Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 168 recap

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 168, the eyeball that fell near Megumi exploded. The guy who threw it is Iori Hazenoki with 35 points and his Curse Technique allows him to explode any severed part of his body. Furthermore, the body part will regrow after the explosion. Alongside him, there were two other assailants named Reggie and Hari Chizuru.

Reggie’s full name is Reggie Star and his Curse Technique allows him to turn a recipe into the object listed on it. Coupled with that, he had 41 points. Meanwhile, the Intruder with the ponytail is Hari Chizuru with 28 points. As they continue to attack Megumi, the new rule that Higuruma added was announced.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Megumi managed to kill Hari with the help of Max Elephant and Nue, adding 5 points to his tally. However, he was severely injured, and decided against using his domain when Hazenoki attacks him with an exploding tooth.

But Takaba Fumihiko, the comedian from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 146, appears out of nowhere and shields Megumi. Notably, Hazenoki’s attack which severely wounded Megumi has very little effect on Takaba.


Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 169 spoilers

According to the spoilers, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 169 begins with Megumi and Takaba having a conversation. However, it is interrupted by Hazenoki who asks the latter about his identity. In response, Takaba makes a pun which no one understands or appreciates.

An entire page is dedicated to the reaction to this pun in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 169. This is probably done to break up the tension, if the spoilers are to be believed. When no one laughs, Takaba goes into a rant about ungrateful customers and sends Hazenoki flying with a kick. Reggie is surprised at the former's strength.

Megumi strikes a deal with Takaba. The agreement involves the latter eliminating Hazenoki, which he does by means that are unknown as of yet.

Megumi tries to attack Reggie from the shadows but is unsuccessful. Takaba then leaves and Megumi feels relieved that he wasn't an enemy. Subsequently, the latter checks on Yuuji and Higuruma to see their positions.

Satisfied that Yuuji is safe and that Higuruma gave him a point to ensure his participation for 19 more days, Megumi decides to leave Tokyo No.2 Colony and head towards the former. But before that, he has to finally fight Reggie.
