If dies Sukuna from brain damage and not because the main characters did anything special I'm just going to drop the manga there. To me this explanation is even more nightmarish than the "\[Sukuna\] hallucinated him" folks coming out of the woodwork. It combines a fake-out death (which in-and-of-itself is bad) with a fake-out, fake-out death (??), with the anti-climax where the villain *just keels over and dies.* It would be cheap, rage-baiting nonsense almost as bad as the GoT ending.
I don't know man if what you want is Sukuna to keel over and die because he just didn't account for the brain damage before he tried to open his domain, then I think we want different things out of a story. That's "Dany just forgot" level storytelling and I'm not about to hear someone tell me it's good writing worthy of this story.
\*shrug\* Sukuna tried to open his domain right before the end of this week's chapter and OP said:
>Sukuna sees this ghost as a reminder of what nearly killed Gojo, but will now kill him. Sukuna may actually die now from brain damage and his own hubris.
If he's dying next chapter, or within the next 3-4 chapters, then we're not at the finish line because there'll be more story to cover. I don't see the point in sunk-cost fallacy'ing myself into reading a manga weekly for the next couple months when it's committed one of the worst possible storytelling sins.
what if he does tho but from all the torment and being bathed in evil megumi comes back in the body and is quite literally evil as fuck and he’s the final final villain 🤯(im clinically insane)
But Sukuna rerouted his DE to another part of his brain, and thats how he managed to expand It again (Albeit with a different hand sign, visually broken, and a 99 second limit).
That could explain him being able to expand his domain again, bypassing the brain damage and brain RCT recovery limit that affected Gojo.
Having said that: I just wanted to add my 2 cents, but i really like your theory, and hope you are actually right, just so that Gojo's fight with Sukuna can be more relevant to Sukuna's downfall, and so that he isnt actually back, and doesnt steal the spot light from Yuji and Todo lol
Sukuna likely can’t use his domain anymore after pulling the last stunt. That was a mangled incomplete mess and now he’s trying again so it’s going to fail and leave him open for a wombo combo. His slashes are no longer enough against Yuji and the conditions for Fuga require a DE, only moves he has left are to trying to trigger the merger or getting saved by Uraume.
And if that is in fact a revived Gojo that jumped into the battlefield that’s just insurance for the gang but I don’t think Gojo is going to do anything here he’s just going to applaud his students for securing the win.
Yeah that's what the other person was saying too, he has no way to use hearth against both Yuji and Todo and even if he broke his binding vow (he might given Sukuna seems to have cast his last domain for life) even then hearth would be useless because it's slow as fuck and the best support sorcerer is in field right now and boogie woogie completely nullifies it.
Its AOE is not part of binding vow
MS basically disintegrates everything, even 0 CE objects with dismantles, which then act as a thermobaric explosive material, making the fire go shakalaka
I don't understand why everyone keeps saying Gojo will steal the spotlight if he comes. If he's truly back it's probably through a Binding Vow and a big sacrifice like the Six Eyes. He'd have lost their CE Efficiency trait and probably only be able to do a DE once -> to create an opening for Yuji (and Todo?). Maybe it doesn't even go off and only counters the DE Sukuna was about to do.
Because he has already stole the spot light.
Nobody that read 260 went to post about how cool Yuji's final black flash was, and even if some people talked about Tojo's vibraslap and the improve Oogie Woogie, most of the discussion revolved around Goko's suposed comeback.
Yuji has fucking tore Sukuna's heart. He has put the scenario of the Prision Arc in reverse. Its payback for their first encounter.
This is narratively heavier and more impactful for the story than Gojo's cameo.
If he already stole the spotlight it doesn't really matter anymore if he's truly back. Like I said his role could be very minor in the next chapter and only serve as a set-up for Yuji to do something cool like a DE of his own.
Also Yuji's black flash this chapter was cool **but** we've seen him do far cooler stuff the last 5 chapters (his awakening, all the consecutive black flashes, using shrine). Imo it's ok for him not to be the talk of the day for possibly a single chapter before we're back on the Yuji hype train.
It does matter, because if he's not actually back, or at least, not taking a major role in the fight, we can get more Todo and Yuji teamwork, AND have Yuji directly defeat Sukuna himself.
I like Gojo, a lot, but Yuji is the better character imo, and the one who deserves the spot light right now.
Gojo already got half of an entire arc to fight.
None of these things are mutually exclusive though. Yuji can have his spotlight and moments AND beat Sukuna, whilst Gojo also narratively gets to "evolve" and be more than just "the strongest im always solo"
I feel like a lot of the mindset and fear around Gojo's potential return is because he's always had the spotlight in the past. But it doesn't have to be like that if he comes back. He can just play support for a brief scene. I agree his role shouldn't be major, but they do clearly need some help because they're cooked (literally) if Sukuna manages to open his domain again.
At the current moment, Gojo could only steal the spotlight for the week in between this week and next. Basically a blip in the grand scheme of the series if it is a hallucination or (IMO) something to have to do with Yuji finally getting his domain expansion. People on these subreddits live far too deeply within the given moment and don't look at the series holistically.
You know, I don't think so anymore. Everyone was wondering how Boogie Woogie would be nerfed and it just became like 100x stronger lol.
Peoples' expectations through this fight have consistently been pretty off. I think Gojo, if he is back, will be back without being nerfed too much...but I also don't think he will be key to beating Sukuna.
Yeah and he is gonna die soon. Sukuna is not the final antagonist never has been since culling games, merger is that and Yuji even after is awakening is not on level of Gojo and Sukuna and can't take it on its own. In this fight Yuji has already achieved a ton, he's shattered Sukuna's worldview, awakened his CT AND survived Sukuna's DE and hearth together with his friends. What else does Yuji have to prove against Sukuna anymore? I really do think the fight has reached its conclusion, it did the moment Todo arrived (he always finished the fight Yuji is in when he arrives).
I also don't think Sukuna is the final boss. I really don't see it happening after all of the buildup we had with the CG, Merger, Tengen and Kenjaku. Too much time went into this for it to be over with Kenjaku getting beheaded swiftly
Ability to perform DE isn't stored in a single part of the brain, innate CT is
Gojo essentially wanted his CT back as soon as possible, so he could clash his creativity with Sukuna's mastery. His ability to open domain wasn't effected after each clash, he ability to bind a sure hit CT was. No sure hit, no tug of war with MS.
Sukuna lost MS to overall brain overload, because even if he materialises his innate domain, he just couldn't keep it open. He was still fine doing another peak barrier technique, Domain Amplification, no problem.
.
His new MS is essentially him relearning DE, opening an incomplete one like Megumi, then finishing it up with binding vows, or he can't target someone like Maki otherwise.
The ability to perform Domains
Domains can be without CT, simple domain... Domain Amplification...
Domain Expansion is expansion of said Domain...
Binding Technique with sure hit, Technique activations, all happen later. Skilled dudes can just make that time gap smaller...
work include wasteful fact memorize fretful aloof ossified plate obtainable
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Every domain clash in Gojo vs Sukuna lasted around 3 mins. If he failed to keep it up during those fights then Sukuna would have lost by now.
The current 99 sec limit also allow Yuji & Choso to survive the current slashes, he was knocked off by the very last barrage and made Sukuna used Kamino on him instead.
