Unveiling the Fate of Choso in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 246

Chapter 246 of Jujutsu Kaisen focuses on the intense battle between Sukuna and the sorcerers. Despite the expectation of casualties from the Heian Era Sukuna, no character deaths have been confirmed. Amidst this uncertainty, Choso, a beloved character, has taken center stage.

After the Shibuya Incident arc, Choso became an emotional support for Yuji, but in the latest chapter, he was impaled by two of Sukuna's arms. This turn of events has left readers anxiously waiting for confirmation of Choso's fate and the potential impact on Yuji's journey.

In Chapter 246 of Jujutsu Kaisen, readers are drawn into an intense showdown, focusing on Sukuna's fierce battle against Higuruma, Kusakabe, Choso, and Yuji. The stakes are high, particularly considering the absence of major character deaths since the Heian Era fight against Sukuna, except for Kashimo.

Foreshadowing the potential demise of Higuruma has been a consistent motif in the recent chapters, elevating the level of suspense. The arrival of Choso onto the battlefield, accompanied by Kusakabe and Ino, sets the stage for what could be a catastrophic turn of events.

Choso's attempt to attack Sukuna with a Piercing Blood maneuver takes a shocking turn when the Cursed Spirit effortlessly dodges it. Sukuna then impales Choso through the torso with his arms before tossing him aside, leaving Yuji to catch the wounded Choso. Meanwhile, the focus shifts to Sukuna's intriguing interest in Higuruma, drawing parallels between his sorcerer abilities and those of the legendary Gojo Satoru. Despite surviving near-death encounters in the past, Choso now faces a serious injury at the hands of Sukuna, leading to doubts about his survival.

The latest chapter suggests that Choso may be the first fatality in this intense confrontation. While his condition is not yet verified in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 246, it is highly probable that his demise will be confirmed in the upcoming chapter 247.

Yuji's strongest personal bond is with Choso, especially after the losses of Nobara, Gojo, and potentially Megumi. It is highly likely that Gege Akutami will use Choso's death as another source of grief for Yuji, potentially driving him to greater desperation and anger, leading to the long-awaited showdown with Sukuna.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 246 is set for release on December 24, 2023, followed by a week-long hiatus. As the final chapter of 2023, readers will have to wait to discover Choso's fate.

Editor's P/S

As an enthusiastic fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am eagerly awaiting the release of Chapter 247 to confirm Choso's fate. The latest chapter left us with an intense cliffhanger, and I am anxious to know whether Choso will survive Sukuna's brutal attack. Choso has become a beloved character among fans, and his potential death would have a significant impact on the story and Yuji's journey.

The possibility of Choso's demise adds a layer of emotional depth to the narrative. Yuji has already lost several close friends and mentors, and Choso's death would be another devastating blow. This could potentially drive Yuji to greater desperation and anger, setting the stage for an epic showdown with Sukuna. Gege Akutami has a knack for creating compelling and emotionally resonant moments, and I trust that he will handle Choso's fate with sensitivity and care.
