Jujutsu Kaisen has been taking its readers on a rollercoaster ride filled with intense battles, intricate techniques, and emotional upheavals. Chapter 238, titled “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 15,” penned by Gege Akutami and translated by John Werry and Snir Aharon, marks a significant turn in the ongoing saga. Before we delve deeper, be warned, this article is riddled with spoilers and is meant for those who wish to unravel the complexities of this gripping chapter.
The Void Left by the Strongest Sorcerer
The disappearance of the strongest sorcerer has left a vacuum in the Jujutsu world, prompting Itadori Yuji and Higuruma Hiromi to step into the fray against the formidable Sukuna in a daring attempt to rescue Megumi Fushiguro’s soul. This unlikely duo brings a unique combination of raw determination and intriguing sorcery techniques to the battlefield, opening up new possibilities and challenges.
With the strongest sorcerer out of the picture, Itadori and Higuruma plan to battle Sukuna to save Megumi’s soul.
Unraveling Higuruma’s Cursed Technique
Before the tumultuous Culling Games, Higuruma was a defense attorney, fighting for the wrongfully accused. His life took a drastic turn when he was bestowed with the ability to wield high levels of cursed energy, transforming him into a sorcerer overnight. His domain expansion, Deathly Sentencing, reflects his legal background, creating a courtroom setting where violence is prohibited, and the opponent is put on trial.
Higuruma’s cursed technique involves a domain expansion resembling a courtroom, where his opponent is put on trial for their crimes.
Judgeman, a shikigami, plays the role of the judge, determining the guilt or innocence of the accused based on the arguments presented. A guilty verdict can lead to the removal of the cursed technique or, in extreme cases, a death sentence, executed by Higuruma with his formidable cursed tools.
The Dual-Edged Sword: Rescuing Megumi
Itadori and Higuruma’s alliance has a clear goal: to save Megumi’s soul from Sukuna’s clutches. Higuruma’s technique provides a unique opportunity to isolate Megumi’s soul and communicate with him directly, bypassing Sukuna’s interference. However, this strategy is fraught with risk. If Sukuna gains control over the domain, the situation could worsen, making the mission to save Megumi even more perilous.
With Jujutsu Kaisen‘s strongest sorcerer out of the equation, other members of the jujutsu society are rushing in to battle Sukuna. After the King of Curses quickly disposed of Kashimo, humbling the ancient sorcerer who was so eager to face the curse, Itadori Yuji and Higuruma Hiromi were next to ambush Sukuna at the end of chapter 238.
The Risks and Potential Tragedy
The trial-like setting of Higuruma’s domain means that Megumi could be put on trial for Sukuna’s crimes, a situation fraught with moral and ethical dilemmas. Previous chapters have shown that even when innocent, the accused may feel compelled to confess guilt, potentially leading to a tragic outcome. The stakes are high, and Itadori and Higuruma must navigate this treacherous terrain with utmost care to avoid further tragedy.

If they can isolate Megumi, Itadori and Higuruma could extract him from Sukuna using a soul-swapping technique Itadori appeared to have practiced with second-year sensei Kusakabe in previous chapters.
