Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 is set to be officially released on Monday, July 15, 2024. However, days before its official release, the chapter's spoilers were leaked online. With that, the manga revealed Yuta Okkotsu's plan to use Hana Kurusu and Angel's Cursed Technique Jacob's Ladder to split Sukuna and Megumi's souls.
Fans are excited about the possibility of the plan working, but they are also aware of a theory that suggests that Hana and Angel's Jacob's Ladder could help save Yuta and Gojo. While neither Yuta nor Hana had thought about it, the current situation on the battlefield suggests that fans could soon see the return of Megumi, Yuta, and Gojo.

Jujutsu Kaisen theory suggests that Jacob's Ladder could be the key to saving Yuta and Gojo
As seen in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 spoilers, after Yuta Okkotsu hit Ryomen Sukuna with his Hollow Purple, he fell on the battlefield as Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo kept fighting the King of Curses.
Just as Yuji took center stage against Sukuna, Todo continued supporting him with his Boogie-Woogie. However, close to the chapter's end, Todo could be seen hitting the Vibraslap against his head to bring Hana Kurusu right above Sukuna.
With that, the manga chapter spoilers conveyed to fans through a flashback that Yuta Okkotsu had planned to use Angel's Jacob's Ladder Cursed Technique to split Sukuna and Megumi's souls. This is because, as seen in the manga previously, Jacob's Ladder was capable of separating souls.
This was also seen when Hana Kurusu used Angel's Cursed Technique to unseal Satoru Gojo and bring him back from the Prison Realm.
As per Jujutsu Kaisen fan on X @BIGDADDYGOJO, this move could also see Hana Kurusu save both Yuta and Gojo. Previously, the manga saw Hana Kurusu explain how Angel's technique involved eradicating the target's cursed technique.
Hence, considering that Yuta has only fallen on the battlefield and hasn’t died yet, it seems evident that Kenjaku’s technique hasn't been extinguished and is still active to some extent. So, if Jacob’s Ladder negated Yuta’s use of Kenjaku’s Cursed Technique, it should be able to help him return to his own body safely.
This is because Angel's technique negated a technique and did not put it to a stop. Thus, the scenario prevents Yuta's death. The manga also hinted at this through a panel that saw Hana "saving someone." The panel was depicted in a similar way to that of Michlangelo's "The Creation of Adam" painting. Apparently, the painting depicts God creating life. Hence, that panel might have been a foreshadowing of Hana possibly saving or reviving lives in the future.
With Hana using Jacob's Ladder, there is also the possibility that she saves Gojo's life. This is because Gojo's body is still alive due to Yuta using the same; and as explored by the manga, the body and soul are the same. Hence, Angel's CT could save Megumi, Yuta, and Gojo all at the same time.
However, one may wonder why Hana Kurusu might hit Yuta with the Jacob's Ladder. As fans might remember, Yuta Okkotsu, while using Satoru Gojo's body, fell on the battlefield. This suggests that his body was safe, but that does not mean that he was outside Jacob's Ladder's impact radius.
Therefore, with Hana Kurusu aiming to hit Sukuna with Angel's CT, she could end up hitting Yuta Okkotsu as well. With that, she might save Megumi and Yuta, and revive Gojo.
