Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 showcases Sukuna’s vulnerable state after Yuta fired his version of Gojo’s Blue, with Yuji continuously spamming Dismantle. Sukuna admits he will lose if he continues to take such hits. He was about to puke out blood but gulped it in after figuring out that if he simply avoided those blows, his opponents would have no other moves as effective.
The following article contains major spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Read ahead at your own discretion!
Things looked like they were going his way, but suddenly, we saw Hana Kurusu, whose body was possessed by the Angel, floating above Sukuna, much to everyone’s shock. It seems Yuta requested Hana to fire Jacob’s Ladder as the finishing blow as an all-or-nothing gamble, attempting to split Sukuna and Megumi’s souls, despite Hana saying her job was done after unsealing Gojo. But this wasn’t the first time Hana used it.
The Angel and Hana Kurusu used Jacob’s Ladder in an attempt to strip Sukuna from Megumi Fushiguro’s body in Chapter 213. The light seriously injured Sukuna, and the cursed energy was pulled from Megumi’s body. However, Hana was too desperate to get Megumi back, and Sukuna tricked her by impersonating Megumi inside his body, catching her and Yuji off guard.
But now that Hana Kurusu knows Sukuna cannot be trusted, she won’t fall for his tricks anymore and will use “Maximum Output: Jacob’s Ladder” on Sukuna strong enough to pull out Megumi. The Angel was always confident her technique could break open the Prison Realm. Hana did just that by using Jacob’s Ladder on the “Back” of the Prison Realm to destroy the cursed object and free Gojo Satoru.
This is Hana and Angel’s chance to be useful to the team and finally put a stop to Sukuna once and for all, though I doubt this will work according to their plans. Fans were surprised that Gege hadn’t forgotten about Hana Kurusu, whom everyone once thought was a fraud. But now, she seems to be beating those allegations and actually may rescue Megumi!
According to the manga editor, this is the team’s TRUMP CARD! Will Hana really redeem herself and beat the fraud allegations? Find out in the next chapter of JJK!
Jujutsu Kaisen is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Gege Akutami. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s shōnen manga magazine, Weekly Shōnen Jump, since March 2018, with its chapters collected and published in 27 tankōbon volumes as of July 2024.
Studio MAPPA brought the world of JJK into anime by airing 24 episodes of season 1 from October 2020 to March 2021, with a second season premiering in July 2023. A sequel covering the “Culling Game” arc has been announced.
Crunchyroll describes the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen as: Yuji Itadori is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a classmate who has been attacked by curses, he eats the finger of Ryomen Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul.
From then on, he shares one body with Ryomen Sukuna. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Itadori is admitted to Tokyo Jujutsu High School, an organization that fights the curses. Thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a curse to exorcise a curse, a life from which he could never turn back.
