Table of Content
Chapter 269 of Jujutsu Kaisen kicks off the beginning of the end. Titled “Examination,” this chapter delivers heavy dialogue, crucial character moments, and hilarious banter – all while setting up the final showdown. Let’s dive into this chapter as if we’re flipping through the manga panels ourselves.
Mei Mei’s Candy Store Adventure (Wait, What?!)
Our chapter starts off… with MeiMei. At a candy store of all places? She’s chatting with an old shopkeeper, asking about candy prices like everything isn’t completely falling apart outside. It feels random, but it might just be the calm before the storm. Then, just like that, we jump to…
Maki vs. YUTA (The Tension is Real)
Maki is screaming at YUTA! The battle’s over, but Maki is not letting it go. She’s pissed, accusing YUTA of thinking everything’s fine just because he’s back in his own body. But there’s something new: YUTA’s forehead now has Kenjaku’s scar. Yep, he’s carrying more than just memories from that fight.
Megumi comes, feeling “foggy” after the battle, probably due to the effects of Unlimited Void. But the real spotlight stays on Maki, who cuts off any awkwardness between YUTA and the others. She’s not here for apologies—she wants answers.
Kusakabe Drops Some Wisdom
While Yuji starts apologizing, Kusakabe interrupts with his usual bluntness. He drops a truth bomb: “This is all because Gojo didn’t kill Yuji when he had the chance.” But instead of blaming anyone, Kusakabe adds that every side had its truth. It’s a reflection on the complexity of the choices made so far. His advice? Don’t feel guilty—it’s the adults who should bear the shame.
YUTA’s Survival – Thanks to Rika (And Reverse Cursed Techniques)
Then, we get a huge reveal. YUTA explains how he survived: thanks to Rika and her constant reverse curse technique keeping him alive. Even though YUTA swapped bodies with Gojo, Rika stayed connected to him, helping maintain his body alongside Shoko’s efforts. Talk about teamwork.
But wait—Kenjaku’s barrier techniques played a big part too. According to Kusakabe, Kenjaku used his millennia of experience to separate cursed techniques in his own mind, allowing him to outlast YUTA. YUTA’s return was no miracle—it was a masterclass in cursed energy management.
Maki’s Frustration and Hindsight (The What-Ifs)
Then, we get a huge reveal. YUTA explains how he survived: thanks to Rika and her constant reverse curse technique keeping him alive. Even though YUTA swapped bodies with Gojo, Rika stayed connected to him, helping maintain his body alongside Shoko’s efforts. Talk about teamwork.
But Kenjaku’s barrier techniques played a big part too. According to Kusakabe, Kenjaku used his millennia of experience to separate cursed techniques in his own mind, allowing him to outlast YUTA. YUTA’s return was no miracle—it was a masterclass in cursed energy management.
It’s a big moment where the characters, and even creator Gege Akutami, address the “what if” scenarios fans have been speculating about.
Reflecting on the Battle (And Some Comic Relief)
Then, we get a huge reveal. YUTA explains how he survived: thanks to Rika and her constant reverse curse technique keeping him alive. Even though YUTA swapped bodies with Gojo, Rika stayed connected to him, helping maintain his body alongside Shoko’s efforts. Talk about teamwork.

Miwa, Momo, and Everyone Else Join In
The chapter wouldn’t be complete without other side characters throwing in their two cents. Miwa admits she was terrified during the battle, while Momo says she was happy to give MeiMei the perfect broom ride into action. This lighthearted banter between the characters adds a touch of humor, especially after such a heavy fight.
Hakari apologizes for not being able to help more with Sukuna, and Nobara reminds everyone that she was unconscious for most of the battle—so, not much she could’ve done either.
Responsibility and Regret (But Mostly Blame)
By the end of the chapter, the conversation turns to regrets, but Maki makes it clear she’s not blaming YUTA for everything. There’s a quick mention of her being hit with two black flashes, showing her resilience.
Then, in true Jujutsu Kaisen fashion, the scene turns to humor as Kirara accuses UIUI of leaving her behind in the middle of the fight, He dismisses it, calling her “heavy.” The comic back-and-forth reminds readers that despite all the tension and battles, these characters are still a team.
Conclusion: The Endgame Is Near
Jujutsu Kaisen manga Chapter 269 concludes with extensive reflection and joking among the main squad. With two chapters remaining, the stakes are high, and the final clash feels closer than ever. The characters are throwing it all on the line, admitting their faults and plans, and the tension between them is noticeable, but it is balanced by the comedy and companionship that make this series so interesting.
