Jujutsu Kaisen summary
Chapter 27: What If
Yuji Itadori sits alone in his room, the weight of the world pressing down on his shoulders. His mind races with thoughts of "what if"—what if Sukuna takes control again? What if he fails to protect his friends? The scenarios play out in his head, each one more terrifying than the last. Yuji knows that every choice he makes could lead to disaster, not just for him but for those he cares about. He clenches his fists, determined to stay strong despite the fears that gnaw at him. The memory of his grandfather’s last words and the bond he’s formed with Megumi and Nobara are what keep him grounded.
Elsewhere in the school, Megumi Fushiguro walks through the quiet halls, lost in his own thoughts. The responsibilities of being a jujutsu sorcerer are heavier than he ever imagined. He thinks about his sister, about the promises he’s made, and about the battles he’s fought alongside Yuji and Nobara. The fear of not being strong enough, of failing those he loves, haunts him. Yet, within this fear, there is a burning resolve. Megumi knows that he must continue to push himself, to grow stronger, for the sake of everyone he holds dear. As he walks, he silently vows to never let his doubts stop him.
Nobara Kugisaki is in the training room, her cursed tools laid out before her. She methodically sharpens her nails, her thoughts drifting back to the battles they’ve faced. Her confidence is unshaken, but the recent events have made her reconsider her approach. Nobara has always prided herself on her independence, but she’s beginning to understand that relying on her teammates doesn’t make her weak. She pauses for a moment, her reflection staring back at her from a nearby mirror. The realization that strength can also come from trust is something she’s slowly coming to terms with.
The trio gathers in the courtyard, each lost in their own thoughts but united in purpose. As they prepare for their next mission, the weight of what lies ahead is evident in their eyes. They don’t speak much, but the unspoken understanding between them is clear—they are in this together, and they will face whatever comes next as a team.
