The Cursed Child Arc’s protagonist, Yuta Okkotsu, is gradually becoming the main series’ tritagonist, as confirmed by the leaked spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 174. As of this writing, the manga is focused on Yuta’s struggle in the Sendai Colony after focusing on Yuji and Megumi’s fight in the Tokyo No. 1 Colony part. Both Myamura @ king jin woo and Ducky @IDuckyx gave genuine spoilers last week for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 174, which leaked on Twitter today. Despite the lack of specifics, they offer everyone an excellent notion of what to expect in the next chapter.

Tokyo No. 1 Colony ended in Chapter 173, and the story now turns to the Sendai Colony. Reggie Star handed Megumi Fushiguro his 41 points before he died, boosting her total to 51 points. When Hazenoki heard about Reggie’s death, he walked away from the battle with Takaba and left the region. Takaba’s curse method, “Comedian,” could make an idea come true if he thought it was hilarious. If only the comic Gojo Satoru was aware of his own abilities, this trick may have been on par with his.
Recalling Tsumiki’s hatred for unneeded bloodshed, Megumi pursued Remi with his Divine Dog. Injuries to his body quickly knocked him out of consciousness. Angel, another name for Hana Kurusu, loomed above the writhing boy.
Yuta Okkotsu kills one of the reincarnated sorcerers in Sendai, ending a four-way standoff between them and a Cursed Spirit. It is widely believed that Yuta, who is presently second only to Gojo in terms of prodigy status, has killed at least seven people.

It appears that chapter 174 of the manga, titled “Sendai Barrier,” may be translated as “Sendai Colony.” When a swarm of cockroaches attacks, they are viewed as a danger, and Yuta steps in to rescue the day. Kurourushi, the cursed spirit that Yuta encountered in the previous episode, has the capacity to appear in front of her. Before the young sorcerer comes, Kurourushi’s insects eat a large number of people.
With the assistance of Rika Orimoto, he prepares to face the Cursed Spirit. It’s been suggested in spoilers that this fight would take centre stage in the chapter, but no specifics have been provided at the time of writing. Because he wants to impose four new regulations, Yuta aims to acquire 400 points. Megumi came up with two of them: one rule to foster communication between participants, and another to allow players to enter and depart the Culling Game at their own discretion. ‘
Yuji has already taken advantage of the third rule they decided to apply, which permits players to transfer points. No one knows which new regulations Yuta feels are required, but he has decided to murder Kenjaku himself in order to save Gojo from having to kill his closest friend a second time. While Kurourushi laid dormant until the initial circumstances were met in Chapter 173, it did not reveal what those conditions were. Assuming the teasers are to be believed, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 174 opens with Yuta and the Cursed Spirit fighting, indicating that the prerequisites have been satisfied.
Because Kurourushi is already registered as a Special Grade curse and Yuta is a Special Grade sorcerer, the struggle between the two is expected to be exciting. Tsumiki and other players will be able to leave the Culling Game if Megumi’s two rules are applied. It’s safe to conclude that Yuta’s two extra regulations have anything to do with his scheme to assassinate Kenjaku. The fact that Gojo would be killing his closest buddy a second time if he killed Kenjaku shows that Getou is still alive and well within Kenjaku. It’s hoped that this issue will be addressed in future chapters.
The manga is said to be taking a vacation next week, but that can’t be verified until the release of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 174 on February 6. Manga Plus, vis, and the Shonen Jump app all have the chapter available for free to readers.
