Revealed: Yuji's Inheritance of a Deadly Weapon in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248

Despite the week-long publication delay, eager fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248 to continue the beloved story. Gege Akutami's original manga series has loyal fans who are incredibly invested in the series, and this is especially true in the present day.

As fans eagerly await Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248, they are most concerned about the fate of Hiromi Higuruma, who was seemingly killed by Sukuna in the previous chapter. Additionally, the long-term status of the Executioner's Sword is a major source of worry for fans, especially with Yuji Itadori preparing to use it against Sukuna.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248 could be setting Yuji up as inheriting yet another mentor’s will, in physical form

The upcoming release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248 is expected to provide clarification for fans on two key points. However, the editor’s preview may have already hinted at the answers. According to the latest preview, it appears that Yuji has "inherited" the Executioner’s Sword from Higuruma.

The preview and its implications explained

The mention that Yuji has inherited Higuruma’s Executioner’s Sword comes from the editor’s note preview for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248. While these notes are known for being misleading, they have also accurately foreshadowed coming events. If true, this tease has exciting implications for the series' near future, particularly in relation to the chance of rescuing Megumi Fushiguro. The continued existence of the Executioner’s Sword offers hope for Megumi’s return, which is significant considering his status as a fan-favorite character.

Yuji's possession of the Executioner’s Sword in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248 may lead to a delay in the full explanation and use of his new Cursed Technique. Despite this, it is expected that Yuji will prioritize using the Executioner’s Sword to rescue Megumi and end the fight with Sukuna.

The Sword's continued existence could be a game-changer for fans' understanding of Cursed Energy and Domain Expansions if Higuruma is dead. If the Executioner's Sword can persist despite Higuruma's death, it would become one of the most formidable weapons in the series.

However, a more plausible outcome for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248 is that Higuruma is revealed to be alive but barely holding on. This would add further tension, as Yuji would have a limited time with the Sword before it vanishes. Fans would be invested in the outcome, especially given Higuruma's popularity as a character.

Higuruma has the ability to heal himself with the Reverse Cursed Technique, but it appears that he currently lacks the energy to even begin the process. Allowing Higuruma to heal himself would negate the sacrifice and passing of the torch to Yuji, as shown in the previous issue. Therefore, it seems that Yuji will inherit the Executioner’s Sword, but only for a limited and brief period of time.

Editor's P/S

As an enthusiastic fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of chapter 248. The preview has fueled my excitement with the possibility of Yuji inheriting the deadly Executioner's Sword. This development has profound implications for the series, particularly in relation to the fate of Megumi Fushiguro and the ongoing battle against Sukuna.

The Executioner's Sword holds immense significance, not only as a powerful weapon but also as a symbol of hope for Megumi's rescue. If Yuji indeed inherits the sword, it could potentially change the course of the story and provide a glimmer of hope for Megumi's return. The prospect of Yuji wielding this formidable weapon against Sukuna is both thrilling and nerve-wracking, as it raises the stakes and intensifies the conflict.
