Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 release date and where to read (2024)

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 raises the stakes in the ongoing battle for control in the Shinjuku Showdown arc.

With the immensely powerful Ryomen Sukuna in control of Megumi Fushiguro’s body, Yuta Okkotsu takes a desperate gamble.

He utilizes a copy of Kenjaku’s cursed technique to inhabit Satoru Gojo‘s body, gaining access to the formidable Limitless technique.

Can this unorthodox combination of Yuta’s skill and Gojo’s immense power finally stop Sukuna’s rampage? Or will the King of Curses prove himself too powerful even for this unexpected alliance?

How did Sukuna break Gojo’s Limitless? Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262 recap

Chapter 262 plunged readers into a frenetic clash between Yuta Okkotsu and the monstrous Sukuna. Both unleashed their domain expansions – Okkotsu with a smaller version of Gojo’s Unlimited Void, and Sukuna with his devastating Malevolent Shrine.

The twist? Malevolent Shrine was a special type of domain with no defined borders. This allowed Sukuna to overpower the weaker outer shell of Unlimited Void in their earlier encounter, which happened when Sukuna ang Gojo first fought at the start of the Shinjuku Showdown arc.

Okkotsu’s strategy hinged on exploiting this weakness. By containing Sukuna within a smaller domain for three minutes, he hoped to weaken him enough to break through Malevolent Shrine.

However, Sukuna had a counter. He shrunk the effective area of his domain, essentially focusing its power onto the outer shell of Unlimited Void.

Despite wielding Gojo’s Limitless technique, Okkotsu found himself overwhelmed. Sukuna utilized domain amplification, nullifying cursed techniques within a domain, to land a series of brutal blows that shocked Okkotsu.

The chapter ended with a cliffhanger, as Rika cradled Yuta’s seemingly lifeless body.

What is domain amplification in Jujutsu Kaisen?

This advanced technique counteracts the devastating effects of domain expansions and nullifies enemy-cursed techniques.

Imagine a thin veil of cursed energy surrounding the user. This veil acts as a nullifying field, absorbing and canceling out any cursed technique or sure-hit effect from a domain expansion that it contacts.

This allows the user of domain amplification to land a guaranteed hit, even against opponents with powerful defensive techniques.

Think of it as a void specifically designed to swallow cursed techniques whole. While similar to a simple domain, domain amplification is far more precise and versatile.

Unlike simple domains, which often restrict the user’s movement, domain amplification allows for greater freedom, enabling the user to remain mobile and fight aggressively.

This technique could be a game-changer in battles against powerful sorcerers who rely heavily on their cursed techniques.
