The highly anticipated release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 260 has stirred up excitement among fans, especially with the potential return of Gojo Satoru hinted at in the last panel. However, the reality might be different from what fans are expecting, as suggested by recent developments in the manga.
The chapter sees Aoi Todou overpowering Ryomen Sukuna with his cursed technique, aided by continuous attacks from the protagonist, Itadori Yuji. Amidst this intense battle, the mention of Gojo’s return sparks speculation among fans, but there’s a twist in store.
Gojo Employ a Kisuke Urahara Strategy Against Sukuna with a Delayed Domain Expansion
Rather than Gojo’s immediate return, the “domain expansion” witnessed in the chapter could be a delayed activation of Infinity Void, placed on Sukuna by the Honored One during their previous confrontation. This concept of a delayed seal bears resemblance to a memorable moment from Bleach involving Urahara and Aizen.
The black panel showcasing the domain expansion suggests that it originates from someone not present on the battlefield, likely the Honored One. This indicates that the domain expansion is a contingency plan activated under specific conditions, such as Sukuna being weakened or injured, aligning with his current state.
This narrative twist serves as a clever homage to Bleach, where Urahara employed a similar tactic against Aizen. Urahara’s use of the Hado-91 spell, combined with a hidden ultimate seal, ultimately led to Aizen’s downfall when his power waned during his battle with Ichigo.
While this theory may rule out Gojo’s immediate return, it presents an opportunity for the sorcerers to potentially defeat Sukuna for good. Jujutsu Kaisen is known for its nods to other Shounen series, particularly Bleach, evident in its character dynamics and plot elements.
As fans eagerly await the official release of chapter 260, it’s essential to approach theories with caution and await confirmation from the manga. Nonetheless, the intricate parallels between Jujutsu Kaisen and Bleach add depth to the narrative and keep readers engaged in the unfolding story.
