Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 198 Initial spoiler

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 197 ended on a major cliffhanger with an enraged Naoya going all out in his fight against Maki. Here is some spoil about the next chapter 198.

 

The opening of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 198, Naoya has undergone a dramatic and swift transition from a cursed spirit that resembled a worm to a cocoon-like form, and finally to what appears to be a humanoid form. Therefore, it is unclear if his domain will be polished enough to overwhelm Maki.

Naoya’s obsession with proving that Maki is not like Toji suggests that he will try to trap her alone in his domain, especially since she cannot use cursed energy. The former taunted her in chapter 197, stating that she can’t harm a cursed spirit without using weapons or physical attacks imbued with cursed energy.

It is evident that Daidou is not hostile towards Maki and might hand her back her sword right before she gets trapped within Naoya’s domain.

Chapter 198 might finally shed some light on the true nature of the sword Mai crafted for Maki while dying. It might further reveal if the sword is cursed or if Maki’s superior strength and fine-tuned senses would be enough to kill Naoya even with a weapon with no cursed energy.
