Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 is set to release on Monday, July 29, 2024, at 12 am JST, according to the official MANGA Plus website. With Sukuna seemingly on the ropes as Hana Kurusu comes in for Jacob’s Ladder attack, fans are extremely anxious to learn whether or not the attack was successful.

Thankfully, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 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 264 will be released thanks to official information from Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 recap

Expand Tweet

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 began with Unlimited Void’s barrier shattering, resulting in a heavily burned Sukuna being thrust out. He confirmed that Yuta did land the Hollow Purple, but didn’t have great control over it. As Yuta exited the Domain, he, Todo, and Yuji tried rushing at Sukuna, but he fell to the ground. This was due to the Domain Expansion burning out what was left of Kenjaku’s Cursed Technique, which Yuta didn’t know how to counteract as Kenjaku did.

Yuji and Todo then rushed at Sukuna, but Sukuna broke Todo’s Vibraslap with a Black Flash. However, Todo was able to activate Boogie Woogie by slapping the instrumental part of the Vibraslap against his head. This was also perfect as he could swap with the barrier shards still floating around the battlefield. Yuji began aiming Dismantles at the barrier between Sukuna and Megumi’s souls, causing the former to throw up and reconsume some fingers.

Todo then tried to swap one more time but seemingly failed. He then did it again and through a Binding Vow, extended his technique’s range so he could swap in Hana Kurusu. This prompted a flashback, revealing that Yuta had asked her to use Jacob’s Ladder as the finishing blow. He added that this would be their trump card via Copy’s true strength, which is having two of the same card. The issue ended with Hana firing a Maximum Output Jacob’s Ladder at Sukuna.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 (speculative)?

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 will be titled The Decisive Battle in the Uninhabited, Demon-infested Shinjuku Part 36. As indicated by the climax of the previous chapter, the next chapter will see whether or not Sukuna evades Hana Kurusu's Jacob's Ladder or not. Judging the history of the King of Curses, he might evade it and try to kill Hana.

Moreover, after Sukuna escapes Hana's attack, he might confront Itadori Yuji or Aoi Todou in battle. Moreover, if Sukuna tries to attack Hana Kurusu with a Black Flash, he will get back his reverse-cursed technique, thus creating another hurdle in the way of the victory of the jujutsu sorcerers.
