What Happened to Hiromi Higuruma in JJK?
In the recently released Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 246, the story revolves around the battle against Sukuna.
Kusakabe entered the battle to save Higuruma and even managed to rescue him.
The chapter also showcased Sukuna battling against Choso, Yuji Itadori, and Higuruma.
Initially, Higuruma was pushed away by Sukuna, and the latter did not think that Higuruma could revive himself after the attack.
Higuruma is not the most experienced fighter given his limited exposure to battles and his lack of experience.
However, Sukuna was in for a surprise as Higuruma bounced back, proving that he should not be taken lightly.
However, he still stands out as a brilliant warrior. Demonstrating his potential, Higuruma has come a long way and even mastered his techniques.
In a mere two months, he has moved from a non-sorcerer to a sorcerer level surpassing Grade One proficiency.
As the chapter approached its end, Sukuna was fascinated that Higuruma was able to neutralize his technique.
We find out at the end that Higuruma was able to awaken his Domain Amplification.
Higuruma seems to be at the same level as Satoru Gojo, but it remains to be seen if he can still beat Sukuna.
Will Hiromi Higuruma Die in Jujutsu Kaisen?
The latest spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 247 paint a rather grim picture concerning the fate of Higuruma. Specifically, the leaks of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 247 hint that Higuruma might die.
Fans are already losing it, and many are indicating that this would be the second mentor that perishes right before Itadori’s eyes.
If we go back to the Shibuya Incident arc, Itadori witnessed Kento Nanami’s death at the hands of Mahito.
However, these are leaked spoilers, so we should still wait for the official release and see what Gege Akutami has in store for us.
Akutami is known to kill off or send away major characters from the story, causing major heartbreaks across the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.
Meanwhile, some fans are also hoping that Itadori might go all out and intervene in the battle to rescue Higuruma.
