Jujutsu Kaisen's Thrilling Saga
As "Jujutsu Kaisen" unfolds its intense narrative, Chapter 247 ends 2023 with a bang, placing the spotlight on Hiromi Higuruma. This latest installment in the "JJK" series has been both breathtaking and somewhat anticipated by fans. Celebrated by Gege Akutami, Higuruma emerges as a formidable talent in Jujutsu Sorcery, captivating everyone, including the mighty Sukuna, with his combat prowess.
Hiromi Higuruma's Potential As The Next Gojo
In recent chapters, Higuruma's evolution as a sorcerer has captured the audience's imagination. His ascent in the mystical arts has been a gradual yet compelling journey, with each installment peeling back another layer of his burgeoning prowess. The enigmatic Kenjaku's intrigue in Higuruma's abilities only served to underscore the immense potential that he harbors within.
Among the ranks of those who have mastered cursed techniques, Higuruma stood out, capturing Kenjaku's exclusive attention — a testament to his unique and remarkable abilities. The moment Higuruma engaged in combat with Sukuna, it became evident to the formidable adversary as well. Sukuna saw in him a prodigious talent, capable of achieving heights akin to Gojo's own legendary status. Such high commendation from Sukuna set the stage for their epic confrontation to unfold.
Enthusiasts didn't require the validation from Kenjaku or Sukuna to recognize Higuruma's innate sorcery flair — it was evident in his rapid ascent within the mystical arts. Remarkably, it wasn't long ago that Higuruma's cursed technique lay dormant. He unveiled this power just before the onset of the Culling Game arc, and within a mere two months, honed his command of cursed energy to eclipse even a Grade 1 Sorcerer. Chapter by chapter, his prowess swelled, placing him on the cusp of Special Grade distinction. His adeptness at manipulating cursed energy even allowed him to deconstruct and navigate domains with finesse. Higuruma truly soared as a sorcerer, reaching unprecedented echelons. Alas, his rise has met an untimely end.
Higuruma Vs Sukuna
Chapter 247 of Jujutsu Kaisen delivered a riveting showdown that had fans on the edge of their seats. The spotlight was on Higuruma, whose ability to summon the Executioner's Sword—a feat achieved as Sukuna faced a deathly verdict—did not go unnoticed. Despite being overpowered, Higuruma's resilience shone through as he mastered self-defense against the formidable King of Curses.
Higuruma's strategic prowess was evident as he skillfully navigated between his innate cursed technique and the potent domain amplification. This adaptability earned him Sukuna's rare nod of approval, indicating that Higuruma's command of cursed energy rivaled that of Sukuna's own formidable power—a testament to his undeniable strength.
The battle escalated as Sukuna overpowered Higuruma in combat, an outcome that many had anticipated. Higuruma's domain amplification, though formidable, could not withstand the onslaught of Sukuna's close-range assaults and amplified incantations. A devastating 'Dismantle' from Sukuna inflicted severe injuries, severing Higuruma's limbs, and pushing him to the brink. In this dire moment, Higuruma's resolve was unshaken as he adeptly summoned a reverse cursed technique, showcasing his indomitable spirit and tactical ingenuity.
Miraculously, Higuruma regenerated his severed limbs, a feat that caught even Sukuna off guard. In a cunning move, he succeeded in piercing Sukuna’s hand. Yet, the triumph was short-lived; Sukuna had preemptively severed his own hand, rendering the execution penalty ineffective.
