Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248 recap
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248 begins with Yuji seemingly landing a hit on Sukuna with the Executioner’s Sword. However, this was revealed to not be the case, with the sword shrinking to nothing and shattering in Yuji’s hand.
Sukuna countered Yuji by using Cleave/Dismantle and realized that he didn’t get his Cursed Tool Kamutoke back after Higuruma’s death. He also noticed Yuji’s stomach was healed from his previous fatal hit. He saw Ui Ui and Kirara retrieving Higuruma’s corpse and thought they might be taking their wounded to Shoko. However, Sukuna comments that healing others is less effective than yourself.
Hence, Sukuna concluded that Yuji had learned the Reverse Cursed Technique all on his own in the past month. Sukuna considered Yuji to be a worthwhile opponent but pondered why he was irritated. He had always lived how he liked and never thought of any ideals to give his life meaning. The ideals of others, then and now, were nothing more than their dying wishes to him.
He then points to Yuji, saying it’s different from those he fought a thousand years ago because he and Yuji shared a body and their souls coexisted forcibly. He realizes that no matter what he does to Yuji, he’ll always come back because he has an unbreakable ideal.
As Sukuna prepared to fight Yuji, Kogane announced that a new rule had been added, which gave Megumi Fushiguro, and ultimately Sukuna, the authority to activate the Tengen merger.
It also suggested that Kenjaku had died and Yuta’s attack truly was successful. Sukuna declared his intent to kill Yuji and his friends and activate the merger when suddenly Yuta Okkotsu appeared. The issue ended by setting up Yuji and Yuta versus Sukuna.
What to expect (speculative)?
With Yuta’s appearance at the end of the previous issue, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 249 is all but guaranteed to delve right into his and Yuji’s fight against Sukuna. However, it's possible that fans get a brief flashback showing the fallout with Kenjaku, which fans cut away from several chapters ago.
From here, though, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 249 is certain to begin their fight, with Sukuna likely countering Rika to kick things off. That will also likely give Yuji and Yuta time to regroup, setting up a plan to attack Sukuna together and overwhelm him with their abilities.
