Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 237: Sukuna resurfaces and Megumi's fate hangs in the balance | Details (2024)

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 237 delivers a stunning twist as Sukuna, in his original Heian Era form, returns to the forefront. Simultaneously, mangaka Gege Akutami introduces uncertainty around the fate of Megumi Fushiguro.

A High-Stakes Chapter

Following the shock of Satoru Gojo's demise in Chapter 236, fans speculated whether Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 237 could maintain the intensity. Akutami not only meets expectations but surpasses them with Sukuna's reappearance and the potential loss of another beloved character, Megumi.

Recap of Previous Events

In the previous chapter, Gojo's encounter with Geto, Nanami, Haibara, and others in a dream-like afterlife revealed that Sukuna had proven too formidable for him. In reality, Gojo suffered a vertical cut, severing him in half after Mahoraga adeptly adapted to Infinity. Following Gojo's tragic death, Hajime Kashimo entered the fray.

Chapter 237: "Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 14"

The chapter commences with Kashimo entering the battlefield from a staggering height of 203 meters. High above him stands Uraume, the Frozen Star, atop a block of ice. Hakari joins the scene, encasing Uraume within his Domain Expansion. However, Uraume counteracts with an Ice formation that unveils a concealed cursed tool named the "Supreme Martial Solution." Crafted by Yorozu in exchange for a Binding Vow, it reaches Sukuna.

Sukuna employs this tool to unleash lightning attacks upon Kashimo. Thanks to Kashimo's unique Cursed Energy, he naturally resists these attacks.

Kashimo's Cursed Technique

Kashimo unveils his Cursed Technique, Mythical Beast Amber, which enables his body to undergo various transformations, enhancing his agility, speed, and awareness. He also gains the ability to produce electromagnetic waves capable of vaporizing obstacles. However, when the technique concludes, Kashimo's body begins to deteriorate.

In this state, Kashimo lands multiple hits on Sukuna while evading the Curse's attacks. This prompts Sukuna to initiate his transformation into his original Heian-era form, a transformation he had deliberately postponed and can execute only once without the Reversed Cursed Technique.

Analysis and Questions Raised

Chapter 237 raises several crucial points. One pressing question revolves around Megumi's fate. Sukuna did not heal Megumi's body before his transformation, leaving fans speculating whether Megumi is fatally wounded or even deceased. Sukuna may have saved his transformation as a last resort, but it potentially signifies the end of Megumi's association with the Ten Shadows Technique.

The chapter also hints at a battle between Hakari and Uraume, which will likely parallel Sukuna's clash with Kashimo. Both Uraume and Kashimo are relatively unknown elements in the story, making their encounters intriguing.

However, the most controversial aspect of the chapter is the uncertainty surrounding Megumi's fate. Akutami's decision to potentially remove a central character right after Gojo's demise presents a bold narrative choice. The emotional stakes have diminished in the ongoing battle, with Hakari and Kashimo not carrying the same emotional weight as Gojo or Megumi.

As the story progresses, Akutami must re-engage readers in the ongoing battles to maintain the story's momentum. The upcoming Chapter 238 will hopefully delve further into the battles without necessitating the loss of yet another beloved character to elicit emotional investment.

FAQs

Who killed Sukuna?
Prior to assuming the title of the King of Curses, Sukuna was a rogue human sorcerer known for his uncontrollable powers, which posed a grave danger to humanity.
