Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258 Discussion

why is no one commenting how juyi lost his leg?
gege really hates him

@j_ds To be fair the leg he lost was grown back in the next panel, so he didn’t really have much to worry about since he has RCT now.

@thebrentinator24 You actually see him reattaching his leg with blood manipulation and then healing it.

UiUi is actually the MVP of the Sukuna Raid he’s done so much to support.

Since he can swap souls two times in a month, we know that one of the people was Kusakabe to teach Yuji simple domain and CE manipulation.

The second person that Yuji swapped with has to have RCT because Yuji’s also done that in this fight.
-Hakari is automatic so he can’t teach Yuji’s body
-Yuta does it by instinct and would have taught Yuji how to use Copy, which he hasn’t done at all
-Choso would be an option, considering that he could also condition Yuji’s body to Blood Manipulation, but remember that Yuji was calling Kamo a great teacher compared to Choso so I think Yuji learned BM by being taught without swapping

Gojo only survived against Toji because he consciously learned how to do RCT before death. So he is the best one to swap with Yuji and possibly even teach his body Limitless. Since Yuji chained 7-8 black flashes, his CE manipulation should at least be somewhat comparable to Six Eyes (obviously a fraction of it still) but I think it is possible he can pull out limitless in a crucial moment.

Wonder when the author will finally use his favourite quote and will state, "Itadori's potential is equal to Gojo's now". Or wait, I think he already has or was it with Sukuna? 

Either way, no one was asking how he could learn so much in such a short time to begin with, as this seems a simple plain case of main guy syndrome. Though now the author could literally throw anything around and will just say it's the result of "learning and adaptation while he was still one with Sukuna" lmao.

Since Sukuna isn't programmed to die, wonder who'll be the one in the next chapter, now that his domain is out too.

Yuji joined this fight like 20 chapters ago and since then I've literally seen endless questions from the fandom about how he was able to learn Blood Manipulation and RCT, and when this chapter finally gives detailed logical explanations, it's suddenly "nah just main guy syndrome." And when we get a detailed logical explanation for how Yuji being a vessel for Sukuna for over 200 chapters led to his explosive growth rate, via "muscle memory" of Sukuna's Jujutsu use, it's the author "throwing anything around." I know you feel the need to find even the smallest possible thing to complain about every chapter, but doing so regarding the things that were properly explained within this very chapter is just silly.

@thebrentinator24 reincarnation of Sukuna's unborn brother, Gege really doesn't know how to be subtle, i'd rather he explains less, bc most of his explanations are awful, i'd rather not know the reason than read several pages of convoluted and non-sensical dialogue.

I've given up trying to understand what exactly what's happening in this fight.

Slight correction, Yuji’s dad was the reincarnation, then Kenjaku birthed Yuji through him for the sake of making him Sukuna’s vessel. I agree that his explanations do feel over-written at times, but I feel like that’s a “necessary evil” so to speak because of how dense the power system is.


Battle shounen series do the “mid-fight power up explanation” all the time, I’m not sure why it’s such an issue now that JJK is doing it. And why do people think killing off characters = shock value. These characters are under the constant threat of death, in a profession that’s constantly plagued by death, of course people will die. Especially against the strongest sorcerer ever. I’d honestly have more of an issue with Gege going the MHA route and playing it safe by NOT killing off significant characters.
