JJK Chapter 213 Overview
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 213, titled “Fearsome Womb, Part 5” (呪胎戴天－伍－, Jutaitaiten -go-), was released on February 13, 2023. This pivotal chapter marks a significant turning point in the Culling Game Arc, showcasing Sukuna’s full possession of Megumi Fushiguro’s body and the ensuing chaos that follows.
Plot Overview
Sukuna’s Possession of Megumi: Sukuna reveals that he had been biding his time, waiting for Megumi’s soul to break before fully taking over his body. He acknowledges Megumi’s potential but views him as a “cage” rather than a suitable vessel, similar to Yuji. This strategic move was to ensure he could wield the Ten Shadows Technique without resistance.
Yuji’s Desperation: Yuji, still without a finger, witnesses Sukuna’s brutal assault on his former vessel. Despite his pleas, Sukuna delivers a devastating blow, sending Yuji crashing through multiple buildings.
Introduction of Nue: Demonstrating his mastery over Megumi’s abilities, Sukuna summons an enlarged version of Nue, unleashing massive lightning strikes that disrupt the battlefield.
Hana Kurusu’s Intervention: Determined to stop Sukuna, Hana uses Angel’s Cursed Technique to attempt to purify Megumi. However, Sukuna manipulates the situation, causing confusion and making it appear as though Megumi is still in control.
Key Battles and Events
Yuji vs. Sukuna: Yuji’s attempt to confront Sukuna is swiftly thwarted. His lack of Cursed Energy leaves him vulnerable, and Sukuna’s overwhelming power makes any resistance futile.
Maki and Takaba’s Arrival: Maki and Takaba, alerted by the disturbances, rush to the scene. They witness the chaos but are momentarily stunned by the scale of Sukuna’s power.
Themes and Symbolism
Cage vs. Vessel: Sukuna’s distinction between a “cage” and a “vessel” underscores his strategic thinking and the significance of possessing a compatible body.
Manipulation and Deception: Sukuna’s ability to deceive Hana and others highlights his cunning nature and the psychological warfare at play.