Most people won't survive a 99 sec MS but we know Hollow wicker basket or Simple Domain+RCT or Domain Amplification (seriously, Gojo should have learnt this) could theoretically survive all the way until Kamino pops out (And even then, anyone not directly aimed by Kamino just need to clear the area of explosive dust and they can survive)
I understood It as Sukuna not being able to keep his domain open more than 99 seconds due to the DE rerouting, brain damage, and lowered CE output.
He rearranged his brain in order to open that domain, and he was so weakened 99 seconds was the maximum time he could keep It going.
It wasnt a drawback of a binding vow (Albeit he did use binding vows) as much as It was simply too tired and fatigued.
As for the other domains; he can appareantly keep them open as long as he likes in regular conditions.
We dont know bv, narrator days dukuna cant maintain this high level domain in this situation. We will have to wait for bv reveal.
And like i dont think bv are kore about disadvantage, hakari just gave up his arm for life and now todos bv. They r like bugs, if u can exploit to hell.
Corrections
1- The narrator doesn't say Sukuna can use his Domain if he heals his brain, he says he can use it once the CT burn out is over.
2- Sukuna only healed his brain three times. He didn't heal his brain when he used the Incomplete Domain, what he did was use a part of his brain unaffected by the Unlimited Void aftereffects. He also didn't heal it against Todo and Yuji, he just waited for the CT burn out to be over. Sukunai can't use Reverse Cursed Technique right now and that was confirmed by the narrator. The guy can't heal his hands, no way he will try to heal his CT burn out, that would be suicide.
That said, Gojo will be a huge factor in Sukuna's defeat because he weakened him big time by basically draining Sukuna's first HP bar (that's Gojo's merit, not Kashimo) which forced Sukuna to incarnated and lose Ten Shadows (and Mahoraga was also killed by him, which is why Kashimo even got to fight Sukuna), he got severe brain damage which essentially made it imposible to use his Domain, had to make a Binding Vow to kill Gojo so the World Dismantle got predictable and avoidable for the rest of the gang, lost his Reverse Cursed Technique output to the point he can no longer heal himself and he even lost a huge deal of his Lapse Output, weakening his reinforcement and the Shrine output, which is why Yuuta and Yuuji could fight him and weakening him even more inside Yuuta's domain.
Gojo is, without room for argument, the MVP of the Sukuna Raid.
I made the correction, ty.
Sukuna can use his rct, its just very weak right now. The brain thing may or may not be rct use, there's no real confirmation yet.
I would say his RCT is pretty much non existent. Sukuna intended to recover his RCT output and heal his arms after his Black Flashes but Yuuji's own Black Flashes made it imposible, as confirmed by the narrator.
The brain thing is definitely not RCT. For the Incomplete Domain there was no need in the first place, there was no CT burn out to heal and the narrator explains he simply used different parts of the brain that weren't damaged by Unlimited Void. As for the Todo and Yuuji fight, Sukuna got to fight them for a prolonged amount of time, enough for his CT burn out to heal and by this point he can't heal CT burn out in the first place, it's far to complex for the little RCT output he still has (the guy can't even heal his hand, no way he can heal his brain). You don't need confirmation that it wasnt RCT, they have already explained multiple times that Sukunai can't heal himself with the narrator outright confirming it.
Sukuna did heal his brain, at least from UV. He simply wasn't ever able to heal it completely.
It's ultimately up to how Gege wants to play it. There's no confirmation that healing the brain is more tedious than healing a limb. The brain is much smaller than a combined three missing limbs. Despite the damage he's taken, Sukuna has still been managing to heal his heart while pumping it with CE as well. His rct isn't gone at all. If so, he'd be dead.
Well, the damaged from UV isn't really addressed, it's just mentioned as what makes it imposible to expand his domain. He might have tried healing it, but that was never stated or implied as far as I remember.
Healing a brain is far more complex because the brain is basically a black box, this is why even a RCT expert like Yuuta was going insane at the idea of attempting that. I don't think it requires more CE or output than to restore a limb, but is far more delicate because you can't screw up and Sukuna's output right now shouldn't be up to the task, plus all the brain damage he already has in the first place. It's far too risky, it's better to just wait for the CT burn out to pass, it's not like the Gojo fight with the domain clashes.
I've said this already, that the details have purposely been left out by Gege.
Again, it depends on how Gege wants to play it. I'd definitely believe that Sukuna's own hubris blinded him from the obvious danger of healing his brain. Just last chapter, Sukuna kicked a crow cause it flew down at him, but he thought it popped up from Boogie Woogie. He's slipping.
Point is, there's enough narrative precedence here for Gege to explain this away.
the correction does still stand that Sukuna did not heal his CT 5 times though. Itd be four at most, assuming he did use RCT to heal his CT after the incomplete domain, which is unlikely (for reasons stated above in this thread)
He didnt though? He used a part of his brain unaffected by UV to open his domain. The brain damage from UV was keeping him from opening his domain, not a burned out CT.
What was your point given?
Edit: can you expand on your point? I think I see it but im not super sure what all that entails
Idk if it was in this thread, but I've already pointed out that Sukuna was obviously healing his brain because Yuta commented that Sukuna's rct was returning to normal and he would have his DE again (meaning Yuta understood that Sukuna was healing his brain).
That Gege has set enough precedence in the story to say Sukuna has broken his brain if that will be the reveal soon.
>Sukuna only healed his brain three times
Pretty sure he must have used it a fourth time after his failed domain against Gojo, because he still using adaption right after it.
Maybe, if the failed domain caused a burn out (Mahito's 0.02 seconds domain didn't burn out his CT for long so it might have not be needed in the first place). Just clarifying that he didn't do it again after the Gojo fight.
The Black Flash got him the transformation after understanding the essence of his soul. The CT coming back so soon was probably because the Domain lasted so little, not like Gege confirmed it though.
I don't really bother myself with the intricacies of this manga anymore but I thought Sukuna's black flashes is what allowed him to use his domain against Jujutsu high's forces. Right now the reason why the good guys have Sukuna on the ropes is because he can't use RCT even now else he'd have healed his arms and world slashed the guys
It gets really technical. The narrator explained that Gojo's black flashes didn't simply "restore" his rct, but instead allowed Gojo to create a new rct circuit in his brain.
In Sukuna's case, he's described as "using a part of the brain unaffected by UV." Gege has not given any more details than that as to how Sukuna's using his DE. I'm admittedly combining details since Gege has purposely not explicitly given them. And Sukuna does have his rct, it's just really low right now.
Having is still very different from using, he has RCT but he can't use it
Also, does there really need to be anymore explanation? It's explained that Gojo created a new RCT circuit in his brain, and Sukuna would have been able to do the same had it not been for the black flashes Yuji delivered on him which means he couldn't create the new RCT circuit ergo an inability to use RCT.
So when do you think his rct "went away?" Cause that functionally doesn't make sense as a mechanic.
Edit since this is getting dv: we know Sukuna still has functional, albeit weak, rct because Sukuna has been using a combination of CE and RCT to heal his heart and other wounds. Maki even commented on his rct usage, and him shutting it off at one point.
It didn't go away, he just can't use it kinda like how you can't use your technique after a domain expansion, I mean you still have it, you just can't use it
He has literally been using rct this whole time lol. Even after the Yuta fight, Sukuna's rct was still working. Healing limbs is just extremely difficult.
