Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248 Overview
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248, titled Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 20 (人外魔境新宿決戦⑳), was released on January 22, 2024. This chapter is pivotal in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, highlighting significant character developments and setting the stage for monumental confrontations.
Yuji Itadori’s Growth and Sukuna’s Acknowledgment
In this chapter, Yuji Itadori demonstrates remarkable growth by mastering the Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT) in just one month. This achievement allows him to heal his wounds during battle, significantly enhancing his endurance. Sukuna, the King of Curses, acknowledges Yuji’s progress, noting that he is no longer a mere nuisance but a legitimate threat. This shift in Sukuna’s perception underscores Yuji’s development as a sorcerer and sets the stage for a more intense confrontation between the two.
The Executioner’s Sword Fails
Yuji’s earlier attempt to defeat Sukuna using the Executioner’s Sword proves unsuccessful. The sword vanishes after Hiromi Higuruma’s death, rendering it useless. This turn of events highlights the unpredictability of their battle and the challenges Yuji faces in confronting Sukuna.
Kenjaku’s Failsafe Activated
As the battle intensifies, Kenjaku’s failsafe plan comes into play. The authority to merge humanity with Tengen is transferred to Megumi Fushiguro, allowing Sukuna to continue his mission even in Kenjaku’s absence. This development adds a new layer of complexity to the ongoing conflict and raises the stakes for the sorcerers.
Yuta Okkotsu’s Arrival
Just as the situation seems dire, Yuta Okkotsu returns to the battlefield. His arrival signifies a turning point in the battle against Sukuna, as Yuta is one of the most powerful sorcerers capable of challenging the King of Curses. His presence brings renewed hope to the sorcerers and sets the stage for an epic showdown.
Why This Chapter Is Noteworthy
Chapter 248 is significant for several reasons:
- Yuji’s Development: His mastery of the Reverse Cursed Technique in such a short period showcases his growth and determination.
- Sukuna’s Acknowledgment: The King of Curses recognizing Yuji as a legitimate threat marks a shift in their dynamic.

These developments set the stage for the climactic confrontations in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc.
