Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 271 Spoilers
The chapter picks up where the previous one left off, focusing on Nobara Kugisaki, Yuji Itadori, and Megumi Fushiguro as they investigate a curse affecting a woman who sees her fiancé in a distorted manner.
- Investigating the Curse:
- Nobara initially detects no direct seal or influence of a cursed technique on the woman, indicating that the curse user is exceptionally skilled. This realization prompts the trio to strategize how to confront the curse.
- Plan of Action:
- Nobara suggests moving the woman far away to potentially diminish the curse’s influence. While Yuji supports this idea, Megumi disagrees, considering it a simplistic solution. He argues that understanding the curse user’s identity is crucial.
- Technical Discussion:
- They engage in a discussion about the curse’s radius and origin, leading them to decide to lure the curse user out by taking the couple up in an elevator of a 40-story building. As they ascend, the curse’s effects suddenly dissipate, allowing the woman to see her fiancé clearly for the first time.
- Identifying the Curse User:
- The group’s calculations about the curse’s range prove accurate, and they sense the presence of the curse user. Nobara and Yuji pursue him but fall victim to the curse’s effects when they get too close.
- Confronting the Curse User:
- Megumi quickly subdues the curse user with his wolf Cursed Spirit. They bring him to the cursed woman for interrogation. It’s revealed that the curse user is a customer from when she worked as a hostess, having bought her an expensive bag.
- Character Moments:
- Yuji tries to uplift the curse user, discussing his communication troubles. This leads to a flashback of Gojo Satoru, who encourages Yuji to develop his unique style and expresses his hopes for his students’ growth. Yuji reflects on Gojo’s words, realizing their weight.
- Discussion of Sukuna’s Finger:
- After the confrontation, the three sorcerers discuss “that thing,” likely referring to the last of Sukuna’s fingers. Yuji mentions that he tossed it away, deeming it harmless and now a perfect talisman.
- Sukuna and Mahito’s Conversation:
- The chapter also features a brief dialogue between Sukuna and Mahito in the “pathway of souls.” Sukuna reflects on his life choices and the fear of his own curse consuming him, hinting at the divergent paths they both face.
