Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 156: The Scale-Maker – Who Engineered the Equalizers?
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 156 opens with silence. The cursed valley lies cracked and burned. Trees have withered. The sky is dull. Yuji stands alone—barely.
The second Equalizer is gone—whether vanished or defeated remains unclear. What matters is the shift. Something woke up when their fists collided. And it wasn’t a technique—it was history.
Yuji collapses, not from wounds, but from a vision: an ancient hall lined with broken jujutsu seals and floating shards of cursed glass. A voice narrates—not Sukuna’s, not Gojo’s, not even the Herald’s.
“You were never balance. You were leverage.”
We then cut to an undisclosed location beneath the Jujutsu Kaisen archives. Shoko, Yuki, and Megumi have located an encrypted scroll labeled “KAI-0.” It details a covert project launched 150 years ago—by the original Kamo clan leader, who theorized:
“When cursed energy becomes predictable, balance must be fabricated. Artificial anchors will keep fate from leaning too far.”
Yuji and the second Equalizer weren’t miracles. They were prototypes.
Back in the ruins, Yuji is recovered by Yuta, and asks just one question:
“Am I even real?”
Yuta responds:
“Doesn’t matter. What you choose now—that’s real.”
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit chamber, the true architect steps from the shadows: a preserved sorcerer, barely human, surrounded by suspended scrolls. Their name?
“Master Kaiyo—the Scale-Maker.”
The final panel shows them holding two marbles—one glowing like Yuji’s cursed spiral, the other pitch black.
“The test was successful. Now… we begin the collapse.”
Chapter 156 is Gege Akutami at his most ambitious—rewriting the entire concept of jujutsu balance and revealing that this war has script for over a century.
