Jujutsu Kaisen has been on a rampage of slowly killing off his entire roster. It began with the Shibuya Incident arc and then reached its peak in the Culling Games arc. It is as if Gege Akutami is averaging a dead body in every 8-10 chapters. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 247 saw Hiromi Higuruma evolve in his battle with Ryomen Sukuna and hold him off on his own but ultimately fell to his death.
The fans always have a fear lurking around them. Due to the continuous death spree, they have stopped choosing a favourite character just to reduce their suffering. But it looks like the suffering will continue for some time. A rumor surrounding the death of another popular Jujutsu Kaisen character has surfaced online, and fans are not ready for it.
Kinji Hakari Might Enter Gege Akutami’s Hit List
Kinji Hakari is one of the Jujutsu sorcerers whom Satoru Gojo declared could surpass him one day. Even though he is a third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, he lacked discipline and developed bad habits. For that reason, he was suspended for some time. But during the Culling Games arc, Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro found him and asked him to join them, which he did after much persuasion.
Kinji Hakari appears to be a normal ill-mannered sorcerer, but he possesses one of the strongest Cursed Techniques that is based on luck. His innate technique is known as the Private Pure Love Train ability, which is a pachinko-themed technique that boosts his Domain Expansion, Idle Death Gamble. When in his Idle Death Gamble, he will continuously try to line up three same numbers in a lottery-themed jackpot. His chances of hitting the jackpot are 1/239.

Hitting the jackpot will make Kinji Hakari invincible for 4 minutes and 11 seconds. Nobody could kill him, and he would have an infinite amount of Cursed Energy. He can instantly grow an arm with the Reversed Cursed Technique within these few minutes. As a result, he is regarded as one of the most potent sorcerers still alive in Jujutsu Kaisen. So, fans fear that he might become Gege Akutami’s next target.
Since he is targeting the fan-favorite characters, there is a possibility that Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248 could be the start of Kinji Hakari’s end. It might be finally the moment where Kinji Hakari’s luck runs out for the first and only time in his life. Moreover, he was last seen fighting Uraume, who is Sukuna’s right-hand man and could have several tricks up his sleeves.

Fans React to the Jujutsu Kaisen Rumour
The latest Jujutsu Kaisen character to drop dead is Hiromi Higuruma. But there is still one task that could help the other sorcerer be alive and well upon its completion. That task is to kill Ryomen Sukuna. Even though the end of chapter 247 looks like Yuji had managed to stab the King of Curses with Executioner’s Sword, the fans need confirmation. If Yuji fails, then they could imagine that Hakari will be the next sorcerer to die. Social media is in turmoil after hearing the rumor.
don’t give gege ideas 😭✋

Jujutsu Kaisen is in its final stretch. Gege Akutami has confirmed at Jump Festa 2024 that they will try to finish the manga before 2025. It also hints that more than half of the characters in anime might already be dead. For the moment, the fans are eagerly looking for to chapter 248.
