Chapter 40 Begins: Mahito Is Hunted
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 40, Mahito, now in his most desperate state, limps across the shattered battleground, attempting to regain cursed energy and restructure his soul. But it’s too late—Yuji is already behind him.
“Run all you want. You’re not escaping this time.”
Yuji’s determination burns hotter than ever. He’s no longer fighting for revenge—but for justice.
Mahito’s Flashback: The Fear of Death
As Mahito drags himself into the ruins, he recalls his creation—how he fed on fear, molded Junpei, manipulated humans, and mocked souls. Now? He feels terror himself.
“So this… this is what death feels like.”
This introspection parallels Sukuna’s smirk from the shadows—showing that Mahito is no longer a worthy player in the curse game.
Yuji’s Cursed Energy: Overflowing
Yuji charges another Black Flash, his cursed energy spiking so violently that Mahito can’t predict it. The panels show Yuji’s aura darkening, his soul screaming from loss.
“This isn’t about anger anymore. It’s about ending you.”
Mahito tries to clone himself again—but Yuji destroys the copies instantly.
Final Blow Incoming: Sukuna Watches Silently
Sukuna doesn’t intervene—he simply watches. The King of Curses is entertained by Yuji’s evolution.
Sukuna (internally): “He’s getting more interesting…”
This subtle tease has fans wondering if Sukuna plans to reclaim Yuji’s body after this.
Lore Drop: Mahito’s Last Transformation?
Mahito unleashes a new grotesque cursed form, born from panic and desperation—half-deformed, half-soul residue. But even that doesn’t work.
Yuji walks through it and smashes Mahito with a soul-to-soul punch.
“You can’t cheat death anymore.”
