Chapter Overview: The Aftermath of Swallowing Sukuna’s Finger
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 2 picks up with a high-intensity continuation of Yuji Itadori’s life-changing decision—swallowing a cursed object, Ryomen Sukuna’s finger, to save his friend. This act doesn’t just invite danger but fuses the most powerful curse in history directly with Yuji’s soul. What follows is a thrilling, chaotic clash of power, control, and fate.
Sukuna’s Possession: Power vs Will
The beginning of the chapter showcases Sukuna’s first possession of Yuji’s body. As Sukuna attempts to kill Fushiguro, something extraordinary happens—Yuji regains control of his body almost immediately. This unheard-of event astonishes even the most experienced jujutsu sorcerers and sets the stage for the series’ core conflict: a battle for control within one body.
Gojo Satoru Enters the Scene
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 2 also introduces us to the fan-favorite character, Satoru Gojo, a teacher at Jujutsu High and one of the strongest characters in the series. His arrival is both stylish and intimidating. Gojo easily neutralizes the threat and reveals Yuji’s unique ability to suppress Sukuna at will.
This moment not only cements Gojo’s role as a mentor but also hints at Yuji’s potential as a once-in-a-generation vessel.
Yuji’s Fate: Death or Duty
After subduing Sukuna, Yuji is taken to Jujutsu High, where the higher-ups are already planning his execution. However, Gojo suggests a compromise—let Yuji live until he consumes all 20 fingers of Sukuna. The idea is to destroy the curse completely once it’s whole. Yuji accepts, setting his destiny on a path filled with exorcisms, monsters, and sacrifice.
