Chapter 215 recap
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 215 began with a quick shot of Uraume and Kenjaku being in a fish-like Cursed Spirit over Tokyo. The perspective then shifted to Yuji versus Sukuna, where the former’s punch from the previous issue’s final moments was seen connecting.
Maki Zenin arrived on the scene, teaming up with Yuji against Sukuna. The two appeared to overwhelm the King of Curses. However, this changed when Sukuna used a new Cursed Technique called Spider’s Thread. This created an opportunity for Sukuna to attack Maki, but she overcame it with no issues.
Fans then saw Uraume appear, freezing Maki and Yuji with a Maximum Output Cursed Technique. Sukuna summoned Nue and demanded that his bath be prepared as he and Uraume got on board. Uraume confirmed that it has already been done.
As they departed, Yuji broke free from his ice and shouted at Sukuna. This prompted the King of Curses and Uraume to laugh at how pathetic Yuji looked as they flew away, presumably to the Zenin clan hideout where Sukuna’s bath awaits.
What to expect (speculative)
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 216 will likely focus on Hana Kurusu’s status after Sukuna bit her arm off. She’ll have lost a good amount of blood by this point and will probably need immediate medical attention (of both the standard and jujutsu variety). This could allow Yuta Okkotsu to return to the fold, using his Reverse Cursed Technique to heal Hana’s arm.
Yuta may also consume Hana’s severed arm to copy her and Angel’s Cursed Techniques, thus allowing him to open the Prison Realm should anything else happen to her.
Likewise, the group will likely resolve to free Satoru Gojo as their next move, considering that they need all the manpower they can get with a Sukuna-fied Megumi as their enemy.
Finally, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 216 is expected to end by showing fans what Kenjaku got up to after dropping Uraume off. Many suspect that he went to see Yorozu, who is widely believed to be the Game Master of the Culling Games. Another possibility is that Kenjaku returned to Tengen to begin the merging process.
