Jujutsu Kaisen: chapter 257 recap 

In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 257, Sukuna and Yuji reveal a surprising backstory, with Sukuna recalling his past to Uraume and revealing he consumed his twin in the womb. This reveals an unexpected family tie between them, making them potentially uncle and nephew. Yuji takes on Sukuna, landing three Black Flash attacks, and their intense fight escalates as they showcase their powerful abilities in a back-and-forth exchange.

We also get a look back at Gojo seeking permission to use Nanami's Cursed Tool in a conversation with Ino, who later jumps into the fight against Sukuna with a Dragon summoning technique, although Sukuna quickly deals with the attack.Yuji shows impressive skill, continuing to hit Sukuna with Black Flash assaults.

Despite Sukuna's initial confidence, Yuji's rapid mastery of his techniques takes Sukuna by surprise. The chapter concludes dramatically with Yuji executing a potent Black Flash on Sukuna, notching up his eighth attack of the conflict, leaving Sukuna in agony as Yuji moves in, signaling a shift in the battle's momentum.

Jujutsu Kaisen: What to expect from chapter 258

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258, Sukuna is expected to weaken further due to Yuji's recent awakening and lack of exploration of his true power. Yuji has access to powers like Blood Manipulation and Shrine, but has not fully utilized them since his awakening. This presents a concerning situation for Sukuna. Choso previously mentioned that Yuji has not fully controlled Convergence, but this was before his awakening.

After the awakening, Yuji is a completely different person and his control over cursed energy, as well as all his cursed techniques, has now been taken to the next level. This is precisely why JJK chapter 258 could very well see Yuji unleash his strongest techniques against Sukuna, and injure him greatly in battle.

Yuji's dominance in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 is expected to continue, with new techniques and techniques to be revealed in the upcoming chapter. The chapter will shape the future of the JJK world and involve blood manipulation and the Shrine, which Yuji awakened in the previous chapter. Fans are excited to see new techniques from Yuji in this massive chapter.

For only the second time in the Shinjuku Showdown arc, Sukuna is actually scared and that just goes to show how strong Yuji has gotten. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 will also most likely solidify Yuji as one of the strongest characters in the entire series.

Physically, he is able to keep up with Sukuna, and at the same time, his cursed techniques give him what appears to be a massive edge in combat. As mentioned by the narrator himself, Yuji could actually go on to surpass the King of Curses, and that certainly is very exciting.
