Anticipation surrounded Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 246, with readers eager to learn how Yuji and his comrades would contend with Sukuna’s slashes. However, recent spoilers have unveiled more details. The official translation is scheduled for release on Monday, December 25, 2023, at 12 a.m. JST in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump issue 4/5.
In the preceding chapter, Hakari and Uraume continued their intense battle. Sukuna confessed to his misdeeds, prompting Judgeman to confiscate his Cursed Technique and issue a death sentence. Nevertheless, Higuruma’s Domain seized Sukuna’s Cursed Tool, Kamutoke, instead. Choso, Ino, and Kusakabe entered the fray just as Sukuna unleashed his formidable Slashes.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 246 Spoilers & Raw Scans
As per the provided spoilers, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 246 bears the title “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 17.”
The chapter kicks off with Yuji and Kusakabe attempting to rescue Higuruma from Sukuna’s Slashes. Kusakabe discerns that not all of Sukuna’s slashes fall under “the Slash that Divides the World.” There is the regular slash, Dismantle, which propels and activates upon contact, and Cleave, a slash whose strength varies based on the opponent’s strength.
“The Slash that Divides the World” is identified as a version of Cleave with an expanded target. Dodging or countering any form of Cleave and a direct Dismantle is deemed impossible, even with defensive techniques. Kusakabe surmises that Sukuna refrains from utilizing his potent Fire Technique, likely due to a current inability.
Despite Higuruma’s regret for Judgeman not confiscating Sukuna’s CT, Kusakabe asserts that Kamutoke alone is sufficient. He pledges to defend Higuruma and contemplates the possibility of dying in the confrontation, much to Sukuna’s amusement. Sukuna effortlessly eludes Choso’s Piercing Blood, causing severe harm to the Death Painting.
However, before Ino repels Sukuna with a strike from Nanami’s blade infused with his 7:3 CT, successfully impacting Sukuna, Yuji, Ino, Kusakabe, and Higuruma launch simultaneous attacks. This display of individual and collective growth impresses Sukuna. However, the assault results in Higuruma being separated from Kusakabe and Yuji, who rush to his aid. Sukuna then directs his attention towards the Lawyer.
The chapter delves into a flashback where Higuruma explains that the Executioner’s Sword exclusively affects the soul recognized by Judgeman as Guilty. Yuji’s prior trial indicated that only Sukuna’s soul would be identified, leaving Megumi’s soul unscathed.
Yuji highlighted Higuruma’s inability to employ the Reversed Cursed Technique, acknowledging the high likelihood of Higuruma facing imminent death by directly confronting Sukuna. In response, Higuruma expressed a commitment to pressing forward, seeking atonement for the lives lost in the Culling Game.
Returning to the present in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 246, Sukuna outpaces Yuji and directs a dismantling attack at Higuruma, who responds with Domain Amplification. Sukuna acknowledges Higuruma’s remarkable growth within a mere two months of becoming a Sorcerer, anticipating that Higuruma may be the one to rival Gojo’s potential.
It’s worth noting that due to a publication-wide break for Christmas observed by Shueisha, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 246, like other weekly print publications, will be on hiatus next week. The manga is scheduled to resume with Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 246 in the Weekly Shonen Jump issue 6/7.
