Chapter 207 of Jujutsu Kaisen left readers hanging as Kenjaku used Suguru Geto’s Curse Manipulation to summon a miniature Uzumaki and pierce Yuki’s stomach. Even though many readers were not confident in Choso’s chances of survival, fans were hoping that the special-grade sorcerer would employ Reverse Cursed Technique to cure herself and survive the struggle. However, mangaka Gege Akutami shocked readers by reversing the tide of opinion on how the conflict would ultimately be resolved.
The leaked chapter 208 spoilers confirm Yuki’s death and show how Kenjaku outwitted them all, leaving readers both saddened and in awe of the villain’s cunning. Spoilers for the next episode of Jujutsu Kaisen show that Yuki has really died and that Kenjaku has been lying about the nature of his third CT all along. Spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen 208 claim that it picks up just where 207 left off, with Kenjaku blasting a hole in Yuki’s stomach. He intends to keep attacking until she is completely defenceless. In the raw scans, Choso and Yuki are shown sitting at a bar in their best attire as Tengen, in the guise of a bartender, suddenly emerges. Upon thinking back on his later brothers and Yuji, the Death Painting sobs bitterly, regretting his life as a curse.
Spoilers indicate that the flashback eventually comes to an end and the action returns to the present when Choso witnesses Yuki’s deadly wounding. When he tries to use a Blood Disc on Kenjaku to protect the A+, Tengen pulls him back from the barrier. After slicing Yuki Tsukumo in half, the small Uzumaki doesn’t kill her, as shown in a raw scan of Chapter 208 of Jujutsu Kaisen. When Tengen faces up to Kenjaku, the villain gets the impression that the eternal sorcerer is comparable to Sukuna, the King of Curses. In the spoilers that have been released so far, we see Yuki make one more attempt to kill the shapeshifting sorcerer by using a devastating Star Rage-related extension method.
The method produces a Black Hole that prevents even light from escaping. Raw scans from chapter 208, however, reveal that Kenjaku was unhurt and simply had his garments torn off. His “gravity,” he tells Tengen, was really a steady flow of the Reverse Cursed Technique applied to Kaori Itadori’s natural “Anti-gravity” ability. When the body-hopping sorcerer employs the cursed method in its purest form, he is able to nullify Yuki’s Black Hole’s effects. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 208’s last spoiler reveals Kenjaku discovering Tengen’s true body curled up inside a tree, asleep. At the end of the chapter, Kenjaku says goodbye to the eternal sorcerer, whom he has come to regard as a friend.
As a conclusion
Spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 208 imply that this will be the final chapter of the current arc. With the release of Chapter 208 in 2022, we will see not only the death of one of the four recognised special-grade sorcerers in the series but also Kenjaku’s successful capture of Tengen, bringing him one step closer to carrying out his plan. An intriguing comparison is made in this chapter between the ancient sorcerer and Satoru Gojo, the only other sorcerer capable of using RCT on the Limitless base form to generate the Cursed Technique Reversal: Red assault.
Since the events of the current arc occur on November 16, and two days in between—November 14 and 16—are unaccounted for following the flood of fresh Culling Game participants—the similarities between Tengen and Sukuna seem to foretell the return of the King of Curses in the plot.
