In the latest chapter 251 of the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen, fans are eager to see the outcome of Yuta’s attack on the villain Sukuna. Additionally, the chapter introduced the return of the popular character Maki Zenin, who has been absent up until now.
Maki steps in to help reinforce the other good guy sorcerers from Jujutsu High. Her sudden appearance is sure to be widely welcomed by readers, as her skills will likely prove critical.
Wielding her special Katana sword known as the Soul Splitter, which she previously obtained from her late sister Mai, Maki manages to catch Sukuna off guard and succeeds in stabbing him.
However, historically in Jujutsu Kaisen, female characters battling major antagonists have not typically ended well.
So while Maki’s attack seems promising, her confrontation with the extremely dangerous Sukuna may prove very perilous. Fans will be eager to read upcoming chapters to see how this plays out.
Maki Zenin’s Bold Strike Against Sukuna
In a devastating counterattack, Sukuna unleashes three powerful battle chants to shatter Yuta’s magical barrier: “Dragon Scales. Repel. Pair of Falling Stars.”
While no one dies, Yuta, Yuji, and Rika are all badly injured by Sukuna’s ruthless slashing. However, just when it seems Sukuna has gained the advantage, a surprise arrival changes the tide again.
Fierce sorcerer Maki Zenin, who lacks cursed energy yet boasts formidable combat skills, abruptly enters the fight. Launching a bold offensive, she manages to strike the menacing Sukuna directly.
The preview for the upcoming installment tantalizingly announces: “The strike of the fierce sorcerer without cursed energy.”
Alleged chapter leaks hint Maki may have used the Soul Splitter Katana, a parting gift from her late sister Mai that grants Maki extraordinary power.
She previously used this weapon to annihilate her clan and defeat Naoya’s Vengeful Spirit form. Fans eagerly await the next chapter to see the outcome of Maki’s daring attack on Sukuna.
More From Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 251
The chapter commences with Sukuna, the formidable King of Curses, voicing his bewilderment at how Yuta managed to replicate his potent Technique.
Yuta, in turn, poses a question to Sukuna, inquiring whether he has successfully retrieved his 20th finger, heavily implying that Yuta himself has ingested it.
Undeterred by the gravity of the situation, Yuta and Yuji continue their relentless assault upon Sukuna.
In a stunning display of resourcefulness, Yuji employs a unique tactic to impede Sukuna’s vision, spitting blood directly into his eyes, temporarily blinding the Curse.
Recognizing the perilous situation he finds himself in, Sukuna opts to unleash the devastating World-Cutting Slash, a move that will undoubtedly weaken his defenses against Yuta’s formidable Jacob’s Ladder, which is currently being employed within the confines of Yuta’s Domain.
However, Yuta remains steadfast in his offensive, refusing to grant Sukuna even a moment’s respite to mount a counterattack.
Concurrently, Yuji pushes himself to the brink of his capabilities, striving to reach the imperiled Megumi and turn the tide of the battle.
Yuji recalls guidance from Hana and Ange
In a flashback sequence, it is revealed that Yuji had previously received invaluable guidance from Hana and Angel, who imparted their wisdom on the proper application of Jacob’s Ladder, a powerful technique designed to separate Megumi from Sukuna’s grasp.
In the present moment, the blood that Yuji had smeared onto Sukuna’s face detonates, allowing Yuji to forcefully breach the metaphysical space between Sukuna and Megumi’s souls.
With a sense of urgency, Yuji immediately calls out to Megumi, urging him to awaken from his perilous slumber.
Despite the meticulous calculations and technical precision employed by Yuji and Yuta in their attempt to rescue Megumi, an unexpected obstacle arises.
It appears that Megumi himself has lost the will to live, his spirit crushed by the weight of the circumstances he has faced.
In a heart-wrenching moment, Megumi pleads with Yuji to cease his efforts, declaring that he has endured enough and that the time has come for him to surrender to the inevitable.
Sukuna breaks Yuta’s Domain with a powerful counterattack
Meanwhile, as the battle rages on, Sukuna unleashes a devastating counterattack, shattering Yuta’s Domain Expansion by invoking three powerful chants for his Cursed Technique:
“Dragon Scales. Repel. Pair of Meteors/Falling Stars.”
Although none of the combatants perish in the aftermath of this assault, Yuta, Yuji, and Rika all suffer grievous injuries from Sukuna’s merciless slashes. However, just as the tide of battle seems to turn in Sukuna’s favor, an unexpected arrival shifts the balance once more.
Maki Zen’in, a fierce sorcerer without cursed energy, leaps into the fray, launching a daring attack against the formidable Sukuna. The preview for the upcoming chapter tantalizingly states:
“The strike of the fierce sorcerer without cursed energy.”
The alleged leaks for chapter 251 of Jujutsu Kaisen hint at the possibility that Maki may have utilized the Soul Splitter Katana, a dying gift bestowed upon her by her late sister, Mai.
Previously, Maki had employed this potent weapon to slaughter the remaining members of the Zen’in clan and to defeat Naoya’s Vengeful Cursed Spirit form.
