Now that Jujutsu Kaisen manga has ended, we decided to do a quick review of one of the most crucial chapters of the story and give you a JJK 267 breakdown. Here, we will give you a chapter summary, along with highlights, and the online fan reaction.

JJK 267 Chapter Summary

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 267 starts with a flashback interaction between Gojo and Yuta during their body-swap training. Yuta in Gojo’s body asks Gojo who is in Yuta’s body for the location of Sukuna’s 20th finger.

With the battle of Shinjuku going on, Gege Akutami decides to give us a brief flashback which fills a much-needed information gap. Yuta is hoping to eat Sukuna’s finger and gain the cursed technique of Shrine, but Gojo doesn’t think that it will be beneficial as Yuta still won’t gain any important information about how the technique works. 

Gojo explains that while Yuta will gain Sukuna’s technique, he still won’t be able to analyze the technique properly as it will take a lot of time. Yuta agrees with it by saying that if he didn’t have Inumaki to help him, there is a lot of information he wouldn’t know about the Cursed Speech Technique.

Yuta’s Copy Technique Explained

After a heartfelt student-teacher interaction, fans finally get to know how Yuta’s technique works. The fight between Yuta and Sukuna revealed that Yuta had eaten Sukuna’s finger to copy his cursed technique, this turned out to be a bluff as JJK chapter 226 revealed that Yuta had eaten two of Yuji’s fingers to copy Shrine. 

Another flashback scene shows Yuta explaining the conditions of his copy technique. He reveals that to copy someone’s cursed technique, he has to inject that person’s body part. 

Yuta emphasizes that to copy a strong technique, he has to eat an important part of that person’s body. 

Yuta further reveals that using RCT to heal the lost body part will result in Yuta losing the copied powers. In the end, Yuta tells Yuji that Suuna’s cursed technique is ingrained in his body. 

Yuta Ate Yuji’s Finger

The conversation between Yuji and Yuta made it perfectly clear that Yuta used Yuji’s two fingers to copy the Shrine technique and tricked Sukuna into believing that his last finger was gone from this world.

While this revelation gave us a glimpse of the high battle IQ of Yuta Okkotsu, it also made us question where Sukuna’s last finger. What happened next in chapter 267 of JJK left the whole fandom in shock. 

Nobara Returns and Uses Resonance on Sukuna’s 20th Finger

Seeing Yuji’s missing fingers, Sukuna realizes Yuta’s bluff and starts thinking about where Gojo could have hidden it. Away from the Shinjuku battleground, we see Utahime and Principal Gakuganji protecting Sukuna’s last finger. 

Nobara Using Resonance

The next scene in JJK chapter 267 shows the return of Nobara Kugisaki who has healed from Mahito’s soul-crushing attack and is now wearing an eye patch. To end the battle and help her friends, Nobara uses her Resonance technique on Sukuna’s finger to leave lasting damage on the King of Curses. 

On the battlefield Sukuna gets hit with resonance, seeing the damage, Yuji realizes that Nobara is alive and hits his enemy with another Dismantle. 

Yuji Sends the Final Blow

Getting hit with another attack on his soul, Sukuna gets angry at Yuji points out the difference in their strength, and says that Yuji is on his last legs. As both enemies hit each other with another punch, Sukuna is hit with a Divergent Fist.

The blow of the punch sends Sukuna aback, this gives Yuji enough time to prepare for another punch, and decides to end the fight. The final two pages of the chapter show a double spread showing Yuji hitting Sukuna with a Black Flash.
