Jujutsu Kaisen fans are bracing themselves for the last episode of season 2. It was one crazy ride since the start of the Shibuya Incident arc. The bodies kept piling up, and even though the fans were grief-stricken, they could not help but get sucked into Gege Akutami’s magnum opus. Amidst such development, the Jujutsu Kaisen creator has confirmed that they will try to finish the manga before 2025.
The Culling Games has already grabbed everyone’s attention, and steadily, it is reaching its end, too. Hiromi Higuruma and Yuji Itadori are facing the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. After Kenjaku was killed by Yuta Okkotsu, this fight became the center of attraction. But raw scans of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 247 indicate that Ryomen Sukuna may have found his next victim.
Hiromi Higuruma and Yuji Itadori vs. Ryomen Sukuna Is Reaching Its Conclusion
Hiromi Higuruma and Yuji Itadori vs. Ryomen Sukuna is the current interesting fight. People were disappointed not to see the fight sooner since the manga shifted its focus to Kenjaku vs Fumihiko Takaba. After much waiting, the fans got their wish fulfilled. More than Yuji Itadori, Sukuna and the fans were shocked to see the progress of Higuruma.

The fans got a taste of Higuruma’s abilities during his fight with Yuji, but this time, he surpassed himself. He learned the Reversed Cursed Technique, and his Executioner’s Sword impressed Sukuna. The raw scans of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 247 showed that Higuruma was fighting with Sukuna and got heavily pounded. After a certain point, Sukuna was just using his slashed to cut Higuruma’s arms and asking him to heal himself.
The fight was getting too tiring for him, and he was starting to lose his balance. Hiromi Higuruma improved a lot during the fight, but the King of Curses was on a different level. Before falling down to his death, he threw his Executioner’s Sword towards Yuji, who launched a surprise attack on Sukuna and stabbed him. The Jujutsu Kaisen fans were taken aback by Hiromi Higuruma’s death and took social media by storm.
Fans React To Hiromi Higuruma’s Death in Jujutsu Kaisen
The Jujutsu Kaisen fandom is habituated with the deaths of their beloved characters. But they feel like Gege Akutami is milking the cow too much with the continuous deaths of fan-favorite characters. Higuruma was starting to get some attention, and at that moment, he was killed. The social media was not quiet after seeing such developments. One of the X (formerly Twitter) users wrote that it was one of the instances where the manga wasted yet another character full of potential.
Another wasted potential

Hiromi Higuruma became an important character in a short time. Considering that he developed Cursed Energy some time back, how quickly he progressed was surprising. Maybe Gege Akutami could have used the character a bit more, but no one can argue that he was facing the King of Curses in his original form. More information will be revealed in the next chapter.
