Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 is set to release on Monday, July 15, 2024, at 12 am JST, according to the official MANGA Plus website. Following the series’ return, it seems that one way or another, Sukuna and Yuta’s battle against each other inside the Unlimited Void Domain Expansion will soon come to an end.

Thankfully, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 should have some 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 263 is set to release thanks to official information from Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website.

Where to read Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263

As aforementioned, Shueisha’s official MANGA Plus platform is the best way to read Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 since doing so supports the official release. Other means of reading that support the official release include Viz Media’s website and Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ app. Buying the corresponding compilation volume that contains chapter 263 is also an option once it is officially released.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262-2 recap

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262-2 began with Yuta getting physical with Sukuna and tossing him around while contemplating his current situation. He then realized that since Sukuna hasn’t used the World Bisecting Slash since losing his left hand, he must have no way of defeating the Limitless besides Domain Amplification. Yuta then struggled being consistent with judging the distance as he used Gojo’s abnormally long arms and legs.

He realized how powerful the Limitless was, unfortunately misfiring with an attack as a result. Sukuna began launching an offensive as he analyzed the situation, recognizing that Yuta’s Cursed Technique as Kenjaku described it wasn’t being used. He then understood that Yuta may not be thinking past this fight and that he may not be able to maintain his status in Gojo’s body once Kenjaku’s Cursed Technique finishes.

A brief flashback of Gojo telling Yuta his Cursed Energy is too imprecise played out as Yuta tried activating a Hollow Purple, complete with a chant. However, Sukuna refused to give Yuta an opening to do so, while Yuta had a plan he said “just might work.” He then used Blue as he threw a recorder at Sukuna, which played Inumaki’s Cursed Technique. The issue ended with Sukuna seemingly frozen in place as a result while Yuta all but launched the Hollow Purple.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 (speculative)

With Yuta having all but launched the Hollow Purple, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 should see him actually send the attack at Sukuna. However, what remains to be seen is whether or not Yuta actually hits Sukuna with the attack, with 262-2 giving no official confirmation on whether or not Toge Inumaki’s Cursed Technique actually worked.

It’s also likely that chapter 263 will begin with a focus outside of the Domain, only revealing the results of Yuta’s latest endeavors partway through the chapter once the Domain comes down. While certainly not the approach fans were hoping for, it would be very Akutami-esque in nature and would also serve to build more suspense around a fan-favorite’s status.
