Jujutsu Kaisen is a manga full of mysteries, with colossal stakes for its heroes. One of the biggest is about to be revealed in chapter 257, which has already leaked.
Gege Akutami has been fascinating us for six years now with its Exorcist clashes. Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s THE manga phenomenon of recent years. Offering a gallery of characters as charismatic as they are deep, it has the luxury of offering us vivid supernatural battles under the pencil of its author.
But the story of the high school student Yuji Itadori seems to be slowly heading towards its end, according to Akutami. Fortunately, fans can enjoy the anime, which will soon return for a third season, as the chapters follow one another. The next one showed up earlier than expected on the web, and it promises to be very heavy…
What does Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 257 say?
For once, the sequel to the manga Jujutsu Kaisen was leaked before its pre-publication in the prestigious Weekly Shōnen Jump. I might as well tell you, there is some very heavy stuff waiting for you in chapter 257!
The manga follows young Yuji Itadori, a member of his high school’s esotericism club, whose life is turned upside down when he discovers the existence of terrible demons called plagues and finds himself hit with a curse. He is then taken in charge by Jujutsu Sorcery, where experienced sorcerers train him so that he can master his occult abilities and fight against the evil that threatens the order of the world.
The last chapter marked a turning point for Yuji. Facing Sukunathe powerful king of plagues, he discovered an even greater force, finally proceeding to his awakening. High-level battles are then expected, starting in chapter 257.
The confrontation continues with force between the two adversaries. Young Yuji single-handedly puts his enemy in difficulty. This seemed unthinkable just a few chapters ago. In fact, the Exorcist manages to anticipate Sukuna’s blows and return them with a violence tenfold.
But, more than the fight, a revelation of magnitude occurs. Sukuna finally confesses the bond that unites him to Yuji: the latter’s father would in reality be the reincarnation of the twin brother of the king of plagues. 800 years ago, the two men shared the same womb, until Sukuna “eat” his twin to survive. But Kenjaku then saved the sad twin’s soul, allowing him to return. Without this decision Yuji would never have seen the light of day.
It remains to be seen how Yuji’s father returned. The rest of the confrontation will obviously be there in chapter 258. The mystery is gradually unraveling… But Jujutsu Kaisen still has a lot in store.
