Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 249 is certainly going to be one of the most exciting additions to the Culling Game, especially after the shocking turn of events in the previous chapter that fans got to witness earlier this week. After a very long break, JJK returned with chapter 248, which saw Sukuna finally acknowledge Yuji, at the very least, in terms of his indomitable will.
While that part of the chapter was nothing short of exciting, the main surprise came towards the end, when Yuta joined the battle against Sukuna, having successfully killed Kenjaku. Now, the battle between two powerhouses in JJK has finally begun and it is certainly going to be an incredibly exciting fight.
Rika Vs Sukuna
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 249 is most definitely going to tackle the fight between Rika and Sukuna. This is because, at the very end of the previous chapter, fans got to see Rika join the battle along with Yuta. When Yuta arrived on the scene, he used his cursed technique to cause devastation all around him. This was a powerful show of strength from him, even though fans know that he's not as strong as Sukuna. Nonetheless, what fans do know for sure is that Yuta is much stronger than the last time fans saw him. Furthermore, Yuta is not in this battle alone. Rika, who fans know is very close to him, is by his side. Immediately after Sukuna and Yuta traded blows in the previous chapter, Rika was infuriated by the fact that Sukuna took a very offensive tone against the young sorcerer.
As a result, Rika attacked Sukuna with a powerful blow and the King of Curses managed to block this using all his hands. This has already set up an incredible battle between Sukuna and Rika and it will most definitely play out in JJK chapter 249. Fans will get to see what Rika is capable of, especially now, after Yuta himself has trained quite a lot over the course of the last month. At the same time, fans will also get to see how Sukuna fares against Rika, who, just like him, has a fancy title of the Queen of Curses.
Yuta's Newfound Strength
JJK chapter 249 will also most definitely tackle Yuta joining the fight against Sukuna as well. While Rika can certainly fight independently, she works best alongside Yuta in battle and that is going to be the most efficient way to take on the King of Curses. Rika is strong and there is absolutely no doubting that. In fact, she is so strong that Geto believed that if he had the Queen of Curses by his side, he could have pulled off his dream of eliminating all non-sorcerers. Her strength is absolutely magnificent, however, even she would find it hard to kill the King of Curses. As a result, the sorcerers need to put together their strength and attack Sukuna at once and for that reason, it is best that Yuta joins the assault on Sukuna alongside Rika. When these two attack together, they are an impossibly hard force to stop and that is something that fans will get to see in JJK chapter 249.
Fans have already seen Yuji strengthen his skills even further over the course of the last few chapters. He picked up the power to use reverse cursed technique. Similarly, Yuta has likely strengthened even further. This means that the Yuta that fans will see in JJK chapter 249 will be much stronger than when he fought his last battle in the Culling Game arc. What exactly he has learned and how far he has come is something that fans will have to wait to see and it is certainly going to be an exciting turn of events in the story.
Yuji and Yuta Combine Forces
As mentioned earlier, the best way to go about defeating Sukuna is to combine forces and, for that reason, one cannot forget that Yuji is in the battle as well. Yuji cannot simply sit by and let Yuta and Rika take over the battle for him. Instead, it is best that he joins the onslaught on Sukuna in JJK chapter 249. Together, these three can possibly give Sukuna a very tough battle that could end up seeing him being defeated as well.
This might be somewhat difficult for fans to imagine at this point, however, it is something that is very well within the realms of possibilities. Yuta is very strong and so is the Queen of Curses, Rika. When Yuji is thrown into a mix as an oddball who has quite a lot of potential up his sleeve that is waiting to be explored as well as an indomitable will, one would then have a recipe for success.
Of course, defeating Sukuna is still going to be a challenge for anyone, however, against such powerful enemies, the King of Curses is going to have to be careful. Fans can fully expect Sukuna to be pushed to the full extent of his abilities against these powerful figures as there is no one around who is strong enough to defeat him at this point in a one-on-one combat.
Sukuna's Secret Technique?
JJK chapter 249 is most certainly going to focus quite a lot on Sukuna's arsenal of weapons. One thing that fans are curious about is his cursed technique. Fans have seen quite a lot of Sukuna's abilities, such as Cleave, Dismantle, and even the world bisecting slash which he tapped into recently. However, many things about his cursed technique are still a secret. For one, fans do not even know the name of his cursed technique. Furthermore, fans do not know much about how he was able to produce the fire arrow in Shibuya. There are many things that are a mystery at this point when it comes to Sukuna's powers and this could finally be explained during the fight against Yuta and Rita.
Fans will most definitely see this aspect of his power being explored in the fight against the three powerful figures, and it is possible that JJK chapter 249 will give fans some hints pertaining to Sukuna's cursed technique as well as the reason why he's so strong.
All things considered, JJK chapter 249 is going to be incredibly exciting. Fans will get to see an amazing chapter full of some of the most exciting moments, especially now that the main characters are involved in the fighting. Unfortunately, JJK will not be available to read next week as the author of the story is going on yet another break. While this might be hard for some fans to deal with, it is also going to ensure that the author stays healthy.
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 249, is set to be February 4, 2024.
