Sukuna’s Comeback (And Just How Bad Is It?)
Okay, Chapter 255 left us with a sliver of hope. Sukuna was battered, missing an arm, and had trouble healing himself. But things change fast in this manga, and that Black Flash at the end? Yeah, that means trouble.
Sukuna’s Power-Ups
Remember how Gojo got his reverse-cursed technique back after multiple Black Flashes? Sukuna might be on the same track. If so, that means healing, insane strength, the ability to regenerate limbs, the whole nine yards. Basically, Sukuna at full power is a nigh-unstoppable monster, and the idea of him getting close to that again is enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.
Sukuna has yet to use his Domain Expansion
It’s also possible he won’t get his Reverse Cursed Technique back, but instead gains something else, like his Domain. That’s potentially even worse for our heroes, since his Domain is a nightmare landscape where he can control everything. Imagine a twisted world where Sukuna can warp reality itself to his will, and you get a glimpse of the horrors a fully-realized Domain could unleash.
Sukuna’s Domain Expasion: Malevolent Shrine
Miguel’s in the Hot Seat
The poor guy thought he had a chance against a weakened Sukuna. Chapter 256 could be a brutal reality check.
Miguel was holding his own, but if Sukuna gets even a fraction of his power back, it’s game over. Sukuna is on a completely different level when he’s at his best. We saw this with Gojo – even the strongest sorcerer alive needed a specific strategy and a ton of luck to take Sukuna down for a bit. Miguel is brave and skilled, but he’s not Gojo.
Miguel’s Determination
There’s something compelling about him refusing to back down even in the face of despair. Could this be where he pushes his power to new limits?
Maybe he’ll unlock a hidden ability, or find a way to use his technique in a way no one expected. One thing’s for sure – Miguel isn’t going down without a fight.
Even if he knows he can’t win, he might buy some time for his allies or make Sukuna use up some cursed energy. His bravery, even if it seems reckless, could be a turning point in the battle.
Yuji and Maki’s Big Re-Entrance
Just when things looked their bleakest, our favorite sorcerer duo comes in swinging! Both Yuji and Maki can dish out soul damage, which Sukuna can’t easily heal from. They’re vital for weakening him, chipping away at his monstrous power bit by bit.
Even if they can’t take him down in one fell swoop, they can wear him down and create openings for others to exploit.
Their presence might even force Sukuna to switch tactics and focus on them, taking the pressure off Miguel and allowing him to regroup.
Their arrival is a much-needed shot of hope in this grim situation. It injects a renewed sense of determination into the fight, reminding everyone that they’re not alone.
Seeing their friends fight so valiantly could be the spark that ignites a new strategy or inspires another fighter to step up to the challenge. In the face of overwhelming odds, even a sliver of hope can make all the difference.
What I’m Dying to Know
Chapter 256 could go in so many directions, and that’s what makes it so thrilling.
- Will Sukuna Reach Full Power? And if he does, how quickly? This dictates everything – casualties, retreats, and just how desperate things become.
- Will Miguel Survive? I love his reckless bravery, but I also don’t want to see him die! It’s a gut-wrenching balance to watch.
- The Gojo Factor: Even dead, Gojo’s in this fight. His analysis of Miguel’s strength is weirdly relevant, and makes you wonder if there’s some hidden plan we haven’t seen yet.
Final Words
Jujutsu Kaisen always pulls the rug out from under us, and this chapter feels like it’s building to another one of those crazy turning points. It’s going to be a wild ride!
What do you guys think is going to happen? Are you excited, terrified, or some crazy mixture of both?
