Jujutsu Kaisen summary
Chapter 26: To You Someday
Yuji Itadori stands silently on the rooftop of the Jujutsu High building, the cool breeze brushing against his face. His eyes, filled with contemplation, trace the horizon as the memories of recent battles replay in his mind. The raw power of Sukuna—the cursed spirit residing within him—haunts his every thought, a constant reminder of the danger he poses to those he cares about. Despite the lingering fear, Yuji's resolve hardens, driven by the promise he made to his grandfather to help others and by the bond he's formed with his friends.
Down in the school courtyard, Megumi Fushiguro sits alone on a bench, his gaze fixed on the ground beneath him. The weight of his responsibilities as a jujutsu sorcerer presses heavily on his shoulders. Thoughts of his sister and the choices that led him to this path swirl in his mind. The battles they've fought together, the curses they've faced—all of it makes Megumi question his own strength and whether he’s truly capable of protecting those he loves. Yet, this self-doubt also ignites a deeper determination within him to grow stronger, to face his fears head-on.
Inside the school, Nobara Kugisaki strides confidently down the hallway, her footsteps echoing in the empty space. Despite her outward bravado, the recent battles have left their mark on her. She thinks back to the moments where her life hung by a thread, realizing that strength alone may not be enough. As she passes by a window, she catches a glimpse of herself and pauses, gripping the handle of her hammer tightly. The thought of relying on her teammates, of trusting others, is something she’s still grappling with. For Nobara, independence has always been her armor, but now she’s starting to see the cracks in that armor and the strength that comes from being part of a team.
The three sorcerers converge in the school's training room, where they exchange brief glances that convey more than words ever could. They each carry their own burdens, but they are united by their shared purpose. The silence between them is heavy with the understanding that the road ahead will only grow more treacherous. Yet, in that silence, there is also a mutual resolve. They have survived together so far, and they will continue to face whatever comes next—together.
