Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 116: The Past Awakens – A Sorcerer Lost to Time Returns
After the soul-scorching climax of the Kogane arc, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 116 wastes no time in diving headfirst into a new mystery—one that ties cursed energy to a forgotten legacy. And this time, the danger doesn’t come from a curse—it comes from a sorcerer erased from history.
The chapter opens in the ruins of the cursed battlefield where the seal shattered in Chapter 115. Maki and Yuta investigate what remains. But what they find isn’t a cursed spirit—it’s a man, cloaked in white, with ink-black eyes and an aura of old-world cursed technique. He doesn’t attack. He just whispers:
“Where… is Kenjaku?”
Meanwhile, at Jujutsu HQ, Gojo is handed a scroll retrieved from the site—one marked with the sigil of Ishiguro Reien, a legendary jujutsu user who vanished over 400 years ago during a mass sealing ritual known only as the “Night of Iron Silence.” According to Gojo:
“If he’s back, it’s not reincarnation. It’s resurrection. And someone orchestrated it.”
Elsewhere, Yuji and Megumi attempt a moment of peace, but both are plagued by strange dreams—visions of ancient war, chanting sorcerers, and a man crowned in bones.
The chapter’s final page flips the tone: The Hollow Tithe cult, fractured but alive, kneels before the resurrected Ishiguro. His words:
“Your little emperor failed. Let me show you what real fear is.”
Chapter 116 marks the dawn of a new cursed age—not ruled by spirits, but by the ghosts of human ambition. Gege Akutami is setting up a legendary conflict where history fights back, and the cost will be more than just power—it will be identity.
