Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 246 recap

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 246, “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 18”, depicted Kusakabe uncovering Sukuna’s technique. The Dismantle Slashes were capable of cutting through the world if Sukuna expanded their range, while Cleave Slashes varied in strength depending on the target and could be triggered upon contact. In terms of defense, only a regular Dismantle was effective. Kusakabe made a vow to protect Higuruma, and as Choso launched an attack on Sukuna, the Cursed dodged and injured Choso. Ino then used Nanami’s blade, carrying the late sorcerer’s 7-3 Cursed Technique, to wound Sukuna as Yuji saved Choso.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 247 (speculation)

A flashback revealed that the Executioner’s Sword could distinguish between souls in the same body and only killed the guilty soul, thus it had the potential to kill Sukuna if Judgeman gave him the Death Penalty, thereby saving Megumi. In the present, Higuruma managed to use Domain Amplification, impressing Sukuna with a talent that was "equal to Satoru Gojo’s."

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 247 may center around the clash between Hakari and Uraume, or revisit the whereabouts of Yuta and Takaba. Nonetheless, given the previous chapter's spotlight on Higuruma’s skill and potential, the primary focus should shift to his confrontation with Sukuna.

Choso’s fate after Sukuna injured him will also be confirmed in the chapter. If the all-out battle continues, the focus will shift to the executioner’s sword with Ino, Yuji, and Kusakabe providing support. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the revelation of Yuji's Cursed Technique since his entry into the battlefield, and it is hoped that chapter 247 will finally provide the answers.

Yuji’s plan to save Megumi is simple and effective, but it is likely to encounter obstacles. It remains a mystery whether anything of Megumi’s soul still exists. Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 247 may uncover whether there is any hope left for Yuji to rescue Megumi or if he is lost forever.

Editor's P/S

As a passionate fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Chapter 247. The previous chapter left us with an intense cliffhanger, as Sukuna and Higuruma faced off in a battle of wits and strength. The revelation of Sukuna's Dismantle and Cleave Slashes techniques, as well as the potential of the Executioner's Sword to save Megumi, has raised the stakes even higher.

I am particularly excited to see how the fight between Sukuna and Higuruma unfolds. Higuruma's Domain Amplification and his talent that rivals Satoru Gojo's have made him a formidable opponent for Sukuna. It will be fascinating to witness the strategies and techniques they employ in their battle, and how the other characters, such as Choso, Ino, Yuji, and Kusakabe, will play a role in the outcome.
