Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 141

   

 Summary:

Reminded of Nanami's last words, Yuji refuses to die for now and continues to resist his execution. However, Yuta unleashes his strange powers to finish the job and reveal the new "Riku". Meanwhile, Choso continues to clash with Naoya, but struggles against his overwhelming speed.

Plot:

Yuta stays on the offensive with his katana, and though Yuji dodges most of his blows, one of them scrapes across his face, opening a cut. Realizing that he has to do something with Yuta's katana, he remembers his fight against Jiro Awasaka and reminds himself that while he doesn't have to fear the blade, if he powers his body with the cursed energy, he can't underestimate someone like Yuta. As he rushes to a large SUV and jumps inside the open window, he spots a knife on the seat and quickly picks it up before jumping out the opposite window.

Yuta jumps over the hood and attacks with his katana, but Yuji uses his survival knife to block the attack. Yuta is taken aback at first and wonders where he got it, but quickly realizes that it must have been inside the SUV. He tells himself that if it's not a cursed tool, he doesn't need to worry about it. Yuji lunges forward and tells himself to close the gap after imbuing the knife with cursed energy. He then remembers Gojo's words about not relying on cursed tools at the expense of controlling cursed energy, and adds that he's not ready for that yet (and that Slaughter Demon is just in case).

When the two clash, Yuji knows he hasn't learned to fight this way, and Yuta tells him he's focusing too much on his katana, suddenly raising it above his head and kicking Yuji in the stomach. Yuji can't believe the force of his kick, but even though he quickly recovers, Yuji's next punch breaks Yuji's knife and cuts through his stomach. However, as Yuta's katana sank into the ground, Yuji pinned her and broke the blade with his foot. Yuta is surprised at first, but reminds himself that he is Goya's student and says out loud that the fight won't be easy.

Even though Yuji's wound is deep, he tells himself that his vitals are intact and that they are both now unarmed. But as he moves forward to strike, a large creature suddenly appears behind him and wraps both arms around his head. Yuji is frozen in fear and Yuta tells Risa that the two were just playing. Yuji doesn't know what to make of the name and wonders if it's a shikigami, telling himself that he can't move because he's too strong. Yuta tells Riko to keep Yuji calm and calmly stabs him in the chest with the broken katana. As blood drips from Yuji's mouth, Yuta looks into his eyes and apologizes. Sukuna is taken aback at first, but soon smiles.

Back in the tunnel, Choso struggles to keep up with the speed of Naoyi, who uses her projection sorcery and follows up with a hard punch to Choso's midriff. Choso shakes off the attack, telling himself that he has no idea what cursed technique Naoya is using and that he most likely won't reveal it since he's winning so easily. Naoya continues to overwhelm with punches and Choso says that Convergence is out of the question since he can't even control the blood outside of his body. Naoya compliments him on his toughness and asks who he is. Choso confidently states that he is the eldest of ten siblings and suddenly uses Flowing Red Scale: Stack, changing the markings on his face and causing new ones to appear.
