Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 220 Overview
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 220, titled “Self-Purification, Self-Constraint” (自浄自縛, Jijō Jibaku), was released on April 17, 2023, as part of Volume 25. This chapter delves into the intricate dynamics of the Culling Game and sets the stage for the impending battle between Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna. It also explores the motivations and strategies of key characters, particularly Kenjaku, as they navigate the complex web of alliances and conflicts.
Kenjaku’s Manipulation of the Culling Game
Kenjaku introduces a new rule to the Culling Game: the game will end when all players, except for himself (disguised as Suguru Geto) and Megumi Fushiguro (who is possessed by Sukuna), are eliminated. This move consolidates his power and accelerates the game’s conclusion. He also instructs Kogane, the game’s AI, to prevent new players from entering, effectively sealing the fate of the remaining participants.
The Role of the Joukai Barriers
Kenjaku reveals that the Joukai barriers, which have been a significant obstacle throughout the Culling Game, are essential for his plan. These barriers are not merely hindrances but are integral to merging with Tengen, the barrier technique master. By maintaining these barriers, Kenjaku ensures the game’s progression toward its intended conclusion.
Yuji’s Transformation
Yuji Itadori undergoes significant development in this chapter. He is informed that he has become a cursed object, a status that grants him immunity to certain curses but also places him in a precarious position. This revelation adds complexity to his role in the upcoming events and his relationship with Sukuna.
