Jujutsu Kaisen delivered yet another shocking chapter last week. Yuta and Yuji joined hands against the King of Curses and were brilliant in the fight. They desperately struggled to not only defeat their enemy but also to save their friend Megumi. Chapter 251 features several incredible moments as the fight gets more intense. We also see a brief glimpse of Megumi breaking down. Yuji and Yuta lose the battle after taking serious damage. Not only that, but Maki joins the battle at the end of the chapter. Yuji and Yuta are still clearly alive, so there\u2019s a chance that they might get back up soon again. Even so, the battle against the strongest is at its final stretch as Gojo\u2019s students have taken center stage. Delve deeper to find out how Jujutsu Kaisen\u2019s latest chapter references the popular Demon Slayer character. Jujutsu Kaisen features a Demon Slayer reference in Chapter 251 During the short time between Gojo\u2019s return and the battle of the strongest, everyone\u2019s skills improved tremendously. They all trained to be prepared in case Gojo lost the battle. Nonetheless, the one who changed the most is Yuji Itadori. Yuji said that in order to save Megumi, he will eat anything he has to, as long as he can increase his powers. In Chapter 220, the series hints that Yuji consumed the remaining Death Paintings (Choso and his siblings) to get more power. Chapter 247 also discreetly hints that Yuji uses Choso\u2019s Piercing Blood, but it remains uncertain if it is Yuji or Choso. However, as the fight continues in Chapter 251, Yuji surprises the King of Curses with an insane technique. He first spits a mouthful of blood on Sukuna\u2019s face and later explodes it. The technique seems to be an extension of Blood Manipulation. However, Demon Slayer\u2019s beloved character, Nezuko, also has the same ability. Gege Akutami often subtly references some popular works in his manga, so it wouldn\u2019t be odd if the similarity in Yuji\u2019s and Nezuko\u2019s powers is intentional. While Yuji is a human using cursed energy, Nezuko\u2019s powers stem from her demonic transformation. Like every powerful demon, she can use a Blood Demon Art. Nezuko\u2019s technique, \u201cExploding Blood,\u201d is a technique of her Blood Demon Art, \u201cCombustible Blood.\u201d It allows her to ignite the blood that has exited her body, turning it into pinkish-crimson flames that are harmful only to demons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jujutsu Kaisen features an iconic Demon Slayer reference CrunchyrollThe latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen manga subtly features similarities with a popular Demon Slayer character.
