Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248 : Expected to release on January 21 at 12 am JST

Jujutsu Kaisen fans eagerly awaiting Chapter 248 are met with an unfortunate delay, leaving them in suspense after a significant cliffhanger. The ongoing battle against the formidable forces in the manga, particularly Sukuna, has intensified, with recent chapters unveiling unexpected twists, including the death of Hiromi Higuruma. Here’s a breakdown of the delay and what to expect in the upcoming chapter.

In the latest developments, the manga has presented Sukuna’s growing list of victims, culminating in the demise of Hiromi Higuruma. Despite the strategic nature of Higuruma’s sacrifice, leaving the key to saving Megumi in Yuji’s hands, readers are left puzzled by the decision. The recent chapter draws parallels between the deaths of Nanami and Higuruma, both leaving their wills to Yuji, intensifying the emotional impact on the young sorcerer.

As Yuji grapples with the trauma of losing someone significant, the chapter unfolds with Higuruma entrusting everything to him in his final moments. The narrative takes a compelling turn as Yuji employs the Executioner’s Sword against Sukuna, setting the stage for further revelations.

However, the wait for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248 extends due to a scheduled break in Shonen Jump’s publication. The chapter is now slated for release on January 21 at 12 am JST. The previous chapter’s release on January 5, rather than the usual Sunday, was a result of Shonen Jump’s Christmas holiday schedule. Subsequently, the publication observes another break for the New Year holiday, impacting various ongoing Weekly Shonen Jump series, including Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, My Hero Academia, and more.

As the manga enters its final stretch, the intense battle against the King of Curses continues. Kenjaku’s mysterious plans following Yuta’s attack add an additional layer of intrigue, and Hakari’s confrontation with Uraume intensifies the narrative. Chapter 246 left fans questioning Choso’s fate after Sukuna impaled him, and Chapter 244 provided insights into Yuji’s training with Noritoshi Kamo.

The upcoming Chapter 248 holds the promise of unraveling more secrets about Yuji’s powers, potentially shedding light on the intricacies of his abilities. Higuruma’s sacrifice, seemingly part of a larger plan, remains shrouded in mystery, leaving readers eager for the manga to unveil the full details in the upcoming installment.
