Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 part 2 was a part of the previous chapter as due to Gege Akutami's health, a full chapter couldn't be released. The second part of the chapter saw the continuation of the battle between Yuta and Sukuna. The chapter surprisingly didn't put any light on the fully manifested Rikka.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 part 2 instead saw Inumaki's unexpected help despite not being present on the battlefield, adding more confusion to his cursed technique. The spotlight of the chapter was Yuta locked onto Sukuna with a loaded Hollow Purple cursed technique, hinting that the King of Curses could be up for some serious damage.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 part 2 was titled Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 34-2, the same as the previous chapter. The chapter commenced with Sukuna and Yuta continuing their fight in the domain after the former punched the latter in chapter 262 part 1.

Yuta realized that Rika didn't accompany him after he changed bodies with Gojo, meaning Limitless was the only technique in his arsenal because every cursed technique he had copied before was through Rika. Moreover, he also deducted that Sukuna cannot activate his cursed technique because he only had three hands, leaving the antagonist with his only option: Domain Amplification.

Yuta then tried punching Sukuna but didn't hit on-point, which made him realize again how long Gojo's limbs were, and adapting to his body in a single switch training session was impossible. By now, Sukuna had also become suspicious of Yuta's behavior.

Ryomen Sukuna was informed by Kenjaku previously about Yuta's cursed technique, which made the King of Curses realize that Rika was no longer with Yuta after he exchanged bodies with Gojo. Sukuna then concluded that Yuta could only use Limitless in Gojo's body due to Rika's absence and imagined what would happen if Kenjaku's cursed technique wore off.

Thinking about things here and there, the King of Curses remembered the last move Gojo Satoru used before he died and predicted that Yuta could also be planning to use the same cursed technique, Hollow Purple. Right then, Yuta started chanting for Hollow Purple but Sukuna was quick and stopped him from making the hand signs.

Yuta took a bargain by Lapse Blue on Sukuna and threw a recorder phone, baffling the King of Curses. However, the recorder phone uttered the words 'Don't move,' after which Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 part 2 shifted to Inumaki, standing somewhere outside the domain, coughing blood.

Sukuna realized that this was not Yuta's copy technique, but the real cursed speech technique itself. With Sukuna halted at his place, Yuta completed his chant for Hollow Purple and was ready to fire it at the ultimate antagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen anytime.

Even though the chapter was the remaining part of the previous one, it was still jam-packed with so much information, especially how Inumaki's cursed technique works. Ironically, Sukuna would likely face the same move that left him gravely injured in the last phase of the fight against Gojo Satoru.

With him no longer able to use world-cutting slash, like last time, it would be interesting to see how things unfold from that point onwards. Fortunately, the manga is back to its weekly release after the three-week break and the next chapter will be released in Shueisha's Weekly Shounen Jump issue 36.
