Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 221 Release Date: Gojo Will Be Here Soon

Excited about Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 221 release date? Previous 220 was an amazing chapter, after coming back from the Yoruzu vs Sukuna fight, it was very refreshing to read and definitely sets up some big pieces to happen in the future, this is why fans are really excited to find out, what they are gonna see in the next chapter.

Before revealing the release date, spoilers, and reading guide of the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 221, let us dive deeper into the previous chapter, in order to be fully prepared for the upcoming big reveal in Jujutsu Kaisen.

The recent Chapter 220 opens up by showing us the Prison Realm, which obviously if you already read the chapter; the indication here is that Gojo is gonna get out of the Prison Realm very soon.

Someone in the fandom also mentioned how the Prison Realm has six eyes on it, which is pretty fitting considering Gojo’s six eyes, then we see a player named Suguru Geto, who is of course Kenjaku, having a total of 309 points in the Culling Game.

So this ties back to how Sukuna gave him his points before leaving off to Sendai Colony, and also think that Kenjaku might also take a lot of points on his own because Megumi initially had 359 points until he added the substitution rule and also gave 100 points so Tsumiki, who ended up adding the Moving Between the Colonies Rule.

By the time Sukuna had Megumi’s body, he should have had 159 points and given most of that to Kenjaku, at least from what we have seen, it doesn’t look like Sukuna killed anyone during the clash. Some of the fans think that he might have killed some people during his lighting attack with Neu, however, even though, I doubt it was a lot to reach 309 points.

This is why I believe that Kenjaku must have gone to his own killing or something, but the next sequence here shows him pretty much blackmailing his own creation. We know the Koganes are like the workers of the Culling Game, their goal and desire are to make the Culling Game “Last Forever” or at least as long as possible.

So when Kenjaku asks to add a rule; prohibiting the entry of new players, joining the Culling Game, the Kogane denied it because it hindered Rule 7, “Affecting the long-lasting aspect of the Culling Game.”

This is where Kenjaku plays his game, you know, being the one who created the game this way, he had already prepared for this situation to happen. As there are many barriers by Tengen that stem throughout Japan, however, four of those barriers are very important.

The Culling Game, in fact, uses one grand barrier that is built around these four important barriers as its foundation. Okay, in other words, destroying the Four Barriers means destroying the Culling Game, and that is possible for Kenjaku now, because he has Tengen in his possession.

I believe Tengen’s personality is still the same, however, considering how her eyes look, it indicates that she can’t really control her body and Kenjaku has control over her, due to his Curse Manipulation technique.

So yeah, he blackmails Kogane, basically like creating a bug in a video game, as Kogane will obviously choose the option that sustains the game for a long time, this is why he accepts the rule as Rule 13 that no new player can enter into Culling Game from on onwards.

Supposedly, this would reject Gojo if we’re to get unsealed as he can not help our cast since new players cannot join Culling Game anymore although the implication gets a little weird because the back of the Prison Realm is our crew and they are in the Culling Game, so if Gogo were to get unsealed right now, or very soon in the future, he would technically already be in the Culling Game, and not have to worry about how to join from the outside.

This is because I think the new rule 13 is more focused on, the that no new player from outside the barriers can join the Cullling Games, obviously, we have to wait and see but I think Gojo should be fine because if there poses a problem where once Gojo is unsealed, he actually can’t help her crew fight inside the Culling Game, and that would be a pain, a real pain for sure.

Before we move on to the next segment, there is a couple of lore surrounding the Tengen’s barriers, that they exist because it supports the efficiency of the barrier technique for sorcerers and reduces the outbreaks of curses in Japan, so without them, the moderns sorcerers today would have to fight the courses they did thousands of years ago, and the practical knowledge of barrier technique wouldn’t even exist.

It is kind of interesting because if you remember when Tengen said that the Domain Expansion in the old days used to be a lot simpler for the sorcerers to cast, this is because it was hard to incorporate a short-hit sure kill technique within their barriers.

I don’t know if this really ties up with this topic, but probably it does, since again nowadays, Domain Expansion with a Sure-Hit and Sure Kill technique is more common as compared to before. So essentially, Tengen with his barriers made it easier for modern sorcerers to utilize Jujutsu pretty, and that was the thing Tengen was hiding from us this whole time. As she could have ended the Culling Game by herself by destroying her own barrier.

This might be because she didn’t want to tell our crew or do that because as we have stated earlier it would have reset the thousand years of sorcery progress, and reset the proficiency of the barrier technique. So just kind of hoped and gambled the possibility of winning against Kenjaki but that obviously didn’t turn out well as Kenjaku adds another rule.

According to rule 14, when all the players are other than Geto Suguru that means Kenjaku himself, and Megumi who is now Sukuna of course, have died, and the Culling Game will come to an end, so yeah, that is really exciting because now there is a clear victory path for our crew, which is obviously to defeat Kenjaku and Sukuna, I mean easier said to be done of course.

Having that rule established sets the final battle and end game for Jujutsu Kaisen, but Tengen and Kenjaku walk into one of the four barriers that we mentioned earlier, it is called the Hida Holy Mountain Purification Barrier, and then we see the mummified Sukuna that was also back in chapter one.

This was so real, I honestly did not expect Gege to even bring this design back into the story, but I am really glad that he did. It is really crazy to think Mangaka will plan a foreshadowing to happen, so many years later, but yeah! Kenjaku says that he will bring the mummified Sukuna to the real Sukuna as a souvenir, and Tengen responds that he can go ahead and take it because it will not affect the purification barrier of this particular location.

This means that Tengen knew about this from the beginning which I feel is another aspect of her being secretive about our crew. I think the general consensus is that this is where the rest of the five fingers are located, maybe it is in his hand or something, this is most like Sukuna’s old body of course, but I do not think Sukuna is going to switch to this body or form.

This is because it looks too old to even maneuver in and secondly Sukuna has expressed interest in Megumi since the beginning of the story, he has now got his body went through the bathing process to remove Megumi’s resistance.
