Chapter 264 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga is here, and it has changed the story forever! With the chapter changing the course of the finale of the series, let’s talk about how Yuji gained the ability to use Domain Expansion!
How Did Yuji Unlock His Domain Expansion?
In Chapter 264 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, after Angel fails to finish off Sukuna, Todo uses his body to protect her, and the immense pressure on Yuji allows him to unlock a previous memory to guarantee that his Soul Slash hits, hence unlocking the Domain Expansion.
While this sums it up, there’s a lot to unpack here!
In the chapter, Sukuna has finally healed his arms thanks to black flash that restored his RCT Output.
In Chapter 258 we learn that he established a unique relay to disperse the burden of using it to a separate section in his brain.
Before hand, Yuji’s soul punches trampled on his desire to bring his arms back, but the sparks of black returned to it’s master, which allowed him to do Domain Expansion.
And Although Yuji made Sukuna Vomit via Cleave in Chapter 263 which should have stopped his RCT yet again, entering the awakened state has proven to be fruitful as the Black Flash on Todo reaped a reward.
With his advantage of 4 arms back, he calmly assesses that he doesn’t need to do anything risky as Sukuna absolutely overpowers Yuji in hand-to-hand combat.
He claims that all he needs to do is wait for his technique to recover because Yuji poses no threat to his life.
However, Yuji still tries to use Soul Dismantle on him but this only proves Sukuna’s point. It surely is a lethal technique that would be fatal but it can’t hurt him if Yuji can’t land it!
At this moment, Yuji also had the same thought and realized that there is only one way to guarantee that his attack hits Sukuna, especially against a opponent who hasn’t recovered his CT yet…Remember Yuta in Gojo’s body made Sukuna have Burn Out in Chapter 263.
The moment we have all waited for has arrived! The Domain Expansion!
Yuji remembers the lesson Gojo taught him in Jogo’s domain and he leverages the knowledge of barriers he learned from Kusakabe to finally unleash his double middle finger domain!
Yuji and Sukuna have reached a train station in the same way that Gojo ended up at the airport. It’s very likely that they’re both representations of hell and heaven respectively, and in the most poetic way possible.
