Sukuna's Escape Shakes Yuji's Strategy: Unveiling Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 245

The official release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245 this weekend offers fans a closer look at Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma’s continued battle against Ryomen Sukuna. Additionally, the chapter reveals a fight between Kinji Hakari and Uraume that has extended beyond previous chapters. The primary focus of the chapter, however, is the ongoing battle between Higuruma and Yuji versus Sukuna, with the former trapping the latter in the Deadly Sentencing Domain Expansion. Despite fan theories, the outcome of the battle is quite shocking.

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245, Kinji Hakari and Uraume continue their intense battle. Uraume expresses regret over being separated from Sukuna and uses a powerful Frost Calm Cursed Technique to freeze Hakari. The narrator describes this technique as the true essence of ice sorcery. Despite Hakari's upper body being frozen and Uraume breaking his arm, Hakari's arm regenerates, allowing him to overpower Uraume.

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245, Uraume declares that Hakari's ability to regenerate surpasses that of Sukuna and Satoru Gojo as she impales him with a massive icicle through his stomach. Despite this, Hakari remains unfazed, instantly healing the wound and continuing to battle. Uraume then attempts to freeze one of Hakari's legs, but he simply breaks it off, regenerates it, and delivers another powerful kick.

After putting his shoe back on, Uraume tells him she misjudged him and criticizes modern-era sorcerers for their obsession with "remaining human." She argues that their fear of being alone makes them weak and forces them to hold back from using their full power. In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245, it's revealed that Uraume caused water pipes to burst, flooding the battlefield. She then observes Hakari's lack of fear and his difference from other sorcerers, suggesting that he will no longer be considered human.

Uraume threatens to unleash their full power to destroy Hakari, prompting Hakari to sarcastically question if talking about humanity is the latest trend. He recalls Yuta Okkotsu giving him a similar lecture and acknowledges the gloomy kid's unwavering commitment and respect. Hakari then taunts Uraume to get him a "ice-cold one" as the perspective of the issue shifts.

The perspective then shifts to Higuruma’s Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245, where he presents new evidence to Judgeman implicating Sukuna in the Shibuya murders. Higuruma goes on to explain how his Domain works to Sukuna, confident that everything is going according to their carefully laid out plan.

Higuruma believes that if Sukuna was not mentally unsound or deteriorated at the time, he should be sentenced to death. He begins to lecture Sukuna about the evidence, but Sukuna interrupts, claiming he is only interested in the Executioner’s Sword and already knows the rules of the Domain Expansion. In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245, Sukuna urges Judgeman to hurry up and end the trial, leading to Judgeman declaring Sukuna guilty and enacting a sentence of confiscation and the Death Penalty. This closes the Domain Expansion and returns the trio to the original battlefield.

Furthermore, Higuruma receives the Executioner’s Sword and contemplates the implications. It seems that Sukuna may have already lost the ability to use the Ten Shadows Technique, leading to the possibility of having his Domain confiscated. If Sukuna is unable to utilize any Cursed Techniques, then Higuruma believes he should be in control with the Executioner’s Sword.

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245, the narrator declares that the Jujutsu High sorcerers acted quickly, eager to seize the chance for victory. Takuma Ino, Choso, and Atsuya Kusakabe are shown preparing to join the battle, while Higuruma is questioned about his intentions.

The narrator highlights that Higuruma and Sukuna sensed something amiss with the opportunity, just as Sukuna unleashed his Cursed Technique on the sorcerers. The chapter concludes with the narrator disclosing that when someone wields a Cursed Tool like Sukuna, it is the Tool that Judgeman takes hold of before the Cursed Technique.

Chapter 245 of the series is an exhilarating and surprising addition. Hakari's intense battle with Uraume is reaching a climactic point, and Yuji and his team are facing a major obstacle in their fight against Sukuna. Furthermore, it appears that Higuruma may not be able to use his Domain Expansion again so soon, adding to the group's challenge. Despite this, Sukuna still has his Cursed Technique, setting the stage for a focus on Yuji's new deadly Cursed Technique in the upcoming chapters.