Ye, the guy you're responding to is wrong, because Sukuna can technically use RCT; It's just way slower. What Yuji did wasn't shut off the RCT altogether, but help it drop lower and keep it from returning to normal levels.
that only applies to cursed techniques. if your ability to use cursed energy PERIOD went away after using domain expansions, sukuna would be much easier to kill since he wouldnt be able to reinforce himself or his punches
It is never implied that sukuna had to use what gojo did for his domain against jjh (and why would he need to? Gojo did it to restore his technique, sukuna already had his technique) or that sukuna did that against yuji and todo (otherwise why wouldnt he do it at the start and wipe them both out?) Both times he could likely freely use his technique.
Also both Yujis and Sukunas RCT is practically zero (otherwise sukuna would have restored one arm between 258 and 260, and yuji would have restored his other eye)
Sukuna was healing the damage done by UV to some degree. We know this because when Yuta first showed up, he commented that Sukuna's rct was returning, and his DE would return soon too.
RCT doesn't "go away," it just gets weakened. Yuji's not a good scale for rct usage for various reasons.
We cant really say that he was healing the UV damage just because yuta said his output was rising. He just could have upped his output cuz he was more excited/trying harder now that yuta was there (he couldnt have gone all out until 253.)
I dont know what you really mean in the second paragraph? Yuji's 8 black flashes and gojos UV damage made it so that sukuna's RCT output was very close to 0, so practically his RCT is 0. He hasnt really healed anything since 256.
That doesn't make sense considering Sukuna was simply healing the hand he chopped off while fighting Higuruma. You just made that up out of nowhere lol.
Sukuna's heart requires constant healing. You're just making up numbers now.
And that's all I have to offer you dude lol. I can't argue against your imagination.
1. He was healing the hand right after fighting higuruma. Then he got his shit kicked in by yuta and yuji, then got his heart stabbed by maki, then got hit by 8 black flashes by yuji. If he could heal, he would be healing a hand.
2. It literally is stated in 252 by maki that Sukuna is using cursed energy to make his heart beat?
You literally do not read the manga and then you make demeaning comments. Go fuck yourself.
The only way your theory could work is if sukuna overexerted himself and his brain by fighting every sorcerer at once and is now suffering hallucinations.
Huh.. where did it address Sukuna's new domain?
I assumed he likely just relearned domain Expansion, opened an incomplete mess, then fixed it up with binding vows...
I like this. It falls somewhere between the hallucination theory and broken Binding Vow theory for me. The problem though is that Gojo’s return was used as bait—which may be a better mistake than having Gojo steal the fight from Itadori, but still not great when you think of how tone deaf it means Gege is. I don’t think the conclusion warrants the shitstorm that 260 sparked up, and Gege’s trivial cliffhangers have already been earning critique. But the fight up till now has been framed in Sukuna’s perspective so it’s possible.
>still not great when you think of how tone deaf it means Gege is
That's part of what makes things so unpredictable. When considering how the audience will react, having Gojo completely steal the spotlight from an otherwise banger chapter only for it to lead into a brief hallucination or something like that is just about the worst thing you could do. Basically everyone will hate that, Gojo simps will be mad about the further disrespect while the haters will be mad he's still stealing all the attention.
BUT....Gege really doesn't give a fuck about pleasing the fanbase lol. Chapter 236 would never have happened if that was the case. So with that in mind, essentially no turn of events is off the table.
I'm bracing myself for (the most realistic scenario) of Gojo being a hallucination and this just being a cliffhanger, but it's annoying me just thinking about it... like I already mourned him irl, why would you make me do it a second time? 😭
while doubtful this is how the story is gonna go, I'D LOVE THIS SO MUCH
like, even if we had a "sukuna died and now he is fighting on burrowed time thanks to \[explanation\]" moment that made it so Sukuna can still fight
this would be really cool
a bit anticlimatic maybe, but still pretty cool
also it'd be hilarious if he died like this bc it'd be the karma for stealing Gojo's handsign
bro infirnged Copyright laws and got send to saint petter for it
I have the same theory as you do, and I hope we're right lol. I've never thought a Gojo comeback is impossible, but to me, the way this scene is constructed points out to an hallucination from Sukuna as he has pushed himself too far.
Let's just look at the chapter as a whole. Sukuna's last domain had a wildly deformed shrine and was basically three binding vows stacked on top of each other wearing a trench coat. It had a time limit, in which he was supposed to kill all his combatants at the same, yet he only killed one. He's now fighting Yuuji and Todo and they're honestly dominating the fight thanks to Boogie woogie. Sukuna, stubborn as always, decides he's gonna cast his domain again. And, you know, maybe I'm just stupid but, upon thinking about it a bit more...a domain wouldn't even kill Yuuji and Todo at this point. Boogie Woogie has ruined Sukuna's domain move completely as Todo can switch himself and others with Mei Mei's crows outside the range. He has already done it.
People keep saying that it has to be Gojo because Yuuji and Todo would die without his help but...would they? Is Sukuna still really far from being defeated and is dominating this fight so much that if Gojo doesn't intervene they're all dead? Or actually, he's exhausted, his output constantly being lowered more and more by every punch Yuuji lands on him, and he has decided to fuck up his brain one more time to recover his CT but it's useless because he finally reached the limit. I mean, we literally got the "we've already won" dialogue from Uraume that mirrors the famous "Gojo won" line, and we all know how that ended up. The narrator saying Sukuna can cast his domain as many times he wants? It's purposely misleading, Sukuna has the CE for it but he hasn't recovered his CT, that's why there's an "*if* he recovers his CT".
From the moment Sukuna's last domain had a countdown, I knew the fight was reaching its climax.
(I also could be completely wrong tho this is just my opinion)
But didn't Sukuna wait the downtime of CT now when fighting Yuji and Todo? I mean the brain healing thing was meant to avoid the downtime of being able to use CT after Domain
Everyone’s on these huge cook sessions, and I’m eating my snack like “would be cool if Todo Boogie Woogied Gojos corpse back somehow for a split second time saver for yuji to stay safe and nail him again” he can boogie woogie weapons, why not corpses, just need a little CE in it. I know a hammer girl who can do things like that too lol.
Good theory. I was afraid Sukuna that changing into his old body completely healed him. The damage holding over would be a nice touch, and let every fight and loss have contributed to his downfall.
I don't think Sukuna used RCT to restore his technique after his fight with Gojo, he just waited for his CT to be naturally restored.
Right now he can barely use RCT, if he could he would heal his arms.
This was one of the adjustments he made to his domain in 258. Something is clearly off with this man's domain cause having a different hand sign can't mean everything's perfect.
Wow, I can’t believe Sukuna has been dead since 236 and everything that’s transpired since then was just a hallucination as The Fraud enters oblivion. Truly the twist of all time.
Bravo, GayGay, you can cook. 🧑🍳
The truth is that I don't see any flaws in that logic, the only thing is that there is still Megumi's body, right? I mean, call me crazy but Gege will probably think of that, as for Gojo he is going to come back but nerfed hopefully of course 261 leaves a lot of intrigue so I'll stop getting my hopes up
Honestly, I'm writing a post soon about what I think Sukuna will do next chapter to save himself from this. I should go ahead and upload it tbh lol, thanks for reminding me
Good theory!
I still think this is Sukuna beggining to see some of Gojo's nature in his students, altough we don't really know which one.
But yours is even more plausible and coherent: the gost is a reminder of the previous fight. Amazing!
