Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 221, which was published in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 22 on April 24 at 12 am JST, fulfilled fans’ long-awaited desire to see Satoru Gojo’s unsealing from the Prison Realm. However, the event did not go according to plan and instead hinted at an impending battle between Gojo and Sukuna, who is currently occupying Megumi’s body.
In the preceding chapter, Kenjaku revealed that Tengen held the key to concluding the Culling Games. He introduced two new rules that would allow the games to end as long as Sukuna and Kenjaku survived. Meanwhile, Shoko Ieiri healed Hana Kurusu, who promised to unseal Gojo. Chapter 221, titled “Gain and Loss,” showcased Gojo bypassing Kenjaku’s precautions and emerging to confront Sukuna.
The chapter began with Angel informing everyone that time does not pass inside the Prison Realm, suggesting that Gojo may have experienced a disorienting mental state during his confinement. To mitigate the risks associated with an unstable Gojo, Shoko and others decided to carry out the unsealing at the open Jujutsu High training ground in Kiroko Mines, Saitama Prefecture. After taking shelter behind barricades, Inumaki initiated the unsealing process with the help of Angel’s Jacob’s Ladder technique. However, when the smoke cleared, Gojo was nowhere to be found.
Hana speculated whether Gojo had perished as an evil entity via Jacob’s Ladder, but the group felt powerful tremors indicating the arrival of someone formidable. In a separate location, Kenjaku reflected on his efforts to conceal the Prison Realm deep within the Japan Trench, surrounded by seals and cursed spirits. However, his plans were thwarted as Gojo suddenly materialized before him.
Gojo immediately launched an attack on Kenjaku but was interrupted by Sukuna, who inhabited Megumi’s body. Sukuna reminded Gojo of his promise to kill him, even in his current vessel. Kenjaku intervened, insisting that Sukuna must fulfill a promise he made. Gojo taunted Sukuna, highlighting how far he had fallen, having fled from Yuji and now taking orders from Kenjaku. Uraume attempted to attack Gojo but was swiftly defeated with a single punch.
Gojo inquired about the current date and proposed scheduling the final battle for December 24. He reminded Kenjaku that since Geto died on that day, his second death should also occur on the same date. Kenjaku wondered if Gojo did not anticipate losing and recalled Yuji questioning whether Gojo would be defeated by a fully incarnated Sukuna. Chapter 221 concluded with Gojo confidently answering both questions with a resounding “No.”
The chapter’s observations include Gojo’s seemingly composed reaction to his ward being possessed by Sukuna, indicating possible acclimatization to loved ones being manipulated as tools. The tragic situation suggests that at least one of these characters may meet a tragic fate. It remains unclear whether the battle on December 24 will involve Gojo and Sukuna or if Gojo will face off against Kenjaku instead. During this time, Gojo will likely regroup with his students and learn about the losses they have suffered, including Yuji’s release and Megumi’s impending death sentence.
The extent of Sukuna’s indebtedness to Kenjaku raises questions about Kenjaku’s power and the scope of his ultimate plan. Notably, Gojo’s changed demeanor implies that a significant amount of time has passed during his confinement, potentially causing mental destabilization. Sukuna’s lack of concern for Uraume reinforces his self-centered nature and singular focus on his goals.
In conclusion, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 221 reveals that Tengen has withheld numerous secrets from his allies, although the motives behind this remain unclear. Despite the unexpected execution of Gojo’s return, its impact remains substantial. The manga will be on a two-week break, but when it resumes, fans can anticipate the highly anticipated reunion between Gojo and Yuji.
