Spoiler warning: This article includes spoilers for the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, so proceed with caution.
Satoru Gojo Inside the Prison Realm
In chapter 90 of the manga, Pseudo Geto manages to unleash the Prison Realm and seal Satoru Gojo.
As soon as he is sealed the Prison Realm slips from Geto’s grasp, plummeting to the ground as if burdened by immense weight.
Within its confines, Gojo lives in an unknown realm, surrounded by skeletal forms observing time stand still.
Acknowledging his error, Gojo remains hopeful, trusting in the support of his allies to set things right.
Something That Never Happened
This legendary panel from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 106 from the Shibuya Incident arc showcases the events that never happened.
After Itadori beats Choso, the Death Painting Womb’s head starts pounding, causing him to move away from Itadori.
In that instant, a false memory implants itself in Choso's mind, depicting a scene from a non-existent past.
In this imaginary recollection, Choso envisions himself peacefully dining at a picnic table alongside his brothers, an image that weirdly includes Itadori.
Eso and Kechizu join them, along with the remaining brothers, still bound as Cursed Womb: Death Paintings.
Even Itadori extends food to him, affectionately calling Choso big bro.
Empty Shibuya
The real Shibuya in Japan is full of lights and filled with locals and enthusiastic tourists from across the world.
However, this eerie-looking panel shows the famous Shibuya crossing empty and it appears quite gloomy.
The panel depicts the darkness that has descended over Shibuya and engulfed it during the Shibuya Incident arc.
Sukuna Unleashing the Fire Arrow at Jogo
One of the most visually stunning fights has to be Sukuna and Jogo’s battle in the Shibuya Incident arc.
In chapter 116, Sukuna and Jogo’s showdown reaches its peak.
Sukuna and Jogo stand on top of the smoldering remnants of Maximum: Meteor.
Sukuna unleashes an arrow of flames from his hands, while Jogo forms a compact fireball from his swirling energy.
Sukuna aims with the fully formed arrow poised between his fingers as Jogo faces him across the battlefield.
Yuta Okkotsu’s Domain Expansion
Considered one of the most powerful domain expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen, Okkotsu’s Authentic Mutual Love is unleashed in all its glory in chapter 249.
He uses the Copy technique to launch his domain expansion. During the chapter, Yuta is determined to atone for his mistakes and commits to defeating Sukuna.
He then unveils his domain expansion named Authentic Mutual Love.
In response to Okkutsu's domain expansion, Sukuna swiftly uses Hollow Wicker Basket, countering the domain's guaranteed strike effect.
Undeterred, Okkutsu seizes one of the katanas materialized within his domain and strikes at Sukuna.
Although Sukuna manages to parry the blow, he observes a fracture appearing on the blade as Okkutsu unleashes Thin Ice Breaker to amplify its strength.
120 Percent
Another iconic panel from the Shibuya Incident arc, Itadori, Aoi Todo, and Mahito’s battle reaches its next level as they go beyond their limits.
The panel is showcased in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 128 and it is revealed that all three warriors have brought out 120 percent of their potential.
Itadori Walking Through Slashes
Moving beyond the Shibuya Incident, this mind-boggling panel from the Culling Game arc's chapter 214 shows Yuji Itadori walking through Sukuna’s slashes.
Itadori is made acutely aware of Sukuna’s curse and directs his fury toward bringing him down.
Sukuna uses his innate technique to stop Itadori’s advance, asserting that those deemed weak have no entitlement to happiness.
Then Itadori braces himself for a fiercer confrontation, challenging Sukuna to confront his own misery.
Advancing toward Sukuna despite the barrage of slashes inflicted upon him, Itadori displays unwavering resolve.
Kento Nanami – “You got it from here”
We are returning to the Shibuya Incident arc, which is undoubtedly one of the most painful arcs of the series because of the loss of some of the most precious characters.
One such character is Kento Nanami. In chapter 120 of the manga, Nanami and Mahito’s battle is at its last leg.
Nanami is close to losing the fight. Meanwhile, Itadori is rushing toward his mentor in a desperate attempt to save him.
As Nanami’s final moment arrives, he smiles at Itadori before reassuring him that it is time for him to take over.
Sadly, soon after Mahito brutally murders Nanami, obliterating the upper part of his body, leaving Itadori in utter disbelief.
Fueled by a surge of anger, Itadori lets out a scream directed at Mahito.
Unfazed by the outburst, Mahito calmly remarks that he doesn’t need yelling to hear, eagerly anticipating Itadori’s attacks.
Eight Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 117 introduces Eight Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga.
Struggling to survive the unexpected assault from the curse user Haruta Shigemo, Megumi decides to reveal his ultimate plan.
He compels Shigemo into an inexorable exorcism ceremony, pitting him against the rampaging shikigami named Mahoraga.
Gojo’s Unsealing from the Prison Realm
We are coming full circle with Gojo finally coming out of the Prison Realm in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 221.
Gojo returned as Kenjaku made fun of his long rest. However, Gojo warned him and advised Kenjaku to choose his last words carefully.
He wastes no time as the sorcerer unleashes Blue, and a powerful gravitational force surges forth.
The panel is truly one of the best so far as it marks the return of an absolute fan-favorite character.
