Miwa Takes Down Useless Label in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258

In chapter 258 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the Shinjuku Showdown appeared to be reaching its climax. Despite Sukuna’s attempts to defeat Yuji with a series of slashes and strikes in the previous chapter, he decided to use all of his remaining weapons in chapter 258.

In addition to unleashing his Domain Expansion on the remaining sorcerers on the battlefield, he sought to finally end the prolonged fight by using the Fire Arrow that had previously destroyed the city of Shibuya.

Despite this, there was also a surprising moment in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258. Kasumi Miwa, who is often deemed as “useless”by both fans and herself, surprisingly appeared in the midst of the ongoing battle. She bravely defended Maki Zen’in from Sukuna’s powerful Domain.

Miwa’s Heroic Act in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258

In chapter 258 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Ryomen Sukuna made an attempt to halt Yuji’s progress and momentum that had been steadily building over the previous few chapters. Despite Yuji’s fierce attacks and even managing to wound the King of Curses, Sukuna remained determined to stop him.

Despite their best efforts, the tides turned for the worse when Sukuna unleashed his Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine upon Yuji and his comrades on the battlefield. Although Yuji and a few others managed to hold their own, Maki Zen’in was on the brink of defeat.

Despite dealing a considerable amount of damage to the King of Curses in the previous chapters, Maki also endured two direct Black Flashes from Sukuna and a barrage of fatal slashes that ultimately incapacitated her during the fight.

Despite fans being impressed by her ability to survive Sukuna’s initial Black Flash attack, their optimism was short-lived when she was once again incapacitated by even more devastating blows. This caused even greater concern for her well-being, particularly when Sukuna unleashed his Domain.

Luckily, just in time, Kasumi Miwa arrived to rescue Maki from the vicious attack of the Malevolent Shrine. Despite her lack of presence during the ongoing battle, fans were taken aback by her sudden appearance in such a critical moment.

Despite being unable to wield her sword due to the binding vow she made during the Shibuya arc, Miwa still managed to surprise readers by coming to Maki’s aid. She utilized a Simple Domain to protect Maki from Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine, further proving her determination to support her friends even in her current state.

The Simple Domain is a protective technique that involves creating a small domain with a barrier around the sorcerer who casts it. This serves as a defense against the powerful effects of a Domain Expansion. In the current battle, both Kusakabe and Yuji have utilized a Simple Domain to shield themselves from Sukuna’s attacks and his Domain.

Although Simple Domain does somewhat counteract a Domain Expansion’s ability to guarantee a hit, it does not guarantee the complete protection of its users. In fact, as demonstrated in Yuji’s case in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258, it can be easily destroyed by a well-executed Domain Expansion within a matter of seconds.

It is uncertain at this time whether Miwa and Maki escaped Sukuna’s Domain unscathed. However, Miwa’s courage should be recognized, despite her current inability to engage in combat. In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258, Miwa’s valiant actions to save Maki’s life prove all previous criticisms of her being “useless”to be false.
