Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263,”Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown“
Chapter 263 marks a pivotal moment in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, where the battle against Ryomen Sukuna intensifies. The chapter begins with the aftermath of Yuta Okkotsu’s use of Satoru Gojo’s Hollow Purple technique, which successfully strikes Sukuna, causing his domain barrier to rupture. However, Yuta’s body begins to give out due to the immense strain, and he collapses, unable to continue the fight without Rika’s presence to support his cursed techniques.
With Yuta incapacitated, Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo re-enter the fray, utilizing their combined strength and tactics to challenge Sukuna. Yuji employs his Black Flash technique, landing several powerful blows on Sukuna, while Todo activates his Boogie Woogie technique to create openings for Yuji’s attacks. Despite their efforts, Sukuna adapts quickly, showcasing his overwhelming power and resilience.
The chapter concludes with the unexpected arrival of Angel, who joins the battle with her powerful technique, Jacob’s Ladder, aiming to separate Sukuna from Megumi Fushiguro’s body. This development raises the stakes, as the team now faces the challenge of not only defeating Sukuna but also rescuing Megumi.
