Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 is set to be released on July 15, 2024. However, the spoilers for the chapter have already been unveiled, and they indicate the demise of Sukuna after Hana uses Jacob's Ladder on him.

The spoilers for the chapter started with Gojo sending the Disgraced One out of the domain after he was hit with Hollow Purple. Yuji and Aoi joined the battle, but Gojo's body gave up, forcing Yuta to stay still for a while.

The chapter ended with Hana's entry on top of Sukun as they landed a fully powered Jacob's Ladder on the King of Curses, hinting that the King of Curses could finally be dead. Where there is no official confirmation regarding this, fans have already started celebrating the demise of the final antagonist of the series in their own way.

The spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 started with Sukuna flying out of the domain's barrier due to the impact of Yuta's Hollow Purple. Yuji and Aoi saw the opportunity and joined the battle. Yuta also exited the domain, and Aoi recommended that he try his best to hit the King of Curses with as many Hollow Purple attacks as he could.

Unfortunately, Gojo's body gave up as soon as Yuta exited the domain, leaving everything in the hands of Yuji and Aoi. Where Yuji tried hitting the King of Curses with his Dismantle cursed technique, Aoi kept using Boogie Woogie to stop the antagonist from attacking his brother.

The battle reached a standstill as Hana emerged out of the blue above the Disgraced One. The spoilers reveal that Yuta asks Hana for a last favor: to save Megumi from Sukuna. The spoilers ended with Hana using Jacob's Ladder at its full potential, which was the sorcerers' last chance to kill the King of Curses.

Where the chapter didn't confirm anything regarding the status of the King of Curses, the fans celebrated the win of the sorcerers. Fans were happy that after so many sacrifices, the King of Curses was finally down. Some fans cheered Yuji and encouraged him to take down the final antagonist, even though Hana delivered the last blow.

"SUKUNAS END IS APPROACHING"- a fan celebrated

On the other hand, some fans were not convinced by this as the King of Curses always manages to bounce back from anything. While some fans mocked the optimism of the fans who celebrated the fall of the final antagonist even before he was defeated, some imagined the next chapter would repeat the past, where Sukuna lures Hana into a trap.

"Shonen readers when the good guys win"- a fan said

"My glorious king of curses will pull another domain expansion and beat fraudjo once again"- another fan claimed

"Next chapter"- another one said

Final thoughts

Where the demise of the King of Curses was certainly not confirmed according to the spoilers of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263, his death could be near, considering how the author confirmed that the ongoing arc is the final arc of the series.

Hana's Jacob Ladder was stated as a last chance against the King of Curses by Okkotsu Yuta. If this cursed technique doesn't work, it would be hard for the sorcerers to pull a big move, as they could be out of trump cards. Unfortunately, fans must wait for answers as the manga will be on break next week.
