebelled against him, as if trying to expel Kenjaku. However, there may still be remnants of Gojo’s consciousness within the body that Yuta is now controlling, as the sorcerer harnessed Kenjaku’s cursed technique.
After exhausting Gojo’s body, Yuta collapsed and became essentially a useless vessel with the presence of two individuals within it. Therefore, merging this body with a special-grade cursed object, such as Sukuna’s final finger, could potentially create a cursed puppet that houses the minds of Yuta, Sukuna, and Gojo.
Final Thoughts
It should be noted that this article is purely speculative in nature, as it predicts an absurd yet foreseeable outcome for the series following Sukuna’s downfall.
Sukuna’s final words (“I am a curse”) and Kenjaku’s statement (“My will will be inherited”) both suggested that the Great Merger was a real possibility. This cursed puppet, brought into existence by the misguided actions of the sorcerers, could be the catalyst for this event. Despite Kenjaku bestowing its activation rights to Megumi, Sukuna may have tampered with its conditions while still inhabiting his body.
