Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 55 Overview
Chapter 55 of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled “The Origin of Obedience” (起首雷同, Kishu Raidō), delves into the aftermath of the Goodwill Event and sets the stage for the next arc involving the Death Painting Wombs. This chapter introduces new characters and deepens the mystery surrounding the cursed deaths linked to Megumi Fushiguro’s past.
Following the events of the Goodwill Event, Jujutsu High’s first-year students—Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki—embark on their next mission under the guidance of assistant manager Akari Nitta.
They investigate a series of mysterious deaths connected to Megumi’s former junior high school. The victims, including Taichi Kanada, Osamu Shimada, and Hiroshi Yamato, were all killed in their apartment entrances where the auto-lock doors malfunctioned, leaving them wide open. The investigation reveals that all the victims attended the same junior high school, suggesting a curse linked to their shared past.
The team visits the school and encounters former classmates who recall an incident involving four students who went missing after bungee jumping from Yasohachi Bridge, a known hotspot for suicides and paranormal activity. Megumi reflects on his past, wondering if the victims had any karmic ties leading to their deaths. As the investigation progresses, a cursed spirit manifests, signaling the beginning of a new threat.
Meanwhile, Mahito and Pseudo-Geto discuss their acquisition of the Death Painting Wombs No. 1–3. Mahito consumes one of the Death Painting Wombs, transforming into a cursed spirit, indicating the imminent danger posed by these entities.
