Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269: The Secrets Of The New Shadow Style

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269: The Secrets Of The New Shadow Style

As a devoted fan of Jujutsu Kaisen for quite some time now, I must say that the latest revelations about the New Shadow Style and its enigmatic leaders have left me absolutely spellbound! It’s fascinating to delve into this intricate world, where power, secrecy, and life-altering pacts are commonplace.


This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269.

Chapter 269 of Jujutsu Kaisen was undeniably gripping, and it’s fair to say that it ranked among the most captivating instalments fans have read recently. Action enthusiasts might find this chapter less engaging, but for those who appreciate world-building and background details, chapter 269 significantly enriched the narrative. Regrettably, similar to other story elements, these additions seemed a bit late in coming, and they would have had more impact if they were introduced earlier in the storyline.

As a devoted fan of JJK, I can’t help but marvel at Gege’s ability to keep us hooked with new mysteries and captivating plot twists. Chapter 269 was no exception, as it delved into the complexities of Yuta’s survival against Sukuna and left no stone unturned. And here we are, with just two chapters left in this mesmerizing manga!

Yuta’s Survival Was Finally Explained In JJK Chapter 269

  • Yuta Was Cut Down By Sukuna
  • Yuta Switched To Gojo’s Body

In chapter 269 of JJK, the main topic that sparked conversation among fans was Yuta’s miraculous survival. Author Gege swiftly addressed the issue and confirmed to readers that Yuta was indeed alive. Fans were anticipating an in-depth exploration of Yuta’s return to his body, but this week’s chapter focused on a straightforward explanation instead. It was revealed that Yuta had essentially teleported back to his primary body thanks to Rika. Gege didn’t delve deep into the details, making it easy for fans to understand. When Yuta lost control over the Copy technique in Gojo’s body, he fainted. Meanwhile, Rika was continually using a reverse cursed technique on Yuta’s original body, keeping him connected to the real world. This allowed Yuta to switch back to his true body when the technique returned to him. Thanks to Rika’s efforts, Yuta avoided death and managed to return to his main body with minimal complications. Granted, Yuta bears a scar, but considering the gravity of his actions, he seems to have escaped relatively unscathed.

It’s unclear if Gojo is alive or has come back, but it seems the upcoming chapters will delve into this part of the story. A significant portion of JJK chapter 269 revolved around various sorcerers admitting their mistakes and suggesting alternative paths that might have led to a quicker, easier victory against Sukuna. However, regardless of what transpired, it’s all in the past. The sorcerers were fortunate to escape with minimal harm, and the fact that they had Gojo on their side, who incapacitated Sukuna significantly, was their good fortune.

The New Shadow Style School Was Finally Explained To The Fans

The Disciples Of The New Shadow style Are Few

Intriguingly, the standout aspect of chapter 269 of JJK revolved around Kusakabe and Mei Mei, as they discussed the evolution of the Shadow Style over time. The new Shadow Style was initially restricted due to it being monopolized by certain individuals who didn’t want it to fall into the hands of curse users. This secretive practice was maintained for years, but eventually, things shifted and the New Shadow Style began to be taught in exchange for valuable items. When a new order emerged, the head of the New Shadow style essentially drained lifespans from people in return for their commitment to learn the Simple Domain via Binding Vows.

In parallel, followers of the New Shadow Style found themselves unable to ignore a call from its head. The years added onto their own lifespans by taking those of their disciples, extending their lives and strengthening them. If ever the head of the New Shadow Style perished, another would rise from within its ranks, though their identity remained hidden. This secretive nature was maintained over time. Currently, the head of the New Shadow Style is Kusakabe, a position made possible by Mei Mei’s efforts. It was Mei Mei who identified the current leader, thanks to Tengen’s assistance. Tengen proved to be indispensable in this quest, as their insights guided Mei Mei to locate the leader, ultimately leading to her demise.

With Kusakabe now in charge, there are no more limitations on the New Shadow Style, making it easier for individuals like Yuji, among others, to learn it effortlessly. The smooth progression of events might not have occurred if not for Kusakabe and Mei Mei’s collaboration; otherwise, Sukuna may not have been defeated as successfully as he was.

A Possible Sequel?

Jujutsu Kaisen Still Has Many Loose Ends

As a devoted JJK fan, I was absolutely thrilled when chapter 269 unveiled the details of the New Shadow Style, but it also shed light on the Three Great Families. In the enchanting realm of JJK, we’re all familiar with three influential clans: the Zenin family, the Kamo family, and the Gojo family. It’s no secret that the Zenin family has suffered greatly due to Maki’s ruthless massacre. However, chapter 269 hinted that both the Gojo and Kamo families might face ruin too. Given that Gojo has perished, it’s safe to say the Gojo family is now in a precarious position. As for the Kamo family, we’re still waiting to discover their fate.

Given Mei Mei’s statement, it appears that the Gojo and Kamo family could potentially find themselves in a perilous situation. Some interpretations suggest that these families might even engage in conflict with each other, leading to mutual destruction. However, it remains unclear which interpretation is correct at this moment, considering the inconsistencies in the official translations of JJK. Nevertheless, it’s clear that such a scenario could provide material for Part 2 of JJK if the author chooses to explore it.

Without a doubt, there’s plenty of content available for a continuation of Jujutsu Kaisen, and I truly hope that the author eventually chooses to create a sequel. If he does, he can delve deeper into the characters we know, perhaps encountering larger and more significant perils along the way. Even if new threats don’t arise, the world itself is engaging enough to sustain an ongoing narrative.

You can read “Jujutsu Kaisen” through Viz Media, with official and free access available on both the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. Fans are eagerly waiting for the next installment, which is scheduled to be released as “Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 270” on September 22, 2024.
