Chapter 244 recap

Chapter 244 of Jujutsu Kaisen opened with a flashback of Yuji and Higuruma joining the battle against Sukuna. The flashback revealed Kusakabe leading a discussion with other allies from Tokyo Jujutsu High about the plan to confront Sukuna and the order of engagement.
As a result, Noritoshi Kamo decided to withdraw from the battle to relocate his family overseas. In response, Kusakabe emphasized the necessity of having fighters who are willing to risk their lives to secure victory. Higuruma then proposed using his Cursed Technique and Domain Expansion to target Sukuna and potentially obtain the Executioner's Sword.
Nevertheless, a significant issue arose due to the numerous crimes committed by Sukuna and their varying legal implications, raising doubts about the possibility of Sukuna receiving a death sentence. However, Yuji expressed confidence in having a solution as the focus shifted back to the present.
As Mei Mei successfully diverted Sukuna's attention with her crows, Yuji seized the opportunity to strike Sukuna, visibly impacting him. Higuruma then utilized his Domain Expansion to flashback and disclose Yuji's plan to ensure Sukuna's death sentence by implicating him as a co-defendant in the Shibuya Massacre. The issue concluded with Higuruma presenting this newly uncovered evidence to implicate Sukuna.
What to expect (speculative)
As Itadori and Higuruma face off against Sukuna, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245 is expected to reveal whether Yuji's plan is successful. Higuruma's death sentence is simply a means to acquire the Executioner's Sword, so there is little need to dwell on this part of the fight.
In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245, it is expected that Yuji and Higuruma will resume their battle with Sukuna by the end of the issue. This section will likely highlight Yuji's new Cursed Technique, which appears to have had an impact on Sukuna based on the blows he has delivered. Fans can anticipate an intense showdown between the characters.

Editor's P/S
As a die-hard fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of chapter 245. The confrontation between Yuji Itadori, Hiromi Higuruma, and Ryomen Sukuna is reaching its climax, and I can't wait to see how it unfolds.
Yuji's plan to implicate Sukuna as a co-defendant in the Shibuya Massacre is a bold and risky move, but it just might be the key to securing his execution. However, Sukuna is a formidable opponent, and I'm not sure if Yuji and Higuruma will be able to defeat him. Regardless of the outcome, I'm sure that chapter 245 will be an action-packed and thrilling read. I can't wait to see what Gege Akutami has in store for us!
