After three years, Gojo Satoru returns to the story in chapter 221 of Jujutsu Kaisen. His return to the series was worth the wait, and Gojo wasted no time preparing to fight against Sukuna and Kenjaku. Though Angel assumed he would be mentally unstable, Gojo seemed more pumped than ever.
Chapter 221 sets up the final fight between Gojo and Sukuna, but readers must wait for the hiatus to end to learn what happens next. Here are the latest updates.
1. Chapter 222 Raw Scans, Leaks
Chapter 222 of Jujutsu Kaisen is titled ‘Omen’. Sukuna consumes the remaining four fingers and deduces that Gojo must have hidden the last finger to save Yuji from execution, as Yuji had to consume all fingers.
Sukuna decided to compensate using the mummified body Kenjaku and Tengen found. Kenjaku learns that 61 players have died in the culling game due to Cursed technique removal. Gojo learns about Nanami’s death, and Takuma Ino arrives to tell Gojo something about Nanami.
On the other hand, Yuji is training with Kusakabe. Yuta Okkotsu tells Inumaki that he did not tell Yuji about Inumaki’s arm because he did not want Yuji to blame himself for what Sukuna did.
On December 24, Kenjaku reveals his plan to get rid of the remaining culling game players while Gojo fights Sukuna. According to him, if Gojo loses, the other sorcerers will try to fight the weakened Sukuna, allowing him to work freely for some time.
Lastly, at Jujutsu High, Gojo arrives with Gakuganji and Utahime, and all the students express their support, with Yuta saying he would join in if needed.
2. Chapter 222 Speculation
I. Gojo vs. Sukuna
Now that Gojo is back and already in battle with Sukuna, the next chapter will show the remainder of the fight, which might be the last. Gojo was confident that he would win, but that was before Sukuna took control of Megumi’s body and obtained his skills. To defeat Sukuna means placing Megumi’s life at risk.
II. Gojo vs. Kenjaku
Gojo will fight against Geto/Kenjaku later in the series; this battle might occur after Sukuna has been defeated unless Kenjaku intervenes in the battle between Sukuna. Since this is a much-awaited battle, it is bound to be long and packed with immeasurable power, given their strength.
III. Gojo’s Time in the Prison Realm
The next chapter might reveal what Gojo went through when he was sealed and how much time has passed. His extreme determination and quick thinking hint that he must have been through a significant event that caused a change in his mental state.
3. Chapter 222 Release Date
Chapter 222 of Jujutsu Kaisen will be released on Sunday, May 14, 2023. Jujutsu Kaisen is a weekly manga published in the Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. It is usually released every Sunday.
I. Is Jujutsu Kaisen on break this week?
Yes, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 222 is on a break this week and will be released on the above-stated date. The break will be due to the Golden Week holidays beginning in Japan, causing a delay in the publication of the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
4. Where to Read Jujutsu Kaisen
The manga can be read online on the Shonen Jump website and the Shonen Jump app for iOS and Android.
5. Chapter 221 Recap
Angel informed everyone that time does not pass inside the Prison realm, and hence the last 19 days could have felt like a century for Gojo, driving him into a chaotic psychological state. Recognizing the risks of an unstable Satoru Gojo, Shoko and others agreed to hold the unsealing in the open Jujutsu High training ground at Kiroko Mines in Saitama Prefecture.
After everyone had taken cover behind barricades, Inumaki gave the signal, and Angel used Jacob’s Ladder. When the smoke cleared, however, there was no sign of Gojo. Hana pondered if Gojo Satoru was an evil spirit who died by falling down Jacob’s Ladder, but they soon felt the vibrations of someone powerful appearing someplace.
Kenjaku mused elsewhere that he had hidden the Prison realm below the Japan Trench beneath layers of Seals and Cursed Spirits, which ensured that even if Gojo were freed, he would die immediately. But Gojo appeared directly in front of him.
Sukuna stopped Gojo from attacking Kenjaku immediately. Sukuna reminded Gojo that, despite being in Megumi’s body, he would follow his word to murder Gojo. But Kenjaku stepped in, stating that Sukuna must first deliver his commitment. Gojo mocked Sukuna, saying how low he had gone to flee Yuji and take orders from Kenjaku. Uraume attempted to assault Gojo for disrespecting their lord but was knocked out with a single punch.
Gojo inquired about the current date and offered that the last fight be held on December 24. He reminded Kenjaku that his second death should also occur because Geto died that day. Kenjaku wondered if Gojo didn’t think he’d lose. A flashback to when Yuji had asked him if Gojo would lose to a fully incarnated Sukuna is referenced. Gojo answered both queries with, “Nah, I’d Win.”
