For Jujutsu Kaisen fans who have been following the anime, the manga has been progressing with crazy developments. In the latest chapters, Yuji Itadori and his allies are engaged in a crucial battle against Ryomen Sukuna in Shinjuku, with Megumi’s soul at stake.
Amidst this intense confrontation, Yuji has unlocked his own Domain Expansion, that could be a game changer in sorcerers fight against Sukuna. Here is everything we know so far about Yuji’s domain expansion.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 264 spoilers provide exciting insights into the unfolding events.
The previous chapter left readers in suspense as the battle in Shinjuku reached a critical juncture. Determined to save Megumi’s soul after failing to do so for Nobara, Yuji focused all his efforts on destroying the soul barrier between his best friend and the formidable Ryomen Sukuna.
Just as Sukuna seemed to gain the upper hand, Hana Kurusu entered the fray, unleashing her Jacob’s Ladder technique, which had nearly defeated Sukuna once before. However, the King of Curses managed to evade the attack, leaving Hana exposed.
Yuji then intervened, grabbing Sukuna and slamming him into a nearby building. Despite Sukuna’s regenerative abilities, Yuji persisted, attempting to use his Shrine cursed technique to overpower his adversary.
Then, in a highly anticipated moment, Yuji made the hand sign for Domain Expansion, catching Sukuna completely off guard. Next moment, We see Sukuna in his Yujikuna (Sukuna possessing Yuji) form sitting on a bench beside a subway station while Yuji slowly walks towards him.
According to the leaks, Yuji’s inner domain takes the form of a subway station, resembling the Kitakami station in Iwate Prefecture. While the specific details and name of his Domain Expansion are yet to be revealed, it appears to be a less offensive domain compared to Sukuna’s “Malevolent Shrine.”
Notably, the chapter also included a flashback to Yuji’s training with Satoru Gojo, who imparted the fundamental principle that “cursed techniques imbued within a domain are guaranteed to hit.” This, along with Kusakabe’s lessons on barrier techniques, likely paved the way for Yuji’s remarkable achievement.
Many fans are now speculating that Yuji’s Domain Expansion could be the key to finally defeating Sukuna. However, given that Yuji’s cursed technique is still developing compared to Sukuna’s, the outcome remains uncertain.

One interesting theory proposes that Yuji’s Domain Expansion might have a boundary, unlike Sukuna’s boundless “Malevolent Shrine.” This could imply that Yuji’s Shrine technique would only be a guaranteed hit within the confines of the subway station domain.
Another noteworthy point is that Yuji has yet to demonstrate the Divine Flames aspect of his Shrine technique. This could potentially be a decisive factor in the battle against Sukuna, who is now trapped inside Yuji’s domain in a weakened state.
As the chapter ends, Yuji calmly invites Sukuna to accompany him somewhere, which might be suggesting a potential dialogue rather than immediate further combat. The manga editor’s note at the last panel states, “This decisive 1-on-1 heads into an uncharted domain!”
With Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 265 on the horizon, readers are eagerly anticipating more information about Yuji’s Domain Expansion and its impact on the climactic battle with Sukuna. The outcome of this confrontation could have significant implications for the power dynamics in the jujutsu world.
Yuji’s growth as a sorcerer has reached a pivotal point, and the consequences of his newly acquired ability are yet to be fully explored. Hopefully the next few chapters will fully explain how Yuji’s new power works.
