Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 is set to release on Monday, June 10, 2024 at 12AM JST according to the official MANGA Plus website. With Unlimited Void and Malevolent Shrine set to have a rematch thanks to Yuta Okkotsu’s latest, harrowing actions, fans have no idea what to expect from this rematch of Domain clashes.

Thankfully, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 should have some very basic spoilers coming later in the week as the release date draws nearer. However, with the spoiler process for creator Gege Akutami’s original manga series in danger (as are several others), this process is liable to stop at any time, including this week.

Fans at least know when Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 is set to release, thanks to information from Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 261 recap

Expand Tweet

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 261 began with Sukuna noticing Gojo in the distance, who was quickly revealed to be Yuta Okkotsu via the stitches on Gojo’s forehead.

It began a flashback in which Yuta discussed the idea of taking over Gojo’s body with his allies. The others were apprehensive due to the risks it posed to Yuta, with Mei Mei essentially saying that he will either die immediately, die eventually, be forced to live in Gojo’s body forever, or the plan will succeed.

The others try to argue against its ethicality, but Yuta angrily points out that they’re fighting Sukuna and they always let Gojo be “the monster.” He adds that he’ll become a monster if no one else has the guts to do it, before being seen asking Gojo about the plan.

He says that he has no issues since he doesn’t plan on losing but is upset that Shoko didn’t object. Yuta and Gojo then discuss their Fujiwara and Sugawara origins, with Gojo saying that both he and Uro were right.

He then told Yuta, Maki, Panda and Inumaki to leave, but they refused. It was then revealed this was just before he killed the higher ups, saying it’ll avoid the post-Shibuya chaos.

He thought of Geto as he entered the room, as the flashback shifted to explaining Amai’s Cursed Technique, and then showing an injured Yuta telling Shoko to go through with the plan. The issue ended in the present with Sukuna and Yuta beginning their clash of Domains.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 is titled The Decisive Battle in the Uninhabited, Demon-Infested Shinjuku 34. As seen in the previous chapter, Gojo Satoru has returned as a corpse controlled by Okkotsu Yuta. As the previous chapter ended with Sukuna and Gojo opening their domains, the next chapter could start from here.

With the return of the strongest sorcerer, it would be hard to see Yuji and Aoi steal the spotlight or even fight against the King of Curses. Moreover, the next chapter could give insight into the technique Gojo Satoru discovered to counter Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine.
