Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 205 will likely pick up where chapter 294 ended, beginning a fierce clash between Yuki Tsukumo and Kenjaku. Unlike Choso, whose power level is equal to that of a grade-1 sorcerer, Yuki is a special-grade sorcerer and an opponent who is not to be taken lightly.

Chapter 204 showed Kenjaku using only a small fraction of his strength to overpower Choso, who had to go above and beyond his limits to force his enemy into using a cursed technique other than Geto’s Spirit Manipulation. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 205 will probably give readers a more accurate estimate of Kenjaku’s strength, since he would likely not be able to deal with Yuki simply using weaker cursed spirits.

Kenjaku’s defeat is far from being guaranteed, however, since Yuki might have to fight while protecting the already injured Choso. Kenjaku might continue to direct attacks towards the Death Painting to divert Yuki’s attention and strike her down, unless Choso manages to escape.


A brief summary of chapter 204

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 204 began with Choso making a comeback after being pushed to the brink of defeat. Using the support of his younger brothers to strengthen his will, Choso began unleashing some of his strongest attacks at Kenjaku. The Death Painting even incorporated attacks inspired by his siblings’ signature Rot Technique, but Kenjaku simply called them a pale imitation of the original.

Choso’s “father” continued evading his attacks easily, using weak curses to shield himself and attack back. He continued to taunt the Death Painting, saying that while Piercing Blood’s biggest advantage was its speed, Choso's modified attack was even slower and had no hope of reaching him, despite tracking him.

A heavily injured Choso detached his hand from his body, keeping it connected using his blood and using the arm like a grappling hook. He grabbed Kenjaku and slammed him down to the ground, before retracting his arm and punching the villain. But Kenjaku shielded himself using another cursed spirit from Suguru Geto’s arsenal, unwittingly falling right into Choso’s trap.

The Death Painting used his earlier attacks to surround Kenjaku with his blood before exploding it with his Supernova attack. Kenjaku was forced to use an unknown cursed technique to dispel the effects of the explosion. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 204 ended with Yuki stepping into battle with her shikigami as she praised Choso for his ingenuity.
