Summary
Finally, after a long break,Jujutsu Kaisenis returning later this week. Currently, all eyes are on JJK chapter 249, as the series looks to continue the incredible battles in Shinjuku which have excited the entire fanbase over the course of the last few months.
Recently, Yuji was seen fighting against Sukuna and now, this battle has become even more exciting, thanks to Yuta and Rika joining in. JJK chapter 249 is going to be a very intriguing addition to the Culling Game arc which will most definitely take the series one step closer to its end and, perhaps, even set the stage for the finale of this arc.
Yuta and Rika Begin The Fight
Towards the end of the previous chapter,fans saw Yuta and Rika join the battleand that is most likely where this upcoming chapter is going to pick up from. Yuta did not waste any time launching an attack at Sukuna and the King of Curses blocked it with his fingers, empowered with cursed energy. Of course, Rika joined the battle shortly after, forcing Sukuna to use his entire body to block her attack. Meanwhile, Yuji is in the vicinity as well, and it appears that the vast majority of the upcoming chapter is going to focus on Yuta, who is the stronger one for Sukuna to take down. Fans have been eagerly waiting in anticipation for Yuta to get his shining moment in the Culling Game arc.
While he has fought against some interesting foes, such as Ryu and even Takako Uro, Sukuna is on an entirely different level and Yuta is going to finally get the chance to bring out his very best. At the same time, Rika is going to be by Yuta’s side and is certainly going to play a major role in the fighting. Fans know Rika to be incredibly powerful. The fact that she holds the title of Queen of Curses is no coincidence. Rika is incredible when it comes to combat and her presence in the battle against Sukuna is going to be massive.
In fact, it could be even argued that Rika herself is much stronger than Yuta and will play a bigger role in this fight. However, together, Yuta and Rika are certainly going to pose problems for Sukuna, even though the King of Curses is the strongest in the world at the moment.
Yuji Teams Up With Yuta
Jujutsu Kaisenchapter 249might focus on Yuta and Rika, given that they are the ones who joined the battle recently, however, it will most likely not turn a blind eye to Yuji, who has been on the receiving end of quite a lot of attention lately. Fans know Yuji to be a shining talent at the moment, given that he recently awakened the power to use reverse cursed technique, and at the same time, earned the respect of Sukuna as well. After such an intense build-up, it would be anti-climactic for the author to cut away from Yuji entirely and focus on Yuta and Rika. The perfect solution here would be to divide the focus between Yuta and Yuji at the same time. It must be remembered that both Yuta and Yuji are important characters when it comes to the next generation of sorcerers and, as a result, it would make perfect sense for them to receive attention at the same time.
Furthermore, it must also be remembered that both Yuta and Yuji were Gojo’s very own students. Both of them are going to inherit his will and continue fighting in his name as well. That is precisely what JJK chapter 249 will strive to accomplish and set the basis for. Fans will most definitely get to see Yuji and Yuta combine their strengths and fight against Sukuna to the best of their abilities.
Sukuna On The Backfoot
While Sukuna has enjoyed quite a lot of advantages in his fights lately, now is the time for him to be pushed on the back foot.The King of Curses is the strongest in the seriesand there is no denying that fact. However, with Yuta, Yuji, and Rika, potentially going up against a Sukuna who is not at his best, chances are that he will be feeling the heat and start being pushed on the back foot. All three of these characters are incredibly powerful and unlike any other foe that Sukuna has faced after the death of Gojo.
These individuals are going to push him to the extremes and force him to bring out his very best. Sukuna being on the back foot is actually great for the story, even though some fans might not like this idea.
The fact is that Sukuna still has a lot left to show. Being pushed around will give him the opportunity to showcase what he’s truly capable of and what he has been hiding ever since his reincarnation took place. Furthermore, Sukuna being pushed on the backfoot in JJK chapter 249 would also ensure that Yuta gets to showcase his incredible techniques as well. It must be remembered that there are quite a lot of powerful abilities that Yuta possesses that he has not shown just yet, and, now, it is time for him to showcase what he’s truly capable of in battle.
Sukuna To Reveal His Cursed Technique?
JJK chapter 249could finally reveal Sukuna’s cursed techniqueto the fans. While fans know what Sukuna’s cursed technique does, technically, they do not know what the name of the technique is and how exactly it works. Sukuna has two main slashing-based attacks and those are Cleave and Dismantle. Added to that is the new world bisecting slash that he recently learned. Of course, then there is the fire arrow that he uses through his Black Box and, that in itself is quite confusing. His Cursed Technique has not been properly revealed to the fans just yet and there are many secrets that this ancient sorcerer holds.
As such, at some point,Sukuna is going to have to reveal what he can doand how he does it as well. This is exactly why him being pushed to the backfoot is actually good. IfJJKchapter 249 accomplishes that, then Sukuna will have the perfect opportunity to reveal his hand, strengthening his cursed technique through a Binding Vow, and at the same time, fighting back against Yuji, Rika, and Yuta at the same time.
Of course, this battle is going to be anything but easy for the heroes to win, however, it is one that they have to fight to the best of their abilities, especially if Sukuna starts throwing everything that he has their way. Regardless of what way the battle goes, fans should be incredibly excited asJJKis going to enter its peak, when it comes to the fight against Sukuna.