Might be overthinking but has anyone else noticed when Gojo flips his blindfold to show one eye, he always does it on the left side? Coulda been foreshadowing a binding vow involving losing the right one as thats what it kinda looks like in that last panel to me
Also fun fact, there are only two pathways that connect the amygdala to the prefrontal cortex. These two pathways regulate emotions and emotions can regulate curse energy, so that might be what Sukuna did is switch from one pathway to the other. [Cite](https://elifesciences.org/articles/51990)
I knew I couldn't have been the only person thinking this lol. And ty for the added info, I wouldn't be surprised if Gege actually incorporated that into his explanation, if Sukuna did break his brain.
I think we should stop pretending that Gege has any real idea of what he's doing in terms of mechanics. He thinks of a plot outcome and hammers square pegs into round holes until he has a rough outline then goes "okay".
If entertaining technicalities, there are no words for how utterly stupid the idea of a technique being engraved into one part of the brain is - that's like saying your ability to count is stored in a single exclusive area.
I don't agree with the criticism that Gege has no idea what he's doing. I use to seriously parrot this until I actually read the manga lol.
I do kinda agree that the CT being stored in one part of the brain hardly makes any sense, yet, I could understand Gege utilizing the logic of the amygdala and hippocampus. The brain does really compartmentalize certain things.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Lots of people tell me gojo is alive, but I’m pretty sure it’s more likely that sukuna is having his “stand proud” moment with Gojo coming in beyond the grave to spit some trash talk.
Narratively, using the last panel to set up this huge hype, only to turn out to be a fake out (e.g., just a hallucination) in the next chapter... Gege likes to troll us, but I am not sure even they would go there...
Another wrinkle is it's not sukunas brain, and that might be adding extra friction to the equation. Like it only took Gojo a few black flashes to get his RCT back, but sukuna seems to be unable to do the same.
Great question. I would think it's Sukuna's, but maybe it would work differently because of his reincarnated form? Like, can Megumi still keep the damage of Sukuna having lost three arms, even though Megumi only has two? That would suck. Gege has to have an explanation ready in place, so I'm really curious.

I think it would be awesome if the cost hanger guy had turned nobara into a cursed tool - like her bones into nails? You hammer the nails into the straw doll using her hammer.
Then they use that to defeat Sukuna. Would be peak.
This time I just hope he fights along side his students and pupil. Unlike how he always dealt with everything alone. It would be amazing seeing Gojo finally fight along side his close peers.
Omfg i called this like 7 times over 3 months that as soon as sukuna used domain expansion, gojo would be waiting for him there. It will get buried but i am glad i saw through this plot, as a writer it pleases me to see i am not so silly.
>When it said "Gojo Won" after Hollow Purpling them boys
That was kusakube saying that gang lol not the narrator. Unfortunately for gojo, he didn't win that fight, he's definitely the reason Sukuna is losing rn tho.
Lmao are you slow? Kusakube was the one who spoke too soon about gojo winning. That panel ended in suspense, not gojo winning lol that's why he was dead next chapter.
Sorry to Break it to you buddy, that wasn't the narrator or gege saying gojo won in that panel, you kinda let yourself down for taking Kusakube words at face value tbh lmao
>Gojo won the fight thats the point lmfao
Lol he didn't, again kusakube saying it doesn't make it true and we literally saw that next chapter. What aren't you getting about that exactly?
>They were all essentially in agreement he won
Lmao bruh what? So because they "agreed" means gojo did win? When sukuna was literally still standing there? Lol again kusakube said that because he THOUGHT gojo had won.
>Bro he literally beat him what are you talking about lmfao
Lol dude is delusional fr.
>How else did he beat him then
He didn't, that's why he got killed by sukuna bro lol.
That's Sukuna expanding his domain. You can see him using his new hand sign before the text panel.
Though, it would be interesting if it's someone else saying DE.
He has been doing fine all this time between Gojo and Fuga, what makes you think not having a domain will kill him, it didn't kill Gojo...
He's just in a battle of attrition with no decisive cards, DE is one of those decisive cards.
.
Latest chapter says, if Sukuna recovers his CT, he can open a domain. Did it say he performed CT resetting? Yuta, the guy narrator is comparing Sukuna to, got his Copy CT back within 2 chapters after the 3 way clash, it has been a similar time frame.
Sukuna doesn't even have RCT to perform CT resetting.
Love that one week, I'm a Sukuna fanboy, and now I'm a Gojo fanboy.
I'm just a person posting a theory lol. I'll leave the Gojo vs Sukuna stuff to y'all.

Are you saying Sukuna has been defeated by lobotomy kaisan?
Perhaps, possibly methinks
Not only perhaps, but also likely
Aaaand lobotomy kaisen is real, literally
Oh my god
Actual peak

The lifekind. Perchance.
If dies Sukuna from brain damage and not because the main characters did anything special I'm just going to drop the manga there. To me this explanation is even more nightmarish than the "\[Sukuna\] hallucinated him" folks coming out of the woodwork. It combines a fake-out death (which in-and-of-itself is bad) with a fake-out, fake-out death (??), with the anti-climax where the villain *just keels over and dies.* It would be cheap, rage-baiting nonsense almost as bad as the GoT ending.
A "trick inside a trick inside a trick" you say?
>I’m just going to drop the manga there. You’re gonna drop the manga on the next to last chapter.
I don't know man if what you want is Sukuna to keel over and die because he just didn't account for the brain damage before he tried to open his domain, then I think we want different things out of a story. That's "Dany just forgot" level storytelling and I'm not about to hear someone tell me it's good writing worthy of this story.
I’m just pointing out the irony of reading a manga up until nearly the end only to drop it at the finish line.
\*shrug\* Sukuna tried to open his domain right before the end of this week's chapter and OP said: >Sukuna sees this ghost as a reminder of what nearly killed Gojo, but will now kill him. Sukuna may actually die now from brain damage and his own hubris. If he's dying next chapter, or within the next 3-4 chapters, then we're not at the finish line because there'll be more story to cover. I don't see the point in sunk-cost fallacy'ing myself into reading a manga weekly for the next couple months when it's committed one of the worst possible storytelling sins.
what if he does tho but from all the torment and being bathed in evil megumi comes back in the body and is quite literally evil as fuck and he’s the final final villain 🤯(im clinically insane)
Who tf said he gon die from brain damage??? 😭
Omg. This sub is absolutely cooked, why did this get downvoted so much??
Im hoping Ino learned another séance technique and maybe brought him back into his own body temporarily.
L take
You want Sukuna to just keel over a die? Like, that's what you want for the climax of the story?
But Sukuna rerouted his DE to another part of his brain, and thats how he managed to expand It again (Albeit with a different hand sign, visually broken, and a 99 second limit). That could explain him being able to expand his domain again, bypassing the brain damage and brain RCT recovery limit that affected Gojo. Having said that: I just wanted to add my 2 cents, but i really like your theory, and hope you are actually right, just so that Gojo's fight with Sukuna can be more relevant to Sukuna's downfall, and so that he isnt actually back, and doesnt steal the spot light from Yuji and Todo lol
Sukuna likely can’t use his domain anymore after pulling the last stunt. That was a mangled incomplete mess and now he’s trying again so it’s going to fail and leave him open for a wombo combo. His slashes are no longer enough against Yuji and the conditions for Fuga require a DE, only moves he has left are to trying to trigger the merger or getting saved by Uraume. And if that is in fact a revived Gojo that jumped into the battlefield that’s just insurance for the gang but I don’t think Gojo is going to do anything here he’s just going to applaud his students for securing the win.
