Unfortunately, no verifiable spoiler information for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 255 is available as of this article’s writing. While spoilers will be made available later in the release week, there’s no telling exactly when these will be released. Likewise, even when released, there’s always a chance that the spoilers are inaccurate relative to the official release’s events. Thankfully, fans do at least have officially confirmed release information for the highly-anticipated installment.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 254 recap

Expand Tweet

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 254 began with Kusakabe activating his Simple Domain, which allowed him to automatically block Sukuna’s slashes. Eventually, Sukuna teased using the World Bisecting Slash while a flashback played out. In the flashback, Gojo, Mei Mei, and Nanami praised the range and versatility of Kusakabe’s Simple Domain.

Kusakabe then expanded his range in the present to include Sukuna. This caused him to automatically unleash a flurry of strikes, while Nanami said he didn’t know anyone who could withstand this tactic. However, Kusakabe’s sword then broke, prompting him to throw it away and begin fist-fighting Sukuna.

Kusakabe then questioned why he was fighting so hard, saying he owes Yaga even though he wouldn’t criticize him for not going all out in a fight. Kusakabe then shared that Yaga may look sad because they couldn’t fight with each other.

This prompted a continuation of the flashback to Gojo, Mei Mei, and Nanami, in which all three share that the biggest reason they support Kusakabe is how kind-hearted he is. Kusakabe drew his broken sword again, using Cursed Energy to fill the blade. However, Sukuna dodged the attack and countered, leaving Kusakabe greatly wounded. The chapter ended with Miguel saving Ui Ui from Sukuna, who was waiting for him to appear.

Miguel’s debut in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 255 has thrown a bit of a wrench in what to expect from the coming issue. While it’s possible Miguel could give Sukuna a fight, many fans are viewing him as an essential repeat of Kusakabe. In other words, it’s expected he’ll get one chapter to fight Sukuna before either being killed or forced to retreat.

However, either scenario’s occurrence in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 255 will likely be used to give some big names time to return to the battlefield, such as Yuji Itadori and Maki Zen’in. Yuta Okkotsu is seemingly unlikely to return, given the massive damage he took and the amount of Cursed Energy he spent, combined with Maki’s dialogue on him in recent issues.
