Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 229 spoilers show Gojo’s unlimited Void finally affecting Sukuna as Mahoraga is summoned

According to Jujutsu Kaisen spoilers, chapter 229 is titled “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 7.” The spoilers also reveal that the series will be on a break next week.

In the Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 229 spoilers, Gojo wipes off the blood on his face and heals himself with the Reversed Cursed technique as he and Sukuna engage in a battle of Domains again. This proves that Sukuna has learned how to restore his burnt-out techniques using the Reversed Cursed Technique and has just done so to expand his Domain in quick succession.

While Kusakabe thinks that Gojo should beat Sukuna into withdrawing his Domain once again, Shoko believes that if Sukuna can be exposed to Unlimited Void even once, it would be over. She posits that if the Shrine collapses within three minutes, Gojo will win.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 229 spoilers then return to the battle, where the two sorcerers go at it with full strength. Their Domains are destroyed once more, and Sukuna is left injured. The onlookers comment that Gojo is clearly the winner in the Domain battle.

The two opponents heal their Cursed Energy and cast their Domains again, but Sukuna is slower than Gojo. Even though the difference is less than 0.01 seconds (reminding readers of the infamous 0.2 seconds of Unlimited Void in Shibuya), it is enough to make Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine collapse within the stipulated three minutes.

Sukuna is finally affected by the Unlimited Void’s sure hit technique, but Gojo refuses to let him off so quickly. He wants to damage not just his heart but other vital organs so that he can feel the pain Yuji had at the Eishu Detention Center. Sukuna had held Yuji’s heart hostage and forced him into a Binding Vow. However, Sukuna manages to summon Mahoraga at the last moment.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 229 spoilers do not answer whether Sukuna switched places with the Shikigami as he did during his battle with Yorozu or has completely tamed it. The latter option seems likely as Mahoraga appears to be bigger than anything Megumi ever summoned.

Sukuna had defeated Mahoraga during the Shibuya Arc when Megumi summoned him as a last resort, sacrificing himself. However, Sukuna managed to save him while also defeating the Shikigami, winning him an ace for his fight against Gojo. Thus, it is highly likely that Sukuna has complete control over him.

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 299 spoilers, he summoned Mahoraga without the exorcism ritual while being affected by Unlimited Void. Sukuna seemingly chanted the required incantation in his mind and successfully summoned him. This goes to showcase the monstrous capabilities of the King of Curses.

Gojo prepares to destroy Mahoraga with a single hit, which makes it clear that he can win against Mahoraga and has been under no threat from the Shikigami while Megumi was possessing it. However, in Sukuna's hands, the Shikigami is strong enough to shatter Unlimited Void with a single punch from the Inside. Gojo then realizes that the Shikigami has already had enough time to adapt to his Domain.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 229 spoilers leave it unclear how Sukuna managed to summon Mahoraga with such ease. He likely tamed him off-panel and can use it freely, unlike any of its owners. Gojo is put in a tough spot, dealing with the King of Curses and the King of Shikigamis. The tides have shifted in favor of Sukuna with Mahoraga’s appearance.
