Jujutsu Kaisen delays “shocking” Chapter 249
CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249 is rumored to be extremely shocking – but the manga has taken an unexpected hiatus with another delay.
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga is currently in its final stretch, featuring the battle against Sukuna, the King of Curses. The situation is going from bad to worse as more and more sorcerers sacrifice themselves to stop the villains. Sukuna’s also victims continue to increase, as the recent chapter features Hiromi Higuruma’s death.
Higuruma entrusts his will to Yuji before taking his final breath. The chapter ends with Yuji trying to stab Sukuna with Higuruma’s Executioner’s Sword. Sukuna’s victims will continue to increase even after Higuruma’s death.
Jujutsu Kaisen will return with Chapter 248 this week, but Chapter 249, which is said to be one of the most shocking chapters is unexpectedly delayed. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249 release date
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249 is expected to be released on February 4. Chapter 247 was released on Friday, January 5, instead of Sunday. It was out after Shonen Jump’s Christmas holiday. After this, the publication takes another break for the New Year holiday.
It’s not just Jujutsu Kaisen – all the ongoing Weekly Shonen Jump series, such as One Piece, My Hero Academia, and more, followed the same schedule. WSJ is returning with its 8th issue on January 21, which will have Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248. However, JJK will not be included in the 9th issue. Since there’s no break from the publication, the hiatus must be because of Gege Akuatmi’s schedule.
Apparently, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249 is rumored to be one of the most shocking episodes. In an interview, the hosts arrived at Jujutsu Kaisen editor Junya Fukuda’s workplace when he was editing the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Fukuda said he was checking the drafts of Chapter 249.
The host said: “Oh! That’s why I’ve never seen this scene before.” Fukuda responded: “This is a shocking scene.” The host again said: “It’s an extraordinary scene. But I still can’t take my eyes off it.”
The computer screen was blurred in the broadcast, but it’s still sparking several theories among fans. Considering their reaction, it’s highly likely that Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249 might even be more shocking than Gojo’s death.
