Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 268 recap
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 268 begins with Sukuna speaking to Megumi Fushiguro’s soul, essentially pointing out all that’s happened to him. His only family was dead, his body was used by Sukuna to commit many killings, and even his best friend had killed numerous people in Shibuya. Although it was Sukuna who committed all those atrocities while using their bodies, he desperately tried to manipulate Megumi into relinquishing his body to Sukuna.
However, Megumi was more optimistic now and wanted to live on for others if not for himself. He also commented that even the King of Curses feared death and was trying to overcome it desperately. After being rejected by his vessel, Sukuna was pulled out of Megumi's body by Yuji.

Yuji then approached what was left of Sukuna, told him that he was Yuji, and offered to become Sukuna’s vessel again to teach him how to live with someone rather than curse someone. However, in the end, Sukuna rejected this and said he was a curse, choosing to die. The scene then finally shifted to Uraume and Hakari, who had been fighting off-screen for months now.
Uraume sensed Sukuna's death and stopped their fight, declaring it was all over now. However, they commented that Sukuna's loss only occurred because he was a fully fleshed curse, not because anyone was stronger than him. The present-day sorcerers were lucky to be born 1000 years after Sukuna's prime. Hakari commented that it was the highest praise for him to be declared lucky, following which Uraume too disintegrated.
The focus then jumped ahead in time, where Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara Kugisaki had fully recovered. Yuji and Nobara tried to do the same trick with Megumi that Yuji did when surprising them after his feigned death. Megumi and Nobara received letters from Gojo but not Yuji since he had met with Gojo before his death. Nobara was informed about her mother’s whereabouts although she was not interested in it.
Megumi's letter had the news of his father's death, written in Gojo's quirky, humorous way. Albeit receiving such sad news, Megumi was laughing at the letter, revealing that he was not much affected by his father's death and had greatly warmed up to Gojo's weird sense of humor. The chapter ended with everyone heading out to "save Yuta," where we also see Panda, Maki, Miwa, Kusakabe, Momo, and Inumaki. They had serious looks on their face and the climax left a major cliffhanger about Yuta's condition.
What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269? (speculative)
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269 is titled Consideration. As witnessed in the climax of the previous chapter, the next episode will start with the reveal of whether Okkotsu Yuta made it out alive after he transferred his consciousness inside Gojo. As seen from Maki's loud voice, there are chances that he might be alive but please wait for official confirmation in this regard.
Moreover, the next episode will also reveal some mysteries which might include why Itadori was able to learn cursed techniques like Simple Domain and some other ones in a short amount of time. The next chapter might also reveal Megumi's and Itadori's apology to the other sorcerers.
