Jujutsu Kaisen (jjk) Chapter 9
A Chilling Silence
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 9 begins in the aftermath of Yuji’s collapse. His body is still. His pulse is gone. He’s officially dead.
Megumi kneels in shock. Nobara arrives—injured but alive—only to find Yuji’s lifeless form. The trio’s first mission ends in tragedy.
The Curse Is Gone—But at What Cost?
The Special Grade curse has been eliminated. The mission was technically a success.
But the price was enormous:
- Yuji is presumed dead
- The students are shaken
- The limits of their training are exposed
This marks a harsh reality check for sorcerer life.
Gojo Returns to Devastation
When Satoru Gojo returns and learns what happened, he’s visibly angry.
Why?
- The students were sent to face a Special Grade with no backup
- The higher-ups knowingly put them in harm’s way
- Yuji’s death was preventable
Gojo vows to challenge the Jujutsu elders’ reckless decisions.
Tokyo Jujutsu High Council Responds
At the Jujutsu headquarters, the council gathers to discuss Yuji’s situation.
Council’s Verdict
- Yuji’s corpse will be retained under surveillance
- They still consider him a vessel for Sukuna
- If he revives, they will execute him immediately
Even in death, Yuji is feared.
