Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 spoilers were expected to showcase Hana Kurusu aka Angel's intervention in the battle against Ryomen Sukuna. The official English translation has been scheduled for release on Monday, July 29, 2024, at 12:00 am JST in Shueisha's Weekly Shone Jump issue 35, following the previous week's break.
In the previous chapter, Yuta (in Gojo's body) collapsed due to his Copied Technique burning out, but the assault was continued by Yuji Itadori and Todo Aoi. Using any means necessary, Todo kept Boogie Woogie going as Yuji dealt explosive damage to Sukuna.
Impressively, he even used Dismantle on the space between Sukuna and Megumi Fushiguro's souls in an attempt to wake up the latter. Finally, Hana Kurusu made an appearance, unleashing Maximum Output: Jacob's Ladder.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 spoilers
According to the Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 spoilers, the chapter has been titled Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 36, begins where chapter 263 left off, with Hana Kurusu aka Angel's arrival. Noticing Hana, Yuji punches the ground to disbalance Sukuna as Jacob's Ladder descends from the sky.
With no option left, the Demon King uses pieces of broken rock as footing to dash toward the levitating Hana, all while getting hit by her attack. He remarks that unlike Yuta's Copied version of the same technique, Hana's original technique targets all within range, aka Yuji and Todo as well.
So, if he ascended the pillar of light, he could reach its castor uninhibited. Angel's warning to her host might have been a little late as Sukuna was already behind her, preparing to attack. He was aware that this time, Angel's attack lacked the output it did the last time she had used it, as he locked in to deliver to a Black Flash.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 spoilers then show Todo Aoi jumping in at the last second to protect Hana. The force of impact was enough to blow them both back. Such a deed led Sukuna to acknowledge Todo as a "true Jujutsu sorcerer". Deciding to target Angel later, Sukuna was interrupted by Yuji appearing out of Jacob's Ladder.
Despite being burned, the boy had ascended the pillar of light towards the Demon King. Within arm's length, Yuji punches Sukuna's face before grabbing his legs and slamming him into a building. Acting quickly, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 spoilers show Yuji trying to disbalance Sukuna again, through his Shrine Technique, but the Demon King reacts quickly.
He blasts Yuji back with a jarring punch. As revealed by the narrator, Sukuna regained his Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT). after using two extra Black Flashes, thus regenerating his lost arms.
Leveraging Yuji's disorientation, Sukuna unleashes a barrage of blows to the boy's face and body. He assumes that Yuji's Dismantle worked on the boundary between souls and was useless without physical touch.
However, Yuji is not one to give up. He attempts to use Dismantle again but is met with a gut punch by Sukuna. Just then, there is a mini flashback of Gojo Satoru teaching Yuji about Domains, the buffs it gives its user (like in a video game), and its sure-hit effect. Back to the present, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 spoilers then show Yuji Itaodri forming the handsign for Domain Expansion.
Here the narrator pipes in, stating that Yuji grasped the basics of barrier techniques thanks to his body swapping training with Atsuya Kusakabe, thereby aiding his understanding of Domains.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 spoilers then depict Sukuna at an unknown station, in Yuji's body, as the boy approaches him for another bout. The spoilers for the chapter end with a comment from the editor, stating that both Sukuna and Yuji's decisive battles had entered an unknown Domain.
Final thoughts
Nearly everyone expected Sukuna to somehow evade Hana's surprise attack. As such, the King of Curses has always had a contingency plan for anything and everything thrown at him. So far, only Yuji's sheer will and focus on slaying him has caught Sukuna off guard on certain occasions.
But this time, it is Yuji who pulled a surprise. As per Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 spoilers, Yuji finally using Domain Expansion will contribute massively to this battle's outcome. This was something even Sukuna didn't account for. But this was a moment the entire fandom had been waiting for and it looks to be glorious.
