Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 122
Chapter 122 Summary (Jujutsu Kaisen)
In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 122, the focus stays on Yuji Itadori as he reacts to what just happened to Nobara Kugisaki. The shock hits him hard. For a moment, he completely loses his fighting rhythm, unable to process the situation in front of him.
Mahito takes advantage of this immediately. He keeps pressing forward, attacking both physically and mentally. Instead of just fighting, Mahito starts breaking Yuji down, forcing him to confront the pain and responsibility he has been carrying.
Yuji begins to question everything. The losses, the deaths, and his role in all of it start to weigh heavily on him. His movements slow down, and it feels like he might collapse under the pressure. The battlefield becomes less about physical strength and more about mental endurance.
Just as Yuji reaches his lowest point, the situation begins to shift again. The chapter builds tension around whether he will stand back up or completely give in to despair.
