Jujutsu Kaisen: Yuji's Last Power-Up from Family? (SPOILERS ALERT)
In the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen manga Chapter 248, set to release on January 21, 2024, fans are on the edge of their seats as the story enters its final arc. The recent chapters have been particularly shocking, with major character deaths, including Gojo and Kashimo. Currently, the focus is on the intense battle between sorcerers and Sukuna.
One notable absence causing concern among fans is Choso, a beloved character who was impaled by Sukuna earlier in the fight. With the manga's final arc underway, readers are now preparing for the potential realization of Choso's fate.
Some fans are speculating that Choso's fate may be a tragic one, based on multiple Jump Festa illustrations by Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen. These artworks, released during Jump Festa 2023, have historically hinted at dark turns in characters' destinies. Notably, a similar pattern was observed with Nobara's illustrations preceding her tragic demise in the manga.
The prevailing theory suggests that Choso's potential death may serve as a catalyst for Yuji's final evolution. Chapter 247 hinted at the possible death of Higuruma, who passed a sword to Yuji. The next chapter might see Yuji using this sword against Sukuna, setting the stage for a brutal confrontation.
The theory takes an unexpected turn with the possibility of Choso intervening to save his brother during the battle against Sukuna. This rescue could motivate Yuji to continue the fight, turning the confrontation into a joint effort between the two brothers.
However, the theory proposes that Sukuna may prove resilient, prompting Choso to use a binding vow to enhance the impact of his poisonous blood. In a sacrificial move, Choso might unleash a final attack, infusing his blood into Sukuna in a blood-infused explosion.
The aftermath of this sacrifice could catch Sukuna off guard, severely weakening him. Simultaneously, Choso's sacrifice could empower Yuji, imbuing him with enhanced abilities and access to Choso's techniques. This emotional and impactful moment aligns with Gege's established patterns and adds depth to Choso's character arc.
As Jujutsu Kaisen manga approaches its conclusion, readers can expect an immersive continuation with the confirmed Season 3, set to adapt the Culling Games arc and expected to be released in 2025. With Chapter 248 just around the corner, the fate of Choso and the unfolding events in the battle against Sukuna promise a gripping and emotional narrative for fans to explore
