Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 252 Overview

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 252, titled Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 24 (人外魔境新宿決戦㉔), was released on March 4, 2024, as part of the Shinjuku Showdown Arc. This chapter marks a pivotal moment in the battle against Sukuna, highlighting strategic maneuvers and the introduction of a unique weapon that shifts the tide of combat.

The chapter begins with a flashback to a few minutes before the current events. Atsuya Kusakabe and Takuma Ino are positioned outside Yuta Okkotsu’s domain barrier, discussing the strategic placement of the domain and the necessity of maintaining a perimeter to prevent Sukuna from exploiting any blind spots. They had planned for Maki Zen’in to be on standby, ready to strike once a portion of Sukuna’s domain was shattered, signaling the moment to attack. However, Kusakabe declines the suggestion to send more sorcerers into the domain, fearing that any additional presence might alert Sukuna to their intentions.

As the plan unfolds, Yuta’s domain is shattered, and Maki seizes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Sukuna. She wields the Soul Splitter katana, a special-grade weapon capable of damaging the soul directly. This attack prevents Sukuna from utilizing Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT) to heal, as he cannot perceive the outline of his soul due to the nature of the weapon. The chapter emphasizes that to heal a soul using RCT, one must have a clear perception of its outline, a condition Sukuna cannot meet in this instance.

Despite the advantage, Sukuna remains formidable. He counters Maki’s assault with his own devastating techniques, including the use of debris and his Twin Meteors attack. The battle intensifies, showcasing the contrasting fighting styles and strategies of the two combatants.
