The Battle Rages!
The Chapter starts off with Yuji Itadori failing to stab Sukuna. After all the time fans waited from Chapter 247 and the attack missed. Yuji then gets punched away. After slashing Yuji, Sukuna thinks to himself that he is bored. Yuji then returns with a fully healed stomach. Fans then see Kirara and Ui Ui gathering up Higuruma’s dead body. Sukuna realizes that Ui Ui has instant teleportation and that is what happened to the body of Satoru Gojo.
Ryomen Sukuna finds out that they are sending the wounded to Shoko, but he realizes Yuji’s wounds have healed better than someone else using RCT on him. It then hits him. Yuji has learned the Reverse Curse Technique in under one month! The King Of Curses thinks that he will have some more fun now that Yuji has improved, but he can not ignore a feeling of frustration.
Since the death of Higuruma, Sukuna has been thinking he may miss fighting him. Yuji sees that Sukuna has completely spaced out on the battlefield. Sukuna reminds himself that he does not need anyone, and that killing is just a way to pass the time until he eventually dies himself. He thinks to himself that he never thought of what should be his goal in life. The sorcerers killing him must be their goal. Sukuan thinks back 1,000 years and realizes that people had goals even back then.

Sukuna vs Yuta
Sukuan thinks he is feeling all of this because of Yuji. He knows no matter how many times he destroys Yuji’s spirit, the young sorcerer will always bounce back. Sukuna says that even a weakling can stand up to him if they have a strong will and desire to meet their goals. This makes Sukuna feel severely unpleasant. He declares that he will for sure destroy Yuji Itadori and all he stands for.
A spark of light appears as Kogane announces a new rule. “Megumi Fushiguro now has the authority to activate the merger between Tengen and humanity”. Kusakabe wonders if this is a backup plan from Kenjaku. He concludes that Yuta’s attack on Kenjaku has worked. Kuna then states that he will kill Yuji, then all of the culling game players, and then may even have some fun with the product of the merger with Tengen. Then, out of nowhere, Yuta Okkotsu joins the battlefield!
Sukuan says to Yuta that if he does not kill him, then all of the humans he loves will die. Rika emerges to try and crush Sukua as she asks him who he thinks he is. Sukuan thinks to himself, “So this is the Queen?”. The chapter ends with the editor’s note saying “The King vs Queen of curses! The one who takes the throne will be determined here!”. Jujutsu Kaisen will be on break next week!
