Jujutsu Kaisen teases Yuta Okkotsu’s revival in cliffhanger ending.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 268 ends with a teaser about Yuta Okkotsu’s return.
Jujutsu Kaisen is mere weeks away from concluding, with its final chapter set to be published on September 30. As Gege Akutami’s series comes to a close, fans are eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the story. The series creator has already dropped several bombshells ahead of the finale, and this week, Jujutsu Kaisen took things a step further by teasing the return of Yuta Okkotsu.
Be warned: spoilers ahead for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 268. Proceed with caution.
The revelation came in the latest chapter, which kicked off an epilogue of sorts. Sukuna has been dealt with, and Megumi has reunited with his friends back at school. From Nobara to Panda, the gang is back, but some faces are missing. Gojo Satoru remains presumed KIA, and Yuta was on that list before Yuji shared an update with Megumi.
“It’s about Okkotsu. We have to save him,” the boy said. As the chapter concluded, fans watched as Yuji joined his classmates, as well as some teachers and students from Kyoto, walking around campus. We then hear a voice calling out, “You’re a jerk!” leaving Megumi to ask if they need to rescue the boy from “them?”
The cliffhanger ends there, leaving fans desperate to know who Megumi is talking about. It appears Yuta needs rescuing, sparking uncertainty over whether the boy has already been brought back to life. If you recall, Megumi’s body was bisected by Sukuna in battle, forcing him to use Kenjaku’s borrowed Cursed Technique to enter Gojo’s corpse. The last we saw, Megumi was about to be forced out of Gojo’s body, leading fans to assume the boy died in Shinjuku. However, our heroes are now trying to save the boy, but the question is, from what?
Can Yuta Okkotsu Be Brought Back to Life?
It’s possible that Yuta has returned to his original body, freeing Rika to scold her partner freely. Alternatively, it could be Shoko giving him hell behind the scenes, given the number he did on Gojo’s corpse. For now, we’ll have to wait and see how Jujutsu Kaisen plays out this cliffhanger. As it stands, it seems Akutami is eager to bring Yuta back to life.
