What to expect next? SPOILERS

According to the spoilers on Reddit, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249 kicks off with Okkotsu Yuta having a flashback to the moment he beheaded Kenjaku, which unleashes chaos among cursed spirits. The battle takes an unexpected turn as Kenjaku, despite seemingly defeated, implements a backup plan involving Fushiguro Megumi gaining the authority to activate the merger between humanity and Tengen. The chapter introduces Tengen in the form of an embryo sent to Sukuna by Kenjaku.

Amidst this chaos, Yuta blames himself for arriving late to the battlefield as he realizes Sukuna's Reversed Cursed Technique output is returning to normal. He infers that Sukuna’s Domain Expansion use was imminent.

As Yuta engages Sukuna, a sequence of attacks unfolds. Yuta uses his Sure-Hit ability and deploys his Domain, named True & Mutual Love. Sukuna defends himself using the cursed technique Hollow Wicker Basket, setting the stage for a thrilling clash. Yuta surprises Sukuna by employing the Thin Ice Breaker, a technique he copied from Takako Uro. This unexpected move injures Sukuna's face, but the King of Curses recognizes Yuta from Megumi's memories.

Yuta's strategic play involves continuous attacks using unlimited copies of various Cursed Techniques within his Domain, posing a unique challenge to Sukuna. Meanwhile, it’s revealed that Itadori Yuji is also within Yuta’s Domain and that he is tasked with dealing the finishing blow, by capturing Sukuna's soul and separating him from Megumi's body.

Chapter 248 recap

To fully grasp the context of Chapter 249, a recap of Chapter 248 is essential. Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248 witnessed Yuji's valiant but unsuccessful attempt to strike Sukuna with the Executioner's Sword. Higuruma's sacrifice seemed in vain as the sword disintegrated. Sukuna acknowledged Yuji's indomitable will and hinted at the potential return of characters who may have met their end. Sukuna, irritated yet intrigued by Yuji's persistence, accepts Kenjaku's failsafe which grants him authority over the great merger.

The chapter explores Yuji's internal struggles and character development, challenging his belief in overcoming Sukuna. The chapter ended with Okkotsu Yuta entering the scene of the battle, and Orimoto Rika, the Queen of Curse, trying to crush Sukuna with a decisive blow – which Sukuna confidently blocks.
