Jujutsu Kaisen, CHAPTER 175

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 175 Summary

Yuta vs. Kurourushi – A Battle of Secrets and Survival

In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 175, the intense action continues in the Culling Game as Yuta Okkotsu faces off against one of the creepiest and most grotesque curses we’ve seen so far—Kurourushi, the cockroach curse. But this isn’t just a fight for survival—it’s a battle of strategy, deception, and restraint.

Whether you’re reading the Jujutsu Kaisen manga online for the first time or diving deep into each chapter’s meaning, this one’s a must-read. Let’s break it all down!

🗡️ The Setup: Yuta’s Silent Strategy

With two powerful players—Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro—watching from the shadows, Yuta knows he can’t afford to reveal all his cards. He’s determined to defeat Kurourushi without using Rika or revealing his reverse cursed technique.

That’s what makes this fight so gripping: Yuta is intentionally holding back against a special grade curse… and still putting up a hell of a fight.

🪳 Kurourushi Appears: The Rotting Cockroach Curse

Armed with the unsettling Festering Life Sword, Kurourushi launches a brutal assault. But Yuta isn’t fazed:

• First Move: Yuta slices off Kurourushi’s arm and pins it to a rock, using his katana like a pro.
• Bridge Battle: As Kurourushi retreats, Yuta rips a railing off a bridge and uses it as a makeshift weapon, hurling it with force.
• Aerial Clash: The curse summons a swarm of cockroaches, stopping Yuta’s blade mid-air. Disgusting, yes—but also incredibly strategic.

Yuta continues to fight with only his sword and raw skill, despite being fully capable of using high-level jujutsu techniques. Why? Because the Culling Game is just as much a mind game as a death match.

⚔️ A Deadly Twist: The Curse’s Hidden Weapons

Kurourushi starts talking—yes, talking—and it gets weirder from there.

• It casually says it kills humans because it “likes the taste of iron.”
• It summons smaller insect curses via its Earthen Insect Trance, which carry toxic sacs.
• One of these explodes near Yuta, blinding him briefly—just long enough for Kurourushi to slash him with the Festering Life Sword.

The cursed weapon shoots something into Yuta’s shoulder, and soon, insect curses begin growing out of the wound. As he tries to cut them off, Kurourushi slashes him again—this time in the abdomen, causing more cursed parasites to spawn from his body.

For fans of grotesque body horror and intense cursed battles, this is peak JJK manga storytelling.

🔥 Last Resort: Yuta’s Mouth-to-Mouth Finisher

In a moment of sheer desperation and brilliance, Yuta pulls off one of the most unexpected attacks in Jujutsu Kaisen history.

Just as Kurourushi prepares to devour him, Yuta bites the curse’s face and uses a mouth-to-mouth blast of positive energy, completely destroying its body from the inside out. 💥

“The shortest distance was from my mouth to his,” Yuta reasons. Brutal. Genius. Unforgettable.

Ryu Ishigori, watching from afar, is both impressed and disgusted. He comments dryly that he’d never do something like that—but he can’t ignore Yuta’s strength.

Yuta is awarded five points by Kogane for exorcising the curse.

🌀 The Aftermath: Uro Makes Her Move

Just as Yuta begins to recover, Takako Uro appears—floating upside down, speaking into his ear with a chilling confidence.

“Seems like you can use reverse cursed technique,” she whispers.

Before he can react, Uro distorts the space around them, showing that she’s ready to fight—and she knows more than she should.

This final moment sets up a potential showdown and raises the stakes yet again in the Culling Game arc.

🎯 Why Chapter 175 Stands Out

Chapter 175 perfectly showcases Gege Akutami’s genius as the Jujutsu Kaisen artist and storyteller:

• Tension without exposition
• Brutal, creative action
• Strategic limitations that raise the stakes
• Body horror and cursed technique twists
• A looming threat from new opponents

If you’re looking to read Jujutsu Kaisen manga online, this chapter is a perfect example of why the series is such a standout in modern shonen.

💬 Final Thoughts: What’s Next for Yuta?

Now that Yuta’s powers have been exposed—at least partially—how will he fare against Uro and Ryu? Can he continue to hide his full strength? Or will he be forced to unleash Rika in the battles to come?

This chapter leaves us asking: What would you do in Yuta’s place?
