Chapter 238 of Jujutsu Kaisen reveals exciting developments as Gege Akutami introduces new adversaries for Sukuna. With that, the clash between Sukuna and Hajime Kashimo swiftly concludes, making way for two unexpected combatants: Itadori Yuji and Hiromi Higuruma.
Higuruma possesses a powerful cursed technique that acts as a significant advantage, capable of stripping Sukuna of his ability to control cursed energy. His Domain Expansion, named Deadly Sentencing, enforces strict rules within its boundaries, forbidding any violence. As a result, Higuruma may hold the key to defeating Sukuna.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238 spoilers show that Sukuna's next big adversaries are Hiromi Higuruma and Itadori Yuji
: Sukuna is truly living up to his reputation as the most powerful jujutsu sorcerer in history. In a remarkable display of strength, he has vanquished formidable adversaries such as Gojo Satoru and Hajime Kashimo within just a few chapters. After emerging victorious against Gojo, Sukuna immediately embarked on a new battle against Kashimo. According to the latest spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238, it appears that Sukuna has triumphed over Kashimo as well.
As Sukuna's incredible power overwhelms more and more sorcerers, Akutami seems to have adopted a fresh tactic in choosing his opponents. Consequently, Itadori Yuji and Hiromi Higuruma step forward as the next pair of challengers to confront Sukuna on the battlefield. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238 spoilers strongly suggest that both of them will be Sukuna's formidable adversaries.

In this unusual matchup, Yuji and Higuruma stand little chance against someone as formidable as Sukuna, as evident from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238 spoilers. The effortless defeat of a powerful opponent like Kashimo by Sukuna emphasizes that surpassing him requires more than just sheer brute strength from Yuji and Higuruma.
Higuruma's cursed technique grants him the power to summon Judgeman, a shikigami resembling Lady Justice. Judgeman features a black body with two arms and a leg, and its eyes are sewn shut, just like the symbol of blind justice. Holding a scale in each hand, Judgeman serves as Higuruma's formidable ally.
Summoning a shikigami named Judgeman, Higuruma's cursed technique brings forth a powerful embodiment reminiscent of Lady Justice herself. With its black body, two arms, and a leg, Judgeman commands attention. Its closed eyes, bearing a striking resemblance to the symbol of blind justice, further enhance its enigmatic presence. Armed with scales in both hands, Judgeman stands as Higuruma's unyielding partner. #SupernaturalPowers #JapaneseMythology
Moreover, Higuruma's Deadly Sentencing, an integral part of his technique, manifests as Higuruma conjuring a miniature courtroom brimming with guillotines. Within this unique realm, Higuruma and his adversaries are positioned on separate podiums, compelled to adhere to the domain's regulations.
Within the confines of this domain, any form of violence is strictly forbidden, and any individual who attempts to engage in such behavior finds themselves inexplicably compelled to return to their designated podium. This imposition acts as a formidable deterrent, thwarting Sukuna's inclination towards violence and rendering all his assaults futile.
Additionally, Sukuna won't be able to utilize his Domain Expansion as he will be bound by the regulations of Higuruma's domain. Within the domain's courtroom, Higuruma assumes the role of the prosecution while his adversary takes on the role of the defendant, a position that Sukuna will likely occupy. Exciting spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238 suggest that Sukuna vs Higuruma will be the upcoming epic showdown.

During the trial within the domain, the defendant faces prosecution from Higuruma as Judgeman presents incriminating evidence of the defendant's crimes, particularly in Sukuna's case. Judgeman possesses extensive knowledge concerning the individuals within the domain and will provide Higuruma with evidence showcasing Sukuna's history of causing death and destruction.
Ultimately, the trial's outcome hinges solely on the arguments presented by Higuruma as he attempts to convince Judgeman of the defendant's innocence. This is where Sukuna's downfall might occur, as he is an unapologetic antagonist who never experiences remorse for his actions. In fact, he derives immense pleasure from them.

Consequently, he may choose not to present a defense for his actions when faced with Jugeman, instead choosing to boast about his unrestricted behavior. Throughout the trial, each side is only granted a solitary opportunity to deliver a statement before Judgeman pronounces the final judgment.
The defendant is given three options: remaining silent, confessing, or denying the accusations. After the defendant makes their choice, Higuruma can present a counterargument based on the evidence provided. If the verdict is guilty, Judgeman has the authority to strip the defendant of their ability to control cursed energy.
Therefore, if Sukuna fails the trial and is convicted, he could potentially lose his control over cursed energy, leading to the end of his rampage. It would be intriguing if bringing the most powerful sorcerer of all time to court finally proves to be his downfall. The spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238 have given fans hope that Higuruma and Yuji will engage in a significant battle with Sukuna, ultimately forcing him to struggle.
