Malevolent Shrine Vs Unlimited Void Continues
Sukuna and Yuta Will Continue Their Domain Battle In Jujutsu Kaisen 263
Given how short and rough the previous chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen was, fans know for a fact that the upcoming one could be treated in a somewhat similar fashion. JJK 263 could end up being very short, and at the same time, quicken the progress of some plot points. Where fans could've originally seen an extended battle between the likes of Yuta and Gojo, it is possible that the upcoming chapter will shorten the clash. Still, readers expect the battle between these two individuals to continue from inside the domain. The domain battle just began in the previous chapter, with both the fighters laying down their goals quite clearly. In the case of Sukuna, the goal is to relentlessly attack the domain from the outside so that it shatters. As soon as that happens, he is going to expand his domain even further and kill everyone inside.
My apologies! It seems I've underestimated you. I didn't think you were capable of going this far…Okkotsu Yuta!
This plan is very likely to work if Sukuna can deal with Unlimited Void first. Yuta's plan, on the other hand, is to deal enough damage to Sukuna from the inside so that he cannot maintain Malevolent Shrine. If he does that, he can then land a clean hit on the King of Curses and weaken him greatly in battle. It is also possible for Yuta to essentially win the battle this way. Fans will have to see which way this battle goes in the upcoming chapter, but, for the most part, they should still see a clash inside the domain. This will mostly include cursed techniques and hand-to-hand combat, just as the last chapter delivered.
Previously, Sukuna dealt damage to Yuta by shocking him with the usage of domain amplification. Now, in JJK chapter 263, Yuta is going to be on guard and fans should see more of him using techniques such as Blue, Red, among others. Things are going to get a lot more rough inside the domain, and fans should also expect Sukuna to be on the back foot more than before. Given that Yuta only has 5 minutes, he needs to do enough to impress the fans in this short amount of time before he possibly ends up dying.
Rika's Fate To Be Hinted
Rika Could Have Her Fate Finally Revealed In JJK 263
Towards the end of the last chapter, fans got to see Rika shedding tears of sorrow. JJK chapter 263 will most likely touch upon this as well. It is highly likely that Rika is going to be involved in the plot and in some way moving forward. Right now, she is grieving over the loss of Yuta. The previous chapter essentially confirmed that Yuta moving to Gojo's body doesn't mean that Rika continues to stay with him, at least not for now. She is connected to Yuta's own body and considers him dead, which is why she is grieving. If Yuta gets to stay and go to his body forever, his bond with Rika will be severed forever, as things stand right now. This is not a good situation and fans need to keep in mind that Rika only has two options going forward.
Yuta can only use his Copy technique for as long as Rika is fully manifested, which is 5 minutes. What happens after those 5 minutes are up?
If Yuta dies, then Rika will likely run riot on the battlefield and engage Sukuna, provided he survives. If Yuta stays in Gojo's body, then, perhaps Rika can somehow try to form a connection with Yuta. However, it is also possible for Rika to simply pass away once Yuta does. Fans will have to see which way the author is going to deal with this problem, and given the way it was highlighted in the previous chapter, it is highly likely to be focused on quite a bit.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Sukuna's Final Defeat, Explained
Sukuna’s defeat might be looking possible in JJK. Here’s how Yuji, Yuta, and Todo can work towards it.
JJK chapter 263 might give more insight into this precarious situation. Possibly, fans will only get the answer to this once the 5 minutes that Yuta has are up. Because, after that 5-minute time, Rika cannot be fully manifested. Either she dies with Yuta, or, she ends up finding Sukuna.
There is a third possibility, slight as chances for it may be. If Yuta somehow returns to his own body, Rika and he will go on to live their lives happily, but happy endings are not so common in the story.
The Domain Battle Ends
The Domain Battle Between Yuta And Sukuna Could End In JJK 263
Provided that the domain battle is likely going to last less than 3 minutes, fans could very well see it wrap up in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263. This is especially true if the author wants to wrap up the story quicker because of his worsening health. Fans might not get to see the extended fight they wanted to see and instead be treated with a small sequence of blows being exchanged, followed by the domain clash ending. If that is truly the case, then JJK chapter 263 could potentially give fans the answer to who out of these two is going to be the winner of the clash. Provided the domain does break, then fans need to remember that Yuta will have less than 2 minutes left, which means that he would be very close to losing.
Overall, these 5 minutes could have been enough to see Yuta win this domain clash, provided he is able to land a powerful Unlimited Void hit on Sukuna. It is clear that he is out for revenge, and even though he has limited time, the chances of him landing the finishing blow are much higher. Fans should expect Yuta to deal significant damage to Sukuna with Gojo's body using Unlimited Void, and weaken him enough to the point where his defeat can become a possibility before the time runs Out. This way, Yuta will have really contributed to the victory, and either Sukuna will simply lose at his hands, or Yuji and Todo can finish the job once the domain battle is over. JJK chapter 263 is going to be absolutely massive either way and fans will definitely get to see major advancements in regards to this massive fight.
Jujutsu Kaisen is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263, is set to be July 7, 2024.
