Jujutsu Kaisen fans, brace yourselves! The tide of battle may have just turned dramatically in humanity’s favor. Chapter 256 concluded with protagonist Yuji Itadori landing a jaw-dropping Black Flash technique on the mighty Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses. This potentially series-altering development has everyone buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming Chapter 257, scheduled to be released on April 22nd, 2024.

Where to Read Chapter 257 and Recap of Chapter 256

For those eager to dive into the next chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 257 will be available on various platforms including Viz Media (US & Canada), Shueisha’s MangaPlus (global), and Shonen Jump.

But before we jump ahead, let’s rewind to Chapter 256. The chapter offered a crucial flashback with Gojo Satoru explaining the elusive Black Flash technique. Even the mighty Gojo, with his incredible Six Eyes and skills, struggled to consistently use this devastating move due to factors like fighting style and luck. This revelation highlighted the impressive feat Yuji just accomplished.

Back in the present, the battle raged on with Maki, Miguel, Yuji, and Choso all battling their anxieties about Sukuna’s potential power-up. Despite their worries, they continued to fight valiantly. The chapter showcased intense exchanges with Maki enduring a brutal Black Flash from Sukuna, Choso launching a powerful attack only to be countered, and Yuji landing a solid punch.

The turning point arrived when Yuji unleashed his Piercing Blood technique and prepared another attack. Sensing the potential for a Black Flash from Yuji, Sukuna braced himself. However, another player entered the fray – Larue. Using his unique Cursed Technique, “Cutie Honey! Look This Way!!”, Larue manipulated consciousness, giving Yuji the perfect window to unleash a monumental Black Flash that struck Sukuna right in the chest. The chapter ended with a cryptic hint about Yuji’s awakening, leaving fans eagerly waiting to see what this means for the future of the battle.

What to Expect in Chapter 257: Yuji’s Awakening and Beyond

With Yuji experiencing an awakening, Chapter 257 is expected to be a game-changer. Many theorize that Yuji will gain complete mastery over Blood Manipulation, a skill that could potentially lead to Sukuna’s defeat. This mastery could even culminate in the formation of a powerful Blood Domain, a special barrier technique unique to Jujutsu Sorcerers.

This awakening will likely shift the focus of the battle entirely onto Yuji. After underestimating his potential, Sukuna might finally be forced to take him seriously. Fans anticipate an intense showdown as the Shinjuku Showdown Arc reaches its climax.

Will Yuji finally overpower Sukuna? Will his newfound abilities be enough? Chapter 257 promises to deliver the answers and propel the Jujutsu Kaisen story forward in a thrilling way!
