In chapter 225 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the sorcerers watch the fight between Gojo and Sukuna live. They discuss both fighters’ skills, fighting abilities, and domains and conclude Gojo might be in danger.
At the end of the chapter, Sukuna lands an attack on Gojo, which causes Gojo to get slashed on his neck and become severely injured. It could mean that Sukuna finally has the upper hand. Here are the latest updates.
1. Chapter 226 Raw Scans, Leaks
The chapter starts with Sukuna attacking Gojo with his blade, but to Sukuna’s surprise, Gojo can handle this attack. Higurama points out to Gojo that this attack will continue as long as he is inside Sukuna’s domain. Still, Choso says that Gojo can easily escape as there is no closed barrier in Sukuna’s domain.
Sukuna destroys Gojo’s domain, which renders Gojo’s power useless. Sukuna keeps laughing as he keeps slashing Gojo all over his body. While fighting, Gojo remarks that Sukuna is superior regarding cursed energy usage.
Then they both engage in hand-to-hand combat while exchanging fists. Sukuna praises Gojo for keeping up with him. Also, Gojo uses the reverse curse technique to survive those slashes. While fighting, Gojo realizes that the center of Sukuna’s domain is the shrine, not him.
After a while, we see Gojo all bloody and bruised, but out of nowhere, Gojo uses “New Shadow Style: Simple Domain.” Everyone is shocked and wonders how he was able to do this. Kusakabe replies that he can do it but can’t teach that stuff, and Choso says this will only buy a little time.
Gojo’s healing was stopped, and he charged toward Sukuna and grabbed him. Gojo becomes unbelievably fast, and then Gojo blasts Sukuna away using ‘Cursed Technique Reversal: Red,” and Sukuna crashes into his shrine while Gojo starts to heal himself.
2. Chapter 226 Speculation
2.1. Gojo vs. Sukuna
Chapter 226 will show the continuation of the battle between Gojo and Sukuna. Now that Sukuna has caused Gojo to suffer a critical injury, it will be interesting to see if and how Gojo counters it. It is unlikely for Gojo to have remained careless, meaning that he probably has a trick up his sleeve.
There is also a possibility of Gojo facing his injury. If Gojo truly is in danger, it is only a matter of time before the rest of the sorcerers intervene to save him. Gojo might also be trying to attack Sukuna without having to hurt Megumi.
2.2 Gojo’s Attitude
Gojo seems indifferent about Megumi’s life and focuses on how he resembles Toji. He has placed the concern of Megumi’s life in the background, meaning that either he has a secret plan or his time in the Prison Realm changed him into someone darker.

5. Chapter 225 Recap
The sorcerers watch the duel live. Sukuna, like Hanami, employed Domain Amplification to counter Gojo’s Infinity, according to Kusakabe and Yuta. Domain Amplification wrapped itself around the user like a disguise, creating a void and allowing them to avoid Infinity.
However, Angel pointed out that if Sukuna wanted to win, he needed to employ a different technique to bypass Infinity because one cannot use their Innate Technique while using Domain Amplification.
Sukuna could employ Domain Expansion to negate Gojo’s Cursed Technique and conclude the conflict sooner. On the other hand, Shoko pointed out that if Sukuna was worried about Unlimited Void overwhelming Malevolent Shrine, Gojo would have noticed and used his Domain by now.
Choso explained that Sukuna’s Domain does not employ a barrier, which surprised everyone because it employs a different technique than Megumi’s unfinished Domain. He went on to say that Kenjaku did it during their combat.
Choso and Mei Mei concluded that if Yuki Tsukumo had used her Domain against Kenjaku, her Sure Hit Technique would have given her a fighting chance. Miwa was curious how Sukuna’s Sure Hit effect worked, given that it is tied to a Domain’s barrier.
Ino brought up the idea that Domain Expansions need a lot of energy. Because Gojo didn’t have infinite energy, he restored it faster than he consumed it. If that equilibrium shifted, he might have a problem.
Sukuna, on the other hand, had a finite amount of Cursed Energy, but Kashimo claimed that by being efficient, he prolonged it to a ridiculous period. Yuta reminded them that Gojo and Sukuna’s Cursed Energy stocks were roughly double his own. Thus, there shouldn’t be a Cursed Energy shortage.
Momo determined that it was this way because neither of them was sure that they would win if their Domains collided. Because Sukuna’s Domain lacked a barrier, it manifested within Unlimited Void. They were evenly matched inside Gojo’s Domain, so their Sure Hit effects were canceled.
If one takes significant damage that destroys their Domain, the other’s Sure Hit attack will take instant effect. Inside Unlimited Void, Gojo and Sukuna were evenly matched, but Malevolent Shrine’s reach extends beyond its barrier. Gojo and Sukuna activated their domains.
The barrier protecting a Domain from outside attacks was penetrable. Sukuna used Dismantle to breach the barrier of Unlimited Void, while Malevolent Shrine’s Sure Hit effect sliced Gojo’s neck immediately.
