Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264. Read at your own risk!
Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen have been anticipating chapter 264’s release on July 29, 2024, with great anticipation. The much anticipated news of Yuji Itadori’s domain expansion has already leaked, revealing the moment everyone has been waiting for. At this crucial point, a train station is shown to be Yuji’s dominion, leaving even Ryomen Sukuna in disbelief.
The Path to Mastery: Gojo and Kusakabe’s Teachings
Yuji’s achievement in mastering Domain Expansion is a testament to the teachings of two key mentors: Gojo Satoru and Kusakabe. Gojo emphasized the concept and significance of this ultimate move, while Kusakabe provided practical instruction on the technique’s execution. Together, they equipped Yuji with the knowledge and skills needed to confront the formidable King of Curses.
Spoilers and Key Events
The chapter continues where the last one left off, with Sukuna just avoiding Hana Kurusu’s Jacob’s Ladder. Hana was saved by Aoi Todo who moved in just in time to stop Sukuna from killing her. Taking advantage of the situation, Yuji surprised Sukuna by throwing him against a structure and trying to use the cursed technique from the Shrine to subdue him.
Though Sukuna was able to recover his hands and reclaim his reverse-cursed technique, he did not go all out since he thought Yuji’s Dismantle method could only touch the boundary between the soul and the body. Yuji started his Domain Expansion, which took a dramatic turn when he presented Sukuna with a train station setting. The key teachings that Gojo and Kusakabe taught Yuji that allowed him to use this potent method are revealed in a flashback.
Understanding Yuji’s Domain Expansion
Yuji’s Domain Expansion mirrors his cursed technique, sharing similarities with Sukuna’s. However, Yuji’s abilities are still developing, suggesting possible differences. Unlike Sukuna’s boundary-less Malevolent Shrine, Yuji’s train station domain might feature a boundary, ensuring a sure-hit effect within its confines.
Final Thoughts
As the battle between domains looms, Yuji’s confrontation with Sukuna marks a significant turning point. With Sukuna injured, their domain expansions could be evenly matched. However, Yuji’s Shrine technique remains incomplete, lacking the Divine Flames aspect. This yet-to-be-awakened ability might prove decisive in the upcoming clash between protagonist and antagonist.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 promises to be a thrilling installment, with Yuji’s newfound power setting the stage for an epic showdown with Ryomen Sukuna.