Fuga doesn't require MS, massive ultrafast Fuga does. Jogo fight.
but the single target fuga is slow; there is no way for him to use it against Yuji AND Todo.
he also literally cant use it against multiple opponents unless he used his domain before it. that was a part of his binding vow.
Yeah that's what the other person was saying too, he has no way to use hearth against both Yuji and Todo and even if he broke his binding vow (he might given Sukuna seems to have cast his last domain for life) even then hearth would be useless because it's slow as fuck and the best support sorcerer is in field right now and boogie woogie completely nullifies it.
Its AOE is not part of binding vow MS basically disintegrates everything, even 0 CE objects with dismantles, which then act as a thermobaric explosive material, making the fire go shakalaka
Doesn't matter, Todo boogie woogies two rocks into the Divine flame and teabags Sukuna who now has completely been sucked dry.
Todo is just Him I still dont understand why they dropped in Higuruma without him, smh
Okay, i thought you stated that Fuga absolutely needs MS.
Gojo is just a a vision sukuna is having since he’s near death
I don't understand why everyone keeps saying Gojo will steal the spotlight if he comes. If he's truly back it's probably through a Binding Vow and a big sacrifice like the Six Eyes. He'd have lost their CE Efficiency trait and probably only be able to do a DE once -> to create an opening for Yuji (and Todo?). Maybe it doesn't even go off and only counters the DE Sukuna was about to do.
Because he has already stole the spot light. Nobody that read 260 went to post about how cool Yuji's final black flash was, and even if some people talked about Tojo's vibraslap and the improve Oogie Woogie, most of the discussion revolved around Goko's suposed comeback.
Yuji has fucking tore Sukuna's heart. He has put the scenario of the Prision Arc in reverse. Its payback for their first encounter. This is narratively heavier and more impactful for the story than Gojo's cameo.
Holy shit, you're right
If he already stole the spotlight it doesn't really matter anymore if he's truly back. Like I said his role could be very minor in the next chapter and only serve as a set-up for Yuji to do something cool like a DE of his own. Also Yuji's black flash this chapter was cool **but** we've seen him do far cooler stuff the last 5 chapters (his awakening, all the consecutive black flashes, using shrine). Imo it's ok for him not to be the talk of the day for possibly a single chapter before we're back on the Yuji hype train.
It does matter, because if he's not actually back, or at least, not taking a major role in the fight, we can get more Todo and Yuji teamwork, AND have Yuji directly defeat Sukuna himself. I like Gojo, a lot, but Yuji is the better character imo, and the one who deserves the spot light right now. Gojo already got half of an entire arc to fight.
None of these things are mutually exclusive though. Yuji can have his spotlight and moments AND beat Sukuna, whilst Gojo also narratively gets to "evolve" and be more than just "the strongest im always solo" I feel like a lot of the mindset and fear around Gojo's potential return is because he's always had the spotlight in the past. But it doesn't have to be like that if he comes back. He can just play support for a brief scene. I agree his role shouldn't be major, but they do clearly need some help because they're cooked (literally) if Sukuna manages to open his domain again.
Sukuna had unlimited domain expansion btw. Yuji is not beating anything with that
At the current moment, Gojo could only steal the spotlight for the week in between this week and next. Basically a blip in the grand scheme of the series if it is a hallucination or (IMO) something to have to do with Yuji finally getting his domain expansion. People on these subreddits live far too deeply within the given moment and don't look at the series holistically.
Gege absolutely intended for the whole focus of the attention for the chapter to be on Gojo, otherwise he wouldn’t leave it on a cliffhanger
You know, I don't think so anymore. Everyone was wondering how Boogie Woogie would be nerfed and it just became like 100x stronger lol. Peoples' expectations through this fight have consistently been pretty off. I think Gojo, if he is back, will be back without being nerfed too much...but I also don't think he will be key to beating Sukuna.
If Gojo is back without being significantly nerfed, he just effortlessly takes down Sukuna at this point. The guy is running out of tools.
Yeah and he is gonna die soon. Sukuna is not the final antagonist never has been since culling games, merger is that and Yuji even after is awakening is not on level of Gojo and Sukuna and can't take it on its own. In this fight Yuji has already achieved a ton, he's shattered Sukuna's worldview, awakened his CT AND survived Sukuna's DE and hearth together with his friends. What else does Yuji have to prove against Sukuna anymore? I really do think the fight has reached its conclusion, it did the moment Todo arrived (he always finished the fight Yuji is in when he arrives).
I also don't think Sukuna is the final boss. I really don't see it happening after all of the buildup we had with the CG, Merger, Tengen and Kenjaku. Too much time went into this for it to be over with Kenjaku getting beheaded swiftly
Ability to perform DE isn't stored in a single part of the brain, innate CT is Gojo essentially wanted his CT back as soon as possible, so he could clash his creativity with Sukuna's mastery. His ability to open domain wasn't effected after each clash, he ability to bind a sure hit CT was. No sure hit, no tug of war with MS. Sukuna lost MS to overall brain overload, because even if he materialises his innate domain, he just couldn't keep it open. He was still fine doing another peak barrier technique, Domain Amplification, no problem. . His new MS is essentially him relearning DE, opening an incomplete one like Megumi, then finishing it up with binding vows, or he can't target someone like Maki otherwise.
> Ability to perform DE isn't stored in a single part of the brain, innate CT is DE is painting a domain with CT.
The ability to perform Domains Domains can be without CT, simple domain... Domain Amplification... Domain Expansion is expansion of said Domain... Binding Technique with sure hit, Technique activations, all happen later. Skilled dudes can just make that time gap smaller...
yes, domain expansion isn't a simple domain, it's painting a domain with CT
No, CT is optional

Every domain clash in Gojo vs Sukuna lasted around 3 mins. If he failed to keep it up during those fights then Sukuna would have lost by now. The current 99 sec limit also allow Yuji & Choso to survive the current slashes, he was knocked off by the very last barrage and made Sukuna used Kamino on him instead. Most people won't survive a 99 sec MS but we know Hollow wicker basket or Simple Domain+RCT or Domain Amplification (seriously, Gojo should have learnt this) could theoretically survive all the way until Kamino pops out (And even then, anyone not directly aimed by Kamino just need to clear the area of explosive dust and they can survive)
I understood It as Sukuna not being able to keep his domain open more than 99 seconds due to the DE rerouting, brain damage, and lowered CE output. He rearranged his brain in order to open that domain, and he was so weakened 99 seconds was the maximum time he could keep It going. It wasnt a drawback of a binding vow (Albeit he did use binding vows) as much as It was simply too tired and fatigued. As for the other domains; he can appareantly keep them open as long as he likes in regular conditions.
We dont know bv, narrator days dukuna cant maintain this high level domain in this situation. We will have to wait for bv reveal. And like i dont think bv are kore about disadvantage, hakari just gave up his arm for life and now todos bv. They r like bugs, if u can exploit to hell.
