Chapter 253 left us on a major cliffhanger: Maki’s down for the count, and Kusakabe is the last sorcerer standing against Sukuna at his absolute peak. Kusakabe’s got a reputation, sure, but let’s be real, this is a seriously unfair matchup. So the question remains: is this his final stand?
Here’s the thing: while the odds are stacked against Kusakabe, Jujutsu Kaisen loves throwing us curveballs.
Secret Weapon?
We haven’t seen Kusakabe’s full arsenal. He’s a master of barrier techniques and rocks a powerful Simple Domain. Could he pull off something unexpected that might rattle Sukuna, even for a moment?
Buying Time
Kusakabe might not be able to defeat Sukuna, but what if his main goal is simply to survive? If he can hold out just long enough, there’s a chance for Yuta and Yuji to arrive or for Sukuna to get distracted.
Kusakabe The Last One Standing
Kusakabe’s mostly been used for explaining stuff in the past. His sudden shift to being on the frontlines is interesting – it could mean the author, Gege Akutami, is ready to give him a big, sacrificial moment before taking him out of the picture.
Unfortunately, Kusakabe’s chances look slim. Sukuna just landed a devastating Black Flash. When he’s in that state, he’s almost untouchable. Kusakabe might get in a few good hits out of desperation, but it’s hard to see him surviving long.
Yuji and Maki to the Rescue?
Last we saw, Yuji was healing up. It’s POSSIBLE he senses the crazy amount of danger and rushes back into the fray in Chapter 254. If he arrives in the nick of time, the tides could shift!
Maki’s not one to take defeat lying down. If there’s even a shred of a chance she can recover quickly, expect her to drag herself back into the fight. Remember, both she and Yuji have the potential to damage Sukuna’s soul – the key to saving Megumi.
What To Expect From JJK 254?
Jujutsu Kaisen thrives on shocking moments and emotional gut-punches. I’d bet Chapter 254 will include some combination of these:
- Kusakabe’s heroic last stand with a surprise technique.
- Sukuna effortlessly swats Kusakabe away, showing just how terrifying his power level is.
- Yuji’s dramatic re-entrance sets up a new stage for the fight!
Final Words
Kusakabe’s fate feels uncertain, but one thing’s for sure: Chapter 254 is going to be a wild ride. Get ready for heartbreak, hype, and the brutal beauty that makes Jujutsu Kaisen so gripping.
