Chapter 219 recap

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 219 began with a flashback to the Heian era. During this flashback, Sukuna and Yorozu met for the first time. Fans also got to see Sukuna’s full, original body.

Upon seeing Sukuna, Yorozu rushed to his side, with the intention of professing her love to him. However, she was slashed and killed by Uraume before being given the chance to do so.

The issue then returned to the present, where Yorozu was shown to have created a Perfect Sphere and activated her Domain Expansion called Threefold Affliction. She questioned why Sukuna wasn’t using his own Domain Expansion, expressing that she was sure he would die if she attacked him with her Domain active.

Sukuna then summoned Mahoraga, who broke through the Perfect Sphere and attacked Yorozu. Yorozu expressed happiness at being killed by Sukuna, seemingly creating something for him to use with her Cursed Technique. However, fans didn’t see what it was.

The issue ended with Megumi Fushiguro sinking into the abyss, seemingly suggesting that he may be forever lost to Sukuna’s power.


What to expect (speculative)

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 220 will likely begin with confirmation of whether or not Megumi is totally lost following the death of his sister. Whether or not he’s fully gone will greatly affect how the rest of the issue plays out.

This article will assume that Megumi is confirmed to be fully gone. Following this confirmation, fans will likely be taken to Yuji’s group, who will have treated everyone’s injuries and regrouped with Yuta Okkotsu and others by this point. If this is the case, readers will see the group summarize their options and a new plan of attack.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 220 is expected to cement their number one priority as freeing Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm. It will likely be revealed that this is the best chance they have at both defeating Kenjaku and rescuing Megumi.
