Jujutsu Kaisen: The highly anticipated Chapter 268 of Jujutsu Kaisen, aptly titled ‘CONCLUSION,’ brings the intense battle between Yuji Itadori and Ryomen Sukuna to a dramatic end. The chapter opens with Sukuna attempting to crush Megumi’s spirit, questioning his will to live after all the tragedies he’s faced. However, Megumi stands firm, realizing that Sukuna fears death due to the vulnerability of his last remaining finger.
Megumi’s Liberation
In a stunning turn of events, Yuji’s domain crumbles, and Sukuna’s reincarnation within Megumi’s body is undone. The King of Curses is painfully peeled away from Megumi, finally freeing the young sorcerer from his clutches. This moment marks a significant victory for our heroes and a major defeat for Sukuna.
Yuji’s Compassion and Sukuna’s Defiance
In an unexpected twist, Yuji offers Sukuna a chance at redemption. He draws parallels between their cursed existences and proposes that they try to live together. This compassionate gesture enrages Sukuna, who reminds Yuji of his true nature as a curse, refusing to be underestimated or pitied.
The Fall of Uraume
Meanwhile, the battle between Uraume and Hakari concludes. Uraume, realizing Sukuna’s defeat, acknowledges that their cause is lost. They attribute the Jujutsu Sorcerers’ victory to the fortune of being born in a later era, a notion that Hakari accepts as high praise before Uraume crumbles away.
A Bittersweet Reunion
The scene shifts to Jujutsu Tech, where Megumi awakens to find Yuji and Nobara attempting to surprise him with news of Kugisaki’s survival. The trio’s reunion is a mix of emotions, with subtle reactions to recent events and shared experiences during their time apart.
Gojo’s Final Messages
Yuji presents letters from the late Satoru Gojo, delivered by Shoko Ieiri. These letters contain personal messages for Nobara and Megumi. Nobara’s letter reveals information about her mother’s whereabouts, which she promptly dismisses. Megumi’s letter, however, contains a shocking revelation about his father’s fate at Gojo’s hands, eliciting an unexpected burst of laughter from Megumi.
Unresolved Matters and New Concerns
As the friends prepare to meet with Maki and others, they discuss the need to thank and apologize to various people, particularly concerning Yuta Okkotsu. The chapter ends on a cliffhanger with someone yelling about Yuta, hinting at new challenges or revelations to come.
A Break and What’s Next
The chapter concludes with the announcement of a break in the manga’s publication schedule for the following week. This pause builds anticipation for the next installment, leaving readers to speculate about the consequences of recent events and the future direction of the story.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 268 serves as a pivotal moment in the series, wrapping up major conflicts while setting the stage for new developments. The defeat of Sukuna, Megumi’s liberation, and the emotional reunions and revelations among the characters provide a satisfying conclusion to this arc. However, the mysterious outburst regarding Yuta at the chapter’s end suggests that new challenges await our heroes. As the series takes a brief hiatus, fans are left eagerly anticipating the next chapter and the new directions it might take in the world of Jujutsu sorcery.
