The latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen was highly eventful and impactful. It featured two major revelations – the first being Yuta finally unveiling his Domain in the intense battle against Sukuna. This was a moment fans had eagerly awaited for a long time.
The second big reveal was the ultimate defeat of the sinister sorcerer Kenjaku, confirming he would no longer plague the story. We last saw Kenjaku seemingly killed off in an earlier chapter, but many expected he would return.
Before meeting his permanent end here though, Kenjaku managed one last surprise attack on Yuta that validated Toji’s past warnings about the dangers of Geto.
Overall, chapter 249 delivered two highly anticipated storylines – Yuta’s full powers against the formidable Sukuna, and the conclusive takedown of the manipulative villain Kenjaku.
These narrative resolutions after much buildup made it a standout and pivotal chapter for the series.
Toji Fushiguro’s Calculated Decision
During this flashback storyline, the formidable assassin Toji Fushiguro was hired to kill the Star Plasma Vessel Riko Amanai. But first, he had to eliminate her powerful sorcerer protectors – Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. Though an imposing challenge, Toji systematically took them down.
He cleverly exhausted Gojo’s immense strength beforehand, catching him off guard for a surprise near-fatal blow. Afterward, Toji efficiently shot Amanai and defeated Geto with little trouble.
However, Toji decided to let Geto live, realizing that killing a Cursed Spirit Manipulator who absorbs curses could have unpredictable consequences.
This decision ties into recent manga events – Toji’s past uncertainty about killing Geto turned out to be wise, as Geto’s later death enabled the body-hopping Kenjaku’s sinister rise.
The Hidden Inventory Arc showed Toji ruthlessly and strategically accomplishing his hitjob despite incredible odds. His specific choice to spare Geto proved to have important story implications.
Toji’s past hesitation to kill Geto was validated in the recent manga chapter 249, which showed the aftermath of Kenjaku’s decapitation. Kenjaku had been controlling Geto’s body, and with his destruction, the vast collection of Cursed Spirits under Geto’s power were suddenly unleashed.
Yuta managed to withstand this flood of dangerous curses thanks to Rika’s help, but it highlighted the immense risk of Geto’s spirit manipulation technique.
Had Toji killed Geto back in the Hidden Inventory storyline, he would’ve faced this same crisis – an army of vicious spirits targeting him all at once.
However, it should be noted that Geto’s array of Cursed Spirits was likely weaker at the time of his fight with Toji compared to later on.
So if Toji had killed Geto back then and released those captive spirits all at once, he probably could have handled them despite their sheer numbers.
We’ve seen Toji overwhelm very powerful Special Grade curses, so taking on Geto’s weaker spirits from the Hidden Inventory era may not have posed too much of a threat.
Nonetheless, recent manga events still validate why Toji was cautious about killing Geto and triggering an unknown backlash.
Geto’s spirit manipulation was shown to be a double-edged technique – while allowing the user to control many curses, the user’s own death can unleash and endanger people with those caged spirits.
So in the end, Toji’s uncertainty about killing Geto and potential consequences was sensible, even if he personally could have managed the fallout from Geto’s weaker curses at the time.
More From Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249
An additional major reveal in chapter 249 was that Yuji Itadori is also inside Yuta’s domain expansion as part of the core strategy against Sukuna. Yuji has been given the vital task of attempting to save Megumi Fushigoro.
He will try to use his unique soul-swapping ability with Sukuna to forcibly remove the sinister demon’s soul that is currently controlling Megumi’s body.
When Sukuna realizes their plan, he mockingly applauds Yuji for finally understanding the role he must play.
So as the chapter closes, Sukuna finds himself seemingly cornered within Yuta’s overpowering domain, setting up an intensely anticipated showdown.
The leaked spoilers sparked exciting discussions, making this one of the most talked-about manga chapters in recent times.
After numerous defeats, Yuta’s long-awaited full domain and its early damage to Sukuna has given fans a renewed sense of optimism.
Ever since Yuta briefly used his domain against earlier foes, readers have eagerly waited to see it fully unleashed. It’s safe to say it has lived up to expectations so far – dramatically turning the tide against Sukuna through its special mechanics and restoring hope via the heroes’ strategy.
