Here’s a rundown of when to anticipate this chapter’s release, where to read it, and a glimpse into what it might entail.

What to expect in JJK Chapter 262

To decipher what comes next for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 262, we must look at the previous chapter. So, before reading on, be mindful of the spoilers up ahead.

At the beginning of Chapter 261, we witness Gojo’s return. He was believed to be dead at the hands of Sukuna during their epic showdown. But just when we think Gojo has made his comeback, it is revealed that Yuta Okkotsu is in control of his body instead.

Previously, Yuta inherited Kenjaku’s brain transplant curse technique, using Rika’s abilities. As a result, Gojo now bears the same stitches as Geto, where Okkotsu now has complete control over his powers. The rest of the chapter explains more events that led to this moment, ultimately showing Yuta’s transformation procedure.

As we return to the present-day fight, Okkotsu unleashes Unlimited Void while Sukuna counters with Malevolent Shrine. This clash of powers sets the stage for an intense battle in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 262. Itadori and Todo, still present during the battle, are also likely to be involved. With these hints, we’ll just have to see whose Domain Expansion will prove more potent in the next chapter.
