Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 259 release date and time, explained

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 259 releases on May 12, 2024 at 8 a.m. PT/ 11 a.m. ET/ 12 a.m. JST. Although most chapters launch weekly, this chapter was pushed back for another seven days. Fortunately, the wait isn’t too long, so it should arrive in no time. 

Where to read Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 259

For those eager to dive into Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 259, you can find it on Viz Media or Manga Plus. The best part? It’s completely free to read on both platforms within a reasonable time frame. Even better, the three most recent chapters are typically available to all, regardless of subscription status.

At the time of writing, Chapters 256, 257, and 258 are free to read for those who need to catch up. However, the subsequent chapters in the series require a subscription on the respective platforms.

What to expect in JJK Chapter 259

The only information we can gather about Chapter 259 derives from Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258. So, if you haven’t read it yet, turn away to avoid spoilers.

In this latest arc, the storyline takes a thrilling turn as Yuji Itadori faces off against the formidable Sukuna. After gaining the upper hand with his Black Flash, Itadori now finds himself up against Sukuna’s brutal attacks. More importantly, we finally know the name of his mysterious fiery ability, which definitely does the technique justice. 

Just as the chapter is about to close, Sukuna reveals the “Divine Flame” as a fire emerges from his hands. You may remember this ability from the Shibuya Incident arc, when Jogo gets engulfed in his flames. The technique has yet to be explicitly explained, so Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 259 will likely dive into Sukuna’s Divine Flame. 

Whatever the case may be, Yuji will undoubtedly have his plate full with this blazing technique. We’ll just have to see how he handles it and whether he has what it takes to go against this demonic enemy.
