Jujutsu Kaisen, CHAPTER 57

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 57 Summary

“Morning Moon, Evening Moon” — Cursed Brothers, Sinister Plots

The Jujutsu Kaisen manga hits a thrilling stride in Chapter 57, as the first-year trio faces off against a new set of terrifying enemies—ones that blur the line between cursed spirits and something more human. If you’re keeping up with the Jujutsu Kaisen manga online, this chapter is packed with tension, teamwork, and a growing sense of unease as the shadow of Sukuna looms ever larger.

Let’s break down everything that went down in this chaotic, action-heavy installment.

The Split: Three Sorcerers, Three Battles

The chapter opens with Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara each tackling separate threats in the cursed domain tied to a string of recent deaths.

• Yuji Itadori takes on a grotesque Death Painting Womb.
• Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki team up to handle a bizarre mole-like curse darting in and out of holes.

These cursed spirits aren’t just monsters—they’re connected to something deeper and more dangerous: Sukuna’s fingers.

Yuji vs. Kechizu: Acid Blood and Brutal Strength

Yuji’s battle is fast-paced and visceral. The enemy, Kechizu, a Death Painting Womb, spits corrosive blood like a weapon. But Yuji isn’t fazed. He dodges the attacks with sharp reflexes and counters with powerful kicks, surprising the curse with his strength.

As the fight intensifies, Kechizu senses something familiar—maybe it’s fear? Or maybe it’s that Yuji’s strength isn’t just physical—it carries the weight of Sukuna, the King of Curses himself.

Did you know? These Death Painting Wombs are part of a twisted experiment, born from cursed energy and human flesh. They’re not your average curses—which explains their unsettling intelligence and emotional connection.

Megumi and Nobara: Cursed Whack-a-Mole

Meanwhile, Megumi and Nobara face a different kind of challenge. The curse they’re dealing with isn’t attacking head-on—instead, it’s popping in and out of holes like a twisted game of cursed whack-a-mole.

• Nobara uses her Straw Doll Technique: Resonance to try and target the exits.
• Megumi provides strategic support, analyzing the curse’s technique and the hidden Domain it’s operating from.

Their teamwork shines, but the threat isn’t just about the curse—it’s the Domain itself, which seems to be draining the curse’s power. This leads Megumi to a chilling realization: the curse Yuji is fighting might be the real centerpiece of this operation.

Nobara Gets Pulled Out — And Meets a Mystery Man

Just when things start to shift in their favor, Nobara is suddenly yanked out of the Domain by an unknown cursed spirit—or maybe a human? It’s hard to tell.

Despite Megumi’s attempt to save her, Nobara insists he stay back. She’s now in a forest, facing a new opponent who seems… different. He mentions an “errand,” hinting that killing sorcerers isn’t part of the plan. Who is this guy? And what is this mission he keeps referring to?

The man refers to the curse Yuji is fighting as his “older brother”—confirming that Kechizu isn’t alone.

Megumi’s Moment: Divine Dog and a New Threat

Back in the Domain, Megumi finishes off the mole curse with a clean and powerful strike using Divine Dog: Totality—one of the coolest abilities we’ve seen him use so far. It’s a moment of triumph… but short-lived.

A new tunnel opens. And then—a finger bearer appears. This special grade curse is no ordinary threat. It carries one of Sukuna’s fingers, the very cursed objects the Death Painting Wombs seem to be hunting.

If you’re reading the Jujutsu Kaisen manga colored or even catching the Jujutsu Kaisen manga panels online, this moment is visually stunning—dark, dramatic, and pulsing with cursed energy.

Final Thoughts: A Ticking Time Bomb

Chapter 57 is all about escalation. What started as a standard curse-hunting mission is turning into something far more personal—and far more dangerous. The Death Painting Wombs aren’t just creepy—they’re part of a broader plan involving Sukuna’s legacy.

Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara are fighting harder than ever, but with new players entering the field and Sukuna’s presence lurking behind every twist, the stakes are only going to rise.
