Chapter 245 recap
The Uraume and Kinji Hakari engaged in a fierce battle in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 245, with Uraume freezing Hakari's limbs and Hakari regenerating them instantly. Uraume boasted that his regeneration speed surpassed Sukuna and Satoru Gojo's, but Hakari relentlessly overwhelmed him as her attacks only lasted for a few seconds.
Uraume then commended Hakari for his fearlessness in embracing his humanity, unlike many other sorcerers in the modern era. In response, Hakari mentioned that Yuta Okkotsu had recently discussed the importance of humanity with him, and then expressed his excitement for their upcoming fight.

The perspective then turned to Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma facing off against Ryomen Sukuna. Higuruma explained his Domain Expansion to Sukuna and considered the potential outcomes in his mind.
However, Sukuna dismissed the formalities, prompting Judgeman to issue a death sentence and confiscate Sukuna. This led to Higuruma using the Executioner’s Sword and triggered the other Jujutsu High sorcerers and their allies to join the battle and overpower Sukuna.
Shockingly, the chapter ended by revealing that Sukuna’s Cursed Tool from Yorozu was confiscated rather than his Cursed Technique as the sorcerers were attacked.

With the failure of the Deadly Sentencing plan, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 246 is expected to lay the groundwork for Yuji Itadori's new and mysterious Cursed Technique as the ultimate weapon against Sukuna. While it is unlikely that their battle will commence immediately in the next issue, it is anticipated to be in progress by the end of the chapter.
Additionally, in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 246, Yuji should have ample opportunity to strike Sukuna again, showcasing the effectiveness of his Cursed Technique. This will likely serve as a lead-in to a detailed explanation of Yuji's new technique in the next chapter.

Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of chapter 246. The previous chapter left us with a thrilling cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see how the battle between Yuji, Higuruma, and Sukuna unfolds. I believe that Yuji's true Cursed Technique will play a crucial role in turning the tide of the fight, and I am excited to learn more about its abilities.
The release of chapter 246 also marks the beginning of a new year for Jujutsu Kaisen, and I am optimistic about the future of the series. Gege Akutami has consistently delivered high-quality content, and I trust that he will continue to do so in the coming chapters. I am particularly interested in seeing how the story develops after the events of the Culling Game, and I am eager to learn more about the mysteries surrounding the Jujutsu world.
