Warning: This article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263!
With chapter 263 of Jujutsu Kaisen just around the corner, leaks have already surfaced online, teasing fans about what comes next. The chapter begins with Unlimited Void’s domain barrier shattering. As Sukuna exits the barrier, his skin tears off, and he claims that the barrier of his Malevolent Shrine was also destroyed at the same time.
With both the barriers broken, it allows Yuji and Todo to rejoin the battle. Todo wants Yuta to continue blasting Sukuna with Hollow Purple, but it seems Yuta is exhausted, leaving Gojo’s body face down in the dirt.
Itadori Yuji And Aoi Todo Spell Trouble For Sukuna
While Yuta is out of commission, the battle is far from over. Yuji and Todo are back in the game and they are ready to do some serious damage to Sukuna. Sukuna strikes first, sending Black Flash hurtling across the battlefield and shattering the Vibraslap on Todo. Todo’s shattered body does not prevent him from using his Cursed Technique, which lets Yuji strike Sukuna with a huge blow.
Yuji keeps hitting Sukuna, breaking the bond that unites his and Megumi’s souls. Sukuna is surprised that he can choose the target of his attacks and fire Dismantle at the barrier between the two souls while taking a beating from Yuji. It seems like Sukuna is running out of options between the pair, as he resorts to eating his fingers again after hurling them up.
Thanks to Todo, Hana joins the fight and is ready to use Jacob’s Ladder to attack Sukuna. This breaks Todo’s Vibraslap completely. A flashback depicts Hana discussing with Shoko and Yuta the possibility of utilizing Jacob’s Ladder to split the souls of Sukuna and Megumi. Additionally, leaked images from the chapter’s last page show Jacob’s Ladder at its greatest strength, pointing in the direction of The King of Curses.
Chapter 263 Leaks Rekindles Hope That Gojo Satoru Might Still Return
Despite Gege Akutami confirming the fact that Gojo Satoru is dead on multiple occasions, it seems like Jujutsu Kaisen fans are still not ready to accept the truth. Well, denial is just a river in Egypt. Some fans are certain that Gojo will return since his body is still unharmed. An X user, @BIGDADDYGOJO, posted a theory about how both Gojo and Yuta can still be saved by Hana.
You shouldn’t expect Chapter 264 until late July as the social media posts indicate that there will be another break week following the release of Chapter 263. Meanwhile, Gege Akutami has confirmed that Shinjuku Showdown is the final arc of Jujutsu Kaisen.
