Thursday, May 23, 2024, marked an exciting moment for fans of Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen manga series as unofficial spoilers for chapter 261 were leaked. The anticipation was high, especially after the previous official release hinted at the return of the enigmatic Satoru Gojo in its final panels.
The latest spoilers did not disappoint, as they elaborated on this setup, revealing that Gojo’s body had indeed returned, but with a twist—it was now inhabited by the brain and soul of Yuta Okkotsu. This unexpected turn of events occurred after Yuta, utilizing Kenjaku’s Cursed Technique via Rika, managed to kill him and subsequently swap into Gojo’s body as his own was failing.
Yuta’s Ability to Use Purple Hollow
Fans are now buzzing with theories that Yuta, in Gojo’s body, may be the one to finally defeat and kill Sukuna, the King of Curses. This speculation is grounded in the belief that Gojo had already provided Yuta with the roadmap to defeat Sukuna, particularly with the use of the Limitless and the Six Eyes.
However, there’s a crucial aspect of this roadmap that Yuta may be missing—the Hollow Purple technique. This technique, demonstrated by Gojo in his battle with Sukuna, appears to be essential in truly incapacitating the King of Curses. Without it, Yuta’s efforts may fall short, despite his possession of Gojo’s body and abilities.
So Yuta will hollow purple the sh*t out of Sukuna??? 🫨 #jjk261

Moreover, Yuta lacks the experiential knowledge that Gojo acquired through a near-death experience, which was instrumental in mastering the Hollow Purple. If Yuta cannot wield this technique immediately upon inhabiting Gojo’s body, defeating Sukuna may prove challenging, if not impossible.
Nevertheless, the spoilers indicate that Yuta plans to utilize Gojo’s Unlimited Void Domain Expansion to engage Sukuna in a clash of domains, potentially forcing Sukuna to self-destruct by overtaxing his brain. However, history has shown that even Gojo, despite his immense power, eventually had to resort to the Hollow Purple to overcome Sukuna.
Therefore, it seems clear that both the Hollow Purple and Gojo’s other techniques must be employed in tandem for any chance of defeating Sukuna. This necessity is underscored by the fact that Sukuna is aware of the roadmap Yuta will be following, having contributed to its creation.
As fans eagerly await the unfolding of events in the upcoming chapters, Yuta’s reliance on the Unlimited Void Domain Expansion from the outset may signal a challenging path ahead, fraught with uncertainty and formidable obstacles.
