Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249 raises the stakes once again as the fallout from Kenjaku’s defeat takes a dark and dangerous turn. What initially seemed like a rare victory for the sorcerers quickly becomes a deeper threat, as Kenjaku’s “failsafe” activates—now in the hands of Sukuna. With the most feared villain gaining even more power, the battlefield shifts into uncharted territory.
But hope arrives in the form of an unexpected trio: Yuta Okkotsu, Yuji Itadori, and Rika. Realizing the weight of the moment, Yuta steps forward, determined to take responsibility for stopping the failsafe and bringing an end to the conflict. His bond with Rika and his synergy with Yuji form a powerful new alliance—one that could change the outcome of the war.
This chapter isn’t just setup—it’s the quiet before the storm, as the strongest remaining sorcerers prepare for an all-or-nothing final strike against Sukuna’s rising dominance.
As Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249 closes, the lines are drawn for what may be the final, decisive phase of the battle. Kenjaku’s last curse still looms, but Yuta’s decision to lead the charge brings both weight and hope. With Yuji and Rika at his side, a new frontline emerges—built not just on cursed energy, but on resolve. The sorcerers may be outmatched in raw power, but what they carry now is purpose, strategy, and a willingness to give everything for victory. The next move could determine the future of Jujutsu society.
To understand how this turning point came to be, revisit Chapter 223 where Gojo first reignited the war, Chapter 225 as Sukuna pushed past Infinity, Chapter 236 for the emotional fallout of Gojo’s death, and Chapter 272 for the quiet aftermath that still haunts the battlefield.
