Summary of Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) Chapter 45
Megumi bravely confronts Sukuna in a life-or-death battle. Though clearly outmatched, he demonstrates strategic brilliance by summoning multiple Shikigami and manipulating the battlefield. Sukuna, intrigued rather than enraged, holds back just enough to test Megumi’s potential. This unusual dynamic—one of respect cloaked in menace—adds psychological depth to the battle. Sukuna ultimately leaves, returning Yuji’s body, which now lies heartless. The chapter’s ending is haunting, as Yuji collapses in death, his sacrifice seemingly complete.
