Chapter 246 picks up amid the desperate battle between Ryomen Sukuna and the coalition of sorcerers. The spotlight falls on Hiromi Higuruma, who emerges as a pivotal figure in the fight and a possible successor to Gojo’s legacy.
Kusakabe takes strategic action by activating a Simple Domain, which serves to weaken Sukuna’s overwhelmingly lethal attacks and buys precious time for his allies. In doing so, Kusakabe also unveils crucial information about Sukuna’s cursed technique patterns and limitations, providing a much-needed tactical advantage.
Meanwhile, Higuruma confronts the limitations of his own abilities — particularly his inability to use the Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT). Resolute and seeking redemption for his past mistakes, Higuruma makes a bold decision to face Sukuna head-on. Demonstrating significant growth, he unlocks Domain Amplification, a technique typically reserved for seasoned sorcerers.
His rapid mastery stuns both allies and Sukuna himself, who acknowledges Higuruma’s burgeoning strength and hints at the young sorcerer’s potential to someday rival Satoru Gojo. The chapter builds to a climactic moment as Higuruma and Sukuna square off, setting the stage for a high-stakes, emotionally charged showdown.
