Jujutsu Kaisen summary
Chapter 30: Selfishness
After the intense battle, Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki take a moment to catch their breath, their bodies bruised and battered. The adrenaline of the fight begins to fade, leaving them with the weight of their thoughts. Yuji’s mind drifts to the concept of selfishness—how much of what he does is truly for others, and how much is driven by his own desire to be strong, to survive?
Megumi stands quietly, his gaze distant. The sacrifices required of a jujutsu sorcerer are immense, and Megumi grapples with the notion of what it means to protect others. He questions his own motivations—whether he fights for the sake of others, or if there’s a deeper, more selfish reason behind his actions. The lines between selflessness and selfishness blur in his mind, as he contemplates the choices he’s made.
Nobara leans against the wall, her body aching from the battle. She thinks about the path she’s chosen, the dangers that come with being a jujutsu sorcerer. For her, the thrill of battle is undeniable, but she also recognizes the risks. Nobara reflects on her own desires—to prove herself, to be seen as strong and capable. She knows there’s a selfishness in wanting to be the best, but she’s come to accept that it’s a part of who she is.
As they prepare to leave the scene, the trio is left with their own thoughts, each grappling with the complex emotions that come with being a jujutsu sorcerer. The road ahead is uncertain, and the challenges they face will only grow more intense. But for now, they find solace in knowing that they are not alone in their struggles, and that together, they can face whatever comes next.
