Expected plot of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 259
As Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 looms, Sukuna’s determination to conclude the battle suggests a climactic showdown. The incredible advantage he holds over Yuji and his allies poses a daunting challenge. We may see Yuta, Hakari, or Urame return to bolster their ranks, providing a glimmer of hope in their struggle against Sukuna.
Alternatively, Sukuna could adopt a more cunning yet craven approach, systematically eliminating the remaining sorcerers to secure his victory. The stakes are high, and the outcome of this showdown will shape the future of the jujutsu world.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258 recap
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258 starts with the narrator recounting the repercussions of Gojo’s adjustments following his encounter with two Black Flashes. The narrator explains that Gojo’s cerebral reorganization helped optimize his Reverse Cursed Technique’s potential. Meanwhile, Sukuna, set to undertake a similar transformation, finds his plans thwarted by Yuji’s relentless assault of Black Flashes, strategically aimed at the boundary between Sukuna’s and Megumi’s souls.
Sukuna’s cunning shines through as he employs a change in palm signs and a Binding Vow to reclaim his Domain Expansion, an ominous harbinger of escalating conflict. The chapter then shows us a flashback, where revelations surface regarding Choso and Yuji’s unique utilization of the Reverse Cursed Technique. They circumvent its inherent drawbacks by adeptly converting Cursed Energy into replenishing blood.
Ui Ui plays a pivotal role in swapping the souls of Yuji and Kusakabe, among others, which emerges as a crucial strategy to enhance Yuji’s combat prowess with Kusakabe imparting his expertise in Cursed Energy Manipulation and Anti-Barrier Techniques to Yuji’s body.

At present, Yuji wields Kusakabe’s Simple Domain to counter Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine. However, Sukuna constructs a barrierless Domain reminiscent of his previous feats in Shibuya and eliminates the escape routes to ensure a decisive strike on the sorcerors.
Amidst the chaos, Yuji confronts the full force of Sukuna’s onslaught, enduring grievous injuries as his Simple Domain shatters, resulting in the loss of his left leg — a setback swiftly rectified by his remarkable regenerative abilities. However, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258 culminates in a cliffhanger as Sukuna unleashes his devastating Divine Flames technique, which he last used in Shibuya.
