Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 is scheduled to release on August 18th, 2024. The chapter will continue featuring Yuji Itadori vs. Ryomen Sukuna. The fight is about to enter its climax, with the former having the upper hand on the King of Curses. While the fans are happy to see the protagonist living up to his potential, another incident has left them devastated.
Even though the chapter is yet to be released officially, the leaked scans have shown that the protagonist managed to have a conversation with Fushiguro after listening to the latter’s soul. But the fans were distressed when they found Yuji Itadori talking to kid Megumi Fushiguro. The background was the same as when Gojo conversed with kid Fushiguro.
Megumi Fushiguro Might Not Live To See The End
Fans believe the Ten Shadows user might soon kick the bucket after the flashback. In the flashback, kid Fushiguro asked Itadori the same question he asked Satoru Gojo. He asked, “What’s with the face?” and Itadori replied, “Without you, I would be lonely, Fushiguro.” It might signify that Megumi will die soon, and the protagonist will wind up alone. Gege Akutami once said that everyone will be alive with the protagonist dead, or vice versa.
With the leaked scans, it might not be wrong to say that the mangaka is going in that direction. The fans have started to brace themselves for another impact. The background setting resembling Megumi and Satoru Gojo’s conversation also created a strong influence on the situation. While the previous conversation was funnier, the current one is more emotional. Yuji Itadori has lost almost everyone close to him.
Megumi Fushiguro is the only one having a chance at survival, and Itadori wants to gamble on it. He is not ready to lose another friend and battle the King of Curses with all his might. The fandom feels that Gege Akutami has never been attached to the characters. They might kill the character just for Yuji to get a massive upgrade. Everyone is habituated to their writing style, so they are preparing for the worst-case scenario.
Fans React To Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266 Leaks
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 leaks spread like wildfire. Yuji’s managing to uplift Megumi’s soul had given the fans motivation to continue reading the manga. But soon after, they saw the conversation and have been disheartened. Since the Shibuya Incident arc, there have been countless deaths, and Megumi’s death would create a hollow in the fandom. The fans commented on social media, claiming Fushiguro might die soon.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 leaks have also shown Megumi’s wish to give Tsumiki a better life. Before the conclusion, it was revealed that Ryomen Sukuna’s last finger was still missing and might be with Yuji Itadori. Sukuna insulted Yuji on multiple occasions, and in the present day, it is the protagonist who holds the final key. With a massive upgrade, Sukuna might finally fall before Yuji.
Jujutsu Kaisen is available on Viz Media as of August 16, 2024.
