The 202nd chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen will be published at 12 a.m. on Sunday, October 30, 2022. (JST). The chapter is available for free on the Shonen Jump app, as well as the series’ official Viz and Manga Plus websites. In Chapter 201, the Culling Game entered a new era as Kenjaku detailed his plan to unite the world’s nations in opposition to the sorcerers of Japan. These fresh details indicate that the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen may go in a different route than what was anticipated. Insights into the story’s future will presumably be provided in chapter 202.

Overview of Chapter 202 in Jujutsu Kaisen and What to Expect from It
It’s probable that the next chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen will take up with Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Hana Kurusu, and Fumihiko Takaba fighting against the invading hordes in Tokyo No. 2 Colony, where the previous chapter 201 left up. Since Kenjaku might potentially employ Idle Transfiguration to reorganise the troops’ neural pathways and unleash their latent jujutsu abilities, the situation could rapidly deteriorate.
The reactions of other prominent characters in other colonies, such as Yuta Okkotsu, Kinji Hakara, and Maki, to the flood of new players might be revealed in Chapter 202. Lastly, this chapter will likely inform readers on why the proposed rules were ultimately scrapped, including a discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of allowing players to freely move between colonies and even quit the game entirely.
Briefly reviewing Chapter 201
The proceedings in the White House were the only subject of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 201. Kenjaku made an effort to win over the U.S. president by arguing that jujutsu sorcerers might replace polluting energy sources like fossil fuels with a cleaner alternative. Realizing that other countries would soon, if not already, join the bandwagon, the President and his advisors decided to capture sorcerers and utilise them as research samples to investigate cursed energy.
The technical details of the operation were laid forth in Chapter 201, including remarks from U.S. Army Lieutenant General Gary K. Johnson that a single battalion of roughly sixty trained troops would be sufficient to capture the sorcerers. Gary laughed at Kenjaku’s pessimism when he proposed they round up 800 men. The chapter concluded with Kenjaku showing them the full strength of jujutsu by single-handedly defeating 45 elite troops.