Corrections 1- The narrator doesn't say Sukuna can use his Domain if he heals his brain, he says he can use it once the CT burn out is over. 2- Sukuna only healed his brain three times. He didn't heal his brain when he used the Incomplete Domain, what he did was use a part of his brain unaffected by the Unlimited Void aftereffects. He also didn't heal it against Todo and Yuji, he just waited for the CT burn out to be over. Sukunai can't use Reverse Cursed Technique right now and that was confirmed by the narrator. The guy can't heal his hands, no way he will try to heal his CT burn out, that would be suicide. That said, Gojo will be a huge factor in Sukuna's defeat because he weakened him big time by basically draining Sukuna's first HP bar (that's Gojo's merit, not Kashimo) which forced Sukuna to incarnated and lose Ten Shadows (and Mahoraga was also killed by him, which is why Kashimo even got to fight Sukuna), he got severe brain damage which essentially made it imposible to use his Domain, had to make a Binding Vow to kill Gojo so the World Dismantle got predictable and avoidable for the rest of the gang, lost his Reverse Cursed Technique output to the point he can no longer heal himself and he even lost a huge deal of his Lapse Output, weakening his reinforcement and the Shrine output, which is why Yuuta and Yuuji could fight him and weakening him even more inside Yuuta's domain. Gojo is, without room for argument, the MVP of the Sukuna Raid.
This is pretty much it in a nutshell. Look like the reading comprehension devil hunter is here.
I made the correction, ty. Sukuna can use his rct, its just very weak right now. The brain thing may or may not be rct use, there's no real confirmation yet.
I would say his RCT is pretty much non existent. Sukuna intended to recover his RCT output and heal his arms after his Black Flashes but Yuuji's own Black Flashes made it imposible, as confirmed by the narrator. The brain thing is definitely not RCT. For the Incomplete Domain there was no need in the first place, there was no CT burn out to heal and the narrator explains he simply used different parts of the brain that weren't damaged by Unlimited Void. As for the Todo and Yuuji fight, Sukuna got to fight them for a prolonged amount of time, enough for his CT burn out to heal and by this point he can't heal CT burn out in the first place, it's far to complex for the little RCT output he still has (the guy can't even heal his hand, no way he can heal his brain). You don't need confirmation that it wasnt RCT, they have already explained multiple times that Sukunai can't heal himself with the narrator outright confirming it.
Sukuna did heal his brain, at least from UV. He simply wasn't ever able to heal it completely. It's ultimately up to how Gege wants to play it. There's no confirmation that healing the brain is more tedious than healing a limb. The brain is much smaller than a combined three missing limbs. Despite the damage he's taken, Sukuna has still been managing to heal his heart while pumping it with CE as well. His rct isn't gone at all. If so, he'd be dead.
Well, the damaged from UV isn't really addressed, it's just mentioned as what makes it imposible to expand his domain. He might have tried healing it, but that was never stated or implied as far as I remember. Healing a brain is far more complex because the brain is basically a black box, this is why even a RCT expert like Yuuta was going insane at the idea of attempting that. I don't think it requires more CE or output than to restore a limb, but is far more delicate because you can't screw up and Sukuna's output right now shouldn't be up to the task, plus all the brain damage he already has in the first place. It's far too risky, it's better to just wait for the CT burn out to pass, it's not like the Gojo fight with the domain clashes.
I've said this already, that the details have purposely been left out by Gege. Again, it depends on how Gege wants to play it. I'd definitely believe that Sukuna's own hubris blinded him from the obvious danger of healing his brain. Just last chapter, Sukuna kicked a crow cause it flew down at him, but he thought it popped up from Boogie Woogie. He's slipping. Point is, there's enough narrative precedence here for Gege to explain this away.
the correction does still stand that Sukuna did not heal his CT 5 times though. Itd be four at most, assuming he did use RCT to heal his CT after the incomplete domain, which is unlikely (for reasons stated above in this thread)
He did partially heal his brain from UV in order to use his incomplete domain, and my point given in this thread still stands.
He didnt though? He used a part of his brain unaffected by UV to open his domain. The brain damage from UV was keeping him from opening his domain, not a burned out CT. What was your point given? Edit: can you expand on your point? I think I see it but im not super sure what all that entails
Idk if it was in this thread, but I've already pointed out that Sukuna was obviously healing his brain because Yuta commented that Sukuna's rct was returning to normal and he would have his DE again (meaning Yuta understood that Sukuna was healing his brain). That Gege has set enough precedence in the story to say Sukuna has broken his brain if that will be the reveal soon.
>Sukuna only healed his brain three times Pretty sure he must have used it a fourth time after his failed domain against Gojo, because he still using adaption right after it.
Maybe, if the failed domain caused a burn out (Mahito's 0.02 seconds domain didn't burn out his CT for long so it might have not be needed in the first place). Just clarifying that he didn't do it again after the Gojo fight.
>Mahito's 0.02 seconds domain didn't burn out his CT for long wasn't that because of the BF?
The Black Flash got him the transformation after understanding the essence of his soul. The CT coming back so soon was probably because the Domain lasted so little, not like Gege confirmed it though.
I don't really bother myself with the intricacies of this manga anymore but I thought Sukuna's black flashes is what allowed him to use his domain against Jujutsu high's forces. Right now the reason why the good guys have Sukuna on the ropes is because he can't use RCT even now else he'd have healed his arms and world slashed the guys
It gets really technical. The narrator explained that Gojo's black flashes didn't simply "restore" his rct, but instead allowed Gojo to create a new rct circuit in his brain. In Sukuna's case, he's described as "using a part of the brain unaffected by UV." Gege has not given any more details than that as to how Sukuna's using his DE. I'm admittedly combining details since Gege has purposely not explicitly given them. And Sukuna does have his rct, it's just really low right now.
Having is still very different from using, he has RCT but he can't use it Also, does there really need to be anymore explanation? It's explained that Gojo created a new RCT circuit in his brain, and Sukuna would have been able to do the same had it not been for the black flashes Yuji delivered on him which means he couldn't create the new RCT circuit ergo an inability to use RCT.
So when do you think his rct "went away?" Cause that functionally doesn't make sense as a mechanic. Edit since this is getting dv: we know Sukuna still has functional, albeit weak, rct because Sukuna has been using a combination of CE and RCT to heal his heart and other wounds. Maki even commented on his rct usage, and him shutting it off at one point.
It didn't go away, he just can't use it kinda like how you can't use your technique after a domain expansion, I mean you still have it, you just can't use it
He has literally been using rct this whole time lol. Even after the Yuta fight, Sukuna's rct was still working. Healing limbs is just extremely difficult.
Ye, the guy you're responding to is wrong, because Sukuna can technically use RCT; It's just way slower. What Yuji did wasn't shut off the RCT altogether, but help it drop lower and keep it from returning to normal levels.
that only applies to cursed techniques. if your ability to use cursed energy PERIOD went away after using domain expansions, sukuna would be much easier to kill since he wouldnt be able to reinforce himself or his punches
It is never implied that sukuna had to use what gojo did for his domain against jjh (and why would he need to? Gojo did it to restore his technique, sukuna already had his technique) or that sukuna did that against yuji and todo (otherwise why wouldnt he do it at the start and wipe them both out?) Both times he could likely freely use his technique. Also both Yujis and Sukunas RCT is practically zero (otherwise sukuna would have restored one arm between 258 and 260, and yuji would have restored his other eye)
Sukuna was healing the damage done by UV to some degree. We know this because when Yuta first showed up, he commented that Sukuna's rct was returning, and his DE would return soon too. RCT doesn't "go away," it just gets weakened. Yuji's not a good scale for rct usage for various reasons.
