What Is the Split Soul Katana?
The soul splitter katana, also known as split soul katana, is a cursed tool. It was originally Toji Fushiguro's weapon. Now, Maki Zenin wields a replica of Toji's original, made by her sister, Mai.
The split soul katana is a very important weapon because it bypasses any resistance from materials such as armor and cuts directly into an opponent's soul.
So far, Maki has used it to defeat the cursed spirit Naoya in his domain.
What Effect Could the Split Soul Katana Have on Sukuna? Theories Explored
Right now, we aren't entirely sure what would happen to Sukuna if he got hit by the split soul katana.
Reported leaks for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 251 suggest that Maki will try to use it against him.
So far, Sukuna is able to avoid it, but fans have plenty of theories as to what will happen if he gets hit.
Right now, Sukuna is tired from fighting Gojo, so the rest of the sorcerers stand a chance.
One prevalent fan theory is that Maki will use her split soul katana not only to defeat Sukuna but also to free Megumi Fushiguro's soul.
Sukuna currently possesses Megumi's body, and the King of Curses has taken great pains to submerge Megumi's soul.
But a weapon that can literally split a soul could even free Megumi if Maki manages to strike Sukuna.
However, some readers aren't that positive. A few fans have noted that Sukuna doesn't seem too concerned about the attack.
They believe that Sukuna might already know how to direct it against Megumi's soul, letting his own off the hook.
Alternatively, the split soul attack might hurt Sukuna but not destroy him entirely.
The full implications of the split soul katana attack against Sukuna are not entirely clear yet.
However, many fans are convinced that this will be the hit to determine the battle's outcome, especially since Maki's absence so far has been noted.
