Chapter 220 recap
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 220 began with a focus on Kenjaku, who revealed how the Culling Game functioned as he tried adding a rule to it.
Kogane continuously denied the rule. However, Kenjaku eventually revealed that the Culling Game has no Game Master and that if it’s anyone at all, it’s Tengen. After explaining that Tengen bet on the wrong group and is now in his hands, Kenjaku forced Kogane to add the rule by threatening to end the game otherwise.
This created a logic glitch that forced Kogane to choose between disrupting the game or ending it. Kenjaku and Tengen then came upon Sukuna’s corpse. Kenjaku decided to take it to Sukuna himself as a souvenir.
The issue then shifted perspective to Yuji and co, who were all shown to be alright and at various stages of rest and recovery. Hana Kurusu is also confirmed to be alive, suggesting that Gojo could still be freed. Yuji declared his intent to do whatever it took to rescue Megumi while also explaining that he’s akin to a Cursed Object made from Sukuna’s Cursed Energy.
The issue ended with Yuji receiving a book from Choso, as well as Gojo’s return being heavily teased.
What to expect (speculative)
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 221 will likely start with a continued focus on Yuji and his group of allies, showing what their plan of attack is for freeing Gojo and defeating Sukuna and Kenjaku.
While the chapter may shift perspective back to Kenjaku and/or Sukuna, a focus on Yuji and co seems likely given the previous few issues’ focus on the antagonistic duo.
This should result in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 221 providing fans with a rough in-series timeline of when Satoru Gojo should be freed. While it could still take several issues for Gojo to be freed, fans should at least have a good idea of how imminent his return is relative to the upcoming release.
