After the hiatus, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 252 delivers on the suspense as Maki clashes with Sukuna while Yuta's destiny is unveiled, leaving readers on the edge of their seats.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 252 spoilers today were highly anticipated to unveil Yuta’s fate and Megumi’s future after a break, and they certainly delivered. The official translation is scheduled for release on Monday, January 19, 2024, at 12 a.m. JST in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump issue 12.
In the previous chapter, Yuji managed to infiltrate Sukuna’s inner Domain and found Megumi, who had lost hope. Yuta bravely shielded Yuji from Sukuna’s World-Cutting Slash, resulting in him being severely injured. Fortunately, Maki Zen’in intervened just in time and struck Sukuna with her Split Soul Katana.

According to the alleged Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 252 spoilers, the chapter is titled “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 24.”
The alleged spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 252 suggest that the chapter kicks off with a brief flashback featuring Ino, Maki, and Kusakabe observing Yuta’s Domain barrier from the outside. They anticipated the barrier being destroyed soon and had Maki poised for action.
Ino proposed the idea of having more people inside the Domain, but Kusakabe argued that it was too late to do so without risking the Domain's stability and alerting Sukuna to their presence. As Maki geared up for battle, Kusakabe encouraged her from the sidelines and declined to join in himself, despite Ino's urging.
Kusakabe instructed Maki to wait for Yuta's signal before making a move when the Domain was disrupted. Currently, Maki is engaging Sukuna in battle while Rika is holding on to Yuta until Ui Ui arrives to transport him to Shoko for healing. According to the rumored Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 252 spoilers, Ui Ui successfully brings Yuta to be healed, suggesting that there is hope for Yuta's survival.

Maki attempts to strike Sukuna with her Katana, but he skillfully dodges the attack. Sukuna comes to the realization that Yuta intentionally dismantled his Domain, serving as the anticipated signal mentioned by Kusakabe. Additionally, Sukuna acknowledges that the injuries inflicted by Maki are not as simple to heal compared to his usual wounds.
Chapter 252 of Jujutsu Kaisen unveils spoilers indicating that wounds inflicted by the Split Soul Katana cannot be healed using the regular Reversed Cursed Technique (RCT). Healing the soul directly is necessary, requiring a clear outline of one's soul.
Sukuna, with his extensive experience in possession, has developed the skill to accurately outline his own soul and distinguish it from the individual he is currently inhabiting.
However, Yuji Itadori's attempt to return to battle to rescue Megumi is thwarted as he collapses, coughing up blood. The damage sustained from his previous encounter with Gojo hinders his ability to heal, as repairing the soul demands a greater expenditure of Cursed Energy than standard RCT.

Despite Yuji's consistent use of RCT, his healing has been insufficient due to his limited experience with it. Instructed by Choso, he focuses on circulating his blood throughout his body and to every blood vessel.
Meanwhile, Sukuna attempts to seize Maki's Katana, but she skillfully defends herself. In a moment of distraction, he hurls a building at Maki and launches a sneak attack, which she narrowly avoids. Sukuna acknowledges Maki's exceptional ability to perceive his techniques, likening her to facing Mahoraga in Shibuya.
Even though her katana stabbed his heart, he is forcibly using Cursed energy to circulate his blood, which is what he did with Yuji’s body in the Detention center. Maki asks if he is going to continue that while fighting her. Sukuna replies that he has no problem as of now.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 252 spoilers then switch to Uraume Vs. Hakari, where Hakari states that Sukuna’s original form is not as scary as he thought.

Uraume refutes the claim that Sukuna's Cursed Energy reserve is drying up, suggesting instead that Sukuna is simply not interested in his opponents. Despite his battle with Gojo, Sukuna has yet to unleash his full power. As Maki looks on, a shadowy and monstrous silhouette of Sukuna ominously looms in front of her.
According to the latest Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 252 spoilers, there will be no hiatus next week. The manga is set to mark its 6th anniversary with the commencement of the 4th popularity poll, a colorful spread, and a feature on the cover of Weekly Shonen Jump issue 15.
Editor's P/S:
The latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, chapter 252, has been highly anticipated, and the spoilers certainly delivered. The chapter focuses on the battle between Maki and Sukuna, as well as Hakari and Uraume. The spoilers reveal that Maki is able to land a blow on Sukuna, but he is able to heal himself using Cursed energy. Hakari, on the other hand, is able to hold his own against Uraume, but it is clear that Sukuna is still the more powerful opponent.
Overall, the spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 252 were very exciting and left me eager to read the full chapter. The battle between Maki and Sukuna is particularly intriguing, as it is unclear who will ultimately come out on top. I am also interested to see how Hakari will fare against Uraume, and whether he will be able to defeat him.
