The latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, 265, has set the stage for the ultimate showdown between Yuji Itadori and Ryomen Sukuna. Despite this, there are still numerous unanswered questions surrounding Yuji’s Domain Expansion. In the previous chapter, 264, we witnessed Yuji utilizing his Domain for the very first time. However, in the subsequent chapter, he and Sukuna engage in a conversation while walking through Yuji’s memories, leading to a new theory that this could be the outcome of a Binding Vow.
Some fans of Jujutsu Kaisen have put forth the theory that the exchange between Sukuna and Yuji may have taken place just before their deaths, and that Yuji’s Domain was activated as a result of Sukuna’s Binding Vow. This speculation is supported by the recurring theme of death in chapter 265 and hints at the possibility of these two men meeting their end together after their current battle.
This article includes spoilers for the series.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Using a Binding Vow to Explain Yuji’s Domain Expansion
This theory proposes that the conversation between Sukuna and Yuji in chapter 265 occurs just before their deaths. This idea is a recurring theme in the story, as characters such as Hajime Kashimo, Satoru Gojo, Choso, and others have all had final conversations or moments of reflection before their deaths. Therefore, it is possible that Sukuna and Yuji are experiencing something similar.
There is also a theory that suggests Yuji’s Domain Expansion was activated due to a Binding Vow he made to eliminate Sukuna. This vow may have been linked to a specific event that needed to occur. This event could potentially be connected to the King of Curses regaining his Cursed Technique or Reverse Cursed Technique, as seen in chapter 264.
This could possibly clarify the reason behind Yuji’s choice to utilize his Domain Expansion at that specific moment and not earlier, as he had to fulfill certain requirements. This scenario sheds light on the protagonist’s determination to sacrifice himself to protect others, a desire he had always harbored, and also the dialogue he had with the antagonist in chapter 265.
Speculating on Future Events in Upcoming Chapters
It is important to note that the above theory is merely speculation from the Jujutsu Kaisen fan community and there is no guarantee of its accuracy. The explanation behind Yuji’s Domain Expansion remains unclear, but it will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the ultimate showdown, given the protagonist’s journey to master this skill.
The upcoming chapters are highly anticipated to center on the intense battle between the two main characters, especially after the anticipation built up in chapter 265. It should be noted, however, that the subplot of Kinji Hakari and Uraume’s fight still remains, although it has become a popular joke among fans due to author Gege Akutami’s lack of focus on it.
Other Considerations
It is possible that Yuji’s Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen was activated due to a Binding Vow he made to defeat Ryomen Sukuna. However, it should be noted that this is simply speculation among fans and should not be considered definitive when considering the nature of the protagonist’s Domain.