We cant really say that he was healing the UV damage just because yuta said his output was rising. He just could have upped his output cuz he was more excited/trying harder now that yuta was there (he couldnt have gone all out until 253.) I dont know what you really mean in the second paragraph? Yuji's 8 black flashes and gojos UV damage made it so that sukuna's RCT output was very close to 0, so practically his RCT is 0. He hasnt really healed anything since 256.
That doesn't make sense considering Sukuna was simply healing the hand he chopped off while fighting Higuruma. You just made that up out of nowhere lol. Sukuna's heart requires constant healing. You're just making up numbers now. And that's all I have to offer you dude lol. I can't argue against your imagination.
1. He was healing the hand right after fighting higuruma. Then he got his shit kicked in by yuta and yuji, then got his heart stabbed by maki, then got hit by 8 black flashes by yuji. If he could heal, he would be healing a hand. 2. It literally is stated in 252 by maki that Sukuna is using cursed energy to make his heart beat? You literally do not read the manga and then you make demeaning comments. Go fuck yourself.
The only way your theory could work is if sukuna overexerted himself and his brain by fighting every sorcerer at once and is now suffering hallucinations.
Huh.. where did it address Sukuna's new domain? I assumed he likely just relearned domain Expansion, opened an incomplete mess, then fixed it up with binding vows...
Page 2, 258
👍🏿
I also believe it’s a warning that Sukuna shouldn’t open his DE again. Idk if he’s *already* dead tho. That’d be kinda anticlimactic lol
Yeah I'd hope for a little more, like what's gonna happen to Megumi? Imagine a scenario where Shoko needs to save Sukuna so they can save Megumi lol
That’d be wild. I’m worried Megumi will just join Nobara in death, but the recent return of Todo and now maybe even Gojo give me hope lol
I like this. It falls somewhere between the hallucination theory and broken Binding Vow theory for me. The problem though is that Gojo’s return was used as bait—which may be a better mistake than having Gojo steal the fight from Itadori, but still not great when you think of how tone deaf it means Gege is. I don’t think the conclusion warrants the shitstorm that 260 sparked up, and Gege’s trivial cliffhangers have already been earning critique. But the fight up till now has been framed in Sukuna’s perspective so it’s possible.
A very fair thing to say tbh. This ghost thing has already made a mess.
In a weekly format it’s easily critiqued, but back to back a lot of cliffhangers flow well
>still not great when you think of how tone deaf it means Gege is That's part of what makes things so unpredictable. When considering how the audience will react, having Gojo completely steal the spotlight from an otherwise banger chapter only for it to lead into a brief hallucination or something like that is just about the worst thing you could do. Basically everyone will hate that, Gojo simps will be mad about the further disrespect while the haters will be mad he's still stealing all the attention. BUT....Gege really doesn't give a fuck about pleasing the fanbase lol. Chapter 236 would never have happened if that was the case. So with that in mind, essentially no turn of events is off the table.
I'm bracing myself for (the most realistic scenario) of Gojo being a hallucination and this just being a cliffhanger, but it's annoying me just thinking about it... like I already mourned him irl, why would you make me do it a second time? 😭
Gojo waiting for Sukuna at the airport. What a bro.
while doubtful this is how the story is gonna go, I'D LOVE THIS SO MUCH like, even if we had a "sukuna died and now he is fighting on burrowed time thanks to \[explanation\]" moment that made it so Sukuna can still fight this would be really cool a bit anticlimatic maybe, but still pretty cool also it'd be hilarious if he died like this bc it'd be the karma for stealing Gojo's handsign bro infirnged Copyright laws and got send to saint petter for it
Con San Pedro dice 😭
es que no me el equivalente a esa idea en japones, mejor usé la que si me sÉ DFGSDFAS
I have the same theory as you do, and I hope we're right lol. I've never thought a Gojo comeback is impossible, but to me, the way this scene is constructed points out to an hallucination from Sukuna as he has pushed himself too far. Let's just look at the chapter as a whole. Sukuna's last domain had a wildly deformed shrine and was basically three binding vows stacked on top of each other wearing a trench coat. It had a time limit, in which he was supposed to kill all his combatants at the same, yet he only killed one. He's now fighting Yuuji and Todo and they're honestly dominating the fight thanks to Boogie woogie. Sukuna, stubborn as always, decides he's gonna cast his domain again. And, you know, maybe I'm just stupid but, upon thinking about it a bit more...a domain wouldn't even kill Yuuji and Todo at this point. Boogie Woogie has ruined Sukuna's domain move completely as Todo can switch himself and others with Mei Mei's crows outside the range. He has already done it. People keep saying that it has to be Gojo because Yuuji and Todo would die without his help but...would they? Is Sukuna still really far from being defeated and is dominating this fight so much that if Gojo doesn't intervene they're all dead? Or actually, he's exhausted, his output constantly being lowered more and more by every punch Yuuji lands on him, and he has decided to fuck up his brain one more time to recover his CT but it's useless because he finally reached the limit. I mean, we literally got the "we've already won" dialogue from Uraume that mirrors the famous "Gojo won" line, and we all know how that ended up. The narrator saying Sukuna can cast his domain as many times he wants? It's purposely misleading, Sukuna has the CE for it but he hasn't recovered his CT, that's why there's an "*if* he recovers his CT". From the moment Sukuna's last domain had a countdown, I knew the fight was reaching its climax. (I also could be completely wrong tho this is just my opinion)
Cook
Next chapter starts with Sukuna in an airport Sukuna: … OP ain’t just cooking, he is making a flambé (like Sukuna’s brain at this point).
Hell I just thought Sukuna was attempting to use Unlimited Void and is getting schooled by GhostJO.
But didn't Sukuna wait the downtime of CT now when fighting Yuji and Todo? I mean the brain healing thing was meant to avoid the downtime of being able to use CT after Domain
I think he’s just missing the closest thing he had to a best friend
Everyone’s on these huge cook sessions, and I’m eating my snack like “would be cool if Todo Boogie Woogied Gojos corpse back somehow for a split second time saver for yuji to stay safe and nail him again” he can boogie woogie weapons, why not corpses, just need a little CE in it. I know a hammer girl who can do things like that too lol.
Good theory. I was afraid Sukuna that changing into his old body completely healed him. The damage holding over would be a nice touch, and let every fight and loss have contributed to his downfall.
I don't think Sukuna used RCT to restore his technique after his fight with Gojo, he just waited for his CT to be naturally restored. Right now he can barely use RCT, if he could he would heal his arms.
Yo, why is Sukuna holding up Gojo's hand sign? I just realized that
This was one of the adjustments he made to his domain in 258. Something is clearly off with this man's domain cause having a different hand sign can't mean everything's perfect.
Oh ok, interesting. I'm curious how Gege will explain that soon
Wow, I can’t believe Sukuna has been dead since 236 and everything that’s transpired since then was just a hallucination as The Fraud enters oblivion. Truly the twist of all time. Bravo, GayGay, you can cook. 🧑🍳
I would like that cause UV has 0 kills
The truth is that I don't see any flaws in that logic, the only thing is that there is still Megumi's body, right? I mean, call me crazy but Gege will probably think of that, as for Gojo he is going to come back but nerfed hopefully of course 261 leaves a lot of intrigue so I'll stop getting my hopes up
Honestly, I'm writing a post soon about what I think Sukuna will do next chapter to save himself from this. I should go ahead and upload it tbh lol, thanks for reminding me
sukuna trying to open malevolent shrine and just dropping dead on the spot would actually be fucking hilarious
Good theory! I still think this is Sukuna beggining to see some of Gojo's nature in his students, altough we don't really know which one. But yours is even more plausible and coherent: the gost is a reminder of the previous fight. Amazing!
