What to expect from chapter 218? (speculative)

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 218 will most likely begin with Mahoraga being summoned, given that this was where the previous issue left off ,and author and illustrator Gege Akutami is surely aware that readers are eager to see exactly what Sukuna’s Mahoraga is capable of.

The issue will likely then see Mahoraga struggle versus Yorozu’s flesh armor, which she made via her Construction Cursed Technique. While there isn’t currently any evidence for Mahoraga’s struggle, it would be questionable on Akutami’s part to have Mahoraga instantly eliminate what appears to be Yorozu’s ultimate defense.

Likewise, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 218 is unlikely to end with a definitive victor in the Sukuna versus Yorozu fight. With the bout only having just begun in chapter 217, Akutami will likely draw this out to be at least a 3-chapter battle, with even more issues beyond that mark likely. As a result, fans can get comfortable and anticipate a long stretch of issues focused solely on Yorozu and Sukuna struggling against each other with their best moves.

Chapter 217 recap

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 217 began with Yorozu and Sukuna kicking off their fight, making jokes about their shared history, and why each is keeping the face of their vessel. The two then began their fight in earnest, engaging in a flurry of blows that culminated in Yorozu putting over her love for Sukuna.

Yorozu continued to do this, even asking Sukuna for his hand in marriage should she win, to which he agreed while emphasizing that there’s no way she’ll win. The two then resumed their fight until Yorozu noticed that Sukuna was only using Megumi’s technique, upsetting and enraging her.

This led to Yorozu using her Cursed Technique Construction to create a living armor that pulled from various evolutionary branches of life. In response, Sukuna began summoning Mahoraga via the Ten Shadows Technique as the issue came to an end.
