In the prior chapter of the manga, the aftermath of the Shinjuku Showdown was explored, revealing the individual paths taken by each character. Megumi Fushiguro, after paying his respects at Tsumiki’s grave alongside Shoko, later teamed up with Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki for a new mission. Their task led them to a woman who had been cursed, forcing her to perceive her fiancé in a warped and distorted manner.
As the anticipation builds, fans are eagerly counting down to the release of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 271. Recently leaked spoilers have provided a glimpse into the unfolding events of this final installment. Here’s a detailed rundown of what to expect.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 271 Spoilers Overview
According to the spoilers for Chapter 271, the narrative picks up seamlessly from the last chapter, centering on Nobara, Yuji, and Megumi as they delve into the mystery surrounding the curse afflicting the woman. Nobara first assesses the situation and realizes that she cannot detect any direct seals or the trace of a cursed technique affecting the woman. This leads her to the conclusion that the curse user is exceptionally skilled, prompting the trio to strategize how to counteract the curse.
Nobara proposes a potential plan: relocating the cursed woman to a distant location, theorizing that the curse’s influence might weaken with distance. While Yuji supports Nobara’s idea, Megumi disagrees. He considers the suggestion overly simplistic and expresses concern about not yet identifying the curse user. Instead, Megumi advocates for determining the origin of the cursed technique rather than merely relying on distance to remedy the situation.
The three sorcerers then engage in a technical discussion regarding the curse, particularly focusing on the potential radius of the cursed technique’s effects. They carefully analyze possible locations from which the curse could have been cast. Megumi is adamant about pinpointing the curse user instead of just removing the woman from the area affected by the curse. To draw out the culprit, they decide to take the couple up in the elevator of a towering 40-story building.
As they ascend, an unexpected turn of events occurs: the curse’s effects abruptly fade. The woman, who had been struggling to see her fiancé’s face due to the curse, finally perceives him as he truly is. This breakthrough indicates that they can now accurately identify the source of the curse, confirming that their earlier calculations about its range were indeed correct.
The trio quickly senses the presence of the curse user, leading Nobara and Yuji to pursue him. However, as they draw closer, they find themselves caught in the grip of the big-eye curse’s effects. While they share a light-hearted exchange, Megumi acts swiftly, capturing the curse user with his wolf Cursed Spirit. They bring the captured user to the cursed woman to interrogate him.
During the interrogation, it becomes apparent that the woman does not recall him; he was a client from her time as a hostess who had once purchased her an expensive handbag. In an effort to lighten the mood, Yuji tries to encourage the man, who opens up about his struggles with communication.
The narrative then shifts to a flashback featuring Gojo Satoru, who advises Yuji to develop his own fighting style rather than mirroring his. Gojo reveals his own aspirations for the students, sharing a dream he hopes they will continue. He also expresses a desire for them to grow stronger and eventually outgrow him. At that moment, Yuji struggles to grasp the depth of Gojo’s sentiments, instead questioning why his mentor seems hesitant.
In the present, Yuji provides comfort to the curse user, reflecting on Gojo’s earlier teachings by acknowledging the man’s recognition of his wrongdoings as a positive step forward. Following this, the three sorcerers begin discussing “that thing,” which likely refers to the last of Sukuna’s fingers. Yuji mentions that he tossed it away, claiming that since it is no longer a threat, it could now serve as an ideal talisman.
The spoilers for Chapter 271 then briefly illustrate the “pathway of souls,” where Sukuna and Mahito share a conversation about their divergent life paths. Sukuna admits he had multiple choices but feared being consumed by his curse, which ultimately shaped his existence. He contemplates forging a new path in life, leaving Mahito behind with Uraume.
Mahito, irritated by Sukuna’s demeanor, accuses him of being boring and throws a fit, lamenting that Sukuna’s behavior makes him seem childish. The chapter concludes with glimpses of various sorcerer teams smiling and enjoying their camaraderie. Ultimately, the final scene reveals the untouched location of Ryomen Sukuna’s last finger, resting in the same booth where it first appeared in the series’ inaugural chapter. The editor expresses gratitude to fans for their support throughout the series, while also teasing the author’s forthcoming project.
