Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 64 Overview
Chapter 64 of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled “It’s Like That” (そういうこと, Sō iu Koto), is a pivotal installment in the Death Painting Arc. Released on June 24, 2019, it delves into the progression of Tokyo Jujutsu High’s students and their interpersonal dynamics.
Promotion to Grade 1 Sorcerers
Aoi Todo and Mei Mei recommend the first and second-year students for promotion to Grade 1 sorcerers. To achieve this rank, a student must receive recommendations from at least two Grade 1 sorcerers and accompany another Grade 1 sorcerer on several missions. Based on the outcomes of these missions, the student may be deemed a semi-Grade 1 sorcerer and receive another mission to complete independently.
The results of this mission affect the decision to grant or deny Grade 1 status. Aoi expresses confidence that Yuji will accept the recommendation and go on missions to increase the likelihood of encountering Sukuna’s fingers. However, Mei Mei reveals that the one who accompanies the sorcerer on their missions can’t be the same person who made the recommendation, which disappoints Aoi.
Yuji’s Past and Yuko Ozawa
Meanwhile, Nobara encounters a young girl named Yuko Ozawa, who shows her a picture from their junior high graduation. In the picture, Yuko appears much heavier set and is standing next to Yuji. Yuko admits to having a crush on Yuji and recalls how he appreciated her elegance despite her being considered overweight.
She feels that Yuji saw something in her that she didn’t notice within herself. However, now she feels like she’s just being shallow like everyone else who judged her. Nobara, interested in the situation, calls Yuji to meet them at a diner.
Yuji recognizes Yuko immediately, surprising her. Yuko overhears Yuji talking with other boys about how the girl he liked the most was her. Despite her initial hesitation, she leaves without telling Yuji the truth, but Nobara gathers the information. This revelation adds depth to Yuji’s character and hints at his past relationships.
