Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 83: Last Seconds – Hakari’s Final Gamble as Yuji Returns to Face Sukuna
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 83 turns up the tension as Kinji Hakari’s invincibility timer nears its end, leaving him fully vulnerable just as Sukuna tightens his grip on Megumi’s powers. But just when all hope seems lost, a familiar silhouette rises — Yuji Itadori has returned.
The chapter begins with the final seconds of Idle Death Gamble ticking down. Hakari knows his time is almost up, but he charges anyway, launching a barrage of cursed energy-infused attacks meant to disrupt Sukuna’s control and buy one last sliver of opportunity.
Sukuna, fully aware of Hakari’s timer, begins targeting vital points with surgical precision. He’s not interested in flashy moves anymore—just ending this game efficiently. A deadly blow slices through Hakari’s shoulder, and the regeneration doesn’t come. The ability is gone.
But just as Sukuna moves in for the kill—Yuji explodes onto the scene, fists glowing with focused cursed energy, screaming Megumi’s name.
It’s not a dramatic entry—it’s raw, desperate, and furious. Yuji’s not trying to fight Sukuna. He’s trying to reach what’s left of Megumi buried inside. The panel where Sukuna’s smirk fades into a flicker of confusion is telling—Yuji’s resolve still rattles the King of Curses, even from the outside.
The art is phenomenal here. Akutami delivers wide, clean strokes that emphasize Yuji’s determination and Hakari’s collapse in the same frame. Emotion and motion hit simultaneously.
We don’t get a full battle between Yuji and Sukuna yet, but the next showdown is inevitable. As Hakari collapses and Yuji takes his place, the message is clear:
“You may have taken Megumi’s body… but I’m still coming for his soul.”
Chapter 83 sets the stage for one of the most personal and devastating battles in the series. The final round is about to begin—and Yuji isn’t pulling any punches.
