In the latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Chapter 257, mangaka Gege Akutami has dropped some major bombshells that have sent shockwaves through the fandom.
One of the most astonishing revelations is that Sukuna, the King of Curses, had a twin brother whom he devoured while still in their mother’s womb. Furthermore, the soul of this twin brother has been reincarnated as Jin Itadori, Yuji’s father.
This revelation adds a whole new dimension to the relationship between Sukuna and Yuji, as it implies that Yuji is not only Sukuna’s vessel but also his nephew. Akutami also reveals that Sukuna and Jin share the same Cursed Technique, which opens up a plethora of possibilities for future plot developments.
Another significant moment in Chapter 257 is Yuji’s unprecedented display of Black Flash. Black Flash is an incredibly powerful and visually stunning technique that amplifies the user’s cursed energy output. Yuji manages to perform eight consecutive Black Flashes, a feat that no other character, including Sukuna, has been able to accomplish.
Yuji’s mastery over Black Flash has left fans clamoring for a fight between him and Sukuna that exclusively utilizes this technique. Fans envision a clash of two Black Flashes, an event that would undoubtedly be the pinnacle of Jujutsu Kaisen combat.
Whether Akutami will grant this wish remains to be seen, but the prospect of a Black Flash-fueled battle between Sukuna and Yuji is tantalizing to say the least.
