Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 90: Soul on the Brink – Yuji’s Last Stand as Megumi Fights to Take Back His Body
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 90 delivers a gripping blend of desperation and destiny. As Megumi Fushiguro’s soul begins to resurface and Sukuna’s control weakens, chaos erupts when Kenjaku’s assassin strikes with deadly precision—threatening to destroy the vessel before the rescue can be completed.
The assassin, a ruthless and calculating sorcerer gifted with the ability to sever the connection between soul and body, proves terrifyingly powerful. His cursed technique allows him to directly attack Megumi’s struggling soul through Sukuna’s energy, pushing it closer to collapse.
Meanwhile, Yuji Itadori—wounded, exhausted, yet unyielding—fights on with sheer determination. His reflexes sharpen under pressure, adapting to his foe’s unpredictable onslaught. This battle isn’t about victory; it’s about buying time, giving Megumi the chance to reclaim his body.
One of the chapter’s most haunting scenes unfolds in silence: Megumi stands in an endless void, reaching upward, while a familiar hand extends toward him. It’s Yuji’s soul, desperately trying to pull him back.
Then, a surge of cursed energy erupts from within Megumi. The shift reverberates outward—Sukuna’s domain fractures, his shikigami crumble, and even the assassin falters, sensing the change.
In a stunning climax, Yuji unveils a new technique: a soul-anchoring strike, merging his cursed energy into Sukuna’s core to stabilize the vessel long enough for Megumi to seize control.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 90 captures the perfect balance of emotional resonance and breathtaking combat. Gege Akutami’s storytelling shines as Yuji’s relentless resolve and Megumi’s inner awakening push the story toward a long-awaited turning point.
