The upcoming release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 246 has already yielded leaked information, offering a glimpse into Hiromi Higuruma's potential as a sorcerer. Higuruma, a lawyer who was thrust into the Jujutsu world due to Kenjaku's Culling Games, has joined forces with Yuji Itadori and others in their battle against Ryomen Sukuna.
Although the extent of Higuruma's potential in the series remains uncertain, he has garnered praise from Sukuna, leading to speculation that he could potentially succeed Satoru Gojo. This does not necessarily indicate that Higuruma will surpass Gojo as the strongest modern sorcerer, but rather that he may assume a leadership role and become a dependable ally. However, this chapter also hints at an impending conclusion for him.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 246 seems to suggest that Higuruma has greater potential than Hakari or Yuta to replace Gojo
The recent chapters of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga showcased Higuruma and Yuji's strategy to ensnare Sukuna using Higuruma's Domain Expansion and subject him to a trial resulting in the death penalty by the Executioner's Sword. However, Sukuna discovered a loophole in the Domain and broke free from the trial, leading to an attack on Higuruma, who was shielded to some extent by Atsuya Kusakabe.
Chapter 246 leaks reveal that Sukuna goes on a rampage, targeting several characters with the most damage to Choso. However, many readers have noticed that the King of Curses has shown particular interest in Higuruma. He acknowledges Higuruma's potential and believes that his Cursed Technique has the potential to become even stronger in the future.
The leaks suggest that Higuruma could be a better successor to Satoru Gojo than Yuta or Hakari due to the nature of his domain, his self-sacrificing nature, and his ability to adapt to battle without any prior experience. While everyone else on the battlefield has at least a year of Jujutsu world experience, Higuruma is learning on the fly and still manages to be a reliable asset.

It is undeniable that replacing Satoru Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen is nearly impossible. However, Higuruma has the potential to fill the role of the reliable figure in Jujutsu society and may even surpass Gojo and his students, such as Hakari, Yuta, and Yuji.
In a battle against Sukuna, Higuruma demonstrated his ability to strategize and reason despite lacking battle experience, competing at the level of the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer of all time. This showcases his natural ability, which surpasses that of Yuta and Hakari, making a strong case for his potential to take on a significant role in the Jujutsu world.
Final thoughts
In addition, Higuruma's strong moral compass and sense of justice were evident in his disappointment with the Japanese legal system and his determination to make a difference. This was especially apparent in the leaked chapter 246 flashback, where he discussed sacrificing his life with Yuji Itadori during their battle. Higuruma's recent display of determination and resolve in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga indicates his potential as a powerful sorcerer, despite the high likelihood of his death in the battle against Sukuna.
Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am thrilled to see the development of Higuruma's character and his potential to succeed Gojo. The leaked information from chapter 246 has certainly piqued my interest and excitement. Higuruma's impressive potential as a sorcerer, despite his lack of experience, is truly remarkable. His ability to strategize and reason during battles, even against formidable opponents like Sukuna, showcases his natural talent and adaptability.
Furthermore, Higuruma's strong moral compass and sense of justice add depth to his character and make him stand out among the other sorcerers. His determination to make a difference and his willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good are truly inspiring. While the possibility of his death in the battle against Sukuna looms large, I believe that Higuruma's impact on the Jujutsu world will be significant and long-lasting.
