While Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 268 concludes the clash against Sukuna, it may not spell a happy ending for everyone, as the chapter hints at a bleak fate for Yuta.
Yuta Okkotsuis currently in a bind. Despite being one of the strongest characters inJujutsu Kaisen, he’s also the one to take the most damage (aside from dying, that is). After being defeated bySukunaduring theShinjuku Showdown Arc, he took a drastic step.
Copying Kenjaku’s cursed technique, Yuta transferred his brain into Gojo’s corpse. This allowed him to use the Six Eyes and Limitless but also took away his humanity. From then on, he’d have to live his whole life inside someone else’s dead body.
While this was bleak enough, it could get darker. Toward the end ofJujutsu Kaisen Chapter 268, we seeYuji,Megumi, andNobaraheading to ‘help’ Yuta afterSukuna’s defeat. When they reach the venue, we see many sorcerers there, including Yuta’s classmates, Kusakabe, Miwa, and Momo.
IS YUTA ALIVE????? IS HE BADLY HURT????? MAKI LOOK WORRY AND PISSEDYUTAAAA COME BACK!!!#jjk268pic.twitter.com/e552R7wEwD
All of them look serious and morose; one even shouts at Yuta, who doesn’t appear in the chapter. Judging by their expressions, it could be something very sad, especially since the conditions forYuta’s transformationare still quite murky.
Thanks to this scene, fans are worried about the fan-favorite character. But they’re still hoping for the best for Yuta. One such fantweeted, “YUTA NATION WE MUST NOT GIVE UP!”
“IF YUTA DIES I WILL GO INSANE,”wrotesomeone else. Anotherjoined, “WHY WASN’T YUTA SHOWN WITH THE REST OF THEM IN THE LAST PAGE??? WHY WASN’T HE SHOWN???”

One fanposted: “If everyone gets to heal and live their lives normally except Yuta cause he is stuck in Gojo’s body or he DIES, you’ll see me on the news istg.”
