Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 252: Maki's Epic Battle Against Sukuna

The latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen marked the return after a 2-week hiatus, bringing a wave of excitement to readers.

Additionally, the author unveiled intriguing information in this chapter, adding an extra layer of depth to the storyline.

Yuta's Last Stand Against Sukuna

Even after a 2-week break, the author's art seems rather rough, which is concerning for fans. It suggests that the author may not be in the best health and is struggling to meet deadlines. Despite this, it is commendable that the author still managed to submit the chapter on time. Fans are grateful for the exciting chapters each week, despite the author's health issues. Once again, JJK chapter 252 delivered an incredibly thrilling dose of combat.

Chapter 252 of JJK started with a quick flashback. It showed what happened before Maki entered the battle and attacked Sukuna in the previous chapter. At the end of the last chapter, Yuta's domain began to break, prompting Maki to join the fight and strike him from behind. She landed a powerful hit on him. This week's chapter revealed why she did that. Surprisingly, Yuta's domain didn't break after being hit by the world-cutting slash. He intentionally broke it himself as a signal for Maki to step in. She received the signal and performed exceptionally well in the battle.

Maki swiftly joined the battle, striking Sukuna before Yuta even hit the ground. Despite Yuta's impressive performance, Maki's quick action was noteworthy. Kusakabe then called for Ui Ui to take over Rika's body and teleport Yuta to Shoko for healing.

There is a strong indication that Shoko will heal all the fallen warriors, including Yuta. Although JJK chapter 252 didn't focus much on Yuta, his actions in the beginning pages were highly praised by fans, especially considering his severe injuries and near-death experience.

Maki Vs Sukuna Begins

In the majority of JJK chapter 252, Maki and Sukuna continued their intense fight. In the previous chapter, Maki delivered a powerful blow directly to Sukuna's heart, causing it to stop beating. Sukuna struggled to heal the damage inflicted by Maki's Split Soul Katana, which harms the target's soul if the wielder can see the soul themselves.

Since Maki could see Sukuna's soul, she was able to effectively damage it. Sukuna realized he couldn't heal the wound properly because one must be able to see the outline of their soul for soul damage to heal. Although Sukuna could see his soul, his battle with Gojo prevented him from healing properly. This weakened his reverse cursed technique, leading him to manually make his heart beat, just like when he removed it from Yuji's body in the past.

Yuji Attempts To Heal

Yuji, witnessing Sukuna's struggle against Maki, decides to step in and try to heal him. He knows that Sukuna is a formidable opponent and wants to help him in any way he can. Yuji's healing abilities are not as advanced as his combat skills, but he is determined to do whatever it takes to support Sukuna in this intense battle.

In JJK chapter 252, fans got a good look at Yuji's condition. After Sukuna's attack, Yuji tried to get back into the fight but ended up on his knees, coughing up blood. It was clear that he was seriously injured. Yuji realized that some of his wounds had not healed yet, and as a beginner in reverse cursed technique, it took him a while to figure out what to do. Just in time, Choso came to his aid and showed him how to spread his blood throughout his body, suggesting the use of Blood Manipulation.

Combining this with the reverse cursed technique, Yuji is now healing more effectively than before and is ready to rejoin the battle against Sukuna. It seems like Yuji is on the path to recovery and eager to get back into action, which should happen soon. Despite this, the main focus is still on Sukuna and Maki for now.

In JJK chapter 252, fans got a sneak peek of Hakari's battle with Uraume. Although they didn't actually fight, their presence added more depth to the showdown between Sukuna and the sorcerers. Hakari revealed that Sukuna was quite controllable in combat, even in his true form. Uraume pointed out that Sukuna only unleashes his full power when absolutely necessary. Currently, since the sorcerers have no one stronger than Gojo to offer, Sukuna is holding back. He will only unleash his full power when pushed to the limit, and as the intensity of the battle increases, Sukuna is just getting warmed up.
