Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 253 recap

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 253 began with a brief flashback showing the various sorcerers being asked who they thought the strongest Grade 1 was. Nanami, Mei Mei, and Gojo all answered Kusakabe, who in turn answered anyone besides him or “Usami.” Focus then returned to the present, where Maki and Sukuna continued brawling through various buildings. This eventually led to a sneak attack by Takuma Ino, but Sukuna detected and attacked him in time.

This led to another sneak attack by Kusakabe with Nanami’s Cursed Tool, but Sukuna also detected this and dodged it successfully. After knocking Kusakabe away, he returned his focus to Maki, who wanted to kill Sukuna here and now. The narrator then claimed Maki was the first fighter yet to truly whet Sukuna’s appetite, leading to him grabbing her face and jumping out of a building in a battle-crazed frenzy.

As it was revealed, Sukuna also cut off a chunk of Maki’s face in the attack; he commented that this fight between them is one to prove whether one’s sorcery or body is the better choice to hone. Maki realized he stopped using the Reverse Cursed Technique as he said this, with Sukuna then hitting a Black Flash on Maki and sending her flying. The chapter ended with Kusakabe realizing he must now fight Sukuna directly and alone with no one else nearby.


What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 254? (speculative)

With Kusakabe seemingly set to face Sukuna in chapter 254, fans are wholly unsure of what to expect, especially given the flashback at the start of chapter 253. Although it is possible that Kusakabe could at least occupy Sukuna until others arrive, fans truly have no idea what to expect from the scaredy-cat Grade 1 sorcerer.

Likewise, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 254 should either focus solely on Sukuna versus Kusakabe or see the two’s bout interrupted before it can even truly begin. While the second option seems likely, fans know well enough by now that series creator, author, and illustrator Gege Akutami could surprise them at any moment.
