Chapter 148 showed us the epic father-daughter duel within the Zenin clan. Maki’s father bluntly said that he couldn’t become the Zenin clan’s head because of his two good-for-nothing daughters.
Maki managed to slice through his katana, but it wasn’t enough to stop him. Is the veteran sorcerer really going to stain his hand with the blood of his daughters? We bring you the latest chapter updates for this manga.
1. Chapter 149 Discussions and Predictions
In Chapter 149, the duel between Maki and his father is going to get pretty ugly. The veteran sorcerer is skilled enough to continue this fight even with a broken katana.
I doubt if anyone can keep up with Maki when it comes to fighting with cursed weapons. Ao, Maki surely has the advantage for now. However, after seeing Mai’s condition, it’s clear that he is not going to hold back.
Even if he succeeds, how will he justify killing his daughters to the jujutsu world? I think he is planning to put the blame on Megumi since trying to free Gojo isn’t a good enough reason to kill the Zenin clan’s leader.

The raw scans and spoilers for chapter 149 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga have been leaked, and the rough translation goes like this: The chapter is titled “Perfect Preparation Part 2.”
Maki’s father drags the two girls to a secret room that has been used by the Zenin clan for punishment since the early days. Maki and Mai are surrounded by cursed spirits who are there to devour them.
With no other option left, Mai uses up all her cursed energy and forges a cursed weapon for Maki. The next thing we see is Maki blasting out through the door and taking his father head-on.
It seems that the father-daughter duel is going to get pretty ugly.

5. Chapter 148 Recap
Chapter 148 starts with Naoya, Maki’s cousin, who ridicules her for her burnt face. He even reminds him of how he used to bully her in their childhood days.
Not getting enough attention from Maki, Naoya asks her if she wants to continue being Okkotsu and Megumi’s lapdog. Maki realizes that Naoya will keep on barking, so she heads towards the Cursed Warehouse.
Her mother stops her and says that she isn’t allowed to enter there. The old woman begs her to do as she said, and make her proud this one time. Maki refuses and says that the head of the Zenin clan has granted her permission.
The next panel shows a flashback scene where Maki turns down Megumi’s offer to become Zenin clan’s new head. She just asks for permission to access the Cursed Warehouse and leaves.
Back in the present, Maki enters the warehouse to find her father waiting to kill her. Mai is seen lying on a pool of blood, and she asks Maki to run for her life.
Maki isn’t someone who can abandon her injured sister at a moment like this. She draws out an overpowered cursed tool called ‘Dragon Bone’ and spars with his father.
Meanwhile, Naoya is concerned about Megumi’s growing popularity as the clan leader. He has already forged a good relationship with the Gojo clan and the Kamo clan; if this continues, it will be impossible to overthrow Megumi from his position.
Then again, if they dispose of Megumi without any good reason, they will fall behind in this shifting of power.
So, he plans to make good of the rule passed on the Jujutsu Headquarters, which states,
“Anyone who tries to free Satoru Goju will be executed.”
Naoya feels the urgency of killing Megumi, Mai, and Maki, and that’s why he has sent his father to do it by his own. He adds that this was originally his father’s idea in the first place.
Back to the ongoing father-daughter duel, Maki slices through his father’s katana and breaks it. However, he manages to counter-attack with that broken katana, using the technique, “Falling Blossom Emotion.”
In that final panel of the chapter, he blames his daughters for not becoming the head of the Zenin Clan when he had the opportunity.
