Jujutsu Kaisen 263: What To Expect From The Chapter (2024)

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 dropped recently and was certainly incredibly exciting, although it was on the shorter side. While this chapter did not make any groundbreaking revelations, it touched upon various interesting things which will be fleshed out more in JJK chapter 263.

Because of that reason, JJK chapter 263 has the attention of all the fans, and it will surely progress the battle between Yuta and Sukuna in many exciting ways that a lot of the fans cannot even imagine. Taking all things into consideration, JJK chapter 263 will have a lot to offer, and it will surely amaze the fans.

Sukuna Vs Yuta Fight Inside The Domain

Yuta Adapts To Sukuna's Fighting Capabilities Inside The Domain

As in the previous chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 will most definitely see Sukuna and Yuta continue their fight inside the Domain. In the previous chapter, both of them expanded their domain to the fullest. Fans were wondering as to whether the solution that Yuta would go for in an attempt to stop Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine was going to be similar to the one utilized by Gojo when their domain battles were going on. JJK's previous chapter answered that question and it was indeed the same method. Essentially, Yuta tried to shrink his domain to the size of a tiny ball, and doing this reinforced his domain from the outside and made it resistant to attacks from Malevolent Shrine.

To counter this, Sukuna also shrunk his domain down, nearly to the size of Yuta's very own, in an attempt to break it faster and then expand his domain to kill everyone around. This is a very difficult battle for both of these characters, and whoever wins out the domain battle is going to be taking great advantage, as they will be able to deal deadly damage to the other person, and potentially deal the telling blow in this battle. Right now, Yuta aims to deal enough damage to Sukuna that he can't keep up using Malevolent Shrine anymore, while Sukuna aims to break the domain from the outside and then crush everyone.

JJK Chapter 263 will most definitely see this fight progress. Fans should not expect the 3 minutes to run out in the next chapter completely, but a significant portion of it will. It is also entirely possible that this domain clash won't even last 3 minutes. The last time Gojo and Sukuna clashed, the breakthrough was made after 2 minutes 40 seconds, with Gojo destroying Malevolent Shrine and landing Unlimited Void on Sukuna. It will be interesting to see which direction this domain clash goes in.

For now, however, more focus will be thrown on hand-to-hand combat, as Sukuna will be utilizing the power of domain amplification to bypass Infinity, while Yuta will now try to get used to Sukuna's fighting style, given that he did not observe how he fought inside the domain when he fought against Gojo. Things are going to be incredibly exciting in this fight from here onwards, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see what these two are going to cook up in terms of hand-to-hand battle inside the domain.

Round 1 Of Domain Clash Ends

Round 1 Of The Domain Clash Could End In A Tie

JJK chapter 263 could potentially see round 1 of the domain clash end. It all depends on how the author wants to continue this domain battle. Fans must remember that when Gojo and Sukuna clashed using their domains, they did so for a total of five rounds. This could be somewhat similar, however, much of it depends on which way the author wants this battle to go. If he wants just one domain clash between these two, then the next chapter will most definitely not end it. However, if there is room for multiple domain clashes, then it should be a guarantee that JJK chapter 263 will conclude this first round of the domain fight. Now, much of that also depends on whether Yuta will utilize the ability to use Reverse Cursed Technique to refill his burnt-out cursed technique.

If he can do that, then he can once again open his domain if this domain clash were to be a tie.

Gojo was able to do that, however, whether being in Gojo's body influences his reverse cursed technique or not remains to be seen. If Yuta can indeed refill his burnt-out technique, then fans can rest assured that this domain class will most likely end in a tie, with both of them unleashing their domains once again in order to stand a better chance against the other.

Whichever way this domain clash goes in the next chapter, fans can rest assured that they will be in for quite a lot of hand-to-hand combat as well as the usage of cursed techniques. Yuta will most likely utilize the power of Red and Blue to the utmost best in the upcoming chapter, while trying to avoid Sukuna's hits from close range. Now that he knows Sukuna can use Amplification inside of the domain, he will most definitely be careful.

What Is Next for Rika?

Rika Could Shift The Tides Of The Battle Completely

A very intriguing plot point that was raised in JJK chapter 262 was concerning Rika. Previously, fans were unsure as to what happened to Rika once Yuta switched bodies. Many fans believe that Rika would stay with Yuta and be manifested from Gojo's body. However, that does not seem to be the case. In the previous after, Rika was seen fully manifested, holding Yuta's corpse and crying. It appears that she thinks of Yuta as a dead individual right now. However, what Rika perceives doesn't have to be the truth. Nobody knows what is going to happen to Yuta after the 5 minutes are up, which means that there could still be hope for her to rejoin the battle.

Rika might be focused on a bit more in the upcoming chapter. If Yuta were to truly die, then Rika could potentially rage, and this might end up being beneficial for the sorcerers, given that they are trying their best to defeat Sukuna right now. The other possibility is Yuta somehow returning to his body once the 5 minutes are up, and Gojo taking control of his body, far-fetched as that may sound at this point in time. This is a possibility regardless and fans need to keep their eyes on that.

Unfortunately, JJK Chapter 263 won't be dropping anytime soon. The author seems to have fallen sick, and has decided to take an extended break. Fans need to wait for 3 weeks before JJK returns, and it is certainly going to be a hard wait. However, it is also important for the author to recover so that he can stay healthy, not be forced to work under pressure, and deliver the manga that he has crafted with so much love in the best way possible.

Jujutsu Kaisen is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263, is set to be June 30, 2024.
