Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 44 pivots from the intense fight between Yuji and Choso and shifts the spotlight to the real masterminds behind the Shibuya Incident: Mahito and the cursed spirit alliance. As the dust settles, the stage is set for something even more horrifying.
This chapter deepens the series’ psychological horror and strategy-driven narrative. We witness Mahito maneuvering through the chaos with disturbing calm,
using the confusion in Shibuya to further his experiments on human transformation. His eerie excitement at the suffering of humans shows just how far removed he is from any sense of morality — he doesn’t just want to destroy; he wants to reshape life and death.
One of the most ominous moments in the chapter is the continue manipulation of Suguru Geto’s body, which is still being controll the ancient sorcerer Kenjaku. With Mahito and Kenjaku aligned,
the stakes become clearer: this isn’t just about battles — it’s about a total reconstruction of the jujutsu world order.
Meanwhile, civilians trapped inside the cursed barrier are suffering,
and the tension escalates as we realize that none of the major sorcerers have yet reached the heart of the conflict. The delay feels deliberate — the enemy has planned every move ahead of time.
The art in this chapter delivers an oppressive atmosphere. From tight alleyways dripping with cursed energy to the sinister expressions of Mahito,
Gege Akutami continues to blend horror and action masterfully. Dialogue is sparse, allowing the visuals and eerie pacing to speak louder.
Chapter 44 is a reminder that in Jujutsu Kaisen, fights are only part of the story. The real terror lies in the implications — and as Mahito’s true goal begins to unfold,
we’re left wondering just how much darker this arc will become.
