The latest leak of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258 has provided profound insights into Ryomen Sukuna’s formidable abilities and delved into the training undergone by sorcerers in preparation for their battle. Spoiler alert: let’s go through the revelations from this amazing chapter.
A significant portion of Chapter 258 focuses on flashbacks, detailing the month-long training period leading up to the confrontation with Ryomen Sukuna.
This flashback confirms how Yuji Itadori and Kusakabe executed a body swap, a scene previously depicted in Chapter 222, facilitated by Ui Ui, Mei Mei’s younger brother possessing a unique Cursed Technique.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258 Reveals Yuji’s Training and Potential Body Swap
Kusakabe swapped bodies with Yuji to facilitate the latter’s learning of Simple Domain and enhance his grasp of fundamental Cursed Technique concepts.
Interestingly, the chapter also reveals that Yuji had the opportunity to swap with one more person during this timeframe, leading fans to speculate that it could have been Satoru Gojo. Given Gojo’s exceptional talent in Cursed Energy Manipulation, this theory has garnered attention despite inherent challenges.
However, certain major issues arise from the notion of Yuji swapping with Gojo, considering Gojo’s genetic predisposition to abilities like Infinity and the Six Eyes. These abilities are intrinsic to Gojo’s Gojo clan heritage, making it unlikely for Yuji to acquire them through a body swap.
For specific techniques like Blood Manipulation (related to Cursed Womb heritage) or the Reverse Cursed Technique, Yuji could have potentially benefited more from swapping with specialists like Choso or Ioiro Shoko.
The recent spoilers from Chapter 258 shed light on Yuji Itadori’s significant growth during the month of training, enabling him to master Blood Manipulation, the Reverse Cursed Technique, and Simple Domain. This rapid development, although offscreen, underscores Yuji’s evolution as a sorcerer.
This development also highlights the relevance of Ui Ui in empowering other sorcerers and enhancing their capabilities.
The revelation surrounding Yuji and Kusakabe’s body swap addresses a long-standing curiosity among fans and enriches the narrative by deepening our understanding of character dynamics and training dynamics.
