Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 recap
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 began with the narrator explaining how Gojo reorganized the stress on his brain once regarding his Reverse Cursed Technique after landing two Black Flashes. It’s then revealed that Sukuna intended to do the same, but Yuji’s Black Flashes being aimed at the boundary of his and Megumi’s souls stopped him from doing this. However, via a change of palm signs and a Binding Vow, Sukuna was able to regain his Domain Expansion.
A flashback then began, revealing that Choso and Yuji can use Reverse Cursed Technique without its main drawback of spending too much Cursed Energy, and converting CE into replacement blood. Fans then saw that Ui Ui swapped the souls of Yuji and Kusakabe (as well as others) so Kusakabe could teach Yuji’s body CE Manipulation and Anti-Barrier Techniques. In the present, Yuji began using Kusakabe’s Simple Domain to counter Sukuna’s Domain.
It was then explained that Sukuna created a barrierless Domain as he did in Shibuya, in order to eliminate an “escape route” and to activate the guaranteed hit so it would affect Maki. However, it was also said he could only maintain such a high-level Domain for 99 seconds in his current state. Yuji’s Simple Domain then broke, cutting off his left leg, which he immediately regenerated.
The issue ended with Sukuna activating his Divine Flames ability seen in Shibuya.
What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 (speculative)
With Sukuna clearly intending to end this fight heading into Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259, fans can safely assume that the endgame of this long battle is finally at hand. However, Sukuna’s current advantage over Yuji and co is one that the latter group will find incredibly difficult to overcome.
Likewise, chapter 259 could see someone like Yuta Okkotsu return to the battlefield in order to give Yuji and co their best chance at defeating Sukuna. That being said, it’s just as likely that the upcoming chapter sees Sukuna begin picking off the remaining sorcerers one at a time as he begins setting up his total victory.
More details about Sukuna's divine Flames will also be revealed. There have been speculations regarding the origin of Sukuna's two Cursed Techniques, with many fans theorizing that "Divine Flames" is, in fact, Sukuna's Innate technique. Shrine might be a technique Sukuna inherited from his twin whom he had absorbed in the womb. Akutami might decide to shine more light on this matter in chapter 259.
