Will Yuuji live?
Read this article to get all the details about the upcoming chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen manga.
1. Chapter 142 Discussions and Predictions
In the recently released Chapter 141 of Jujutsu Kaisen, we know Yuuji was pinned down by Rika-chan as Yuta drove a sword through his stomach. This situation led the fans to speculate some ideas and they came up with two assumptions:
I. Rika-chan’s True Identity
As we know, Rika-chan was Okkotsu Yuta’s childhood friend who became a vengeful spirit after a car accident and latched onto Yuta. But, according to Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Jujutsu High, Rika’s spirit was cleansed and set free by Yuta.
So, the fans speculate that this Rika-chan might not be the actual Rika but just another powerful spirit who has been given the name Rika by Yuta. Since, this Rika’s cursed appearance is slightly different to that of Rika in the Past.
II. Sukuna’s Smile
In chapter 141, while Yuuji was pinned by Rika, Sukuna woke up and sensed something.
The fans wonder if Sukuna had sensed Megumi approaching the whole situation and if he was arriving there to help Yuuji.
Others speculate that Sukuna might be smiling because of the appearance of Rika-chan, often known in the Jujutsu World as the “Queen of Curses.”
Fans also wonder if Choso will be able to handle Naoya Zenin and his speedy attacks.

5. Recap of Chapter 141
Chapter 141 continues with Yuuji and Yuta’s fight from the previous chapter.
Yuuji found a survival knife from an abandoned SUV and poured all his melee skills he had learned from Gojo-sensei. Yuuji was easily counteracting Yuta’s katana with his knife and Yuta could sense Gojo-sensei’s teachings coming off of Yuuji.
Yuuji realizes he has to get rid of Yuta’s katana and takes a hit on his shoulder to break off it in half. Now, with a broken Katana, Yuta resumes the fight when Rika-chan makes her entry.
She assists Yuta by holding onto Yuuji and Yuuji senses the tremendous power Rika possesses. Yuta finally drives his broken sword through Yuuji’s stomach.
This situation wakes Sukuna up from his sleep and he smirks a little, sensing something.
Later, Naoya questions Choso’s dedication towards the fight when Choso replies by saying that being the oldest of ten siblings he has to protect his brothers.
The chapter ends with a fired up Choso ready to obliterate Naoya Zenin. Will Sukuna help Yuuji? Let’s wait for chapter 142 to find out the truth.
