Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 222 Overview
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 222, titled “Foretokens” (予兆, Yochō), was released on May 15, 2023, as part of Volume 25. This chapter serves as a pivotal setup for the highly anticipated battle between Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna, marking the beginning of the Shinjuku Showdown arc.
The chapter opens with Satoru Gojo‘s return from the Prison Realm, where he is briefed on the events that transpired during his absence. He learns of Kento Nanami‘s death and expresses relief that at least Kiyotaka Ijichi survived.
Shoko Ieiri informs Gojo that Takuma Ino has something to say about Nanami, though the content of this message remains undisclosed. Meanwhile, Kenjaku observes the progress of the Culling Game, noting that 61 players have died due to Cursed Technique removal. He plans to eliminate the remaining players while Gojo and Sukuna engage in their battle.
The narrative shifts to Yuji Itadori, who is training with Atsushi Kusakabe. Yuji demonstrates significant improvement, easily defeating Kusakabe. Yuta Okkotsu and Toge Inumaki are also seen preparing for the impending conflict. Yuta reveals that he hasn’t informed Yuji about the loss of his arm, as he doesn’t want Yuji to feel responsible for Sukuna’s actions. Inumaki concurs with this decision.
As December 24 approaches, the day set for the Gojo vs. Sukuna battle, the tension among the Jujutsu Sorcerers escalates. Gojo, flanked by Gakuganji and Utahime, arrives at Jujutsu High. The students, including Yuji, Maki Zen’in, Panda, and Nobara Kugisaki, express their support and encouragement. Yuji, in a lighthearted moment, asks Gojo to deactivate his Infinity so he can pat his back for good luck. The chapter concludes with a close-up of Sukuna’s face, signaling the imminent clash.
