Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 161

Chapter 161 Summary (Jujutsu Kaisen)

In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 161, the fight between Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma reaches a turning point inside the Tokyo No.1 Colony. After seeing Yuji accept responsibility during the trial, Higuruma’s approach begins to change.

Instead of finishing the fight with the Executioner’s Sword, Higuruma pauses. Yuji continues to stand his ground even without cursed energy, showing no intent to escape or deny anything. This steady mindset affects Higuruma more than the fight itself.

The tension shifts from combat to understanding. Higuruma recalls his past as a lawyer and the frustration that shaped his actions. Yuji’s honesty contrasts with the injustice Higuruma faced, making him reconsider his role in the Culling Game.

By the end, Higuruma hands over his 100 points to Yuji, allowing him to add a new rule to the game. The fight ends without a final strike, but with a decision that directly impacts the system created by Kenjaku.
