Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 223: Release Date, Speculation, Read Online

In chapter 222 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo reunites with the students of Jujutsu High and the other sorcerers as they encourage and support the upcoming battle against Sukuna. Sukuna has consumed all but one finger, assuring the certainty of a long, epic battle. Although, Gojo is confident that he will win. 

The rest of the sorcerers must remain on guard as Kenjaku plans to fight them while Gojo is with Sukuna. Here are the latest updates. 

1. Chapter 223 Raw Scans, Leaks

The raw scans and spoilers for chapter 223 of Jujutsu Kaisen are out. Gojo tells Ijichi that time inside the prison realm is stretched and compressed at the same time. He compares it with a busy day at work when the week feels very short but also too long.

Gojo also asks about the people who were affected by his unlimited void during Shibuya and learns they have all recovered. Gojo then reached a building top and says, “Let’s get started. Utahime, Grandpa”

Chapter 223 then switches to Sukuna, who can sense a strong curse aura from a building afar. A flashback begins where Gakuenji tells Gojo that he killed Yaga. Gojo says he doesn’t mind since it’s his fault he was sealed, and grandpa was made to comply.

Grandpa reveals that Yaga had said how to create a cursed corpse before he died. This makes Gojo think the old man has changed since he didn’t report it to the authorities. The very next page reveals all the higher-ups were killed. The scene has a speech bubble where Gojo tells Gakuenji if he were the leader, things would be better.

Ijichi asks him why he wants his help, and Gojo says, “You really don’t get it? You are the one I trust the most. This is where the flashback ends. In the present, Ijichi sets up a barrier behind Gojo and reflects on how the strongest person believes in him and wants to live up to it.

Chapter 223 of Jujutsu Kaisen shows Utahime performing a dance ritual next, and it will enhance the total output of CE of any sorcerer, including herself. Next, Gojo blasts a 200% powered-up “Hollow Purple” and targets Sukuna. Sukuna, in turn, tries to make it go null. Gojo destroys all the buildings in his way.

Sukuna’s right hand is destroyed, and Gojo appears right in front of him to piss him off more with words.

2. Chapter 223 Speculation

I. Gojo vs. Sukuna

Chapter 223 will show the beginning of the much-awaited final battle between Sukuna and Gojo. Looking at the strength Sukuna now possesses after consuming most of the fingers and being inside Megumi, the next chapter promises a battle that will show Gojo giving it his all. Megumi and Gojo’s life may both be at stake. 

Megumi, who is deep inside a void, may be triggered to wake up after discovering he is fighting Gojo, who might also have a plan to save him.

II. Kenjaku’s plan

Kenjaku plans to move as he pleases and kills the remaining players of the Culling Game. If Sukuna weakens Gojo, and the stronger sorcerers are caught up in the fight, it could create a significant problem, put many lives at risk, and create a build-up for a battle between Kenjaku and the other sorcerers at Jujutsu High. 

 III. Gojo’s Time in the Prison Realm

The next chapter might reveal what Gojo went through when he was sealed and how much time has passed. His extreme determination and quick-thinking hint that he must have been through a significant event that caused a change in his mental state.

5. Chapter 222 Recap

Kenjaku finds out through Kogane that 61 players have died in the past 19 days due to Cursed Technique removal, as their points remained the same. Gojo learns of Nanami’s death, while Takuma arrives with something to say about Nanami’s death.

Mei Mei keeps a check on the Gojo vs. Sukuna fight on the betting pool while selling tickets to earn a lot of money. Yuji trains with Kusakabe, being able to trounce him. Yuta informs Inumaki that he did not tell Yuji about what happened to Sukuna’s arm because he does not want Yuji to blame himself for Sukuna’s actions.

While Gojo confronts Sukuna, Kenjaku plans to kill the other Culling Game players. Kenjaku believes that if Gojo loses, the other prominent Jujutsu High sorcerers will try to finish the job because they can only battle Sukuna after his fight with Gojo has weakened him. This gives Kenjaku an amount of time to move.

The students at Jujutsu High are waiting for Gojo, who enters escorted by Gakuganji and Utahime. While the environment remains tense, Yuji asks Gojo to deactivate his infinity so that he can pat his Sensei on the back for good luck.
