What to Expect in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 265
In this chapter, we’re likely to get a deeper look into Yuji’s newly activated Domain Expansion. This might be explained through both the narration and Sukuna’s reactions. It’s speculated that Yuji’s Domain might have the ability to help souls move on to the afterlife, which aligns with some fan theories. This could mean Yuji’s goal is to lead Sukuna to a proper defeat or death. The chapter might also include a flashback that delves into Sukuna’s origins and how he became such a powerful curse, but this is still up in the air.
Recap of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 264
In Chapter 264, Sukuna creates chaos by smashing the ground and using the debris to climb and attack his enemies. He manages to disrupt Yuji and Todo, making it easier for him to confront Angel and Hana. Sukuna notes that Angel and Hana’s combined form is vulnerable, which is evident from their injuries that weaken their abilities.
Sukuna vows to defeat Angel before being expelled from Megumi’s body. As he launches a powerful Black Flash attack, Todo intervenes to protect Hana, but both are knocked out by Sukuna. Yuji seizes the moment to surprise Sukuna with a strong punch and throws him into a building. Yuji tries to destabilize Sukuna with his Dismantle technique, but Sukuna quickly recovers using his Reverse Cursed Technique and retaliates with another Black Flash, healing his injuries and landing a heavy blow on Yuji.
The chapter explains that Sukuna’s use of Black Flash helped him regain his ability to heal and continue fighting. Sukuna is confident and patient, contrasting with Gojo’s more aggressive approach. Meanwhile, Yuji persists, targeting Sukuna’s connection with Megumi’s soul.
A flashback shows Gojo teaching Yuji about Domain Expansion, including its high energy cost and guaranteed hits. Inspired, Yuji activates his own Domain Expansion, a skill he learned during training with Atsuya Kusakabe. As Sukuna is momentarily stunned, Yuji, now healed, approaches him with a friendly gesture, suggesting a possible shift in their battle dynamic.
The chapter ends on a cliffhanger, with Yuji and Sukuna facing off once more, leaving fans eager to see how their confrontation will unfold in the next chapter.
