There is little doubt that things are heating up for Maki Zenin as she takes on multiple opponents in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 197. So what can we expect in the next chapter of the manga? Creator Gege Akutami is hyping up Chapter 198 by teasing Naoya Zenin's power display!
It has already been confirmed that Naoya Zenin somehow managed to b reincarnated as a vengeful cursed spirit after he was killed by Maki's mother. Since then, Naoya has been after Maki for slaughtering the clan, something that continues in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 197.
But what will Naoya be up to in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 198? Gege Akutami hyped up the upcoming chapter and confirmed that we'll get to see the Cursed Spirit uses Domain Expansion.
"Next chapter!! We'll use domain expansion in the Sendai Colony as well. Naoya Zenin will work hard," Akutami wrote.
We're loving how enthusiastic Gege Akutami is about Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 198. With that in mind, we can't wait to find out what will happen to Maki when she faced Naoya yet again.
In the meantime, the international release of Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 17 had fans scratching their heads over an odd yet meaningful new translation.
In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 150, the Zenin clan is on the hunt for Maki Zen'in after she decapitates Ogi Zenin. However, Maki could not be stopped as she uses the new powers she acquired through her twin sister Mai's sacrifice. Maki annihilates the Kukuru Unit and the Hei. At the end of the chapter. she is confronted by her sadistic cousin Naoya who asks if she has a human heart. Maki replies, "No, it was taken from me."
