Recap of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 228

Gojo breaks Sukuna's Domain (Image via Shueisha/Gege Akutami)

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 228, titled Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 6, Kusakabe explained why condensing one’s Domain into such a small dimension is considered unstable. However, the risk paid off when Gojo and Sukuna simultaneously destroyed each other Domains moments later.

Given that they both had their Domains destroyed, neither could use their Cursed Techniques. Although Kashimo and Angel revealed that Sukuna tended to learn a technique after seeing it once and could thus heal his Cursed Technique using Reversed Cursed Technique like Gojo, the battle returned to a fistfight.

As Gojo continued to overpower Sukuna, he wondered why the latter refused to use Megumi’s Ten Shadows Technique. At that moment, Mahoraga’s wheel was seen as Gojo’s eyes drooped and his nose started bleeding.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 229 (speculation)

This is the second time Akutami has shown Gojo to be in mortal peril in the same fight against the same opponent. Therefore, he is unlikely to let the man walk away without any consequences. However, one must remember that this fight is against Mahoraga, who is known to be able to adapt to anything.

On the other hand, Sukuna had defeated Mahoraga once, albeit when the Shikigami was being controlled by Megumi. In theory, Gojo should be able to defeat the Shikigami as well, even if it is now controlled by Sukuna.

However, from the previous battle between Sukuna and Yorozu, it is clear that Sukuna can use only Mahoraga’s wheel to adapt to the situations himself. Therefore, Gojo is in uncertain territory and might as well be out of commission in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 229.
