A brief recap of the latest chapter
In the previous chapter, Yuji confronted Sukuna and was unscathed by the use "Cleave: Spider's Web". Megumi was then seen to be attempting to make matters worse for Sukuna by reducing his Cursed Energy output.
This allowed Yuji to hit the Curse. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 215, titled Fearsome Womb Part 7, began with Kenjaku teasing Uraume about having to take a diversion because of them. Meanwhile, Maki joined Yuji and the two gave the King of Curses a lot of trouble as he struggled to fend for himself. The fight between the three got interrupted by Uraume, who activated "Maximum Output: Frost Calm" and froze Yuji and Maki.
Uraume apologized for coming late and informed Sukuna that they made sure to keep the ice lighter on Yuji, but the Curse said that he no longer required the youngster. He invited Nue once more to transport the two of them away after asking Uraume to prepare the bath. Yuji broke free from the ice and saw them fly away disappointedly.
