In the last moments of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 208, Kenjaku emerged victorious over Yuki and Choso in the struggle for the Tombs of the Star Corridor. When confronted by Tengen, the villain remarked on the physical resemblance between the eternal sorcerer and Sukuna. Fans hoped that being the last chapter in the current arc, chapter 209 would include updates on the situation in the colonies and maybe disclose what happened between the two days between the flood of new participants in the Culling Game and Kenjaku’s arrival at the Star Corridor. Details about Yuji and Megumi’s positions have been revealed thanks to the spoilers that have been released online.
What do chapter 209 of Jujutsu Kaisen spoilers show us about the Culling Game?
The title page of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 209, which was leaked online, features a number of vehicles and aircraft transporting warriors to the colonies, with the chapter’s subtitle, “An Offering to the Unknown.” As soon as the tanks pass through the obstacles, a number of Kogane come and identify themselves as participants in the Culling Game. It appears like Kenjaku and Uraume have reunited, as they are shown in the raw scans ascending a set of stairs and emerging from a chamber that looks suspiciously like the cellar where Ogi Zenin had thrown in Maki and Mai to have them slain by cursed spirits.
Iori Hazenoki, Hiromi Higuruma, and Rin Amai, all veterans of the Culling Game who are not likely aware of the newcomers to the hunt, are also visible in the scans. Remi, the first sorcerer to be kidnapped, is assaulted by troops while hiding in a hotel room. The troops electrocute her and inject her with a mysterious substance before she can respond. Spoilers for chapter 209 of Jujutsu Kaisen reveal that the military has captured numerous sorcerers by neutralising them, and then loading them onto trucks to be transferred. One soldier, in particular, stands out.
During his battle with the soldiers, Hazenoki recalls Reggie’s warning from chapter 167 that Kenjaku will drop a bomb on the last remaining sorcerers. This is shown in the raw scans.
Spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 209 suggest that Kenjaku and Uraume are conspiring against each other and that the former has unleashed additional cursed spirits in every barrier, just like he did in Shibuya. While Hana Kurusu and Angel in Tokyo No. 1 Colony appear bewildered by the sudden rush of new players, Takaba remarks that his fame must have sent these individuals in his direction.
When military personnel chase after the escaping sorcerers, Yuji deflects a stun grenade by kicking it upwards. In the chapter’s finale, as Megumi readies for an attack, Takaba blocks a bullet from one of the soldiers.
Finally, some thoughts
Spoilers for the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 209 reveal that it will inform readers of the sorcerers’ response to the military’s arrival in the colonies on November 14. It appears that the following chapter will concentrate on the Tokyo No. 1 Colony, with subsequent chapters devoting their attention to the individual colonies in turn. In addition, the spoilers imply that Kenjaku and Uraume seized the other cursed spirits in the Zenin warehouse and unleashed them among the colonies. In order to break the impasse and restart the Culling Game, it is clear that the body-hopping sorcerer tricked the governments into sending in their warriors as fodder.
