What Happened Before Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266

Before getting into the leaks for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266, hereā€™s what went down in Chapter 265. This should help set the stage and make the new leaks make more sense.

During Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 265, we see Yuji walk Sukuna through memories, showing him places from his past and sharing stories. His goal with these stories was to give Sukuna a better understanding of the characters in his life and how they impacted his upbringing. He expected this to help Sukuna find value in people, but quickly he realized it wouldnā€™t happen.

Sukuna is unphased and vows to destroy Yuji and everyone he loves. Yuji is left with no choice and says that he plans to kill Sukuna and save Megumi, but he leaves The King of Curses with an offer to return to his body and heā€™ll spare him.

It’s obvious Sukuna isnā€™t interested in this dual, and this has set to stage for Chapter 266 to continue the conflict between these two powerful characters.

According to leaks shared on social media ahead of release, Chapter 266 will begin with Yuji listening to Megumiā€™s soul where he explains his goal was to create a new world for his sister. His soul also reveals to Yuji what his dream world would look like including homemade food, clothes, and being with his friends.

The battle begins between Yuji and Sukuna as the King of Curses opens with Hollow Wicker Basket. This technique allows him to defend against Yujiā€™s domain while the pair engage in a fistfight. Sukuna is angered by Yujiā€™s disrespect.

Leaks then show a conversation between Yuji and a younger version of Megumi. Back to the battle where Sukuna begins to descend into a shadow on the ground. He is visibly shocked. Yuji uses this opening to land more shots. Sukuna says that he should have the advantage as heā€™s the best sorcerer but Yuji isnā€™t phased, he vows to break Megumi free.

Yujiā€™s claws break off signaling to him that Sukunaā€™s Cursed Technique is back. Instantly the King of Curses attempts to use his domain expansion but feels something is off. The final page of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266 shows Sukunaā€™s finger tied up in a building.
