Sukuna is getting the Mahito treatment, but with a bit more emotion.

Chapter 268, titled “Conclusion,” begins with Sukuna confronting Megumi Fushiguro’s soul. He taunts Megumi about his inability to live a proper life, but Sukuna’s monologue is abruptly halted as Yuji launches a powerful attack. Using his Divergent Fist and a Black Flash, Yuji begins to tear Sukuna away from Megumi’s body. This significant moment marks the beginning of Sukuna’s downfall and the liberation of Megumi.

Yuji’s relentless onslaught forces Sukuna to face his own mortality. The revelation that Sukuna fears death is striking, especially as Yuji’s attacks sever his connection to the real world. In Sukuna’s final moments, Yuji offers him a chance to exist not as a curse but to live alongside someone, which enrages Sukuna. Sukuna’s acknowledgment of Yuji by his full name, for the first time, adds a poignant touch to their confrontation.

Uraume, upon realizing Sukuna’s defeat, opts to end her own life, declaring that without Sukuna, there is no point in existing.