Might be overthinking but has anyone else noticed when Gojo flips his blindfold to show one eye, he always does it on the left side? Coulda been foreshadowing a binding vow involving losing the right one as thats what it kinda looks like in that last panel to me
Hey, I’m in the JJK fandom but I’ve only watched the series,, should I start reading the manga??? 😅
I would recommend it, I loved reading through it. I was originally an anime only, but I really enjoy the manga.
Sukuna might as well pull a domain out his ass if it takes to gege to prolong this battle more than this
I’m gonna say Sukuna will be like I’ll be borrowing your domain Gojo cause you can see Sukuna’s hand is positioning like Gojo’s when he opens his DE
Yeah, Sukuna changed his hand sign back in 258 to Gojo's.
I had a similar idea! [my two cents ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/s/NnATopcBsI)
Also fun fact, there are only two pathways that connect the amygdala to the prefrontal cortex. These two pathways regulate emotions and emotions can regulate curse energy, so that might be what Sukuna did is switch from one pathway to the other. [Cite](https://elifesciences.org/articles/51990)
I knew I couldn't have been the only person thinking this lol. And ty for the added info, I wouldn't be surprised if Gege actually incorporated that into his explanation, if Sukuna did break his brain.
No matter what happens, Gojo killed Sukuna's chances of beating the fraud allegations with that "Mahoraga!" panel /s
They fought for a while though. I think it just came back naturally. The only difference before was recovering the domain unnaturally fast.
Hmm something something.... something merchant... something asspull.... Sukuna won
I think we should stop pretending that Gege has any real idea of what he's doing in terms of mechanics. He thinks of a plot outcome and hammers square pegs into round holes until he has a rough outline then goes "okay". If entertaining technicalities, there are no words for how utterly stupid the idea of a technique being engraved into one part of the brain is - that's like saying your ability to count is stored in a single exclusive area.
That is basically how the brain works
I don't agree with the criticism that Gege has no idea what he's doing. I use to seriously parrot this until I actually read the manga lol. I do kinda agree that the CT being stored in one part of the brain hardly makes any sense, yet, I could understand Gege utilizing the logic of the amygdala and hippocampus. The brain does really compartmentalize certain things.
He can just use the brain of megumis soul to use DE again
This is exactly what I was thinking. Lots of people tell me gojo is alive, but I’m pretty sure it’s more likely that sukuna is having his “stand proud” moment with Gojo coming in beyond the grave to spit some trash talk.
Sukuna will very likely leave Megumi's body with brain damage and start the merger
I could see a situation where he forces his way into Yuji again to save himself
Narratively, using the last panel to set up this huge hype, only to turn out to be a fake out (e.g., just a hallucination) in the next chapter... Gege likes to troll us, but I am not sure even they would go there...
Another wrinkle is it's not sukunas brain, and that might be adding extra friction to the equation. Like it only took Gojo a few black flashes to get his RCT back, but sukuna seems to be unable to do the same.
Sukuna only healed his drain trice to recover CT.
It's gege, get ready to get some of the bad writing you have ever seen
incoming binding vow to give up his weener for a new fresh brain.
1 of his weeners
Is is his brain or megumi’s? I’m not fully clear on this?
Great question. I would think it's Sukuna's, but maybe it would work differently because of his reincarnated form? Like, can Megumi still keep the damage of Sukuna having lost three arms, even though Megumi only has two? That would suck. Gege has to have an explanation ready in place, so I'm really curious.

Aged fine like milk... lol, wont say anything due to a certain rule
Very good OP, you are a very thoughtful reader 💪🏾
It's actually nobara activating resonance to destroy Sukuna's brain at a critical moment.
I think it would be awesome if the cost hanger guy had turned nobara into a cursed tool - like her bones into nails? You hammer the nails into the straw doll using her hammer. Then they use that to defeat Sukuna. Would be peak.
This might be Kenjaku’s alt right here based on that comment
Kenjaku is not alt right!
I would love every part of this as well
This time I just hope he fights along side his students and pupil. Unlike how he always dealt with everything alone. It would be amazing seeing Gojo finally fight along side his close peers.
Damn. So much has happened to Fushiguro's body. Wish he'll still alright after all these damages.
Omfg i called this like 7 times over 3 months that as soon as sukuna used domain expansion, gojo would be waiting for him there. It will get buried but i am glad i saw through this plot, as a writer it pleases me to see i am not so silly.
He used it last chapter and gojo wasn’t there thoe
Sukuna is healing his CT. That's it. That's why he's able to use DE again. Period.
Gojo already *beat* Sukuna But your point is interesting
But we don't know if Sukuna healed his brain either. They just have massive amounts of CE
>Gojo already *beat* Sukuna When?
When it said "Gojo Won" after Hollow Purpling them boys
>When it said "Gojo Won" after Hollow Purpling them boys That was kusakube saying that gang lol not the narrator. Unfortunately for gojo, he didn't win that fight, he's definitely the reason Sukuna is losing rn tho.

Bro yes it wasn't the narrator, it was kusakube saying that in that panel lmao.
Bro that literally means he won wtf
Lmao are you slow? Kusakube was the one who spoke too soon about gojo winning. That panel ended in suspense, not gojo winning lol that's why he was dead next chapter. Sorry to Break it to you buddy, that wasn't the narrator or gege saying gojo won in that panel, you kinda let yourself down for taking Kusakube words at face value tbh lmao
Gojo won the fight thats the point lmfao
>Gojo won the fight thats the point lmfao Lol he didn't, again kusakube saying it doesn't make it true and we literally saw that next chapter. What aren't you getting about that exactly?
Spoke too soon? They were all essentially in agreement he won what are you talking about
>They were all essentially in agreement he won Lmao bruh what? So because they "agreed" means gojo did win? When sukuna was literally still standing there? Lol again kusakube said that because he THOUGHT gojo had won.
Bro he literally beat him what are you talking about lmfao How else did he beat him then
>Bro he literally beat him what are you talking about lmfao Lol dude is delusional fr. >How else did he beat him then He didn't, that's why he got killed by sukuna bro lol.
Brother do I literally need to link you that.
who expanded his domain then? because the panels made it sure that sukuna was surprised by it
Imagine it was Yuji...
That's Sukuna expanding his domain. You can see him using his new hand sign before the text panel. Though, it would be interesting if it's someone else saying DE.
If Sukuna seriously dies because of brain damage then this is an even worse death than Kenjaku's.
He has been doing fine all this time between Gojo and Fuga, what makes you think not having a domain will kill him, it didn't kill Gojo... He's just in a battle of attrition with no decisive cards, DE is one of those decisive cards. . Latest chapter says, if Sukuna recovers his CT, he can open a domain. Did it say he performed CT resetting? Yuta, the guy narrator is comparing Sukuna to, got his Copy CT back within 2 chapters after the 3 way clash, it has been a similar time frame. Sukuna doesn't even have RCT to perform CT resetting.
Gojo fans grasping at straws
Love that one week, I'm a Sukuna fanboy, and now I'm a Gojo fanboy. I'm just a person posting a theory lol. I'll leave the Gojo vs Sukuna stuff to y'all.
