Spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 213
At the beginning of this chapter, Sukuna has come to terms with the strength and potential of Megumi’s curse method, but he has also encountered resistance from Megumi. Like Yuuji, he thinks of Megumi as a prison rather than a vessel, which is why Sukuna waited for the ideal time to possess him. Megumi’s heart also breaks at this time. First of all, Sukuna could have fed his cursed finger to Megumi, but it wouldn’t have been the same as Yuuji battling with Sukuna to regain control of the ship. Instead, the hijacker (Sukuna) waited until the time when our guy, Megumi’s soul cracked. We’ve hypothesised about this for a while, like Sukuna being interested in Megumi for the Ten Shadows, that sort of had to be it, right? So this is like, partly the disclosure of Sukuna’s plan, at least for Megumi, I mean this isn’t the complete depth of it, but this is a lot of it.
And we thought, Oh is he going to use this to like materialise himself or something, and that may happen, and I mean he doesn’t do that in this chapter, but what he does with Ten Shadows is fairly remarkable, and we’ll get into that. I’m curious as to whether or not Sukuna had foreknowledge of the events leading up to Megumi’s Soul Snap and how he would utilise that chance to seize control of Megumi’s body and mind, or whether he was only patiently waiting for that moment to arrive. I really hope we get a revelation of how much Sukuna informed everyone in advance, or at least how much he told him and our folks, since he didn’t know, it was going to be this but turned out to be that. Takaba and Maki were the first to see that Sukuna was hitting Yuuji as they walked between buildings.
Absolutely devastating. Sukuna is flinging Yuuji like he’s from Dragon Ball Z; this is certainly the most devastating blow he’s ever suffered, and it appears he’s done; I don’t think Yuuji will be active for the next couple of chapters.
He seemed to have been completely shattered by this development and would require some sort of plot intervention in order to recover. The first thing we see as Sukuna rematerializes is his saying, “No matter whose Era it is, insects will always push onward,” which he also mentions later in the chapter. Next, Sukuna calls upon Nue, who turns out to be as tall as a skyscraper. You read that correctly. Sukuna utilises the Ten Shadows to call upon the Nue, but the creature he conjures is nothing like the Nue we’re used to seeing when Megumi employs the same method. In fact, the Neu that Sukuna calls upon looks an awful lot like Mothra—and no, that’s not an exaggeration. I can’t believe it can sit on top of a skyscraper, that’s how large it is. I won’t go into detail right now, but this is simply the latest of ten things he can conjure. Then Hana arrives, and we discover that Sukuna has been using Neu’s power to shoot massive lightning bolts across the battlefield.
We observe Hana yell at Angel to activate the Purification Light by claiming that he is Megumi, but we later learn that the light is useless since Megumi is actually “The Fallen Angel” in this same instant. During the chant, Hana is instructed to remove Sukuna and destroy him using the Curse Technique. This is a fairly crazy moment when Neu causes lightning to fall upon the city and is just about to strike Maki and Takaba until… When Angel appears, she casts a spell called Purification Light, which may or may not remove Angel’s ability. I guess it’s blocking to lighting, but Hana also says not to use it because it’s Megumi and removing someone’s curse technique could cause death, but Hana says to use the curse technique to peel off Sukuna and erase him because we also found out that Angel’s technique could be used in this way, but when Angel’s curse technique activates, it’s insane… The whole sky is consumed by it. Using the trumpet as a chanting aid, Hana begins to peel away Sukuna as soon as she activates it.
She proclaims to the world that the only person Megumi belongs to is herself, and immediately after, a voice is heard saying, “I remembered,” and the Sukuna marks on Megumi’s body begin to fade. Thank you, everything is all okay now, Megumi says to Hana, who is of course still a part of Sukuna. Despite Angel’s warning, Hana went ahead and hugged Megumi. Sukuna opens her lips wide and swallows Angel the second she embraces Megumi. The editor adds, “Never Forget the True Nature of the Curse,” as a closing remark to the chapter. Thus, Angel’s curse method failed to separate Sukuna from Megumi. Sukuna is still around, and as stated above, he will eat Angel by making his head enormous and opening his mouth wide. Therefore, he is either a cursed spirit or a being similar to Tengen!! We still don’t know, and this doesn’t help us any, but this could be Sukuna’s Curse Technique, which is crazy because we were also speculating about this for a while: Sukuna might have the cursed technique where he eats people and gains their curse techniques since he already possesses at least two of them (fire, cleave, and dismantle). And we believed we saw what looked like a mouth on his stomach; it was blurry, but it seemed to fit with the original Sukuna’s mythology, so we went with it. I never completed my research on it, but this seems like it may be the case, like Sukuna eating you to learn your curse skill.
