JJK 267 – Is Sukuna Really Dead?

Nobara is alive, Gege just dropped a bombshell on all of us! Jujutsu Kaisen is known for its brutal plot twists, and the Shibuya Incident arc was no exception. 

Mahito killed Nanami and Nobara using his cursed technique. However, her death was never explicitly confirmed. Fans kept coming up with theories about Nobara’s return.

The Jujutsu Kaisen manga is ending soon, only four chapters are left and Gege decided to bring Nobara back from the dead.

The recent JJK chapter JJK 267 ended on a huge cliffhanger. We finally found out that the finger that was shown at the end of JJK 266 is of Sukuna.

Turns out Yuta bluffed about consuming Sukuna’s last finger. It was actually Yuji’s, and Sukuna’s finger was kept hidden until now.

At the end of JJK 267, Nobara used her resonance cursed technique on Sukuna’s last finger, while Yuji used the strongest black flash to ever exist on Sukuna.

The author at the end added remarks claiming the fight has concluded, but is Sukuna really dead?

Did Yuji Kill Sukuna?

As mentioned earlier, the latest chapter spoilers show Yuji using the strongest black flash with Overflowing Cursed Energy (if my translation is correct).

The chapter didn’t show us if Sukuna survived or not, but most likely he did. Since the goal was never to kill Sukuna but to separate Megumi and Sukuna.

With Sukuna unconscious, Yuji can use his dismantle technique within his domain to break the barrier between Megumi and Sukuna’s soul. This technique is almost guaranteed to succeed in his domain.

However, we still don’t know much about Yuji’s domain, even the domain name is also not revealed yet.

As the author mentioned at the end the fight is over, so we can expect the point of view to change to Hakari and Uraume’s fight in the next chapter.

While they fight, Yuji will work out a way to consume Sukuna again to free Megumi. The ending has become quite predictable at this point unless Gege decides to do a complete 360 on us and ends the manga with Sukuna winning.
