Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 subtly hints at Yuji Itadori's inherited Cursed Technique as showdown with Sukuna begins
Fans are thrilled as the unedited scans for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 are now out, revealing the intense battle between Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma against Ryomen Sukuna. The highly anticipated chapter begins with Itadori and Higuruma standing above Sukuna as they enter the battlefield of Shinjuku.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 primarily delves into a flashback of the heroes' preparations for the impending battle against Sukuna and Kenjaku, in the event of Satoru Gojo's demise. Kusakabe reviews their strategy of having Yuta Okkotsu deliver the final blow to Kenjaku after his clash with Takaba.
The initial portion of the chapter serves as a moment for the fanbase to catch their breath, with its focus on character interaction and strategic planning. Noritoshi Kamo announces his decision to withdraw from the fight to attend to his family. Itadori expresses his gratitude to Kamo for the valuable lessons, given that Choso apparently isn't the best teacher.
While Itadori's statement about Kamo teaching him may seem ambiguous, it could suggest that he has acquired a new skill. There are rumors that this skill could be Blood Manipulation, a signature ability of the Kamo clan utilized by both Choso and Noritoshi.
Itadori accused Choso of being a bad teacher, implying that Noritoshi may have been the one to teach him how to use Blood Manipulation before the showdown at Shinjuku. Despite Itadori's significant increase in strength, fans have yet to see him develop any special skills to give him an advantage against Sukuna.
During their fight at Shinjuku, a particular moment stands out. When Itadori engages Sukuna in hand-to-hand combat, Sukuna effortlessly defends against the attacks. However, the attack seems to surprise him for some reason, as he visibly appears confused before Higuruma opens his domain.
The latest development in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 has sparked anticipation for a potential power boost for Itadori. While it could be interpreted as his newfound ability to directly harm his enemy's soul, Sukuna's evident astonishment at the assault implies there may be more to it.
To conclude
Itadori may have acquired valuable training from Noritoshi Kamo, potentially mastering the art of blood manipulation. This could prove to be a crucial asset for Itadori in his impending battle against Sukuna, given the immense power and adaptability of the aforementioned Cursed Technique.
In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244, the focus is on the heroes' strategy to defeat Sukuna, with a subtle suggestion of Itadori's potential power increase. The chapter concludes with Higuruma using his Domain on Sukuna, initiating the latter's third trial in Shibuya.
It's to be noted that there is a break between the chapters next week. Fans will have to wait to see the continuation of Sukuna's trial, which could very likely be the key to his defeat.
Editor's P/S
In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244, we finally get a glimpse of Yuji's inherited Cursed Technique, and it's a doozy. It appears that he can now manipulate blood, which is a pretty awesome ability. This could give him a much-needed edge in his fight against Sukuna.
I'm really excited to see how Yuji's new power develops in future chapters. I think it has the potential to be really game-changing. It will be interesting to see how he uses it to defeat Sukuna and save the world.
