The chapter began with the revelation that Gojo had reactivated his RCT (reverse-cursed technique) while battling Sukuna, thanks to his awakened state. The focus then shifted back to the ongoing fight, where Sukuna was unable to utilize his RCT due to the injuries he sustained from Itadori’s Black Flash techniques.

In order to distance himself from the sorcerer, he quickly activated his domain expansion, Malevolent Shrine. However, due to the excessive number of times he had used it in the past few hours, his domain was incomplete. As his domain expanded, the chapter included a flashback to Itadori’s training.

Hakari stated that in order to participate in battle, sorcerers must possess the ability to utilize both RCT and anti-domain cursed techniques. Despite the fact that Yuji (and Maki) were the only ones who could wield these techniques, Choso insisted that his brother was also capable of using RCT. In an effort to educate Itadori on the mechanics of replenishing lost blood through cursed energy, Choso questioned the sorcerers on their methods.

Shoko mentioned that she had transformed her cursed energy into blood, prompting Choso to agree. However, in order for Itadori to master RCT in a short period, Choso suggested that his brother consume the remaining Death Painting Wombs, which would grant him the ability to control blood as well as inherit RCT.

Despite this, he insisted on Itadori understanding the fundamentals of RCT and therefore requested one of the sorcerers to teach his brother. Kusakabe interjected, assuring them that Itadori would grasp the technique easily since his body had already adapted to high-level techniques during his time as Sukuna’s vessel.

Ui Ui’s cursed technique allowed for soul-swap training, which Yuji utilized to learn RCT (and Simple Domain) from Kusakabe. Despite erecting an anti-domain to counter Sukuna’s domain during the fight, Itadori was still struck by the King of Curses’ cursed technique.

As Sukuna’s domain dissipated, the sorcerers were finally able to catch their breath and let out a sigh of relief. However, their relief was short-lived as Sukuna wasted no time and immediately unleashed his flame-cursed technique, chanting Fuga and revealing its name – Divine Flame.

During the Shibuya Arc, Ryomen Sukuna activated the Divine Flame for the first time in a battle against Jogo, an unregistered special-grade cursed spirit. To everyone’s surprise, Sukuna’s Flame proved to be stronger than Jogo’s, despite the fact that Jogo’s true innate technique revolved around flames.

Additionally, the reason for Sukuna’s possession of a flame-cursed technique remains unknown, as his natural ability was centered around cutting (Dismantle and Cleave). Fans can expect to potentially learn more about Sukuna’s Flame in the upcoming release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 on May 13, 2024.

The main focus of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 is emphasized.

The release date and time for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 will be discussed.
