The Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 253 is set to release on March 11, 2024, and the recent spoilers have dropped some striking bombshells to begin with. One of the most concerning events regarding the Maki vs Sukuna battle has left fans asking the most perturbing questions at this hour – ‘Is Maki dead?‘ While this has to be answered without any bias, two characters namely Kusakabe and Usami in Jujutsu Kaisen have also managed to attract the readers’ attention.
The battle between Maki and Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen 253 takes an unexpected and unsettling path when Maki tries to take it upon herself to finish off Sukuna. On the other hand, Kusakabe in Jujutsu Kaisen is chiefly a part of a flashback. This play of memory and reality has greatly managed to shape a chapter that has put our hearts on the edge of the cliff.

Sukuna’s soul-piercing Black Flash hits Maki: Will she survive?
According to Maki’s observation in the ongoing battle, Sukuna has refrained from using the Reversed Curse Technique to heal himself. Seeing an opening and an opportunity to corner the King of Curses into a checkmate, Maki decides to approach him with a seizing slash. However, falling debris and an adrenaline panic soon take over Maki’s instincts and she barely notices Sukuna sneaking up on her.
All of the events conspire in Maki falling into Sukuna’s gut-wrenching Black Flash, one that injures her morbidly and sends her flying away. A battle between Jujutsu sorcery and pure physical strength has simply marked its end with Maki exiting this ferocious rebellion. However, she is definitely not killed by Sukuna’s attack.
Maki does not own any form of Jujutsu sorcery and cannot perform cursed techniques. On that note, she is merely a human who was fatally wounded by a demon who notably calls himself the King of Curses. Seeing that RCT is out of her options to heal herself and Yuta is currently not present on the battlefield, Maki can only return to face off against Sukuna once she has healed herself outside the domain.
Sukuna’s next foe in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 253
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 253 spoilers have already intimated the fact that the Maki and Sukuna battle is out of the equation for a few more chapters. At the same time, Kusakabe has finally popped into the picture and stands alone against Sukuna in this ruthless battle of playful death.
- Kusakabe in Jujutsu Kaisen is the strongest Grade 1 sorcerer according to Mei Mei, Nanami, and Gojo, something that has been shown as a flashback in JJK 253 spoilers.
- However, Kusakabe quickly rejects this claim and says that it must be someone apart from him and Usami.
- Here again, Usami in Jujutsu Kaisen still remains a mysterious character and his origin or relevance remains a mysterious part of a memory play.
Given the fact that Yuji is still recovering from his excessive and careless use of RCT and Yuta and Choso being gravely injured, it is finally leading to a Kusakabe vs Sukuna showdown. However, in such dire circumstances, Kusakabe will be in urgent need of reinforcements and would require Yuji and Yuta’s assistance in giving this battle the shape that it requires to bring down Sukuna. Only a well-executed team-up in Jujutsu Kaisen could work a miracle at this hour.
Maki vs Sukuna is more than a fight, it is a symbol
The Maki vs Sukuna battle in Jujutsu Kaisen remains one of the most exciting battles in the history of the manga. Not only has Maki proved herself as the most powerful Zenin throughout the manga, but she has also managed to stand against the ethics and conventions of Jujutsu sorcery.
Maki was able to defy the laws that govern the world of curses and yet she was able to surpass those who deemed her unnecessary and feeble. She was able to stand strong against the King of Curses solely based on her physical prowess and instinctive reflexes. This battle was not between Sukuna and Maki, but rather between sorcery and physical strength.
Maki became the personification of the human will and she stood for all commoners who deserve a chance at achieving heroic feats. She represented the unshackled human perseverance and that is one of the sole reasons why she was revered and feared by even Sukuna himself. As Sukuna said, he has never wanted to fight anybody more than Maki after Satoru Gojo.
Conclusion
The upcoming battle between Kusakabe and Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen 253 will greatly determine the future of this plot. Moreover, the further revelation of characters like Usami in Jujutsu Kaisen is expected to turn a few pages of this battle and might actually turn into something more than a mysterious reference.
