This battle has all the fans excited, as not only does it open up another door for witnessing a high-level clash, just like the very first battle of Shinjuku Showdown, but at the same time, this one might hold the key to defeating the King of Curses all together.
Updated on July 26, 2025:With Yuta vs Sukuna closing in, here’s how we think the upcoming battle between these two giants is going to go in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262.
Yuta Vs Sukuna Begins
Yuta Vs Sukuna Clash With Their Domains
JJKchapter 262 will most certainly beginwith a clash between Yuta and Sukuna. Fans know for a fact that Yuta is now in Gojo’s body and that he isinfinitely stronger than before. With thepower of the Six Eyes, he has much better control over cursed energy, and at the same time, he can see cursed energy down to its very intricate details. Furthermore, he also has access to theLimitless cursed technique, as was seen previously. Meanwhile, Sukuna got access to his domain as well, and he, too, is in much better shape than he was before.
My apologies! It seems I’ve underestimated you. I didn’t think you were capable of going this far…Okkotsu Yuta!
Furthermore,Sukuna gets stronger when the challenges get harder, and with Gojo’s return to the battlefield, he will most certainly deliver in exciting ways. Fans are set for a domain clash inJJKchapter 262, and this one might just give theanswer to defeating Sukuna. Fans have seen many domain clashes between Gojo and Sukuna in the past. While Gojo initially struggled, he found a way to counterSukuna’s domain, and he did so by reinforcing the barrier from the inside and reducing the size of the domain as much as he possibly could, shrinking everything inside, just like the prison realm.
This time around, Yuta could use something similar. Regardless, fans are excited for this domain battle to finally begin and it will deliver exciting results, and more importantly, fans will get to seeMalevolent Shrine against Unlimited Voidonce again, in a battle for supremacy.
Yuta’s Answer To Sukuna’s Open Barrier Domain
Yuta Could Have Crafted A Special Domain Of His Own
As was mentioned before,JJKChapter 262 is going to be focusing on Yuta’s answer to Sukuna’s open barrier domain. Fans know thatSukuna is like a painterwho uses the open air as a canvas. His domain gives him incredible range and allows him to do devastating damage to everyone within the vicinity. He can even chop down things that don’t have cursed energy, which would otherwise be impossible inside a closed-barrier domain. However, the only downside to this is that anyone who can escape the effective range of the domain will be safe. That said, usually, this doesn’t affect Sukuna at all, given that he’s able to destroy anyone who is within the vicinity.
What I’m saying is you might have been born into a higher family than me, so if you don’t succeed spectacularly, it’ll look bad.
Gojo faced quite a lot of trouble dealing with Malevolent Shrine at first; however, he was able to figure out a way around it, and it appears that Yuta will have figured out the answer as well. This was teased in the previous chapter, where the narrator clearly stated that Gojo should not face any problems in this regard.Fans should fully expect Unlimited Void to hold up against Malevolent Shrine, and, it could be in one of two ways.
It is entirely possible that Yuta will open his domain just like Gojo, and try to shrink it down and reinforce the inner barrier. This is one way to deal with Sukuna’s domain. However, it is also possible forYuta to manifest an open barrier domainhimself instead. This is something that Gojo could not do, however, he did mention in the previous chapter that Yuta is from a higher bloodline and he could potentially have talent that even Gojo.
Yuta can potentially manifest an open barrier Unlimited Void, which would then make it much stronger and it would pose all sorts of problems with the King of Curses. This clash then becomes infinitely more exciting, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see how it would proceed in that case.
It is also possible that fans will see more than just one domain clash in the upcoming chapter. It must be remembered that Gojo and Sukuna engaged in multiple domain clashes before, but neither of them was able to use a domain again. Something similar could end up happening here, but it is also entirely possible that theauthor will take a completely different approachthis time around, which would also offer a breath of fresh air to the fans and make this battle much more exciting.
The Answer To Yuta’s Time Limit
Yuta’s Time Limit Could Be Revealed In JJK 262
One of the biggest mysteries right now in the Shinjuku Showdown clashbetween Yuta and Sukuna is aboutYuta’s body hopping time limit.Fans know that Yuta has utilized Kenjaku’s technique to jump to Gojo. However, the time limit for which Rika can be fully manifested is 5 minutes and that means he canutilize Copy for 5 minutesas well. Once the 5 minutes are up, it is unknown what exactly is going to happen to Yuta. Fans do not know if he’s going to die immediately if he’s going to die a slow death, or if he will get to stay in Gojo’s body forever. The answer is not clear at this point in time, but fans will surely find out more about that as the story progresses.
Depending on how further Gege takes the story inJJKchapter 262, fans could potentially find out the answer to this question. In that case,the fate of this battle and Shinjuku Showdownas a whole will be made very clear to the fans and that truly is going to be very exciting. Right now, fans of Yuta are on the edge of their seats because this character could very well end up dying soon enough. However, it is also possible for the author to shock the fans andensure Yuta’s survival if Sukuna falls before him. Things are incredibly exciting in JJK right now, and now, fans can expect a few chapters consecutively before the series goes on another break.
It can be safely saidthat Shinjuku Showdown is now just as intenseas it was at the beginning when Gojo versus Sukuna began. These two mammoths are about to go at it once again, and even if it’s Yuta in charge of Gojo’s body, the fact that he is physically there makes this clash all the more exciting. Fans absolutely cannot wait to see what direction the author goes in and how this affects the conclusion of the story as a whole. Right now, the chapter is incredibly close, and all fans need to do is sit back patiently and wait for the release.
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 theManga Plusapp. The release date for the next chapter of JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262, is set to be August 04, 2025.
