The leak of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 252 on social media today has once again highlighted the big questions that fans had to ponder after Yuta suffered a major setback that left everyone heartbroken. In the previous chapter, Yuji entered Megumi’s soul while Yuuta saved her from Sukuna’s World Cutting Slash. The unprecedented attack left Utah’s fate hanging in the balance. Maki came to the rescue as she charged with her Split Soul Katana at the last moment. New spoilers for the upcoming manga version shed light on what awaits these characters next as much of their fate is revealed in the process.

JJK Chapter 252 Leaked
The next chapter is reportedly titled ‘Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Shodown, Part 24’. According to Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 252 spoilers, the upcoming events will see Ino, Maki, and Kusakabe reunited shining on Yuta’s Domain Barrier. They each make their own speculations about the domain, while Maki prepares herself to move into it.
As the domain breaks, Kusakabe alerts Maki to patiently watch for Yuta’s signal. She engages Sukuna in a fight. Meanwhile, Rika supports Yuta before Ui Ui arrives, who can aid Yuta in transforming into Shoko. This is presumably done to speed up his healing process, thereby confirming that Yuta is, after all, alive and in need of saving.

A Gojo Enthusiasts on X (formerly Twitter) also considered the idea that Satoru was also possibly taken away just so he could recover while in hiding. yet another Twitterati shared Similar thought: “If Choso can make a comeback then Gojo can make a comeback too.”
Meanwhile, Maki keeps Sukuna occupied. Despite his mean attacks on her, Sukuna stands firm. Soon, he catches the drift and realizes that Yuta has deliberately broken his domain. No matter how fast his mind works through all this, his body is unlikely to keep up, especially with Maki’s attacks weakening his grip. New JJK spoilers also reveal the great powers of the Split Soul Katana, as its deadly effects cannot be reversed with the Reverse Cursed technique.
Sukuna’s physical injuries from the conflict with Gojo also factor into the story as they hinder his healing. Despite all this, he continues to defend himself, but Maki repeatedly avoids all his attempts to attack him. Sukuna can use cursed energy to facilitate blood circulation, but his power is out of reserve option.
Despite his lack of fuel, it is very likely that he is attempting to unleash the ultimate power of his strength, which he has not done so far. Some fan discussions are also considering the possibility of Maki dying on the battlefield. Nevertheless, Maki would prevail as the ‘GOAT’ as Sukuna would also realize that Maki could see through his techniques better than other magicians.
