Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 90: Soul on the Brink – Yuji’s Last Stand as Megumi Fights to Take Back His Body
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 90 is a collision of desperation and destiny. With Megumi Fushiguro’s soul nearing the surface and Sukuna’s grip slipping, Kenjaku’s assassin intensifies his assault, threatening to destroy the vessel—and everyone in it—before the rescue is complete.
The assassin, a cold and efficient sorcerer with the ability to sever soul-to-body connections, proves incredibly dangerous. His cursed technique allows him to target Megumi’s awakening soul directly through Sukuna’s cursed energy, accelerating the risk of soul collapse.
Yuji, battered and bleeding, continues to fight back with sheer will. His combat instincts sharpen, adapting to the assassin’s unpredictable attacks. His goal isn’t just survival—it’s buying Megumi enough time to fully return.
Inside the soul domain, Megumi’s mental struggle escalates. Each memory—of Tsumiki, Gojo, Yuji—adds another piece to the puzzle of his fractured identity. The shadows that once consumed him are now under his command. For the first time since Sukuna took over, Megumi stands tall within himself.
One of the most emotional scenes in the chapter is a silent panel—Megumi standing in a sea of darkness, reaching upward as a hand reaches down. It’s Yuji’s soul, calling him back.
In a sudden surge, Megumi channels his cursed energy from within. The effects ripple outward—Sukuna’s domain falters, and the shikigami lose form. Even the assassin pauses, sensing something shifting.
The final pages show Yuji using a new technique—a soul-anchoring strike, fusing his cursed energy directly into Sukuna’s core to stabilize the vessel long enough for Megumi to fully reclaim control.
Chapter 90 is a breathtaking blend of emotional storytelling and high-level cursed combat. Gege Akutami masterfully balances the inner journey of Megumi with the outer war Yuji fights, inching the story toward a moment fans have been waiting for.
