Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266 Delayed, New Release Date Announced (2024)

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 has the attention of all the fans right now because the upcoming chapter is likely going to be the most significant one in the battle between Yuji versus Sukuna. Fans expected the previous chapter to be incredibly action-packed. However, much to their surprise, it was a chapter where Yuji tried to use the time that he had to get through to Sukuna one last time before he resorted to using force against him. In the end, Yuji threatened Sukuna with the power of his domain, and that is where things stand right now.

JJK chapter 266 is going to see Yuji stand on this threat of his, and showcase what he can truly do and whether or not he can truly muster the power to kill the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. That and much more will be tackled in the next chapter of JJK. However, fans will have to wait longer for this chapter because it is not going to drop later this week, unfortunate as that may be. Instead, there is a new release date announced for JJK chapter 266, which fans will find all the information about below.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266 Delay And New Release Date

JJK Chapter 266 Will Drop Officially Next Week

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 is not going to drop in the upcoming week. Even though the series did not return from a break that long ago, fans are already hit with another one. For those who do not remember, JJK took a break after chapter 263, and fans got to see two chapters in succession following that. JJK chapter 264 gave readers some of the most exciting bits of the story and ended with Yuji opening his domain. JJK chapter 265 dropped recently, and fans got to see Yuji walk Sukuna through a mysterious piece of space, which he wasn't even sure if it was his domain or not. It ended with Yuji threatening Sukuna with death unless he relinquished control over Megumi and returned to his body. To this, Sukuna responded with anger of his own. He is absolutely visceral, and that is understandable. Sukuna thinks it's a slight by Yuji at him, and he has enough power to completely destroy him in every way possible and kill everyone close to him in a very cruel manner.

Of course, fans were waiting for JJK chapter 266 to drop later this week, but that is not going to happen. This is because JJK is on a break this week. Before fans assume that the author is taking another break or that something is wrong with his health, they should know that this break is not coming from the author at all. The entirety of the Jump magazine is on a break this week, and this is because the last Issue was a Double Issue. Essentially, JJK chapter 266 will come out when the Jump Magazine returns the week after. No manga running in the Weekly Shonen Jump, such as One Piece, among others, is going to be published this week, and that is expected.

Similarly, Jujutsu Kaisen is also not going to have a chapter and fans will have to wait until next week to enjoy their weekly content of JJK. As for the proper release date, fans know that JJK chapter 266's newrelease date is August 18th, 2024.

With the release date of JJK chapter 266 out of the way, it is time that fans discuss what could happen next in the upcoming chapter of the story and what it means for the future of the manga.

Yuji's Domain Attack Vs. The King Of Curses Ryomen Sukuna Begins

Yuji Itadori Will Finally Unleash Powerful Domain Attacks On Sukuna

Fans were expecting JJK chapter 265 to cover the battle between Yuji and Sukuna in great detail; however, that was not to be the case. Fans did not get to witness the battle between these two giants in the previous chapter, and that means the next chapter is what every fan has their eye on at the moment. JJK after 266 is likely going to showcase the incredible battle between Yuji and Sukuna inside his domain. Yuji did not showcase any of his powers in the previous chapter, which means the burden is on the upcoming chapter to showcase what he can truly do and what his full capabilities are within his domain. Fans will definitely get to see Yuji's capabilities, his strengths and weaknesses, and, more importantly, the logic of his domain.

As things stand, Yuji will likely use his Shrine technique within the domain. While nothing is clear about his domain, fans would guess that it works somewhat similar to Sukuna's very own, given that the technique that he is going to imbue inside his domain is likely going to be the Shrine. It was also hinted at in the previous chapter, and fans will most definitely get to see that soon enough. When that happens, Yuji is going to unleash a barrage of powerful attacks on the King of Curses, and it will be extremely interesting to see how he deals with this situation.

Yuji's Cutting-Based Attacks Will Get Rid Of The King Of Curses

Yuji versus Sukuna is going to be an incredibly exciting battle inside the domain. For one, fans know that Yuji should have the upper hand in this battle at the moment. Furthermore, in the previous chapter, Yuji clearly stated that he could kill Sukuna. This likely was not a bluff from Yuji, and he truly believes that he has the power to end him. Furthermore, Sukuna doesn't have access to his domain right now, so, as a result, Yuji could potentially defeat him before his techniques even return or before he uses the Reverse Cursed Technique to refill his burnt-out cursed technique.

Either way, Sukuna still looks like he's underestimating Yuji, and because of that, he is going to pay a heavy price. It makes perfect sense for Yuji to win the battle here, especially because he's the main character, and there has been a long build-up for him to reach this level of strength. If Yuji is to surpass Sukuna, he has to defeat him here. He still holds enough potential to reach the same level as him and surpass him, as was confirmed by both Sukuna and Uraume in the story. All he has to do is to reach the next level of strength and hopefully beat the King of Curses inside his domain.

Based on what was established previously, JJK chapter 266, or the chapter following that, will likely showcase Yuji forcing Sukuna to relinquish control from Megumi's body, and either taking him back inside of his own body, or sealing him somehow once again.

Jujutsu Kaisen is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266, is set to be August 18, 2024.
