The ongoing Sakurajima Colony arc focuses primarily on Maki, chronicling her awakening of the superior senses that her Heavenly Restriction has blessed her with.

A brief summary of chapter 198

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 198 began with Naoya making a comeback after having his torso sliced into two by Daidou. He used Domain Expansion, trapping Daidou and Miyo within the barrier, and promptly immobilized them with the sure-hit technique inside his domain.

The chapter revealed that people like Toji and Maki were immune to domains with barrier techniques due to their lack of cursed energy, since the barriers considered them inanimate objects. This, combined with the Split Soul Sword’s ability to ignore the external toughness of objects and directly damage the soul, allowed Maki to enter the domain and kill Naoya.
