So, we are back from the weak break and got Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 218 spoilers & raw scans!! Before we move into the spoilers, let us take a look at what previously happened in the previous one. We got the encounter of Sukuna vs Yorozu, and that eventually led us to the explanation of Yorozu’s curse technique, which is pretty much the full potential of Mai’s Construction Curse Technique, if she hadn’t been born a twin.
With Yorozu’s curse technique, she mainly uses a special liquid when fighting in battle, and in the last chapter with the anger of Sukuna not taking her seriously, she transforms into a huge armor of flesh, consisting of multiple strands of different organisms. We see bug eyes, horns, wings, and other insects like things.
In response to that, the last chapter has ended when Sukuna finally summons the Mahoraga for a test drive, before you pick up from there. However, the upcoming chapter opens up with a call back to the Hein Era, and we see Yorozu’s original face. There are four to five text dialogues on this page which we obviously can’t read yet until the translations come out on Friday.

The next two pages give us more supplementary info about Yorozu’s transformation, which says that Yorozu was actually in anguish, this is because compared to others, her curse technique has a very inefficient curse energy output as compared to the other curse energy. At the same time, we also find out that she got inspired by the way insects how efficiently use their energy. This was where Yorozu finds out how to form insect armor.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 218 Spoilers & Raw Scans
It is revealed that this insect’s armor is nothing but the pinnacle of the construction curse technique, and is very useful in mid-range fights. Since the Constriction Curse Technique is so consumption heavy in terms of curse energy, then Yorozu can just make a nuclear bomb or something of that caliber.
It is not that she has low curse energy in general, but to create something as big and powerful, it would use a mist of her curse energy, thus the insufficiency in having the Construction Technique, but sometime after realizing that insects are realistically efficient in conserving the energy, it inspired her to develop an insect armor, which works perfectly because it doesn’t take much curse energy and is also strong in battle.

We come back to the original time and find out that Mahoraga, doesn’t get summoned in this chapter, as Yorozu quickly attacks Sukuna and I guess cancels the summoning in time, I mean throughout the chapter we do see the Wheel floating at top of Sukuna’s head, it is either just glitched because Yorozu attack Sukuna just before the activation.
It is honestly quite impressive how fast Yorozu is in this insect armor of hers because Sukuna is one of the fastest characters in the series, and he is even surprised that Yorozu is this quick. We see the fight continuing in the stadium hallway and she is still able to use her liquid metal, while in the insect armor, which I think is pretty sick.
As Yorozu tries to trap Sukuna, he escapes from it by summoning a new Shikigami, “Madoka Deer”, we find out that the deer’s ability is to heal with the Reverse Curse Technique, and in addition to that, it also neutralizes the liquid metal of Yorozu, by erasing the curse technique residing in the metal.

After some time, Sukuna then summons another Shikigami, a “Bull” Shikigami called Kangi, which bulldozed away Yorozu. While fighting against Yorozu, Sukuna made the shapes of the Shikigamis unstable in order to prevent them from getting destroyed. Although these Shikigamis lack power, Sukuna somehow covered it with his tremendous amount of Curse Energy output.
This is insane, and if I am not mistaken that is all the Ten Shikigami, including the Mahoraga, unless Divine Dogs count as one, which I think it does, then yes, it is technically nine Shikigami and there is still one more, yet to be seen, but Madoka Deer is quite insane, considering not only does it have a reverse curse technique but it can also erase other sorcerers curse techniques.
The powers of Madoka Deer are like the Angel’s but assume the effect of its power or work if you are near the deer, within a short meter radius I guess, it doesn’t seem to be an attacking Shikigami, which is why Sukuna sent in the Bull, so it is likely that the deer is more stationary and a defensive type.
