Recap of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 225

Details on Sukuna's Domain (Image via Shueisha/Gege Akutami)

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 225, titled Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 3, several of Gojo’s allies were seen analyzing the fight as they watched it live. They revealed that Sukuna used Domain Amplification to penetrate Gojo’s Infinity. However, Using Domain Amplification meant that Sukuna could not use his Cursed Technique.

It was further discussed that given that Sukuna’s Domain has no barrier, it is unknown what would happen when it clashed with Gojo’s domain. However, Yuta pointed out that a limited Cursed energy reserve wouldn’t become an issue for either Gojo or Sukuna. Choso and Mei Mei revealed that Yuki Tsukumo also had a Domain that she didn’t use against Kenjaku.

Back in Shinjuku, Gojo and Sukuna activated their Domains. Due to not having a Barrier, Malevolent Shrine manifested inside Unlimited Void. The two fighters found themselves at an impasse, where their Sure Hit effects nullify each other. However, Sukuna’s Domain, being active outside of Unlimited Void, destroyed Gojo’s Domain from the outside. This led to Sukuna’s Sure Hit Effect slashing Gojo’s neck.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 226

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 226 will likely reveal how Gojo plans to escape from what most readers have taken to be a sure demise. It is unlikely that Gojo will die, but he could be taken out of the battle for a while. Most readers believe that Gojo will use Reversed Cursed technique to heal himself the same way he did with Toji Fushiguro’s attack.

Others believe that Yuta Okkotsu or Shoko Ieiri may lend their strength to the Strongest Sorcerer in this regard. It’s also possible that Gojo has laid a trap for Sukuna and is letting himself be injured to serve a different purpose.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 226 may also shift focus onto Kenjaku, who is supposed to be out killing the remaining players of the Culling Game. Although the chance is slim, the chapter can also show a glimpse of Megumi, especially in the context of Gojo getting injured.
