Jujutsu Kaisen, CHAPTER 248

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248 Summary

Yuta Returns and Sukuna Embraces Darkness

The stakes have never been higher in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248, as tragedy, resolve, and a long-awaited return push the battlefield into its most chaotic phase yet. With Higuruma down, Yuji battered, and Sukuna on the edge of embracing Kenjaku’s terrifying failsafe, fans are treated to an emotional rollercoaster that digs deep into what truly separates heroes from monsters.

Whether you’re here to read Jujutsu Kaisen manga online, or just catching up with the latest events, this chapter is a must-read for every jjk fan.

A Failing Plan and a Crushing Loss

Things kick off with heartbreak. Just as Yuji launches a desperate attack, Sukuna evades effortlessly. Higuruma’s death seals the failure of the Executioner’s Sword plan—and with it, the hope of delivering decisive justice to the King of Curses.

“Yuji watches as the sword’s light fades—along with Higuruma’s life.”

Before Yuji can even process the loss, Sukuna punishes him with brutal punches and two Dismantle slashes, leaving him bloodied on the ground.

Sukuna’s Cold Calculation—and a Glimmer of Humanity

Even amidst chaos, Sukuna stays eerily analytical. As he surveys his regrown hand and notes the lack of a returned Kamutoke, his attention is drawn to Kirara and Ui Ui, who whisk Higuruma’s body away.

Sukuna deduces they likely retrieved Gojo’s body the same way—but doubts their ability to revive anyone, noting Shoko Ieiri’s reverse cursed technique isn’t powerful enough.

Yet, Sukuna’s cold musings begin to crack when he notices something strange—Yuji is healing.

Yuji Unlocks Reverse Cursed Technique

That’s right. Yuji Itadori, in just a month, has taught himself to use reverse cursed technique.

Sukuna—who should feel excitement—feels… irritated? It’s an unfamiliar emotion for the King of Curses. Is it because of Higuruma’s death? He denies it. Sukuna has never needed ideals or attachments.

But Yuji? His indomitable spirit, his refusal to give up despite the odds, has wormed its way into Sukuna’s consciousness.

“The idea that someone weaker can stand against him purely through will—that’s what truly infuriates Sukuna.”

And that realization sparks something terrifying.

Sukuna Activates Kenjaku’s Failsafe

A glowing orb appears overhead. Yuji’s Kogane announces Rule 15 of the Culling Game—granting Megumi Fushiguro (and by extension, Sukuna) the authority to begin the Great Merger between Tengen and humanity.

As Sukuna accepts Kenjaku’s backup plan, even Kusakabe realizes the true threat: Sukuna is far worse than Kenjaku ever was.

“I’ll kill every sorcerer. Then every Culling Game player. Then the thing Tengen becomes.”

With that, the battlefield braces for hell.

Yuta and Rika’s Epic Entrance

Just when it seems all is lost—Yuta Okkotsu returns!

The ground shatters as Yuta appears, katana ready. Sukuna lunges, but Yuta meets him head-on. Then, in a thunderous twist, Rika slams Sukuna into a nearby building, declaring war on behalf of everyone Sukuna has ever threatened.

“The King of Curses vs. The Queen of Curses—it’s finally happening!”

Final Thoughts: A Clash of Wills and Worlds

Chapter 248 is a turning point. Not just for the battle, but for Jujutsu Kaisen itself. We see:

• Yuji’s quiet evolution into a true sorcerer.
• Sukuna’s descent into ideological warfare.
• The long-awaited face-off between Yuta, Rika, and the most dangerous curse of all time.

And with Sukuna embracing Kenjaku’s twisted legacy, the future of jujutsu society hangs by a thread.
