Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 268 will be released on Monday, September 2, 2024. However, the spoilers for the same are already out and have revealed the events that will take place in the upcoming chapter.

The manga finally saw Satoru Gojo inform Megumi Fushiguro about his father, Toji Fushiguro. However, the scene depicting this was as anti-climatic as possible. As fans might remember, Gojo killed Toji Fushiguro, but he could not tell Megumi about it in person and was forced to do so with a letter.

Jujutsu Kaisen's latest chapter saw Yuji Itadori finally separate Ryomen Sukuna from Megumi's body. With that, Megumi Fushiguro was finally freed from Sukuna's clutches. As for Sukuna, only his residuals remained, which, from the context, seemed like his end.

Following that, the manga saw Megumi reunite with Yuji and Nobara at Jujutsu Tech. During this, Yuji Itadori gave Nobara and Megumi letters by Gojo, which Shoko Ieiri handed over to him.

As fans might remember, after Satoru Gojo died and reached the afterlife, he reunited with his deceased best friend, Suguru Geto. During their conversation, Gojo revealed that he had tasked Shoko to tell Megumi about the death of his father, Toji Fushiguro.

Gojo was the one who killed him; hence, he wanted to tell Megumi himself after the battle. However, as he was unsure about his chances of survival, he thought of a plan to convey the message after his death.

After Gojo's death, Shoko handed over two letters to Yuji addressed to Nobara and Megumi. While the letter addressed to Nobara Kugisaki had details about her mother's whereabouts, the letter to Megumi conveyed that Gojo had killed his father.

Satoru Gojo's letter to Megumi Fushiguro:

“Unfortunately your father isn't around anymore- because I killed him!! Sorry!!”

As fans might remember, when Gojo met Megumi for the first time after his battle with Toji, he wanted to tell Megumi that he was responsible for killing his father. However, Megumi was uninterested in learning about his father and stopped Gojo from sharing further.

Hence, all this time, it seemed like Megumi was sensitive about the topic surrounding his father. This was why Gojo wished to inform him at any cost. Surprisingly, Megumi wasn't emotionally attached to his father, as right after he read Gojo's letter, he started laughing wholeheartedly.

There is a chance that Megumi started laughing because of how Gojo apologized and expressed his father's death in the letter. Nevertheless, the entire sequence was underwhelming, as fans thought it would heavily impact Megumi, triggering memories about his parents. Instead, it turned into a slice-of-life gag scene where Yuji and Nobara were flabbergasted after reading the letter.
